Top Two Performance Finale: Kalan and Theresa:
The top ten are in the audience! Except for Kalan and Theresa, of course. Judges. Sass looks great, like Ben says.
Theresa! Kalan!
BeachFest 2004, Jon took the idols there. Video clip: Kalan singing Born to be Wild. Stupid sunglasses! I have them, they're pink. Theresa singing Crusin'. Yay she's actually wearing her glasses for once!
After the break.
Back. Theresa won the coin toss, so she's singing "Awake in a dream", the new Idol single. She's crying again!! I sang her Big Band song for my Challenge Choir audition today. Zack says it was half good and half bad, the other judges liked it.
Break. Back.
Kalan Porter - "I can only imagine" by MercyMe. I. Don't. Like. These. Kind. Of. Songs. They're just weird to listen to if you're not a...church...type person...thing. Shane should have sang this. Kalan was cheeeeeeeeeeeeeap! Zack's yelling at him that it was boring.
Theresa Sokyrka - "Come away with me" by Norah Jones. Oooh she scatted! Have to learn that later. Her music messed up, it suddenly dropped down so she didn't know what to do. She keeps doing that thing where she skips a beat and then goes again!! She did it twice in a row, she even knows she does it because she starts laughing, and she did her shoulder thing. The judges all liked her, Jake said that one day Norah Jones will probably be covering her songs, and Theresa's like "Ohhhhhh!" it was so funny. Kim Locke is in the audience too!
Loreal Clip. Kalan and Theresa thank Andrea and Shannon for helping them get this far. Right...they're in the top two because they had their hair and makeup done each week! Even K & T know that people just vote on looks! Sorry.
Break. Back. Beh some hockey player who looks like a bear. Kalan Porter - "Born to be wild". Rawr. It was better than last time. Beh. He has a skull on his shirt. The judges all liked him. Farley says he's the smartest kid on the show ever and Sass disagrees but she says no offence to Kalan. Sassy, I love you, but shut up.
Break. Back. The cast of Instant Star is hanging with Jon. Manoah is below them. Hey Manny! Kalan's dad is above them. Hey Kalan's dad!
Theresa Sokyrka - "Crusin". She was so good!
Break. Back.
Kalan Porter - "Awake in a dream". He's awesome, and Zack says he's going to win.
I'm voting for both for each hour.
Recap: Theresa - "Awake in a dream" "Come away with me" - 1-866-9-IDOL-01
Kalan - "I can only imagine" "Born to be wild" "Awake in a dream" - 1-866-9-IDOL-02

Top 3: Judges choice:
Rawr, Kalan! Get away, Jacob. You suck. Theresa! Judges. Sass looks great.
Jacob Hoggard - "If you don't know me by now" by Simply Red. Ugh, I love this song, don't mess it Hoggard. He sucked, he keeps pausing in between songs. Jake says if people don't vote for him then he's crazy, Farley says he's has good presentation, Sass says something about molehills and mountains. Zack says he can't be himself and he doesn't even know who he is and if he wants it. YEAH!! In your FACE Hoggard!!
Break. Theresa up next.
"What the world needs now". She was really good, she should have done some scat. Farley liked it and so does Sass. Zack didn't. Jake says she can save the world.
Break. KALAN up next!!
Back. "Still haven't found what I'm looking for". EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK he's hot!!! And he was really good. I bet he was singing it to KRISTY, stupid girl!! The judges all say he's gonna win!!! YAY!!
Loreal photo shoot! Break.
"I want you to want me" Jacob. He's such a hyper idiotic freak child. His act it so old, he doesn't even want to be there, he doesn't want to lose his band but he doesn't realize that he already has, and he's also lost the competition. SUCKER!!! He's such a fake. I think I'll work on my French poem now. Good, he's done. The judges liked him.
Break. Theresa up next!
Back. Ben's parents are there and so are Jon's and Jon is mad. I like Ben's mom, she was there when he pulled down his pants last year. His dad is cool, too, old prime minister.
Theresa. "Ready for love". She's not wearing her glasses this time. She was really awesome, so much heart. Zack says he watches the shwo for her and she almost cries, the other judges loves it too.
Back. KALAN up next!
Kalan Porter - "Nature boy". He's just so...oh. Judges all liked it.
Recap: Jacob - 1-866-9-IDOL-01 - "If you don't know me by now" "I want you to know me"
Theresa - 1-866-9-IDOL-02 - "What the world needs now" "Ready for love"
Kalan - 1-866-9-IDOL-03 - "Still haven't found what I'm looking" "Nature boy"
K & T time!! Jakes eating a banana.

I got back from at school at about 5, even though we got out at like 3:30, but that's okay, I'll say why later:
So in the morning I left the house at like 10:45, and then walked up to Royal Oak with my Clarinet Cosima and then I talked with some of my friends at the bus compound, and then I walked around to the front, saw Calum with his friends and screamed and ran into the school. So then I went to go see Mr.Levere and then Mr.Cafley and then Mrs.Sneddon wanted me to wheel a cart of book to her classroom so she told me to put Cosima on top so she fun being wheeled around, and then we (that's me and Cossie) had to take the cart back to the Art room so then I went to see Mr.Butterfield and Mr.Large. Then I went to see Mr.Prescott and then Ms.Robertson but there was this stupid kid who always followed me last year and started doing it again the first day I come back! And then Mrs.Robertson kept asking him to leave because he wouldn't let us talk and then he kept asking her and Mrs.Norris for food and money, what a loser! And then they kept telling him to go away so he was like "Well, REBECCA'S here!" and they were like "She's visiting, get out!" so that was cool. He like, has no friends or food or anything!
So then I walked back home and went to Claremont and found my friends but then had to go away from them to go to class which I only have Laura in but we had to sit alphabetically so that was cheap, I have like 1 friend in my class and she doesn't even sit near me and so everyone is snobs and was ignoring me so it was cheap! But I got assigned my locker and get to put stuff in it tomorrow and I named it after Johnny like he told me to. It's 2:50am there, I hope he had a nice day at school and I hope he named his locker after me like he said he was going to. But I didn't have my lock with me so I couldn't put pictures up but I do have some, and they're cool. There's the one with the Idols on the plane and then I have a new one made by Sarah because my cheap photoshop is being cheap and doesn't work.
My homeroom teacher is nice but she's kinda weird. And my SS teacher thinks she's cool because she can say "Dude" and "Sweet". Beh. Nope, don't try to be k001!! Lol.
My Math teacher is really nice, and I get to sit beside Sandy which rocks! My teacher helped me afterschool with my course changes. But he won't be there for the first week because he has to go to Toronto for a tournament or something.
I got lost trying to find the foods room but then Sarah's sister Kate showed me. I was sitting at the back near the fridge which had it's motor running (Lol Kalan, get your motor RUNNIN'!) so I couldn't hear anything and the teacher kept staring at me probably because she know I couldn't hear a word she was saying. But that class is cheap, I dropped it for French 9E anyways!
And then I got lost looking for dance but then Emily's sister Michelle showed it. I hate dance. I'm only doing it because I have to for Musical Theatre. Most of the girls are in grade 12, and the grade 9's are snobs from last year, so I'm like totally left out except for this one girl who I don't really know but she says she knows me. Beh.
So then after school I went to go see Mrs.Card, my brother's old French teacher who asked me to visit her on the school tour, so then we were talking about my course thing and Canadian Idol and she wants Kalan to win and so she took me down to the course room thing to see Mr.MacNeil but I had to wait first so I met this Chinese guy named Tony Oh. He's in grade 10. NO, I don't like him, I love Johnny. AND I'M NOT A PLAYER!!! Sorry.
So then that all got fixed so then I went back to her and she got me a French teacher who she says I'll love, I was going to go with her but she said this other one called Mrs.Orgen or something was amazing so she made me meet her and she had an overflowing class so she almost said no but then Mrs.Card begged her to and she promised I'd be her star student (right, she's just saying that because my bro was, I'm not like him) so then she said yes. And now she kept waving at me!! Oh well, at least I'm in with SOME people! My homeroom teacher knows Patrick too, she said he's "so sweet" whatever!!! He's mean.
And then I went to the band teacher Mr.Killikelly to ask about guitar and he said since there's no room in my first semester I could get lessons in 2nd semester. Cool.
And then I came home. So tomorrow it's a regular day, I'm looking forward to French. Oh crap. What if Jordan's in that? Oh wait, I think he does Spanish, good, so I might not have to see him till next semester. I didn't see him at all today which was good so I thought maybe he didn't go there but then Shannon said he's in her science class and so I was like oh shoot. Shannon was in my foods class but the teacher's ugly. I hope I don't see Jordan in the hallway or something, he'd probably say hi! NOPE sorry loser, have a boyfriend, and you don't! Wait, of course he wouldn't, he's a guy! Never mind, ya'll know what I mean.
I'm trying to download Jamie Cullum's "All at sea" on Kazaa but I keep getting these 17-26minute songs of scatic! Ugh. It's either that or "More sources needed". I'm gonna more sources you, freak! I've tried like 20 versions.
I'm gonna watch RFR now. I have to get up early tomorrow to get the bus, which I have no idea what time it comes, but I hope Sarah will be on it. I'm going back to Royal Oak on Friday. I'll talk to Calum then. Oh shoot, I forgot to ask him for his Locker Number while I was just on the phone with him. I left him notes last year with Idol people's names on them. I used Diana, Ashley, and Jasmine. I want to do that again this year. I'll phone him on Thursday.

