Get Good

What is the proper grammer for get good? it wouldn't be get better because thats something else completely; or is it? When you first tink of it, it isn't the same sentance, but the longer you think about it, it is the same sentance, well has the same meaning. But you can only get better at something if you've arleady done it, but you can get good with out hvaing done that something before. so.....which is it? the same, or different?

anyway, the fire alarm went off last night, that was fun, on my last duty shift teh pre alarm went off at 4:00am, that was also fun, it only woke up one person but inturn woke up two others a teacher and a student. its not a very loud alram, but then again its a the pre alarm. and then a cuple nights ago around 9pm the pre alarm went off again, but last night the ALARM went off. Melissa's Duty shifts are jinxed. i'll tell you more aobut it when i've got the time









what song is that line from? i can't remember

My Last Name

so acuple nights ago i'm putting information into teh computer adn its takeing me longer than it should because well, its so fucking boreing and i caould have been doing other things, ie sleep. so anyway i start to wonder about doukhobors and the culture and religion and why they left Russia and all that jazz. So i go on to a site adn then think, maybe dad knows some of this stuff and i sent him the web site i was on because i thought it was interesting and what not. and he e-mails me back telling me he's found our name and the meaning of it on the web site i sent him. OMG! i didn't think to look for it becuase i figured it would have been to changed. and i know to a lout of people knowing what your last name means is not a huge deal and who cares right? WRONG! to me its a hgue deal. i've always wanted to know what my last name means. I know what Laura means i'll prolly never know what Lusha means, but thats fine. I was so happy and smiley all night, it was a huge deal to me. i thought it was really cool
so my last name was originally Ukraninan, got Russianized and then came to canada and got canadianized.
'Planidin is a Russianization of the Ukrainian surname Planida. The -in suffeix ending was added in teh second half of teh 19th centurey. It is derived fromt eh Ukrainian term planida, meaning one's "fate" or "destiny" english spelling variants include: blah blah blah, Planden, blah blah'

Yesturday was the day i was a witch, and i must say i did a poor job. the kids just weren't into it whihc inturn made me not into it. if you don't want to play than niether do i sort of thing. some of them really enjoyed it, most of them just wanted to get it over with. So last night i took over Melissa's duty, and i had done duty the night before (thats when i found out my last name's emaning) anyway, i went to bed around 12:30am, was alseep by 1:00am and was woken at 4:00am. The prealarm for the fire alarm was going off and i couldn't hear it from the Hell floor but one of the teachers could hear it on G-Floor and no one else was even awake. so i go down and obviously i find out pretty quickly whats wrong, i look at the main alarm box thing adn theres four button turn alarm on, turn alarm off and two others, i press the alarm off button not thinking it'll work and it does. weird. the little digital screen says that it's going off from room 5. we go to room five and the light on the fire alarm is on, which its not suppose to be and the room is soooooooo hot and muggy. theres three kids in there, and this week there's only been two but one kid left adn you can't leave kids alone in a big center. so the teacher goes in and opens teh window blah blah blah i'm not in my room at 6:00am and unable to sleep because
1)being woken up by a walky-talky call button scares teh shit out of you (not literally-ew)
2) when you are woken by the duty radio you assume something is wrong and adrenilin starts going
3) when you have to get up suddenly and then go walking around the center you start to wake up a little more
4) that adrenilin didn't go anywhere or get used so now i have to try and sleep while i have adrenilin pumping around my body
i eventually got back to sleep 10:00am the actual fire alarm goes off. this is becuase every firday at 10am we have to check that its work, again woke up and almost shit myself. back to sleep. 10:30 Dan comes down to my room to ask me if its ok if i do academic tomorrow instead of a day off andhave a day off somewhere else. yeah thats fine, but just now i realize my next day off wont be for another week. if that, oh joy. oh well
anywho, it got up and out of bed today at 2:30pm. i'm so proud. i don't have to work untill 6:00 and even then its only for a cuple hours. so today is sort of like a day off










