<joel> well, last night, a surprisingly nice surprise came along - my grandmother called me and asked if she would like to accompany her and my aunt to see 'The Miracle Worker,' the latest production from the coveted Saint John Theater Company. WELL NOW - can you say holy crap??? I mean, it was just explosive, to finally see the full story of Helen Keller in an all-out theatrical production, with a beautiful scene, talented actors, a great script - and Sandra Donelly-Tobias as Annie and Felicia Rodrigues as Helen Keller, BOTH soooo good! it was also nice to see some artsy people (and some I even regonised) and I felt right at home for some reason... well anyways, apparantly Kate and Hayley were there, but I didn't see either. it's so nice to get out and see a professional play once in a while sometimes, though, it's really really good. anywho so then I came home, and this morning I went for my run, which was painful, to say the least. anyways, that's all from Joelie, I might be going shopping today!!!

<joel> WELL now! update since thursday afternoon: for starters, well - no, I'll tell you in heart-wrenching detail. so practice started nicely, I nice big group, we did little excersizes, nice and calm, and then we talked for a while and then Gaétane said that it was time. almost instinctively, we all took out our copies of the play with a 'whoosh' and we all gave each other 'the look.' She then assigned us roles; JF to Xavier, Jacques to Romain, and me as... Stick. a minor role. but it wasn't permanent she said, and within a few pages, she changed us around. this time, I was Romain, JF was stick and Jacques was Romain. whew. I was in the clear, I was in the role I wanted, and she would surely changed J.F. and Jacques back into their original roles, leaving me where they were, and everything would be served. wrong. yes, Gaétane changed JF and Jacques' roles allright, but mine as well. this fiasco went on for about a half an hour up until she made the decision about the roles: JF got Xavier. no surprise there. but then, (and I was in complete disbelief when she said this:) Jacques got Romain. and me? what did I get?? oh, STICK! this abusively retarded minor role person with very few lines and a lot of 'impact.' WELL, I was was very very hurt because first of all, I was the one putting all the effort forth as the only male dancer with 7 other girls last year. and Jacques? he waltzes RIGHT in and gets the lead role. it isn't his fault though, don't get me wrong... as much as I'd love love love to blame him, and hate him for it, I can't. Gaétane was to blame. so, the following morning, (or this morning, whatever) I went up to her and asked for an explanation. her side of the story? I can't say, it's like ultra-personal, but I will tell you what it brought to me. partial comfort. she explained to me where she was coming from, and why Jacques would have gotten that role. and surprisingly enough, it wasn't because of me, let's just say it has to do with versatility. so anyways that's all on that, she said she'll try to make my role better, which I really hope she does... I want to win and award or at LEAST more stage time and recognition then last year!!!!!
Longest Entry Ever,
Stick
</joel> <!--05:25-->
<joel> hey all, just getting in an entry before class. Theater was pretty cool, we finally got a chance to see our new play! I have no idea what it's called, but I have a copy right now. (WOW!) There are 4 principal characters in it: Julie et Vanesse; obviously destined for Marie-Ève and Marielle, and there's also Romain and Xavier, one of which will go to J-F, and the other one... well, you know where I'm really hoping it will go. all the girls in my class are peeved over this because they won't have a role, basically guaranteed, unless we turn 'Xavier' into a girl, because Romain is essential to be a guy. I sooooooo hope I can get another role though, it would mean more recognition as a person at my school, and lots of racked up experience in the troupe, even if I have lots more outside theater experience then some in the troupe. you can't isolate theater in a city, but due to our language it's basically what we have to do, and we are restricted to but our own little theater (well, not SO little, but you know) and the north of the province in April-ish, (God willing that we make it there.) now, I say we, in hope of being part of the troupe this year, but it all depends on tonight and my performance in the deliverance of the lines. without that, I'll either have to desperately latch myself on to some other part of the troupe, such a technic (did I spell that right??) or décor or something like that. but otherwise... you know, it's kind of what I would like. getting a big role would mean getting on better terms with Marielle and Marie-Ève, which could hopefully only be a good thing. anyways Danielle will eat me, g2g!
I want a good role!!!