I'm listening to Ashlee Simpson "Pieces of me". I like her singing, but I hate her. She is mean to Hilary Duff. I hate anyone who's mean to Hilary Duff. And she dyed her hair black just so she wouldn't look like Jessica, which basically means she doesn't trust her music to say that she's different.
I'm really excited about school tomorrow. I'm going to get there early so I'll be the first one in the classroom and no losas will be there! But first at like 11am I'm going up to Royal Oak to see Calum and Mrs.Robertson and people, because they get dismissed at like 11:15 and I don't have to go to school till 1:30. Callan from last year is in my class. Laura is in it too, she's allright.
I have to sort out my pictures so I can put them in my locker as soon as I can. I'm using a few from last year, like family ones and Jenny Gear and Guy and Cosima. I need one of Thierry.
Go to http://photobucket.com/albums/v187/JennifuhHudson/th_AAAA.jpg the blonde guy in the corner is my Johnny. He's hot.
I'm going to ask the band teacher at Claremont if he can teach me Guitar. I was playing one at Sarah's house and it was so awesome and she let me name it and I named it Theresa. Hers looked like Theresa's guitar, and it was nice, but I also like this one:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v187/JennifuhHudson/600seriesguitar.bmp
and this one:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v187/JennifuhHudson/NylonSeriesGuitar.bmp
I like the 600 series one better, but they're both nice. They have rentels at Long & McQuade but that involves lots of credit card stuff, so. And plus Mrs.Robertson said to ask Mr.Killikelly.
Now I'm listening to Jewel & Sarah McLachlan "Song for a winter's night". I can yodel now that I've practiced Theresa's version of this song! I can't believe it. I've been trying to do that for like 2 years and it hasn't worked but then she sang this song and then I sang that song and it just happened I'm so happy. I also learned to scat. I was just singing along to "Hello" and usually I stop at her scatting part because I can't do it but this time I just went with it and I did it. Thank you, Theresa! Now if I get a guitar I will owe everything to Theresa Sokyrka.
Now I'm downloading Spice Girls song and singing to the karaoke version of Mariah Carey's "Without You". The voice part keep coming in and it's annoying. Whoa, what was THAT? Um okay this is cheap.
Now I'm listening to Spice Girls "Time goes by". I haven't listened to this song since I left Vancouver. That's because I lost this CD. This is my song to Johnny. Now I'm listening to "Say you'll be there". I can't believe I still know the words to this song. Maybe I'll watch the movie. Now it's "Who do you think you are?" I love this song. It won't let me download, it says it's queued. That means people are trying to download it. Dude, who still downloads Spice Girls except for me? Dude, now they're like ALL queued and I can't get ANYTHING. That's annoying. "Let love lead the way". I'm not sure what album this is from. I think the one I lost. Now "Goodbye" ah no, not good song right now. "If you can't dance" and "Stop" are really good song.
This is the Australian Idol 2 Top 12:
Angie Narayan
Marty Worral
Haley Jensen
Courtney Murphy
Dan O'Conner
Daniel Belle
Amali Ward
Ricki-Lee Coulter
Casey Donovan
Anthony Callea
Emelia Rusciano
Chanel Cole
My favourites that I absolutely love: Marty, Haley, Courtney
The ones that I like: Chanel, Anthony, Ricki-Lee
The ones that are okay: Dan O'Conner, Amali
The ones that I don't like: Emelia
The ones that I absolutely HATE: Angie, Daniel Belle, Casey
Angie got kicked out last night, thank god. She was just...scary. It was so weird watching her, some like gigantic 26 year old who looks 60 and can't dance for beans, just...ugh.
Marty rocks so much. My mom doesn't like him because he has a shaved head. How dumb.
Haley is so pretty and she sounds like Cosima.
Courtney does the whole high thing and he reminds me of Guy except different voice.
Rickey-Lee looks like Cosima, sort of a rip off but she's okay.
Emelia is ugly. Even Jessica Mitchell did a better verison of "If I ain't got you" than she did.
Anthony is really hot and his singing is good except he sang Hoobastank during the Wildcard show and it wasn't very good and he got in for it.
Casey is fat and ugly. Her hair is such a disgusting mess. And she's not that great of a singer either. Sort of like Brandy Callahan except less ugly. They might be the same size, though.
Amali looks and sounds okay. She sort of seems like a snob, though, but I don't know much about her.
Dan O' Conner is sort of ugly, but he sounds okay.
Daniel Belle is SO ugly and he sang such a bad song so badly and he yelled at Dicko. He sucks.
Chanel has a cool style, but not really my type of music. She dresses cool, though. I might get used to her. She might end up being one of my favourites if my 3 leave, I don't know.
The Theme for the first show was Australian Made, like last year, and although I haven't gotten any media yet, I know what they sang:
Chanel: "Green Limousine" by the Bad Loves.
Daniel: "You were there" by The Southern Sons.
Amali: "Emotions" by the Bee Gees.
Ricki-Lee: "Hopelessly Devoted To You" by Olivia Newton-John.
Marty: "When something is wrong with my baby" by John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes.
Casey: "Symphony of life" by Tina Arena.
Angie: "Touch of paradise" by John Farnham.
Anthony: "Heaven knows" by Rick Price.
Emelia: "Just the thing" by Paul Mac.
Dan: "Better" by Screaming Jets.
Hayley: "Weir" by Killing Heidi.
Courtney: "You weren't in love with my" by Billy Fields.
Here's the recap, if you want it: http://au.australianidol.yahoo.com/recaps/sunday_sept_5.html
I'm talking to my best friend Barbara from Vancouver and we're talking about when I could go over there. I said December but then I remembered Johnny's coming back then, so I can't do that.
So then I said a weekend at the beginning of the year sometime and she said that's good. Well, I'm gonna go watch Simpsons now and then Lizzie McGuire and then That's So Raven and then Even Stevens and then Brotherly Love and then Radio Free Roscoe twice and then I'm gonna go to bed.
Whoa.

Results show (I'm doing it because my mom's not here and I don't think she'll come in till later):
Jacob's really starting to bug me. He can't EVER be serious, even when he has to be. Look it's Ben! He looks like a girl. Um...what are those freak things behind him? Bleachers? Um...the voting wheel stopped yesterday at 11:00pm, you freak. Zack. Sass is wearing a nice shirt, yet again. Farley is wearing a freakish tie. So is Jake.
A look back at last nights show. Where is the volume control? Theresa. Kalan. Jason, he loves Farley's hat. Jacob. Theresa again! KALAN!! Oh, he's so hot. Lol Jason again. Jacob singing his cheap song that's MEANT to be a duet. Lol Jason winked, I didn't notice that yesterday.
Break. Wow, we sure got a lot in THAT segment, didn't we?
Back. OOH GROUP SONG!!! Jason wiome on, get happy!" Diana did this song on Big Band Night on AI3. "Someone to watch over me", Theresa! This was Diana's OTHER Big Band song! How ridiculous. She looks nice. Jacob singing some song or other. Something about a kiss to build a dream on. Oh, that would be it. Whoops, I'm smart. Someone likes Theresa alittle too much. Kalan with "You're nobody till somebody loves you". I care, Kalan! Beh he's wearing a purple shirt under his suit! With something red on it, a heart or a strawberry or something. Now all of them finishing it off. Um what was that freak hand movement Kalan?! Now Ben is talking to all of them. Theresa says to scat you just have to feel the music, but she's heard Ben scat and she says he should stick to hosting. But he sucks at that too, doesn't he? Joking.
Now Jon is with all these audience freaks. Now they are all stepping on Jon. Now another clip where they go to Jon's house and try to wake him up. Kalan says into the mic thing "It's your mommy!". Now they are all jumping on him and being martians and playing guitar and wrestling with Kalan as the ref and Jacob is pretending the roof is on fire and being a cop car or something and then they drag Jon down the stairs and feed him while he's asleep and then Jon wakes up and he tells them about his dream which had them doing all the stuff that they were really doing while trying to wake him up, and he says to Kalan "Do you play the drums?" and Kalan's like "No..." and Jon's like "You should man, you were really good in my dream" and you should have seen the way Kalan looked at him it was so funny he was like WHAT is wrong with you you retard!
Break. Oh shoot, this thing has gone on overwrite, so it's messed up at the top where it should say "Jason with Come On Get Happy", just for the record.
Back. Matt Dusk is here singing his song "Two Shots". He's hot, I can't remember who he looks like, though. He's from "The Casino" and he has a CD. He's a big band singer. Which, of course, is why they have him on Big Band Results night. Now Ben asks him idiot questions about when he's going on tour. He asks EVERY guest performer that! Matt Dusk won some CNE Contest thing and that's how he got his start. Now he's singing again "Fly me to the moon". Okay, he's done.
Break. Beh, there's a message on my machine for my mom from some England woman named Alana who said she's calling to see how she is and she'll try back later and thanks for today or something! Beh, my mom has NO idea who she is, my mom doesn't even know anyone here!
Back. Jon Dore. What is with his hair? It's like...deviled. Best and Worst clip showback. The award goes to Marvin Poon and Margaret-Anne Karen or "Almost Paradise". Dude, they sucked! It should have been the "A whole new world" trio, with that cute guy Jordie Houghton!
Results time! Jacob: Overview of songs and judges comment. Jason: Same. He winked again! Theresa: Same. She's wearing a nice shirt. Kind of like Sass's from last night only different, but the straps are the same. I haven't seen her wear her glasses in weeks. I miss them. Kalan: Same. Ben is talking really fast because he needs time! First member is: Going to have to wait until after the break.
Break. Oh, that message was for my dad, not my mom. How does Kevin sound like Susan? Oh wait, I'm deaf, that's how. It's someone he does editing for, and they worked together today.
Back. Jacob is safe. Jason is in the bottom 2 again, darn. The Newfoundlanders had trouble voting last night, their lines were down, which is why I kept getting through. Theresa is the 2nd member. I love them both so much! Zack said something about TV sucks or whatever. Jason is singing "I won't dance". Now Theresa is singing "It's only a paper moon". She scats so fast. She's doing the shoulder thing, I love that, me and my mom do that all the time when music comes on.
Break. Those bleachers were music stands, by the way. It's going to be Jason.
Back. The eliminated contestant is...Jason Greeley. Stupid Newfoundland lines. If it weren't for them, he'd be safe. Now a clip of his journey, and he sings us out with "Easy".

