Colleen's Random JunkWhy look at random junk anywhere else?
3月27日 So bored...So I'm actually at school right now, and I'm so bored (and this keyboard is messed up). And we actually get "free time" in buisness. But I don't know what to do, which is kind of sad. I don't like going on the internet in public. Dunno why. It's not like I have anything to hide. But I just feel like people are watching me and what I'm doing or something (as if they have nothing better to do). So...yeah. The periods almost over, so ig2g. 2月24日 Long time, no ramblingWow, it's been a long time since I've added an entry
 . So here's my picks for this seaon of American Idol Yes, we all know that we love this show, even if we won't admit it. And now, the overly-drawn-out initial audition process (which is oh so cruel. But it's like a train wreck. You can't help but watch.) is finally over. And now we're down to the talented (in general) top 24.
There are some people that clearly are going to go far. It's just so obvious. And there's also some that it's clear that it's only a matter of time before they catch a train (or plane) back to their hometowns and dead-end jobs.
Here's my pick for who's going to be in the final group:
1. Taylor Hicks
Ha, this guy's awesome. He's got a bunch of things going for him: - He's very unique - He has a interesting look (although not what you might expect from an "idol") - He has a great voice, and an interesting sound - He is what we would call an underdog. He's not your standard "good looking, golden-voiced, seemingly-perfect" contestant. lots of people want to root for someone they can relate to.
But not everyone does. This is where we come to my #2 pick:
2. Ace Young
Yes, Ace would fall under the "good looking, golden-voiced, seemingly-perfect" contestant category. Yet he is also very appealing. And it's NOT just his looks. Unlike last season's rock god Constantine, beneath Ace's good looks and confidence, there's a real person with human emotions. Yes, that's right. Shhh...everyone be quiet, and sit patiently. Maybe if look close enough, you too will see a human being emerge from the mass of his perfect locks, and from within his golden smile. LOOK! THERE IT IS! What? Don't tell me you missed it! Okay, I'm being unfair. Ace really seems like a genuinely nice guy. You could see how nervous he was before his performance, and the relief when the judges gave him a good review. And he looked genuinely nervous on elimination night, as if he actually thought there could be a chance of him going home (even thought the rest of the world knew there wasn't)
3. Lisa Tucker
She's got an amazing voice. And believe it or not, that actually is one of the criteria for American Idol (shocking, I know). And at suck a young age (16) she shows maturity and class.
4. Chris Daughtry Great voice. Good personality. Sure to go far (but probably not win.)
5. Kevin Covais
It's just so crazy it might work. Another youngster, at 16, Kevin is the kind of guy you could find in the computer lab of any high school. Which is why he's so likeable and relatable. He has a good voice, but it's not the best by any means. But the fact that he's just so...ordinary (in an endearing kind of way) might be the thing that takes him far.
And get a load of this guy....
He's like a mix between Peter Brady and Fred Savage (gotta love those awesome old school TV shows. But seriously, The Wonder Years is a really good show. And the Brady Bunch is just fun to laugh at.)
Peter Brady (played by Christopher McKnight)
Fred Savage (in The Wonder Years)
So, yeah, that's my roundup for this season of AI. Enjoy. 2月8日 GET OVER IT PEOPLE! :PLol, I've been noticing that I've been getting a TON of hits on my space, andf everyone is looking for pictures of the same person. Sean Preston Federline. Yes, that's right. People come to my site in search of pictures of an infant (Sean Preston is Britney Spears's baby, for those of you that have been living under a rock).
And the picture of Gwenyth Paltrow and young Apple keep coming up, instead of young Sean (it's all because of that blog about celebrity children when I was talking about them, but never actually had a picture of Sean).
And the whole Britney-driving-a-car-with-her-infant-on-her-lap incident has probably just boosted interest.
I will try to find a picture for all you obsessive people, but right now American Idol/The Grammys are on.
EDIT: HERE IT IS! The unveiling! The moment you've all been waiting for:
 1月30日 Wow, my old blog...Just recently, I remembered my old blog on www.blogger.com which I started in the summer of '04. so I decided to resurrect it. I couldn't remember the URL, or anything, so I just typed some random things I remembered talking about into the serch thing. And somehow, it actually came up. And let me tell you, it's good for few laughs. It's honestly the most random thing ever. I bring up a few valid points, but keep jumping between topics. And my absolute favourite part of the whole thing is this (and I quote):
"One thing you should know, (or maybe you already do) is that I'm a HUGE fan of Canadian Idol! Last nights episode turned out quite well (in my opinnion) Shane is awsome! He and his voice remind me of Clay Aiken, and I'm a very big fan of Clay. But I also really like Kalan Porter, he's also an awsome singer. So I don't know who to vote for in the final 10 (isn't it so awful!)I'm leaning towards Kalan, but I think the first performance will really affect my vote. I also like Teresa a lot. She's a really good singer too. But my mom likes her the best, so she'll probably be voting for her. But yeah, I'll probably vote for Kalan!"
