i think we're going crazy...her left eye is lazy

yesterday was close to death...ok not really...but it was rainy which is like the same thing...

it was shitting rain i swear

went to the PNE with my cousins cause one of my cousins cousins...right...was doing some tap performance so we thought we would all go to see and walk around and stuff...

the PNE is the fair part of Playland - playland has all the rides and is the expensive one - and it has all the crazy cool stuff like the dog show and wicked stuff for sale and the bizzare parade and all that...so here are some pictures of our day...

little brother steven is a parking guy at the pne...he was on the job and we stole him for a picture

the best part of the pne are the barns with all the farm animals...i took lots of pictures...they were SO cute...

laura is the chicken and her brother luke is the pig...

cotton candy...essential to every fair experience...laura and cristina eating the ever popular mini donuts while watching the parade...this ballon in the parade CLEARLY needs some viagra...sarah rose wanted to go into the haunted house so a bunch of us decided to go with her...we went in a group of 6 - each of us with a partner - and i went with laura...and the whole time she just screemed and screemed even when no one was around to scare us...it was pretty hilar...laura sipping her pina colada...could it be any smaller???at one point i phoned my mom and told her to watch the new because we might be on it - they do a live broadcast ever day during the fair - and as luck has it i was on it front and centre looking like a dork!!!simon and laura being attacked by the lionand by the end of the day we were SOAKING...so we went to dinner in our wet wet clothes...simon...elise...francesca...luke


ok now here comes the greatest pictures...CTV - the TV station - had this booth set up where you could get your pictures taken with your favorite CTV shows...you stand infront of this blue screen and act or whatever and they take your picture...so here are a few...

the crew doing the weather...and you cant even see the weather because there are so many of us...look at our great props too!!!i had to take this picture...because matt and i are in love with degrassi the next generation...i took it to make him jealous...there was also one of dr. phil but i didnt end up doing that one...
simon and i with the local weather girl...i took this to be ironic...because she bugs me and i dont like her...ha...simon and i were being gangsta...and i look like shit...ahh how perfect...john deere and cornor gas

MUSIC - Beck - Nicotine & Gravy

i'll be waving my hand, watching you drown, watching you scream...quiet or loud...

tarci finally finished my bike...or so i thought...

i asked him to take it apart and re paint it because it was borderline sketchy...so he did...cept he forgot to paint the handle bars...and the breaks sound like someone is trying to kill a dog...

i hate exercising only because i end up feeling like a compete and utter NERD...with my stupid 'hi i'm exercising' clothes and my gay ass helmet all pimped out in the bike vest i made...i just hate it...

i think that as i ride by people stare and make fun of me...

but inspite of my feelings i went for a ride...i've been so freakin lazy lately so i felt i should...

i went around three blocks and i thought i was going to pass out...i CLEARLY do not exercise regularly...it was retarted...

if i could just ride and ride and know that no one was watching then i would do it all the time...i think i will do it more in the winter because there wont be fruits outside suntanning and staring at people in the streets for no reason...gawd

when i stopped for some water i noticed that dad had put my 'license' plate back on my bike...i got it as a kid...one of those things you get in a cereal box were you have you collect so many isbn numbers or whatever and then send in this form and they make you one...its pretty cute and reminds me of being a kid...but it really just adds to me feeling stupid...

someone come riding with me so i dont feel like a complete dork...PLEASE

MUSIC - Our Lady Peace - Clumsy

i like studying faces in a parking lot cause it doesn't remind me of anything

ahhhhhhhh im frickin bored...

my cousin from the t. was suppost to come over tomorrow but now its wednesday...so i dont know what i should do tomorrow...

SOMEONE ENTERTAIN ME...

MUSIC - Audioslave - Doesn't Remind Me

i am an american aquarium drinker

ahh america... i guess i cant say anything bad about you... since lots of bloggers are from down south... but what i will say is dont you have the coolest selection of rad shoes...

the other day Iman and i went down south with some friends to shop for back to school stuff...not that i really needed anything...but you know...

i was in search of some rather rad vans and cons...and by golly i found them...

the shoe fetish is back people...im warning you...

brown and pink checkered vans to say the least... i was dying at the image of their beauty...two of the greatest colours in one shoe!!!
i also purchased myself some REAL chuck taylors this time...as apose to my old fake ones...i know, how sad...and i bought fat laces for them to really pimp them out...i bought matt brown ones...they were way cool too...
then i found a pair i call my 'hi i skinned a moose' boots...they are rad to the fuzzy max...i am going to wear them in the wilderness...hopefully the moose's (is that what they are called) will know that its fake and not eatith me alive...

