We didn't have that many kids coming to our street this year. Oh well, more fruit candies for us! :)
Happy Halloween :)

I think I'm getting sick.
I've been drinking a lot of water today - at first I thought it was because I've been eating a lot of salt lately, but I feel tired too, and, well, let's just say that my nose is full of pretty colours. If this continues, I'm not going to youth group tonight, because not only will I get other people sick, I might fall asleep partway through the meeting.
I read my library book for a bit, then I knit, then I tried to sleep but couldn't so I came up here and fired up my computer. I watched InuYasha on Youtube, checked my e-mail, went on Ravelry, and now I'm writing this and I'm still on Ravelry. But I'm exhausted. Then again, I am a bit warm wearing this bathrobe...

I did do some schoolwork, but not much.
Here's one of the songs I listened to via YouTube today. Because my music collection is lacking, I've been listening to my favourite songs through YouTube.

A bit of a recap.
First, Saturday.
I didn't do much on Saturday, actually, but I did watch Saturday Night Live because Coldplay was on. I wasn't going to watch it at first, but then I decided to bring the yellow scarf I was working on upstairs and knit while watching it. Good thing I came up, or I might have missed Coldplay. They sang 'Viva la Vida', 'Lost!', and 'Yellow', and they started another song as they were gonna roll the credits, but it got cut off. Dammit.
So anyway, I sat through the sketches and stuff because I only really wanted to see Coldplay. They were awesome. I had never seen Chris Martin play a guitar until that night, come to think of it. I watched a Coldplay concert (the concert had been from a few months previous, I think) on Bell's pay-per-view FreeVu! thing. A FreeVu! pretty much explains itself. It's free. It's awesome. But during that concert, I don't think Chris Martin ever played a guitar. Also, Amy Poehler gave birth that night! Congratulations, Amy! :)
On Sunday, we went to another NaNoWriMo meetup. This one was downtown, and it was the kick-off party. We each got a goody bag - mine was missing the notes/novel pocketguide, but Mom kindly gave me hers. Thanks, Mom :) The bags also contained some stationary, chocolate (!!!) and an 'affidavit'.
Today I went to a local mall with my parents. There was construction going on, so a lot of people were slowing down to look at the pretty orange signs :p Dad was driving like a jerk, but what else is new? Mom actually threatened to get out of the car. And then, when we got in the mall, Mom turned around with her envelope in her hand - she had to mail something via the Canada Post counter at the Shopper's Drug Mart - to ask Dad something, and he just took the envelope and went into Shopper's. Mom was angry about that, because all she wanted to do was to ask him if he wanted to go do the banking while she mailed her stuff. So Dad came back and Mom made it clear that she was ticked with him. He went to do the banking, and Mom and I looked at some stuff in a nearby store. There's quite a few small businesses in this mall, and they have some interesting merchandise, so we sometimes look at what they have.
Next, we went to the Wal-Mart in this mall, because I needed socks (I know I should knit some, but I have to finish Justin's scarf). I wound up getting 20 pairs of socks - 10 white, 10 black. So Mom thinks I should keep five of each colour in my dresser and put the rest in my wardrobe, so that I have backup socks after I wear out the first 10. We also got some chocolate for when we start writing our NaNo novels. I wanted to look at yarn while we were there, but it was busy so I didn't bother asking Mom if we could look at yarn. I really don't like how that Wal-Mart is organised. Plus, people can be rather pushy - someone with earbuds in their ears decided to push past me in one of the aisles.
Our next stop was No Frills, which is a grocery store chain for anyone who doesn't know. Mom wanted to get stuff like baking powder and refried beans, and we wound up getting other stuff like tinned flakes of chicken.
The last stop in our shopping adventure was Value Village. I found three pairs of jeans that fit me, a pair of orange flowery lounge pants, a pair of purple pants with white flowers on them (they remind me of those pants that the Japanese wear for working in the garden), a pair of maroon pants and a pair of white pants with buttons on the cuffs! How awesome is that? So now I have jeans. Now I just need to get rid of my ugly track pants...

Peculiar Saturday
Very peculiar indeed. I didn't wake up until 11-ish, and I didn't come upstairs until noon-ish.
Yesterday I got a tiny cut on my finger. I think I had tried to move the kitchen faucet, and there's a little raised bit on the faucet that got my finger. Ouch.
Also yesterday, I did a lot of laundry. I washed not only clothes but also bedding and my pillow. Mom and I had a huge fight over the pillow because I washed it on it's own and it didn't drain properly, so it was dripping when I took it out. Mom assumed I was putting it in with other stuff. So she decided to put it in on the final spin cycle. Grr.
It got really fluffy, though! :)
Did I mention that YouTube is working now? It was being weird because they were doing updates. The strangest thing, though, is that Dad didn't have any trouble with YouTube. Huh.
So, I'm really enjoying We're Going to See The Beatles!. I've taken a break from A Freewheelin' Time, because it's a bit of a difficult read sometimes. I really haven't been reading much fiction, actually. I reserved New Moon, though. I hope it's better than Twilight.
That reminds me, I made another avatar that mocks Edward Cullen! It reads: "My dog demon is hotter than your VAMPIRE!!!" I would've included a photo of Sesshomaru, but I can't figure out how to use Photoshop :p
I think I'll go watch InuYasha on YouTube :)

