well.......i live in canada so i thought it might b interesting for some people to hear wat it was like here during that time.
ok well i just had flown home from florida on the 10th, so it was my first day back to school. i was in grade 12. I was sitting in class, then i just heard people yelling in the hallways and people were banging on every class door they ran past. so we all ran out, it was a mess in the halls, just full of people yelling on top of one another. The teachers came out and we're trying to calm everyone down. then they put the radio over the p.a. system so we could all hear wat was going on. Well everyone knows that feeling, that foggy, heart in ur throat, this cant b true feeling. yea we experienced that over in canada too. tears, people panicking.....it was definately the saddest day i can remember.
Thats all we watched on t.v. and every single channel was talking about it. Thats all anyone could think about, in school thats all we discussed, some people didnt even go to school. For a very long time it was all we lived. I remember a couple people saying they had family working there that went to my highschool too. It was the focus of every discussion, people were trying to think of ways to help. people writing letters, just doing anything they could think of. Seeing those people holding up signs of family or friends they havent found was heartbreaking, no matter if u were american or not. As a human being that pain is there not because its ur country but because its another human being.
So, just like every where else, its all we thought about, its all we watched, its all we heard we about, people were very different for a very long time. it obviously would have been more devastating for people in the u.s. or people with family and friends that were lost but i definately do remember that being the most horrifying thing ive seen in my lifetime.

i wouldnt have been if it was one of my other animals, not because i love them less, i would still b worried about them, but its different with bebe
Bebe is petrified of strangers, he doesnt really go outside unless im there, so even driving in the car scares him enough to start shaking like a leaf, he's just different then ur average pet its hard to explain...
Broke my heart to leave him there, and i was already worried about his health. Buuuut so i go back to the vet in the morning thinking i can take him home. The vet was absolutely fascinated with bebe and wanted to talk about him for a good 15 minutes before telling me i couldnt take him home yet. im a lil annoyed at this point, i just wanna take him home.
Sooooooo i call back around 1, and they say i can come get him. they took some xrays, and they wanted to take a urine sample and thats y he had to stay so long cuz he wouldnt pee in the cage for them, the vet said he actually pressed his butt against the cage so he would pee on the floor....HA!
But back to the point, they duno wats wrong with him, he has to go on this special food, and take some meds and they're hoping that will fix watever it is........for this can u guess wat the vet bill was?
over $300!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yea like 320.....do i look like im made of damn money wtf. so of course my jaw hits the desk when she tells me. Im lookin at the bill, well u have ur regular office fee to start with, u have the medicated food, u have the cost of the xrays, u have the cost of the medication, and of course we cant forget the space my tiny little cat took up for exactly 1 and a half days cost money as well.
I should have opened a vet clinic, id b rich! No wonder some people just have to let their pets stay sick.....how the hell can people afford this?! i only have 3 pets and ive been really lucky with them health wise, but wow, when they get old i can just imagine wat ill b paying.
THEY'RE SURE DAMN LUCKY I LOVE THEM!

Street racing is dangerous yea, but it has been going on for longer then anyone seems to talk about. Its been going on since our parents where kids and their parents were kids...... It was definately safer for everyone back then, seeing as there were less cars on the road, and cars were built differently then. But no matter what they change the laws to, its too popular and it's not going to stop. They've tried to make the laws tougher against people who want to race, it doesnt work, and it never will work. People want to race! So instead, why not take some property and make a few stretches of track, make the racing fees cheap enough that anyone who wants to can do it, and let them race for watever they want, or get some input from people asking what they would want, and see how well they can be accomodated????
I know its been brought up in Canada a few times, but the government says no. Even an old airport that wasnt being used anymore, they said no, and left the airport there to rott.........im not sure on the reasoning for their answers.....but i can just imagine.....
When no one wanted skaters around anymore what did they do.....made skate parks!! So why the hell cant we make tracks for people who want to race?! Innocint people wont get hurt or die, and even if it doesnt stop everyone from racing down the hwy it would cut it down. I just really think people are pushing for the wrong thing (tougher laws)......does it matter how many life sentences u get for murder?! People still murder eachother!!! I think the answer to the street racing issue is incredibly simple
Buuut i mean hey, im not in government and im sure its much more complicated then i would understand.... =P

Ok so i have a handicapped cat, his name is bebe (there's a video in my gallery of him) but so i had just moved into my house, and there werent ne screens on the windows yet. so my house is like packed and people smokin and yuck, so we opened the windows.
Well i have another cat who isnt handicapped, and he jumped on the window to chill out and get some fresh air. Weellllll bebe thought he'd try to join him i guess, and i just hear everyone like laughin hystarically, normally i woulda been like "wats so funny, i wanna laugh too" ya kno?! but my heart like instantly jumped in my throat, i ran over, and everyone's like "omg duuuude ur cat just jumped right out the window" i like freak out cuz this window is pretty damn high, and i kno there's no way that bebe's gonna land on his feet.
i run my ass outside and its like dark so im callin for him find him and he's covered in mud but he's ok! so i go in and everyone's still laughin their asses off, im kinda like stfu my cat coulda died assholes, but we move on and watever. the next morning i go out there, and i can see exactly where bebe landed cuz it was all muddy, but like right beside where he landed was a board stickin outta the ground with a bunch of nails in it.....MAN bebe is like the luckiest cat ive ever seen in my life...he has gotten into so much trouble and always comes out fine! but that night i was like "dude, there goes another life"
and thats bout it!