Top 4: Big Band (Musical Standards)
Ooh, nice band. Oron who now? Yeah okay people, stop showing off now.
Theresa! Kalan! Jason! Jacob! Whoa, what a dork much, Jacob!
Big Band history clip.
Judges: Zack wearing leather. You know what, dude, you're not cool! Sass, awesome shirt. Farley. Beh, so ugly with his freak hat! Jake. Nice tie, dude.
Theresa Sokyrka - "It's only a paper moon". Whoa, scat much. I love this song. Yup, she's doing it again. She was good. Jake says we all believe in her. Farley says she's the most in her element. Sass says she's custom made to sing that. Zack says he "dug it". Beh. Who TALKS like that anymore, man?
Break. Back.
Kalan Porter - "Moon River". EEEEK!!! I love this song too! Oooh, he's so...everything. Farley says awesome, Sass says he's impossibly dreamy (SO true), Zack says anyone who doesn't understand Kalan is too jaded to deserve to watch this show (Oooh BURN Mum!!) and Jake likes it too. I am SO voting for him (it's been a while, hasn't it?)
Jason Greeley - "I won't dance". NO WAY!!! I love this song too! This is such a great show. It was different from the RJ Helton (S1) version, but it was still awesome! Sass says it's awesome. Zack says Good Work Bro. Jake says Jason is a big band singer. Farley says he's SO impressed and he tips his hat to him! Yay! Jason says he won't dance because Farley says so. Funny.
Break.
Back. Jacob Hoggard - "Straighten up and fly right". He's dressed like a 50's bartender. I get the 50's, but not the bartender. And ONCE AGAIN, he has his sleeves rolled up like the construction worker that he is, so that sort of wrecks that 50's look he's going for, but whatever. What was that freak muttering in the middle? He made people scream, so it must've been good. Zack says he's a star. They all are. What's your point? Jake says he's going to become a movie star. Great comments on the SINGING, Jakey! Farley says he's an entertainer extraorinair. In a singing competition. Right. I added the last sentence by myself. Jacob just held up four fingers and then had to check to see if that was right. Dumb, much? Just kidding, I love the guy.
Theresa Sokyrka - "Dream a little dream of me" or something, Ben was being stupid. He was pushing Jacob and laughing so I couldn't hear the song title. Now she's wearing a pink dress. Her hair's a little messy, but whatever. She's scatting again. She ended very nicely. I love her "Thank you"'s. Jake says she's inspiring and looks nice. Farley asks her to dance. Sass says something about ice cream and sprinkles and strawberries being Theresa or something. Zack says she needs a vocal coach because she's just a little short of being a great singer. Now she looks like she's going to cry. Don't cry, little hatchet!
Break. Kalan Porter up next.
Back.
Kalan Porter - "The way you look tonight". I love this song too! Guy did this song. And so did John Stevens and Jasmine Trias. Over done, much? No. Farley says some freak thing about his suit.. Sass says something else. Zack gives props. Jake says something about something.
Loreal clip. Jacob's a freak. He's streaking Theresa's hair and he's like "Different strokes for different folks!". Beh.
Break.
Back. Jon Dore. He's playing a saxophone. Ben's kicking him out. You suck, Ben! He's playing so bad!
Jason Greeley - "It had to be you". Sass say's he's swooping. You talk English. Zack said he doesn't excite enough. Jake says his first performance was better. Farley says he likes his interacting with the audience.
Break.
Back. Jacob Hoggard - "Unforgettable". He still looks like a bartender even though he changed his clothes. He was cheap. This is supposed to be a duet song, stupidhead. Zack said something about diverse. Jake says it's fantastic. Farley says something about showmanship. And Sass says it was unforgettable.
Recap: Theresa Sokyrka - 1-866-9-IDOL-01 - "It's only a paper moon"
"Drean a little dream of me"
Kalan Porter - 1-866-9-IDOL-02 - "Moon River"
"The Way You Look Tonight"
Jason Greeley - 1-866-9-IDOL-03 - "I won't dance"
"It had to be you"
Jacob Hoggard - 1-866-9-IDOL-04 - "Straighten up and fly right"
"Unforgettable"
I'm voting for Kalan.

Canadian Idol: Best & Worst of:
Beh. Ben is singing with some horrible freak. Hey, it's Kim Savage. Not the freak, she's just in the room.
Whoa what the heck. Ben and Jon are singing with suits and hats and canes. Fred Durst. Meat? Jon is coughing. Backup dancers. Wearing...sparkly things. Whoa.
Rick Jordan: Something more. Dude, that's Ryan Malcolm's song. This guy's not even hot.
Jake says they don't know they're bad.
Kristen Dohan. She wasn't that bad. I saw her just a minute ago on a re-run tape I was watching before the show. She's actually good. If she took lessons, that would be good.
Christopher Macfarlene. Singing Spice Girls. Right.
Sean Dooling.
Edward Mblahahaljdsflakdjf or something.
Jordan Ford. He looks like Kalan, except ugly.
Some ugly people.
Beh Julia. Nice hat.
Some more ulgy people.
Break. This is a pretty cheap show!
Back. Ugh, Bonnie.
I like Ian. God Zack, calm down. Ugh, Wes, bad memory.
Ugh, Wes and Bonnie are on the stage singing "I got you babe". Whoa, Wes looks hot. Wes is actually pretty good, Bonnie is just horrible. Break.
Gary Beals album promo. I have to get that.
Back. CECIL!!! It's raining blood? That's not right.
Alison. She's okay. Julie. Ugh. Sarah James. And some girl who likes Jake. Ugh, Shelly. Katie. I like her. Didn't she make the top 100?
UGH, Lindsay Chief Calf. WHAT A STUPID NAME!! Nicole Dye. Please die. Kenia Del Toro. Another stupid name. Oh god no, Slyvie. I hate it when sucky people hold notes, it sucks. I think Farley likes her, he keeps staring at her shirt. That's because it's like a black leather bikini top with a black see-through lace shirt over it.
Johnny Rockstar and Sylvie are on the stage singing "That's what friends are for". He looks freakish, I'm surprised he's not from Newfoundland the way he's dressed! Sylvie sucks. She looks like Fantasia with hair. HAHA!!
You get to vote for your favourite duet at www.idol.ctv.ca. I would have voted for Wes and Bonnie, but Bonnie just makes me mad, she thinks she so great and she's ugly.
Break. When will this garbage show be OVER?! In like half an hour, great. I can't BELIEVE I have to watch this, let alone recap it. It's called "The BEST and worst of Canadian Idol" not "The Best OF the worst". Shouldn't they should be showing some good people too? Like that really good hot guy that they showed in the promo for this, that guy who sounded like Shane only better and hotter, and Shane is pretty hot.
Back. Joel, ew. I remember Sandra Pitts. She was too loud. Marvin, I knew he was going to be on there. He's that Japanese guys who sings Dan Hill. NOT Mikey Bustos. Lol Jake ate a bad lunch. This girl is singing Madonna. She's good, but her dancing sucks. That was in Montreal. I remember Sass's shirt. Ugh god, Shira Katz. I would hate to be that ugly. She's making up some cheap CI song. Some fatty called Margaret. Um...you don't wear a shirt like that when you're that fat. Even Zack says it's gross. Eric Cartman? Oh, Carmen. Whoops.
Marvin Poon and that fat girl Margaret-Anne Karen. Knocking on Heaven's door. Great.
Break. I have a headache. I need asprin.
Back. Hey, it's that Atm Muttakin! I can't swallow my asprin. It just keeps sticking to the roof of my mouth.
Jordie Houghton. THAT'S THE HOT GUY!! Farley even agrees that he's good. How stupid of them. That guy was so cute, and he was so good.
Beh Jonathan. He's kind of hot. But not as hot as my Jonathan. And before some Spanish person who told Zack his pants were too tight.
Ugh, i remember that guy, I just watched im on the re-run. Whoa, it's Willie White's dad. She wasn't bad. Ew, is that even a guy? What a freak, he's copying that other guy! It's a Whole New World and all the cheap people who sang it. Zack says the words "Tell me Princess" are now banned from his household.
Oooh "Whole new world" trio. That blond guy, a Chinese guy, and JORDIE!! He's so cute!!! When I saw Jordie in the promo, I thought they were going to show him in the good part. But there WAS no good part! Hey, it's that Joel dancing freak loser guy! Since when is flapping like a bird dancing? Rick and Thomas were the other guys. Rick Thomas. Isn't that a person!
Break. good, only 5 more minutes. My head still hurts, I swallowed the asprin but it's not working! I want to Johnny to be here. And no, not Johnny Rockstar, Johnny Monson. Way to let your palm pilot get soaked, genius.
Back. Time to vote for my favourite duet. It has to be the trio, Jordie is so cute! Now Ben and Jon are singing again. Now they all come out and sing. Maybe THIS is why I have a headache. Ben IS NOT this bad of a singer. I've heard him sing normally before. Now Kat singing "A Dream is a wish your heart makes". She's good, they're using it as a song for all the clips.
FINALLY IT'S DONE!!

