Fun Fun in Toronto...

"Can you imagine when this race is run?"

State: Im fine but Im kinda pissed off at my sister for being such a bitch. My mom is worried about her hanging out with a couple boys (she doesnt know one of them is my sisters boyfriend) and she doesnt really know what to do about them geing together all the time. So I tried to help out by talking to Michelle because she would usually take things better from mem but she goes all defensive and says stop acting like my mother. She is so clueless...
Book: I have a plan to finish Harry Potter hopefully this weekend or later this week. Probably won't happen but at least i have a goal...
Music: The music from this movie my sister is watching with her friend in the next room over is playing through the walls...Ooo something just went "BANG".
Boy: It's a boy I can't talk about, but I think Im really starting to like him and I dont really know what to do about it. I sound so childish saying this..."I like a boooyy..." but hey, whats a girl to do? I think Ill just wait it out and see what happens...*bites lip nervously*
Interesting thing that happened today: I ate 5 pieces of chocolate and nothing else so far today. Ive only been awake for an hour...

So yesterday we went to the university fair as you must well know by now. Ill just go through the day quickly becuase I dont really feel like typing much anymore. We all met at the bus station at 7 15 am: Me, Jess, Seana, Svetlana, Hannah, and Andrea (who is in grade 10 but wanted to come anyways) We got to Toronto at about 10 and got off at Queen St. and walked to the Convention Center. We spent about an hour actually in the U Fair and then were pretty much done so we left. Then we took the subway to the Eaton Center and shopped for a few hours. We went to H&M which Jess and I had been planning to go to together for a long time. I bought a Honey Bee bath bomb and some Lip Squeek lip balm at Lush and then we left and walked towards Kensington Market. As we were walking we stopped at a couple jewlery stands and I opened my lip balm and realized that all the balm was stuck to the lid and none in the bottom...so guess what...right next to a jewlery stand is another Lush and so I went in and tradded my lip balm for one that wasnt stuck to the lid. Then we made our way to Kensington Market. Seana wanted to look at drums. Jess had just said, "If you ever want to buy pot this is the place to come..." when we walked passed this Jamaican Guy standing outside a shop with Jamaican Flags covered in pot leaves. He turned to us and asked, "Where are you from?" and Seana just smiles and says "Peterborough" like it doesnt matter and he was totally gonna start up a conversation. Then we were like "Seana" and so she came. Now Seana isnt blonde but she had a few moments of stupidity that day. That guy was totally gonna try to sell her pot and she, being so naive and innocent, didnt even realize it. She also asked earlier when we were on the bus "what the pointy thing was" and we were like "Seana that's the CN Tower..." O MYYY...she didnt know what the CN tower was... anyways after that we walked back to the bus station and got on a bus after so confusion and came back to peterborough at around 6 30 and went straight to youth group. The End. ha ha ha... oh and I also ate a chocolate covered grasshopper...

The future is set...at least until Friday...

"Music's for the sad man."

State: Tired...not looking forward to trying to understand chemistry.
Music: Billy Jean by Micheal Jackson...I actually think he's a great artiste. He's just...sketchy...
Boy: hmmmm...I think it might have to be...Teddy Geiger at the moment...He's gorgeous in this picture (though he can be funny looking in some pics...I dont look at those) and he's got a great voice and he's really musical. He plays all the instruments and wrote all the songs on his CD Underage Thinking.
Interesting thing that happened today: I felt comfortable with what I am planning for my future, like where I'll be next year and how many university courses I'll have. I will have such a variety and it puts me in a good place to get into university, I think.

Okay so here's the lowdown. Wow I am soo cool using words like that! (; Anyways, this year Im getting 5 U courses and I need 6 to get into University. Next year I'll be taking 4 or 5 more courses. That is 9 or 10 in total!! That is soo good. This year Im getting 3U math, 4U chem, grade 12 vocals, and Ill have 4U english and two theater courses for university as well as accounting. Next year I am taking 3 and 4 U Biology, a 4U history hopefully, and one or two maths. Im going to see what courses I need for Psychology or Speech Pathology (which wouldnt be in my first year anyways) and then figure out what math to take, whether it is Calculus or Data Management or both. We shall see.
It turns out Seana is comming to the University Fair on friday after all. And so is some other girl I don't know. She has a spare at the same time as me I believe. So there will be four of us and we have to be at the bus station for like 7:15 AM. yuck! oh well...

You get pretty this time!...

"Life is a short trip."