Hahahahaha....yes, I'll "probably" vote for Kalan. Lmao, ah....that really kills me. Waaaaay back in the top 32...so unsure of who to vote for. Such rough times. If I only I could've looked into the future and seen me and my unhealthy obsession with Kalan. (can you tell I'm way too amused by that?)
So then I thought that maybe I'd start writing in that blog again, so I went through a very painful process of rocovering my password AND username (which consisted of entering my email adress). But then I decided that my blog would probably stand better on it's own. Preserving a pathetic slice of my twelve (almost thirteen) year-old life.
So without further ado, here's the link!:
In other oh so exciting news, I'm DONE exams (for this term) ! I had math today, which wasn't as brutal as I expected.
So I sucessfully survived my term in highschool, somewhat unscathed. I was reading some of my earlier bogs on here about how freaked out I was about starting highschool, and my "enemy" (who I've barely talked to since the first day of school). But it's been pretty good. I dunno what the next term will bring, but I doubt any of it could be as hillarious as math class! But ya never know.
Ciao!
1月23日 Sugar, we're going down swinging
Vote NDP. They suck less than the other parties.
That's all I have to say.
Okay, so obviously it's not. Since when have I ever been able to sum up my thoughts in a sentence? So, I willl share these cartoons of Stephen Harper I found. And maybe I will actually give reason for my opinion. But that's only if I'm feeling somewhat motivated, which isn't likely.
Haha. I like that. And I actually understand it, unlike most of the cartoons I found
Lmao.
I'm not really a Liberal fan either, but they're way better than the Conservatives. I Stephan Harper's plan to give $100 every month to every family with a preschool child is the stupidest plan ever. It will come right out of our tax money, and a lot of the families probably won't even use their $100 for preschool. And what about the families that don't send their kids to preschool? It's stupid to give the money right to the people. How about giving it to the preschools? Maybe then they won't have to charge as much! And re-openning the vote on gay marriage is just stupid. It's already been decided on, so why re-open that can of worms? They just think that if they get in power, they might be able to change the bill on gay marriage. And even just the aspect of them getting into power and re-voting on the gay marriage bill is sending people into panic. Lots of gays are rushing into getting married before they may no longer be able to. And I think that Jack Layton would be a much better leader, and deserves the chance. I like that he the time to stop by Much Music to talk to youth voters. And while the Liberal and Conservative campaigns have just become a mud-slinging battle, Jack Layton, while pointing out the faults of the other parties, keeps a somewhat clean campaign. I would type more, but I really have to work on my english summative and whatnot Try to enjoy your last day of freedom before Stephen Harper is (most likely) elected, and our great country goes down the drain (even further down than Paul Martin's already put it). And remember, VOTE NDP!
1月21日 My Head is a Magnet for Various ObjectsI SHOULD be working on my english summative right now. But then I started thinking about something.
A lot of people seem to "accidentally" heat my in the head with a lot of different things.
I know that most people usually get hit in the head with a few things, and it seemed like just about everybody in our gym class got whacked by a basketball at least once. But it seems to happen to me A LOT.
What, you may ask, got me started on all of this? Well, maybe the fact that I nearly got decapitated by a water bottle cap in math yesterday. Okay, so I'm exagerating. A bit. But it was pretty scary. Some of the guys nearby were doing that thing where you twist the water bottle as much as you can (apperantly the Nestle bottles are the best) and then the cap goes shooting off. Except in this case, it missed whacking me in the side of the head by about half a centimeter, and whizzed past my face. So then I did that thing that I'm getting very good at (from experience). What I do, is look in the direction it came from right away. Not TOO threateningly/accousingly/bitchingly, but a little pit P.O.ed, but also with a small smile ready (unless it actually hit me and it hurt, then I just glare at them.) So then I discovered the culprits. And they gave me that usual look, that all the culprits do. They look surprised/guilty/slightly pleased with themselves. And then the excuses came "That was SO suposed to go over there." The first one said. "Yeah, it totally bounced." The other one said. Then I smiled a bit (I try to be a good sport). "Whoa, that totally skimmed your face!" The first one exclaimed. He sounded too happy. Apperantly he thought so too, because then he added, trying to be serious, "But you know. My bad."
I think I've been hit in the head by just about every type of sports ball. Incuding one of those really big colourful balls that every child has owned at one time or another. Someone brought one on the bus (genius) and then it hit me in the back of the head. That didn't hurt, it was just really random. And then someone threw a pencil at my head earlier this school year. They claimed it was a mistake. Suuuuure. And then a math text book fell on my head. That HURT. But no one threw it at me. It just fell off the dhelf of my locker (and onto my head) when I was leaning over to get something.