I'll do Wednesday's and Thursday's show together (sorry that it's late, I was at my friends house)
Performances: Summertime Hits:
Shane Wiebe - "Can't take my eyes off you" by Frankie Vallie and the Four Seasons. That was THE worst thing I have EVER seen in my life, he was singing Lauryn Hill's version! Who DOES that, man? It sucked. Guy was like a trillion times better. Ugh. He even messed up the words at the beginning! The judges thought it was okay.
Kalan Porter - "Long train runnin'" by Dobie Gray, or someone like that. I know this song. He sang okay, but he looked like a retard. When he sang "Without love" he had his tongue hanging out and this disgusting look on his face so it looked like he was gonna barf. The judges didn't like it. At the beginning of his clip when he was at the Toronto PNE thing he was holding these disgusting chicken things and he held it up to the camera and was like "You want one?". Beh.
Jason Greeley - "Bad Case Of Loving You". He ran everywhere, even through the audience! He was so funny. I voted for him most. I can't remember what the judges said. Something about generic bar rock idol or something.
Jacob Hoggard - "I don't want to miss a thing" by Aerosmith. Everyone has sung that song, so it wasn't that different. Billy Klippert was better. Jacob always holds on to the back of his pants while he's singing, he looks retarded. The judges liked him. Farley says he will recognize Jacob's voice in his sleep. Ew.
Theresa Sokyrka - "Cruisin'" by Dobie Gray. Sorry. If I don't know who it's by, it's by Dobie Gray. I know this song though, I've heard it a billion times on my radio station. She had a flower on her microphone. She was awesome. Zack said she's his favourite singer left on the show. Her and Jason SO like each other. Just look at this pic http://www.ctvmedia.ca/images/0c8v6084.jpg
Thursday:
Results show starts with Ben being witty: "Who is the real thing, and who is a summer fling?" Hmm. And; "Who sang the right notes, and who didn't get the votes?" Um...Ben has plans to be a poet when he retires.
We start the weirdest group performances ever with Theresa singing Walking on Sunshine, and the boys running around the audience. Shane and Jason don't appear to be having as much fun out there as the High Five Duo, Jacob and Kalan. Those two are running about, mugging for the cameras, all that stuff.
Back on stage, Jacob and Kalan smash into each other. This is fun! Then, Jason starts singing Summer in the City. Fun over, kids! The Grimmace has arrived. Kalan goes next, looking not quite as ill as he did last night. I must admit, I am waiting for any song where he tries to force out a word, just to see if his "I'm seriously about to lose my lunch here" look was just yesterday. He just looks like he is trying too hard. Poor Hobbit-Boi.
Then Jacob, who can enjoy anything, it seems, as long as he has company. I love the outfit too....red shoes. Cool!
Shane now does the best part, which is Sunshine of Your Love. This song suits his voice. Now why didn't he do this song yesterday? I am starting to like Shane.
Ok then they all sing, then the break.
I noticed that Ben and half the judges seem to be wearing black. Ominous!
Then Gary Beals. Well actually, a zillion dancers on the stage, I thought one of them was white, but maybe not. All dressed in white, as is the Beals when he comes out finally. His "partner" in the dance is some woman who is about a foot taller and ten years older and who is wearing a retarded shirt with air-conditioned underarms. How freakshow is that! He mumbles on about "Sunny Tays" and I don't quite know what else, it's almost a surprise when he sings two words in a row that I can understand. All kinds of choreography, shades of every video going back 2o years. Can't he just SING like Billy did? I wonder if we will have the same silliness when Ryan is on the show.
Ben tells Gary how wonderful he is, I think how short he is. He can at least carry on a conversation without talking about throwing up, so I have to give him that over Billy.
Break. Now...the worst group song ever. Beach Boy's tribute, starting with I Get Around. This should be good, Shane gets the high notes. He looks like he knows this is the silliest thing ever, and he is just going to do it anyway, and have fun. Jacob goes next, and he winds up on the floor dancing. Jason looks like he does not want to be with these idiots! Theresa and Kalan are going all low profile here. Then Theresa sings Wouldn't it be Nice. Jason is acting suspicious here. First, I thought he was half ignoring here because he doesn't like the group stuff. Then I saw the Airplane photo, where she is all curled around his leg. I think he doesn't know how to pretend that he likes her. Seeing as how he does and all. Background music seems a bit too loud, her voice is disappearing again.
Then we get Good Vibrations, with Kalan starting out the singing. Then they all supposedly sing the really high notes. I think Jacob is faking it. They all move downstage, Jason gets to sing the next part and his mike cuts out. At this point they all get confused, as the next high notes come along, followed by the next line, which they all start singing at different times. That was a "watch it many times" part, because it was so bad as to be very funny. Especially Jason, who is trying to act like nothing happened. Jacob and Shane seem delighted that it is all so totally dumb, and Kalan looks like he about to get in trouble with the teacher. Theresa is the only one who sails through like it didn't happen. Even the judges are laughing .
This is still only halfway through the show, so they fill the rest with Jon Dore singing about Monday's Best and Worst show. And a clip show. More clips, this time about the judges. What they really do for a living. Oh and that Zack went to a private school. Cool! What do we get next week? Ben and Jon and their high school yearbooks perhaps.
Finally, results. And it will be bottom two only. First member...Jason. (ohyesohyesohyesohyes...)
Break. Matt Dusk next week, oh who cares. Oh no. Jacob has his coat on. He is prepared to sing Everything, where he throws it on the floor.
Theresa...safe.
Kalan...safe.
Another break. I heard that Shane and Jacob went over to Jason in the break, before they knew who would join him. Ben should be hung up by his feet for a week. He said "Jacob, I'm sorry. You are safe". Which gave Shane just enough time to imagine he was safe before he found himself in the bottom two.
Long versions of each of their songs. Jason stays on the stage this time, Shane remembers the words. In the end though, it is Shane who gets sent home. He does a sing out of "Angel" to his wife, who is singing along too.
Theresa and Kalan are puddles of tears as usual, Jacob forces himself to smile, but after the song he is the first to hug Shane for about ten minutes, and he comes away all teary too. Jason goes all big brothery and tries to console Kalan. There...another sad ending. I have towonder, would they all collapse if it was Jason? I have a feeling we will never know. Grrrr.

Saturday, August 21, 2004
So this is what happened since Thursday:
On Wednesday night I told my brother that I would go, but then he went to bed and then I kept thinking that I shouldn't so then I decided not to, so I was going to leave a note on his door before I went to bed, but then I went to bed and accidentally fell asleep right away and then Tim woke me up at like 8 the next morning and he was like all excited about going so I didn't want to disappoint him so I just left my mom a night saying what to say to John if he phoned and a PS saying GO THERESA SOKYRKA. And she's safe, so that's awesome. And ELoser is gone, so that's even better.
So then we drove the car up to the bus stop and then parked it and got on the bus to the ferry and went on the ferry, then we got to Tsawwassen and had to take like 50 more buses before we got to Martha's house, but then we did. And then I put my stuff upstairs and went outside to play with Hannah & her friends because Martha was at work. But then that was boring so then I went for a walk with this guy named Tyler who was a loser.
And then me and Tim and the kids went to the library and I read some more of "Charlie Bone and the Time Twister" which I was reading at Royal Oak but then I had to return it for the summer and I haven't gotten to read any of it since but I found it there and I read it, and I made friends with this 12 year old chinese girl named Irene, and I got her to read the first Charlie Bone book "Midnight for Charlie Bone" which I have read and so has Sandy, and she took it out. Sandy's read all of them.
So then we went to the park for a little while, and then went home and I watched Canadian Idol, all of it, so I was glad. The group song was pretty cheap, though! Lol, Theresa and her mandolin.
And then I phoned Jonathan. When I told him I was in Vancouver he was like "Damn! I wanted to do something." which I totally KNEW was going to happen if I went, the magic fortune telling penny told me so. And then he said that I was in Vancouver perpetually and I wa slike shut up! He even phoned my house in Victoria at 7pm, which is EXACTLY when the penny told me he was going to. I didn't listen to it. I seriously will next time. Stupid me. Never underestimate the power of the fortune telling penny, seriously. You'll regret it.
So anyway, I said about how I didn't know if he was going to feel the same when he came back and he's like "You got my number. I couldn't ditch you now if I tried, and I don't want to." like he meant that if I hadn't have gone up to him at the mall we never would have happened, because he didn't see me at the mall, he had his back turned. Not purposely, and besides, I was on the other side leaning against the wall! So then I was like "Why not?" and he's like "Because." and I was like "Because what?" and he's like "Because I like you. A lot. Whole bunches!" so then I laughed because I love it when he says retarded things like that. So I said about how ELoser got kicked off, and then I said about how I was trying to be okay even though it wasn't good (him leaving) and he's like "I think it's okay, and good...except for the HORROR of someone being voted off Canadian Idol." and I was all like shut up it wasn't horrible it was good. But then he said that he promises we'll do something in the first two days that he's here in December. He says that when he comes back we'll pick up where we left off. And then just before he had to go I asked him what person he was to me and he's like "Well I don't know, why don't you tell me?" and I was like "I asked you first" and he's like "Well, I counter-asked your first asking with a second asking" and I was like "That's not fair!" and he's like "Yeah well, LIFE'S not fair, get used to it" and I was like "Well, what if I counter asked your second asking with a third asking?" and he's like "You can't do that. It's against the rules." and I was like "The rules of what?" and he's like "The rules of counter asking and asking twice!" which I thought was just SO retarded, but it was funny. So then I was like "Well then, maybe I'll just tell you what I HOPE you think of me as" and he was like "Okay, what do you HOPE I think of you as?" and I was like "I hope...that you think of me as your...girlfriend" and he's like "I do...and I hope that you think of me as your...boyfriend" and I was like "I do." so then he had to go and then I was crying.
But then the next morning (Friday) I got up and went to Playland and went on rides and stuff which I'll tell you about tomorrow and then went home and went to sleep with Hannah in her room. Martha told me to phone Jonathan to see when he was leaving on Saturday because I forgot to on Thursday night but when we got home it was way to late because we mised the bus.
And then Tim woke me up this morning (Saturday) and was like "We have to leave...in like 20 minutes." so then I was totally like well get me the phone because I won't have time to phone him at our house so I phoned John at like 8:45 and it was so funny because we had both just woken up so we couldn't really talk properly and then he kept pretend snoring in the phone at me so I was pretending to be mad even though I wasn't and then I was downstairs and then I was hitting Tim with a pillow because he was making fun of me so then I went and sat on the stairs and I was saying about how he might totally like forget and he's like "Like I could forget you!" and I was like "Why not?" and he's like "You're too memorable." and I was like "How?" and he's like "Because, you're completely nuts and you yell at people on the streets!" so then I went back upstairs and I saw Hannah's poster of all the Disney Princesses and I told John about it and I was like "Which one is your favourite?" and he's like "What a stupid question I am SO not answering that!" and then I was like "NO, tell me" and he's like "That's dumb, let's move on!" and I was like "Okay fine then, there was something I wanted you to say, but whatever, if you're too dumb then that's fine!" and then he was like "Okay, what are my options?" and so then I told him and he was like "I'm not answering the question unless you're one of the options" and so then I was like "I don't have to be." and so then he's like "They're all second to you" which was TOTALLY what I wanted him to say so I'm glad he got it.
And then I was like "But I totally messed it up last time, when I said that stupid thing at the end" and he's like "Well, there was a lot of stupid things, which one?" and I was like "You're SO mean!" and he's like "I'm kidding!" so then I was like "That one that I wouldn't say what it was and I accidentally said it was something else, you know what I'm talking about?" and he's like "Yes." so then I was like "BUT there's no point in talking about it because you don't even care!" and he's like "Yes I do." and I was like "No you don't!" and he's like "Yes I do. I'd show you, but I don't think I can exactly do that right now, if I could then I'd prove you wrong, you can hold me to that promise next time."
And then I said about how I have no significant item of rememberance and he was like "Name your new locker after me, and I'll name my new locker after you" and I was like "Okay, but what are you gonna say to your friends when they ask you why you're talking to your locker?" and he's like "They won't ask, they already know that I'm completely nuts" so then I was like "So what are you gonna say to them when they ask you what you did?" and he's like "I'm gonna be like...went to the mall, bought video games, played video games, went to Whistler, met gorgeous women and got them out on dates!" and I was like beh how freakish! And then he said about how he liked me more and I was totally like no you don't and then I was like "I still don't get WHY you like me, I don't get what you see" and he's like "Because you're you"
And suddenly I was like "In Ukranian, Sokyrka means 'Little Hatchet' " and he was like "Wow, that was random." and then he said "I've got something to give you. It's in England, I've had it for ages, I've been saving it...and it's something that I think you'll really like" and just before we got off the phone he's like "You're very precious to me" and that made me be like oh my god. And then he had to go. And then I went too. But then we missed the 11am because I was on the phone and Martha was being dumb or something and John was leaving at like 2pm or going on the 2pm plane or being at the airport at 2pm to get a plane, he had no idea, he was too tired to make sense. He said he cared because he was tired. He also said he cared about me and my stomache ache.
I don't think it'll be THAT long till December, only like 111 days. And then there's school and stuff, so it'll be fine. Gary Beals' album is out, and he will be on CI next results show, FYI.

