25 Days until Christmas!!!
Well at first it was hard to tell who Mr. Blake liked, which is kind of a good thing that way we make it into things based on our abilities. However, we have way too many things scheduled for Variety Night so we have to cut about 15 acts. Today we did all of Act 1, Thursday it's all of Act 2. Well at the end of today he told me that the dance I'm doing with Larissa is the only thing he gave a 10 out of 10 for today, so it's definately in. Which is awesome and I guess that means I'm in his good books. Yes finally a REAL drama teacher and he likes me. Cross my fingers I get a good role in the play.
Simon and I were having a debate and then he left me to go to bed and left me all aggrivated. Now I can't blame him for leaving because our debate was getting nowhere, but now that he's gone I have to bitch to someone and because I don't feel like annoying any of my friends, directly, the weblog it is.
Now to the debate, well this debate was sparked by a topic brought up in TOK class. We were discussing absolute moral truths. Now Simon believes in an absolute moral truth, his of course. He believes that his moral truths must be THE moral truth because other wise he has no purpose in life. Now see I have taken the side that there is no ONE moral truth. If everyone has moral truths and they all believe theirs is THE moral truth, and there is no way of finding out what THE moral truth is, who's to say what it is? Who's to say there is one? Who's to say moral truth isn't relative and that it all depends on the person? Okay I don't completely agree with that last question because say someone thinks murder is okay according to their moral truth I wouldn't exactly be okay if some person decided to come kill my entire family, but that's why we need collective truths. It's what the majority believes to be true and that's what we base our laws on so that we can function as a society. Now don't get me wrong I'm not saying that collective truth is right either, because I certainly don't agree with some majority decisions that have been made. I guess what I'm saying is I'm doing exactly what the exercise in TOK was supposed to be stopping, I'm sitting on the fence. The entire point of this exericise was to avoid sitting on the fence. Kind of ironic eh? This exercise only made the problem worse...for me at least.
Well to recap the conclusions I have come to are I don't believe there is a THE moral truth because it is only a concept devised by man and not everyone can agree on what it should be so moral truth is relative to each person. There are moral truths that I believe should be THE moral truth but cannot say they are because there is no way of proving that. Collective truth is necessary for the function of society but is not necessarily "right".
Now as I previously mentioned Simon has to believe that his moral truths are THE moral truths so that he has a purpose in life and that he is promoting the right thing. If I don't believe my truths are THE moral truths what is my purpose then? Answer: I don't know. Maybe that's why I'm so lazy and lack work ethic, because I don't see any purpose to things. I do what I feel like doing, I do what I feel is right, not because I believe everyone else should believe my "truths" or that they should be everyones truths, but because I believe they are right for me, and that's why I choose to be friends with the people I am, because we basically have the same views as to what are the "truths".
Wow so now that I've made myself completely fucking nuts arguing in circles I'll end this and you can contemplate you're own truths and whether you think there is a THE moral truth.
26 Days until Christmas!!!
Just put up my Christmas lights. Best holiday ever!!! If you can't tell it's my favourite from the counting down or previous post explaining why it's my favourite then you should be shot. Lol. I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!
27 Days until Christmas!!!
Parents can be stupid sometimes. Like honestly if I feel like staying up till 3a.m. on the net then sleeping in till 1 the next day, does it really matter? Does it really affect them? No. So let me enjoy my teenage years and do as I please. :p
28 Days until Christmas!!!
Interesting tidbit:
A game-loving Korean man played computer games for eighty-six hours without stopping to eat or sleep. Then he died, he gamed himself to death.
Let that be a warning to all you gamers. Lol.
29 Days until Christmas!!!
Long day, I thought P.A. Days were for sleeping in and not going to school. Stupid Swing Soirée. Oh well the "dinner party" later made up for it. Spending quality time with friends always makes up for anything.
