As we speak (er, type), there are extremely good-looking, tanned roofers roofing my house.

They've been here for the past two days.

This is getting difficult >_<.

Anyways! It was my dad's birthday yesterday! I won't tell you how old (er, young) he is now, for safety precautions (for myself). The funny thing is, instead of focusing on him all day, he took me out shopping for clothes. The concept is giving me a hernia thinking about it. And I got a lot of stuff! Favourite buy = Vans gray plaid flats with red and blue stripes, $60.00. Second fave buy = grey and red plaid babydoll shirt, $40.00. And so manies of the cute shirts! I'm pretty satisfied, but every time I wear the new clothes, I feel extremely guilty, but if I don't wear the clothes, I feel just as guilty. Grar! The solution is to not think about how and why I got the clothes, but to just wear them and admire them for their splendiferousity. 

I get to go see Meet the Robinsons tonight with Drew. V. excited about that (only because of the raptor with the "big head, and little arms,"). Kalei wanted everyone to go see TMNT tonight too, so I'm still juggling the options about that. I was going to wear all yellow and be April ^ ^, because all the Turtles were taken. Hopefully they have fun, though, if I don't go. I'll probably even see them there beforehand. 

And Alysen was right. Garage flip flops are abnormally comfortable. And squishy ^ ^.

OH! By the way, for all my avid dance fans out there (which = no one >_<), here's my competition schedule for Abbostford and Burnaby! I don't have the Maple Ridge times yet, but I'm sure they're coming soon!

Alas, I have to go. The roofers are waiting (AHHH! No really, they're not that attractive). I'm away laughing on a fast camel!

PS. Drew, you are a wonderful chauffeur <3.
PPS. LAST PSYCHO SESSION EVER APRIL 11 AT GARIBALDI BE THERE BE THERE BE THERE

I just realized the journal I found and am reading isn't my Aunt's. It's my dad's late first wife's journal. 

I'm reading a dead woman's diary.

I got accepted into the Canadian College of Performing Arts (!).

Damn it. Now I have a choice to make.

Why does this have to be so hard?

I think The Surreal Life has to be the best guilty pleasure in the world. That and What Not to Wear. 

I think I'm going to take a hiatus from drinking for awhile... I never seem to learn. I should've by now; every time I drink at all I get nausea and the spins, but nooo, I just have to keep trying. 

I found my Auntie Julia's journal from 1982. That's when she was in her early twenties. It has all sorts of stories of dad and Grandpa Geoffrey, and Robin, and what kind of things they used to do for fun. It's so wierd, reading how dad used to laugh hysterically at their cat and what they got in their stockings at Christmastime. I think I'm going to read all the way through, because I'm a nosy parker. 

OK, do cats really need wild salmon and fresh greens? Why can't cats just eat normal cat food? My dog doesn't complain about his kibbles, cats shouldn't either.

So now I'm procrastinatig my homework again, but it doesn't matter, because my midterm is over, and I can't really do much about it. I've already read the English novel too. I'm not too worried about it.

I'm going back to my sandwich and muffin. I'm away laughing on a fast camel!

Just when you think you've done something useful with your bloody time...

I just accidentally replaced my completed Dogwood Scholarship application letter with a blank document, because I thought I was opening when I was saving. 

I wasn't even paying attention to what I was doing. 

I hate myself sometimes. 

 - Maddy

PS. WHAT THE FUCK.

Avril's new song is irritatingly catchy.

I hate it when that happens.

I originally didn't like the song, because it wasn't like her at all, but then it was all, "Hey (hey!), you (you!), I don't like your girlfriend!" Stupid hook....

I get to go to Douglas tomorrow for a FIELD TRIP! I love field trips in high school; they come so few and far between that when they come, you'd forge your dead grandmother's signature to go. 

Wow, cheap food does not agree with me. I bought a box of microwave macaroni and cheese and a bag of chips, and now I feel a tummy lurgy coming on. Poo and merde. Stupid dad, making me eat like a healthy person. It's all good, though, because I have peppermint tea ^ ^.

I wish my boyfriend would call when he says he will. It is becoming a pet peeve of mine. Laura is feeling my pain. We are in our little boat of lurve, and up poo creek without a paddle, i.e. going with le flow. Ah well, he says he's gotten me a prezzie from Disneyland, so I forgive him for being so forgetful *sigh*.

Pretty much stoked for my last show on Saturday. Not so stoked for my ballet exam being eleven days earlier than expected. Stoked for wearing green on St. Patrick's day and drinking lotsa beer. Not so stoked for biology mid-term after spring break and failing it. C'est la vie.

I can't keep on one train of thought for more than five minutes. It's been really hard concentrati

So I have competitions coming up in April and May. I don't even have bloody costumes yet, and I'm doing three solos! What the eff did I get myself into?

I'm going to go get some sleep, or at least lie awake for a few hours in bed. Night night chums.

PS. "Hey (hey!), you (you!), I know that you like me! No -
PPS. Goddamnit!

OMG THE PRODUCERRRSSS!!!

Fanbloodytastic! It is so much better live, goddamnit! I had such a good time. Hell to find parking close to the Centre, but after many rigorous laps in the parkade, Drew managed to find a spot on the third level. Yeah! And walking across the street to the Centre wasn't very good to my feet in those heels, but wow, the show was a jaw-dropper. Take Uma Thurman's voice talent, multiply that by a million, then take all the awesomeness of the movie, and multiply that by ten million. Pretty effing rad, must say.

So, this is what Drew and Justin like to do for kicks. I think anyone who can play "Sing Sing Sing," is 90% cooler by me. Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-check it out. GSS MRSS and Westview were bowing down to them by the end of the night. And I don't even go to Thomas Haney!

So my cousin from England is here, and the first time she sees me after four years is onstage. It's pretty cool, walking into the lobby after curtain call and seeing a familiar face that isn't so familiar, if you know what I mean. Problem is, Lauren's having a party Saturday night, which I really wanted to go to, but dad says I can't because Charlotte is here. "What a dilemma!" I don't know if I should press the matter and beg to go, or just tell Lauren I can't make it. This kind of poo-timing always happens to me. Grrr. 

Well, it's already past midnight, and I have to get out to Capilano for some h-core choreography with Shelley, so I must dash. Au revoir, mon petite pallies!
