If..
you saw your best friend on one side of the road, but you also saw one of your close family members on the other side, and they were both in serious danger, who would you go to help first?
I would probably try to divide my time, see who needed help the most, and then go from there.
you had the choice of going back in time to or go forward in time to see the future, which would you choose?
If I chose back in time, I would want to see how the world began. And if I chose the future, I would want to see how the world will end. I think I would rather see the future.. watch the movie The Time Machine, you'll know what I mean.
jesus was standing right infront of you, what would you say to him?
Probably thank you, I guess. Without him, the world might be a different place today.

The end of a decade and a new one begins
It's hard to believe that a decade has gone by and it is 2010 already. I remember New Years Eve 1999 when the world was panicking about the year 2000 and all the problems it would cause. Nothing happened though, nothing to worry about.
In the year 2000 I finished grade 10 and moved on to grade 11 at Simonds High School. Grade ten was probably the best year in high school, my group of friends met new friends, but we stopped talking to a few, things changed, and we all moved on. Grade eleven was pretty cool, decent classes, lots of good times with friends.
In 2001, I said so long to grade eleven and entered the final year of high school. September 11th happened in the states which was the topic of conversation on TV for days, weeks, and months.
In 2002, and maybe late in 2001, I rekindled a friendship with someone that is still going strong today.. and we have known each other for more than 12 years. Sarah was and is one person I can always count on.. same goes for my other best friend Niki. In 2002, I graduated with honours from Simonds High in June, a lot of memories happened at that school and I wouldn't trade them for the world. In July, I started my first job at Sobeys Loch Lomond.. it has changed my life i can honestly say. I have many friends because of it. That August I got my drivers license. In September, Sarah and I began university life at UNBSJ.
2002-2006, Sarah and tried hard to have the same classes, and the majority of the time we did. We met interesting professors, some we won't ever forget, and some we would like to. We had some good times at the university. I had my first fender bender in one of the parking lots. In 2005, I bought my lovebird Ollie, whom I love and cherish. He is a smart little creature that is spoiled rotten. In June 2006 we both graduated from UNBSJ with Bachelor of Arts Degrees in Sociology. That summer I bought my car, which i still have, and it's my baby.
2007- Still working at Sobeys, procrastinating about getting another job... good times with friends. That June, I moved out of my parents house and in with Sarah in a basement apartment on Karen st, where I still reside.
2008- Still at Sobeys yada yada. Met Mai Ling that January. That October Sarah moves out of the apartment and Erica, a fellow co-worker moves in, with 2 kittens. Oh the joy. Royden, Sarah's cat, stayed with me, and we will forever share a bond. That November, the powers that be announced Sobeys Loch Lomond would close in Jan 2009. I've never cried so hard in my life. Needless to say, the next 2 months were spent not really caring about what we did. Also in November, my parents sold the house that I lived in for 23 years and moved up to our camp, where they eventually planned to retire. In early December, after attending the staff dinner at my new Sobeys store in Rothesay, I went into the ditch and had to get my radiator replaced in my car. That was fun. The first Christmas that wasn't in Willow Grove was weird, but it wasn't bad, we didn't have a tree, but that's ok.
2009- Jan 3rd, Sobeys Loch Lomond closed its doors forever. I met some fantastic people there and most of us still keep in touch. We partied at Doolys that night til the wee hours of the morning.
Jan 5th, new store, new faces.. don't regret it at all. Met some great people this year, ones that I hope will be my friends for a long time to come.
My parents starting building their new house this past summer, it would be done by Christmas.
My great nan died that fall, she was 98 years old, a wise woman who loved to garden and enjoyed baking, knitting, and writing cards.
Our beloved dog, Puckie, also passed away this fall, she was almost 13 years old. The greatest dog anyone could have ever asked for. I will never forget her. Forever in my heart, soul, and my memories. May she rest in peace. She never got to live in the new house, which we just had our first Christmas in. We will make new memories there, never forgetting the times we had at our old house and times we spent with Puckie.
Cheers to a new year, a new decade, and another chance for us to get it right. Have a rocking new year.

Lest we forget
Lest We Forget
What do we forget when we remember
What are the stories left untold
What do we think each November
As we march down that glory road
As we march down that gory road
One hundred million
Don’t come home from war
Another eight hundred million
Who lived to bear its scar
Who lived to bear its scar
Lest we forget
What they were dying for
Lest we forget
What they were killing for
Lest we forget
What the hell it was for
What do we forget when we remember…

I'll miss you :'( you were the best dog. I love you and I hope I see you someday in heaven.

