Well hello everyone. (WARNING!! this is going to be a Freakin long post so make sure you have plenty of Time to read this and all of the thoughts and memories in here may not follow any chronological order. You Have Just Been Warned Now Please Continue) Ok now to introduce my post. I decided beacause I am really really bored and have no one to hang out with that I am going to write about me and my 20 years of life on earth, well all that I can remember about it anyways.
Ok So I was born on April 29 1985 and my parents gave me a name and that name is Christopher David Bulger. I don't reacall many memories though the tornado did come through Barrie a month after I was born on May 31 1985 luckly the tornado hit the other end of Barrie, but I was told we all went downstairs and waited out the storm not knowing what was going on.
Ok anyways onto the memories... ok lets we used to have an aquarium of fish in my old house and one day my mom wanted us to clean it out so I guess I decided I'd clean the tank with the fish still in it. Of course I decided to use the bleach soaked rag that my mom used to clean everything else. So I went to work on cleaning the tank when I was stopped, too bad all the fish were floating by the time I was caught. So right of the start I was a pet killer.
Also when I was younger me and my bros emptied all our dirty laundry and blankets on to the stairs and padded it nicely. Then we got the laundry bin and put each other in it and rolled down the stairs. It was all going good and it was fun. Then when I went I they pushed me down and I headed down the stairs but then I bounced up and over the railing and onto the second set of stairs where we didn't pad with clothing and hit a bookcase. It was really fun so it didnt matter if I got a few bruises.
Well anyways off to kindergarten. My teacher's name was Mrs. Willis she was pretty old and had glasses, we used to have storytime and sing alongs and such one song I rember was something like this.." A dillar a Dollar A Ten O'clock scholar, you used to come at 10 oclock and now you come at Noon" then we played a game where our teacher would try and guess what we ate for breakfast. So she smelt all or breath which was weird but she somehow guess a lot of our breakfasts which is kind of cool in a weird way. I also rember that Lite Brite was pretty cool then, along with those robot piggy banks that eat your money, and of course ninja turtles.
For my birthday that year I think I got 3 donatello ninja turtles for my party, I think I had a clown for that party too which is weird cause I don't know if I like clowns. Oh ya and I think I got ninja turtles suspenders which was sweet.
My friends were all pretty cool we used to play at the park up the street and also play nintendo I mostly played with my friend Matt cause he had a nintendo with like 8 GAMES! so that was pretty fun at his house. Once at his birthday party his mom made hotdogs and put mayonaise on all of them and it tasted weird so I wasn't going to eat it. Then said if you don't eat the hotdogs then we couldn't play nintendo so of course I ate the hotdogs without any delay.
Another day I remeber of kindergarten was when I went home for lunch and my mom made some bread but for some reason I didnt like it, actually I still remember the taste it was pretty weird I almost threw up, ( I found Out later that the bread tasted really good, So I guess it was my little kid pickyness) Anyway I was going to be late for school so I put the bread in the toaster until it was black and slabbed peanut butter on it and ate it. I ended up being 10 minutes late for school getting back from lunch. Then when I went in my classroom and it was empty, It turned out there was an assembly or something and my teacher came back and yelled at me for being late and I had to go get a late slip :(.
Well on to grade 1. In grade one I had a teacher who went on an exchange with some Austrailian teacher. So that was pretty Sweet! She'd always give us some Austrailian money and trinkets for being good in class. I still have those coins today! in grade one we made sugar crystals and played with water and sand tables, painted, and much more. Oh ya and we had a Huge Boa Constrictor snake brought in by some reason it was pretty cool and scary. Thats pretty much all ill mention from grade 1.
This is going to be soooooooooo long I didnt know what I was getting into, stupid memory .... remebering. Oh well.
Grade 2 wasn't that amazing it was when you start to learn stuff so it wasn't that fun. I rember that I had some cool friends though. One was From Iran and his name was Imran, and then I met another guy named Corey hubble who later in life hit Ryan, my brother in the nose with a golf ball while he was golfing in the park. And I also remeber a few people I later met up with in highschool, they were Kevin Gibbons, Nicole White, and Corey Hubble as well, there are probably some more but oh well. Oh ya and my teacher was Mrs. Beaston.
Grade 3 My Teacher was Mrs. Springle. Dinosaurs were cool at that time so we went to the museum and saw all the exibits and then later made dinosaur masks in class. I also remeber some people I meet later on in life, like Erin who we call stares later on in highschool. And Kevin Sepezzi he had the cool pop bottle crayons thats all I rember about him. thats pretty much grade 3.
I also started collecting baseball and hockey cards in this year. We used to always go to this concrete wall which we later called "The Trading Wall" many good trades were made there. I think I also was baptized into the church around this time. Plus I got my first hampster an named it Might Max, beacause Might Max toys and the Tv shows were cool around this time. At the end of the school year me and my friends were hanging out and one of the things I remeber doing was going with my friend Matt behind the town houses and finding a bee hive, of couse me being a foolish child and all I went and got some hockey sticks and base ball bats and we went and attacked the hive. At First it looked like we were doing pretty good I hit like 5 bees out of about 1000 bees so me and my friend thought we could take them out, but then one got me in the neck and I ran home crying. My mom gave me a popsicle to put on my neck to stop swelling and then every thing was alright, until I realized that the popsicle I had used was the popsicle that I was supposed to eat, so I didn't get to enjoy a popsicle that day which made me a little upset but I got over it.