we also got some pretty cool outfits and what not...but, as expected when shopping, i found THE tackiest blazer EVER...her worn by julie, was made out of UPHOLSTERY fabric...for the love of god what were you thinking??? julie swore her couch was made of the same fabric...so we took a picture just to make sure...i still can't get over the tackiness of it...dear lord


also went argyle crazy in old navy...i rampaged the place...but who couldn't for such amazing stuff...I MEAN LOOK AT IT...breath taking i tell you!!!

and i guess i'm not the only one buying shoes...looks like chad found himself a really snazzy pair of flip flops...they are GIGANTIC - clearly...oh you lug...what were you thinking??? at least you got them in a rad colour...i'll take you shopping and you will pay for my services with beer...i think we have a deal...

MUSIC - Beck - ....

is she perverted like me...would she go down on you in a theater?

you know when you try and be nice and you invite your parents to an event because you think it will be nice and they might like the experience...but really your totally wrong and the whole thing just pisses you right off and you wantto smack both of them with some sense of adventure!?!?!? yea...i know that feeling...

last night was dear alexis' concert jumble of music evening...and those who were to come with me failed and did not come...my mother showed some interest so i thought it would be nice if she came...since alexis is her niece and all...then tarchi found out about it and decided to come aslo...

now them knowing alexis should have some what expected what this might be like...not your typical eve of music...

so we went down and i had written the address down but for some reason had another address in my head...so i am telling them where it is and we cant find it...driving and driving...so finally dad pulls over and parks and mom says that we will just walk and find it...so she plugs $4 into the meter which gives us only an hour and we walk...

HA...then after 10 minutes of not finding the place smelly pulls out the addy and realizes they are on the wrong street...SUPER...so mom gets pissed that we just wasted 4 bucks...and dad gets all annoyed and smelly is pissed because they are pissed...not good

so we get to the joint and moms all sketched out by the lack of cleanliness and dads annoyed...i dont remember why...i think because of the beer...and smelly - being ms. sensitive when it comes to the parentals - is just annoyed at their lack of acceptance to strange places...

so i find alexis and she is wearing her 'donna summers disco nightmare' dress with sparkly things every where and shes eating her chinese food and talking to us...and there are people everywhere and no ones paying attention to anything, nor do they know whats going on...

alexis and her friend get up on stage and play...but no one is paying attention...moms freakin out because there is a guy with a mohawk sitting behind her..

.alexis was done on the piano and people start to clap which then made everyone else realize that it had started...so they shut up

the people who played were good...except all i could do was sit and stare at the guy infront of me who looked exatly like matt stone...even the hair...


so we were there a total of like an hour and dad wanted to leave ...and i felt like shit because i was there for alexis and her friends but i had to leave with them because smelly had no other way of getting home...

alexis told me today that it was awesome last night and that after i left all the good stuff happened...

and thats what i get...try and be nice to the parentals and they shaft you...i should have just gone by myself...i hate it when you invite someone somewhere and the whole time they just sit there annoyed and you feel like you have to entertain them...gawd...

MUSIC - Alanis Morissette - You Oughta Know

sometimes i feel i got to...run away...i got to...get away...

dad wanted to come with me to get fabric downtown...he wants me to make him a cover for his tool box...its going to be way snazzy...i bought red leatherette and some asain dude was trying to fight me for it...but i bought the whole roll so he got none...shows him whos boss...

black and white pictures always make everything look super snaz...if i took colour pictures these would look really boring...dad was driving and i was shooting...

my dads name is hard to pronounce...well only for non italian speaking peeps...its Tarcisio - but you say the 'ci' like 'chi'...so its said tarCHIsio...if that makes any sense...i call him tarch or tarchi instead of dad...its more classy...

my moms name is Emanuela...just the way it sounds...i call her Eman...you know after the modle - david bowies wife...Iman...just spelled differently...our parentals gave us simple names becuase no one knew how to say theirs when they grew up...except people think my name is daniel and not danielle....

tonight i am going to alexis' concert at the marine club...i was suppost to put an ad for it on here but no one who reads this blog lives here...but if your interested click HERE and scroll down until you see the bizzare poster...word

MUSIC - Soft Cell - Tainted Love (its going to be alexis' wedding song)

i'll paint the words a simple wish...from peace of mind and happiness...

i am in love...

i have found the one i am meant to be with...

