Of course! I went to 4 shows, and was in the "Why Do You Love Me?" video (only for a split second, but hey, thats something!!)

4?! The video?!

I am green with envy. I made it to one, in Toronto. At least I got to hear Shirley mangle all the words to You Look So Fine! The crowd knew the song better than the band, for sure, hahah.

ratgirl84 In reply to Skek [2006-02-06 03:25:42 +0000 UTC]

yeah, 3 shows here, and then 1 in San Francisco (that I have pictures of on here).
Being in the video was awesome, and Shirley told me I was "Pinkalicious" (my hair was pink). Heehee.

Heehee, thats cool. Yeah, they had to restart Metal Heart at one of the shows because Butch fucked up.

My jealousy knows no bounds; Shirley's the top of my list of people to meet. I'm thinking I should ask her to be my prom date? Hahah.

I had pink hair once upon a time; it's a good pick.

I stumbled across your gallery from just surfing around on DA, hoping to find some more Toronto stuff. From what I've read briefly, it sounds like you did the SWSE? I did it in the summer of 2003, I got to go to QuΓ©bec City. It was incredible. How'd you like it?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Skek In reply to burnstoemerge [2005-12-16 03:00:34 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I did! I was in MontrΓ©al, and it was pretty much a PERFECT experience. I'm telling all my friends to do it this year. I had a blast, and my French is so much improved. I THOUGHT I was fluently before I went, and then I got back home speaking at a level I never even thought I could get to. And I totally have the Quebecois accent dialed! And I made money!

I'm still excited about it.

burnstoemerge In reply to Skek [2005-12-16 06:07:32 +0000 UTC]

Mine wasn't exactly PERFECT: the family I stayed with was SO uptight but they were patient with me when it came to speaking French. I had gotten high 90's all through high school in French but when I got there I was totally lost. The accent is so different, and the slang. I worked at a kids day camp and the kids always tried to trick me and stuff. It was terrible. But the whole experience made me really independent and a lot more outgoing. Going out to the bar a few nights a week when you're 17 isn't too bad either.

I still understand French very well but I couldn't carry on a conversation today. I'm hoping to take at least one French class this coming semester at university ... I want to keep it up. It's really valuable.

Where did you work?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Skek In reply to burnstoemerge [2005-12-16 16:03:40 +0000 UTC]

My family was really hip, and I still keep in touch with my exchangee. I definitely loved learning the slang.

I worked as a councillor at a YMCA day camp, msotly with 6-8 year olds. Since it was Montreal, though, many of them spoke English as their first language, which was a bit of a drag on days when I really wanted to practice. I had lots of great friends on staff though, which is where I got alot of my language practice.

I'm really keen on going back to Montreal for university now, or Ottawa, partly just to keep up the skills I've developed.

burnstoemerge In reply to Skek [2005-12-17 00:08:47 +0000 UTC]

That's neat. Sadly, when I went, everyone still used ICQ so we all exchanged ICQ numbers and now that nobody uses it anymore and instead uses MSN ... I am not in contact with anyone, except for one person.

I worked with kids from 8-12 in the g-hetto of Quebec City. A lot of them had really bad learning disabilities and behaviour problems, and they all had attitude problems. One kid even brought a tazer once. I was like, YOU'RE A BABY! WHERE DID YOU GET A TAZER? Most people that I came across in Quebec didn't know any English, but they watched all English TV shows in English. Weird.

I applied to Concordia in Montreal and Carleton in Ottawa, both for Journalism ... but it's too far from home. I'm only living in Toronto, an hour away from my dad's house, and I've been home only twice since September. Ryerson was my first choice anyway. What do you want to take at university?

Linguistics. Then probably radio/journalism after I get my B.A.