30 Days until Christmas!!!
First of all if you leave a comment please leave your name it's aggravating trying to figure out who said some comments. Now to my exciting morning. I picked up Matt on the way to school today and he asks me "How are the roads?" "Icy" I answer. Little did I know just how icy they were. As I was turning off of his road onto the main road my car keeps turning after I've stopped doing a nice 180. Lol. Certainly not what I expected. It was pretty fun, although I was kind of scared it would go into the ditch. But here I was now taking up both lanes because my car was no longer facing forward but instead the side of the road. Luckily no other cars were coming otherwise I'd be dead. Lol. Exciting morning though.
31 Days until Christmas!!!
Finally finished my dance with Larissa for Variety Night. It's four effing minutes long! For non dancers that doesn't sound long but you try dancing 4 minutes straight hardcore. Lol, hardcore. Oh well it will be awesome!!! I can't wait for this Variety Night, it's going to be awesome! I command you ALL to come see it.
I am soooo incredibly happy to be back in drama. You can't understand. I know most of the people that read this are music obsessed but I have to say my one true passion is acting and not having drama class last year sucked soooo much, and only be able to be chorus in that crap ass play didn't satisfy me, it is sooo good to be back involved.
32 Days until Christmas!!!
Don't you love it when you're talents get noticed? Today in musical theatre Mr. Blake remarked "Wow Jocelyn's sure on fire today." after I had done my second skit and I was like "Yay! Someone noticed I was trying." This is also awesome because it means he noticed my talents and because he is the new drama teacher this year that means I have made an impression and that means I just might get a good role in the big production. Yay!
I have decided T.V. is completely unrealistic. Now don't get me wrong I have not forsaken my first true love, but honestly what parents knowingly let their 17 year old kids go have sex!? SERIOUSLY! Whoever wrote that episode either had really weird parents or are living in a complete dream land. Gahh. Life is so simple on T.V., I wish it really were like that.
33 Days until Christmas!!!
Good things take time, Great things happen all at once.
I just read this quote on Colleen's Live Journal, and I really liked it because it's so true. I just decided to put it down.
36 Days until Christmas!!!
Looooooooong two days. Yesterday was the trip to Stratford which left at 6 a.m. It was awesome!! I love school trips and I love drama and to finally have something that combines the two is awesome! Second City was effing hilarious. The best skit had Pokaroo in it. Lol. Well we got back to school at 3:30 a.m. I went home got two hours of sleep then had to be back at the school for 7:15 for the feeder school tour. For those of you that don't know the feeder school tour consistes of carrying around a bunch of heavy instruments, stands, and sound equipment to four different elementary schools to play for them. Sounds hard, but nontheless it's fun anyway. And now tonight I'm going to see Guys and Dolls at sudbury sec which is funny because that's the play that I saw in Stratford, so Seline if you hear snoring in the audience I apologize in advance. Lol.
38 Days until Christmas!!!
Things are looking up for my singing career. Lol. I started getting singing help from Candace today and I don't think I'm hopeless. Lol. I think she's going to help me a lot, so cross you're fingers that I can get a good part.
40 Days until Christmas!!!
I love oober low-cut shirts (for you compulsive speller righters I know how oober is really spelled I just choose to spell it like this so :P). Sometimes its fun to be a whore for a day. Lol.
41 Days until Christmas!!!
Best party ever!! I finally got to go bowling with the boa, and didn't get six gutterballs in a row this time. Whoot. I love how we play spin the bottle, a game that most people in like grade 6, when we're in grade 12 some in university and still can't keep a straight face while playing. Too bad we didn't play twister again I was hoping for it. Once again, best party ever!!!
43 Days until Christmas!!!
Had a dance preformance tonight, it went quite well. I even won something as a doorprize. Of course it was just a big ugly plate, but still I won, well actually no I didn't technically win, another of the dancers did, but she left so I got her prize, her big ugly prize. Lol. I rule!
44 Days until Christmas!!!
Mmmmm slept in nice and late today. I just love first period spares. You know what is completely weird, I found out today that some of my friends, well Simon in particular, think I am mature. That completely weirded me out, I have NEVER thought of myself as the mature one, I'm the one who laughs when I find out the name of our student teacher is Ms. Cox. How did I ever become the mature one?
On another note I need to update my live journal. I want to make the next entry me asking my three wishes from the leprechaun, but the problem is my "life" in that journal has everything I would want in my real life so I can't think of any possible wishes. Help me with some ideas. Oh for those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about go to my livejournal.
