There has been a twist!

Saddddd. Casey's gone! Better him than Jordan though, I guess. Big Brother this season has been all for taking out the nice people, and leaving the schemers in, like Ronnie, Jesse, Natalie and Russell, it's just silly. (Also, Russell was the only one to vote Jordan out - not down!)

But there were two other surprises last night:
1) The cliques have been sepreated! Now no one will be protected when a team-member win's HOH - everyone has to fend for themselves. The show is definetely going to get more intense now, because the houseguests are going to have to rely on their alliances more than ever, and hope to god that they don't get stabbed in the back. We'll see how this unfolds!

2) The best of the two surprises, the new Coup d'Etat meaning, AMERICA/CANADA GETS TO VOTE. We, the viewers, now have the option of voting for a houseguest, who can then use the power of the Coup d'Etat to save the two nominees for eviction, and put their own nominees up just minutes before the vote. This means that everyone will have to really think about how they feel about each and every houseguest, and figure out what they would do in the event that they were up on the block. Also, the power of the Coup d'Etat is something that only the one who posesses it will know about - meaning, the other houseguests won't be told, so they can't think of gameplans. It's totally spur of the moment voting.
This, honestly, has been one of the coolest twists in any reality show I've ever seen. I love that I now have some kind of domination over the show!
Vote Jordan or Kevin! (or Jeff!) http://www.cbs.com/primetime/big_brother/interact/americas_vote/

And as a final gift from me to you, because you all care so much, here are some photos from the Big Brother fan group on Facebook. (I have some seeeerious issues)

power couple power couple! Aw man, they're adorable!

They're both so lame.

Ronnie wants da cock!

.....Seriously. This is not okay.

Monkey man Russell, so awesome yet so terrible.

I think this is the best picture I've ever seen.

luv u, Kevin.

letting go

To the boy who I used to love more than anything in the world,
the boy who said he'd never hurt me,
the boy who is losing himself,
the boy who still matters the most,
Beau Bennett.

I don't care if this embarasses you. I don't care if your friends, or anyone else for that matter, see's. I don't care if this makes you hate me forever, because it needs to be said.

I'm sitting here right now, thinking about what you're up to. And I know exactly what you're up to, and thats what bothers me so much. I know that at this moment, you're doing the one thing in the world that never fails to bring me to tears: you're getting fucked up. You're sitting in a shitty basement doing lines with your best friend, and trying to forget all about me. But I know you're thinking about me, because you know how much what you're doing hurts me.
Once upon a time, you promised me you'd take care of yourself, because you had greater plans in life than to end up like some of your friends. I didn't want the promise to be for me - but for yourself, because that's the one person you should never let down. When I told you that my greatest fear was that you would start doing drugs again, you cried. You promised never to make me feel that way ever again, because you know what its like to be let down. I believed you.
I believed with all of my heart that you would be the person that you had all the potential of being, and you were for a while - you were doing so much better. When we broke up, all that stopped. I started hearing that you were spending your days getting stoned and playing video games, never leaving Skylin's basement unless it was to pick up more weed.

I want to think that you're going to be better soon, once you get over me, but at this point I have no reason to feel that way. You're wasting your life, your intelligence, and your talent for absolutely nothing. I know the potential you have, because I've seen it. You could be one of the most amazing teachers in the world one day, you just have to set your mind to it and work for it. Right now, I want you to prove me wrong. Prove to me that you can be something, and make something of yourself, instead of living like a low life. Show me that you're better than your Mom, your friends, and any memory you have, and that you can do great things with yourself. MAKE ME SORRY to have doubted you. I want to one day apologize for ever thinking you couldn't do it, and for thinking that you might stay where you are right now.
Make something of yourself, because you can.

I love you. I always will love you, but you've let me down more than you can even imagine. I'll always have a place for you, even if we can never be around each other, let alone together, again. Just the same, you owe it to yourself to get some help, so that you don't end up an alcoholic, domestically abused, junkie like your Mother. Find someone who will be smart enough to medicate you, and figure your shit out. Learn to trust and love people again, and to get over the insecurities that tore us apart. Treat the next girl better than you treated me, and love her the way she deserves.

I hope that someday you'll remember me fondly, and not have any regrets. I hope you learn from everything that happened in every aspect of our relationship.
Please don't hate me for too long, because I really only want the best for you.