Results show time, finally! They do the intro stuff, then it's the idols playing instruments. So first we get Jason on guitar, and it's some railroad song that I have forgotten. Kalan is fiddling (violining?). Theresa has a mandolin. Elena on keyboard. Jacob looks real comfy with his gee-tar. The audience starts clapping, Aus Idol style. Oh, there's Shane with a guitar..did he get to sing yet? Did I forget to mention that they were singing? Um. Ok, now Shane sings. After Kalan and before Jason (with his new deep voice and accent aimed at keeping the easterners voting). Shane is pluck-pluck-pluck at his guitar, but Jacob faces Kalan like they were doing duelling banjos.
Ben's t-shirt looks old and faded, kinda like Mr Lightfoot who comes on the stage and babbles his gratitude. He looks all happy though. Yay for Canadian Icons!
Break. Then Ben yabbers, then the judges say how they like their musical idols, and Farley is on about Starsearch moments. Sass likes everyone, but Zach seems to have changed his mind about something after he saw the show on telly. He isn't saying what though. More ads now. Then, Billy! YAY!!!
Back with a montage of Billy from last year, with "If You Could Read My Mind" playing. Billy version. How clever! Then he comes on and sings that Waiting for the Sun to Shine song from his cd. Title? Um. Ya know, that one. He dances about and yells a lot and the crowd screams and his band looks very old (where are ya Benny??) and boy, does he sing a long version of this song. Then Ben comes on and hands him a towel (Ryan and Ruben, anyone????) and they both keep talking at the same time. Hee! Then I remeber Billy is better if he doesn't talk too much. Billy goes away and hits Ben on the head with the towel on his way out.
Break, then back with Jon Dore being so dumb I am not wasting the time to type it up. Just not funny.
Finally, the idols are on stage. They show the Queens' U guy as usual. They all yabber. Then we get a Debra Byrd montage, where they all say how great she is and I notice that when Shane speaks, he sounds like a little girl. Byrd is in the audience, having a cry. Perhaps we are eliminating her instead this week.
The judges all agree that Elena will be sent home. Then we suddenly switch to the idols and Ben is recapping the judges' comments from last night, but nobody is being told if they are safe.They all look a bit worried, except Shane, who laughs as usual. Hmm. More ads, then we find out.
Oh and it's rapid-fire. Kalan-safe. Jacob-bottom 3. Theresa-safe. Then Ben does some weird thing, so I start out thinking there are 4 in the bottom 3, or maybe 2. Elena and Shane are the other two.
Zach complains about regional voting. Does that mean you, Jason? Zach also says Jacob shouldn't be there. Jake would send Elena back to safety.
Oh no! Shane is safe. Jacob and Elena. They are both going to sing their songs. I bet Jacob goes home, Zach was mad like this when Kaleb got the boot. They sing, but I don't wanna listen. I hate that version of Sundown, and I have to wonder if he did it on purpose. Weird.
Finally...Elena is out. That was too close.The Queens guy holds up a sign that says "robbed". Had that with you all the time in case you needed it, did ya? Shuddup, Queens' guy. Hope we don't see you again.
A bit of a chat, then another sing out. No tears till after the song, then they all fall to peices as usual, and it's mad hugs all round, including for Jabob, who is still there! Like Billy said, coming in third is good. I hope Jacob gets that far. This wasn't a nice results show. Except no more Elena. It was a great results show!
Byeee! (from your Thursday CI stand-in).

Top 6 show - Gordon Lighfoot Night (Who rocks)
Whoa, scary people outside the John Bassett Theatre much. Good, now we're inside. Hey, Ben, sup. Yes Yes, Kalan will win, shut up! It's not a REAL competition now that Kaleb's gone!! Sorry. Yes, I know what it feels like to lose my favourite, and I AM a fan of Kaleb Simmonds! Elena. Jason! Jacob! Shaney! Theresa! Kalan! That is the order they shall go in. Judges: Jake...ooh new suit! Beh, Farley. Sass looks cool. Beh, Zack's shirt looks like Kalan's from British Invasion night. Oh no wait, it looks like Josh's suit from his elimination night. Well, it's a jean jacket, but it sort of has the same material. Whatever. Now Gordon Lightfoot background thingy. He almost died. Wow. My favourite song by him is "Sundown". TWOP say Kalan is singing that. He better do good with that. He's in the audience. He seems to find it hard to stand up. Poor Gordon.
Elena Juatco - "Early Morning Rain". She's sitting on the stool of seriousness. She looks different. I can't hear her very well. Oh, there we go. This is a good song. She yodelled, which I like, but it was still just okay. That's a compliment from me. Jake says it was captivating. Farley says a few weaknesses, but he agrees with Jake. Sass says she was impressed by...something or other, I wasn't listening. Zack says he had no issues with it. In other words, it was okay, like I said. Ben says it was pretty. Meh, I guess. Ugh, your lines suck Ben! "If you could read my mind, you'd know we have to take a break now"? Seriously. I wonder who's going to sing that song? Maybe Jason. That would be a good Jason song.
So anyway, like Ben said, commercials. The stupid landlord came to the house right when Elena came on so I almost missed the song title, not that it matters that much except that I need it for this recap and my number list that I have beside me. Back. IT'S LOU!!! LOU PAMONTI PLAYS THE PIANO IN THE INTRO CLIPS!!! I missed that guy SO much, it's so awesome to see him! I was so sad after the top 32 ended, I thought I'd lost him forever!
Jason Greeley - "Rainy day people". I'm a rainy day person, he's singing about me! Ha, I wish. But what he's singing is true, that IS what rainy day people are like, I love being one. This is a cool song, too. He's good, he's singing deeply. In both ways, voice and emotion. He's cool! Farley says perfect song and comfort zone. Sass mumbles something about next time but great job! Zack says it looked like Jason was uncomfertable he found it really b-b-b-b-boring. Jake says Zack is confusing boredom with comfort. I agree. GO JASON GREELEY!
Commercials. Jacob Hoggard up next. Whoa, that guy looks like John Michael from WB Superstar. Air wick, eh? Sorry. Lol, diet pepsi van. Mmm, excel mints. My mint moment would be to go out with Jonathan and make it so that he didn't have to leave. Back.
I don't WANT to see the losers in the streets and Jon Dore! Who names their kid, Tyson? Stupid name. Unicorn parks and sugar before bedtime. Right.
Jacob Hoggard - "Sundown". OH MY GOD!! DON'T mess this up, Hoggard, or I will seriously kill you. He's singing it too low. He sings "Sun" too low, it's meant to be higher, I should know, I listen to this song all the time. Now he's singing it okay. He's wearing a little too much makeup, but he stepped up near the end in his rock thing. I feel that there are some songs that can't be rocked and need to be sung in their regular way, but whatever, it's Jacob. Sass liked it. Zack said it sucked, but he's glad Jacob tried to sing like him. Jake says it's a different version than usual. Okay, then. Did Farley just say he stinked? Lol Ben. Ew, how gay, Jacob just...never mind. He was better last week. I think I would have liked it if Kalan sang it, but whatever.
Commercials. The stage backdrop looks different than ususal, it's more...red. Family plan from Rogers Wireless. Beh, wine gums. NOW I get that advert! Home hardware. Beh, put a cloud in your shoe, right. Wal-Mart...3 Musketeers. Okay, then. I really hope Theresa and Kalan bring some good to this show, because it hasn't been that great so far. Beh, Ronnie Hawkins. CTV News @ 6. Back.
Shane Wiebe - "The way I feel". NOW I know who he looks like, TRAVIS from RFR, of course! They look exactly the same, except Travis has slanted eyes and blond hair, but the faces are identical. Sorry I'm not commenting on the performance much, but there's not much to say. Ooh, yodel. Nice. Ooh, another yodel, even nicer! Ooh, yet another one, he's on a roll now! He looks sad. But it looks like he started shaving again, so props to him on that one. He is HOT! Zack says it was a really lovely performance on Shane's part. Jake says Shane can sing anything. Okay. Farley says...a bunch of weird rhyming stuff about Wiebling and wobbling but not falling down. Beh. Sass says she's changed the way she feels about him. Song title, much? Ben says this is what Shane is like when he gets a little dirty. Beh.
Loreal clip. I hate fake tanning things. They're either for people who are too lazy to go out into the sun or who don't have time or who are sensitive. With the idols, I know which case it is. Commercials. I'm talking to my sister Melissa on the phone right now. Back. Ronnie Hawkins is in the audience, beh.
Theresa Sokyrka - "Song for a winter's night". She's been the best all night. Zack says her throat was better. I missed the other judges comments, sorry. I'm on the phone, like I said.
Commercials. Back.
Kalan Porter - "If you could read my mind". EEEEK!!! Sorry, I love this song. He is so SEXY! Rawr. He was awesome, once again him and Theresa were the best. Well last week it was him and Theresa and Kaleb, but shut up. The judges all liked it. Nuclear explosion...lol Zack. Lol Ben.