101 things about me
...Okay, so I borrowed this list idea from Sarah :p It's one more list that has blog-hopped!
Here's a list of things about me, some of which you might know, some of which you might not know.
1. When I was a little kid, I had to have a baby tooth removed because it was abscessed, or something like that.
2. Also when I was little, we used to go to the same Swiss Chalet location, every time. It was next to The Keg, and I think there's a car dealership on the other side. The Swiss Chalet that was there is gone now, and there's a Turtle Jack's there. I don't like Turtle Jack's myself... too noisy.
3. When we went to that Swiss Chalet location, I would eat the parsley garnish off my plate, and I almost always got a kids' Shirley Temple to drink.
4. While all the InuYasha fan-girls probably find InuYasha and Miroku cute, I actually prefer InuYasha's grumpy half-brother, Sesshomaru :p
5. As long as I can remember, we've always had a dog.
6. The farthest I've traveled was to Buffalo.
7. I used to daydream about going on a roadtrip with my friends, even though I don't have my license yet. I would still like to go on a roadtrip, actually. I just wouldn't take Erica. I'd probably take Holly, Max, and maybe Micaela and Riley. And Victoria if she can. And maybe my cousins Justin and Breanne. Wow, that's a lot of people!
8. I've been homeschooled since I was six.
9. I was one of the few girls in my year at Brownies who wore the brown uniform dress. Most of the other girls wore the t-shirt and pants or the sweatshirt and sweatpants.
...I'll finish this list later :p

10. When we go to this awesome seafood restaurant, I usually eat the lemon slice that comes with the seafood. I usually order either calamari or clamstrips, and an iced tea.
11. I hate polynomials.
12. I didn't complete Girl Guides. The group I was in was so small, and the badge work wasn't organised well, so my mom decided that I wasn't going back for my second year.
13. I'm actually considering joining one of the Senior Branches in Guiding.
14. I went fencing with the youth group once, back when Max was still coming. During the fencing lesson, Glynis and I had to sit and watch two other people fencing, and we talked about clothes. I told her about my black t-shirt mysteriously disappearing.
15. I used to have a necklace which had a metal dragon wrapped around a marble, but I had to give it to my brother. It had been in my sister's stuff, and when she left, I was wearing it, and my brother claimed it was his. I later bought a similar necklace, though.
16. I've blown out my left speaker :p
17. I have the first book in the Song of the Lioness Quartet, the Immortals Quartet, the Protector of the Small series and the Circle of Magic series, all by Tamora Pierce.
...I'll finish this list later :p

Time for some awesomeness, people :)
1. YouTube is liking me again. It turns out that they were doing updates, which is why it thought that my Flash was out of date or my JavaScript was turned off.
2. I think I have my new library card memorized. Although I find it pointless that they gave me a 'teen card' when I'll have to get an adult card next year.
3. Coldplay's gonna be on Saturday Night Live this week!!!!
4. I'm doing NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) this year, starting on November 1st.
5. I sent an e-mail to the Knit.1 staff asking when the next issue would be out, and I got a reply - they said that it will be out on December 16th.
6. I think we're having chicken wings for dinner, but I'm not sure. My parents bought chicken wings today.
7. My parents also bought chips today.
8. While my parents were out doing grocery shopping, I read We're Going to See The Beatles! and drank a huge mug of hot chocolate. And then I started drinking some Dr Pepper. I didn't finish the whole can yet, I figured I'd put it in the fridge so that my teeth won't get too rotten :p
9. I just remembered that Ugly Betty is on tonight!!!
10. I think I'll make a funky scarf for Breanne for Christmas.

Dental crap
Why oh why did I have to get the cursed teeth???
It all began when I was about five or six, and I had to have a baby tooth taken out because it was absessed. And then I had to start seeing my orthodontist when I was eight or so. First I had a palette (pallate?) spreader. I think headgear came after that. The same time I had headgear I also had a lip bumper, which I think was supposed to keep the pressure of my bottom lip off my bottom teeth. Braces came next, and I can't remember when I was taken off headgear and the lip bumper. Braces came off, to be replaced by retainers.
Sometime during the 'Headgear and Limp Bumper but no braces yet' days, I fell down the stairs. This was shortly before my tenth birthday. One of my adult front teeth came out, and it got put back in the same night, and the dentist who put the tooth back in glued a piece of wire on my teeth to protect the tooth that was put back in. And then I had to have a root canal done on that tooth by one of the nastiest endodontists EVER. I think he was an 'endodontist' or something like that. Braces went on my teeth (which Dr Grumpy wasn't happy about). Braces came off and the retainers came on. Fun, fun, fun. Fast-forward a few years and I'm visiting Dr G, because I told our family dentist, Dr B, that the tooth was turning a strange colour at the base. Dr G told me that the tooth had to be removed, and an implat would have to be put it. In January of this year, the tooth was removed, and I'm currently wearing a fake, removable tooth called a flipper. And now the post for my permanent fake tooth is going in this coming January, the beginning of 2009.
They give me a sedative to take an hour before each procedure.
I hope they give me a lot of drugs. As many and as much as legally possible.
...I sound like the main character from Waitress.