In the Summer of this year I think we moved to our new house which is the house I am in now with a few modifications. Moving kinda sucked cause I lost most of my friends and started in a new school.
Wow this is huge I need to take a break. Thats enough for this day. There's a lot I am leaving out but thats cause I dont want to make a book. But unfortunately its looking pretty huge so if you mad it here theres still a lot more. Here's some motivation... GO GO GO. Ok Im done for now.
Ok Im back ok so the new house was pretty cool and biggerish even though I still had to share a room, we had a huge backyard, and a big basement to play in which was pretty cool. Going back to school after the summer really sucked, I think I knew one person but the much suckingness soon faded when I got a bunch of cool friends. through public school we did the coolest things together. When I got into grade 6 we were the group of friends that everyone wanted to be in, for a brief moment in time I was popular, well kinda, people thought I was pretty cool and funny so it was cool.
In grade 7 me and my friends got to join the janitor squad which pretty much meant we got out of class to go help move stuff around, it was pretty sweet. We we always were awarded with much food and snacks and wasted time just fooing around while everyone else did school work. In track and field that year I think I entered into 4track events and 3 field events, I won first in all of the running events, I got 2nd on shotput and tied for first in high jump and ended up having to take a second because I won too many firsts. Life was good.
In grade 8 , We were finally on top we had the a cool teacher, we went a bunch of trips and stuff and then at the end of the year we didnt have to do any work we just had to get ready for the graduation. I think this is when this girl started liking me she would aways stare at me and then wouldn't stop until I stared back or ignored it. She was pretty cool, But I was just one of the boys and didnt really care about girls quite yet enough to want to do anything about it. So grad came around and I made a make shift tux with a suit and an elastic bowtie I looked so cool haha. we went out to dinner at Casa Mias some kinda itallian resturant which was kinda cool because I like food. After that we had a dance at the school and I had just turned 14 a few months ago so my parents let me go even though I really didnt want to go that much. So I went I didn't really know how to dance but it turned out everyone else shared the same inexperience in dancing that I had so I just followed what everyone else did, which was pretty much hugging and urning and in circles, I danced with that girl that liked me a couple of times and it was pretty cool.
So school finished that year with our annual hot dog day and we all went our seperate ways. This is when I found out that all of my friends every single one of them were in the boundries for the other highschool. So that pretty much sucked but it didnt really get to me until later. In the mean time it was summer and I had fun with the friends biking and doing various random activities. Then I went to my cottage that summer which was friggen sweet because I love my cottage. After that summer was coming to an end. So then this is where I started to panic because I was afraid to start highschool without my friends. I missed the orientation day so I didnt really know what to do or where to go on my first day.
So on my first day I wandered around scared and alone trying to find all my classes and get to know the highschool a little bit. I made one friend that day and so it wasn't so bad after that. That year I had the coolest teachers and I slowly gained the being reputation of the tall, funny, clumsy guy who was always making some kind of contraption to fire pens into the ceiling. I soon got into a group of friends who I thought were cool and we played cards and tackle football at lunch. I finished that year with an 85% averege and got 99% on my math exam, with out studying. So this is where I found my unique talent of doing good in school by just paying attention in class. This would later on prove usefull having stress cut down to a bare minimum. I decided that if all my work couldn't be done in class or in the 5 minutes before class of the day it was due, I would just not do it. The only homework I had was big assignments and even then I usually just finished those in class. So I had it pretty easy because of all the free time that a made room for by sacraficing studying and homework. Life again was good. I also started seminary with Graeme Thompson. Me and Graeme did soo much together and made up games and things to do after seminary and such. At the dances we'd always hang out in the other half of the gym trying to teach ourselves how to breakdance, it didn't prove too sucessful but hey we were young and afraid of dancing so we had fun.
Then grade 10 came along. I think I'd have to say grade 10 was my favourite year. I had cool teachers cool friends and the school work was easy too. I put my homework free, study free and stress free theory into effect and got like an 80% average that year. That year
In my math class me and my friend Stu pretty much did anything we wanted, because we had a cool teacher named Mr. McCarther who let us get away with anything beacause we had an 85% in his class. I remeber one day the other students in the class were complaining because we weren't doing any work and playing cards all the time, Then Mr McCarther was like "you cant complain these guys are getting 80's so until you are stop complaining". After that he would play cards with us when we were finished the lesson each day. I also started making pen rockets in that class. I made one that shot through my 150 page notebook! Heck my teacher was just as impressed as I was. This was also the same math class where some of you may of heard that I lit my hair on fire in. One day I found a lighter and being the pyro that I was back then I wanted to see if it had some fuel so I put it up to my ear to listen and then I sparked it a FOOF! I made fire and a lot of it. My hair was probably the biggest it had ever been in m life so that dried mop of hair went up un flames so fast. My Friend said that there were flames shooting 2 feet off the left side of my head. So I quickly swattted at my head until it went out. Thiss all happened in th middle of class everyone was just looking at me. Everyone started complaining about the smell of burnt hair and opend the windows and doors of the portable. My teacher didn't really care and found it funny so it was cool. Anyways that was math class, probably the coolest class I ever had.