I'm destany's child, hahahahaha

Welsh Downpoor

so its raining, quite a bit. on and off really Melissa and i went down to Betws, Eve gave us a ride i needed to send out a birthday package to a cuple of twins i know *wink wink, nudge nudge* and on teh walk home it starts to poor. well just a little bit and then Melissa had to go an taunt the clouds and the sky and the more she taunted the heavier the rains got and the more it poored. Thanks Melissa. she was in a waterproof and i was in my green zip up seatshirt thing thats really thin and my superman shoes, needles to say i got soaked. and Jeena you will be so proud of me, the whole walk home there were big deep puddles litearly everywhere, i didn't jump in a one, i'm saving all my jumping action for you.......that sounded dirty. some of the fields are a little flooded, Betws is underwater fairly often or so we are told, lucky for us Rhyd-y-Creuau is on a bit of a hill, maybe we'll turn into an Island, that should be fun







tea time

packages

The package from Jeena came today. YAY! i want to say parstle but people look at me funny when i say that. not that they don't look at me funny anyway its just they look at me in a different funny way when i say parstle.
Theres christmas presents i the package as well and i'm having a hard time not opening them. i promised i wouldn't open them untill christmas adn they are small for easy transportability. i will last untill christmas, it'll be more special and what not if i wait untill christmas. in Feburary(sp?) Melissa, Pam and I are going to a Jack Johnson concert, very exicted, we're tyring to see if Ed wants to come adn possibly even Sarah. we just need a credit card and then we can get the tickets. thay are £25 to me, Melissa and Pam thats not to bad and to Ed thats a little expensive. Michael Buble is playing on the 5th of november, i would like to go to that, but i don't have the days off, the money or the accomadations and transport, plus i bet its sold out or close to it already.
so melissa and i are suppose to go down to teh bank ats it 12:00pm and the bank closes at 1:00pm and Melissa went off with Ed to do some soil thing. i wonder where she is and she better be back soon. we need to get moving like now.










life ain't no beauty show

Power

so there i was talking quiet happily to Arthur and about to send a big long reply to a question he asked and the power cuts out. the room i'm in is the loft and its right above Cnicht (thats the name of the class room and also of a montain) and all the kids in that room scream. big surprise. so now i have to find my way in the dark to the center which is down a small flight, 5 steps, of concreate stairs and then another 4 steps of slate slabs and its been raining, that was a fun decent then across the 'court yard' to the center where the fire alarm is going off. lol. its was fun. no sarcasim, it was. well except the part of the big kids trying to scare each other and the little kids just being scared in general and both parties being fairly loud.
I've been on this computer since about 7:30pm. when i first got on about 5sec later Diego comes in and asks how long i'm going to be on teh computer, i just tell him a long time and he says " a long time?" and i say "a LONG time" i know what you are all thinking. wow laura is being a bitch, oh contrare, there are 5 other computers around the center that aren't crap and then a whole lab full of computers that he could use. he's come in twice more and still i'm on here and i'm not getting off untill i'm good and ready and seeing as i don't have to work tomorrow and that its only 1/4 to 10pm i'll be on here for a good long time more. i'm right near a skylight and when you're in the loft and your head can almost touch the celing you can hear the hard rain pretty well, and i like it.
muahahahahahahahahaha
so tomorrow Diego leaves for Edinburgh, or as he pronounces it Edinborg. its frustrating that everytime he says edinborg anyone around him says Edinburgh? and he doesn't try to say it properly. he use to try to pronounce things properly but he's kind of given up. well not kind of, he's given up competely and gotten lazy with his english which is annoying and frustrating becase he was makeing progress and he's thorwn that out the window and its annoying beucase you know he can say these things properly and speak correct sentances becuase you've heard him do it before and now he's not. SPEAK PROPERLY DAMN YOU! lol
anyway back to the main reason i brought him up. he's gone for a week tomorrow! YAY! lol. Melissa and i can't wait, we are horrible humanbeings, we know.
Theres a group of kids in right now from the American School in London. I was expecting them to be kids around 16-17 years old and spoiled, you know having been american but schooling in Britain. anyway they are about 8-12 and they don't seem spoiled yet but they aren't the brightest lights on the tree, but then again, were any of us that bright at the age of 8-12?
OH and by the by the Irish Sea looks like a snail. you don't see it? i'll show you when i get home.
I finally finished the Moonstone book, was a pretty good read. i'm not onto Pride and Prejudice, 'tis also a good read, i'm flying through it. i bought a book that i don't think i'll read and that i'll leave here. i don't remember the name of it. no wait tis 'The Queen and I'. when i get home i need to start get through and finish the three muskateers. i have started it about 2 and have gotten as far as the 10 chapter but i want to get through it.
My mom sent me my green denim jacket in the post over three weeks ago and genearly packages take two weeks to get to where they are going (depending on if you send them near holidays) and i'm worried that it'll be lost in the post forever and then i'll be uber sad.
I wrote a letter to Jeena today basically saying all that i have said on here, except the power outage and the fact that the ASL students are little kids








