Coalition government.

What.

The.

Hell.

I am absolutely livid. Rage. Fury.

This is the first time in my entire 17 years of life that I have cared this much about politics. I wasn't even able to vote.

However, now Dion and Layton want to take the democracy out of our false democracy. Now of course no one actually has to agree with me when I say I support the Conservatives. That's ok, but to support this coalition? That's to support fascism in it's finest. I like to joke about being fascist. Seriously though. F*** that noise. If this goes through I am seriously considering buying me some politician kicking boots.

It bothers me to no end that Dion and Layton have decided that the voting public aren't intelligent enough to make their own decisions. It's a slap in the face of every person who voted in the last election.

Now of course I am no fan of the first past the post system of voting. It's flawed, but if you have enough of a problem with how Canada has voted. Then maybe that's were you should look. Don't start sneaking around behind our backs.

Admittedly I don't know how I would react if the situation was reversed. If the Conservative party was at the head of a coalition against the Liberals. I like to think that I would be equally furious. Chances are though that I wouldn't be. I would probably support something like this if it was reversed. Which also bothers me. Now though. I wouldn't. If this hadn't happened I would have supported. Now, no. Not a chance. Any party that is enough of a dick to do something like this doesn't deserve my vote or my respect.

Well, enough angry ranting for now.

It makes me feel especially foolish knowing that nothing that I say here will actually mean anything in the long run or even be heard by anyone who can do anything. Dang it.

Nope, not a chance

I was going to write a post about something.

I decided against it though. Maybe later.

I am so excited for the lock in. Seriously.

For those of you who don't know what I am talking about, exposition. My youth group is putting on a "lock in". Where the group shows up at the church and is locked in for the night. The plan is to stay up all night and have clever and hilarious shenanigans usually involving ridiculous amounts of video games. I plan on bringing Invader Zim to this lock in. Which will of course sky rocket the intensity of the event. (If you don't know who Invader Zim is then I suggest you either go find out or kill yourself.)...(I may have been joking about that suicide thing.)...(Maybe.)

Umm, anything else. Hmm. Hrm. Not particularly.

I miss my momma, she is at McQueen Lake with my littlest sister. Doing a school trip thingy. Mooo, I miss her. =P

I've changed my mind.

I am unblocking my blog.

This whole blocking thing is lame.

I don't really care who reads this. If they decide to read it then it is their own damn fault if they see something they don't want to.

So there.

That is what I am going to do in a moment here.

Ok. Bye.

Dreams.

You grabbed her by the throat
And throttled the individuality out
Dreams are dangerous
So let's remove them
Stereotypical
Is what we should all become

Just crawl through life
Unnoticed and unworthy
Dreams are dangerous
So let's remove them
Never stand for what you believe
Life is far simpler this way

Live a life unlived
Why even draw breath?
Dreams are dangerous
So let's remove them
Parasitic
Is what we have become

We were meant for more
But we deny our inheritance
The greatest gifts wait for us
Are we really too weak to take them?

Fun on the bass

I have been fiddling with my bass as of late.

Learning two songs for the most part.

Afterlife by Avenged Sevenfold and Sinister Minister by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones.

Afterlife is pretty easy, I have one part actually figure out and then I just have to memorize it.

Sinister Minister on the other hand. Not easy. Not at all. Incredibly fun though. Yes. This will take a lot longer to get down.

Sinister Minister



Afterlife

Chrome

Here is the link to Chrome for those interested.

Link yo.

It is a web browser. Check it out.

Bad Habits

I chew my fingernails. I have for ages. Since I was quite little. It's worst during movies.

Actually, I managed to stop. When I had my braces on I couldn't chew my nails. So I didn't. Tonight, I noticed that I was doing it again. I was chewing my freaking nails. Damn. Now I have to figure out how to stop myself.

I was happy with not doing it too. Really though. Who does a bad habit because they want to? No one. At least not once they have realized that it is a bad habit.

Crap.

Bad habits are stupid... and bad.

I had to share this.

Ok, so I have only been using it for like... ten minutes now.

But the new web browser by Google "Chrome". Is rather amazing.

I seriously recommend you try it out.

It blows Firefox out of the water. Which in turn blew IE out of the water.

So this throws IE into a vortex of doom.

Nevertheless, I have only been using it for a short period of time. So I am sure it will screw me over at some point. Until that happens though.

Makes me chuckle

Cannibal Corpse......... hehe.

I can't get over how cheesy and awesome these guys are.

Well, to clarify they aren't good. Now, good can be used in a few different manners. Good as in righteous. Which these guys definitely aren't. Good as in... not bad. These guys are... not good, but not bad either. If you read this blog and aren't Sarah, you probably won't like them. I don't actually even know if Sarah likes them.

I enjoy them just enough though. =P

Group rituals

Ok, I have a query.

Why do people go to movies in large groups?

I don't really understand the concept at all actually. I will admit, going alone is fairly dumb. Makes one feel like that loner kid in the corner that everyone either feels sorry for or laughs at. So I don't mind going in a small group; however, going in a large group? It makes about as much sense as getting a group together and staring at a wall for two hours. Commenting on the light changes occasionally. Actually, a better example would be gathering to read a book. Occasionally making quips about your favorite character or how the bad guy is a douche bag. Now, why is going to a movie more exciting than the book prospect? Perhaps because it is flashier, and easier on the brain muscles.