i went shopping with matt yesterday and saw the love of my life...just sitting there...not paying attention to anyone or anything...just fuzzy, and pink, and plaid...i clutched my heart and gasped at the beauty....

all i have to pay is $150 and those amazing burberry ear muffs are mine...

they looked so delicate upon my flowing locks covering my dainty ears...

and for $225 why not also get the matching cashmere fringe scraf...orgasmic....i am so in love with burberry ...

matt went to value village and found so much stuff...including Pringle of Scotland sweaters AND a Burberry shirt....SO jealous...its the fashionist in me...

a few photos from our day...

downtown...where else would us class act people shop???

matt and i dressed classy as to make all the people think we were rich when we went into the expensive store...matt wanted to pose like he was a nerd...i'm a perv...get use to it...notice the fake burberry purse i am using - purchesed that baby in new york...i love it to death...i bought earings and music....sooo good...and yes i had to endulge myslef with some bruce cockburn...NERD ALERT - also on the list...Beck, Grandaddy, Oasis...and the free Seeds CDahhh good tunage for the road...matthew good...

MUSIC - Grandaddy - El Cominos in the West

super...super...supervisor guy turns off the factory lights

oh star wars...you gave us such a crazy crazy night...

all started out good ...went to the local supermarket and picked up a good portion of bulk candy and salsa - movie musts - then what would turn out to be not enough alcoholic beverages...and popped in the first star wars pretty early (i should make it clear that we watched 4,5,6 - my cousins do not support the first three)...i remembered a bit about from it but not much and alexis had to constantly explain it to me because i was NOT paying attention...

the first movie went on pretty smoothly...i - knowing nothing mind you - told alexis that i thought leia should seduce darth...she laughed her head off...well whatever...i would have seduced him...

emily came home in time for the second one and suggested a star wars drinking game since we had all the booze...we were down...so she went on the net and found us a nifty game with antics such as...

Drink when:

- someone has a bad feeling about this
- it's their only hope
- luke whines
- people kiss
- leia insults someone
- han brags about the millennium falcon
- twice if its in hyper drive

jake and i also had a beer chugging contest which was really not smart...because we had eaten so much crap...and then drinking beer fast...dear god that was really really gross...


then emily's other half and his brother came over and watched it...i was half passed out on the floor so i dont remember much of the movie...i was also getting bored so i figured i would stick things up jakes shorts...then he grabbed a handful of gummies and stuck it down my shirt...so i grab a hand full and put them in his pants...we were both on the floor hysterical for like and hour...we were smacking eachother with an empty pop bottle...
after the movie we were too drunk and tired to watch the third one so we put that off until the next morning...jake and peeps played the piano and sang really really loudly...alexis and i comp'ed it up...we were cooler...

then peeps left and alexis went to bed so jake, kari, and i went on my msn and talked to people...mikey was up so we webcamed with him...and then voiced it up...we sang but he didn't...well except for the sponge bob songs...ehh...then we sent him lots of pictures of jake so hes going to blog about him soon...HE BETTER...

mikey left at about quarter to 4 - his time - so we went to bed...well more like we all passed out in his parents room because it was right there...we woke up at 7:30 ish because jake had to go pee...and so we stayed up...and boy did we feel gross...that was kinda the theme this weekend...

alexis got up shortly their after and we all showered - together - NOT...gross...geezz...alexis made tea and we cleaned up our big mess...

eventually we got our acts together and sat down for the final star wars movie...because that was the point of the weekend, although it seemed that we almost forgot that point...and aside from alexis' critizim of like every scene...i have to admit...that i actually enjoyed them...like i would like to watch them again by myself with out alcohol and people talking every five seconds just so that i can know whats going on more...but you know...it wasn't all that bad...final say - hans solo is SO HOT, and luke is the biggest dork ever...but i would rather do him then the emperor...unlike alexis

after that we went to the mall to visit kari at work - she left earlier - and we ate sandwiches...they were good...

alexis and i drove into town and i went home...and i thought it would only be proper if i sat down and watched spaceballs...so i did...the perfect ending...

more pictures you say??? - here you go

p.s. photo albums on the side are being set up properly...for your easy access into my life

MUSIC - Grandaddy - Stray Dog and the Chocolate Shake (it was really really stuck in our heads)

even if you think I'm crazy, drunk, and stoned...i don't wanna be messed up alone

and how...

yes so the FOX concert last night was interesting...alexis and her friends were meeting me on the skytrain...except the train was broken...so they took a while...