<joel> yo yo, Thursday morning here, and I am POOPED!!! it's the weirdest thing... I woke up yesterday morning feeling UN-refreshed, UN-good and UN-rested. now, ya'd THINK that I'd be hellishly tired last night and would not want to do anything but sleep... but NO! my body conveniently decides to deprive me of all possible sleep. I mean, I was tossssin' and I was turrrrrnin' but nothing was working, it was retarded. so I finally fell asleep @ 12:30 last night, woke up, got up from bed unwillingly and then collapsed. ow. so anyways, I was talking to Mawnda Pawnda last night, as well as Jen, both highly commendably amusing convos. however, the convo with Jen veered from talking about our friends to which animals are the funnest to play with after dissected. eww... anywho Pierre and Jessica could humanly not be annoying me more. I mean, they're soooo... "clicky," meaning that they have their own exclusive little group thing going on due to the fact that we go to Sam-de-Cham. God, I really do honestly hate it. and what's more is that Pierre feels the strong need to insult me as MUCH as he pleases, which is soooo retarded, 'cause what did I do to him?? NOTHING! that's what's so gay in this situation... anywho I'm quite the bored boy now, I think I'm going to mosey away.
OK Dokey,

<joel> Hey all, this has gotta be short because I'm ultra-squeezing this in between classes, TALK about rushed! I just completed another God-awful compréhension écrite just now, although I don't think I did as bad as 56% (yeah, that was yesterday...) and I was right disspointed, but my mom was all like "Ouhhhh that Monsieur LaPlante is such a dink!" and I kinda laughed, but that's not going to bring my average up! lately (well, all today) Dominique has been constantly telling me all about how much Alicia told Dom that she likes me. -sigh- I SO doubt it, we're too much as friends. lol! anyways what a gray day, rain rain RAIN is the constant freaking forecast at all hours of the day lately, it's quite the crapper. last thing - Hayley said that she might have gotten food poisoning from having pizza at the Riverboat for her staff party... I'd better not tell Amanda that in fear of Hayley's physical well being. :-) lol well g2g!!!
Sore fingers and rushed mind,
*cough* Joel *cough*
</joel> <!--03:08-->
<joel> yeahhh... am I ever tired. I couldn't sleep, because I was constantly thinking of 'The Ring' and 'The Horror of Ringu' and crap, which traumatised me deeply and makes me feel like the biggest nerd EVER because all I seem to talk about lately is that, and it's making me feel like the biggest loser. Therefore, I am quite obviously exhausted. anywho on the way to school this morning (if you are eating or drinking something, or simply have a sensitive stomach, I do not reccomend reading the following between the 3 asterisks:) ***I gagged reapeatedly for no reason other then thinking of going to Hell and having two options: To either live constantly IN the base of a full porta potty (humanly and not-so-humanly contents and all,) or being freed on the condition that you consume everything in there in less then 24 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh GOD that wrong, but just goes to show how oh-so-very wrong my mind is.*** so AnYwAyS, this kinda cheeses me off, Jen's friend Tara tells me she's all anti-guy, doesn't need a boyfriend, the next day her nickname is "(L) Tim (L)". I mean, it's one thing to go against what you say, but it's another to disrespect yourself like that. anyways that's all from me, time for another negative day of school!!!
Oh gee golly gosh,

<joel> hey, Monday aftahnoon, I'm home - I went to Mariel's, with Neil hurting me with chainsaws and such.. ! ah, well. then we went to Alicia's, had our solemn 2 minutes of silence, and then just chilled. I tried to find the tape from the ring to scare the crap out of Amanda, but I couldn't! ah, well. so then we went to Jim Bob's, and got some stuff and then we split - and so here I am! c ya'z
one gray day,

