Update coming soon--

Soon as in TONIGHT.
[promise.]

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind.

I miss Brant and I'm acting like an idiot. I hate it, I've been so short with everyone and have been in a pissy mood all week and it's going no where fast. Sometimes I just feel like I want to drop everything and go back there, the city that I hate where everyone looks like they should be feature on Jerry Springer on s show called "I got this women pregnant and I think she may be my sister...or mom...or cousin".

Gloomy rainy days don't help this feeling either.
I wish that I have taken more photos recently, I haven't been taking as many photos for the paper but I've been writing my ass off which is good it's the area that I need to improve the most in, I think that I'm doing that. Tomorrow I am heading to a press conference to cover a man named Tony who is biking across America, should make for a great story. Tomorrow some of my articles will be published and I'll post a link later or something, one is about a youth organization called Take Charge, they promote healthy living and non smoking in teens and the second is about the KEYS job connect program. Not very interesting but they're news.

BUUUUT---- aside from being gloomy, Saturday we're going to Ajax to visit Nikki and Joe where we will hang out all day I think that we are going to Toronto where we will go to some wicked shops, have lunch and what not. I'm stoked. Bring on a day that will be fun-filled with 3 of my favourite people, Brant, Nikki and Joey-O!

[who kows what will happen this weekend]

Local swimmer ready to take on Lake Ontario

15 year old Jenna Lambert plans to do a marathon swim across Lake
Ontario this July to raise money for the local YMCA and Y Penguins.

The inspiration of Vicki Keith has made a marathon swimming protege out of one of her athletes.
Jenna Lambert, 15, a member of the Kingston Penguins swim team, will attempt a 32-km crossing of Lake Ontario this July. Lambert, born with cerebral palsy, is aiming to become the first person with a disability to swim across the lake.
And just like Keith, it’s all for a good cause.
The Kid 4 Kids Marathon, as its been dubbed, will help raise funds for the Kingston Family YMCA’s Character Brick Building Campaign which includes facility upgrades, a new 25-metre pool and 18,000 square-foot fitness area.
The $4.5 million dollar expansion is hoping to receive $2.5 million through fundraising, which Lambert hopes to boost.
Lambert says that Vicki Keith, her coach and good friend, has been a great inspiration to her and will be for her swim.
“Taking a God given gift and putting it to use for the good of others, that’s a goal worth striving for,” she says.
Keith will be there to support her along the way.
“No one can prepare you for the heights you will soar until you spread your wings,” says Keith.
The Y expansion project is close to Lambert’s heart. As a member of the Penguins swim team, she has found a new love in life. Lambert was born with cerebral palsy, a condition that reduces her movement and had forced her to walk with a walker.
Swimming for the past five years has improved her strength and movement she now walks with forearm crutches.
She has triumphed in the pool, too, recently winning her first international medals in competition. The next competition is against Lake Ontario.
The swim in July will begin in Point Peninsula, New York and will finish approximately 24 hours later, at the shore of Lake Ontario Park in Kingston.
To contribute to The Kid 4 Kids Marathon campaign visit the Y location at 100 Wright Cres., online at www.kingston.ymca.ca or call 546-2647.

Oh you silly stupid pastime of mine.

Despite wanting to be done my stint at the Kingston This Week I won't be for another three months or so. I did so well that they have offered me a summer position saying that out of everyone who interned with them that I showed the most enthusiasum and potential which really is great to hear. Weeee! As ridiculous as it sounds I will say it again that my 4 weeks [I decided to do another week] I have really grown, I'll go to shoots and get things done, approach people more openly and actually really like the stuff that I am producing. I am really excited because I feel like they actually like me and the work that I am producing and not just using me for 3 weeks to do stuff so they don't need to...But I would'nt have thought that anyway because the staff at the KTW are wonderful. So here's to a great summer, or what I will try to make out of it without Brant. boo. It'll be hard but we can do it.

ALSO - I'm SO going horseback riding TOMORROW!
Woot! Brant's cousin Jodie and her husband are having thir one year anniversary party tomorrow in Athens and we are going, I'm pretty excited they have 17 horses and probably other animals that I will get to see, they are having a dinner and a bonfire. I can't wait. This will be the closest thing to R&R that I have had in the last month...The baseball tournament SO doesn't even count either. Freezing your ass off in May doesn't count as relaxation at all.

But yeah, thats it. Not to sound like a retard but I'm really happy with the things that I have accomplished in the past little while it's awesome, I just hope that Brant will understand and support me, which he will I'm sure.

Yay for FUN! <3
