      Bonjour mon amis. The last little while has been tres interesting. The last little while of school went fine. Friday was our written exam. I got the highest mark in the class, being 98%! Yay! Happiness! So after the exam, I got Chris to drive me to the skytrain and then I got home at like four, cause the ferry left late. Anywho, so I got home and went straight to the bank, and the woman there was a total bitch and wouldn't finish my loan blah blah blah... so I dunno, we worked something out temporarily, and I was supposed to go in there earlier this week and change it, but I've been to lazy. As usual. Anyways, sooo after that, Mike took me out IN MY NEW CAR, and attempted to teach me how to drive standard. He was only somewhat successful. But, stubborn me, I drove around the rest of the night with Phil, and we had some chattings. Next morning, Kayley was visiting as well, so we hung out and spent terrible sums of money on CD's. Yay! I got the Skillet CD!

      Ok, enough boring stuff. So because I am a self proclaimed dumbass, I decided that yes, my driving was adequate enough for me to drive back to the mainland. Bad idea. I only stalled like once every... half hour or so. Heh... Mebbe. Um, so yea, back on the ferry, Brody and I were gonna hang out, so I had to drive through greater Van, all the way to Richmond. Oh my sweet Jesus. I got completely lost, and was like two or three hours late hahaha. But it was all good. We found a piercing place and Brody got his eyebrow pierced, which is very sexay. We walked around downtown, ate some terrible Subway, and suprisingly I didn't have a ticket when we got back to the car. We watched Candyman that night, which was terrible. Yes. End of story. Drove home good and late and only got lost like twice. I was so proud.

      Practiced on Sunday at school. Brad and Chris got to see my mad driving skills. (which are terrible... like everything else) Um, I think it was Sunday night that Brad and I went to see Dark water. It is a terrible movie. Don't see it. Wow, a lot of things are terrible. You know what else is terrible? I was texting Brad and he's like, let's see a movie, and when he picked me up, he told me he thought he had been talking to someone else the entire time until right before he picked me up. So that was a little uncomfortable. Thanks B-rad, you assmunch. But all was alright. I mean, I know I wasn't the hot date he was expecting, but I can dream. No, we had martinis haha, and saw the movie. Good times! Monday morning rolls around and it's exam day! I did two exams in the morning... my first one, I messed up by giving an unconsious baby backblows... not a good idea, but I caught myself, so the examiner let me off. Um, second scenario, I thought it went well, but I actually failed it as I later found out. Didn't roll the already strapped down, in the ambulance patient, before I gave him glucagel, so I failed. Yeaah. Failed! Um, third one went well. I did it with the other examiner and he like passed me in ten minutes, even though I fucked everything up on it pretty badly. So overall, I failed, but it's ok. Almost everyone who had my examiner failed as well, and we all have remdials next week in Van.

      So, half of us were pretty pissed off... so we went to the pub to get smashed... good idea! I was the second worst off, but I made up for it by getting completely shitfaced, and passing out on the table. From what I have gathered from everyone, Laurence and Brad took me home, and apparently I was still consious and talking, although I don't remember anything. I told them where I lived and so we three stumbled home. I like must have confessed my undying devotion to Brad, because the last thing I remember hearing is, "Tasha, I'm gay." Wow... I know how to pick em! Hahaha, that was funny. But yeah, woke up the next morning with puke all over ALL of my clothes, which were all in a pile on the floor. Um, writing all over my arms, head, stomach. Things such as, "I love Brody." Wow, I wonder who wrote that. Laurence, you geek. I'm sure Brad was only responsible for the squiggles on my face. I'm gonna kill you fuckers. But yea, I was like, wow. I'm not even hung over. Uh, yea, lovely mess in the bathroom. I must have tried to take out my contacts, cause I found them all dried up on the counter. Wow, crazy night I guess. Can't wait to show my face at the JI in August. Hahaha, good times.

      So anyways, Brody calls me up that morning and is like, "are you ready for Warped." And me, being the sport that I am, say yes, and start... getting out of my pukey clothes. So, on the skytrain, manage to figure out what bus to take, get to UBC, meet Brody, stash our stuff in a locker, and off to Warped! It was great. We saw Hawthorne Height, Senses Fail, Billy Talent, and My Chemical Romance, among others, but those were the highlights. The guy from Senses Fail was a total pervert. "Who wants a mustache ride after the show?!" Ewww, shiver. I bought an awesome Billy Talent tee-shirt, and ran around in my bathing suit top all day. Brody must have roasted cause he was wearing black pants and a black long sleeved shirt dumbfuck. Hahaha, just kidding Brody hehe. But no, we got so sunburnt. By the time we realized it, it was too late to do anything about it. Billy Talent and MCR were comin' up soon, and I was right there in the pit getting body slammed by these huge dudes, and yeah, wow, my burrrns. This one guy ran around randomly punching people in the stomach. That was only slightly painful. But overall, it was excellent! My Chemical Romance was totally the best there. I love Gerard. J'taime vous, Gerard! Bang bang bang! Uh, yeah, it was like just after nine when we got out of there. We got something to drink and sat in a park for like three hours, then went downtown and crashed. All sunburned and extremely uncomfortable. But good times were had by all. Freakin' talking automated McDonalds trashcan. "Thank you for feeding me!"

