[July 19th, 2009 at 5:36pm<=FRIENDS_DATE_FORMAT ] ybnormal237 well, here i am again because something else in my life is wrong and i need to vent. but first, the bright side: my new car is pretty awesome. i have to say that i definitely like it more than i thought i would. we did find a few problems and it is kinda gross because the person did not clean it, but after the beginning of this week, we should have it all taken care of. it drive really really nicely and runs really smoothly. it's very nice. on the other hand, joey's family vacation to canada is back on. i guess his grandma offered to pay for our cottage. i cannot say i am excited about it and there are various reasons as to why. first of all, it's boring there. last year was boring. we did nothing for an entire week. there are three girls close to our age (but they're actually 15) and two of them are not coming this year. there is one boy our age and i hate him. i feel like i need to take up a hobby like knitting, so i can at least feel like i accomplished something while being there. AND we have to drive to his house the day before to help his parents pack and then drive back to his house the day after to help them unpack, which makes the vacation ever loooonnnger. i am not going to be happy about doing that, especially driving back afterwards. i'm just gonna want to go home finally. also, his mom has decided that i am her new best friend or psychologist and that she can tell me about all of her problems. for example, last time i saw her for 5 minutes she told me about how she thought she was becoming an alcoholic and needed to go to rehab and that if she didn't find a job soon she was thinking of killing herself. seriously? what the fuck?! how am i supposed to react to that? she should not be saying that shit to me. no fucking way. and if i get left alone with her in canada, which i often do, and she starts saying this shit again, i am going to freak out. i don't even know what to say to her. another thing is that if i go, shanelle leaves for school like 2 days after we get back. and megan goes on her family vacation the week after us and then goes straight back to school, basically. that means i have 3 weeks left of summer, pretty much. nothing fun has even happened yet. what the fuck happened to this summer? i couldn't wait for summer to come because i had no friends at school and i had so much fun last summer, but now that it's supposedly here, it hasn't been that great. what the fuck? i feel like the only thing i have going for me is joey. thank buddha we have each other. i don't know what i would do without him because without him, i wouldn't have very much. it's like, when everything else is going wrong (which it seems to often), at least i know i can count on us because we couldn't be more right.

It was a dark & stormy night... [July 19th, 2009 at 3:15pm<=FRIENDS_DATE_FORMAT ] springyhair So, last night a couple of friends and I went down to Capital Ex to see the Arkells and Pilot Speed play on the EdFest stage...little did we know that the night would end in chaos as thousands of people tried to get out of the fairgrounds to avoid one of the biggest storms I've ever seen. The clouds came up before we left for the event, but we weren't too worried.  Summer storms are usually quick in this part of the world and we knew that there was the possibility of rain.  After walking around the grounds for a while (we were very early for the show), it started to spit.  We walked back over to the stage area, talked to the Sonic 102.9 radio people, bought some merch and then it started to pour.  We took shelter under the tent covering the port-a-pottie area (Klassy!) with a bunch of other people.  We watched the lightning and tried to dry off.  Within a 1/2 hour, the rain started to let up and Rick Lee (Sonic 102.9 DJ) came on stage and told us that they were going to be starting late, but the show would go on.  They had moved all of the equipment towards the back of the stage and needed to move it back as well as wipe the floors.  At about 8:50pm, the Arkells took the stage in the light rain and as they played, the sky cleared and it stopped.  I took a bunch of photos and rocked out.  It was a good time!  The band thanked us profusely for staying despite the weather, but we're Edmontonians and we will weather anything to see a good live show. When the Arkells left the stage, we moved up a little to get ready for Pilot Speed.  We chatted with a guy from Axe Music (instrument/equipment store) and he asked to get a few of my pictures to post on the Axe Music Facebook so he could talk about the equipment they used.  They had some pretty awesome guitars.  We then looked behind us to see the most menacing black cloud I have ever seen.  It was like midnight at 10pm.  It was at this point that we heard the security guards telling some people to get out of there.  They said the show wasn't going to happen and that the storm would be rolling in very quickly.  Apparently there had even been a tornado near Drayton Valley.  We started to run.  As we were running back to my car, the wind picked up (apparently it was gusting to 105km/hour) and we were being pelted with dirt.  The lightning was bright, lighting up the entire sky.  It looked like tornado weather.  Just as we got in my car, the rain started and so did the hail (size of golf balls approximately).  We managed to get out of the parking lot quickly because we happened to be near an exit, but as we neared the intersection, I noticed that the lights were out.  Many people weren't paying attention to them and were just racing through the intersection not obeying the 4-way stop rule.  We got out without any problems, but I'm sure there was probably an accident later on.  The whole drive home, we were faced with intersection lights out (on very busy/major street crossings), branches and leaves and some blown down trees.  The metal street signs were bending in the strength of the wind and most of the construction signs/pylons were blown down.  We also had to move into the far left lane and drive over some electrical wires (thankfully not live) because a light standard had fallen across the 3 lane street and damaged a car in the process.  As we got closer to home, the lightning became more intense.  It was lighting the entire sky from east to west.  The rain also got worse.  Driving down the road was like driving through foot deep puddles the entire way as rain fell in sheets and splashed up from under the tires of other cars.  We took refuge at one of the girl's houses and waited out the worst of the storm before I dropped everyone else off. Here are some pictures posted on our local newspaper website (they didn't manage to get a paper out this morning due to a power outage at their printing plant): www.edmontonjournal.com/news/Gallery+Storm+photos/1806207/story.html www.edmontonjournal.com/news/Gallery+Storm+aftermath/1806472/story.html Some one at Capital Ex captured the mass chaos as people tried to leave the grounds on video:

