As many of you can see I (Tanya) have disappeared. I have not been on Buzznet this summer at all. I feel like I am ignoring you all, including you Alyssa, however this is not the intention. I have been on holidays and working on summer school! And must I say, Seattle is a beautiful city. The people are super friendly, and will dance on the street to the music coming from the "Ride the Ducks" Tour, a boat on wheels, that takes you all around downtown Seattle and into Lake Union. I must say, i you go to Seattle, I would do this tour the first day, it gives you a taste of Seattle and you also find out like 500 things to do. it is worth your money, or so I thought. Now the music and art scene is unbelievable. The EMP museum is super fun, and where aslo can you have your own rockband and perform for screaming fans and sound good no matter what singing thae good ol' Crossroads classic "I Love Rock & Roll". The art is spectacular. Public art is displayed everywhere. 1% of the cost for every public building that goes up is dedicated to public art. So pretty much if a building costs a million dollars to make $10,000 will be used for public art. Oh and a perk for you Albertans in Seattle (I am unsure about other parts of USA) you  get no tax as long as you show ID! So bring your ID and tell them you don't pay taxes! You will save lots of money! Oh and one other thing, if you are texting someone, wach you you are walking, cause if you don't you may just stumble into the boys washroom, and start changing...not good!

Anyways peace. I am off to Sylvan Lake, Calgary, and Banff! I haven't even been home for 15 hours and I am already being shoved out the door with no choice as to if I want to go or not. I am being forced into a lonely abyss of summer days away from all my friends and things I really want to do, but oh well, at least I get to go to the zoo! Oh, and on our way there we get to stop at Tim Horton's so my madre can get coffee, and I can get ummm nothing because "eveything is loaded with calories and I am going to get fat" as my mother says as she tries to make me eat a cinnamon bun... I am very bitter right now. Anyways, when I return home I will tell you about my journey into Cow Town along with any thing else that happened in Seattle.

*Tanya-  :)

Alyssa and I have decided that our BUZZNET needed a make-over.

So we gave it one. And it looks sweet. If I do say so myself...right, Tanya?

I dig it.

Plus, I don't know if anyone noticed...but we've been gone. For a really long time...

Now that it is summer, we can put all our time and hyperness towards buzznet, while on caffeine *pause* (Alyssa laughs) buzzes from the *wow, it is late* *blink blink* Starbucks down the road!

Watching her write that last sentence pained me. Just putting that out there, it took about ten minutes. Anyways, what we're trying to say is...we've missed you. So we came back. :)

...but only until August 31st. Then we will disappear into a black abyss, and into the final year of school!

Because August 31st is the Backstreet Boys concert. And yes, we're going. Who wouldn't?

By the way, since when does a North American Tour exclude 99.98% of Canada, and Seattle??

No, she's not talking about BSB...they're pretty awesome so they're actually making the leap into our "frosty" country.

Can we say cornucopia??

Where? No.

Sorry, ADD much...

Yup, I'm pretty sure your case is legit...Anyways, time to sign off...Tanya's laughing at nothing again...and I'm scared. So, bascially, we came to say hello and now that summer is here, you'll be hearing from us a lot more. And we may tell you a story or two about the vast *cornucopia* of the Northern realm...and abyss. Until then, it's late so we are leaving. Goodnight...oh, and since it's technically July 4th...Happy Independence Day, American Friends! Send us some awesome firework pictures...we kind of failed at capturing ours on July 1st...so, now I'm rambling.

Ok, Alyssa, STOP! Goodnight everyone!!

xoxo

Alyssa and Tanya!

And, as for the last journal, sorry about having to leave our homework up on display. The computers wouldn't even let us save it as a draft. But maybe it will have given someone some insight on something that they didn't know before. You know, if people actually decided to read it.

Plus, Tanya and I think that we are in desperate need of updating our buzznet...I mean, our pictures have gotten so outdated, I'm kind of shocked that they haven't built up a layer of virtual dust. Anyways, hopefully we'll post again soon...in the meantime, I strongly advise everyone that has not to read 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower'...that book is truly honest adolescence. And I love every page of it.

xoxo

HAPPY SWEET SIXTEEN, T-DOG!!!

I love you with all my heart (and soul)!!!

Love Always,

Alyssa a.k.a. A-Dizzle

So...despite what the title says, I guess I kind of have been far away. I mean, this journal thing has obviously taken an angry stance against me, and our pictures are so outdated you might figure them to be in black and white. I think we need to upload some new ones...maybe ones that don't have these shaggy bangs that obscure my eyes as if I was a dog. It's a wonder that I never ran into anything. Tanya and I did break a bench though. Looks like somebody needs to tone down their Starbucks intake.

So, basically...I think the whole point of this journal was to prove to myself that I still knew how Buzznet works. And, I guess to escape the wrath of physics. And to announce to the world that TANYA HAS BRACES!!! And won't stop bitching about them. But, hey, it's normal to want to kill someone when your mouth is in constant hell...well, maybe for like a week. And they're totally cute. She says she now has built-in grillz. I know everyone's jealous.

And, I guess to make this journal SLIGHTLY productive...anyone have any sweet ideas for a Not-So-Sweet-Yet Sixteen? Because between the cold weather and the amount of physics homework that we get, we've lost all sense of creativity.

And, lastly, if we don't get back to you until then...Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!

~♥~Miss Alyss~♥~

P.S. - Tanya says hi. And flashes a beautiful turquoise/purple/silver smile at you.

P.P.S. - If anybody decorates a Charlie Brown tree this year, tell me...you'll officially be my hero.

Okay, now here's how it's gonna work since Tanya and I share this account: I'll write the first four (me being Alyssa) and Tanya will write the last four.

I GOT TAGGED BY xxcheesypenguinsxx:

1.) I absolutely cannot stand when people rub the fingers across that weird 3-D surface texture. You know, that texture on a book or something when the picture is either 3-D or when you turn it from side to side the picture changes? It gives me the heebie jeebies.

2.) Whenever I have to deal with something, I write about it.

3.) Against my better judgement, I will tell you that I am extremely ticklish.

4.) I am a sucker for a good musical. I mean, doesn't everyone want their school to randomly break out in song? Or maybe that's just me...

5.) I get these weird obsession and craving for cheese, even though I hate cheese.

6.) Usually when I am talking, it is me thinking outloud, and most of the time, I am not talking to the person even though they think I am (in other words I think outloud)

7.)  I frequently do my hair, and change my clothes in a day. I just can't decide, my usual morning (saturday) routine consists of changing at least twice. Sometimes if I am perfectly satisfied with my outfit I'll change it just to loss track of time.

8.) After midnight, and being by myself is when I have the most fun. But i am scared of the dark...and my basement...

~Lyssa and Tanya~

Outside my dirty window,                                                                                                                

Lie the living skies aglow.

However, they mark the piece of my life that is so dead in reality,

The golden fields a memory.

Each road sign one step closer to my empty "home."

I've lost count of the yellow lines,

Another metre, a flash in time.

The bumps in the road make my handwriting shaky.

This place is who I used to be,

A smiling young child, dancing in the sun,

Hand in hand with my loved ones.

Childhood naivete came so easily in a small town serenade.

That's when I put down my pen and turned on my iPod with only about an hour and a half or two hours to go. Now I must go to bed, as work calls tomorrow, but I'll update soon!