Another class I had some fun in was drafting. We had an Austraillian exchange teacher so we could get away with a few things here and there. I got pretty bored on a regular basis so I decided to make some fun. I started making dart planes out of thum tacks and masking tape. We made a dart board on the wall and threw them at it. Who thought drafting could be soo much fun. It all ended when the teacher started hiding the thumb tacks from me, but he was still a cool teacher because he was australlian.
Then in my english class the crazyiest thing happened and you'll probably never guess unless I've told you this story already. Ohh so you you think you know? Well then go ahead guess... No There was never an elephant eating marshmellows in my class but you were close... Ok, Ok I'll tell you now. Alright so one day in english I was just sitting around have a nap like I always do and then I see this dog out of the corner of my eye walk by. Then dog the came back and came into our class room and headed towards me, then it got distacted by some food another student had then I kind of did a double take and realized that it was my dog. So kind of embarassed I didn't say anything for a while and then I told my teacher it was my dog, but she didn't believe me. Then some guy came in the class and took my dog after that I finally convinced my teacher
that it was my dog. But it was too late they had already taken him to the pound. So when I got home that day my parents were like "Hey did you know spot (my dog) was at your school today" and I was like "ummm ya he came into my class out of all the classes he could have gone too isn't that sweet!" and then they were like " well ya but it cost us like $ 200 for the pound fine thing. So ya Thats my crazyiest grade 10 english class story. Cool eh? Like what are the chances of my dog coming all the way from home like a 20 minute walk to my school, some how he got into the school and walked into my class room and walked towards me... Crazy?!?!
Anyways thats about it for grade 10 so no we leap onward to grade 11...
(This Post is now 22 paragraphs they vary in size some huge some small none the less this is a Freaking huge Blog so If you choose to back out now then feel free I will not hold you responsible for your actions, for I too might have just given up on the first sentance seeing the long read ahead. But To those of you who are troopers and wish to continue I give you extra motivation to do so. (Go Go Go You can do it) there. Good luck with the reading and please continue... ummm hmmm.... Now.)
Hmmmm lets see Grade 11 what can I say about grade 11 well I was in grade 11 when I was in grade 11 and boy was I good at that. I think I started a little store in my locker for fun, I stashed a few cases of pop in it and some passion flakies, Ah Caramels and some Joe Louis' in it and I would either sell or give them to friends and fellow class mates it was pretty sweet. In my computer engineering I finished my computer like a month before everyone else so all I did in that class was play the games I put on my computer and got mid 70s, I cant complan with those marks for my effort. So ya grade 11 was sweet I had no work except for physics which was really hard, but the upside of physics was I had an awesome teacher who would do random things like launch chocolate eggs at people sleeping or swing the pendulum at them that hung in the middle of the room. I got a lot of chocolate that year, plus we got to go to wonderland because it was all about physics but really it was an excuse to go to wonderland. To top it all off I passed physics only because on the exam, I didnt know some questions at the start of the exam so I skipped ahead to then end and answered those questions. Then I found out later on that no one could finish the test past the half way mark so the teacher made the questions after the half all bonus marks for the first half, so I pretty much passed with a mid 60 and I was in the 50s before the exam.
That year in seminary we invented an extreme version of dodgeball. First we'd make forts out of chairs and make trencheds through the base and then we'd turn off all the lights and put some basket balls in each fort, then we got int forts and started hurling balls at each other. When we ran out of balls in our base, we had to go into "No Mans Land" to get some more, while you were in the middle you were an easy target, so we got hit in the head so many times with basketballs, I dont think it was very good for us but we had fun. We also would roll huge circle tables at each other and if you got hit by one of those you were done. It got pretty crazy and eventually we got banned from the game because it was "too dangerous" and we broke a lot of chairs. So wa it was fun while it lasted.
So ya grade 11 was pretty sweet but not as sweet as grade 12 of course...
In grade 12 I was finally on top above others, not that I wasn't already above everyone height wise with me being tall and all, I finally had senority over 3 grades muwhahahah... (ok so it wasn't that amazing) But I didn't really care about what anyone thought so I did lots of fun things and got away with it. Like in my english class I made pyramids out of the textbooks and shot pen rockets in the celings and I we even played some tag in the class and the teacher didnt even care. There was also this hole in the wall that we would throw our work in when we didnt want to do it and we didn't really know were it all went, but by the end of the year the hole was full and the wall started buldging and our teacher wanted us to hand in all our old work so we started pulling it out of thwall and thats when she realized we had been putting all our work in the wall and got a bit upset but didn't do anything. We also played cards, hang man and did crosswords while she tought which kinda made he mad but she never did anything which was kinda cool.
In gym class it was co- ed so it was pretty fun, we didn't even really do normal gym class stuff. We mostly played games all the time and when on hikes into caves, and camping trips, we even went bowling and golfing. I think for two weeks we actually did fitness stuff but the rest was sports or trips and cool stuff. In volleyball I got the nickname Mc Tumble because I would always dive around and in basketball they called me that too because I would do crazy things as well. But I'd have to say that other than gym my construction classes
my teacher was soo cool he'd let us build whatever we wanted and let us get away with so much. Heck one time we started playing hockey or something with a tape roll and the teacher joined in and stuff. I never really had anywork to do and I took physics and went to wonderland again. This time I failed physics the first class I ever falied I was a little upset but I got over it. Then grad and prom came. I didn't go to my prom mainly because all my friends we gay and wanted to drink and also I didn't have the courage to ask anyone, so I kinda regret not going but not too much. I went to my grad and got my diploma and saw a few friends one last time and then it was over... It was hard to believe I now finished school.