And I've also been hit in the face with a couple things. That usually hurts more. Like a tennis ball, for instance. And then my eye got hit by a paper airplane in kindergarden. The teacher got so mad at that guy, saying I could've gone blind or something.
There's probably lots more too, that I can't think of.
Maybe I'm just insane, and everyone else has been hit in the head by a thousand things too. But it doesn't seem like it. But let me know. 1月13日 Oasis concert, and my (probable) lack of attendanceHa, about twenty minutes ago, I heard on the radio that Oasis is playing at the Air Canada Center in March. As some of you know, Oasis is pretty much my favourite band EVER. So I got so excited, and was like "Oh my God! I HAVE TO GO!! It's gunna be so awesome!"
Yeah, then I relised that there is no way in HELL that I'm going.
I looked on the internet for more info, and I found out that the cheapest tickets cost $47.50. Of course, I'd be willing to pay that to see Oasis. But my parents wouldn't pay that to go see a band they don't like (actually, they don't know any of their music, so I guess they can't really dislike them.) And no one I know likes (or has heard of) Oasis. And my parents would probably rather die than let me go by myself.
And even if I DID have a friend to go with, they probably STILL wouldn't let me go. And to be honest, I probably wouldn't feel comfortable just with a friend. But I'd also feel like a total dork if I went with my parents. And even if I payed for their tickets too or something, they STILL probably wouldn't want to go.
Even though I know there's no point. I'm going to "casually" bring it up. And then my mom will give me one of those "Why-are-you-even-bothering-to-ask? Theres-no-way-in-hell-you're-going" looks.
So yeah...Bon Jovi's out to get your money. Beware. No seriously. Their cheapest tickets were like, 67 bucks. What a bunch of scammers. I know they're a "classic rock" band, but still. Queen's cheapest were only like, 50 bucks. Mind you, the best part of their band, Freddie Mercury, isn't around any more, so they had to get some other guy to be lead singer, but still...they're still Queen. Nickelback's tickets were only 40 bucks. Go see them. They're nice young boys who aren't just out to steal your money.
1月5日 Amazing artwork and From Justin to KellyI stumbled across this website, and all the art is by this one girl, and it's so amazing, I had to show you some of it.
All artwork by Zindy S. D. Nielsen from http://zindy.zone.dk
This one's my absolute favourite. It looks so realistic:
 Another amazing one:
and there's soooo many other great pictures, so CHECK OUT THAT SITE!
Last night I decided to watch From Justin to Kelly, which I had taped a while ago. I'm sure you've all heard about how bad it's suposed to be, right? Well, it lives up to those expectations. Whoever came up with the idea for a romantic-comedy-musical starring Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini should be fired. But it did have some of those so-bad-it's-good moments. Like the Hovercraft Laundry Basketball Game. That was fun. Ewww...but Kelly would've had to kiss Justin. That's just gross:P And they kept talking about how "cute" he was. Hahaha...well, I guess some girls think he's cute. 1月3日 Happy (slightly belated) New Year!Is it 2006 already? It seems like it just turned into 2005! Here's 2005, a year in review.
Of course there was the devestating Hurricane Katrina in the summer, and the boxing day Toronto shooting of 15-year-old Jane Creba. And while both were horrible events, they showed that people can really pull together and help. Celebrities like Sean Penn took matters into their own hands and rescued victims of Hurricane Katrina. And an impromptu (sp?) shrine was set up at the spot where Jane Creba was caught in cross gunfire while she was out shopping with her parents. Complete strangers of the victim stopped and gave their prayers and/or left flowers, candles or notes for the 15 year old.
Canada took a huge step forward, and leagalized gay marriage.
In deaths, Pope John Paul II passed away, as did late night legend Johnny Carson, and Gilligan's Island star, Bob Denver.
Michael Jackson was found "not guilty" on all child-molestation charges. Some jury members have said they believe that Michael was actually guilty, but there wasn't enough evidence to back it up.
A new Harry Potter book and movie were released for fans to enjoy this year.
Big box-office hits included the final Star Wars installment, Harry Potter, War of the Worlds, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, King Kong, and surprise hits March of the Penguins, Wedding Crashers, and the 40-Year Old Virgin.
Popular bands and musicians icluded Green Day, Black Eyed Peas, Gwen Stefani, and Kelly Clarkson.
iPod and Xbox released huge sucesses iPod Nano AND iPod video, and the highly anticipated xbox 360.
Britney had a baby, Jessica and Nick seperated, Brad and Jen split leaving Angelina to go after Brad, and Tom Cruise went insane, and inpregnated and got engaged to Katie Holmes.
And there you have it, a (very brief) year in review. |