Love always,
Claire

Big Brother Big Brother Big Brother~!

Aw man, it's getting intense now. The boys in the house have decided to stay on Ronnie's side, and Jesse didn't put him up for eviction when he won HOH. EXCUUUUUSE ME?! I thought this was a done deal and that Ronnie would be out!Instead, Jesse put up Jordan and Michelle as pawns to get Casey out some other time.

But k, here's the thing: Michelle is a complete waste of time and space in the house. She doesn't do anything, she sides with the majority, and she sits around on her ass all day long. I know that sounds like a smart game plan, but it's boring to watch. If she doesn't make a move soon, I might be tempted just to mute the scenes when she's on. I know she's a member of the brains, but she isn't playing the game that smartly.



So anyway, the Power of Veto competition took place, and Michelle ended up winning. FUCK! I love Jordan so much, and she's one of my favorite players in the game. This slightly sunk her ship - or I guess more-so dented it, because Michelle wasn't all that liked in the house to begin with. Between the two of them, Michelle was definetely the one to go.
Obviously someone had to be put up on the block to replace Michelle, and Jesse decided to stab his ally in the back and put Casey up.

Now, I'm not a huge fan of Casey - he actually kind of pisses me off. He's the 5th grade teacher/dj at some lame clubs in a small town. He's cocky and looks like what a poor, white, Snoop impersonator. Groooossss. But he's been doing pretty well so far in the game, and has been getting along with everyone - or so he thought. Jesse putting him up on the block instead of Ronnie was one of the biggest slaps in the face in the game.

So much drama....I love it!

I've figured it out!

After like, forever and ever and ever of thinking about it, I've finally figured out boys. Well, kinda. They will never be happy unless they're chasing you - meaning, once you give in and let them know that they can have you, they're no longer interested. This has been the case with every male I've ever even gotten close to, and low and behold, its happening again.
So, the new plan is to be hard to get for the first time in my life. No contact whatsoever. If it doesn't happen because of my lack of effort, then so be it, but I will not be the one to give in. I'm going to be chased and desired and not used, and its going to be a permanent thing.

Good day!

Today has been one of the best day's I've had in a while.
I woke up this morning and went out with Britt, and we went and got slurpees and wandered the drive. Then we went to this block of garage sales and I bought a really gorgeous lace vest for $1.50. SO HYPED. Britt ended up getting a bunch of planting pots and some bowls and a really cute leather bag for like, 7 bucks total or something? Things like that make me love summer, because its the only time of year you can be out for a walk and come across a bunch of cool things.
Afterwards I went over to Sophie's house, and we spent the afternoon lounging in the sun, eating food and blazing. It was a lovely time. Over the course of the day Ella, Kieran, Marissa, Deo, Patrick and her cousin Dinah all came over and joined in on the festivities, and we had a lovely old time. Dinah's really cool and chill and we get along quite well - she also looks a lot like me and said I could possibly borrow her i.d sometime! Cool!

Now tonight is one of those nights where it's necessary to sit at home and watch a cute girly movie with candles lit all around = that's my plan. I'm going to consume lots of popcorn and watch the movie "The Tracey Fragments" (I'll be posting about that one sometime later) with Marija and Lily.




It's so muggy and nice right now, and I'm unbelievably cozy. Plus the sky is red and theres thunder and lighting, and it's absolutely pouring right now. Mmmmm what a good day.

(have some pictures!)

Stoner baby!

the view from my house


so much water!

this side was sooo grey!

japanese kitty stationary makes me happy.

Aw man, I got a letter from Simon today! So exciting and nice! I miss him already.

