Snow, Groundhogs and a little bit of Complaining.



Children across Canada today rejoiced as schools all over the country shut down and cancelled classes. New Semesters, Regular classes and Exams were all put on hold against the heavy snow and cold. Wind gusts through the tree limbs at thirty-three kilometers an hour, it feels like negative eighteen (Celsius) and you can only see a good one kilometer in front of you.



And this triggered a severe storm warning?

Well, wait a second it's only ten in the morning, and more is very sure to come. There are heavy Blizzard warnings all over the place, and Kingston is even suffering from thunder and lightning strikes right now! It is said that the "widespread total snowfall amount of 15 to 20 centimeters are likely by the time the storm ends by this evening."

Dayna Vettese, a meteorologist at The Weather Network says that “the worst of the snowfall is over for the Toronto area and the system is now tracking east towards Kingston and Ottawa.” These areas are expected to see up to 20 cm of snow by the time the storm rolls through


Look out, more snow!! Okay so I understand snow is bad if it accumulates and yadda yadda but it's just snow! I'm a Canadian, I'm used to worse weather in this. For hell's sake I wear a sweater in this weather, screw the winter jacket! (Yeah and I wonder why I get sick.) Complain all you want, I thrive in the cold so I'm unaffected really, it's the getting wet part that bugs me personally.



In other news, Groundhogs across Canada today agreed that yes, Spring is around the corner. What bothers me about said prediction is that Wiarton Willie, my area's hog, was kept in a plexi glass cage. In the middle of winter. With nothing but hay. He didn't even go outside. This, and I believe I saw a Shadow. If I can see a shadow, the darn hog can too... Stupid humans deciding for him 3<

And so, Canadians can expect an early spring. If you believe in the predicting powers of a groundhog.

Off to play in some snow,

Are Humans Really This Stupid???

There is a website that I go online to every day, that is basically my second home. Now, the majority of the population are women, and a growing number are men however a good chunk of the men are gay.

Now, being gay is not a bad thing at all, you love who you love and love them how you want to... HOWEVER. Knowing that, why do some users still insist on saying "that's so gay" and other words that they use to obviously hurt other's feelings.

A Form popped up the other day of a girl who said that she "told a little girl she was married to a vampire". This is all in fun of course, but a lot of people thought she meant good ol' Edward Cullen, from the movie saga 'Twilight'.

Now when this was brought up, the original user posted back in very large 18-point red font;

nope only i'm lucky enough to be married to a vampire
and not a twilight one
edward is so GAY :laugh:


This really irked me to no end, so I had to reply. Now of course this will result in me being blacklisted from whatever Forums she ever makes but I really don't care. What irks me more is in her signature she is begging for some Gold because she's 'poor'. Yup, insult half the website and then beg for charity. Bloody brilliant.

So I replied back;

I;
By Gay you mean happy, right! XP


Her;
nope don't like edward at all
he needs a haircut
not to mention plastic surgery *rolls eyes*
and gay does not mean happy in this sense


And I;
You don't have to like him.
I'm just saying that using the word 'gay' instead of the word 'stupid' or something worse, which I beleive you meant, is pretty offensive. Now if the authour of the books said he was gay, then I do apoligize whole-heartedly.


So she hasn't responded for a few minutes. Meaning that she's probably off looking for evidence of him being gay. Ah, fan girls, whatever shall we do with them? I just hate people that use the word gay as an offense. The only time it's hilarious is when it backfires and you yell "you're so gay" at a gay guy. And even that gets tiring after a while.

Choose something else to waste your time on. Like watching Television.

I just wasted five minutes of your life.

Violence will get me nowhere but I am so freaking peeved.

There's this person who, let's say his name is John, has not spoken to me properly since last Thursday. Now, John and I have this relationship, well, he is an older family member.

I called him on Thursday to speak with him, but there was no answer from his cell or his home. So I left him a text but he never got back to me. So without hearing from him until Monday, not a call, not a text, I sent out an email to John and a woman named... How about Suue?

So Suue replies, she's fine about the email I sent out- as it was about something I would like to purchase from eBay. So the first thing John sends me on Teusday, after almost six days of worry, he emails me saying; "no I don't want to buy something from the UK."