That summer I had soo much fun, me and my friend Aaron pretty much became beach bums, we swam almost every day at the lake, so we got really good at swimming. We found a few big rocks and dove with them and started walking on the bottom of the lake finding stuff. That summer we also went to my cottage. My cottage is like 13 acres of lake front property so its pretty friggn sweet. While we were there we went cliff jumping paintballing and swam in the lake like all day. It was soo awesome! The before you knew it that summer was over. Everyone else had to go back to school except for me grame and tory and I think thats when we started making our movies, or maybe it was still in the summer. Anyways we all got together at the church and made a ninja movie. It was soo fun fighting and fake fighting and just making the movie and watching it after we made it. After that me and tory started hanging out and made a soap box car and a tree fort and even made a movie of our own and called it "Job Hunt" on the day we went to look for jobs.
Hmm now Im gonna switch things up a bit and just write about random memories that come to mind (This could get interesting). I figure all the things I wrote above were kind of in some chronological order but this part of my life has been a little crazy so I'll show its crazyness by telling about all the memories I've been thinking of about, recent events and past events in whatever order they come out of my head.
Ok so one thing I remember really clearly is the days I spent in newmarket. I guess it all started back when Tory was first dating Crissy and he had me come along most of the time to make it less akward I guess. Anyways on one of these trips they all decided they wanted to go rollerblading. Now me being the clumsy oaf that I am had never really tried roller blading and any attempts made to rollerblade usually ended up with me on the ground somewhere with banged up elbows and scraped hands. But this time was going to be different I had friends there that could teach me and I would just pick it up some how. So I was pretty pumped for this and kinda nervous of making a fool of myself with my pitiful rollerblading skills, but I was gonna do it anyways so I started out ankles bent in like a true beginner and I was doing alright. I could move and jump on the grass when I was moving to fast and I didnt really fall. Then we came to a school then there was a hill down into the parking lot, so we went down this hill and I got going pretty fast so I wanted to slow down, and with my stoping skills limited to jumping in the grass, and finding no grass in site to jump onto in this nicely paved parking lot, I panicked and quicky found myself on my butt with scraped hands and bruised elbows just like the many failed attempts at rollerblading before this. So that day I found out for sure that I should never be strapped to anything with wheels going down a hill again. With my clumsyness its just not good for my well being. But I dont think anything will stop me from at least trying new things. So ya it was really fun hanging out with Tory and Crissy and her friends but little did I know of the others that lived in newmarket.
Ok so ya for awhile I didnt get to really go to newmarket much because of work and thats when a bunch of barrie people started getting to know more people in newmarket and soon found a cool group of people there. So on May 24th weekend last year I believe, my bro ryan was like hey lets go to newmarket this weekend so I was like " thats sounds like a heck of a good Idea" so off we went to newmarket via "The Trusty Old Go Bus". Now we planned to stay for the weekend so I brought a heck-of- a-lot of fireworks and a tent to stay in someones backyard.
So when we got to newmarket we really didnt know who we were gonna hang out with so ryan phoned some people and got a hold of Sara Vernon( One cool girl I never met until this weekend) and she said she'd pick us up at the mall. So we went to the mall and await our ride, then she showed up with Jake and Mandi her sister in a mini van two other people I never really met. So we got in the van and started driving around. We ended up going to a tennis court and played tennis where I found out that that mandi was wa tennis player and I was definetely not one. After that we went to a gas station and got some slushies to cool off (It was a nice hot day I believe).
Anyways after that we headed to Jake's house to go watch a movie. We ended up watching "Meet the Parents" and everyone fell asleep execpt me and ryan. So after the movie we woke everyone up and then we headed off to Sara's house for dinner while Jake stayed home for his dinner. So that's when we got to meet The vernon's ( Sara and Mandi's Parents) and they were really cool and their dad asked if we could help him dig holes with him in the morning since we were staying over. So we glady accepted to help and stayed there for dinner.
For dinner we made some spegehetti and meatballs with garlic bread and played a friendly game of dominoes. Then Kristen came over (I had only met her once before) and we all decided we'd go to the dusk till dawn at the drive in. So we headed out and just before we got there we tried to hide kristen mandi and ryan so we didnt have to pay as much, but when we got there it was sooooo packed, so our hiding was kind of useless yet still fun.
After that we left and headed back to Sara's house when I rembered I brought fireworks. So we went back to the house and got them and went to the near by farmers field and shot them off, it was pretty fun, we were just out in the field and as soon as one went off it just lit up the sky and there was no darkness for that second, then as we were finishing them off when some neigbour started joining in with their fireworks it was pretty cool.
Then we went back to their house and watched movies in the basement, and one of those movies was "Zoolander"one of the sweetest and funniest movies made. We all ended up falling asleep to that movie and I woke up and looked at my clock and it was about 3am then as I was up Sara got up and looked over then all of a sudden ran up stairs, then I feel back to sleep again and woke up and then I woke up kristen and mandi and got them to go upstairs to bed. By this time it was too late to set up our tent so we just slept downstairs on the couches.