"Hey there,
So, I'm on the plane and I just read your YB message. Just so you know, it was picture perfect..Well, almost. As I read the words the plane started taking off, then I looked out as a single tear fell onto the pages and then that one Hilary Duff song you put on my iPod came on and ruined the Kodak montage. I realized that I never signed yours so slip this letter in there somewhere and we'll call it even. As for visiting, come anytime; my place is your place. I also think we should be penpals maybe? to help keep in touch? Oh and don't worry, I've made arrangements for Mario (the game, by the way) ....it's safe and awaiting your arrival, but enough of my departure! Its time for cheesy but useful wisdom in my pseudo-signing:

Claire, m'dear, this is Simonskeet. Thanks for being my best highschool bud! You're a true brah. We sure had a lot of fast times, good times, sweet times and rockin' times. Thanks for all of them. But I need to thank you the most for the shit times that made us stronger. I owe you an apology you see, late in grade 12 I realized a hypocrissy in myself. I'm living proof that you should make yourself #1, cause if you can't help yourself, how can you help others? And its okay to let people down, so long as you help them up again. Well then, time to leave you with a quote:
"The Great thing about ruins is onlu beauty comes from them; you can admire the mystery and memories or rebuild anew, repairing the mistakes of before" - Harrison Ford

I prefer the latter. Catch you on the flipside, space cowgirl.

xoxo Simonski

p.s, it's Bop-Ding! I win!"



My heart is bursting with love.

Ahh the power of film.

Consider the film "He's just not that into you" as an ode to dumb females everywhere.

Girls will all tell each other "no, no, he's soooooo down for you, just wait" and then they'll wait, and wait, and nothing'll ever happen. We all think we're being helpful, but really, we're only getting each others hopes up.

What I guess I'm trying to say is that girls, as helpful as they may be sometimes, are absolutely clueless. We have no idea what boys are thinking, or why they do (or don't do) what they do. We just have to deal. Boys will flake and fuck up as much as they like, and really, as a female, the only thing any of us can do is read into it and hope that we're not being totally stupid.

Really, we're all screwed.

Big Brother 11: the rise and fall of Ronnie.

Okay, so you don't even know how hyped I was last night when I realized Big Brother was on. OMG. And it was eviction day, and two of my favorites, Jordan and Laura were up on the block. So sad.

Laura

Okay, so she's easily one of the toughest competitors in the house, and thats the reason she got put up on the block so quickly. She's smart, which was totally unexpected because of the way she looks. (who are we kidding, big tits = no brain, most of the time.) She's not quite as popular as Jordan, but she made a lot of the friends in the house, even though she was one of the biggest threats.

Jordan

Aw man, don't even get me started. I LOVE Jordan, I'm not gonna lie. She's always served as the comedic relief on the show, saying things like "wait...there are 43 minutes in an hour, right?" and just generally being a dumb blonde. She's super tight with almost everyone, because they know she isn't a schemer. She's a kindhearted person, but could easily win the game because she's so innocent.

Obviously Jordan was put up on the block by Ronnie, the HOH, as a pawn to get Laura out of the house. This caused Laura and Jordan, who are both on the Popular team, to turn against each other and try to sway the other houseguests into keeping them in. Laura did a better job of that, because she knew there was a greater chance of her going home.

In the end, Laura ended up exposing Ronnie as the rat when she tried to get his vote before the nomination ceremonies.

I absolutely detest this man. He truly was the rat of the house. He played both sides to such an extreme that they all ended up thinking that everyone hated them, which he sat comfortably in the middle, looking like a saint. Now that he's been exposed, the entire house hates him. The other houseguests were so brutal to him, he had to hide in the HOH bedroom for two days before he had to go into the diary room. After being such a scumbag, there's no doubt in my mind that he'll be going home next week, now that Jesse's won HOH again.

Laura ended up going home, but at least she took Ronnie down with her!

Ahh this show is too good.
But wanna see how they fucked more shit up? http://bigbrothernetwork.com/ Creepiest website of all time. Granted, I check it about 5 times a day to get more in the moment updates on the house (shut up shut up shut up), but they also have a new feature, the "Big Brother: Live Feeds" which are uncensored 24/7 feeds, which you pay $39.99 for 3 months, or $14.99 per month. SO CREEPY. You can see everyone doing everything. Not okayyyy.
I love this show, but my god, not that much. (but if someone bought it for me, I mean......)

hey hey i'm happy

I'm having a really good couple of days - I've gotten shit dooooone!

I've decided not to take the job as a knife salesperson, and instead to be a broke-ass and go to J Levs cabin and be drunk and high for a week straight. Oh, and suntan. That just sounds way nicer to me than going into strangers houses and attempting to sell then 300$ knives during a recession, thanks.

And some lovely things happened recently, but I won't be going into that publicly. I'm stoked!

Here's some music I'm pretty down for right now!