Excuse me?! D:
And I dont want to tell him how angry I am because, honestly, I'm braver on a computer than in real life. In real life around people I'm really not good at speaking out my feelings. Here online you actually have an Edit button :P

And yesterday he calls and doesnt even mention the countles messages on his answering macheines. I just handed the phone to Suue.

It just makes me mad. It's like not seeing a lover for a year and they havn't told you where they went. Then they come back and the first thing they do is sit on the couch and watch television. It's just-

Bashing my head on a desk,

Starlicide!! Who caused 200 birds to suddenly fall, dead, from the sky?

The United States Department of Agruiculture. Wow, America, way to poison over 200 Starlings! You go America!

Not.

They say that the little birds were eating all of the farmer's feed for animals, and then leaving droppings on the left over feed and the macheinery. So, the U.S.D.A. decided to put out a poison called 'DRC 1339', which is a kind of chemical salt. Hydrocliric acid is used to nullify the molicules in chemicals down to a salty residue.

And the U.S. killed all of these birds... because they were tying to survive?! That's really humane. Yup, these little birds are trying to survive a harsh, cold winter by eating some food. So let's poison the little buggers!

*stomps around and rips hair out of head*

It's not fair!! If you went to a Starbucks to get a coffee or hot chocolate, because you were hungry or wanted to get warm... And somebody slipped a cube of poison into your drink, that would be illegal!! Is it not illegal to kill over 200 innocent animals?!

Humans beleive all the time that we are above all other animals, and we are not! We are absolutely not on the top of the food chain. Even with all of this technology, it's made us stupider than human-kind has ever been!

So I ask you, dear reader, was it fair to kill these Starlings?

Angered to the point of yelling,

Why Don't People Like To be Challenged Anymore?!

Everybody in their lives has role played another person. Where it be a Policeman in "Cops and Robbers" or Ezio in "Assassin's Creed", everybody does it. But some people take it to levels were they design their own characters, and role play online with each other.

Two guy friends of mine just love doing this, however they always use images of anime that they either draw or just find on Google. Last night the older of the two friends suggested they use real human photos instead of anime photographs. He was quite excited, had me help him design his character and then he went off, found a model that looked like his character and photographed her.

He was THAT excited.


(Image not the one he took but is an example of anime to real life.)

So today he was trying to help the younger one and the younger said that he really did not want to do real photos, just wanted to stick with anime. My friend snapped a little, saying;

Come on, get a little out of your element. It's best to be challenged in life otherwise it's all f[***]ing boring..


To which the younger merely typed out; "*shakes head*"

But when the older friend, the one who is closest to me, told me about this.... Well I thought about how my generation really does just seem to want to be told things and want things to be easiest for them. Where is the challenge in life if things get handed to us on a silver platter? If adults are always there to cover our asses when we screw up?

Granted that's what a mum or dad is for but what happens when all your life you've been sheltered? Staying inside your house all day until it was time to head out to school in the morning at 7:56AM, and were picked up right after school at 2:50PM (Heck yes I remember my Middle School times)... I mean come on of course you'll be used to getting whatever you want, you wont be socialized properly to society.




But what about others? Abandoned all their life, forced to care for themselves day and night. Not wanting to accept help from a Shelter because of pride that may be hurt. And then, most of the time I've seen, once they've been accepted into a family then they get special treatment for a while. Do you want anything? Do you have everything you want?

This generation is ALWAYS going to be asking for things on a silver platter. And what happens when we all grow up and we have to help the next generation survive? What happens when some of us have to become teachers and professers? The first to visit Mars? The first person to find a cure to cancer?

Well unless every one steps up their game and takes a few steps out of their comfort zone, everything is going to go to shit. We wont HAVE teachers and professors, or the first to visit Mars or a cure for cancer.

In Photography class, during the past month we have been working with what I call the "Flash Box". Now of course this probably is not the real name for it, but basically if you don't discharge the energy from it properly before unplugging it, the chances of you ending up dead are about 99%

In this class, so far I am the only female to touch the box willingly. I took a step out of my comfort zone, confronted the thing that could fry my brains out, and won! With a few little pushes by my wonderful teacher before-hand, I actually did it! The thrill I felt was amazing, and I couldn't stop playing with it. Discharge, take a picture or five, then discharge again. It really was great to know I had control over it.




