Biography: Hey!

I'm Aj! I have changed this bio thingy tons of times, but who looks at this anyway? Wink

I love the Arts... Performing, writing, drawing, etc, etc, etc.

I also love Japenese Manga, namely, Naruto.

I'm so obsessed with it... it's not even funny. Cheesy

Music is a BIG part of my life... Yep. It seriously plays 24/7 if I'm concerned.

Plus, I play guitar (and fail at it) learning keyboard, and did clarinet for five days.

haha

Sorry if I haven't been on here for the past week or so...I made a Facebook on Sunday and I have been way too obsessed about it and I'm on it every day. So, yeah...that's what I've been doing for the past few days...

You too, eh? Ahhh I remember when I first got my facebook, I couldn't get off. hehe. Now, this afternoon was the first time I think, In three days. A record for me. ; )

Don't do Farmville. Or Fish whatever. Or any of that stupid crap. Time wasters. Wink

Facebook can be fairly addicting. I spend way too much time on there. Although currently, it's all Olympics that everyone's been talkign about.

I agree. *raises hands guiltly* I've been addicted to becoming a fan of things and adding flair- oh, I love flair. But then I ran out of room . Cry

Sad, sad day.

I haven't done anything regarding the Olympics... All I know is that someone died in the bob sledding. Dad tried to get me to watch a bunch of movies of his death, but I'm not a fan of watching real people be blown away. :dry Anyway. Yeah, how's that thing going, I hear they only do it every four years...? :dry

Hello, everybody!

I don't know how long it's been. I will no longer keep track, because it's too depressing. I only know that Daniel can demolish this house board by board if left unsupervised, and I have to cut down my computer time or become homeless.

I haven't been watching the Olympics either, though for once they were certainly worth watching, what with Canada setting a record for gold medals in the winter olympics. The whole country went crazy when Sidney Crosby scored the winning goal. It was fantastic! And it was nice to see Canadians being patriotic for a change! Halifax is especially nuts because Sidney Crosby is from a community that I'd describe as a "suburb" of Halifax, lol. Last spring he brought the Stanley Cup here, and now he's bringing back a gold medal, so yeah, we're very proud of him. Sweetheart

Jon, I didn't have trouble finding Kat on facebook, though I think she keeps changing her name, so that may account for it. Wacko

Jon

Biography: Jon started reading Gordon Korman more than 20 years ago, beginning with Beware the Fish, and as soon as he started, he had to keep reading everything he could get his hands on.

Eventually, he reached the point of writing to Gordon as each new book came out, passing on his thoughts and praise, and Gordon wrote back, establishing a strong friendship over the years.

Unhappy with the level of Gordon Korman websites, and convinced he could do a better job, Jon created the Semi-Official Gordon Korman Web Site, and eventually Gordon asked him if he'd like to make it the official site, and bring some more content into it.

On matters other than Gordon Korman, ~~Jon is currently freezing in Omaha, NE, and has a cat named Black Lightning who is both his companion and the bane of his existence.~~

Jon has returned to Orlando, and is mucking about with this forum, trying to make it all that it should be. It is the forum that is now the bane of his existence.

It's not simply that I'm allowed to overuse '...,' but, I'm allowed to do that because it's simply included in all the other annoying things I'm allowed to do.

Not sure if you remember/knew this, but Jon's not allowed to sing because of his own invocation!

Jon wrote on 11/08/02 at 7:48am:

I solemnly promise ... not to sing in here ever again, as I seem to have scared everybody else off the boards!

HAHA!!!!! I got to use a word that I don't remember ever using! (And, Jen, I don't mean 'please...') Wink

I'm sort of tempted to go through them all and look, but I feel that would be taking it too far...

Today was a fantastic day. I woke up to sun streaming through the curtains, the bread wasn't mouldy, I earned £20. Finished my chemistry notes, saw my friend, had ice cream for dessert, and my music lesson went well.
And it's still sunny.
Such a good day. Cheesy

So really the only problem is the still unfinished coursework... Sad

Glad you had a great day!

Today I have to hire a babysitter. This is my first time and I have no idea what to pay, so I have to call up all my friends with kids and see what they pay. Informal survey.

In fact, after Caleb's epic spit up this morning, I might see if this sitter will offer a discount for taking the kids for months at a time... Blink

Thank you! The bad part was that I was working, and then suddenly it was 3am on Monday morning. (Okay, that's not quite true, I knew it was going to be late, but it was unavoidable.)
Stupid homework. Sad

It's still sunny! Cheesy

It's beautifully rainy here Cheesy

It had been sunny all last week, but this week it's been raining- which is good... except when it doesn't rain, it feels like a Florida summer- hot and annoyingly humid. Angry

Apparently the Chasco Parade is today, ... but since we never go it doesn't affect me. Instead I have tons of school to do today and lots of Spring cleaning. Sad

I'm also trying to learn some of my favorite songs on the piano... but failing... lol.

Um. School school and more school. I'm a big fan of music now - well, I was before, but now it's playing twenty four seven, haha. Rediscovering some of my old faves like Three Days Grace and Thousand Foot Crutch, and still being Obsessed with the "new" ones like Skillet and Evanescence, haha. But nobody cares. XD

I wanna write. Sad

Did I seriously just waste two paragraphs right there? Wow.

Yesterday I played violin, did some physics homework, played more violin, ate lunch, tried to practice aural, played violin, picked up my sister, played violin while dinner cooked, ate, played violin till 9:45.

I reckon it was at least 4 or 5 hours.

My plan for today is about the same, but it's really sunny so maybe I'll go get ice cream or something for a break.

Oh well. Next weekend might be better. Undecided