Ahhhhhhh yay!

BIG BROTHER 11

Every summer I have to force myself not to turn into a huge hermit when Big Brother starts. But who am I kidding? Deception, hook-ups, cheating, competition, alliances, betrayal, what more do I need?!
This year though, Big Brother has added another little bonus: instead of each player competing on their own, they're working in Cliques to win the half a million dollars. The groups are as follows: Popular, Brains, Off-Beats, and Athletes. So far, my money's on the Athletes to take it all, but we're only about 6 episodes in, so whoooo knows.


The houseguests are: (from left ro right)Braden, Casey, Chima, Jeff, Jordan, Kevin
Laura, Lydia, Michelle, Natalie, Ronnie and Russell.

BUT THEN: as another twist, they decided to add in a 13th houseguest, just for shits and giggles.
I present to you, ladies and gents, Jesse!

dear lord!

I didn't know people were allowed to be that muscly! To mess things up even more, he was on season 10 of the show, but was evicted in the first episode. OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT.

So far, Braden one of the Popular's has already been evicted, and good fucking riddance! The guy was too greasy for his own good. But other than that, I'm actually secretly rooting for the Popular team. Jordan's just so cute and stupid with her southern accent, and Laura's tits are just a sight to behold. But at this point, wanting the Popular's to win is like wanting the Green Party to win an election...It'd be fun and cool and all, but what would they really do for you? Neither of the two girls are really putting up much of a fight...

Anyway, just thought I'd nerd out for a second there! Watch watch watch away! I'll be sure to let everyone know what happens next Tuesday night at 8!

i'll be there for you?

Lately, I've felt really abandonned by a lot of the people I care about. Some may know this, others may not, but two days ago I had to rush myself into the hospital because I had severe abdominal pains. I'm not talking like "oh, a cramp, it'll pass" kind of pains - I'm saying full blown, you cannot sit down, you have to lie in the starfish position on your living room floor while pressing a heating pad firmly to your stomach kind of pains. I was nausaeous, couldn't eat, and drowsy for about 3 hours before I took myself in. The doctors tested me for everything under the sun: thinking I was pregnant, or that I had an STI/STD, that I had hunger pains and was anorexic, but finally they decided that my appendix must be on the point of bursting. Thanks?
Ever since then, with the exception of going to see No Doubt, I've been at home, sitting on the couch with a warming bean bag on my lap. It's the only way I can be without wanting to kill myself. Granted, the pain isn't as bad as it was before - meaning I don't feel like I'm being continuously stabbed in the gut, but the pain does get to that point sometimes.
Since I've been like this, 2 people have come to see me/made any real effort to contact me. Lily was over for a bit, and Marija came over before and after the show, but really, thats it. Some other people have asked me if I wanted to hang out, but when I told them I couldn't really go anywhere or do anything, I was considered a lost cause and forgotten about. I get that everyones doing the Folk Fest right now, but it's nice to have even the slightest bit of recognition when something shitty happens. A phone call, maybe? at least.
I'm bored everyday now to the point of tears. My own brother left me to go hang out with other people, not even half an hour after I was discharged from the ER. There are only so many movies, hours spent on facebook, and updates in my various blogs that I can handle before I start to go crazy. Normally at that point, I would remove myself from my house and find something to do. but i can't. I'm stuck.

This sentiment leads to something else I've felt for a very long time. Two years at least, I think. It's really hard for me to say, but I think it's somewhat necessary. When I was in grade 10, my brother came down with some kind of unknown sickness. He missed 4+ months of school, and the doctors never found out what was wrong with him. He went partially blind, and couldn't walk, read, or write. At that time, my Mum was really sick too, because she'd just had another surgery, and I had to take care of her. I spent nearly everyday at home doing whatever I could for the family, and eventually, I began to resent my health.
If I was sick too, we could all be miserable together, and I'd have some kind of closeness with someone else, instead of being the outsider that I was. Ever since then, I've wanted to come down with some kind of sickness, just so that I could get the attention that I feel I deserve. It's not really ever been a conscious thought, but just something that I would occasionally wonder about.
"If the doctors didn't know what was wrong with me, or I had to have surgery, what kind of reaction would the people around me have?"
Turns out, there wouldn't be a reaction. People would just forget, and not care, because its summer and there are better things going on.
I'm absolutely crushed.
I know that deep down, I appreciate being healthy, and not having any permanent problems - but being in a bad state does draw attention to you, and show you who really does care. Right now, I've got two people. It's a shocking realization I hoped I wouldn't come to so quickly after graduating, but I guess I have.