But others in the class, boys and gals a-like are all just terrified. They want the teacher to do it for them. They want it handed to them on this silver platter. And I just roll my eyes and walk away because all you have to do with this box is turn it off, discharge it and unplug it.

Bringing back to what started this rant, if somebody asks you to step out of your comfort zone, then do it. If somebody asks you to use a human photo rather than an image from a graphic novel, do it and have fun with it. If somebody asks you to play street hockey instead of soccer that day, do it!!

Satisfied with my first real rant,
The Night Angel.

Apoligizing here because face-to-face would make me cry.

Today I went over to my Grandparent's house, right? And I logged into the laptop and then my Grandmother asked me about when I lost my cell phone at a nearbay mall. About why I didn't want to tell my mum about it.

After explaining for a bit, I got realy confused because she told me she had read it on my blog... but after checking all of my posts I don't see anything. Maybe I did but I don't often delete posts, only edit them if I have incorrect spelling.

Haha, I don't know. I've said some stupid things in my life time, hurt too many people... But this one stings. I know I've hurt her, and though I don't know my exact words, to you, Nanny, I do whole-heartedly apoligize.

Feeling down,
Tomo.

"Ass-Bros."

This is what people are starting to call "Assassin's Creed; Brotherhood". And I hate it with a passion. I don't care how easy it is to remember, if I have to hear one more homophobic comment- from my family who's been saying this- I am going to go bat-sh*t insane.

I mean, saying just "Ass-Bros." was going to be fine with me. Yeah, that's kind of cool, short-form it and make it easier to remember, not bad. Until, not to point fingers, my dad and Uncle started turning it REALLY into what you read when I type it. "Ass-bros.". Or for the more confused, "ass brothers."

I'm a huge supporter of LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) rights, and one side of my family.... Doesn't quite get that yet. Though I've been a supporter for oh, I don't know, most all my life?

I mean come on! You disgrace my passion, my lifestyle, and then you disgrace not only me but most my friends by making the homophobic remarks following your saying of "Ass-Bros."

I don't care if they're two men and you happened to take a screenshot as Leonardo was bendng down in front of Ezio to pick up a paper. I. Don't. Care. It was one scene!! And they hug! That's fine, I'm sure guys hug all the time.
"But, Night Angel, they kiss too!"
Well yes, because in the Rennaisance everybody pecked cheeks.

Shut. Up.

I am so SICK of constanly having to tell everybody to stop saying this!! I'm serious, the next person who says it to my face gets a CD case to the head >.<

Down to the last straw,
Tomo.

Oh, that's right! (I Remembered!)

Hello again, I've remembered my topic for today!

Tattoos.

I really quite badly would like to get a tattoo. This tattoo I've already planned out, made sure it's got heaps of meaning to it, that I love the design and I've even chosen where it would be best for me to get it done.

But my mother is absolutely against me ever getting a tattoo.

So I was thinking shrink the design and put it behind my ear or on the back of my neck; easily covered by hair. But see now that I've posted that, if my mum sees she'll check. And if I do have one by then I'll be in trouble XD

So I don't know, where do I want to get it? Do I want to explain to her all of it's meaning? XD

Confuzzled,
Tomo <3

Well, I forgot what I was going to blog about XD

So I'll blog about forgetting my original blog!! :D

I was going to write about who knows what, and as sooooon as I log into Blogger, the topic is lost. That happens so often to me!
Does it happen to you as well?

I hate when it happens because, especially if it's something important, usually you'll forget!

I hate it XD

Annoyingly bored,
Tomo <3

Why... I've Entered an Art Contest!

Hello everybody!

Yes, that is right, I have entered an art contest. It's not a very big one, just something on an Avatar website that I go on. But hey at least it's something to blog about!! :D

I get to do a computer graphic of two characters that are very important to a very cute couple! The two are holding a contest for whoever gives them the best art of their characters, so I'm excited to give them some stuff X3

Slacking at School,
Tomo <3
