*Spicy Spice

so yesterday, Nick, Vanessa and I went to the Melanie C concert and it was AMAZING.
we got there around 8 am, the doors opened at 8 pm, she went on stage at 10 pm.
we waiting for 14 hours, in the dirty ghetto, on the ground, bored to tears.
our bodies and feet are a tad slow form standing for so long. what a workout.
but it was well worth the wait cause we were in the second row, centre stage
and got some great pictures and videos including vlogs throughout the day  :D
oh, and SHE TOUCHED US!!! SPICED AGAIN!!!

after nearly 2 decades on Earth, i have finally found a religion that i believe in completely.

THE CHURCH OF VICTOLOGY

All welcome, services held daily.

Whether you are new to the Blessed One or are already a devout Victologist, you are welcome to come and enjoy the peace and beauty of the newly opened church. Feel free to come in and contemplate the Blessed One in the peaceful quiet, leave gifts at the altar, say a prayer, light a candle or join in with the hymns. Victologists always respect the feelings of those who do not belong to the Church. We would like everyone to feel the rapture that Victoria has to pour into all our souls, but we must not persecute those heathens who are ignorant in their ways.

The Porpoise, Victologist Supreme



The Ten Commandments of Victology

All Victologists must try to abide by these simple tenets of our faith:

1. Thou shalt not smile
2. Thou shalt not eat more than 200 calories a day
3. Thou shalt not wear off-the-rack
4. Thou shalt only wear heels more than 3" in height
5. Thou shalt gurn and point at inappropriate moments
6. Thou shalt have no other gods before the Blessed Victoria
7. Thou shalt not take the name of the Blessed Victoria in vain
8. Thou shalt covet thy neighbour's designer goods
9. Thou shalt go forth and multiply profusely
10. For in six days Victoria made heaven, the earth, the sea and the designer shops and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Victoria blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it

The Prayer of our Blessed Victoria

Our Victoria,
Who art descended from Heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy Beauty come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in Heaven
Give us this day our daily Gucci,
And forgive us our fashion disasters,
as we forgive those who visually offend us.
And lead us not into the high-street,
but deliver us from its evil.
For thine is the Beauty, the power and the glory.
For ever and ever.
Amen

so. today (yesterday technically) was the best day of my entire life. i know i said that about the first Spice Girls concert i went to. but today, i met Victoria Beckham. and went to the last Spice Girls concert ever!!! Our seats were so good. the View was amazing! anyway. all i can say is this:

Spice Girls Tickets: $480
Merchandise: $329
Hours Standing in Line: 16

Meeting Victoria Beckham and seeing the Spice Girls in concert 3 times: worth all of it

so on Feb. 3rd, 2008. my life dream came true.
there are no words to describe how absolutely amazing the Spice Girls concert was. all i can say is that it was the happiest day of my life. by far. i sang, danced, screamed and cried, a lot!!! and i CAN'T WAIT for the 25th and 26th so i can see them again... and again. 

So I finished reading Victoria Beckham's autobiography the other night.
I know I've talked about it before but again, I seriously have to recommend it.
Not just because I love her more than anything, but because it seriously is SOOOO GOOD!
It's sad, shocking, honest and for all of you who have ever called her
"Anorexic Spice", "Useless Spice" or "Posh Spice, the one who doesn't sing"
it will change your mind about her. SO READ IT!

so this is what i think about from 4 am to 9 am, when i'm still awake, and no one is online.

people always ask me, and i'm sure you all get this a lot too
has university/college changed you?
most of you i'm sure would answer "no, i'm still the same person i always have been"
however, my answer to this question is HELL YES!

think about it. you're in university now! you have a new bunch of friends, new repsonsibilities, you dress differently than you did in high school, and your priorities have changed.
it's only natural that these things would change you. all your surroundings are changing, so you're going to adjust and change with them.
personally, i've found i'm much more of a self-obsessed bitch. i care so much more about how i look. the clothes i wear, how i do my make-up, hair and  nails.
not only that but i really couldn't care less about half the people i know. i used to put time and effort into maintaining a good relationship with people i care about. now it's more of "if she doesn't like it, than tough shit" i do what i want, when i want, and really don't think about consequences or how other people might feel about my actions. and the honest truth is, i don't care.