So don't turn off the lights, I don't wanna be in the dark tonight, 'cause I can't read your mind I need to know if what I'm doing is right. Don't turn off the lights! (so is he saysing with out the lighst on he can't service his woman [or man] properly?)

Right, you want to sit in that chair? And... cue... the... skit!
Laura:
why is it called intermission?? are you in the middle of some mission and its in the middle of it hence 'inter' and you feel the need to stop before you can carry on with the mission? and if you were in the middle of a mission why would you stop in the middle of it? why not get the mission over adn done with and then take a brake, maybe even a kit-kat bar. would it not jepordise the success of teh mission if you stopped in the middle of it. if you wait untill its done then you can have a much needed and there for better celibration than if you were to rest in teh middle. but if you were ona really hard mission i suppose that resting would keep you energized for the rest of the mission and then you keep going and going and going and going......e*hem.......unless people consider a movie or a theatrical production a mission. well some of them can be. only god knows, well i do to, but only god knows how many movies and plays i've had to sit through feeligna s if its some test. and then theres that and on top of that when the stupid little cranky boen in my ass starts acting up god is it ever a mission to sit there look like i'm enjoying my self adn not to get up adn run away. other times its a mission is when the play is so bad you want to stan up and yell 'oi! this is the worst piece of crap i've ever had to sit throug and believe you me i've sat through some crap!'













I have to puch the prame alooooot!!

Contradiciton

One fine day, in the middle of the night, two dead boys got up to fight. Back to back they faced each other drew theirs swords and shot each other. a Deff police man heard the noise and came and shot the two dead boys, and if you don't believe my lie is true ask teh blind man he saw it too.

Climbing, again

so yesturday was my day off and i went Rock climbing in Llanberiss at a rock wall thing called teh beacon. its called the beacon becasue it use to be an old Radio transmition house thing. it was huge! i had so much fun. we were there from 1:00pm to 4:00pm. 4 hours of climbing. holy crap i'm so sore!!!
last night everything from my elbows to my hands was throbbing in pain. today my tri and bicepts are sore, my abs are sore. its hurts to even giggle and my neck adn sholder muscles are sore. Pam, Melissa and I were going to go to the gym today but we all decided against it.
last night i saw pride adn prejudice again. i love that movie. i really hope it comes out in Canada. if it doesn't i'll cry.
anyway thats about it for what i've been up to lately, besides working.




that killed 10min, only another 30min to go before dinner. sooooooooooo hungrey adn sooooo tired of center food. oh well. whatcha gonna do? nothing? i thought so. i could make a sandwhich. oh we're having chicken :P no thanks. not that i don;t liek chicken i do, i just am tired of it. i will amkea sandwhich adn it'll be teh best damn sandwhich ever to be made. oooor i could just eat alot of soup and potatos and take more than my fair share of the pudding (pudding is english for dessert. may favorite dessert over here is either Sticky Toffee Pudding or Banoffee Pie
yuuuummmmmmmm!

Happy Happy Joy Joy (and thanksgiving)

YAY i'm happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anyway yesturday was Thanksgiving and it bugged me not knowing why we had thanks giving so i went to a site and it said that canadian thanksgiving is just in thanks for a succesful harvest. i think i'm going to try another site see what else it says
ok this site says that it was first celibrated in April 15, 1872 for teh recovery of king Edward the VII from an illness......riiiiight
so far two sites tell me that we gave thanks because King edward got over being sick adn two sites tell me that we give thanks do to a healthy harvest and something to do with a guy named Martin Forbisher

"on January 31, 1957, Canadian Parliament announced that on the second Monday in October, Thanksgiving would
Harvest Seasonbe "a day of general thanksgiving to almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed." Thanksgiving was moved to the second Monday in October because after the World Wars, Remembrance Day (November 11th) and Thanksgiving kept falling in the same week. "

there, so now you know. sort of. theres so much mixed history sarrounding our stupid holiday
have tyou ever noticed the americans use memorial day as an excuse to have a sale adn to "celebrate"