once we got down town we went for dollar a slice pizza...which of course was soooo good...

ummmm pizza...we figured we'd eat there because we thought that the Commodore food would be righteous expensive...

however...when we got to the commodore and saw the food menus, it was actually well priced! we were surprised, so alexis and i split a cajun chicken burger and ceaser salad...omg it was drool worthy...

although the pizza place sells you a huge slice of pizza, the place itself is pretty sketchy...and sketchy is how i like my restaurant... it had rad video games in the back...

ahhh...finally at the show...we grabbed some couches in the upper back section...we couldn't really see anything but at least we were comfortable...except for the stench that came out of one of the couched...it was smelly

yea...i dont know what happened here...

some big older mocho somewhat hot (only by my standards) guys came and sat on the couches by us...then one guy stood up and unscrewed the light blub so that the corner we were in was pitch black from the rest of the place...not that there really was any light in their...but still

wow...look at all the people in front of us...yea...

so this is me and alexis listing to bands....

and ten minutes later...look who has fallen asleep...at a rock concert for that matter...

my attempt to take pictures of the bands from far away and in darknes...

the bands included...faber, the left, the turn, art of dying, and rally car...
with special guests - the trews

faber won the battle of the bands and got some recording deal-o or something...

the trews were the only good band there...but then again they were the only REAL band there

we got a free cd on the way out that had all the bands on there and some specail shows from the fox...it was pretty rad...13 bucks for a show and a free cd...

it was a late night...especially with work the next day...but damn it was fun...and way better then school!!!!

MUSIC - The Trews - Not Ready To Go

you've gotta give for what you take

i think i must be the only 20 year old who hasn't seen these movies...honestly i have never really wanted too...except for princess laya and the infamous gold bikini...

i have seen parts of the first, and parts of the third but never seen them all in their entierty...

i figured that it would be good if i saw them all one day so when people are talking about them i would know what the heck is going on...and when i watch spaceballs i will get half the jokes...

this weekend alexis' parents are away so we are having another movie weekend...there are 6 of us who are all going to party it and watch all three star wars in one night...you better believe we are pulling an all nighter!!

another late night trip to save on foods to stock up on junk food...going to booze it up a little so that star wars is a little more interetsing then it seems to be - i am clearly not a sci-fi fan - and spending the rest of the night - if there is any left - gossiping about people we know...

tonight my 'thank god school is over' party starts...alexis got tickets to the commodore for the FOX's Seed Party - pretty much battle of the bands - and i hear that the lead singer of Nickleback is going to be there...IM SO EXCITED!!! not really...i cant stand them...

ah well it should be an interesting night...and pictures will be taken of course...

thursday night concert, friday night movie, a saturday filled with hangovers and attempts at sewing...and a sunday filled with shopping downtown and fancy dinners with my fake boyfriend...i can't wait!

MUSIC - George Michaels - Freedom '90

all that shit you do, it'll catch up with you

and finally....it is all over!

tonight's events were like a scene right out of a movie...

i spent the majority of the day in an 'i just don't give a shit' attitude and did less then approved studying...i laid in bed, painted my toe nails the colour of your cold black heart (not really, just always wanted to say that), and forced myself to read one chapter...

as time grew closer to me leaving the house my poor ass attitude gave way to some fear...what if i really should have studied and now will do bad on this test???

i hopped on the bus, down in the dumps...hair pulled back in a tight bun, jacket zipped up, glasses on...sounds of radioheads ok computer ringing through my head...really that didn't help in making me feel better but rather added to the stress and depression...

i wait in the hall...its like 4000 degrees in there...waiting for my doom of 81 multiple choice - sounds easy but she likes to test you on the crap she didn't teach you but is apparently somewhere in the textbook where you didn't read...


i get the test and i go at it...i actually know a lot of the answers on it...SURPRISINGLY!!!! this is retarded...i'm almost done and the people around me are like half way...i wait for others to hand in their test first and then i do...

i leave the room feeling like a million bucks (and watch how shitty i feel when i get the results back and really i did not do so well)

i practically skip out of the building...take off my jacket, let my hair down as it blows all sexy in the wind, stick on my hot sunglasses, and grove to some rad limblifter...i was floating...practically skipping to the bus stop...dear god

i am such a dork


MUSIC - Limblifter - Perfect Day To Disappear

wind me up, put me down, start me off and watch me go...

