Ali

Ah...half day. Anyways...not a lot of time to write, but I'm going to post my random facts. It's a sure fire way to keep me posting. I do have a habit of neglecting things. I haven’t sent an e-mail in months...oops.

Random Fact of the Day #9:

Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin ate roasted turkey from foil packets at their first meal on the moon.

Stupid Quote of the Day #9:

"I AM the federal government."
–Tom DeLay after being told to put out his cigar because of federal government regulations banning smoking in the building

Well, that's it for now. I'm going to watch The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe for the third time today. Sigh...good movie. Good soundtrack. :)

Wow...that was one- scratch that- the best band trip I have ever been on. It was so much fun. I didn't really want to leave. Not that I didn't want to come home, but...yeah you know what I mean. Sigh...today I managed to get stuck twice. Once in the airplane bathroom, and I had to get a flight attendant to come let me out, and the second time I got stuck in a revolving door. The door just stopped turning. It doesn't make any sense! How could someone get stuck in a REVOLVING DOOR? It was just sad. And to make matters worse, everyone just pointed and laughed instead of coming to help. :( Anyways...I really can't write too much. I have to go finish homework I was supposed to do this week. Here are the random facts and stupid quotes I should have done, but I wasn't here. I was in Alberta. I miss Alberta. :(


Random Fact of the Day #3-8:

There are more than 10 million bricks in the Empire State Building.

Donald Duck comics were banned in Finland because he doesn't wear pants.

Giraffes are unable to cough.

A human being loses an average of 40 to 100 strands of hair a day.

Assuming Rudolph was in front there are 40320 ways to arrange the other eight reindeer.

It takes about 142.18 licks to reach the center of a tootsie pop.

Stupid Quote of the Day #3-8:

"How to store your baby walker: First, remove baby."
-Anon/ Manufacturer

"It is white."
-George W. Bush, when asked what the White House was like

"SAFETY FIRST: Please put on your seat belt- prepare for accident."
-Sign on backseat of Taxi

"I get to go to lots of overseas places, like Canada."
-Britney Spears

"We've got to pause and ask ourselves: How much clean air do we need?"
-Lee Iacocca

"CAUTION: Knife is very sharp. Keep out of children."
-Anonymous Manufacturer

According to the official Darwin Awards site, the Darwin Awards "salute the improvement of the human genome by honouring those who remove themselves from it." I just skimmed through the site, and I found this title entertaining- "Death by Lava Lamp." How is that even possible? Who honestly would die from a lava lamp? Well, I guess there are some pretty thick people out there...

Well today I did a whole lot of nothing. Frank sends his regards. In the form of a Baaah. I have now decided to cut back on buying things for friends who don't get to go to Alberta, I'm going to get them random things that don't cost anything (like steal a salt shaker from restaurants we visit), therefore increasing MY spending money. Do you think they will let me take home a twenty foot tree? Maybe. Do you think they'll let me sleep in the overhead compartments. Whoa. Alison calm down. Sorry, I talk to myself. Anyways, I'm really excited about flying in a plane. I mean really. And I'm worried about my Passion Flakie. I left it in the music room, and someone probably ate it. Yeah...I really don't know what to write about. Sorry. I'm really out of steam. I just did like five billion math sheets. YAY! (sarcastic yay, in case you couldn't tell.)

Random Fact of the Day #2:

Nutmeg is extremely poisonous if injected intravenously.

Stupid Quote of the Day #2:

"China is a big country, inhabited by many Chinese."
-Charles De Gaulle, former French President

Bet you didn't know that thing about nutmeg, huh? MUAHAHA! I'm over here hoarding all my secret information. Well, not really. I'm sure you could get it out of me with a few good shocks from a stun gun. *cough* JOIN MY EMPIRE!!!! That is all.

Wow. Finally back from "friggin Brigadoon." Had fun though. I didn't do too much on Friday or Saturday. We had Easter dinner on Saturday. It was good. I quite enjoyed my bowl of mush. It was much better than eating Winston Ignatious Fillander. That's what I named the turkey. After sharing such a close bond with a dead animal, how could anyone eat him? :( Poor Winston. Anyways, then on Sunday we had our Easter egg hunt. It was quite sad. Everyone slept in. So we didn't end up doing it until noon. That's the latest we've ever done it. Ever. In the history of all that is Kirkpatrick! Well, anyways when we did do it, it was fun. Just picture these kids ranging from 16 to 20 running around like it's a full body contact sport. Yeah. My sister was the "Easter Bunny" so she didn't get to do the hunt, and all my little cousins were gone, so I was the only girl. Yeah. We take it pretty seriously. I am proud to say I found the last egg. That's sort of like special. Sort of like the first one who jumps in the lake is special. Do you know what I mean? Probably not. Yeah, well anyway. I don't really want to go to school on Tuesday. I'm too excited for Wednesday. YAY ALBERTA! I wonder who's sitting next to me. Hee hee (*evil grin)!! I wonder how annoyed someone can get with five straight hours of me? We'll see.

