PROMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM ahahah! lol
Prom was definitely pretty awesome, I didn't really think it would be since so many people said it was like wicket boring and what not, but meh I had an awesome time!! the last people dancing were like me david stephen and tara lol ahaha good times :)

Safe Grad was also lots of fun (well I thought so anyway) but I'm slightly pissed I didn't know there was more stuff to do!! damn itt!! but anyway, still was pretty great. I loved the casino, I got right into it lol me, tara, and david playing blackjack with dougie was hilarious lol. I also really enjoyed the blow up tunnel, in which tyler, becca, tara, and I for the most part just through disks at each other lol ahah that was awesome, it like made my night <3

ohh myyy..so, now I've almost reached the end of my high school experience..freakyyy...I'm pretty terrified for the graduation, theres a practice tomorrow, oh my.

At the moment, I'm trying very hard to get up and get ready for amanda's grad party..it's very difficult to move at all when you're veryy veryy tired though :\

as fast as molasses on a coldd dayy.

oh me oh my. I do believe it has been about a century since I have updated. Haha, for some reason I find it incredibley difficult to log into lj (actually not even that, cuz I read everyone else's posts) and inform the world (well you guys at least <3) of my ever so exciting life...haha, I think I've just discovered the REAL reason as to why I don't update lol cuz I'm not that exciting at all...in the least. But alas, I felt I needed to send out some message into the void. So here I am void, get ready.

I am having an extremely hard time believing that I am actually graduating from highschool, like I don' t think the truth has actually sunk in yet. In the back of my mind, my brain keeps saying, don't worry, next year will be like all the others, and you'll get to hear wendall's "skippers" speech, and watch colin campbell figure out the rubix cube in under 2 minutes, don't worry, you're not graduating, this is all just a hallucination, if you will, of sorts. Like my worst night mare come true......I am not ready for the real world yet wendall!!! I'm just not! there's no way!!

and everyone leaving!! I mean, this is crazy! true I'll still have some of you guys around here, but as for the others, it'll be so weird!! It'll be like a piece of me is always missing :( ...I don't really ever like change, and I know I'm not gunna like this at all. Anyway, not much else could make me feel more older right now except my young-still-in-highschool-boyfriend. Good one jonathan, good one

Pure Nerd
65 % Nerd, 26% Geek, 17% Dork

For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in Nerd, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd.

The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendences associated with the "dork." No-longer. Being smart isn't as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful.

Congratulations!

Also, you might want to check out some of my other tests if you're interested in any of the following:

*Does a little dance* NO SCHOOL NO SCHOOL NO SCHOOL NO SCHOOL!!!!!

...ahem..just had to get that outta my system :) today I slept in 'til 11:30..oh my it was sooo wonderful lol and then I lazed around for awhile, started on my Christmas wishlist for my parents, and then got ready to go dress shopping..yay!!..I must admit, it is quite fun. What's really amusing is when I try on a really pouffy dress and then when I take it off, it stands up on the floor by itself..lol it's funny..

..So far, the really pretty yellow one I tried on thats reallyyy expensive, and the pretty pink one I tried on in Dartmouth are possibilities..

I can not WAIITT until the precal midterm is over..DEAD SEA guys, I'm gunna throw a party for myself this weekend when I don't have to study that anymore!!! :)

clockish_freak @ 2006-11-10T23:53:00

2006-11-11T03:53:37Z

At the moment, I am listening to Christmas music, and somewhere Sam is squeeing and dancing in circles..haha..tonight was pretty good..me and the 2 leo-tards (Sam and Tyler) went out for Chinese food/Mallin/Drivin'...it was fun..I kept roaring..like DEAD SEA guys I think someone friggen spiked my pop at the Chinese place...I roared at EVERYTHING. It was a pretty awesome night...I'm crazy into the Christmas spirit tonight too..oh my..this week has gone by pretty slow, I'm just super pumped it's finnnallllyyyyy the weekend!! yay!!

