Michael Jackson. Strangely, now he's passed on, I don't feel an intense need to slander him, and openly admit that his music rocks harder than... rocks.
Ha, I should really update this more often. The hard work got to me terribly during the last couple of weeks. I quit EVERYTHING. No joke. Even the Eco Club. I had 3 nervous breakdowns. THREE.
If it were not for Rudyard, Kat and Drew in particular, I would have had at least 3 more. And Venice. I owe an awful lot to Venice.
I decided last week that there was no real need for me to be in all this other stuff; my grades were much more important and it had gotten to the point where once I had finished all this stuff and arrived home at 6 every evening, I didn't ever feel like doing my school work. I'm pretty sure my average right now is around 85%, and concidering the work I'm putting in, thats a miracle. If you want to know the extremities, yesterday, Monday the 22nd, Kat and I sat out of law class to write the essay that was due Friday... the 12th. But our teacher is a hero, who isn't docking marks for lateness. She is GAHMAZING.
So I quit everything. But I decided to keep the Eco Club. Honestly, its the only club I really care about. So I decided to refocus my efforts there, and on my school work. But of course nothing is as simple, is it?
I snapped when Katherine told me she wanted to take over the fast. And I quit. Right there.
*facepalm*
This was the day before Venice. We spent 3 days following this event, pretty much chilling in a 4 star hotel, and running around the most beautiful city I have ever been to while it rained 23 hours of the day for the full 3 days. I felt so relaxed afterwards, I cannot even express how good it feels, the relief after all that stress. And I realised that Katherine can run the fast if she wants, but I want the Eco Club. I sent her an email and asked that she and the other members decide if they want me to return to my post as president. They agreed to the discussion. Following this, they informed me that I could return to the club, but only as a member, and that Katherine would be the President.
Firstly, since it is my right as a student in my school to be in any club I want, so I'm kind of shellshocked that they discussed weither I could actually be in the club. I have a sinking suspicion that she voted no on that one.
Secondly, I am mildly surprised that they decided I couldn't be president. I admit, and I said at the time, it was childish of me to quit in the first place, but concidering the amount of other stuff I was doing, and the success of the previous semester and a half that I ran the club, I am still a little surprised. But Kat was right when she said Katherine is on a bit of a powertrip. She loves controll, and she never liked me.
But I also decided not to care. Okay, I cried shortly after all this, but Kat brought me to Ports, got me a cappucino, and I remembered that I had been having a really awesome day. Why?
Well, because I AM GOING TO DUBLIN IN 3 WEEKS, AND DREW IS COMING DOWN TO DUBLIN.
Nothing could make someone happier than that.
I have made absaloutly ZERO plans so far, other than that I am going into Trinity one of the days, and that spending time with Drew is my NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. He invited me to stay with Ken while he is staying with Ken, but 1. I'm not sure I would be allowed, and 2. I don't think Ken knows this yet. So.
I also hope to see my girl while I'm home. I havn't told her yet though. Should get around to that.
AND MAID CAFE REUNION. =) Hoping to get the girls together to watch Brokeback Mountain. Epic. Maybe I should message Kick Ass Crazy Socks Girl. No, I only have 4 days with friends and 4 days with family. This could be too much. I have to figure out the most important people. ... or have them come to me.
VERSAILLES ARE PLAYING IN EUROPE!!! they are doing 2 gigs in France in July, and a gig in London in June. God I would love to go.
But I am applying for a summer job in Ireland. Well, I'm hoping to. I'm hoping to au pair in Dublin for the summer. It seems almost likely *crosses fingers* I hope I can do it - 100-200€ a week, evenings and weekends off, free food and accomadation - it's almost too good to be true.
And I could spend time with Drew and my friends =)
But the most important thing is the money, and SAVING the money. Why?
BECAUSE I GOT IST ON THE WORLDJAMBOREE
Yes, I got a coveted position of staff on the World Scout Jamboree in Sweden in 2011. But it costs a fortune. So I need a Job asap!! Aupairing seems like the most logical course. So I'm working on it.
So for the next 3 weeks I am working hard on my school stuff, getting good grades, getting ready to go into Trinity with my cousin, working out who loves me most, waiting for my Lolita dress to arrive in the post [ordered 3 days ago ;) ] and making up a CV for my aupair applications. And trying not to be too bitter to Katherine.
But I'm really happy =)