      Wednesday, I got all packed up, got home around nine, hung out with Phil. And what have I done since then? Well Phil and I went job hunting today. Dropped off at the Bay, Sears, and will fax to Eddie Bauer, which is opening at Woodgrove. Lounged around in Janelle's pool yesterday. Watched Jurassic Park 2 with Phil tonight. Oh, had a campfire with Janelle, Crysta, Alex, Chelsea, and Phil last night. You can go see the pics of those on the site. Poisonous gasses, flaming crabs, a good night as usual. I think I've covered everything in enough detail. Well the things that you need to know at least... mwahahha! Back to Van next week for remedials!

Brody is my Donnie.

      Yeaaa, Derek is back teaching THANK GOD. Man, that sub was an ass, teaching us bull protocals and telling us we're all gonna fail. I was like "Derek, I'm so glad your back!" It was quite funny. I fell asleep in class many many times today. Just the kind where you're trying to stay awake so hard and your eyes close and your head drops for a second, which wakes you back up and you jerk your head up. Yes. So my head hurts from jerking it around so much. Hahaha, yea, I might have no gotten any sleep last night. It might have been cause I went out on a sort-of date with a certain someone whose name starts with 'B' and ends with 'Rody.' And I'll leave it at that. It was an interesting night, I'll say that much. Cops were involved. And that's it. Oh, and there was a man on the skytrain asking me how old I was, how old was the oldest guy I'd ever dated, and would I ever date him, being a 45 year old creepy dude. Thank God he got off at the next station. Weird. But no, I can say that we went to the Cambie and had drinks and chips. I attempted to drink a mug of beer, but I was unsuccesful. At least I tried hahaha. Then it was raining outside... and I should stop talking. We got soaked. Alright. Maybe see you Nanaimo-ites on Saturday for a bit.

      Today has been pretty boring... walking to school again cause I no longer have my car. School was sooo bad haha, we had a sub and he just talked the entire time and we didn't really get to do any scenarios -hence- I didn't learn anything. Plus I almost fell asleep in class several times from my talk into the wee hours with -Mmm mm mm- Brody. Yes, I am aware that you are reading this Bro-oh-dy. Get over yourself, you picture crazed dancing queen! In other news... that's actually about it. Laurence was being weird today, but that was to be expected. Hey, it was well worth it. Verrry well worth it. Hopefully I will see... someone before I go crazy? And the truth's out. Anyways. Boredom. Yepppp...

      Heyyy, I shall update you all on my celebrations this long weekend! On Thursday night, I went to the pub with Brad, Liz, and Kristen. Then Kris and I went to Liz's house with Brad, who proceeded to pass out on the lawn and throw up all over himself. Liz fell off the couch many times, Kris went home soon after, and I crashed on the couch overnight. Walked home the next morning... on Friday night I went to the Standard with Liz, Laurence, Liz's brother and his wife, and thier two aussie friends... one of whom was really hot! His name is Antony and he has black curly hair. We danced most of the night and good times were had by all. We left around two I believe and I basically walked home cause I live about two blocks away. Oh yeah! While I was there, this like forty year old creepy dude kept checking me out and like trying to grind me. We were all laughing at him all night, and then he came up to me, said I looked "sexy and stunning," and could he please buy me a drink and then do something later. I was like, "no, I don't think so, I have school tomorrow, and I don't drink." Then Kris bought me a drink and he stared at me all night. It was creepy. For Canada day it was wasn't very busy.

      The next day I went to school around noon and stayed till one thirty watching some scenarios because one of the people who is totally gonna fail was kinda hogging all our resources. So Kris called me later and I met them (all the same people plus a few more) in Surrey and we had a barbeque at Kris' house. It was sooo good! Then we went back to the Standard which was packed. We met Laurence and his friend, Brody there. Did some shots, had a few coolers... none of which affected me at all. B-rad wasn't there. He went to Kelowna this weekend even though he said he was gonna take me out. But I had a good time anyways. Antony bought me a drink, but I got to know Brody pretty well. He was saying he couldn't dance at all. He really reminded me of Nathan. Same eyes, same general look. It was crazy. Anyways, so we went out and started dancing, and I guess he has been drinking quite a bit before we got there. We were grindin' up a storm! Hahaha, it was good fun... then we might have started making out... maybe? You'll have to ask me. Then it got a leetle out of hand. Plus Laurence has a crush on me. He was sending Liz all these text messages saying how he "just wants to cuddle," with me. It was really creepy. But so Brody and I were like kissing and dancing on the dancefloor when Laurence and everyone comes up behind us and starts dancing... and we didn't notice them for a good two minutes.

      Laurence was just staring at me, but Brody would not stop touching me! I was like, "ahh, fuck off!" So we left not long after that, which sucked cause I was having an awesome time. Brody was totally drunk and kept saying I should come over to his house, and "is this it?" Can I have your number, etc. Right in front of Laurence. He didn't speak to either of us while we walked to his car. My heels were killing me by this time (Hehehe, I was weaing my sexay black dress!) So I took them off and ran the rest of the way home. Laurence and Brody followed me to make sure I got home safely. That was around three. Last night. I went to school today with Chris to do some practicing, then we went out for lunch at Timmy's. And back to school tomorrow! Yay! Brad'll be back and I'll harass hime for leaving! Anyways, that was about the wildest night of my life. Can't say I made all the right choices, but I just made a good one. Phil's gone for good. Freeeedom! I love goin out! My classmates are awesome. So are aussies! No name calling for the Brody incident please and thank-you. I didn't expect that to happen.