Tomorrow shall consist of my studying precal/perhaps cleaning and what not since I don't have work cuz of Rememberance Day..ahhh I am sooo Tired!!!

I am so Jon today lol

2006-10-17T20:16:54Z

Oh my. Today started off good and all, then got a tad frustrating and what not but I guess there is not much to be done about that. I just don't know how some people do it. How they manage to be in everything imaginable, but still have top marks and have time to breathe. That's crazy. I don't think I could do all that.

I'm being really obsessed and I reallyyy need to stop because it's driving me crazy. I'm obsessed with trying to be the best and it's definitely not getting me anywhere..I need to slowww 'er down. Okay. Slowwwww 'er down mel, slowwwww 'er down. Breathe mel breathe...

and yes, I am talking to myself, that definitely isn't good.

So, in happier news, I had part one of the physics test today..I think I did really good, it's the most confident I've felt about a test so far this year..

clockish_freak @ 2006-10-07T21:12:00

2006-10-07T21:20:49Z

ahhhh. Oh my. Update. Friday was just plain scary as I had a pre-cal test..yeah..enough said basically..it was very frightening..Sam, Becca, Katie, Tara, and everyone else in the class knows what I'm talking about..

Last night Stephen and I went to Sam's to watch horror movies muah..I was quite disappointed with Silent Hill, I thought it would be wayy scarier..but the other movie we got, Boo, was actually pretty good..it was hilarious but scary at the same time..I loved the hot guy and the black detective dude.."In my day, when we shot someone, they stayed dead!!!" lol he was awesomee..

I just got off work a little while ago, and I have no idea what's up for tonight..Tyler was talking about shopping?!?!? but who knows..I feel sooo lazy and I'm freezing right now..what a beautiful fall day today was though!! Oh I wish I could have properly enjoyed it by dancing outside or something..but alas..I had work..at least I got paiddd ahhh moola moola moola!! lol anyway I should end this before I get too crazy...

clockish_freak @ 2006-10-01T12:34:00

2006-10-01T15:45:27Z

Oh my. So I just got back from the "Run for the Cure" it was awesome, as always..I went in with Tyler, Sam, and Mike in Tyler's awesomely pimpin' truck lol I've never been in it before, and I quite enjoyed the experience. So, now I feel stuffed from the food at Wendy's (yum yum), tired from racing Stephen, and happy that I'm not working today (thank god) :) lol.

Quite a bit has happened in the last few days..today is the 1st of October everybody!! yay fall!!!! I do love the fall :) the leaves have begun to change and it is very beautiful..I have the urge to go for a drive in the country at the moment because it's just so pretty and (once again) I'm not working!! :) yipee!

So..I shall not use names..but I have come to realize, someone turned out to be a different kind of person than I thought they were..I thought they were the kind of person I could love, but quickly realized this was misleading and last night basically confirmed my thoughts. It's definitely a tad disappointing but what can you do? It happens..just gotta move on.

So I'm hoping I get a call from Sam in the near future..I don't want to look at precal!!! :(:(:(:(

2006-09-28T00:52:16Z

Okay. I'm slightly thinking out loud here, so don't get scared. I've had a time to reflect of sorts, and I just came to a weird conclusion. I've been thinking about everything from school and beyond, and I realized something. Does anything we ever do get us ahead in life? In the long run, are we constantly going in circles? Everyone's trying to save their ass, never caring about anyone else, doing anything to get ahead of the rest...

Here's another thinker...is grade 12 a time to celebrate, or just another pain in the ass? At the moment, I'm convinced it's the latter..there is an insane amount of pressure in grade 12..I think I've figured it out...the celebration is not one of graduating, it's of relief...a party for you because "you made it through".

Followers are the most annoying people I know. They tag along after everyone else, the kind of people that when asked if they'd jump off of a cliff after everyone else would reply "but of course, what's wrong with that? everyone else did it"...they definitely aren't getting ahead of anyone else...they just keep following..

