CTV NEWS!!

I'm also currently on the front page of the website for CTV news. No. Big. Deal.

Hello bloggy-world!!

I WAS JUST ON THE NEWS!!!! It was for CTV news' feature story on the 6 o'clock news!!

Here's the link (I'm going to try to get a hard copy to post so that I'll still have it when they eventually take this link down, so I'll post when I get it)!

My only complaint is that I look stoned in the still that they chose to use for the main photo... heh.

But seriously, just kidding about having any complaints, cause they did SUCH an amazing job of accurately portraying EDS and my fight with it (including my fundraising and upcoming surgery) in the limited time they had! And not only did they say really nice things about me on TV, they (Brent and Tamara) are SO nice in person!! I was really nervous about doing the interview, but they made me feel so comfortable. It was over-all SUCH a great experience. =)

And JUST since it aired tonight, we've already received more than $1500 in additional donations through Indiegogo!! I honestly don't even know what to say other than THANK-YOU to all those people from the bottom of my heart.

Anyways, that's all for now! I'm super tired but I just had to blog about this.

P.S. - A friend from Ontario said that she was watching Ellen on a BC channel and during a commercial break, a commercial for CTV's story on me came on!! =O ...So this means that some people watching Ellen saw an ad for my story?! That practically fulfills #3 on my bucket list!! ...Except not. But it was still pretty awesome!

Happy New Years!

I hope you all had a great night- I know I did! Justin came over and played a board game (Settlers of Catan) with my parents and I, and then we all watched Hairspray. =D  He won the game of Settlers... beginners luck! Haha, just kidding. He was really good at it! But I'm definitely not going easy on him next time we play. =P

I'm so excited for 2010... I have a really good feeling about it. I'm slowly coming back...yes, slowly, but surely. It's not something I want to get into any detail about on my blog, but I went through a pretty rough patch in my life. But, I feel like I may be coming back to my true self, so I'm excited. =)

Anyways, back to homework... sigh. 2 books and hours of Math and Science... oh well.

God bless!

P.S.- So... my 12 year molars are still coming in at age 16? Ouch!

Anger and Tears

I am SO upset! I was supposed to go on a field trip with my socials class to a Holocaust exhibit, but now, the day before, my parents said no. NO!

The reasons:

1) I have too much school work

2) My mum’s too busy to drive me

3) I’ve had a ‘bad attitude’ (misinterpreted I say!!)

I even phoned around trying to figure out someone to carpool with, and when that didn’t work, I looked up the transit routes out there, and was possibly going to take the bus with my friend. But NO, that would take too much time away from my school work, and it’s too dangerous.

Anyone who talks to me on a regular basis KNOWS how excited I was. I’ve always been very interested in the Holocaust- though it makes me sad, I find it very interesting. I’ve taken books out of the library and everything!
My keyboard is soaked with salt water, I’m not even joking.

Bottom line:

I WAS SOOOO EXCITED.

AND NOW I’M… UNBELIEVABLE CHOKED.

That is all.