Mood: I'm thinking of cahnging this one to state at the moment. That way I can include how Im feeling physically and not just my mood. I will do just that. So Im feeling tired because I just walked home from school and it takes about 50 minutes walking at a regular pace. You can cut it shorter if you're walking faster and add time if you're walking with friends or take a long route. I did the later when I was in grade nine because I didn't really know my way home...I prolly could have figured it out but whatever.
Music: Sadness Grows by faithlift...was my dad's CD but I stole it. It's pretty good for being made in 1993...I was 4...
Boy: Still Lucas Black, but I'll add a crush that I've had on Liam for over a year. He is in my grade and is from Wales...Sooooo Cute! He's got a great accent. *bites lip in a cute and completely unsexual way* So ya...
Interesting thing that happened today: I have an 84% in Chem! 84!!! Im so happy but yes...it is still only the first month of school. I still have 4 months left to fail...Oh! Gilmore Girls premieres tonight!! I am soo excited. And So does Veronica Mars!! my other favortie but I dont get the channel and I have choir tonight at the time it's on so I cant go to Rachel's to watch it. I would if I could but I can't so I CRY!!!...

Well that was long! I dont even really need to write anything else. I just have so much work to do lately and I quit SATB choir. For you who arent musical or go to my school, that's my school choir and SATB stands for Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Baritone and they are the four secitons in the choir. The PCC (peterborough children's chorus) is only SAB but we split sopranos and sometimes split the guys up too. So we can have a 5 part split if we wanted. I have a vocal singing test tomorrow and I did a presentation today in that class on the changing voice. We have a demo we have to do in chemistry. I no longer have a lunch hour as they are taken up by doing vocals work, preparing for chem and going to university meetings. Im going to the University Fair in Toronto with Jess by Greyhound. I've never been on one before and Im excited to go to the fair so ya...okay I'm off to "do homework" now...

No pretty for you...too bad...

"Sitting in a sandpit..."

Mood: I am just in a suberb mood today, even if it is cloudy. My moods usually correspond with the weather and though there is some blue sky, it is mostly cloudy.
Music: Hold On (Acoustic) by Stellar Kart
Boy: Lucas Black...from The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift. He's got the cutest southern accent and is quite attractive if I may say so. He is supposed to be 17 in the movie though he's actually 24. There's also this other guy but I can't talk about that here.
Interesting thing that happened today: I sang with the Westmount Bible Chaple youth worship band during the service this morning.

So we have another practice tonight in less than an hour...it's at 5:30. Let's see...there's me Emily and Seana from the picutre last time, Etienne, Vanessa, Joel, Sebastian, Malcom and Manfred. (The last two are father's and the rest are in the youth group.) This is the first time I've sang at a service with them. I came to a few practices before but was never able to sing with them before. It's lots of fun...
So anyways, about Impact. I don't really feel like writting about this but oh well...Seana and I are planning a concert and a big kick off for the christian group at our school because we are running it this year. The last couple years the group has gone downhill in a very big way so we're trying to let people know about the group. Most people had no idea the group even existed. There's alot of planning going into it all, but our principal is supportive which is incredible. So that's all for right now. I have to go in about 25 minutes...no it hasn't taken me half an hour to write thing. I tried to download a picture of Lucas Black about 4 time and it worked once but then was centered when I wanted it to be on the right so I deleted it and haven't been able to get it back on since. I'll try it again. If it doesn't work, oh well. You dont get to admire his prettiness...

Return on the Internet...

"We don't have the power, but we never say never."

Mood: Happy because my internet is working again. No stress, quite well rested. All around just pretty darn good.
Book: I read a whole 2 chapters this week.
Music: 80's Joint by Kelis
Boy: Oh my dearest Teddy...wow he has a funny name...oh well...he's just so gorgeous...
Interesting thing the happened today: I am doing my math homework. I haven't been awake all that long...Gimme' a break I haven't done much yet today.

So my dad fixed my internet which made me happy. It wasn't working since Thursaday. I dont really have much to say at the moment. I think I'll finish my math now and maybe post a bit later. Then I can talk about Seana and my plans for Impact. I'll prolly see her later today.
This is Seana and Emily:

Where are all the frisbees and picnic blankets?...

"Let us die young or let us live forever."

Mood: Happy even when I know how much stuff I have to do.
Music: It Ends Tonight by The All-American Rejects...Such a good song! Oh, how wonderful art thou, yee All-American Rejects. loveLoveLOVE!
Boy: Not really anything different here. I am a boring boy lover. Ah well...
Interesting thing that happened today: College/University Info assembly at school today. You will see why it is interesting in just a minute.

