One does not simply leap into Mordor...

It's true, you can't really take a leap of faith into Mordor, though I'm sure you could argue that Frodo did and blah blah blah. I needed a title today, so I picked that. Nothing else to it.

So, I've accomplished something rather odd this week: Not a single day of school. Oh, you must think I'm crazy, a deviant of some sort? I'll admit I was lazy, and the reasons for not going to school are not good reasons you'd like to hear, so I won't tell them. So, if you haven't been blessed by my presence in the hallways, you now know why.

So, in the end, it doesn't work out too well anyway, I'm prolly behind on tons of stuff. But I did have a nice week, lotsa sleeping and reading honestly. And now I shall pay the price.

Oh, I'd also like to thank Kates for filling in my blog, I'm certainly not nearly as consistent with the writing as I used to be. But Kates certainly does provide the more... feminine side of the blog, what with her chick flick analysis and all, and I'm sure she talked about shoes somewhere. Not that my blog is really masculine or anything, it's more of a neutral tone I'd say. Which is nice.

Do have a good end of the weekend, I will leave now, with this very short blog entry.

Yours in empathy (lol),

Sugar High

Hello out there!

Sorry to anyone who cares that both Gabby and I are horrible at committing to write something down more than once (or twice if your lucky) a month! He's always complaining about lack of interest from the great masses that tend not to flock to his blog but really, who better to blame than himself? Well ourselves now :P. Tell me Gabby: how are we supposed to attract readers with no new material?
One of the main reasons that I have been MIA these past weeks is somewhat due to school but a lot can be said about the distraction of the book I am currently reading!! Now you must promise not to laugh.... I'm currently reading the books in the Twilight series. Yes I am aware that they are kind of trashy, no I am not going to pretend they are great works of literature that will be remembered for decades. Hell chick lit is a bit of a vice for me and I’m not afraid to admit it!! The story is quite captivating and honestly what girl can resist a good old fashioned passionate love story?! They even has a love triangle or two :P It’s also a plus when there are things like gorgeous vampires and dangerously alluring werewolves to entertain you ;). I'm also the biggest nerd on the planet because the other book I'm reading is the latest in the Halo novel series:P. I know how much cooler can one person get? If you know anything about Halo (the most awesome video game ...ever..) here's the basic idea of this book: Avery Johnson is a young marine in a special division who gets transferd to a easier job out in the far off human colony of Harvest, but soon the Humans and the Covenant are going to have their first contact. Obviously this part of the story comes before the first game and I am finding it quite enjoyable so far.
Since I have already embarrassed myself with my revelations on the book front mind as well divulge my other favourite procrastination past time....... I am addicted to One Tree Hill :$:P. I know it’s a soap opera but not only is everyone (give or take a few) on the show amazingly attractive, with awesome hair might I add, it also has so much drama that I can forget about how silly my life is for a while. I am currently on season 2 episode 16, and I have been trying to pace myself, you know fill in the gaps with History homework, trashy novels and the occasional food break:P.

