oh dear, I'm doing a new update every day, please help me.

Um, last night was another late-night random adventure with Vicky, this time to the [older] Fran's restaurant on College. Tacky, but classic.

Right, so I'm basically only updating out of procrastination, so here comes super-late Friday Five!

1. If you could go back and relive one moment or day from your life, without changing anything, what would you re-experience?

Oh, wow, that's pretty tough. I've had a pretty amazing life thus far. However, I think I'd really want to visit my Memere Vautour on a Halloween night, when I was like 7-8 years old. She always had the best treats, and now that she's gone... Well, I'd do anything to see her again. I love you, Memere Vautour!

2. If you could witness a moment in history, again without changing anything, what would you want to see?

Wow, such a good question! I'd likely want to witness... Um, the birth of Jesus Christ, really. That's my #1 choice. Number two would be to witness the attack on the Germans in Normandy during WWII, and number three would be to see the towers fall in NYC on 9/11.

3. If you could talk to a younger version of yourself, what age would you visit and what message would you give?

Oh, SUCH A GOOD QUESTION. Though I'm pretty sure I've answered it before... Anyway, I'd visit myself in Grade 4, which was the toughest year of my life. I'd tell myself, "Joel, you're honestly going to have to hang around the hugest retards, and they're going to be, well, retarded. The important things you should know are: 1) Things are going to get SOOOOO much better; 2) Believe in yourself and be yourself regardless of how others are going to treat you or act around you; 3) Don't be afraid of defend yourself. Yeah... That's definately personal / emotional.

4. If you could choose one moment that would be guaranteed to happen in your future, what would it be and when would it happen?

Holy shit, whoever thought up these questions is such a fucking mastermind. Wow.

I want to win Canadian Idol, quite simply. Once I win, I'll impress everyone with the fact I actually write and compose my own songs, and perform them myself of course. I'll also be a strong advocate for the Canadian Environment, and donate tonnes of money to the David Suzuki Foundation. After this, I'll be offered an exclusive modelling contract, which I'll readily sign. Soon I'll appear in major movies, and I'll also opt to appear in some independant films as well. And then I'll be well-known, and have the power to save the environment, and therefore the world!

...Not too bad, wouldn't you say?

5. Pretend you left a time capsule for yourself 5, 10, 15, 20 or more years ago. You just opened it. What three things from your past are you now holding and what age were you when you buried them?

5 years ago: Something tacky from the millennium, I'm sure. I was just starting my teen years, so the age of 13. "Yay, 2000!," for example. I was also hardcore into one-hit wonder CD's and "Now" compilation CD's, which I still have. Oh, how mortifying. I wore brands like "Quiksilver" and wore "splash pants," so there'd probably be some of that as well. I still had my braces as well at this time, so likely my braces-cleaning equipment and whatever. How mortifying.

10 years ago: The year was 1996. I was 8 years old. The Spice Girls had just released their solo album, I was totally infatuated. I had just begun writing in my "journal," a small book with stupidity galore. I was in Grade 3, and Pogs were HUGE. I never did own any. And everyone ate "Mr. Noodles," which were rumoured to give you tapeworms, but nobody really cared.

15 years ago: 1991, and I was only 3 years old. I adored the Care Bears, oh baby. I had plenty of bikes and toys and dumb stuff like that. I don't think I was in diapers at this time in my life, but you never know! Oh, and there'd likely be Honey Nut Cheerios... Oh, such a wonderful cereal.

And there you are, another fun-filled update! Leave me a comment, bitchesss!

Yours,

Joel