The next day we woke up and came upstairs and watched satuday morning cartoons. Then went to help Bro. Vernon dig the holes for the balcony they were building and Sara got us water when we were thirsty. After we finished that we went inside and and kristen finally woke up so we decided to do something. Mandi came back from her tennis game earlier that morning and so we were just kinda hanging out until sara had to go to work, and when we were going to go back to back barrie. So I decided to show everyone how to make a pen rocket, so we made one and were shooting it at things and then we wanted to see how high it went to we shot it straight up and it went sooo high then it came down and hit kristen right on the top of her head, luckily she wasn't looking up or that would have sucked. After that we shot it at her neighbours house and lost it in their backyard.
It was getting close to the time for Sara to go to work so we went inside and we got ready to leave. Now it was time to go and we thanked their parents for letting us stay at their house and left. Sara dropped us off at the mall and went off to work. We decided not to stay in the mall and wanted to go to a pet store while we waited until it was time to take the bus, so we headed there on foot instead. Then we came to this pond and by the mall and beside the pond was ditch, and in the ditch were baby ducks. So we got up really close to them and tried to get one but then the mother came and we didn't want to up set her. So then we got all these big rocks out of the ditch and started throwing them in the pond for fun. Then there was this guy walking by and he said to me " you throw like a girl!" then ryan said back "you look like a girl" (cause he had long hair and such) and the guy just shut up and kept walking. After that much fun and entertainment we finally got to the pet store, well it was more like fish pet store so we went around looking at the weird and cool fish and asked if we could keep the dead ones as pets and they said no so we left. So we headed on our way back to the bus station and stopped at a dollar store on the way. We went in there for awhile and found these giant fly swatters and hit each other with them, then mandi bought a marble game for the bus ride and I bought some elastics and pens to make pen rockets with and a drink.
So then we went to the bus station and Kristen had to come home cause she had to babysit or something and me ryan and mandi waited at the bus station for Jake and Mike Ryan who were supposed to be meet us there. The time came to get on the bus and they still weren't there so we decided to get on without them. When we got on we sat at the very back and there wasnt much room, so this crazy 30 year old Petafile guy who was hitting on mandi offered her to come sit beside her. Being terrfied of the physco guy she said no and we tried to stop him from bothering us and hitting on mandi, but he wouldnt shut up and just kept talking to us even after many obvious ways of us telling him we didn't want him to talk to us. So then all of a sudden Mike and Jake got on the bus, apparently they had chased the bus down cause they were late so they caught up with it at a stop and got on. Then eventually the guy wierd guy got off and we just talked and mandi played the marble game and lost one of the marbles on the bus.
So we finally got to Barrie and made our way to the church where there was a birthday party dance for Ben fuller and Christy. We stopped a "Naples Pizza" (which I found out last month it burned down) and got a couple of pizzas then the missionaries came and we offered them pizza but they already ordered their's so they talked to us for a bit and they left. Then soon after we started making our way up bayfield street to the church and ryan and mike found a shoping cart and we pushing it around then all of a sudden it hit one of those glass bus stops and it shatterd it. So then we ranaway and went to the dance.
At the dance no one really wanted to dance and just wanted to hang out so we all just went to different places and we set up my tent to see what it was like. (because I had just bought it recently and never set it up) So we set it up and brought it into the gym and put in in the middle of the dance floor. After that we put it away and just hung out with everyone. We got bored so me mandi and duncan one of our friends decided to go get slushies and stuff so we went and got them and just hung out for the rest of the night.
Soon the dance was over and we ended this wonderful weekend and went our seperate ways back home. What a cool weekend it was. It was one of the first weekends I really got to hang out with, got to know and became friends with some special people, I had never met before. I am really glad to have experienced all the things we went through and all the adventures we had that I havent mentioned yet. This was just the begining of a group of friends that go forth to do many great and wonderful things for each other. This was one the greatest days of my life and there are more to come so stick around and dont change that channel or website or whatever you want to call it. So read on and live strong thats what I always say. ( ok not really but you get the point.
Next On the list I believe thanksgiving weekend now this weekend started on a friday night like every other normal weekend, we were all on msn talking and we all decided to have a huge convo to plan the next day. I posted it on my site earlier its pretty funny and random. Anyways From that convo we planned to hang out in barrie and so cookie ashleigh and kristen took a bus to barrie where me ryan and dustin picked them up in the LUVPURPL. At the bus station we found them and cookie showed us this picture in this skater magazine that looked exactly like ryan. So Then soon after we went to burger king and got some BK Crowns and we took off in to who start our days adventure.
Now this being thanksgiving day nothing was really opened so we wandered around barrie and went to a school and played on the swings. Then I found this huge rock and started playing basket ball with it which end up in me almost crushing my fingers everytime I tried to catch it when it was falling down. (I'm not that bright sometimes I admit). Anyways so we got kinda bored and went to Herbies A grocery store that recently went out of business. At herbies we bought some various items such as deoderant and a coconut and also some peak freans which are very mportant to this story cause dustin called cookie a peak frean the night before on the msn convo if you remember.
Anyways after that we went to the church and were going to go to a ysa sports day activity but then found out they were done with the sports and were playing some pick a celebrity out of a hat kinda sharades game. Now Having a short attention span and not being really mature enough to want to play the "fun and exciting" (boring) Ysa Games we decided to leave. As we were leaving Teffer wanted to come along too So even though we had a over full car already we added Teffer in being the seventh passenger into the 5 passenger vehicle, The LUVPURPL to be exact, So not exactly a spacious luxury sedan.