I am now panic stricken because I have no idea what I want to do with my life. I am staying at PCVS for an extra semester to get Calculus (that doesn't look like it's spelled right) and a history or something. I can't apply to university quite yet because I need one more university course. Just cuz I was stupid and didn't take biology I completely limit myself and I cant take so many courses. I might have to take grade 11 biology in grade 12+ which is really sad. But OMGOOODNESSSS AAAAAHHHHHHH...I dont know what to do!!! I am going to the University Fair in Toronto on the 29th so that might help a bit. But I am not sure if I want to do something involving history, drama, vocals, the humanities...I need biology to da anything like massage therapy...I just dont know. Maybe I should take it. I should have this year!! but i dont think i can get in it now. I might be able to do it online or like a correspondance course or something. I think I'll do that or summer school. Gah Planning my whole life at seventeen is not a picturesque walk in the park. There are no dogs catching frisbees or picninc blankets or even young couple going at it in the long grass...I want to die young so I dont have to plan my life...Forever Young would be nice at the moment...I hate growing up...

Smart teachers and focus...or a lack there of...

"Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?"

Mood: Slightly stressed, but not enough that I'm going to start on my chemistry homework.
Book: hmmm...maybe I should only write this one when I finish or start a book...I think I'll do that. It might be different when I get too busy to write anything or have more time on my hands to read.
Music: What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong. Not quite suiting my attitude towards the world at the moment.
Boy: My sister has enough boys to cover my lack of interest in them at the moment.
Interesting Thing That Happened: I didn't do so well on my chemistry test.

I thought i was going to do really well...it turns out i got 26 out of 38...thats 68%. I was hoping for much better than that. Luckily, Mrs Armitage (aka Mrs A, my chem teacher) is really nice and decided to write our marks out of 36. So that evens out to 72% in the end which makes me happy I guess. Originally she marked one of the questions wrong and I only had 66% which on top of everything almost made me break down. I dont think I am going to be in the school choir anymore because it is too much. Mrs Vanderbank (aka Mrs V) who teachers my vocals class runs the choir and when I told her I might not be able to she seemed so indifferent that it just really made me not was to stay in. It kinda pissed me off. That's so not what I need right now. The least she could have done was pretended to care whether I was in it or not. As much as I love Mrs V, she can be a real bitch sometimes. I mean it's not like I wanted her to fall to her knees and beg me to stay or anything, just to even show to expression on her face, instead of the whatever-i-wouldn't-care-even-if-you-fell-to-the-floor-and-rithed-in-pain-from-some-incurable-disease-you-had-been-diagnosed-with look. Is that even a really look? Oh well. I am also starting to very much dislike me math teacher, Mr Edwards. He doesnt have a nickname cuz I dont really like him. He doesnt seem to be able to understand anything and me and Tamara are thinking about teaching the class ourselves, though no one would learn anything cuz I am not the best at math. Okay well I should really be starting on the chem hwk. Ahh I dont wanna!! DONT MAKE ME DO IT!!! Well, at least I have choir to look forward to. I'm part of the Peterborough Youth Choir which is the eldest choir in the Peterborough Children's Chorus. There are 3 choirs and we do a christmas concert and a spring concert. You can visit the site HERE . We are actually really good, not meaning to be cocky. We work hard and have a great director, Maureen Harris-Lowe. Anyways...chem hoework...haha hoe work. Keep focused Sara...

Too much!!...

"Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst."

Mood: Slightly better than a minute ago when I was having a bit of an anxiety attack.
Book: Still the 3rd Harry Potter.
Music: Silence...I need it.
Boy: Who cares right now. I have too much else to worry about.
Interesting thing that happened today: I think I did well on a chemistry test.

Today's quote is so fitting. Im hoping everything will work out, but Im prepared to have it all come crashing down on top of me and crush my bones until all thats left is a pile of dust that floats away on the wind, finally giving me the peace that I so long for. Oh...so dramatic! Anyways, my plate is way too full, hence the Too much!!! I'm not going to go list it all but there is school work and choirs and I just had to cancel my G2 test which was schedueled for the 21st of September for the past month. Now I'm going on October 26 I believe. Probably should check that. Me and my friend Seana are running this year's Impact group at our school. It's the christian group. Were are trying to put together this concert and a thing called The Booth, which I wont describe now, in about 3 weeks or something. Anyways, there's just alot I need to be doing. Plus, these personal stuff I need to deal with and I cant do it all...I just cant...

