I really want a puppy!!!!!!!!!!!!

My next door neighbours got a new puppy (a maltese schnauzer mix) and it is so adorable. Now I really want a puppy and this time one that Eric can't give away because he doesn't have time. My cats are fine and so is my chinchilla (I say it's mine though it's Eric's but the length of time and the degree to which I'm taking care of her he should owe me money). And I need new fish...I only have three in my tank---the others died :'(.
I am also overly fed up with my computer and Windows Vista because the only games that we have that actually installed were Civilization II and III. No other games work!!! And I also don't like it that the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connector isn't compatible with Vista. Hopefully this new supposed Windows system is WAY better than Vista and is actually able to handle XP programs and software. In the mean time us Vista users are stuck...

Music

I haven't really blogged about music which is truly an astonishing fact to me. I guess I have written a bit about songs that I'm listening to at the moment but it's just insane that I haven't gone into much depth about it. Well as I'm typing the current song is AC/DC "Thunderstruck". The opening riff is amazing and the energy of the crowd is beautiful. Okay and now the song is Steely Dan "Do It Again". I only encountered Steely Dan on Guitar Hero World Tour and this song was the first one I heard, and it is so mellow and has a cool vibe I couldn't get enough. Anyways, because i love music so much (play some myself lol) I wanted to write down my fave lists of bands and songs and other categories and see how they have or will change.

10 Favourite Bands:

1. Red Hot Chili Peppers (of course)
2. Nirvana
3. Led Zeppelin
4. Aerosmith
5. Airbourne
6. Pearl Jam
7. Van Halen
8. Queen
9. Beastie Boys
10. The Ramones

10 Favourite Solo Artists:

1. Gwen Stefani (I also love her style and L.A.M.B. clothing line)
2. Christina Aguilera
3. Kylie Minogue
4. Katy Perry
5. Michael Jackson (the music not the personal life disaster)
6. Avril Lavinge
7. Justin Timberlake
8. Rihanna
9. P!nk
10. Madonna

(weird how the bands are mostly guys and the soloists are mostly girls???)

10 Favourite Rock Songs (this will be hard):

1. By The Way - Red Hot Chili Peppers
2. Jaded - Aerosmith
3. When You Gonna Flower - Hawksley Workman
4. Jeremy - Pearl Jam
5. Soul Meets Body - Death Cab For Cutie
6. Kashmir - Led Zeppelin
7. Runnin' Wild - Airbourne
8. In Bloom - Nirvana
9. Electro Rock - Sworn
10. Life of a Soldier - illScarlett

(wow that was hard to do-----I do prefer listening to bands rather than solo artists)

10 Favourite Instrumentals:

1. Classical Gas - Eric Clapton
2. Eruption - Van Halen
3. Moby Dick - Led Zeppelin
4. Speed Metal Symphony- Cacophony

8. The Wizard Turns On - The Flaming Lips
9. Cliffs of Dover - Eric Johnson
10. Satch Boogie - Joe Satriani

(as soon as you listen to instrumental rock, you learn to appreciate the instruments each by themselves a whole lot more. you listen to the drums and get a feel for the beat, you listen to the bass and ride the bassline, and listen to the guitar and can almost sing along. If you don't listen to instrumental you should!!!!)

2. Just Dance - Lady Gaga

7. Whole Again - Atomic Kitten
8. Candyman - Christina Aguilera
9. Fergalicious - Fergie

6. Fuel Injected - Swollen Members
7. In Da Club - 50 Cent
8. Let Me Blow Ya Mind - Eve feat. Gwen Stefani

(those will get you dancing...:D)

Well that's the lists for now, I can always add more later...ironic that I started with AC/DC "Thunderstruck" and I'm finishing with AC/DC "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap". That's the way the shuffle goes I guess lol!!!

Wow wow wow! It's been awhile!

It has been a long time since I last wrote on my blog. So much has gone on!! I have successfully passed my courses for last semester, though I did not get a report card for law yet. I only have one course this semester, becuase the classes I was waitlisted for are all filled up. It sucks and now I have to keep going with school. But I am sending away for the Stratford Career Institute pamphlet so hopefully I can do something about my education situation. And I have been back to church regularly, and have been in catechism. Different, but feels so good. I hate being locked up in my room though!! I want good weather so I can actually go outside and enjoy alone time (when I actually have it because my siblings are home so much). I can't wait to replant my flowers!!! Eric and I are going to London this Saturday to hang out. We haven't really hung out in so long, so we are going to see a movie and shop. It's going to be so nice. But I don't know what movie we will see yet. It has been so weird living with someone who is not actually there. But whatever anyone says I still love him so much and want happiness for him. I'll pray for him! :)
