What an Interesting Selection for a Lovely Dinner Reception!


Imagine this - a lovely July evening on a boat with a classy evening dinner planned. For a party to be successful, I have to invite the most useful people! 

1. Gordon Ramsay: Self explanatory. If the food wasn't up to par, he would make sure the cooks knew how bad it sucked. Oh and he would probably throw a huge fit which would only make the night more amusing. 

2. Ellen DeGeneres: I.LOVE.HER. Her show is so fun to watch, and she LOVES TO DANCE! This means that the dance floor would always be occupied, and all my guests would enjoy the night even more!

3. Mr. Hopman: So many reasons as to why he would be at the party! Honestly though, PERFECT security guard! 

4. Hayley Williams (from Paramore): Once the music starts getting boring, she can substitute. It wouldn't be a party without a little bit of Paramore.

5. Natalia Sandic: My twin from Australia! She added me on Facebook, and she's sucha cool girl that loves to party. Cmon, how awesome would it be having a party with a girl that has the exact same name as you...

6. Mr. Cook: He could show us some good work outs after the nice fattening dinner.. PLUS, I might even get some answers for the test next week... 

7. Patrick Dempsey: Everyone knows my love for him! Eye candy for my party. <3>

8. Tonedeff: MORE eye candy! Oh, I could also get him to sing a song dedicated to meeee! I'm sure his sultry, deep voice sounds even better in person. :)

9. Seth Rogen: He would keep all my guests laughing! Plus I'm more then positive he would become great friends with my next guest...

10. Dusan Vukobratovic: What's a party without your best friend? =)

A Curse or a Gift?

Without a second thought, I would choose seeing the future over changing my past. 
Why?
I don't regret anything in my past, it all happened for a reason.

With the AMAZING power of seeing into the future, I could keep everyone of my family and friends safe. I would see every accident or hurtful situation, which would help me stop it, or prepare for the consequences. Although, at the same time I would see when everyone would eventually die - this is quite depressing. 

This would also benefit me for my work shifts. If there was a day I know I wouldn't feel like working, I could call in sick in advance! >=)

Wait, would this also mean that I could see the new fashion trends? Then I can pretend that I "started" them. ;) Wicked.

On the other hand - I would really hate to deal with the cons of this power.
The future is subjective, always changing. What if it changed so quickly that I didn't see it and I wasn't prepared? What if while trying to prevent the situation when it arrives, I do something wrong, and it triggers a newly developed future? Finally, what if I can't stop the horrible thing from coming, and I have to watch a loved one suffer knowing that this is just the way it has to be?

I must admit, having this power would be pretty interesting.. However, I don't think I could deal with any of these outcomes. I think I much rather prefer living normally instead of living with the future stored at the back of my head. All in all, I'd have to call this a curse instead of a gift.

The Future!


For the past thirteen years of my life, I've spent my time arguing with my beloved mother. So I've grown up thinking that if I don't find something right, I should argue for it. =) This could be why I'm going to McMaster next year for social sciences, to get my undergrad degree and go off to law school. 
I chose to go into Social Sciences for my undergraduate education after taking Anthropology with Mr. Staples in the eleventh grade. This class was so interesting, and I loved learning the basics about sociology and psychology. The reason to why I took HSP 3M1 was because Mrs. Boudreau recommended it for me. After discussing what field I was thinking of going into after I graduate, she put me through anthropology to test whether or not I would still find myself becoming a lawyer. As well as Mrs.Boudreau, during history with Mr. Hopman, I was introduced to Mr. Staples. I thought he looked like a cool teacher, (being one of Mr. Hopmans best friends!) so I  was set on being in a class with him teaching. The reason for meeting Mr. Staples was thanks to being in Mr. Hopman's grade ten Canadian history class. Although I wasn't looking forward to taking this course, it's required for our high school diploma, so we all had to go through it! :P