As for my real life, you know the one in the real world, I have actually had a kind of eventful couple of days! Wednesday was the first swim meet of the year; I think I placed second in something or other... I really need to shave 3 seconds off my 50 free time before I will be satisfied though. After swim Julian's mom drove Andrew and I home, thanks Wendy you’re the best, she bought us doughnuts though... a dozen of them ….. for the 4 of us:S. I hate to admit that I had three, but the swimming makes up for it. Right?:D I also had Mickey D’s for dinner with my dad; I got a grilled chicken sandwich though, which counts for some you-aren't-going-to-fat-people's-hell points. Thursday was parent teachers and unfortunately my evil twin was in the day my teacher was looking for a secretary so I was stuck at school on my half day :( I spent my time chatting with Jordan, Dexter and Travis which was...nice... :P lol. Thursday night after my singing lesson/rehearsal (no laughing, I am in a church choir) I went with some friends to see August Rush. Which was incredible, in a feel good, everything is a huge coincidence but that’s okay, kind of way:D. Friday I hung out downtown with a “special client”, bought some pizza and CDs, generally had a good time. Then came home, did minimal homework until Devlin came over to help me beat Halo :D. My dog almost ate him though:S I never really got around to the whole puppy training thing, don’t get me wrong though, he’s a good dog, just a little... wild sometimes.
Anyways Devlin and I went back to his house for some gaming with Davie and Dusan, and this is probably the best part of my weekend. See I ate almost half a thing of mint chocolate chip swirl something or other ice cream, and then played Halo with two guys who are both much better than me. I have a sugar high and Devlin is trying to coach me from the sidelines, mainly by yelling “JUMP!!” over and over again. This obviously sends me into a fit of uncontrollable giggles when jumping actually keeps me alive for a good 3 minutes with Davie chasing after me with a rocket launcher, mongoose, gravity hammer and I think a Spartan laser, though I was laughing too hard to really tell. :P I babysat Saturday night, will discuss the merits and downfalls of babysitting at a later date, after spending and hour and a half bagging leaves with my daddy. Thank God too, cause with all that white stuff outside I think anyone who was putting the leaves issue off to a later date is shit outta luck!

God I can talk a lot!! It must be something like a new record! :P Hope everyone had as action packed a long weekend as I did, and until I grace you with my presence again,

Later Days!



HALEY: Urgh(!) Do you think there’s such a thing as a sugar hangover?
(Brooke shrugs and makes a slight noise before getting up.)
BROOKE: I think what you need is a little taste of the snake that bit ya(!)
(Kneels in front of Haley, smiling.)
HALEY: Ice-cream for breakfast?
BROOKE: It’s Butter-pecan.
-One Tree Hill, season 2 episode 8:Truth, Bitter Truth

P.S. That was EXACTALY how I felt after both the doughnuts and the ice cream **groan**

This is 5% luck, 1% skill

40% concentrated power of will, 40% pleasure, 4% pain and OVER NINE THOUSAND PERCENT REASON TO REMEMBER THE NAME.

That's right folks, after a rather amazing debut blog post by K473z 7h3 M4gnific3n7 (it certainly beat my first one), I'm back to talk about what, exactly?

I dunno, though I find myself in the same position as K473z, that is, surrounded by darkness and about to fall asleep on this Tuesday night after some hard work in History and then some raidzzz with my guild. Eagle and Lynx boss down! Not that that means anything at all to any of you, but I'll include a screenshot purely for the lolz in one of the most intense moments of the night.



You can click on that for a bigger version, if you dare.

Yeah, I'm sorry for depressing all of you, but when William Shatner and Mr. T start making advertisements for World of Warcraft, you realize that WoW is just pure win, no matter what all you Zelda nerds may say.

So, I think I've had a pretty good day, tomorrow won't be so good cuz of another History thing (Corner wants us to memorize shiz, ugh), but I'm looking forward to Friday and being out of school for that day. Yeauhhh history trip planned 3 months in advance!

On that note, I'll go sleep now so I can wake up bright and early tomorrow and memorize shiz. Gawd, I suck at memorizing.

Yours in memorization,

Welcome to the World

The camera pans over a dark room lit only by the faint glow of a computer screen. There is a girl sitting in on a pile of pillows with her face resting on the keyboard of her laptop, fast asleep.
**Voice over begins in the low mellow tones of Kate Soper**
First impressions are something that people dread all over the world. We stay awake at night fearing the first day at a new school, or pace in the waiting room before an important interview. No matter what it is, big or small, it is hard to be comfortable when you know everything from the shirt you are wearing to the tone of your voice is being analyzed by the person in front of you. The great thing about the internet is that you don’t have to worry if your pants and jacket clash.

With a start Kate is awake and rubbing her eyes, blinking at the screen in front of her, then at the clock across the room on her dresser.

Kate: Crap…*yawn* why the fuck am I not in bed?!

Clicks her mouse, scrolls down the screen and types the final words into her first post on Gabby’s blog. With a flourish the entry is posted.