So we then went on our way and soon got distracted by a bunch of fire trucks going up bayfield street so we followed them only to find out that Fabricland was on fire! So we parked close by to see the action and the fire was soon under control so we left the scene. We then went to the bayfield mall parking lot where we decided we wanted to open my coconut. Thats when Teffer Suddenly took my coconut and hurled it into the air, apon impact it shattered into pieces. Being a little upset of the loss of my coconut I gathered the pieces and shared them with everyone so they could enjoy its sweet sweet flesh. After Eating the coconut me and ryan relized we had to be home For our thanksgiving dinner. So Dustin drove us home and Teffer Home as well and him cookie, ashleigh and kristen went to dustins house.
Anyways after our dinner Teffer showed up to give us a ride to dustin's so we could hangout some more with everyone Teffer ate some pie while he waited for us to finish and then we took off and headed to dustin's house. Now I think this may have been the first time I had really been to dustin's house so it came as quite a shock to see all the purple in his house. Now the licence plate on the purple car with the purple kleenex box made sense. Not only did they have a purple house but we soon found out they had a sweet jamming room as well. So then we all piled into the room and dustin his dad and ryan played some songs for us. Now I also didnt know that dustin was such an amazing drummer which of course I soon found out. (One thing I should mention is that during dinner while I was at home sister pearce said something that kind of for shadowed the furture of thing. She said to Cookie and Ashleigh " You guys should date my sons" or something along the lines of that). Anyways now in the present day it turns out that That Ryan Pearce And Ashleigh are married and Cookie and Dustin are not far from it being in a serious relationship. So ya Crazy day.
Now at the end of the visit with dustin's family we all piled into Teffers car with was a luxury sedan so it fit six people comfortably. Me ryan and cookie in the back and Teffer Kristen and Ashleigh in the front. On our way to Barrie We threw in some Billy Talent. Now me and cookie really got into it and started screaming it such as in the song The River Below. All I have to Say is "CONTRAPTION"! A little inside humor there. So Ya Teffer Then Dropped me and ryan off and took the rest of them home which eneded the day for me and ending this part of the story of my life. So Stay tuned for the next part coming to you shortly after these quick advertisements.
Anyways now its onto the next holiday where you get to have turkey Christmas! The story I'm about to tell takes place a few days before christmas. I believe me, dustin and ryan pearce we're all planning to do a suprise gift delivery to our good friends in newmarket, so earlier that week me and my friend Aaron, after get a stocking and many, much stocking stuffers the gift was set. So the next day I believe, we got pretty sneaky. Our first visit we stopped of Hy&Zells (I think thats the name) we walked casually into the store just before closing and walked up to Thats right you guessed it Sara Vernon who was quite suprised to see us and gave her the gift. (I belive there was carebears candy canes chocolates and some ferrero rochers in there so she wa quite pleased with the gift and thanked and hugged us right before her manager started looking at us weird and so we said goodbye and decided we better leave in fear of us getting her in trouble. So after that we headed to Kristen's house with the information of how to break into her house that sara gave us seeing as how she was away on vacation. Anyways just as we we're about to try and break in we noticed the house sitters were inside and we knew them so they let us in. Once we got in Dustin went to work putting together the present for Kristen While I think I played games with the Grahams ( the house sitters). His package included so many very random items some of which were a box of mandarin oranges and two jumbo lolly pops. After we finished that we headed home feeling good about what we had done that night and went our seperate ways to do whatever we may.
For my christmas that year I believe we did the traditional family caroling and handing out of christmas goodies on christmas eve. Later that night our family went out to look at lights throughout barrie; we went to our traditional spots where people went all out with their lights. There was one house we nicknamed "The Gingerbread House" cause it looked literally looked like a gingerbread house at night with every inch of the house, roof top and bushes covered with lights. After that we went home and had a late night snack, read the christmas story, and left out goodies for "Santa and His Reindeer". Then at about 3 or 4 in the morning me and my bro ryan wrapped our gift (a new computer) and snuck it upstairs making sure no one was up and hid it under the tree. Then Christmas morning finally came and my younger sisters and brothers worke us up at 6 in the morning, even though we we're dead tired from staying up and we all rushed downstairs to look at the presents. Now with there being 9 kids in our family there was moutains of presents filling our living room, you could barely see the tree! So then we got our parents up around 7 and opened presents until 10. Then we just chilled all day playing with our newly aquired gifts and then we had a sweet turkey dinner and pies to top of such a wonderful day.
I love christmas! I just feel soo good at that time of year, my favourite part would have to be giving gifts and suprising people with things. It just gives you such a good feeling to be able to have made someone's day better by giving them a gift and letting them know you care about them. I wish everyone could just feel that way everyday of the year, it would just be so nice.
