Holy cr*p!!!! 

I can't belive it's been six months since I last posted..... soooo much has happened... I'm back in Antigonish at Festival Antigonish summer theatre agian, and this year we're doindg  a musical called "Honk!" It's based on the ugly duckling story. It's so amazing to be back here in Antigonish again, and many of the people from last year are back too! Ya know, even though I wasn't born here and I only live here for 6 weeks a year, Antigonish always feels like, and therefore is, at least to my way of thinking, my true home.

aaaahh, there's so much I want to write, but it'll have to wait till later...

"Goodbye, toodle-pip, old chum!"

Ohhh, I almost had a heart attack this morning. I left all of my notebooks at school because I figured I'd pick them up after my exam today, but then they cancelled school. So I thought that I was going to have to take my math exam on Monday without studying for it *dies*. Fortunately, I emailed my english teacher, and she happened to be at the school getting some of her stuf, so she's going to get my books for me. Talk about relieved! I never thought I'd be excited to be able to study, but I am now.

Just thought I'd share a response I just posted in advice4teens, becasue it really sums up what I've felt and been feeling and realized over the past few months.

I've felt the same way and wondered the same things sometimes. One of the reasons that I felt that way was because everyone is always saying you should, "Seize the day." I looked at what they meant by siezing the day (getting drunk, shopping till your credit cards are maxed out, skipping off school), and when I compared it to my life, I thought that I wasn't siezing the day, so I thought that I would have regrets later in life. What I finally realized, though, is that "Seize the day" simply means doing what YOU want to do and what makes you happy TODAY, and not worrying about what you'll think twenty, thirty, fourty years down the road. You will be totally different then, and who knows, you might look back and say, "I wish I had just relaxed and enjoyed every day and everything I did back then." So basically, just enjoy what you're doing. If theater makes you happy, what's wrong with that? If just sitting in your room reading a book makes you happy, then do it! Later in life, if you look back and think, "I wish I'd done this or that or whatever," then you can just remember that you did other things that made you hapy at the time. 


haha.. seven months later... my quotes du jour accurately sums up my feelings on the matter, "Time you enjoy wasting is time not wasted," and "I don't think that there's anything worse than being ordinary." 'Nough said. :-)

Ohmygosh!! It seems like it's been forever since I last posted! Actually, I think it has! LOL Ok, so i don't have time to write about everything that's happened, but it's been awesome!

And I won the science fair! ME! Me, who couldn't even think of a project for 4 months! Unbelievable!

anyhoo, shjould check my piczo (http://amysilv.piczo.com) and my space.. holy ****, I don't have time to keep all of my sites updated! Ah, the tragedies of life!

I just finished my second week of theatre camp. I'm having a blast!!!! We're doing the Hobbit. I actually got a speaking part!!!! (two actually). I play a goblin commander and a wood-elf (just like Legolas). I'm also a High Elf, but I don't speak. Jeremy Webb is directing and he is soooo funny!!! Michelle is assistant director. I love her, she is such a fun person to be around. She makes us do a warm-up every morning. We do lots of stretches, a few yoga moves, 50 sit-ups, and 20 push-ups. It's wonderful!!! Everyone else groans though, and teases her about being evil, and she just laufghs and says "oh yes, I'm very evil! I love the sound of cracking musculs first thing in the morning." (she's joking, of course). I'm having such an waesome time, definately great memories!! I've met some other kids my age; Ryan (a fun guy to hang around with), Jeanna (I'm usually always laughing around her), Aislin, Molly (really nice and a bit tomboy-ish, her dad is Ed Thomason, the artistic director), Lucia, Sam (he and I always sword fight backstage, and one day I WILL beat him!!! MAUAHAHA), Laura (frien-imy of Sam), and Jacob (who I discovered is distantly related to me, and he has the absolute PERFECT Gollum voice).

I'm staying at Momma's, but mom is coming to pick me up in about.. oh, wait, about.. right now, and she and I are going to see a play Jeremy is in called 'Good Things' (it's gotten excellent reviews). We went to see the other play Jeremy is in ('The Woman In Black') last nigh. It is really good, but really scary. Well, I'd better go (even though that's not the half of it...) So til next time..

