100 Down, 80 More to Go

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I hope you all got many yummy heart-flavored word chaulks and mystery chocolates! But, as many might have not noticed, it's the 100th day of school!(in QHS at least) This means there is only 80 days left until my freshman (Secondary 3) year of High School is finished. Which is a pretty cool thing in itself. And then I thought to myself: "But Will, theres a very good chance no one cares that its the 100th day of school, or that Will is sort of almost a quarter done with High School." So, to appease you whiny little peons, I decided that, for the good of all who read this, that it's time for another list!

Here are some things I've done since the beginning of the school year:

Gone on an RTC bus approximately 400 different times
Doubled my french language comprehension
Gone to 500 classes in Quebec High
Worn 5 different "Tucs"
Still haven't had a single KinderSuprise
Gone home twice
Bought 7 posters
Gotten Guitar Hero 3 for Wii
Beaten Guitar Hero 3 for Wii on Expert
Pushed back my countdown until Super Smash Bros Brawl come out- 3 times
Spray Painted a shirt (see below)
Finally obtained an Ipod Classic
Doubled my Itunes Library
Multiplied the amount of gigs in video on Itunes by 5
Developed an obsession with Scrubs
Obtained a cell phone
Learned to play Pirates of the Carribean on Caleb's Guitar
Drinken about 120 cans of Root Beer
Tried playing in a marching band
Gone to the Winter Carnivale
Ran away from the Bonhomme des Carnivale
Visited Montmorency Falls twice
Completed 10 french dictees 3 times each

And finally...
I've created a blog





Now about that shirt...

"I know nothing about St. Valentine, I can only assume he's the patron Saint of overpriced greeting cards."

Red Bull Grace Pool Smash Cloverfield Super Ipod Monster Bowl Crashed Ice- in 3 Days!

So maybe I didn't do all those things in 3 days. But also maybe thats more than one thing and I "haven't found the time" to write about any of them over the 3 to 4 weeks I've done them. So, to sum up in but several sentences; *deep breath* "Smash bros. came out in Japan, leaks are all over the 'net. I went to Red Bull Crashed Ice, it was kinda cool. Concert after was awesome. I got an Ipod! Thank you Debra Copeland! I SAW CLOVERFIELD! Clovie was, yes, a beautiful and majestic creature. See it yesterday or else.
So I've lived in Canada for about 5 months now, and it amazes me how much I'm still suprised by little things that are hardly noticeable but still so canadian they bleed maple syrup. Simple things like the fact that all the mounties (citizens) up here call whoopie pies Joe Louies. Joe Louie sounds like a drunk fat italian you meet at a ball game who smells like tobacco. Or how gumdrops= JubJub's. OR my personal favorite; how they call tjhe DS's touch screen a tactile screen. I'm not trying to be a snobbish American pig-dog tourist, I;m just saying it still throws me off. I mean, what would the first Nintendo DS ad campaign look like? This??


I'm sorry, T'would be silly.
On an ending note, Bonhomme de Carnival is the creepiest creature I've ever had the misfortune of seeing. Just thinking of it gives me the hibbliy jibblies.
