ANGER

I guess I've been whining too much, because when I said last night that I'm lazy, Mom said, "You're young, you're fit..."

I'm not really looking forward to my birthday as much as I should be. I just feel so depressed, like it's just one more year off my life. I'm in a rut. I can't do much in karate class because of the bone graft in my mouth, I have no job because very little seems to grab me. Although I might apply at Fortino's or the library.

Basically, I have too much time on my hands. If I take art lessons, I'll have to either take lessons at the Dundas Vally School of Art, which is too far away, or the art gallery, which is downtown. If I take acting classes at one of the theatres, I might wind up in the same classes as Erica, which might turn out to be catastrophic on my part.

Mom says that I should just let stuff go. But I can't. I guess I'm still trying to understand why Erica's being like this.

I watched disc one of the Crossroads DVD. I love it. Although I thought that John Mayer made a guitar face that made him look like he wanted to eat his guitar. That, and he was too close to the mic. I think his lips were against it! DON'T KISS THE MIC, MAN!!!! :)

Music Sunday!!!!!

Today was Music Sunday at the Unitarian church. I didn't even realize that it was until I read the order of service. The service leader read a hilarious reading about altos, and how they don't get as much attention as sopranos. I'm probably an alto :p After all, I'm no Freddie Mercury! I always get this great feeling after hearing someone sing in church. I guess it makes me want to practise my keyboard. Sometimes I do practise my keyboard after church, actually. I'd like to sing at a Music Sunday, though. We sung some pretty cool hymns, actually. And the folks who sung in the service were good.

We went to Fortino's after church. Before we left, my mom said that she wanted to go to Fortino's, to which I replied that we'll see people from church! We saw Ann again, but I didn't recognize anyone else. We picked up some chicken pieces, which were pretty good. Mom cut up some cucumber to go with it, and we all washed some cherry tomatoes and pear tomatoes. I think Dad cut up a larger tomato as well, because there's a paring knife on the cutting board where Mom cut up the cucumber, and I think the knife had tomato guts on it.

I have to start my regular homeschooling on Tuesday! The same day we're going to visit my sister! Wow. The summer has just flown by. I guess our trip to see my sister in London Ontario will be a 'field trip'. Sweet :)

Rain and magazines

When we left to go to the Unitarian church, it wasn't too cold. I wore a sleeveless polo-ish top and my navy blue shorts, thinking I'd be okay.

The service was nice, although I really wish I was more awake. The theme was simple living. The music was provided by a cool guy named Tim. The first time I heard him sing was when he sang With a Little Help From My Friends with his wife and another woman in the church, and I'd forgotten how nice his voice sounded. The first song was a Gordon Lightfoot song, and the postlude he picked was a Stephen Stills song, and although I haven't heard the original versions of the songs he sang, I thought he sounded good.

Then when we went out to the car, it was pouring. We had to stop in at Fortino's to get milk. While we were there, we also picked up a Delissio frozen pizza, some chocolate soy milk for me, some bagels for Dad, and ingredients for taboule. We saw Ann, another member of the church, and Mom saw someone else from the church, but I didn't catch a glimpse of him. We saw Ann again when we went to the produce to get parsley and a lemon (we also got a cauliflower, because ours went bad in the fridge), and Mom said, "We keep seeing people from church!" Ann replied, "It's like this every Sunday." Ann was an advisor for the youth group, but she left shortly after adopting a little girl. It's a pity that she couldn't stay on as an advisor, because she communicated well with us.

Near the entrance, we picked up the new Vogue Knitting and an issue of the fall Knit Simple. While the Knit Simple patterns may be boring to some knitters, I quite like the ones in this issue. I always seem to be looking for brainless patterns, anyway.

The parking lot was crazy when we tried to leave. I honestly though someone was going to pull a make-a-parking-spot right in front of us. I guess people turn into idiots when the weather is bad.

I'm tempted to work on my kerchief scarf, but I think my wrists need a rest from cotton. Maybe tomorrow. I'm also tempted to turn that scarf into a little wrap - I think I have enough cotton for it, too! :D