I don't know how I feel.

my mind has been BLOWN!

Yesterday, I accomplished one of my childhood goals: SEEING NO DOUBT LIVE IN CONCERT. And boy oh boy, I was not disappointed. Bedouin Soundclash opened, and they were really cute and got everyone really happy. I've been listening them for a while, because of all those silly Zellers commercials and whatnot, but also because they were one of Beau's favorite bands. The lead singer is also totally adorable!

What a good looking band, hey?!


Then Paramore came on. I'm not gonna lie, I'd never listened to a full song by them. I'd heard little snippets and stuff, but nothing that I really ever paid attention to. But I was pleasantly surprised by them. They kind of reminded me of a band I would've loved when I was in grade 7 - with a fake punk vibe and still really catchy happy-but-dark lyrics. However, I really enjoyed them. They sounded almost like someone that No Doubt would actually listen to, which made them all the more appropriate as their opening band.


Also, the lead singer totally reminded me of a red-headed version of one of my brothers friends. Ahaha.


See fer yerselves! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEGYgcRFKmc

But then, la pièce de la resistance!

!!!!!!

You don't even know how hyped I was. I'd been waiting for that moment since I first heard the band, when I was in Nova Scotia with my older cousin, at the age of 8 years old. I fell in love immediately.Gwen Stefani had such amazing stage presence, and her voice was beautiful. Her costumes were all sparkly and glittery, and HER COMBAT BOOTS WERE SO COOL. I still wish I could pull off combat boots, but I've tried, and it just doesn't work.They played all the songs I could've ever wanted. I even got to make a very spiteful phone call during "Ex-Girlfriend" haha. But when "Bathwater" came on, I nearly cried and danced up a storm and died all at once. "Simple Kind of Life" actually did make me cry, though.During their encore, which took a hella long time before they got back on, Paramore and Bedouin Soundclash came back on, and it was amazinggggg! I have no idea what song it was that they sang - like if it belonged to either of the other two bands, or if it was new, or a cover or something, but it was super good. All of their voices worked really well together.

Overall, it was sooo amazing, and even though we had kind of shitty seats in the balcony, it was an amazing experience.

i need to rave about this one!

See, because I've been so stupidly sick in the appendix region lately, (as in over the past day) I've been watching a lot of movies. I'd heard a lot about this one, and figured I'd give it a try, seeing as everyone I know seems to be in love with it. 106 minutes later, I understood why.
Powder Blue had a surpringly strong cast, including Forrest Whitaker, Jessica Biel, Eddie Redmayne (who's really cute!), Lisa Kudrow and my one true love (well, okay, not one, because I love many middle aged men) Patrick Swayze.

MMM AHHH so buff and so nice!

The soundtrack was amazing too, and everything flowed really well.
I guess I'm not the only one, but I like stories that are really fucked up. I like writing them. I like reading them. And I like watching them. The underlying love story in this movie was just enough to bring me out of the bitter state that I've been in for the past week, but so much fucked up shit happensthat it kind of balanced me out. What I guess I'm trying to say, is that I like movies involving strippers, guns, suicide/murder and drugs, and this movie has all of the above!

The only thing I didn't quite get about the movie was the title. It didn't really have any relevance to the story, that I saw, at least. But I mean, I guess there's quite a few things that have gone right over my head lately.

You can watch the trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UySJ-IbXks

So watch away, my lovelies! And let me know what you think!