I wish more people were genuine. Honestly genuine. The people that you can trust not to blab everything to the world. We need more of them. It's just exhausting and pointless to tell all your life's secrets to someone who's gunna tell it all to everyone else..I just don't understand it.

And finally, I wish I was a risk taker. I've said it before, and I'll say it again..they've gotta have more fun than the rest of us..they don't worry about being rejected or about what waits around the corner for them, they just go for it..I wish I could.

I want to laugh, I want to cry..but mostly, I just want to go back in time.

2006-09-26T20:26:09Z

oh my. New in the life of me..well at the moment I'm super tired and I desperately wish I could take a nap, but I have to study for my french test which is tomorrow..meh..I hope I do okay..I'm not really all that great with the stuff we're working on. Oh my.

Today we had interact, and mostly talked about the run for the cure..I can't wait!! :) it's gunna be awesome :)
Tomorrow I have a yearbook meeting..let the brain storming begin!

So my mom just started asking me about prom dresses..we had been planning to go to New Brunswick originally in October, where we would be staying with my relatives..but now I'm not sure if that's going on..so she asked me where I want to get my dress..ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. This is getting scary guys. What's even scarier though is..oh gosh I don't even wanna talk about it.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

~<3 I want you on my team.

...So tomorrow is Friday!! TGIF!!! It seems like the week just flew by!! I can't wait to chill out for a couples days..hopefully tomorrow we will be having a movie night? I hope, and on Saturday I believe we are doing a mall shot..good goodness I can't wait..

2006-09-13T20:02:34Z

oh me oh my...So it's only the third day of school and already the pre-cal is making my mind numb..am I the only one? There was just this one question he wanted us to do for homework and I stared at it for probably..close to an hour..I just couldn't think! My mind took a vacation today or something...

English is just like bleh because there's freaking 37 people in the class!!! :O Although I must say the double today was interesting with "gus" the mouse running around...but that was about it..

Physics looks pretty cool so far..we got a formula and learned about "half-life" today..seems like it'll be good..I understood how to get the answers and what not..

French..well...hmmmm...I'm not very pleased with the odd project we were given, but I guess it's a little interesting? ahhh I suppose it's a tad interesting..the new french teacher seems...nice...I suppose..

...I'm getting a headache :(

clockish_freak @ 2006-09-09T23:43:00

2006-09-10T02:52:53Z

So I just got back from Stephen's party...YAY FOR PARTY FUNNESS!!!! lol It was so nice to see everyone for what might be the last time before school!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I am scared to death to go back to school! I don't know how well I'm going to do in everything and I'm going insane!! ahhhhhhhh but...

anyway back to party talk...which is happy...unlike..SCHOOL!!!!!

So we camped out infront of the bonfire (not to be mistaken for bombfire) and we toasted hotdogs and marshmallows..tasty indeed...I ate wayy too much..then off for a random chocolate run with tyler..muah and then our promiscuous duet lol..inbetween all this craziness..I knocked over Sam's pop and then cursed my toe which became sticky..and then got stepped on by everyone..ow..

then there was random poses with the cameras..muah I'm soo printing those pics off..anyway..that's bout it for now...

------I want you on my team.

MY FRIENDS ARE FREAKING INSANE!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. So tonight, I went out driving with Sam, Becca, Stephen, Tyler, and Katie...it was fun and what not cruising around and yelling "GENTLEMEN!!!" while doing Glace Bay shots..I must admit, the jokes were getting a tad annoying though, but then they did the most unthinkable thing ever!! So unthinkable, in fact, that I do not have the heart to write it here. Let me just say, I had good reason to scream!! And apparently I screamed like an amazon ...shortly after, "Mel's Angels" was formed in which they are all apparently angels (haha good one), ahhhh!!!..all the bad jokes are hurting my head now!! lol ahhh it was however, a good night out...I do love you guys, but right now I don't have to like you all!!!!

ahhh so yesterday was awesome..went to the mall at 4 with tyler, sam, and stephen..first we went to wendys (yum) then the mayflower mall, then walmart, then zellers (perhaps not in that order) stephen, sam and I tried out perfume in walmart..I bet we smelled like ass when we got outta there lol. At zellers, sam was determined to get a cute toy from the crane machine..she ended up with 4 toys because the first 3 weren't pretty..haha that bee toy thing was just plain scary!!..I bought makeup..go me!! lol..needless to say, I was super tired lol then we went driving through the pier and played "ridin' dirty" ahhh I love that song!! lol Then to tyler's house for watching "Wedding Crashers" it was a very fun night indeed.