Jonathan's in Whistler right now. He's coming back on Thursday, I just talked to his grandparents about that. Like I KNEW he was in Whistler, because he told me, but I just wasn't sure what day he was getting back and when he was going back to England, but they told me: He's coming back to VICTORIA on Thursday, and going to back to ENGLAND...on Saturday. Yeah. That, honestly, sucks. It's just that I've barley even gotten to spend some...oh crap. Thursday. Saturday. That's when I'm supposed to be in Vancouver. Oh great, this is just SO friggin' GREAT, isn't it. I don't know what to do. This is probably going to be my ONLY time to go to Vancouver and Playland before school starts again, but it's definitely my LAST time to see and talk to Jonathan. DAMN IT! Why...does this...have..to happen...to me? Ugh. It's bad enough Kaleb's gone! I seriously don't know what to do.

Group performance...how much did we miss? stupid show must have started on time. Jacob looks um very good. Kalan still has the layered look. Elena tries to look snazzier than Theresa. She fails.
Jacob is making fun of Lionel Ritchie. Ha! LR has to run away to the other side of the stage. Judges look bored, except Jake, who is bobbing his head like the Geico lizard. Oh and they have the camera stuck right behind some girl, so all you can see is her head. Good audience management there, people!
[moan] Now LR sings his song that he wrote for his wife, though he could just go back home to her and his boys and quit impressing us with how emotional he is [/moan]
Break. My guess? Shane, Jason, Elena bottom three. Jason goes back first, Shane goes home. Can we just send Elena home now? She bores me.
Theresa...looks worried...but she's safe.
Jason...(please please please!)...safe. Gah.
Kalan...(smiley and chewing his lip)...safe.
Uh-oh. By the way, Ben looks like a hospital orderly tonight.
Kaleb...bottom three.
Shane...looks like he thinks it's him...smiley....and bottom three.
Elena and Jacob after the break. I like how they always leave Jacob till the end. Part of the MAP deal, maybe?
Jacob looks sad. Elena smiling. YAY! Jacob is safe.
Judges opinions...
Jake...wafffles. No clue what he meant.
Farley...step up, out, let loose, blah blah. Then they can yell at you for not doing what they liked before.
Sass...tells them to think about what they do. Thanks, teacher.
Zach...goes on about how good Kaleb is. Hmmm. Wonder if that was a huge hint?
Shane is safe. My my! Can't stand Kaleb, but I don't want him gone. He is at least a bit different.
Ads. Oreo cookies. I want some. Back.
OK, so it's Kaleb. Pity that. The others look kinda sad, except Kalan who is smiling like an idiot, but I think he just likes the sing-out. Well, I guess Kaleb can just go back to his band or whatever. And hopefully for his fans (like the webpage owner here) he can get a record deal BEFORE everyone is saying Kaleb who?
Next week..Gordon lightfoot. Poor Jacob!

Top 7 show - Lionel Richie:
Recap of Josh being eliminated, that was horrible. Kalan, Theresa, Shane, Kaleb, Elena, Jason! Judges intro. Josh is sitting beside Jacob's girlfriend. Now a Lionel Richie intro background thingy.
Kalan Porter - "Still". He was good, he stares so much like Jona and it kills me. Jake says it was his best on the show, Farley says he's a Sex Symbol Superstar. Sass says he's gone from good boy to dream boy. He was always dream boy to me. Zack said it was naked and real. Right. How freakish! Ben made fun of his shoes. I like Kalan's shoes! I also like his checkered shirt thing. It's hot. And it's a nice shirt. I hate Kalan's girlfriend, she's ugly. Well she's not, but still.
Commercials. Back.
Theresa Sokryka - "Hello". Whoa, she scatted at the end. That was different. She was awesome, she's so pretty I love her shirt! Good, Zack didn't yell at her. The other judges liked her, so that's good. Ben says he can scat. Theresa says she doesn't believe him. That is so me and Jona. What? Whatever, shut up.
Shaney Wiebe - "Angel". He was okay, I just wish he would shave again, he looks like a freak old man. Sass and Zack liked him. Jake says it was an uptempto song. It was NOT! Farley says Shane nailed it. Whatever! I just thought it was okay. Beh, Ben is being retarded.
Commercials. Back.
Kaleb Simmonds - "Truly". He yodelled and sang highly, I've been waiting for that for a LONG time, since "Tears in heaven". They judges all say he's amazing. Kaleb called Sass beautiful, that's so sweet I love him!! Ben says he takes longest to get to the stool. That's true, he does. Awww, Kaleb! Sorry.
Commercials. Back.
YES JON IS HERE! He's wearing his "Kiss the Dore" apron, I love that thing! He wore it on the clip in the group 3 results show. Now he's giving people burgers. And he has a stomache ache. Now they're rolling e clip. They're playing badminton or tennis, I can't tell. They're in the pool. They're making desert. Kalan makes a fish out of jelly. Shane makes a car. Jon makes a Canadian Idol sign.
Jacob Hoggard - "Brick house". I KNEW HE WAS GOING TO SING THIS! Sorry I didn't say. Lol he looks so freakish with his red leather sideways hat thing like mine and his weird shirt and pants, he's so funny! The judges hated him except for Sass. I loved him, he's got my vote!
Eloser Juatco - "Fancy Dancer". I knew that too. Holy crap, what is she wearing. She didn't suck as much as usual, but she still sucked. And that hairstyle? Not working for you, girl, sorry. And that belt? Ugly! And that skirt? Pretty cheap, too! The only good thing was her boots, but it kind of made her look like a s***.
Jason Greeley - "Easy". YES I LOVE THIS SONG! It's my favourite Lionel song.
Recap: Kalan Porter - 1-866-9-IDOL-01 - "Still"
Theresa Sokyrka - 1-866-9-IDOL-02 - "Hello"
Shane Wiebe - 1-866-9-IDOL-03 - "Angel"
Kaleb Simmonds - 1-866-9-IDOL-04 - "Truly"

I'm voting for Jacob and Jason and Kaleb and Theresa. And Kalan.

It's like 7:08pm and I'm just waiting for...I have no idea. Oh wait yeah, for Jona to phone. I talked to him earlier. For like 2 hours. It was cool. He said nice stuff to me. Like he was pretending he hated me and then he said he was kidding and then I was like "Well then what do you feel?" and he's like "I feel very much, it's undescribable" and then I said about how sometimes when people look at you you just feel something so, oh my god, and then I said about how when he looked at me and it was like oh my god. And then he was like "So you like it when people look at you?" and I was like "Yeah" in that kind of way and he was like "So who's your favourite person you like to have look at you?" and I was like "I think you know" and he was like "Yeah, I think I do too, but I just want to hear you say it" in that kind of way and so then I was like "Well...I think it's you" and he's like "That's what I was hoping...because if you had said your clarinet, I would've had to hang up on you" and I was like "I don't LIKE my Clarinet, she's my FRIEND!!" and he's like "Well, I don't know!" and I was like "Oh my god you think I'm one of THOSE people don't you?" and he's like "Nah, I'm just kidding" and then I was asking him again if he would find someone else and he's like "No, not unless it's like a really really hot model, or someone really rich" and then I was like oh my god and he's like "I'm KIDDING, seriously!" and then when I was going through my locker pictures he kept copying me and saying seriously because he says I say seriously a lot and I do, and that's also the reason why he said he feels very much even though that makes no sense because that's what I said. I just finished watching RRF, episode "Bad Boy" where Robbie pretends to be a gangster to impressed the new girl, who is played by Skye Sweetnam. It's about the 3rd time I've seen it, it's pretty cool.
I also asked Jona why he thought I liked him and he's like "Because you think you think I'm cute?" in that kind of way and I was like "Yeah" in that kind of way, if ya'll know what that way is. And then I was like "I'm just looking at my Canadian Idol poster, and some of the guys are really hot" and he's like "Is one of them me?" and I was like "No, I'm sorry" and he's like "Oh DAMN, that sucks!" and then I told him he was gay with himself and he said that's not even possible and then so I said that I thought he was gay and he said he wasn't so I was like "What's stopping you from being gay?" and he said me. And then I said about how if some guy asked me out like when I went back to school that I would say no I asked if he would do that and he said yes so I said why and he's like "Because you're here." And now CI is on so I'll talk more about what he said later.