Anyways ont to the next story. This I would have to say is one of the most memorable and amazing days ever, thats probably the reason why I can still tell it to you now almost 2 years from this experience. So here it goes... It all started on the day before new year's eve I believe. The next day there was going to be a sweet party at the Vernon's house for New Years Eve. So that night on msn we talked about all the things we'd do the next day for party. Somehow we got into a rock paper scissors match and Dustin got out first and me and Sara played and tied like 8 or 9 times it was pretty crazy just ask mette or dustin. Anyways later on in the convo we had the Idea to go on a double date together out to breakfast or something before the party. So the next day Dustin came to my house around 8 am I think and I made some hot chocolate and put it in a thermos incase we decided to go sleedding or do something out side. Then me and Dustin drove down to newmarket and showed up nice and early at sara's house. I brought my computer in the house and set it up for music later that night, while they got ready cause they had just gotten up I think. After that we watched some of the movies that we made that I put on to a dvd for everyone to watch at the party, (I think We watched The Canadian Bathing habbits video and our Ultimate Foosball video )
After that we made our way into the luvprpl and drove to cora's where we planned to have breakfast. We then went inside and realized that it was insanely busy so we decided to look for some other place. We ended up going to golden griddle after much driving around. So then we went in and got a table and noticed some thuggish looking hoodlums at the table across the resturant and kind of laughed at their sterotypical apparell and overall apperance.
Anyways we then all went with the all you can eat buffet cause it was saturday and it was pretty much the best deal. So we went up and filled our plates and sat down and ate a bit and decided to go up and get the rest of our $10's worth of food so we all got an entire plate of bacon and me and sara stole some of the cereal milk for our drink instead of paying $3 for a drink. After eating all that bacon we felt kind of sick eating anymore so we decided to start putting random condiments into our syrup, then we stirred it and it started bubbling, foaming and overflowing so we felt bad and thought we might get in trouble so then we noticed the thugs decided to go out side for a minute and we switched their syrup with ours and ran back to our table and acted all unsuspicious. Then they came back in and were kinda mad but they didnt know it was us really but they we're reallt suspicious of us. Anyways we then payed the bill and left quickly and went around to find something else to do. Dustin had made up this list through the week of like a 1000 things to do before and during the party as requested by saras email ivitation.
So we came to the conclusion of what to do after Dustin closed his eyes and pointed to something randomly on the list which ended up being building a contraption. We decided we'd try to build something like a chair or a catapault so we thought we'd try home depot to find the stuff that we needed. In home depot we thought of something else to build with popsicles like a bridge we could walk across, So we tried to find popsicles sticks in home depot ( seeing how it was like a hardware store filled with wood) but then asked some guy and he said they didnt have any. So we then wanderd around the store and came to the styrofoam section and realized that the guy we asked earlier had followed us so we then asked him about the styrofoam and he asked us why we wanted it and we we're like I dunno just to have some. So then he asked us if we we're stoned and we're like" No man we just always look like we are and people always ask us if we are but we aren't" then we took some styrofoam and went to go pay for it and he followed us there and was like you guys are soo stoned and then we left and he followed us right to the exit and went back. It was very windy that day so the styrofoam snapped in half and started blowing away but we got it and took it to the car, luckly it did break in half though or else it wouldn't have fit in the luvprpl. Anyways after that we went to a dollar store by sara's old work "Hy & Zels" or something like that and we bought some multi coloured popsicle sticks and a little glue gun and headed back to Sara's house.
At Sara's house Right when we got in we brought in the styrofoam for our little prank on Mandi, (Mandi Pretty much had a fear of Styrofoam and would cry at the very sight, touch or sound of it) So we lifted up all her bedsheets and put the styrofoam right under it all. (I know thats mean and we did feel bad that she didnt sleep on her bed for a week but we had to do it) We then just kind of chilled listening to brittney spears I believe and tried to make a popsicle stick bridge at first then ended up building a house thing with a garage thing and a car in it, which we then called "The Rainbow Manor" (Now known among friends as "The Legendary Rainbow Manor") Anyways by then everyone was showing up for the party by now and Adam Graham started trying to help a bit but me and Sara finished it up while everyone went and did their thing. Then we cleaned up and threw on some swing music and Adam and Aara started swing dancing while me and her mom watched. Then her mom asked if I could do that but I couldnt so we finally went downstairs I believe to see all who had showed up so far.
I guess it was about 6:00pm maybe I dont really know but everyone was there by the time it got dark and we played music and watched movies (Anchorman being on of them for sure) for awhile and had out Rainbow Manor dislplayed on that old reliable table downstairs allong side the big jar of pop tabs collected from many different people througout the year for Sara's wheelchair that she wanted. I rember at one point in the night mette and sara dancing to some kind of dance music and coming up with dance moves and justin off to the side playing guitar and cookie singing along to all the something corperate and dashboard songs. Then sometime soon after me and ben got the bright Idea to play darts blindfolded after getting spun around and ended up making marks all over the wall but we got sara into it too for one shot, it was stupid but fun. Then after that me and dylan played pool and I got another bright Idea to play with my hands and end up flinging the cueball at the wall leaving a dent on the wall (Sorry about that Sara hope you didnt get in too much trouble). After that I think we gathered a bunch of money together to get some pizza, I think we rounded up about $90 and went with mark in hes pimpin white honda and blarred some big shiny tunes 9 with his new stero system. We ended up going to little caesar's cause they had hot and ready's so we ended up getting like 12 of them in about 5 minutes now thats impressive, theres nothing like instant pizza.
