Justin Bonneville

A little about me:

A little about me eh? How about a lot about me.

Ok, now where to start...... ok I’ve got it.

My name is Justin Bonneville and this web site is all about me and my friends. So now I’m going to tell you everything about me, or at least everything i can remember.

I don’t remember very much from when I was only a baby, but for the first six years of my life I lived in a little house on Simcoe, which is in the North end of Winnipeg.I only have a few memories from back then, I know I slept upstairs all alone while my parents and by little sister slept on the main floor. I faintly remember being scared up there because of a thunderstorm, but not much else.

Oh! That reminds me, before I go on I should tell you a few things. My sister is named Celine and is 3 years younger than me. My parents are Ruth and Rich Bonneville. Just thought I’d let you know that before I went on.

So anyway, I remember we had a dog named Spanky who ended up running away and getting replaced with another dog that we named Spanky as well.I also remember having a friend who lived across the street from me, but that’s about all I remember about that time of my life.

SO, just before I turned six years old my parents decided to move to River Heights. We moved to a cozy little bungalow on kingsway. Shortly after that my parents broke up and got divorced. That was a hard part of my life, I didn’t understand what was happening then and I was very sad. But I got used to it after a while. All I have to say is that going from your moms house to your dads house constantly puts a lot of stress on you and is a load of crap!

Kids who were my age should never be allowed to have to go through all that stress. But I guess shit happens.So I guess I had just started school then and was in kindergarten. that was a pretty good year, I don’t remember much about it though. Then came grade 1 at the end I remember having to get glasses. My teachers name was Miss Johanesson, everyone called her Miss fussy fussy though. I was in French immersion and it was quite hard for me. Then came grade 2, I had my first pair of glasses and a brand new super nice teacher. Her name was Miss. Jonsen, she was one I;ll never forget. She always had a story to tell us and would give us lots of candy. Then came grade 3 that was another good year, the teacher was Madame young. You know, I was always the quiet one didn’t have many friends and almost never talked. My best friend through all those years was Stephen Lewis, he and I were inseparable.

Mmm... now we come to grade 4. oh I remember that year. That’s when we started learning about Sex and how babies were made and all that. It was also the year of my first crush. Her name was Anna Reed, it was stupid really. I only liked her because of something she said. It was way back then and my desk was beside hers in a group of four. I was across from Lane Gibson who was Annas best friend. And I think the other person was Emilie Cook. SO anyway, one day Lane said something about me and Anna liking each other. I think Anna denied it but then she whispered something to me. I think it was “No really I d...” I never actually knew what she said but from that point on I liked her. of course that only lasted until I noticed another girl named Maddie Ferguson. It was nearing the end of grade four when I started liking her. I had never noticed her before, but she had been in the school since kindergarten as well. Shortly after I became friends with Ian Campbell because he liked Maddie as well.

Time went on, grade five passed, I still liked Maddie, I liked her for the longest time. I also made a friend named Krystal Sorenson is grade five, she was new to the school and we became very good friends. Then grade six came along, Krystal and I were still friends but nothing more then that. I started liking another girl named Aisha Toupin. Oh I remember that. I also did a science fair project with Krystal on optical illusions. I remember that there was a guy named Rhys Mitchell, he liked Aisha as well and once we had a fight over her in the playgroup. ahh the good old days. I was so young.

I don;t remember much from those days, I’ve told you the highlights of what I remember. But this is where it get interesting because I remember a lot more.

Now as I said I had been in French Emerson all those years but in junior high I decided to move into English.I had to make a lot of new friends, because most of my other ones stayed in French. This year took a little while to get adjusted to, mostly because it was so different compared to elementary. I remember that my picture for picture day wasn’t very good so I decided to get a retake thing. This is where my whole life got turned around.

So there I was waiting in line for the retake picture and theres this girl standing in front of me. I’m not sure who started to conversation but I’m pretty sure it was her, so we talked and I told her all my corny jokes and what not. She told me her name was Karen and gave me her e-mail address. Now I just call her KB, which is what everyone class her, it’s short for Karen Elizabeth Greenhill.

Anyway, I guess it was a little later and I was talking to her on MSN. Just out of nowhere I asked her if she had a boyfriend, I guess I was sort of attracted to her. She said no and was wondering why I asked, I just said I was curious. So then about a week after that we were talking on MSN and we got onto the subject of dating and junk like that. She was asking me who I knew that liked me and I was telling her a few people. Then she said that she knew someone who liked me but she didn’t want to tell me. I finally got it out of her and she ended up saying that she liked me. I had no idea what to say so I just said that I liked her too. She was my first Girl friend and it didn’t work out that well. We were “going out” for about 3 months and we had some fun, but it just never really worked out right, so she ended up breaking up with me. I was devastated and I didn’t know what to do. I’m sure all first breakups are like that though.

Another thing I remember about grade 7 was that Ian and myself were obsessed with Harry Potter, we even tried to make actual flying broomsticks. We had everything figured out and they would have worked but we just didn’t have that kind of money, so we ended up dropping the idea, it was something to do with electromagnets and Earths magnetic fields. We even had a little committee going and a web site.

There were about three months left in the school year and thats about when I started liking a girl in my class named Alyssa Cooper. I don’t know why I started liking her but I just did, and it was a pretty big crush, even ask George. lol you probably don’t have any idea who George is unless you are one of my friends. I stopped liking Alyssa sometime in that summer I think.
Oh and I can’t forget, this was the year that I became really good friends with George Wood, who is from England. He and I were best buds, we were also both “trekkies” per say, and we shared a lot of the same interests.