I should seriously go to bed soon, BUT I don't want to, SO...I won't. I'm just sitting here on MSN talking to Sandy Lau, who is MY best friend in the WHOLE world, she's awesome, seriously, she's just the best, I can tell her anything. Now she's asking me how Calum is. He's a loser, that's how he is, don't ask why, I just don't care anymore. Oh, and I'm listening to THIERRY, as usual.
Jona phoned at like 9pm or after or something, but I was at the observatory writing out our names in Hieroglyphics because they had these stamp things with the symbols on them so when I saw it I freaked and spent like 50 hours there. Okay well, like AN hour, but whatever.
I love Jona. He's just so...different. And the other day when I got really nervous at the end because I was thinking about something, and I had my arms around my knees and my hair falling over my face so I couldn't see him and I had my face pressed against my knees and then without realizing I started rocking back and forth and it was disturbing him and so he kept nudging me and being like "Come on now, stop it, you're making me nervous" and then when I moved my hair out of my face he would be like sort of leaning over to look at me and then his eyes are so totally like blue and even though he wears glasses they're still like totally sparkling at me and it's just so...oh my god. We get along really well, like we laugh all the time and stuff, and usually when we try to make eye contact with each other we start laughing but that time it was just...like we actually looked into each others eyes and it was just like...whoa. Because his eyes showed that he like actually cared and it's just that I haven't seen that in a long time. And his caring seems to be and mean more than anyone else.
And it's really going to suck when he goes back but he's coming back in December so I'll see him then, and nothing's going to change, and all that matters is right now, and it's just so...wow. And it's just when I think about what I was thinking about before when I got nervous and if it actually happened and how it would be like oh my god and just everything to me. It happened with Jordan, but that means nothing anymore, and if it happened with Jona it would totally like I said mean everything and it would just make everything right and it would prove even more that this is fate, our fate, and it's meant to be, like he said.

This is a clip from my mom's day:
Title: Yuck-a-doo
Yuck-a-doo seems to be as good a way as any to start yakking when you are supposed to be cleaning up or feeding the Iggy or watering the plants, but since I just finished reading Becca's chatty-blog I don't feel at all like doing anything except nattering at nobody about nothing in particular.
Actually, I was going on the comp to see when the meteor shower was and when the Observatory ( which is like a gazillion times better than the Vancouver one, since that one is hardly ever open and when it is you can't see much except the trees) is open. Woah. Wordy sentence. But then she had too many things open and it wouldn't work (the comp, that is) so I started reading and waiting for the NEW! IMPROVED! SLOWER THAN DEAD SLUGS! Winamp to close. And the comp does this thing where if you actually sit in the chair for more than two minutes you can't get up again for possibly as long as four hours, or when someone comes downstairs and interrupts, whichever comes first.
So I have to put all my stuff away from going to Tsw for the weekend, plus tidy up whatever got left lying around, plus un-tidy up the stuff that Tinky put where I didn't want it put. Is there a reason the dead bushes have to be moved six feet and put right in front of my flower pot? Didn't think so. Do I have to keep the old flyers on the table with the new ones? Stuff like that.
Then I have to see what HIS reaction is to Marth's brother coming as well. Tinky decided against mentioning that. I so hate it when it is up to me to ask if something is ok AFTER the person is halfway here.
What I want to do is go to Elk because it is all nice and hot and I didn't get to go to the beach at the weekend, except with the dog who was trying to attack some giant poodle so we all had to leave. Uh oh. I hear a car, byeee!
-----------------------------------end of bub's cheap thing-----------------------
So, I'm back, from what might possibly be the greatest day ever. First we walked around in circles like 4 times, until he started saying about how he was immensely against circles, so then I called him a square, but then he said he was more of a triangle. So then we went and sat on a rock for like 3 hours. Seriously. It was so fun though, I was yelling at people in cars, and at first he was scared because he thought they would come and kill us and run us over with their trucks, but then he started doing it and then we were like to everyone that passed "K, let's stare at this person, see what they're doing" and then he would be like "That woman is wearing the ugliest dress I have ever seen" and he like insulted people's cars and stuff. And then this one time on the second rock I asked him if he liked her and he's like "She's got a nice butt." and I was like "WHAT?!" because I could not BELIEVE he had just said that and he was like "I'm KIDDING, you can't even tell from this angle!" and then I punched him and told him to shut up.
He was so nervous at first, like when we first sat down on the rock he kept picking up twigs and breaking them and stuff. I guess I wasn't as nervous as him because I've been through this before, which I told him. We made up this messed up thing about how he sat on a rock with a strange person because he had no friends. And every time we talked about that we would both go hysterical. And then I asked him well then why he was there, and he's like "Because I think you're cute" which was totally like oh my god, and then later when we were walking back into the market and holding hands he said he wouldn't want to be sitting on a rock with any other strange person but me.
He said he believes in fate, that things happen for a reason. And then I said about how freakish it was that we met again when we never thought we would, and he said "Tis fate" and then he said it again after for some reason.
And then when we went back to a payphone to phone my mom, I called him a loser, and he's like "Dork" and I was like "Loner" and he's like "Midget" and then I was like "Ignoramus, whatever that means!" and he's like "Loser Loner" because I had called him that earlier and he's like "I think I'm gonna have to hurt you" and I was like "Um you can't, you're too weak" and then he's like "I am SO insulted. I've been called a loser, and a dork, and maybe even a loner on occasion, but never a loser loner!" so that was really funny, he's hillarious, though he says I'm incredibly amusing.
He goes back on August 21, which he says is like 13 days. He's going up to Whistler a little while before then, though. I said to him like when he goes back, is he going to have someone to be around (that was my way of saying will he get a girlfriend) and he was like "Not unless I turn gay" and I was like WHAT are you talking about, and then he said he knew what I meant and no he wasn't going to. And then I was like "So does it have to end, like when someone goes away?" and he's like "You mean when I go back to England? No, not unless you want it to."
And then he was freaking out because there was a bee, which he said was a wasp but whatever, so then we moved to a different rock in the same grass bit. And he wouldn't sit ON the grass because then he would get his pants dirty and the grass is for lower class people like me, just like the other side of the street which he said I should go on because he hates me, joke, of course, duh, ya'll!
He says that Starwars is better than Canadian Idol, and that Startrek games were cool, and I said they sucked and to prove they were better, and he's like "I don't have to, because it is". And then we were talking about video games and he actually KNOWS what Shining Force is, and he's played both games and he said they're awesome, and they are, so that's cool. He said his cousin Aiden thought I was autistic! And I got so mad I was like "Um WHAT he thinks I'm like some retard kid?" and he's like "You can't call them retards just because they have mentally ill problems of communication!" and I was like "Yes I can!" and then he called my Diana Degarmo choker a dog collar, so I got mad at him.
And then some people went and sat near on the stairs which were a little bit aways from us, and then he got scared because he didn't want to be near some "drug taking acohol losers" as he put it, and he said they made him nervous. And then I said hot and he thought I said high. And then he said "You really DO have a speech impediment, don't you?" and then I hit him again and he's like "You can't hit me, I'll hit you back!" and I was like "You can't do that, you're not allowed" and he's like "Then why do you?" and I was like "Because I'm ALLOWED!" and then we were talking about rune and hieroglyph and stuff and he was freaking out that I memorized it and stuff, and he asked me if it was Latin or Greek and I was all like I don't know it's Roman you freak! So then he asked me how to do a Roman A and then he was mad because he didn't have a pen so then I just told him that it was like an English F but the two lines slanted downwards so then he traced it on his hand and was like is that right and I was like yes it is, and then he asked me what the tree in front of us was named, because he knows I name everything, and he's like "It looks like a Bob, but if you turn it upside down it looks like a roman A" and I was like beh he's interested! And then I was like "The tree's name is Shane Wiebe" and then I was like "Stupid Shane...get Manoah kicked off..." and then he laughed at me again. And then he started saying about something about the Elvish Alphabet and something about Arabic Alphabet and I said that thing that I always say and he's all like what does Arabic have to do with that and then I'm like Arabic is that thing that I always say and he's like okay whatever forget it you're dumb! And then I said about Calum and he said about Daniel and he said about how he sees him sometimes when he's at school and he says that he has his group of movie star followers always trailing him around and I said it's the same with Calum and then I said I hate Calum and then Jona's like "Bloody movie stars" and I was totally just like I know. And then he got scared of my hair scrunchy because it's black and fluffy and then he was backing away from it and he fell off the rock so I laughed at him. When we first got to our first rock I made a joke about Newfoundland, you know, being the rock and all. And he was like what.
We couldn't look each other in the eye, it was so funny, every time we did we'd start laughing. He said he calls his Chinese friends ****** and the East Indians ******* and I was like you can't do that that's so mean! And then I taught him about that thing that I always say and that other thing that I always say. And then later I said that it was easier to say than it was to say the other one, and I asked him to say it and he's like "Some sort of racial discrimination!" But then he got it right without me telling him that, so.
He said he'll call me tomorrow, I hope he does. Oh crap, I missed RFR. Oh well, I'll watch it tomorrow, it's probably one that I've seen before anyway. Oh yeah, that was something else that he did. When we were on the first rock he was like pretend crying about missing tennis and I was like "Oh yeah? Well I'M missing my favourite soap opera so shut up!" and then he laughed at me and he was like "Oh yeah? What's that about?" so then I went babbling all about it.
And then I told him about my website and he's like "You have a WEBSITE? Why do you have a WEBSITE?" and I said it was awesome and I couldn't live without it. And I asked him if he liked Hilary Duff and I said that I had like 30 posters of her in my room and he's like "You have POSTERS in your room?" and I was like "Yeah, I got some John Mayer, Clay Aiken, Kelly Clarkson even though she sucks, and I have this thing that says MICHAEL JACKSON IS THE BEST." and he said he believes Michael didn't do anything just like me, and then we were talking about Martha Stewart and about how I didn't think she should be in jail just for telling a lie and he's like "Well, lying's not a good thing" and then so I explained the situation and stuff to him, and then we were talking about CSI and Will and Grace and the Simpsons and Corner Gas and Simple Life and stuff. He says he's heard the name Lionel Richie before, but he doesn't really know who he is, and then we were talking about Celine Dion and Josh Groban and Glass Tiger and David Bowie and Richard Marx and Canadian Idol and Will Young being gay and he said he's not but I know he is because he told everyone and Jona said it's just publicity so I said shut up, like I always do, but he didn't care, like he never does.
And then I said about how Stephanie called me in the middle of Canadian Idol and he was all sarcastically like "Oh my god she DID? The NERVE of that girl!" and then I was totally all like "I KNOW!!" but he was just being dumb as ususal, so, and then I was all like "And she wanted me to phone her back but then KALEB SIMMONDS was coming on, like Kaleb Simmonds, man!" and then he was laughing at me again and I was like what's your problem you freak! Oh yeah and then when we were talking about Shining Force I said about how Patrick won't let me play SF2 because he thinks I'll break it so he hid it, and Jona said he probably doesn't even know where it is, and then I told him about how I can't play it so I download all the music and listen to it all the time and then he laughed at me again. I just finished listening to one, actually. The reason my mom's thing was callled Yuck-a-doo was because it stank downtown and she couldn't think of anything else to describe the smell so she was just suddenly like "YUCK-A-DOO! GROSSNESS!" and then we all went hysterical. And Jona thinks that a dink is a cross between a dork and someone who stinks. I thought fink, but whatever, it's someone that my bro Tim's best friend Nate said to him one time in Vancouver and my mom got mad.
I asked him if next time did he want to sit on a rock again and he said it's a little too public so he said he knows a place that's more private: the lake. That should be fun, except we can't sit on a rock and laugh at people! There will of course be rocks at the lake, and maybe people, but like he said, it's more privater. Or something. He said that loserish isn't a word.
And then he thought it was hillarious that I thought it was hillarious that people ripped my songs apart on IDF that I post. He said that the mere thought of me thinking it's hillarious is funny. He said that it was just the way I put it, or something like that.
Okay, I'm done now. Lots of people are here. Hi.