Which freaky subway person is Melissa?

The guy sits down beside you, farts, sniffs around, glares at you and then leaves.

'Which freaky subway person are you?' at QuizGalaxy.com

...that was random..but anyway lol Today I was on the deck most of the day/ in pool..and it's scary how completely drained I am right now..This morning I had a doctor's appointment and used it as an opportunity to go to staples for a bit and get some school supplies..yes I'm cool, I know lol So I got a few binders, pens, pencils, and some other junk which I will probably promise myself not to mess up right away, but most likely won't last all that long. Ahh..that's about it.

clockish_freak @ 2006-08-14T20:52:00

2006-08-15T00:06:49Z

muahahahhahaha I HAVE RETURNED, EVERYONE!!! lol yes, I got home last night after 2 days straight of some hardcore shopping..sooo much fun..of course I still need to get all my school supplies...but I am now good in the clothes department..ahhhh how scary it is that August is almost over now O_o *shivers* I don't even wanna think about September..

On another note, has anyone noticed how crappy the weather has been lately? it's freezing out!! I think the swimming days have come to an end!! what a terrible summer though, we only got like July for a few days that were super hot..but anyway I should stop ranting about the weather..

I also have to get those courses figured out..oh there I go talking about school again!! agggghhhhh!!!

clockish_freak @ 2006-08-10T19:28:00

2006-08-10T22:40:47Z

wuahaha. As we speak, I am sitting in Sackville New Brunswick updating my lj...YESSSS!!! lol it's so nice just to get away, and I love going for drives so it was really fun just to get to see new stuff and what not..tomorrow I believe I am going shopping! ~ damn straight! haha and then we're either coming back on Sunday or Monday..so yes, I am content at the moment :)

Yesterday I finally got out to go dress shopping with Sam, Katie, and Stephen although there wasn't a whole lot of anything pretty left..all that was there were some scary neon color type dresses with ugly sequins alll over them :P so that was disappointing but meh I guess it's to be expected..the new line hasn't come out yet after all..

Then we (as in the people listed above) went for a drive which was fun..CAR!!! *waves* lol good times guys good times..anyway so this is the end for now, I must attend to some business..

clockish_freak @ 2006-08-07T11:12:00

2006-08-07T14:22:50Z

ahaha. Last night I went with Sam, Tommy, Wendy, Katie, and Stephen to see the parade for action week on George St. ....it was fun! Even though there weren't that many guys worth giving "the eye" to lol Except for the guy in the car next to us with fake hair that is..he was beautiful..indeed...But those are the kind of men that Wendy likes so I better back off lol fun fun..anyway ~~today~~ tomorrow I believe I am going dress shopping..a tad early I know, but basically just to look and see the styles and colors..it shall be fun!! I'm all girly just thinking about it!! lol

Awesome summer afternoon!!!:):)

2006-08-03T21:59:10Z

So I just got back from swimming at Meaghan's..very fun :) aside from the "Mel's face" jokes (which I have actually started to get used to) and I noticed now everyone joins in on the "Mel's face" jokes except for Sam..thank you for sticking up for my face Sam! lol ahh but yes it was a good day..I probably got burnt a little but it was worth it...melting popsicles, hot sun, freezing pool, crazy people..I do love the summer after all :)

Also I went driving with Sam, Katie, and Stephen tonight..fun fun!! everyone must yield to the Sam!!! haha