SO then grade 8 comes along, oh how I remember this year, it was both one of the worst and one of the best years of my life. I can still remember that first day of class, walking into room 9 and looking at everyone who happened to be a stranger, there were only a few people who, I knew. Another thing that I hated about the beginning of grade 8 was that my best friend George wasn’t in my class. He eventually transferred into our class though. So it was all good.

SO I started making new friends in the class, one of them was Stephanie Elders. Now that’s a long story that I’ll explain later in this bio thingy. Colin, one of my friends from last year was also in this class, and one day I was walking home with him and Kyle Shore happened to be walking with us. Now I should tell you that in grade 7 Kyle and I didn’t really like each other very much, so this comes along and Colin turns off to go home and tells Kyle to walk with me seeing as we both lived farther then Colin. We were both kind of uncomfortable about this but w/e. SO we started talking and stuff and before you know it we are friends, walking home together almost everyday. Just like that, lol.

So now I’ll go to one day coming home from Kelvin after an afternoon of shops. I guess I was starting to become friends with Stephanie. And one of her best friends was Ashley and they were walking home together as well. They asked me if I wanted to walk with them because we all lived in the same direction and I said sure. So we started talking, I think Ashley and Stephanie were having an argument about who was on the inside or outside of the sidewalk. I remember picking up a stick and calling it the cromagnum poker, seeing as we were studying them in Miss Thanisch’s S.S. class, I poked them both a few times then Stephanie stole it from me, Ashley wanted it too. Now I just want to say that I probably liked Stephanie a little bit at this point but not much. So anyway they started fighting over it and a few minutes after the fighting started Stephanie said “I have an idea, lets say that this stick is Justin’s love and we are fighting over it.” then they started fighting over it some more. We ended up getting to Ashleys house and they were running around and eventually made their way inside. I just stood outside waiting, then Diane (I probably spelt that wrong but w/e) Ashleys older sister, I think she was 17, came out and asked me if I wanted to come in, I made some excuse and said i had to go home and I left.

So the next day I come to school and talk to them, Stephanie announced that she was the one who had won the stick. Now I’m guessing this was a big turning point for me. Something must have clicked subconsciously because of what Stephanie said the day earlier. I didn’t realize it then but now I know that that was one of the big reasons why I liked her so much. So it all just kind of went from there. I was friends with Kyle at this time and he was going out with Emilie Sirota, and Ashley was going out with Colin and we all kind of came together in a clash. We made a group of 8 of us, Justin Bonneville, Kyle Shore, Colin Thiessen, George Wood, Stephanie Elders, Ashley Rapson, Emilie Sirota, and Alyssa Cooper. We all hung out together and stuff but it didn’t last long, eventually time went on and Ashley and Colin broke up taking Colin out of the group and then Kyle broke up with Emilie kicking her out of the group. So at that point we were reduced to 6 people. This was about 4 months before grade 8 was over.

So now I’ll back up quite a bit and tell you what was up with me, as you know I liked Stephanie, and as time went on I liked her more and more. I wanted to ask her out but I had no idea what to say, I had never asked anyone out before. I eventually made some big speech thing that I memorized and was going to say to her, it was just perfect but I was way too nervous. Day after day we went through the same thing, I wanted to ask her out but was too nervous,

So then a little while later she starts liking this guy named Aaron from Cadets. I think at the time he was 16 or so anyway, this wasn’t good for me, I had to act fast or I’d end up loosing her. I changed my little speech thing a little to incorporate Aaron in, don’t ask about that plz. I still never asked her out, then Aaron asked her to the Cadet ball that we were having, that wasn’t too much of a downer for me, what really hurt me emotionally was about a week before the ball, no it was Wednesday, and the ball was on Saturday, Aaron asked her out. Now that didn’t really hurt me, what hurt me was that I was told this by Ashley. And another thing, all of Stephanies friends told me that she didn’t like me but she had never told me herself, that’s what I would have wanted. Just for her to be truthful with me and actually tell me whether or not she had any feelings for me. That never happened. So time went on, Just to let you know, I'm leaving a few thing out that I don’t remember so yeah.
SO now we come back to where the group was reduced to 6, Shortly after that Stephanie and Aaron broke up. This was good for me, but I still was too nervous to ask her out.

Now I come to where I am now, I am so confused and my life is so mixed up. Stephanie knows how I feel about her, but that doesn’t change anything, I have a sinking feeling that she doesn’t like me, the only thing that kept me liking her all that time was a feeling in my heart that she actually liked me, but now I doubt it, I just don’t know what to do. I want to ask her if she has any feeling for me in person, I’ll probably do it but I already know the answer, I just need to hear it from her to make sure. I guess now my feelings for her are slowly slipping away into nothingness. But I;ll tell you one thing, she’ll always have a place in my heart.

Well I’m going to be starting school soon, going into grade 9 at Tec-Voc. All my other friends are going to Kelvin so I’m going to have to make new ones. I guess if you actually read all this you know quite a bit more about me now. Id you haven’t noticed this whole thing seems to be leaning to wards my “love life” if you can call it that, but that’s probably because that’s what I was thinking while writing this, I was actually inspired to write this by a new friend of mine whom I met at camp Nutimik. We were talking on MSN and she asked about Stephanie, I told her it was along story and she said she didn;’t have time and asked if I could send it to her in an e-mail, I was going to do that but I decided to do with in stead. This pretty much explains it anyway.
So I hope I didn’t bore you with all of this and if you haven’t yet, check out the rest of my site, this part will be updated every so often (whenever something significant happens that I feel deserves to be put in here. So you can check back sometime for more updates. I will also be starting a daily journal which will be posted on the web site.
