Scream 4!

Yes, I am one of those freaks of the world who enjoys scary movies. (Even if I can't sleep for a solid week after I watch a good one...) And since I'm one of those freaks I thought I'd tell everyone about SCREAM 4!! Woooo!! The Scream fanatics of the world would have already known this movie was coming out a good year ago.....well same here. I knew about it but it's just getting so close to the opening day! I'm getting pumped up! It comes out April 15th for Canada. Sorry Americans, you'll have to google that one.
Here's the link to the trailer for Scream 4!

Drama

This year for our Christmas drama we're doing this hilarious play! I can't tell you what it's called because it doesn't have a name to be called. Our drama teacher wrote it and forgot to name it. Strange, but I suppose that happens to the best of us!

I consider myself a shoo-in for one of the bigger roles but that's assuming and what I've learned from assuming is to never assume. Take last year for instance, I figured I'd have a big part but no, I got a three line part. So don't assume.
But if I was assuming (which I'm not!) I would think I'm going to get the part of the crazy psycotic elf, the hilarious underachieving employee or the dramatic teenage girl. Hopefully, I'll get one of those. Also, this play happens to have choreographed dance numbers which adds so much more awesomeness to a play! One of them is the "Thriller" dance and the other is one to the James Bond theme.
We get our parts Monday so wish me luck!!!

  

The End of Summer

The camps have been gone to, the statuses have been updated, the skin has tanned, the ferris wheel has been ridden and the last rainbow twizzler of summer has been chewed. It's official, summer is ending and school is starting.
Tomorrow is the first day of grade 10! I'm so excited. I feel so senior-y! Technically it should be my first day of high school but I've been in the high school since grade 8 so that offer kind of lost it's charm for me. If someone were to ask me what I'm planning for after high school I would have no idea. (Journalism possibly?) I have no clue. I should probably have a clue but I don't. I'll have to do some serious looking about this year because next year I have to choose classes that actually go along with my career plans. MY CAREER PLANS?! Who said I wanted to grow up yet? Not me! But I have to.....eventually.

Wishful Thinking

Ho hum. You know what would be great? Visiting Europe. That's what would be great! I can see it now.....Greece, Paris, Spain, Venice, England and so on. You might be wondering why I'm even bringing this up. Well, I was looking through a friend's pictures from Europe and they were absolutly amazing! It just makes you wish you could go there! So that is officially a life goal! Go to Europe. And while I'm young and with a friend! Maybe when I'm in my twenties! If this blog is still around by then I will blog every step of the way!

I Love the Weather!

It's officially summer in my mind! I'm sunburnt and it's been 30+ degrees out lately! As long as we don't get any ridiculous snowstorms! I am also working at two camps this year!! SO excited! Summer is gonna be a good one this year! I just know it! I feel it in the heat radiating from my sunburn....

Band Trip!

I am so ready for our band trip this year!! We're going to Edmonton! We will be seeing Beauty and the Beast The Musical before anyone else! My band teacher got us all in free for a special presentation before the opening night! And OF COURSE, we get to spend some time in the West Edmonton Mall!!!! I am SO excited if you haven't yet noticed!

Alice in Wonderland

I NEED to go see Alice in Wonderland!!!
It looks SO good! I've been trying to convince my friends to go but we haven't set a date.....I mean, who wouldn't want to see a show about a girl getting lost in a rabbit hole. Who does that? 
Johnny Depp is looking his best in years in my opinion. Haha good joke. Still looking spiffy though.

Auction Tonight

As of 2 hours ago I started mass-producing DVD's. I feel like I work in an office sometimes, I swear.  haha.
So this morning when I woke up (at 11:30 am hehe) I find a note on the table that says, "Daylynn, make 6 DVD's for tonight." So now I am doing just that, making DVD's. It takes forever to make one so I'm likely going to be on the computer all day! My goodness....
Anyhow, the reason I'm making all these DVD's is because my dad is organizing an auction for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. It's an organization that helps feed the hungry. Farmers farm land and all the proceeds from the crops go to third world countries. So, he's putting on an auction tonight to add to the crop proceeds.
Well, back to DVD's.

New Heinz On-the-Go Ketchup Packet

Heinz has come out with a new ketchup packet! Woo! No more tearing those little ones and getting ketchup all over the place! The old version of the packets has been out for years. It's funny because as soon as Heinz released the old packets in 1968, complaints started coming in in 1969. Ever since, Heinz has tried coming up with new things and they have but none of the businesses bought them because they were too expensive.

But NOW, they have lowered the prices on this brand new model! (I feel like I'm talking about cars...) This packet not only squeezes the ketchup out of the top, but you can peel back the wrapping and you can dip your fries too! (or whatever it is that people like to dip!) I love this idea! I believe the first packets are to make their appearance in McDonalds this summer!

I've already told everyone I'm heading to McDonalds this summer to witness ketchup history!!!!

I hope all the people who complained about the old packets can rest well at night now. :)

My Plan

So I have this idea that I'm going to cook supper sometime this week. Knowing my non-skills at cooking this could turn out really bad or really good. The recipes are easy enough. I got them from one of my new favorite websites, www.startcooking.com. :)
This website is packed full of easy recipes for all of us who are cooking impaired.
Well anywho, back to my master plan. I'm going to cook chicken fajitas, stuffed mushrooms, and chocolate fudge brownies! Mmmm....I presented all the ingriedients to my mom who keeps telling me "Oh, you won't need that" or "We can use this instead". Well, no mom. I'm determined to go by the book for this little cooking adventure. And just between you and me I'm going to check her list later just to make sure she didn't make any "substitutions". ;)

Driver's Ed

Wooooooooooo! Wooooo! What is all this wooing you may ask? Well it's for one reason and one reason only. I am starting Driver's Ed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That means I get my learners when I turn 15! Yaah! That's coming up by the way! ;) So far it's been a good little class. Lots of notes though. My friends keep asking me if it's slack. I always reply with a "HA!" That is not the case with Driver's Ed.
I'm required to have 30 hours in class training and 6 hours in car training. I am so excited!
Of course when I get a car (which won't likely be when I turn 16 or maybe not even the year after...) it has to be yellow. Not puke yellow but a nice dark yellow. That is my only requirement.
Well there is some pretty corny videos in Driver's Ed if I must say so myself. There is crash test dummies talking and cheesy jokes. Don't get me wrong, I love cheesy jokes just only when they're said by me. :)

Tomorrow is the day!