Davey Wavey
title comes from my current obsession song, Fireflies by Owl City <-- my cheer me up song.
Recently I've found another inspirational person. His name is Davey Wavey, and he has an outlook on life, the univerise and everything that I wish I could have - no, the outlook I'm trying my darndest to find.
He's a 26 year old gay man who is unashamed of who he is. He gives amazing advice and has the purest spirit of anyone I have heard of over 14 years old. He sees the world in its most beautiful form and finds positivity in the darkest of topics. he is not niave in his views, he just has a different set of eyes which capture the things we all should be seeing.
I follow him on Youtube, Facebook, Twitter and his blog because I feel like every post and video he makes is teaching me. I want to see as he does, because I think he is much happier because of it. I like to think I'm a positive enough person, but lately I have been stressed out and unhappy, but a couple of days ago I went back to his Youtube after a long time away from it and it made me smile, and feel better about life.
He is very camp, and I think that a lot of people would be put off by his "allergy to shirts" but I love him, to be honest. SO, there is my Davey Wavey praise session finished.

AMV Hell
I totally forgot to mention that I finished my AMV
Its called "So Why Dont you Slide?" and its a Tamaki/Haruhi video from Ouran High School Host Club. The song is blocked on youtube, so it's on Megavideo, but feel free to comment it on YouTube

The music is by the Goo Goo Dolls, and they are my favourite band of all time. <3

I like to make myself believe, that the Earth turns slowly
Wow, school is way harder than I remember.
Though that could be because I'm in grade 12 now. <.< >.>
Last week was a whirlwind of assignments and homework, with little to no time to myself. This weekend was spent primarily recovering from that week. I can see a pattern forming.
I was initially taking International Law, Writers Craft and English 12 - the first 2 days I had a lot of work just from those subjects. Then, somehow, Kat managed to convince me that it would be a good idea to take Canadian History too. So now I'm in 4 heavy classes. Wonderful.
However, somehow, despite all of that, I'm actually doing rather well. My first proper Law assignment about Roger, the man that got eaten by his friends, earned me a stunning 95%, while my Short Story about myself for Writers Craft got 90%. Not bad.
I've taken on probably too many other things though. For example, I volunteetered to be in a promotional uniforms video at school, to be on the Yearbook committee, to run Debate and Eco Club, and we are amist preparations for the Fast in Eco Club. All of a sudden, all of the rest of the Yearbook committee have dropped out, leaving me alone with a difficult teacher on this Yearbook. I'm also designing a cover for the promo book for my school. And, my Art teacher has offered to get me into this Comic Book local convention at the end of the month, which means I need to make a comic. All this, while maintaining my lucky good grades? Thank goodness most of this stuff will have died down by March. *phew*
Not much else happening. At the end of the week my parents are both going away, and my friend Maxi is probably coming to stay, since her mother is away as well. Just to make life interesting. It prolly wont have much of an effect on myself, I'm planning to spend the weekend on Webcam to Drew ^.^
New kid at school told me he wasnt a douchebag. Good sign.
I finished reading Dorian Gray. I loved it. So much. Seriously. I don't know how one can have an intense love/hate relationship with a character from a book, but I do. I seriously recommend reading it. I started James Joyce's "Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man." Very confusing. It will take a lot of work to read it, but I'm up for the challenge.
I don't really have much more to say, so I'm going to go take a shower and then make up some surveys. *sighs* No rest for the wicked, even when the homework is lax. This weekend I'm determined to play World of Warcraft.
Ciao.