The sun is a mass of incandescent gasA gigantic nuclear furnaceWhere hydrogen is built into heliumAt a temperature of millions of degreesYo ho, it’s hot, the sun is notA place where we could liveBut here on earth there’d be no lifeWithout the light it givesWe need it’s lightWe need it’s heatWe need it’s energyWithout the sun, without a doubtThere’d be no you and me










the sun is hot, the sun is hot

Everybody Hurts

Everybody hurts by REM is the worst song to listen to when you are thinking about home and that ceratain someone who isn't talking to you.
Is REM America's answer to the Tragically Hip, or is the Tragically Hip Canadas answer to REM?
so it fianlly rained again, we went almost a week, well not quite, 3 days with out rain and on the forth day it rained.
god i'm listening to the worst music ever for missing friends and a certain someone. i'd love to write this person but i don't have their mailing address and i know my e-mails are getting to them but i don't know if they are reading them. they are making my stay much harder than it needs to be. if they would just say hello, or tell me why they are upset with me so i could try to or not to fix it. i could appologize. i want to fly home smack this person up side the head ask whats wrong, give them a hug and then play halo and try to kill them but all in good fun.
so today is exactly a month since i arrived at Rhyd-y-Creuau, Betws-y-Coed, North Wales. if i want it down to the time i have to wait untill later this evening.
Pam and I are going to hae a candy and movie night while i'm on duty. sorry Al. so right now we're trying to figure out how to get down to Llanrwst, everyone is either to sick to move, already left, on holidays or can't drive, that last one would be Pam and I. so we're trying to see about the bus or train, or maybe if Jon isn't feeling to gross maybe he coud drive us. we might go to teh pool before we get the food adn movies. it'd prolly be a good idea to exercise a little before i go t sit down and be gross by eating junk and watching movies but right now, i don't wanna. I'm eating way to much jun, when i get home i'll be 100billion lbs, but it'll be ok, i'll still be cute but no longer hot cute, just pilsbury doughboy cute......did i say hot cute? ew, who ever thinks i'm hot needs to have their eyes checked. yes i'm cute, because i do stupid/cute things and say stupid/cute things and i guess i have a not overly repulsive look to me, but hot??? i don't think so. i think you'd agree.
as soon as Jermane gets a good look at me he'll wonder what he was thinking and never talk to me again...not that he has in the first place really.
well the not raining think didn't last long, its already stopped.
I had to do MET (record temps and weather stuff) and i went to the loft to get the sheet to record it down and there was a swarm of big black flies. not a one or two but a SWARM! like the Mummy when he vomis those flies, well, not that many, but thats what it reminded me of. they were all by the window (the only sorce of light) and i tried to open it but i could figure it out adn the more i tried it seemed like there was more flies. do flies have nests like bees? or were they bees desgised as big black flies? do buble bees live in hives or by them selves?? bees are a circular thing, they make bees to collect pollen to make honey to feed bees so they can go and get more pollen for honey for more baby bees. i wonder if the queen bee names them all and love them all the same, with that many kids you'd have a favorite here and there, maybe the nameing of the babies is teh Drones job. wht is his job? is it just fucking the queen so she'll lay eggs? a lay for a lay, sweet job. well all those bees being sisters you'd think there would be more bickering. or maybe thats why they are so made when you ruin their home, well besides the ruining theur home. the bottle all their emotions so that they can concintrate on getting/making honey adn then when something desrubes this all teh emotions are let loose like lightning in a bottle. i wounder whats the deal with killer bees? PMS?? cramps?
i want new shoes, i'm not a big fan of my superman shoes anymore. they are huge adn ugly, but i still like them just not on me, and my Von Dutch are falling apart, teh laces or getting worn down and the rubber is all cracked the canvis near my big toe on my left foot is torn adn makinga hole. i tried to patch it before i left but it was to think for a regular needle and a shoe is an akward shape to try to sew it up on the machine.
ok i think i've gone on long enough with me randim or random thoughs, especailly becasue i can't think of anything else. my spelling is really going down hill, thars just a little worrying













its a bitter sweet symphony