I’m really not a big blog fan, but there are just a few things I wanted to throw out there for people who don’t understand that there are unwritten rules to almost everything…..including halo!!
Let’s start with the obvious….
If you are 10 years old or younger, should you be talking at any point in time?
Answer: NO! Why? Because you’re annoying. Especially the little shit talkers out there, you don’t even understand half the things that are coming out of your mouth….we shouldn’t have to mute you, so just STFU and we’ll all have a nice game!
See, its just common sense! Ok, let’s try another one….
So you’re playing a game of….ohhh lets say BTB Slayer. Do you just randomly throw grenades into rooms hoping that because the teams are so big, u will catch someone with their shields down and get that one kill?
Answer: NO! Why? Because first of all, it’s not always easy to see where your team mates are, so why help the other team by getting your own team mates shield down? AND if you are one of those people who when you see that your team mates are in a room fighting with your opponents, you STILL choose to throw grenades in the room…you’re just a complete idiot, and chances are you’re going to give the other team just as many kills as you’ve just taken. You should be playing rumble pit! So unless you know for sure that the room is filled with your opponents NO RANDOM GRENADES!!!!!
While waiting for a game to start, do you swear, burp, blare your music, eat crunchy food with your mouth open, make weird noises, do impressions or talk shit to other people waiting for the game to start?
Answer: Sure! Why not? We all have the option to mute anyone we like, if you don’t find someone amusing, or you find them annoying mute them before the game even starts and its smooth sailing! This of course doesn’t include the 10 year old shit talkers as mentioned above. The unwritten rule states that you should not have to go out of your way to shut a 10 year old up! They should know their place, and kindly shut their mouths when asked!
If you are illiterate or stupid do you try to sound out other people’s tags while waiting for your game to start?
Answer: No! Chances are that the tag is extremely obvious, well… I guess you wouldn’t know that because you are either illiterate or stupid… Hmmm this is a tough one…how about you just pull the little cord that goes from your headset to your controller, I promise it will all work out for the better!
Do you call out “no scope” repeatedly when you just sniped someone who was right in front of u?
Answer: well….I know its exciting and all, but have you ever tried to snipe someone who is right in front of you while you’re zoomed in??? Now THAT is something to b proud of! So really, ok, go ahead and let us all know that you got a no scope, but then drop it.
NEVER! UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES do you call out “no scope” when you’re using rockets!!…..come on now…are you kidding me??
Do you talk about someone’s mom during the game?
Answer: YUP! They didn’t really screw your mom, so don’t get all pissy about it…. And if they did, that just makes it even funnier for the rest of us!
If you happen to be leading the team in kills, or flag scores or whatever you’re playing, but your team still loses, do you sit in post game shitting on the rest of your team mates?
Answer: There are two answers…if you had a score like 25kills and 23deaths, you have no room to talk shit to your team mates when you can’t get a kill without dying yourself! BUT, if your team was betraying, not playing, didn’t even grasp what the objective was OR you were playing a ranked game…then YES, you can definitely tell your team mates what you think of them. Talk your shit.
If you send someone an invite while they’re in a party with someone else, do you keep sending invites and messages complaining about them not joining you?
Answer: NO! That is incredibly annoying, not only that, but you would have to be stupid not to understand that they are in the middle of something. Leave them alone, they’ll join you when they are ready to do so. And there is no reason for you to be offended! If they didn’t like you, you wouldn’t be on their friends list. Everyone has a big list of people, you can’t always be most important!
Can you talk shit to someone using newb combo?
Answer: Technically no, the weapons wouldn’t be on the map if you weren’t supposed to use them….but it is annoying on occasion….so id like to think the unwritten rule is YES! So go ahead! If you happen to take down someone using the newb combo, talking shit is a MUST!
Can you make a big deal if you get a double kill, triple kill or kill tac?
Answer: YES, you may have your little celebration, YaY for you!
I was also advised that id better not forget teabagging so…
Is it ok to crouch over your opponent’s body repeatedly (commonly known as “teabagging”) after you’ve killed them?
Answer: DEFINITELY!! “Teabagging” is always welcome. You may want to customize your “teabagging” by using such phrases as “yeeaaa you like ‘em” or “that’s right, lick ‘em” or just simply saying “oooohhhh yeeaaaa” You get the idea, don’t be afraid to show your opponent that you are very much enjoying their death, and their pathetic attempts to beat you. I was also advised to include that it is acceptable to blow up a recently killed opponent with a grenade. (“Sticky’s” are most effective). And that it is only expected that you waste some ammo on your defeated opponent in celebration.
I would also like to say that NO WHERE AT ALL in the unwritten rules of halo does it state that ladies are not allowed to partake in the “teabagging” process. Of course it is no longer referred to as “teabagging” when it is done by a girl, but it’s still a very effective way to show dominance. Ladies however do not need to customize theirs to create a big impact. Just a little giggle will make your opponent aware that they have just been beaten by a girl, and is quite effective!
Now I know there a plenty more unwritten rules to halo, but these are just some of the basics for the people who don’t know. You may think some of these rules contradict themselves, but these ARE the rules of halo, whether you choose to believe so or not. These rules are to be followed at all times, and that’s all you need to worry about!