If none of that tickles your fancy, just know this: Jessica Biel defs gets naked. oooooh!

boys boys boys boys

What troublesome things they are, non?
My love life has turned to shit, but thats okay. Granted, I've gotten more jerked around in the past month than a 14 year old boys penis, but I can deal. Not to say that it doesn't make me dislike the whole male gender, because it kind of does, but I mean, they really are the lesser species. I don't mean that I like, hate them or anything, because thats not the case at all, they just all need to learn WHATS UP. And what's up is this:
- don't promise anything that you don't fully intend on doing. It may sound nice to offer (to do) something, but if you're not going to pull through in the end, no one benefits from it.
- girls like to know they're the only one: before sports, before music, put in a nice place between friends, and last but not least, the only GIRL that you have. Any thought that any of those things come before her, and you won't ever have a happy lady.
- when she says "no", whether it be to sex or anything else, accept it. No amount of booze, drugs, or persuasion should change anything. Respect is the most important thing you can offer any other person, and if you care about a girl, she should be getting that.
- the whole jealousy thing doesn't ever get anyone very far, no matter who does it. Don't make someone else jealous, and don't be jealous - it's hard to do, but it simplifies things, and you are both end up less likely to get hurt.
- EVERYONE has problems. Every single person on the planet has dirty laundry that they don't want to air out, but if you're going to be in a relationship with someone, they have a right to know whats going on in your life. Hiding the things you're ashamed of isn't reassuring to your partner, ever, and only leads to one person feeling like they're not trusted. You need find a balance in giving and taking, and do so as much as possible.
- if you're lying about something or attempting to cover something up, that generally means it's BAD and you should not be doing it. So, for the sake of everyone, don't.
- "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, fool me three times...." You only get so many chances. I believe that everyone deserves two, but beyond that, if you continue to fuck up, there's only so much that can be done. If messing up and ruining something the first time wasn't enough to teach someone how to do things, it's never going to be any different, no matter how many chances you give them.

Obviously there's more, but that felt like it was the most relevant for me or for the people I know in the past little while.

I'm kind of looking forward to being single. Really, I am. Not to say I would've thrown away a relationship to be on my own, because I never would do that, but when things don't work out, sometimes it's for the best - and I'm not going to try to change something that's meant to be.
It's hard putting everything you have into someone, and then having them throw it back in your face, as though it wasn't good enough. But there's no point in lingering on that - I've learnt my lesson, and thats all that matters!

balance?

I realized today how much I appreciate well balanced people, in weird ways. To elaborate a little bit more, I was looking around facebook, and I realized how much some peoples personalities can contradict themselves. For example, one of my friends is one of the biggest Disney kids I know, and is also a burlesque dancer - but when you look at her from the outside, she seems like a little hippie more than anything else. And the great thing about that is that there's no judgement. As odd as it would seem to put things like that together, and form one person, it flows nicely, and makes a person that gets along with more people.
Maybe people have been like this all the time, I just haven't noticed. Or what would make more sense, given my age and the people I surround myself with most of the time, that people hide these traits because they're afraid of what people might think - or haven't even discovered those sides of themselves yet.
This picture pretty much shows what I mean, and is what sparked this whole thing in the first place:


I'm not really sure where this is going, but its an interesting thought. I wonder what people think of me in that sense - am I one of those seemingly unbalanced people who really has everything figured out? (or at least semi?)

half blood prince!

I don't know how many people are as in love with Harry Potter as me, but it seemed like there were quite a few who were pretty darn close at the midnight screening of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince last night/this morning at the Rio. Granted, I didn't dress up, because I had a bit of a wardrobe malfunction, but I really was Hermione in spirit.

The movie itself though...I'm not so sure. It seemed like they were trying to make it more of a comedy than it was supposed to be - Ron wasn't the only funny one, like he was in the books. Instead, Dumbledore had some of the funniest moments in the film, and most of Harry's lines are all sarcastic and directed towards the headmaster, which would NEVER have happened in any of the other books or movies.

One of the biggest issues in the movie, for the characters, is love, or their lack thereof. In one scene, Hermione bursts into tears when Ron and Lavender are making out, and Harry has to go and comfort her. THAT NEVER HAPPENED. I understand the need for a bit more drama in a movie, because it keeps people interested, but it doesn't work the same way when the whole story is from a best selling book.

Hihihi! This is new!

Finally, i'm blogging on a site that is no longer liverjournal - what a relief! Somehow, and I really am unsure how, livejournal seems to bring a lot of drama. Maybe it's the people who read it/used to read it, or all the communities and stuff, but it's gotten booooring.
however, check me out anyway! (even though most of them are friended, anyway)http://clairee-bearee.livejournal.com/
And I mean, who are we kidding, i'll still be using that silly service, just not as much.


I'm happy about this!