[July 20th, 2009 at 12:28am<=FRIENDS_DATE_FORMAT ] saintmaverick [ mood | blah ] Managed to find three of my old fanvideos on my other laptop. Two were of Crows Zero, because apparently I don't delete anything Crows Zero related, ever, and the third one was from the movie Sixty Nine. Will upload those survivors on Vimeo or something, idk, what's the medium for fanvids these days. The three lost videos that hurt me the most are Josh Ritter - To the Dogs or Whoever - George/Mason (Dead Like Me) Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down - Dean Winchester (Supernnatural) and that Capa/Mace (Sunshine) one I did to some instrumental song that I can't even remember the name of. Because I put so much love and annoyance and glee into those videos. D: They were goddamned masterpeices (we're talking my standart here of course)! D:

52; black and blue [July 19th, 2009 at 5:00pm<=FRIENDS_DATE_FORMAT ] siiiiimpl1city [ mood | tired ] So yesterday night, my sisters and I had a big fight and I ended up crying myself to sleep. And it wasn't like the quiet no-one-knows-you're-crying cries. I went over to my sisters room and said to them if they want to talk about me, don't talk about me behind my back and say it to my face, then I burst into tears and said I hate you guys. Ofcourse, my mother came over and asked me what the hell is wrong, but I told her nothing and so I shut off the lights and went to sleep crying. Yesterday night, I've thought about dying and why can't I just die? I know, I sound so suicidal but I couldn't help it, honestly I think that if I were to ever die, no one would really care so I might as well just die in my sleep and do everyone else a favour and get lost. I know I'm always mean and probably no one even likes me, they probably hate me because they think I'm selfish and stubborn. Everyone probably thinks horrible of me, but frankly I don't really care. When it comes to "people" I must say I'm not a people's person. I don't really love hanging out with anyone in particular because I don't believe in "best friends" or "soul mates" or just the word friends in general. Honestly, I couldn't care less if something happened. I'm just not that type of person who wants to care about other people. I don't believe in "true love" or any of those crappy things. I think I'd honestly do better on my own than with a so called friend.

you have no mail [July 20th, 2009 at 3:09am<=FRIENDS_DATE_FORMAT ] aii_shah [ mood | sleepy ] Is this how you're gonna look like in about 10 years time, Insyallah?     I am not in any mood to be talking about anything actually. Because usually before I opened livejournal.com , I'd have plenty in my mind. A heave load of them. But then when the page is finally opened, *zaaap!* Everything vanished. Well, its just that I've been spending alot of time with boyfriend now, and ironic as it may sound, I feel like the more time we spend together, the lesser time we actually have time, just the two of us. Because I am talking about the time he is having his competition trainings. Obviously with others around. Even if we have the time alone, its really pretty short. Y'know like yesterday.........which remind me of something. Have any of you visit that new shopping mall in town? No, not Ion ass. Its not even opened, right? That Orchard Central. It looks pretty awesome from the exterior, but really, inside, just like teens favorite shopping centre in town, Far East. Really. And the restaurants...alamak! The whole idea of the whole mall is really confusing. But on the other hand, its kinda cool too. They have rock climbing in the mall. Live band. A really cool chill out place. They name every level. The one that I can clearly remember is, The Runway which is Level 2-3. And a few cool shops la of course. I really hope Ion would be better. And I know it would be. But Orchard Central, seriously? Didn't even see any fast food restaurants there. Haha!