</joel> <!--02:45-->
<joel> houh! last night was fun, (of course.) Mariel and Alicia came, Mariel DID cover her eyes a lot, but in the end, she was traumatised. I don't know which was worse, though... Thomas woke up in the middle of the night screaming "HELLO? SAMARA SAID SOMETHING!" omg it was hilarious, but sad at the same time because he was really freaked out, and since it woke me up for a while. Remember how I also invited Mirage? WELL, Mirage invited Alexandra, as well as her boyfriend Eric, and as a result of that, Pierre came along as well! so, it was four instead of an expected 1. ah, well - it's kinda typical of Mirage, but still a bit rude. em, it's Rememberance Day, and I know it's an important day and everything, so I changed my nick to "Think why they fought that war, Who did they fight it for?" it seems direct enough to make you think, or I'm hoping. I do respect the veterans, and my Grandad was one himself, before he passed away before I was born... anyways, remember, ya'll!!
In the norm,
JoElll
</joel> <!--21:57-->
<joel> ya, it's Sunday aftahnoon, just got finished wrapping a big-bum pile o' presents for Christmas, and it's SO pretty lookin', wut with all da perty lookin' ribbuns n' glittor and all dat fancy shnazz... lol, anyways, and Alicia is coming to see The Ring as well, and so is Tom, but if he comes in our social circle I'll shoot him down with my pocket taser! I can't wait, it'll be a nice escape for me, and that is what I need. plus, the reaction on Mariel's face WILL be timeless, even if like 99.9% of the time she'll cover her face... ah, well! I'm sure Mirage will enjoy it, and Alicia can just sit away from us, (_well beside Mariel_) but whatever.. so ya, and my mom freaked out at Tom for his regiment of carbonated beverage and mini marshmellows, all the while sneaking it. as an aspiring dietitian, I think this is horrendous, and should be ruled out altogether? I mean, pop, yes to an occasion, but who the frick eats marshmellows? maybe during some wholesome campfire situation, but for what else? Kansas-style pork surprise casserole? nu-uh! don't think so! so that would extremely wrong. so anyways, enough for me, tty'allz latah!
One odd fellow,
Sir Joel
</joel> <!--05:32-->
<joel> Joel here, (no, REALLY) nothing is that terrible anymore, I mean, I believe I've recovered yet again, because I've seen other people with worse things going on now, I realise that I'm not that bad off. (Thinking of you, Mariel!) so anyways, we watched "The Rookie" as a family last night, which wasn't even that bad! but, you know, like a wholesome family movie, it's not like extremely memorable or anything like that. I have to wrap some presents today, mom says that I have to. not like I mind or anything, it's no big deal, it's just wrapping gifts! and then tonight, -shudders-, The Ring. Ouhhhh! Spooooookyyyyy... well, it is terribly frightening, so I don't blame myself for shuddering, honestly, it's a really horribly creepy movie, no matter what other people think. anyways so ya Jen told me about this girl, Tara, and she's pretty fun to talk to, Jen makes good reccomendations! anyways it's a Sunday, needless to say I g2g!
Happy to see 'The Ring' tonight,
Jo-o-o- I CAN'T SAY IT RIGHT, MAMA!

<joel> -sigh- what a horrid day. I mean, at like 11:00 this morning, I saw this thing on my desktop called "Aimster Downloads", and since I hadn't used Aimster for AGES, I just deleted it thoughtlessly. I later went in my MusicMatch thing and tried to play Movie Star by The Rascalz, and apparantly the file had been deleted. fuck!!! ALL of my good songs are gone, and now Tom's extremely pissed at me because I deleted ALL his Slipknot songs. so much effort in downloading, all gone! GOD!!! ...to make matters worse, no one was home, either that or grounded, nothing to do but hang around at home, some saturday!!! and I've just been so depressed lately, I don't know what to do, honestly. everyone thinks I'm this huge sulk, but... it's just the way to act, or the way to be, or whatever right now. anyways, that's all I can conjure up, nothing is nothing.
God-awfully depressed inside...