Now after we had some pizza and chilled for a bit, we all got a big game of hide and seek going. I can't remeber exactly who was it first but for the first round I jumped in the back of some truck in the neighbourhood and layed down in it to hide while the others hid behind trees and such, I think I was one of the last ones found in that round, then the second round I think me and sara ran to the end of the street and hid in some bushes, then she ran off somewhere when whoever was it started looking for us, and some other person hid in a truck this time as well and they actually opened the truck and went in the cab, after that we didnt hid in people vehicles in the neighbourhood. After that I think we had one last round, when every headed down the street one way I went the opposite way to try and find a new hiding place but the time was running out and I hadnt found a spot yet, so I grabbed an old christmas tree and used it to hide behind as I snuck back to sara's house (home free) over snowbanks and through snow filled lawns. Funny Enough I made it all the way without being seen and suprised a few people. That ended up being the last round I think cause we we're all getting cold and tired and midnight was approaching. So we all went back inside by now it was about 11:30pm and everyone headed downstairs to get ready for the countdown. we listened to music and stuff and then in the last 10mins before midnight we changed the channel to the countdown on tv and waited for the 10second countdown, then we all started shouting 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! HAPPY NEW YEAR!! On that note Sara and Mette , I think, went around trying to kiss everyone but no one would really let them so I let Sara kiss me on the cheek for a good measure to make it an official newyears
So after that we all just sort of settled down and hung out with each other spending the first few minutes of the new year with friends. I'd have to say that was the best new years eve party I have ever been too, truly well worth remembering for years to come. Anyways as the night made its way towards morning people came and went and we started packing up everything saying our goodbyes and enjoying the last moments of this great get together. By around 3 am everyone was gone and we had cleaned up mostly of the cans filled a couple of jars with pop tabs, then we headed out to megans house cause she said we could tent in her backyard and if that didnt work out mike said we could go to his house with the rest of the guys. So we went with tenting in the backyard cause that was our original plan (yes of course we brought a tent and planned to sleep in it, its just what we do)
So we said goodbye and followed megan to her house. By now it was about 3:30am when we got to her house and she invited us in before we went to set up our tent in the back yard. Julie, mandi and kristen were already there so we all decided we'd watch a movie, I dont exactly remember the movie all that well but I remeber that it was about some guy that gets drugged and strapped in a wheel chair and they were going to do stuff to him but he some how got up these stairs and the guys followed him up the stairs and he knocked them out a window with his wheel chair and they fell and most likely died, I think thats where I finally fell asleep in the chair I was in and everyone else was asleep too, then whe the movie was over I just woke up when the credits were rolling and then I heard somone coming downstairs, I didnt know who it was at the time but I guessed it was megans mom and she looked at me first and then saw dustin and kristen beside each other with a blanket and ryan sleeping under the christmas tree. She then said "who are you, who are you and who are you! Get out" Of course megan never told her parents about us staying over in the backyard and she wasnt awake to speak for us it was just me and dustin and kristen and kristen was speechless. We then akwardly had to try and wake ryan up and he said something like "I dont want to get up" Where which we replied something like we gotta go, like really have to go so he finally got up and we were put outside. The cold was such a shock after being in a warm house all that time so with were shivering and shaking with no control in dustins car, then dustin realized he left his keys inside the house and had to go back in and get them, which was even more akward.
So then finally we started the car and tried to warm up and stop shivering, wondering what the heck just happend. Then we realized hey we're in keswick and we don't know how we got here really and we need to get back to newmarket. So we just drove and some how made it back to newmarket and decided we'd go with our original plan, To tent in the farmers field by Sara's. By the time we got there it was now 5:30 am I believe and we were soo tired having not really slept yet, so we were too lazy to actually set up the tent. We decided then that we'd just sleep in the car parked in the dead end by Sara's house. So dustin pulled out some blankets from the trunk and we fell asleep pretty much sitting in the small confines of the LUVPRPL.
After getting about 2hrs of sleep I got up and the car was totally fogged up and we couldnt see ouside so I went outside to stretch and I layed on a rock on someone's yard and dustin woke up and layed on the horn by accident, which woke ryan up and probabaly everyone in the neighbourhood, so we all got back in the car now that we were awake. Then Dustin was just about to start the car when all of a sudden two police cruisers pull up and block us in the dead end. By now we just had everything go wrong for us so we just kind of laughed as they came out of their cars and walked over toward the car.
They then told dustin to roll down his window and they started asking us question. They asked us if we had been drinking or if we were high? and we said no, no and they asked what we were doing here so we just told him the whole story about us being at another place and they kicked us out so we came here to sleep and just fell asleep in the car for a couple of hours, then he asked us where we were from and we told them Barrie and Washago, and he was just like what are you doing here and we told him we were at a new years party and we were too tired to drive home. So then the other officer came to my window and then he just asked "Is this sexual?" and we were just like ewww sick nooooooooo, and he kind of backed off almost dissapointed. So then they finally were just like well you aren't high your not drunk your just not all that smart you guys should go find something to eat and go home. So then they drove away and we just kind of laughed it off and glad we didnt get in trouble. (Good Old Word of Wisdom).
We decided after all that why not get something to eat like they told us but we wern't about to go all the way back to barrie. So then we went to Mcdonalds cause it was one of the only places open and we had some breakfast sandwhiches and juice and sat for awhile talking about everything that just happend. By now it was about 8:00 am and we didnt want to call anyone cause it was still very early. So we decided to just go to mikes and hoped someone answered and let us in, cause he already invited us to stay over. So we got there and at about 8:30 am - 900 am and knocked on the door and waited patientely hoping for someone to answer. The Mikes mom finally answered and we told her everything that happend. She kind laughed about the whole story and was just like it happens. Then she was like well Dylan and Mike and Spencer are downstairs you can go wake them up.