45 Days until Christmas!!!
Lucky me, today I had a total of 15 minutes of class today! Why, you ask. Well... first period spare, all of second period, other than fifteen minutes, taken up by Rememberance Day services, lunch, fourth period spare, then got out of fifth period to go to the dentist. I know everyone hates the dentist, and I do too kind of. But I am proud to say that today I only had 1 cavity. Now shut up you people who are like "I have never had a cavity in my life." I lost track after like 10, I must have A LOT by now. I once had 9 in one check-up, mind you some of them were so small they didn't need to be filled and went away on their own. So YAY only 1!
46 Days until Christmas!!!
Les poissons, les poissons
How I love les poissons
Love to chop and to serve little fish
First I cut off their heads
Then I pull out their bones
Ah mes oui, savez toujours delice
Les poissons, les poissons
Hee hee hee, haw haw haw
With a cleaver I hack them in two
I pull out what's inside
And I serve it up fried
God, I love little fishes, don't you?
Here's something for tempting the palette
Prepared in the classic technique
First you pound the fish flat with a malette
Then you slash off their skin
Give their belly a slice
Then you rub some salt in
'Cause it makes it taste nice
Zut alors, I have missed one!
Sacre bleu, what is this?
How on earth could I miss
Such a sweet little succulent crab
Quel Domage, what a loss
Here we go, in the sauce
Now some flour I think just a dab
Now I stuff you with bread
It don't hurt, 'cause you're dead!
And you're certainly lucky you are
'Cause it's gonna be hot in my big silver pot!
Tout-aloo mon poisson
Au revoir
I had to it's been stuck in my head all day. Plus who doesn't love Disney and sadistic french chefs? Ya that's what I thought noone. Mwuahahaha. I love how in everyone else's blogs they have like emo songs and junk and I put a Disney one in mine. I rule. Lol.
47 Days until Christmas!!!
OMG American Dreams is such an amazing show. I know a lot of you will probably laugh at me for watching this, but shush. Yes I am addicted to those sappy night time soap operas (as my dad calls them), so deal with it.
48 Days until Christmas!!!
Mmmm 2:00 and just got up half an hour ago, still in my pjs, I love sleeping for 12 hours straight. I love the weekend.
49 Days until Christmas!!!
Really good movie, Hatley High! To really appreciate it I think you have to be a nerd, but I enjoyed it because I kind of am. Lol.
50 Days until Christmas!!!
Uggg Simon and Larissa are listening to the DVD of Dashboard Confessional live at MTV. Ooo Dashboard Confessional live at MTV, I sure do love Dashboard Confessional live at MTV. Ooo a fork in the eye I sure do love a fork in the eye!
51 Days until Christmas!!!
Ugg I think I'm getting sick. I blame you Jocelyn...and Spin the Bottle. Lol.

I need a new book to read. Any suggestions?
53 Days until Christmas!!!
Into the Woods! I just hope I can get a part *cross your fingers*, maybe spontaneously over night I will somehow become an amazing singer!
You know I was completely right about me being my returning to my happy go lucky self. I am in such a good mood right now and I'm not even sure why. I love my friends, my life seems to be going very well right now, seriously what do I have to complain about. Today I go a biology test back sure I only got 74% but for once I got all of the multiple choice right, normally I fail the multiple choice part, and today in English I had a presentation and I know I basically slacked like I normally do and didn't do it until lunch hour, but instead of writing down crap I actually thought about it this time and actually had some good things to say and instead of worrying about not having enough to talk about I actually had too much to talk about and had to rush through the end. Hehehe I love good moods!
54 Days until Christmas!!!!
Psychotic nuns! None of you will know what I'm talking about. Funny story today, I was trying to set my car clock because of daylights savings, and instead got my radio stuck to AM. Ya that was fun driving home listening to country...not. Well once I got home I finally figured out what I had done wrong and was able to set my radio back to FM and set my car time, but being the dumbass I am actually didn't set the time back because my watch is still on daylights savings time. Smart eh?