it took like seven years for the damn pictures to up load...gezzz...at least they are rad...i was bored and it was hot and i couldn't sleep...i was also being consumed by moskitos at the time...damn bugs...i have like 20 bites on my legs...and i think i have one on the tip of my nose...bastards

i actually went to work today...haha...but only for 4 hours...it was pretty lame...some guys where in auditing the cafe shops and they were kind of creepy...they kept wispering to echother in these fruit filled accents...bizzare...they creeped me out - out wait i already said that...i ignored them

i have to study...gawd its been the story of my life...whatever, one more final and then its all over...for now...mother fruit cakes...you know when you have so much to do but you keep putting it off and then you get mad at yourself for putting it off...yea thats where im at
im starting to panic

i want it to rain...there has been enough sun and a nice day of rain would be much appriciated...yea rain can be depressing and all...but on a day where i get to spend the entire time studing it would actually help out and not make me insainly jealous of the sunniness outside...i love good hair days...

MUSIC - Caesars Palace - Jerk It Out

damnit...be joyful already

shizzle... last night was the family picnic... I KNOW ... overload of family stuff laitly eh...don't worry it's like the one time of year where its family over abundance...

it started out typically...little children against the big ones...this year - water fight - i however was not involved...i dont do water...when i am clothed anyways...a bunch of us put our chairs in a circle and we were home base - we stole water balloons and placed them in the centre as to show the children that we were greater then them...emily stuck hers in the ice box to get it nice and cold and steven reverted to cups full of ice and water...needless to say the children were fearful...

james was all excited because he bought these shoes that were so expensive that they came in a glass case...we laughed at him...who the fruit buys shoes that come in a glass case??? james does thats who...so sad...but they were what i figured - lacoste - thats why they were so expensive and came in a glass case...

my mother got mad at me b/c i took so many pictures of jake at manning...so lastnight i didn't...i brodened my horizons...and took pictures of cousins other then jake...such as myslef

we decided that even though zio paul is married we were going to put pictures of him on singles.com to see how many hits he would get...we thought this picture was best...zio paul...what a stud...

decided to wear my limblifter shirt...and people were impress...then low and behold look who shows up in the same shirt...i swear...it was not planned...ha..ha....

then elise thought it would be funny to take pictures of me when i wasn't looking...shes so cleaver...NOT...shes a dork and she knows that...

ok...time for randomosity....







Photo Album - Family Picnic...hot picturettes i promise...

MUSIC - Matthew Good - Oh Be Joyful

since then i am a waste

one of my favorite parts about the trip to manning is the drive up there...not only do we get to pass through cities we only see once a year, but the moutains and forests that surround us are absolutely amazing...

every time we go up it always stirs my love of the out doors and the mountains...it makes me want to be an environmentalist and go and hug trees...i know bruce cockburn would be proud...

now usually i use manning as a time to do what i love best...lying in bed and doing absolutely NOTHING...everyone always makes fun of me because they know that i rarely leave my room during those four days...and they always make it such a big deal when i do...

saturday night david promised us that if we got up early and went hiking with him he would throw us a big drunk fest that night since it was our last...we all agreed but it was skeptical as to who was actually going to show up...

alexis and i went to bed early because we actually wanted to go and we didn't want to let david down...so the next morning just before 8 jake came and woke us up...it turned out that out of all of us only me, alexis, jake, becky, and uncle paul were going to head out on this journey...since it was concert t-shirt weekend i thought i would be perfect to wear my bruce cockburn one...everyone was quite impressed

manning has four main lakes...Lightning, strike, flash, and thunder...so we decided to walk around the first three...we saw deer and sang all the songs we knew off by heart...we acted like goofs, recited lines from famous movies and took in all the beautiful scenery - unlce paul posed as our tour guide...
once we got to the third lake we stopped and had lunch...becky took off her shoes and went for a dip and the boys attempted to skip rocks...jake was pretty good at it...then jake and i attempted to remember all the terms we learned from geography 12...but all we could remember was circe and soil creep...so we just kept pointing out those two things as to sounds really smart...but we made a pack that eventually we would go back to school and re-learn geography...and im going to go back to my highschool to steal the textbooks - i have easy access there...

after the hike we went to lightning lake where steve came and him and jake when kiaking (sp?)...i attempted to study but instead took pictures of the beautiful lake...and slept in the sun...

unfortuently by the time we got home we were so tired...that we ended up going to bed early...and didn't have our drunk fest...but not to worry!! tomorrow is the family picnic so we will make up for it there - and all those who i newly adopted...make sure you come too!

MUSIC - Matthew Good - In A World Called Catastrophe