Random Fact of the day #1:
Abdul Kassem Ismeal, Grand Vizier of Persia in the tenth century, carried his library with him wherever he went. The 117 000 volumes were carried by 400 camels which were trained to walk in alphabetical order.

Stupid Quote of the Day #1:
"I have opinions of my own- strong opinions- but I don't always agree with them."
-George Bush

So yeah. I'm getting creative. OOOOooooOOOO!! Just kidding.

Well, I'm writing this because even Jibs has written something, and I've sort of been neglecting it again. Just a little. So yeah, I don't know exactly what to write. I'm finding it difficult to come up with any coherent thought at the moment, due to the fact that I am extremely hyper and excited. There are only five days until we leave. Only five. Wow, I just realized how late it is, as I sit here eating my monstrosity of a muffin. I swear it's a beast. It's unnatural for a muffin to be this big. When it gets to the point that you have to eat a muffin with a fork, you know it's too big. Wow, look at this...I've gone rambling off about a muffin. Well, that's about the extent of my life... No, I'm just kidding. EVERYONE THIS A STATE OF EMERGENCY! YOU MUST JOIN MY EMPIRE TO OVERTHROW ANOTHER "UNMENTIONED" EMPIRE, DUE TO THEIR UNJUST AND CRUEL TREATMENT OF OTHERS (NAMELY ME). I PROMISE TO GIVE EVERYONE EQUAL SHOCKING RIGHTS! Sigh, that makes me feel better now. GO GREEN PARTY. Now I feel even better. For the record, does anyone want to join me when I protest against the Oil Refineries to spite Kyle? We're going to chain ourselves to the doors. Silence. Okay, I take that as a no. I will abandon my ideas, for my own sake, as I would probably be beaten if I tried to chain myself to the doors. Or even if I mentioned that I supported the Green Party. Remember guys don't ask the guys in red the directions to the armoury. Wow, I'm excited for Easter. My little cousins aren't coming, so our Easter Egg hunt is going to turn into a full body contact sport. Every person for themselves. You have to be really sneaky if you want to win. Listen to me...I'm discussing tactics. Sorry, we take the egg hunt seriously at our cottage. You kind of have to or you won't get any chocolate. Wow, I really am rambling. I should probably go to bed now... Maybe... Yes. Good night people who don't even read what I write.

I suppose I should write something, huh? I guess I've sort of been neglecting it. I guess it's just been a hectic week, with band and drama, and then loads of homework. What's with teachers lately? I feel like they're giving a lot more homework this semester. Maybe it's just me... Anyways...today was kind of boring, probably because we didn't have band...and I ran out of mint chocolate eggs. Man, those things are soooooo good. MMM...although I probably shouldn't eat any, as I'm pretty much already wired. I'm kind of upset too, because Jibs and Kyle ripped my star into tiny pieces, and giving me them back piece by piece. I'm an emotional wreck. To tell you the truth, I'm not even over my spoon. :( ---> I AM SO EXCITED! There are only five days until Harry Potter 4 comes out on DVD!! Yay! Well, I was in business today, and I didn't really want to work, so I played on the internet and I found these cool blog things. Some of them are so funny. There's like a kajillion (yes a kajillion...almost as a bad as blugh JIBS!!) There's even one to see how addicted to Live Journal.

http://www.blogthings.com/areyouaddictedtolivejournalquiz/

I didn't do that one because I'd probably fail...I'm really bad at remembering to write stuff... I only know one person who's addicted to Live Journal. *cough* Her name starts with L. *cough* Anyways, I thought I'd try a really deep one to see how they could sort out this psychotic mess. (According to their 'How Abnormal Are You Test?' it is somewhat likely I will get Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and become addicted to hand sanitizer!) Anyways, here are the results. They're actually pretty good. It was kind of weird actually, I found it to be mostly correct.

( My temperment... )

P.S. WE GOT SILVER!! YAY!! NOT AS GOOD AS LAST YEAR, BUT HEY.
P.S.S. Support National Beaver Day.

I made a list (with a little help, and a lot of inside jokes) of things I want to do before I die. Some of them are a little, well, odd. But it's quite entertaining nonetheless.


( 180 Things I Want To Do Before I Die )

Hey guys, or well...whoever reads this. I'm sorry I haven't written anything in a while. It's been kind of hectic here. I haven't been on the internet in more than a month. First Christmas vacation, then I got my wisdom teeth out, and then there was exams.

So I didn't exactly have time to write anything. Plus I didn't know how to do the LJ cut, so I couldn't write anything either. I have this long list, but I don't want to post it all, I just want to be able to have a link. So, if anybody knows how to do it, I would really appreciate them telling me. (I'm new at this)

By the way, I finally have a title for the Journal. The sub title is it's translation. It's from a movie I just watched, Les Choristes. It was actually pretty good, my journal title is actually part of the song "Caresse sur l'ocèan", which is one of many beautiful songs in the movie. Well I better go, it's getting late, and I have another performance tomorrow (Guys and Dolls). Yay! Go orchestra! Go percussionsists!

hi...I'm not sure exactly what to write. I just wanted to write something so I could see how everythings looks. Can't you tell I'm new at this? So...umm...yeah.