Tomorrow's a new day...I need sleep...Goodnight...

Teddy and Curious George...

"We're only watching the sky."

1. Mood: Relatively pleasent and no longer slightly pissed that my internet sucks because, at the moment, it is working.
2. Book: Re-reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling.
3. Music: Shadowland by Youth Group
4. Boy: Teddy Dunn who, to my great distress and sadness, is no longer going to play Duncan Kane in Veronica Mars, only the best show ever.
5. Interesting Event: My sister was begging me to let her organise my closet. Weird...

Yesterday I finally bought a pencil case because I had none and was using a plastic ziplock back. A couple of my friends were saying that I was wasting plastic and harming the earth or something along those lines. So I bought one. It's acutally slightly cheesy but it's really cute. It's a purple Curious George one on which he is being messy and there are spilled paint cans and painty hand prints on it. George and his name are kinda puffy and plastic. Does that make sense...Can you picutre it? Hmmm maybe I'll take a picture for you. Yes I'll do that.

So this is it <---. Anyways that acutally took about half an hour just to load that and the pic of Teddy so I'm going to leave it today because I really need to study for my chemistry test and I wanted to go for a walk because it's gogeous out. Not a cloud in the little section of the sky I can see from my window with my view that is obstructed by plants and trees. No wait...there's one, one cloud...two..three...okay so there's clouds in the sky. Oh well, it's still nice out. So I'll write more later.

Structure...

"Heaven can wait."

I think I might skip the chorus or at least not type forever young 3 times in a row. And I won't repeat the chorus either.

Now about structure...I think that if I have some sort or structure to my blog, as in what I'm going to type about, I might be more inclined to post more often. Now I am allowing myself to write randomly and whatever I want, but I want to ad a couple sections that I always have for yours and my entertainment. More so mine. So the categories are (and I'm not neccesarily going to write extensively about these categories. It could be as much as one word.) :

1. Mood at the time of post. (Self explanitory?)
2. What book I'm reading at the moment. (I will most likely just right the title and author and tell about what I thought after I finish it.)
3. What song I'm listening to. (Again it will most likely be brief unless I feel like going into detail, which I just might.)
4. Boy of the moment. (Could be celebrity or otherwise. This is just because I tend to be fickle about my infatuations.)
5. Interesting thing that happened today. (Again...self explanitory.)

We'll see what else happens. I will quite possibly add more. So I'll start each post off with that and the quote. Im going to stop here and write another post with the categories included.

Ideas...

"Let's dance in style. Let's dance for a while."

Okay so I had this idea whilst listening to Forever Young by Youth Group which this blog is named after. So I said to myself, "Sara, why dont you start each post off with a line from the song?" And so that is what I am going to do. I'll go in order and write a new line of the song every week. Sure it isn't that creative, but it gives me more to fill these lines up with and more for you to read. And it could even be inspirational to you. So I'm just going to go ahead and give myself a little pat on the back for that brilliant idea and you can congradulate me later. :)

Welcome to Forever Young

Hello! Welcome to my brand spankin' new blog site. My name is Sara(h) and I will be your host for the evening. Or morning depending on where you are. The reason for the '(h)' is that my name is legally spelled with an 'h' as in that's what my parents named me, but I usually spell it without because it's quicker and easier. So it doesnt really matter how you spell it.

This is me: -------------------->

I don't usually look so strange, but I have a tendency to pose or make a weird face when a camera appears.

So I just got the incling to create this blog because I was thinking about how lazy I am. Meaning: I would never write in this because I would forget about it and be lazy and not want to write anything. It doesnt really make sense to me either. Oh well... Anyways, the reason I named it forever young was:
1. I love the song Forever Young by Youth Group

2. I thought it sounded good.

3. .....

Well, I kinda got ahead of myself with the whole reasons for naming the blog and only had actually thought of the first reason. I also really like the song name as a blog name. I might change it to whatever I'm listening to at the moment depending on my mood and the appropriateness of the song title. For example, at the moment Im listening to Billy by James Blunt and you cant really name a blog Billy. Much more thought will go into than that. But for now we will stick with forever young and you will just have to deal with it. If you happening to be listening to a super duper amazing song and want me to hear it, tell me. I think I have allowed anyone to be able to comment. I havent used blogger in a while so Im still remembering everything. Hope you find me entertaining...