Good day avid, and not so avid, readers. It is nice to see you, metaphorically, up and about here in cyber space. I am a friend of Gabby’s who he has generously allowed to contribute to his wondrous blog spot. Silly Gabby thought that by allowing me to write for him the vastness of my social circle will read my posts and his blog will gain popularity. Unfortunately Gabby forgot to note that I have no friends who care enough to go out of their way and read my rambling and for that his plan is doomed. His other incentive for inviting me was that I supposedly have an exciting life full of fun times and adventures. I am in IB, it would seem that all IB students are prone to compulsive studying, homework completion and EE research, so even though I am not a typical IB student and do go out more than I probably wise, my choices of fun events are limited by my largely IB based friend group.
Sorry Gabby, guess you will have to make due with my directionless ramblings!

I think that will suffice as an introduction into what Kate Soper the Magnificent is all about.

For lack of a better signing off tagline:
Later days.

15/11/07

And so here we are,

Born to be kings,
We're the princes of the universe.

Another standard day indeed. I now know that My lowest mark cannot be below seventy, which isn't too bad. 95 in French brings things up in the end, anyway.

There are, in facts, a few highlights to my day:

Met plenty of people at lunchtime and talked about everything.
Rofled, along with half of the class, in SAP over some cheesy 80s educational movie. I'd explain this one part which brought tears to our eyes and we had to rewind because it was so effing hilarious, but you wouldn't get it, you'd have to be in my SAP class to understand. At one point we thought this one girl was having some sort of problem, since she was laughing for 12 minutes straight. I myself lasted eight minutes before I decided to stop, which I managed by simply bringing up the image of Mr. Reiss in my mind. Worked like a charm.

Went home, messed around a little bit 'till six o' clock at which point I prepared to undertake my journey on bike, in the cold and the rain, to Leaside High School for the Badminton club. Played some good matches to warm up, as I was rather rusty, having missed a lot of days because of all the school work. And amidst the matches, who should appear in the gym but my lovely friend Ana, who, purely by coincidence, happened to be at the school for some event of some sort and happened to see me! I do wish she would have stuck around, though, for after a quick yell "Hello" she vanished out of sight, never to be seen again. I looked around a bit for her, but then decided to go home, exhausted.

Some might consider my day as dull, others as somewhat adventurous, but it was a nice day overall. And yes, I write about my days in this blog for nothing else seems to be noteworthy.

OH. The Epic Lightsaber battle tomorrow! GO GO. They're giving out free lightsabers, and then it's 2$ if there are too many people. Contact me if you feel the urge to fight for your side (THATS RIGHT, YOU CAN BE A DARK OR LIGHT JEDI, YEAUHHH).

It'll be really fun and nerdy, I promise!

I won't go alone though, so taaalk to me if you read this on time. Which you probably won't.

Oh well, goodbye, farewell (insert the rest of the Sound of Music line here).

Yours in smileys =),

Hola

That means hi, and since I've forgotten everything from Grade Ten Spanish (Ms. [redacted] was quite the teacher), that's about all I can say for the moment.

But hey, I got into the Level two Spanish class, even though we're already halfway through November! Even better is that Mr. Matchett, as he likes to say, is "soaking my feet" (wtf?) with a quiz on stuff I have no idea how to do this Wednesday, w00t. Something about the future and the present progressive etc. He was nice enough to give me a ten-minute Spanish lesson after school today, though.

Tomorrow shall be the last time I have to talk to Mr. Reiss, as I have to get his permission to drop Bio class (you have no idea how happy that makes me). Although I think he will be happy to get rid of me, I wasn't exactly his best student. Come to think of it, I was his worst. The only thing I was good at was giving random facts when he asked a question, and I was the only one with an answer, usually the right one somehow. (reach for the top anyone?).

I'm rather disappointed, but happy that I didn't eat lunch today, I was expecting a succulent meal and yet none presented itself, though, in the end, much embarrassment was saved. Maybe I'll be normal and fix myself a lunch tomorrow. If you care, I had a crummy cookie for lunch.

And, well, that's the way the cookie crumbles. Sorry ladies, this'll be a short, boring one.