Um this is retarded my computer is being so slow! Sorry, I'm trying to be normal when all I'm really thinking is EEEEK!!!! I'm going out with Jonatan. In like 15 minutes. My mom's just getting ready because she's driving me up to "Broadmead Shopping Centre" to meet him there. I am SO freaked. The only thing I'm sure of is: My hair looks nice. I think. Ugh, this is so dumb! I'm not wearing makeup, so that's good, I have nothing to smear, no nail polish, so nothing to chip off, no lipstick, so nothing to get all over my face and look like a retard, so I'm good but I'm still a loooooooooooooosagirl!
He was actually there when I phoned him, and I had no idea what to say so I was totally just babbling about how Vancouver was a small China-Town or something and about how everyone just babbles ni Chinese so you have no idea what they're saying and he said maybe I should learn Chinese or something retarded like that! Beh!
I'm wearing like a billion tons of purfume, but that's just another one of my trademarks, so there's nothing I can do about that. I think I'm good. On the way there I'll think of what to say. Um it would totally help if I knew where my mom was, she's my ride! The phone's ringing. Sorry, not answering, got plans.

This is so messed. I have a stomache ache again, and this time it's from drinking milk. Seriously, I had like, maybe two small glasses, and I can't take it. I seriously cannot even drink milk without having some freak problem. So now it's like 9:46am and I'm getting Fefe Dobson's new song "Don't go (boys and girls)", which is cool, but I'm totally not sure what it's about, and if it's what I think it's about, then it is so not cool.
I've been in Vancouver since Friday. Well actually, this is how it went:
Friday:
I got up, got dressed and stuff, then my mom and dad went to the bank, so I phoned Jonatan, but his grandpa said they went to the eye doctor and then to Hillside Mall or something. Is that all he ever does, like, go to the mall? Like seriously, you come over here from England, you can do all this stuff, but no, you go to the mall. Right. So anyway, he said he'd get him to call me back, but I knew I was going to Vancouver, so it wouldn't be any good, but I didn't tell him that, I just wanted to see if Jona would actually call, because he didn't last time. So then I went on the Ferry to Tsawwassen to my grandparents house, then at about 9:30pm we went to the airport to pick my brother Patrick up from Quebec, and then we met my sister Teresa and her boyfriend there (Trevor Nelson), so then while my mom and Nana were at the luggage part thinking he would come there, maybe out of the shoot or something (joking), me and Teresa and Gandy went around the arrival part and then he came out and I got to him first and he gave me a big hug, which is so weird, because I haven't hugged Patrick for like, years. Well actually, I did when he left for Quebec like 5 weeks ago, but that was just like some one armed thing like I did with Calum on the last day of school. Well, with Calum it was a bit more, but I won't go into that. Rawr. Sorry. Anyway, Patrick was totally all like tired because he had to spend 12 hours at the airport in Quebec, and then like 5 hours on the plane, so. So then we got back to the house and just sat around and then I went to bed because I was tired because we were at the airport for like 3 hours because his luggage took so long to come.
Saturday:
In the morning (well it was like 12:30pm but whatever) my brother came into me and my sister's room and like threw himself on the bed and then woke us up (well I was sort of already awake, but whatever) so then we all laid there and talked for a little bit, and then I went upstairs and had breakfast, and then we went to the stores and stuff, and I got yet another fake hair thing, I have like 6 (hey, it's my trademark!) and this one was like a reddish-orange one with braids coming out at the bottom and hair at the top, it was sort of the same colour as my hair was when I first dyed it, it sort of matches, but ya'll should see my other ones, I have like a black bun one with curls coming down at the front and like little sparkly stars attatched to them (the one that I was wearing when I saw Jona at the mall the second time), one with just braids with beads and stuff on them, a red fluffy one, which I think is my favourite, and a blondish-brown one that's just like a curly bun thing. So then anyway, after convincing my mom to come with us, Trevor came over to my grandparents house to pick us up, and we went into Vancouver for the Fireworks down at Kits beach, which we used to go to all the time when I lived there. I've been back to the beach and pool and stuff there once in grade 6, but I haven't been to the fireworks since the end of grade 4, so that was cool, except afterwards it felt like I should go into the parking lot and get into the brown/white multi (we had both) with Mum and Patrick and Teresa (And maybe Timothy) and then just drive back to our house on East 28th Avenue, which of course isn't there anymore, because they knocked it down to build some ugly purple Ching house, but whatever. So then it was kind of sad, but still, we got the see the Polynesian dancers at Showboat (Jerrica Santos from Group 3 CI is one, but she wasn't there because she lives in Surrey, but she might go there sometimes because she likes to perform and that's the best place, but I don't know!), which we used to go to all the time too, it's all in the same place, Kits is a really really big place, it's got like a beach, a pool, a park, showboat, grass, concession stands, like everything, it's awesome. So then after that we walked over to the Vancouver Observatory, which my mom says is cheap and that the one here is better, but whatever, she doesn't like Vancouver anyway, she always pretends that she never lived there. And then we went past the Vancouver Maritime Musuem, which she says is cool. And then after we walked back to the car, and then drove back to T & T's place (Teresa and Trevor) and then I slept downstairs in Dustin's room or something, which smelled like the playhouse at my Vancouver house, which is like all musty which is SUCH a good smell, seriously, I love it, it's also like the smell of my sister's old room in the Vancouver house, but the playhouse smell is bettter, so that was good. It also smelled like the suitcase my brother used to go to Quebec, which he said smelled disgusting, but I disagreed.
Sunday: So we got up, had breakfast and stuff like that, and then went up to Ladner Market, in Ladner. And then after that we went back to my grandparents house, and then had dinner, and then we went back on like the 9pm ferry, so then there were no messages on the machine, so I was like totally all POed because I thought Jona didn't call, but then I ran upstairs and asked my dad if anyone called and he's like "Yes. Your 18 year old boyfriend phoned". And I was like um he's 16 but whatever! So then I'm going to call him this morning sometime, I'm just talking to my sister Melissa right now, and looking at my website's front page, and listening to one of my burned Thierry CD's.
I think I'm gonna go now, because my stomache hurts, and stuff. Oh BTW, my mom did the recap on Thursday the other night because I was watching the first two unseen-and-never-will-be-seen-again episodes of Radio Free Roscoe in a different room, and then I watched the tape after the show, and I was SO POed because I voted for Josh all night and now it seems like such a waste, but it's really not. They were all crying except for stupid pathetic loser ELENA, who was smiling, I hate her, she's such a bitch. It was so sad though, I got Josh's video from the other night and I watch it like every 5 seconds, it rocks. I've offered my mom a full time results show recap job, and she said that if she's allowed to just take notes on paper during the show, then type up the results afterwards, she'll do it, so the results will be, from now on probably, up at about 8:40 or so, if that's okay with ya'll, which it should be, because it's only about 10 minutes later. I love her recaps, they're so funny! I know you don't get to know what I think, but you guys should know who I want to go home by the performance show recaps, which will still be done by me, and just in case ya'll aren't clear on who I hate, I'll post it at the end of the recap, mmm-kay?