Keep on Rockin' in the Free World,

Sorry, Igot interrupted the other night. Dad needed the computer, you know how it is. Anyhoo, where was I? Oh yes, May 29....

May 29: I came down with a terrible cold. It took me like three weeks to get fully over it.

May 31: Mom and I went to Halifax to drop dad off at the airport for his trip to Wisconson. Then we went to see The DaVinci Code. It was AWESOME!!!! Then we went shooping at Value Village (for once thouhg, i didn't get anything).

June 1: I went to the Nova Scotia Public Archives to try to research our family tree. Then we came home.

June7: We watched Flightplan. It was a good movie.

June 9: Ben, Mom, and I went to Halifax for the NSHEA Curriculm Fair (mom is the Vendor Coordinator). Ben and I helped the vendors bring all there books into the building. What was really cool though was that because we had to come from three hours away NSHEA piad for us to stay in one of the dormatories (they had the curriculm fair at Kings University). i'm thinking of going there, so it was really nice to see the campus.

oops, gotta go agian

Hey!!

Well, I've been pretty busy lately....

May 26: Ben had a HUGE birthay party. There were over 80 people here. We had music and dancing and booze. I had sooo much fun and I met alot of people from school, which was cool. Actually, I felt I did a really good job of mingling, especailly considering how shy I usually am. It didn't finally end until 4:00 AM. But man alive! it was AWESOME.

May 27: Presybytary meeting at 10:00 AM. Those things are boring as hell anyway, but the fact that I had like 4 hours of sleep the night before made me a total zombie. The point of the meeting was to get our new pastor (Mr. Welsh) approved by presybytary, and one of the presbytary memberrs *who shall remain nameless* kept making all these retarded comments over minuscular pionts. Talk about mountians out of molehills!! Thankfully, Mr. Davies was there to keep things moving along. Anyhoo, on the plus side, they did finally approve him, so we're going to get a pastor after like 5 years without one. Halleluia!!!! Halleluia!!!! Halleluia!!!! Halleluia!!!!
Moving on..... Mr. Welsh stayed at our place Saturday night because he was going to preach Sunday morning. It was kind of funny because he's our new pastor whom we've seen like once before, and when he arrived we were still like picking up all the empties off the lawn and scrubbing the floors from the party. He didn't mind too much though, but it was funny anyway.

May 28: Mr. Welsh preached at our church and as usual we had a fellowship luncheon after the service.

I just finished watching Close To Home, and the main character's husband died. it was so sad because they had just planned to go on a vacation together and it was going to be all romantic. Boo-hoo!!!!!

What is up with all the TV shows lately anyway? I mean like every show seems to have to kill off a mian character in the season finale. First it was the O.C. (Marissa), then Law & Order (Alexa, I think her name is, or was), and then Close to Home. Desperate Housewives is having its finale Sunday, and from the preview, it looks like Eva Longoria's husband is going to die. CSI's finale is on Teusday. I wonder who is going to die? I hope no one. :-(

Or maybe TV shows have been doing that for years and I didn't know (I hardly ever watch TV, except lately (because I've read all the interesting books in the house, and I don't get much computer time).

Anyhoo, I'm probably just tired and going way overboard (I mean like c'mon, getting depressed just because a bunch of TV shows you never watch are killing their characters?)

On a different TV note, I watched a Dr. phil Primetime Special (Escaping Danger) and it was really good and very grippping.

Ha! I should be doing school now, but I'm not. Yay! Instead I'm sitting at the computer reading LJ. Ben's leaving for PEI today. His birthday is like Saturday or something (whenever the 22nd is, I'm not sure) so we'll have to celebrate when he gets back. uh.. I have nothing else to say right now (my brain's still foggy from waking up.....).....

You know what LJ community I've discovered that I really like? It's one_happiness (http://community.livejournal.com/one_happiness), where people describe what perfect happiness is to them in one sentence. And advice4teens(http://community.livejournal.com/advice4teens) is pretty cool too.