Another small thought. Why am I stupid enough to buy food at the theater? Damn. So freaking expensive. I actually could have seen three movies for the amount I spent at the theater today.

Oh, and on the off chance that you don't know. We went to see Quantum of Solace. It was ok. I'm no movie critic, and I make no claims to knowing what is a "good" movie. I did however feel that this Bond film lacked what made recent ones great. Pierce Brosnan. He was my hero for a long time when I was a kid.

Hmm, anything else to let y'all know. I have a plan for grad wear. That if it goes through I will be the happiest grad ever, or at least one of the most stylish. =P

Also, I have been thinking about my next piercing. Which I will probably get in four or five months. I have been thinking nose or another ear. The ear would probably be a Daith or maybe Tragus. I don't even know which side it would be on. I am going for a project on my left ear. So maybe there. By the way, you don't have to understand what I am talking about when it comes to piercings. It took me a while to figure out all the lingo and such. Look it up, but be careful. There are some... interesting piercings out there. Which involve genitals. Male and female genitals. Crazy.

Oh, just a heads up, but Opeth is amazing.

Pictures of piercing.

Here they are. If you haven't seen them yet. My newest piercing. =D




I <3 it. A lot.

Immeasurably exciting

I had a fairly amazing day.

Woke up, went to school. School was normal. Somewhat boring.

After school however. I went down to instincts adornment. I went in for a consultation to find out whether I would be able to get the piercing that I had wanted originally. Unfortunately my face isn't fat enough for what I had wanted. Therefore I had to decide on another. I ended up with another ear piercing. Between my consultation and the actual appointment my mother and I went to Kelly O's for lunch. Then we went back and I got it done and it is amazing. Once I find my cord for the camera. I will post pictures here. Also once I have found the camera I will email those I promised. It will be grand.

Once finished with the whole piercings shenanigans I went to the driving placey thingy and wrote my L test once again. Again, unfortunately I passed. A great tragedy. Quite disappointed.

Wait a minute...

Anyways. So I finished that, my mother changed the insurance on the car and I am ready for the driving shtick.

Umm, I don't have pictures this very second. I am going to go find the cord and such so that I can put some up.

Ok, here is a picture of my L. Because that is all you get to see till Friday night.



Sorry about the head tilting.

Explaination

Ok, so.

The decision to make my blog private. Not a difficult one when you find out that your aunt is reading it.

I was all like, "What!? No!"

Thus my decision to make this sucker private. I apologize for the inconvenience.

If I didn't know about my aunt was reading my blog I would have definitely never made my blog private. Too much hassle.

So again. Sorry about the private deal. Totally worth the privacy though.

Tootles. =)

Private Coming Soon

So, I have made the difficult decision to hide my blog from the viewing public. This is my "two weeks notice"

By two weeks notice I mean like, by Tuesday I am thinking this sucker will be quite private.

So! If you would like to still be able to read this blog machine, I would suggest that you let me know. Via comments or email or facebook or something.

Yeah. There we go.

Let me know. Sooon.

I really really enjoy this song. A lot.

Audience of One

I can still remember
The words and what they meant
As we etched them with our fingers
In years of wet cement
The days blurred into each other
Though everything seemed clear
We cruised along at half speed
But then we shifted gears

We ran like vampires from a thousand burning sons
But even then we should have stayed
But we ran away
Now all my friends are gone
Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved
Runaway
But what are we running from?
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone?

Identities assume us
As nine and five add up
Synchronizing watches
To the seconds that we lost
I looked up and saw you
I know that you saw me
We froze but for a moment
In empathy

I brought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug
You gave my emptiness a name
But you ran away
Now all my friends are gone
Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved
Runaway
But what are we running from?
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone?

We're all ok, until the day we're not
The surface shines, while the inside rots
We raced the sunset and we almost won
We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went on

We ran away
Now all my friends are gone
Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved
Runaway
But what are we running from?
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone?

A few things

I don't know how long this will be. Hopefully pretty long. I could use a longer post. I have been pretty neglectful lately.

Ok! Topic.

Playing in a band setting. Is. Freaking. Sweet. I am a fan. Seriously. Loved it. For those of you who have no idea as to what I am referring to. I am playing for our youth worship band. Which is pretty rad. We didn't have one before two weeks ago, and we have already played once. Totally awesome.

Oh, by the way. I play the bass. Electric bass. An excellent instrument.

Umm, so yeah. Playing in a band is rocking. The rest of youth was okay. I felt pretty out of it today. Sort of on the fringe of everything looking in, but enough of that.

The other thing I wanted to put here is this amazing orchestra type thingy. It's pretty much amazing. Seriously.

Diablo Swing Orchestra

At the top of the page on the left, click on Balrog Boogie. It's brilliant.

A hike

Just a bit of a wienie post to throw up.

Went for a fairly awesome hike today. Spent the majority of the time with Nadine and Alex. Was very good. I rather enjoyed myself. Some good winds and such.

Umm, after the hike we went to Tim Horton's for some relaxation stuff. This was also good. I mooched quite a bit I must say. Twas good altogether though.

Now, for some filler. I did mention this was a wienie post. Get over it you children.