there's never a wish better than this
This is not an ordinary quiz/survey. These are questions that require a bit of thinking and may take several hours to complete. Answer them with as much or as little detail as you want, but remember, the more information you give, the more interesting it is to read.
Name: Chelsea
Age: 25
Birthday: May 22nd, 1984
Location: Saint John, NB, Canada
*Now on to the "interesting and unique" questions*
A genie offers to grant you ONE wish, what would you wish for?
This seems so simple, but it is the one thing that makes the world go round, other than love, and that is money. I want to be able to do some things with my family and friends that might be possible with a little bit more money. Being debt free would be a fantabulous thing and therefore I could do whatever I wanted. They say money can't buy happiness, but hey, it would sure put a smile on my face.
If you could be any animal, which one would you choose and why?
Not a freaking clue, a hampster because they sleep all day, a horse because they are so magestic, or bird because they can fly so high.
You can return to ANY time period. Which one do you choose and why?
I would love to be able to see the first few billion years of Earth's and the universe's creation, was it really by God's hand that we all came into being, or by the theoretical Big Bang that basically thrust every kind of matter into the vast space we call the universe....?
You have to belong to another culture.
Egyptian, not present day, but back in Ancient times.
If the year consisted of only one season, which would you choose?
As much as I love summer, I would have to pick fall. But only the early weeks of autumn where the temperature can still reach 20 degrees during the day.
You can be friends with any fictional character. Who do you choose? Why?
I would choose the character Christopher Snow from the Dean Koontz novels Fear Nothing and Seize the Night. He suffers from the rare (but real) disease called XP (xeroderma pigmentosum) and lives his life by night and sleeps during the day. There is a myterious conspiracy surrounding the town that he lives in and Christopher learns many things as he travels in the night with his companion, a black lab named Orson. He has a fantastic relationship with his dog and also with his friends, and it would be very interesting to actually be that character in real life.
You get to meet any historical figure. Who do you choose and why?I would have to say Hitler, I would love to sit down and talk with him and ask why he did the things he did, why he killed all those people, and whether or not it was worth it in the end.
If you could have any magical power, what would you want and why?
I've always wanted to be able to read people's minds, but I don't think I could handle that and I wouldn't want to know what certain people thought of me or others. Our minds are ours for a reason, so that no one can get inside us and read our thoughts. So I would like to have the power to change the weather.. I hate winter, so if I can stop it from snowing that would be great! Haha!
You have to change your race. Which would you choose and why?
I would choose Polynesian, or Hawaiian, because they are really beautiful people, simple as that.
You can outlaw any one thing of your choosing. What is it and why?
Probably the murder and suffering of children, the world would be a much better place to live in.
Uh oh, you're stuck in a fairy tale. Which one would you rather be in?
Beauty and the Beast, seems kind of romantic, and they live happily ever after :)
If you could learn any language, which would you choose?
Non of the languages that we use in the world today are appealing to me so I would say I would like to learn Elvish like in The Lord of the Rings, it's so pretty :).
Ah ha! A fountain of youth! At what age would you rather drink from it?
Right now, age 25, but I wish I had accomplished more things by this time, but oh well.
Plant or animal (not human): which one would you rather be? Why?
I'd probably say animal because they are more interesting. And now that I have put more thought into it, I wouldn't mind being a sea turtle. They live to be a long time and their life journey seems pretty fascinating.
If you could get rid of anything in this world, what would it be? Why?
I would like to rid the world of suffering, from things like famine and drought. I'd especially like to see the Third World become non-existant, and instead become like countries like Canada and the United States.
Should everyone be carnivores, omnivores, or herbivores? Why?
The human race as a whole are carnivorse but I think we as individuals should remain as we are. There are people who eat both meat and veggies, and others who are soley vegan, or vegetarian. There probably are even people who would just rather eat meat all day.. they will die sooner than the rest of us but hey, whatever makes us happy right?
Would you ever make the world one race if you had the chance?
Only if it meant that everyone got along and was treated equally. Otherwise, no.
Would you ever make the world one religion if you had the chance?
I would say no, because an individual's religion define's who they are. And then there are those who aren't even riligious at all, so think how they would feel if the world had to be one religion.
All but ONE modern technology is outlawed. Pick the one that stays. Why?Internet. Because you can still know what is going on in the world through the web..
You can have any hair colour. Which one would you choose?
I think I'll stick the the colour I have now.
You can have any eye colour. Which one would you choose?Purple. Sweet :)
What is your dream profession (logical or not)?Meteorologist or Astronomer. I didn't excel in math or physics, so I don't think I would be able to do that.
If you had to live on another planet, which would you choose?Well, considering the majority of the planets in the solar system are made up entirely of gases, i would probably pick Mars, solid surface, close to the sun.. etc.
What holiday do wish could be celebrated 4 times a year? Why?Uh, Christmas, duh :)
Would you prefer to live under the sea or on a cloud? Why?
I would lie on a cloud all day and watch the stars go by...
What is your dream home?Big, but not too big, with a wrap around deck, two storeys, 3 bedroom, 2 bath, a pool/hot tub. Garage. Surrounded by trees and gardens, a big yard.
What is your ideal location?
Anywhere that it does not snow. Hawaii would be nice, so would Australia. New Zealand would be even better.
What month should the year consist entirely of if you have to choose?May or September.. June possibly lol.
Would you rather live outside or be forced to stay inside forever?
I love the outdoors when the weather is nice, but when it turns bad, everyone has to have shelter, so I would say inside.
What gender are you? Given the choice, would you change it? Why?
Female. Though I wish sometimes I could have a penis, that's about it.
What one issue are you the most passionate about?
I don't think there is one specific issue, but I really like animals and hate to see when they are abused or suffering. Makes me sad.
You can only eat ONE food for the rest of your life. What do you pick?
Homemade pizza, sooo good, nothing beats it. Cheesecake comes in a close second.
You can only drink ONE liquid for the rest of you life. What do you pick?
Water should be the obvious choice here, but I would say chocolate milk. Pepsi would be my next choice.
If you had to see everything in only one colour, which one would you choose?Purple
What one mythological creature do you wish you could see in real life?
Loch Ness Monster...
If you had to listen to one type of music 24/7, what kind would you choose?
Anything I listen to now would be what I would pick. Pop/rock.
Would you prefer to be rich in money or rich in love for your lifetime?
As I mentioned above, money can't buy happiness, nor can it buy love. And love makes the world go round. Without it, we would probably cease to function.