i guess the one good thing that has come from my all-nighters is that i've actually got a lot of reading done.  i got the Victoria Beckham autobiography just before christmas and  it is seriously one of the best books i've ever read so far. and not just because i love her.
the beginning of the book has to be the saddest thing ever. worse than when a certain Harry Potter character died. her childhood was horrible. not her home life. home was pretty much the only thing in her life that was happy.
and everything you think you know about the spice girls, is just about torn to shreds. yes they are all good friends and love eachother. but the amount of shit these girls have been through is ridiculous. it honestly makes me appreciate everything they've done so much more. i used to always think, i can't belive they only did 3 albums. but after reading this, you really have no idea about what they went through from the release of Wannabe, until the end of their 1998 World Tour.
and after the Spice Girls, you'd think life would be more relaxed and almost, easier? for Victoria. But no. She had to deal with rumours of David being unfaithful while 5 months pregnant with his child, death threats, and after Brooklyn was born, kidnap threats and countless hatemail letters and untrue press stories. i feel so sorry for her and i now have so much respect for her for putting up with everything and not going completely crazy like other celebrities.
Even now she recieves so much criticism. For her weight, her voice, her boobs, EVERYTHING. and for what? so someone can sell a magazine. they really have no idea who she is. I have no idea who she is, but this book has given me a much better idea, and some perspective.

When it comes to celebrities. people really need to calm down and leave them alone. seriously. i watch a video the other day of britney spears being swarmed by paparazzi. and i have never felt scared for a celebrity before, but after that video, it really makes me wonder how she still goes out in public at all. and i really don't blame her for her actions. she needs help. seriously.

i don't know what i'm even talking about anymore. i'm just rambling since there's no one online to talk to.

anyway. i think that just about concludes everything that's been going through my head the past 3 days.
i should go to bed soon. since tomorrow is my first day back to school. even though i haven't decided if i'm actually going or not.
i hate school already. may can not get here fast enough. i can't belive i have to fucking study this weekend.
im gonna go listen to some spice girls or hannah montana, or something that will make me stop being such a bitch.

well. since there is NO ONE online at 5:38 am, i thought now would be a good time for a little LJ action. i just finished tidying my room. it still needs a good vacuum, but it's better than it's been in weeks. i managed to get 3 loads of laundry ready to be washed. a pink load, a blue/green load, and a white load. that's about 2/3 of my wardrobe. the rest is in a big pile in my closet. fun.
so yesterday (well, wednesday) Nick and I went to STC and decided to take a sexy picture with Santa Claus. He was HILARIOUS. we love him, and he loved us. Nick asked to win the lottery for Christmas, and I told him I was naughty, but if he really watches all year long, then i sure as hell gave him a good show. he gave us a handful of candy canes too.

( santa :] )

i finished up my christmas shopping, and decided to get myself a little somethin somethin. so i bought some bling for my cell phone. it is FABULOUS!!! my cell phone has be revamped and i love it. we headed back to nick's house, where we stayed all night. we watched Girl, Interrupted and ate sexy popcorn. and then we played some sims and watched the simple life.

and then today, i didn't see the sun at all because i slept in so late. nick was on the computer playing sims when i woke up. and by the time i got up, got dressed and left, it was almost 6. i was on my way back to nick's room from the washroom, and his mom is like "oh my gosh she's alive!". once i got home, my mom wanted to go back out cause she needed a gift and wanted to get stuff for my stocking. so i picked out some junkfood and make-up which was pretty fun.

and now, i just finished watching the entire first season of the Simple Life, and as you can tell, i am bored out of my mind, and not tired at all since i've only been awake about 13 hours. so my plan is to stay up all day, and go to bed at a reasonable hour tomorrow (tonight). that way i'll be well rested and able to wake up early on saturday to get prepared for the Christmas Party. so today i have to do all this laundry, go to the daycare for a quick visit and probably watch the Simple Life 2 ;)

so with that, it is now 6 am. which means my mom will be waking up soon and i'll have someone to talk to. FUN. so until my next boring ass night, that's all.

so as some of you may know, last week was the week from hell. i had 3 midterms, 2 of which i am sure i failed. i probably could have done better on them if i had studied. but seriously. i already hate going to school. and i hate my classes, except sociology. i hate studying and i hate reading.
so basically. i know i fucked myself over but i could not care less. i procrastinate all the time, but so far in life, i've done alright. why should i change for something that i hate and don't even know if i want to continue.
my point is. i know everyone does it. procrastinates, and then fucks themselves over.
and even though it happens all the time. we never learn, and keep doing it.
so today i decided that i'm going to try not to anymore. i have my last exam on monday. usually if this were the case i would start studying saturday night. but not this time. i started studying today! i am determined not to fuck myself for this exam. the prof gave us 7 questions. 2 essay, and 5 short answer. on the exam there's only going to be 1 essay, and 3 short answer. so i'm looking at this as a perfect oppurtunity to surprise myself and do well for the first time in university. hopefully it will boost my confidence enough to make me want to go back to school next year. cause as of right now, i'm ready to say, fuck this. and go get my ece at seneca, george brown or ryerson or something.
anyway, for those of you who still have exams, good luck. if you're anything like me, you'll need it.