WOOO! I'm so excited! Tomorrow is the big day! The moment I get to carry the torch!
Sheridan has donned herself my personal trainer. According to her I have to do 20 push ups every night (if there's one thing to know about me, i do NOT have upper body strength and doing one normal push up is a tough feat for me!), carry a bottle of water in the air every evening (the weight of the torch), and going out to the pasture and chasing cows (to build endurance). Whether the last one is for her own amusement or for real I'll never know. I'm so pumped! If you want to watch me carry the torch go to this live web cam of the torch broadcast at 6:36 PM CST (Central Standard Time) tomorrow.

I'm Carrying the Olympic Torch!

This is absolutely ridiculously HUGE news for me! I've known for a long time but I thought I'd let you know about this a week from D-day. hahaha. Anyway, I'm carrying the torch for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games!! I have all my gear and all my information. Sunday is the big day!

I got this awesome opportunity from a place I told you about quite awhile ago. Do you remember Sogo Active? Well that was my ticket to scoring the torch.

Of course, me being Miss Procrastinate I left the offer to actually one week after the deadline so as you may assume I am not buying my torch. (boo on me....) But I get to keep the uniform. (thank goodness!) I've got to say when I signed up for Sogo Active I expected nothing. But here I am now! Wow....am I getting corny or what?

It's funny because when I got my forms it was so precise that it made me laugh. And I quote "You will arrive at the meeting point at precisely 6:36 PM." Hahahahaha. It sounded so professional.

I'm still in shock but still so excited! Is that possible? Being in shock and excited? Oh well.

Cramming for Exams!

Lately I've been sort of addicted to twitter! I have no idea why! It's just saying what you're doing but o well! (Just in case any of you are wondering my username is deedee583...) Anyhow I have an exam coming up on Thursday. I haven't been studying too much due to all the twittering......I know I know.....shame shame shame. Well I suppose I better start cracking or else I would be the crazy person to show up ten minutes late with bedhead because she was up studying all night. I guess I'm wasting time doing this but I thought this was so important I had to share it with you....haha. Well wish me luck!

Snowboarding!!

Oh yeah!! Finally! I get to try snowboarding! It was sort of a spur of the moment thing! (Thats how most things are with me!) I am tempted to put a pillow on my butt. I have heard all sorts of horror stories about sore butts. Very tempted but I won't. At least I'm with my friends! We'll laugh at each others disasters! Everybody says we're going to end up giving up but we'll show them! Anyhow, I think this is great news so I thought I'd share it with you all! (I was going to say y'all but I stopped myself!)

Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games

Well the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics are coming! All us Canadians are pumped and ready. We have the motivational commercials playing showing the drive of our athletes. Yes we even have a Petro Canada commercial that encourages you to buy "Olympic" cups! I'm ready for it as well. I think going to it would be awesome but that probably won't happen. Oh well, Live Broadcast is just as good!
I love the mascots! They're always so cute. If anybody actually knows, could someone tell me what is on Sumi's head? It looks like it could be a disformed hockey mask with horns but I'm sure there is an official name or something. Is it just me or is he also wearing a poncho? I've got to say my favorite is the big furry sasquatch looking guy named Quatchi. He sort of reminds me of Santa. Big, happy, and jolly.

My Great Plan

Well I have a plan for Wednesday! My mom does a Stampin' Club every month and I finally get to go! And yes I couldn't go because it was a school night. They do stay up late! It's pretty much a bunch of mid 30 year olds and older that sit and stamp and chatter till all hours of the morning. (I did mean to type morning!) You may be wondering why I want to go to this, but this is the only time I ever get any stamping done. I plan to make a scrapbook on my friends. It may or may not get done!

I Can't Believe It!

I can't believe it!! Christmas is just around the bend!! I am so ready!! Sort of...I'm working on a PowerPoint for our Christmas Eve service at our church. It's coming slowly ....very slowly but its gonna get done! (hopefully!) My mom hasn't wrapped all the presents yet, the baking is not done, and visions of sugar plums weren't dancing in our heads....ha ha just kidding. (I don't even know what sugar plums are. If anyone does please enlighten me!) While my family is trying to catch up I wish you all a very Merry Christmas!! (this probably won't be my last post before Christmas but if it is I wished you all a Merry Christmas!!!)

Midnight Sun Update!!! If you call yourself a twilight fan than READ THIS!!

Ok I figured out what Midnight Sun is about! I was reading Staphanie Meyer's blog or website or something....(don't ask for the address, i really don't know) ***THIS IS NOT A SPOILER IF YOU HAVE READ THE FIRST BOOK IN THE TWILIGHT SERIES!*** Ready for it? It's Edwards point of view of the twilight book instead of Bella's!!! Isn't that awesome! Sorry all you people that don't like twilight (not really....i love twilight). In between sentences I've been reading the first chapter in Midnight Sun!!!!! I found it on the web!

Coming soon!

My brother is drawing some random doodles so I'm putting them on here so no mean comments no matter how weird they are!! lol
