Febuary 9

OKAY!!! So, yesterday we went into Vancouver (We, being my family and I). Granville Island to be exact. Anyway, so, we were looking through the market and I started to get chlosterphobic so, I said "Let's just sit down for a bit and have a cup of coffee or a drink or whatever." So, we found this booth thing that was full of cookies and sweets so we got a few and sat down and drank coffee and watched people... Life is good. Afterwards, we walked outside and there's this street performer. Well, you know me, I had to watch. ☺So, this guy is just talking normal (which I really appreciate. Because, sometimes when they're concentrating, it sounds like they're taking a dump) and he's juggling fire and knives while standing on some sort of contraption. He was pretty funny too. I didn't have my camera on me at the time. But, if I did, I would've taken a picture. Luckily, my sister, Leah, had hers. It's a piece of crap. BUT IT'S STILL A CAMERA.

It might not be so exciting for most people to hear me ramble on about stuff like this. Especially because people must see stuff like it everyday. But, when you live in a boring community and go to a boring school, like me, it's fun to go into Vancouver and just watch people. That's why I'm so excited for summer.

Well, as you might know, I went quite a while without internet.... So, yeah, I couldn't really put up another post. Oh well.. Anyways, while I was without it, I took a few pictures and edited them... I don't mean to sound cocky or anything but they ARE pretty nice. ^^

Anyway, I have to talk about christmas because I haven't written since then. I definately enjoyed it. I got a new bar for my industrial piercing... (I've had my eye on it for quite a while now) and my sister, Leah, made me some sort of art thingy.. OH YES! And the new CD from The Killers. I was going to go to the Metric concert but things came up and we couldn't go. But, that's okay. They'll always be back.
My friend, Brianne, was in the school play. So, my friend, KRY$TEe and I went to go see her and cheer her on. One thing's for sure, I couldn't keep a straight face if I were to perform. It was a good time.

Oh, on January 10, I was at my "half-sister"'s house and I came back home and now I have a new bed frame. It's pritty :). Also, she's going on vacation to Chile for 5 weeks so I have to take care of her crazy bird that won't die. Apparently, if he escapes, you have to knock him out to put him back into the cage, otherwise, he'll attack you. She comes to school yesterday and says to me, "This morning I woke up and Mya-bird was eating a cheesy on my head"... ahh, good times. :Z I'm kinda scared of this beast, Mya-bird.

We got a new TV and such last weekend. Everything is put up nicely but I can't figure out which remotes I'm supposed to use.

Anyway, I have to wrap this up soon because I think that I might take Scott, the bunny, outside becuase IT'S FINALLY KIND OF SUNNY. Okay, I will be sure to write again soon.

P.S. I got new plugs for my stretched ears. People are like "ew, why would you even do that? Doesn't it hurt?". Yeah, it kinda hurts a bit but not as much as people think. But, they're really pretty. Kinda a murky glass that reflects whatever colour is behind it.

Okay, I have a few stories to tell, but, I'll start off with something kind of happy. I started to read "The Garbage King" a few days ago. And, now, I really like reading again. On Monday, I told this guy to shut up and stop being such an a-hole. I think my teacher really appreciated it. My friend and I told the principle about his extreme perverted-ness, and he got suspended yay. Oh, another story, on Saturday, I had an urge to paint. Some people actually know what they're going to paint. But, me, no idea. I just started to paint and it turned out very nicely. Of coarse, it's an abstract. Everything of mine kind of turns out that way. Haha. And, another story. ... yesterday, I was getting something out of my bag (which was by the front door), when I hear "meow". So, because I'm really crazy, I yelled "meow" back to the cat. Now, this went on for about 5 minutes before I actually opened the door to see who it was. I opened the door, and my friend, Mi-Gato, was sitting right on the front step "meowing" at me. So, I sat down and gave him some milk and played with him until like 9:30. (That's kind of late for me, I like to sleep) ... Anyway, that's all I have for now.

Okay, Hi, my name's Maaike, I decided I want to start a blog because I really enjoy reading other peoples' blogs. Anyway, I should tell a bit about myself. Well, like everyone, I have some weird interests which may slip out through my writing. Uhm.. I'm into alot of different music, but I really love reggae and classic rock... also alot of blues [like Jimi Hendrix, Led zeppelin, Kiss, etc.]. Some of my favorite bands (or artists) to listen to are Led Zeppelin (like I mentioned earlier), Vampire Weekend, Eric Clapton, Matisyahu, Iron Maiden, Bob Marley, The Fall of Troy, Lamb of God, The Mars Volta, Neil Young, The Strokes, Ozzy, Pink Floyd, Queen, The Raconteurs, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Rolling Stones, Guns n' Roses, and definately The White Stripes. But, I don't just like to listen to one type of music. Some people might hate me for saying this, but, oh well. I also like Brittney Spears, Miley Cyrus, Daft Punk, Ghostland Observatory, The Gorillaz, Metric, Michael Jackson, Mindless Self Indulgence, N.E.R.D. , Retard-o-bot, Santogold, Shwayze, and Cypress Hill. Okay, that filled alot of space.



Hmm... maybe I should name a few interests. Well, I am strangely obsessed with piercings. I don't have many myself but I love to look at them. Tattoos also fall into that catergory. Some tattoos everyone has to think are crazy. (Crazy, as in bad). But some are nice. I'm not so much for cartoons. I don't think I want to be a tattoo artist when I'm older. Maybe, it's because it's pretty much art all day. I get tired of art after a while. It frustrates me. Anyway, I think that I might like to be a paramedic when I'm older. But, I might change my mind, because there's other cool jobs waiting to be discovered. Uh... yeah. I really like hanging out with friends and stuff... i'll continue this later
