Details About My Week?

Remember how a few days ago, I promised that when I use my laptop I'll explain in detail why I've been busy? Well, now I'm using a laptop.

Okay, so, on Monday, my aunt gave birth but her older son was very sick. So, my mum picked us up early from school, so we could all go and stay with him. The reason she took us out of school is that their house is far from school and she didn't know if she'd have time to be able to pick us up when school ends.

But when we got their, my uncle told us to take him back to our grandparents' house, because the doctor needed to see him. Oh, and he had tonsillitis. When we got to our grandparents' house, he had a fever of about 40, and I think at some point it even reached 41. So of course, we were all trying to help, and we were stressed because he was crying and so on.

We stayed with my grandparents until about 11, which was when we were sure that my cousin was fast asleep. The next day we went to school, but after school we went to my grandparents' house to look after my cousin again. And we've basically been doing that all week. So until today, I hadn't been able to spend any time at home, because normally when we came back, I'd be so exhausted, that I'd just sleep right away.

And, on top of all that,  we haven't been able to see my new cousin. In fact, Tarek, my cousin that was sick, hasn't been able to see his brother yet. And, Tarek also hasn't seen his mother since Monday, so it must be horrible for him.

Luckily, he looks like he's much better, so hopefully he'll get to see them soon. And, we're definitely going to see my new cousin some time this week.

Oh, and I've had absolutely no time to study for SAT. I mean, technically, you don't really need to study, but you need to just practice a lot. And, I kind of need to refresh my mind on some math rules. I don't think I'll have time to study math today, so I'm not optimistic that I'll do well tomorrow on the test. I guess I'll just need to hope my English score is good!

I know that this didn't have as much detail as you might have wanted - or too much detail that you don't care about - but at least it's a long post! Right?

BYE!

Introverts and Attention

So, yesterday I was reading an article about introverts and how extroverts always take the lime light, making introverts feel left out. Now, being an introvert, I found the article quite interesting, and I wish I had a link to it, so you could read it and find it interesting too. But I don't. Oh, well.

I know what the writer meant by extroverts always getting attention. They tend to give off friendly vibes, while introverts give off unfriendly vibes. Now, this doesn't mean that introverts are unfriendly and that extroverts are friendly; it's just the initial vibes people get when they're around them.

I personally know that I don't give off friendly vibes. I don't have 'I want to be best friends with everyone' written all over my face, because I don't want to be. But that doesn't mean I want people to ignore me all the time.

I'm not goig to lie: a lot of the times I like being invisible. In fact, I spend a whole lot of time thinking of ways to not be noticeable. But that doesn't mean I want to be ignored all the time. Sometimes, I want to ne noticed, but being an introvert, I find it hard to bring out my friendly, welcoming vibes to be noticed.

Obviously, I know most people seem to be comfortable around me, and think I'm a really kind person - which I'm really not - but that doesn't mean I'm not ignored while the extroverts get all the attention.

Don't get me wrong, I loe being an introvert, it's just I could relate to the article I read, and I wanted to write about it today.

Sorry if my thoughts weren't organised, but I'm sort of sick and can only think about sleeping now.

Goodnight!

Everyday?

So, I was thinking - and by that, I mean I just thought of this now - that next year maybe I might try to blog everyday. Not just in one month, but everyday.

I just really enjoy blogging, and it's a way to write a lot - something I really love to do. And now, thanks to the fact that I have unlimited 3G and I almost always have my phone it's a whole lot easier for me to blog.

So, what do you think? I mean, I know no one will read my blog everyday, but I think it'll be good for me. Like, when I'm older, I'll be able to read what I wrote and remember the 'good old days'.

I still haven't decided if I'll do this yet. But I still have 3 months to think about it. And maybe by January I'll have forgotten what a blog is, or that I ever thought about blogging everyday.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Also, count how many times I wrote 'everyday'. ;)

Sociology Test and Stuff

Okay, so this is getting annoying. Not only do I have a headache again, but I'm also blogging on my phone before I sleep because I have no time during the day to go online. I don't want this to become the place where I complain endlessly; it's just I really wish I could use my laptop and write something worth reading.

The next time I use my laptop, I promise I'll write all about why I've been so busy. I mean, I kind of wrote a bit about it yesterday, but as far as I can remember I didn't go into detail. So I'll do that sometime in the next few days.

Also, I have a Sociology test tomorrow. So wish me good luck! That's an order!

Actually, don't. I think asking someone to wish you good luck cancels out any luck that person may have given you. :P

But I think the test will be simple. Or, at least I hope it is.

See you tomorrow blog! Bye!

Cousins

Today has been a weird day. And it still is weird, so I won't be able to write much today.

As well as today being Nadeen's birthday, it also happens to be my cousins birthday - my cousin that was born about 6 hours ago.

Yeah, you read right, my aunt gave birth today. Anyway, we had to leave school early and go to my uncle's house to take care of my other cousin, who happens to be sick with a fever. So, we came back to my grandparent's house because their house is next to the doctor.

I'm really excited, but I haven't gotten a chance to see my new cousin yet. And, my other cousin is feeling better now, I think. So, that's cool. :)

Also, Nadeen is really happy that she shares a birthday with our new cousin.

I'm happy too. :D

Headaches and Blogging

Hi!

Guess what? I found my locker key. So that was cool.

Tomorrow is Nadeen's birthday. It's hard to think that she'll be turning 18. Heck, sometimes it's hard to believe that I'm sixteen.

Anyway, I forgot to blog today, so I'm writing this quickly on my phone before I sleep. I didn't exactly forget to blog; the whole day I was thinking of blogging but I just never got around to doing so.

Also, I've found out that when I have headaches, like I did today, I tend to try to postpone blogging until I end up not blogging and have to write something short and crappy. So, I guess I'll have to try to not get headaches for the few days left of September. XP

I think I'll end this here, because I plan to wake up at 5:30 for Nadeen's birthday! So, I'll talk to you tomorrow!

Key-Chains

Hi!

For one of the first times, I've lost my locker key. I still don't know if I won't find it, because it could be at school, but I'm not that optimistic. So, today, I learnt how to pick a padlock with a paperclip. I learnt a mediocre way of picking the lock, but hopefully it will work. I already tried it on one of our suitcase locks, and it worked, so I hope that I will be able to do it at school!

But I'm sad I lost my locker key. Want to know why? Because I have a few key-chains on it that meant something to me. Actually I had three things:

1) This orange key-chain that had a plastic seashell in it. (The one you gave me, Isra ;))
2) This kitten key-chain that Nadeen gave me. There were originally two kittens, so she took one and gave it to me, like friendship key-chains.
3) And this gimp key-chain, and the gimp I used was from one of my friends in Canada. And oddly enough, the key-chain was red and white.

I always have the tendency to give almost everything sentimental value, and it's almost impossible for me to throw things. I have a whole bunch of junk in my room, and I always give myself excuses as to why I should keep them. The best part is that although I know that I don't really need them, I end up convincing myself that one day I will. So I keep them.

And that's my life. ;P

Have a great evening! 

SAT

I'm blogging early today! That's something I haven't done in a while.

Next week I'm going to take my SAT, and it hasn't really hit me yet. I don't think that the test will be hard, I just think that I will get tired because it's a long test. And then when I get tired, I'll start doing badly. Nadeen has taken the test a few times, and a lot of my friends have taken it before, but this is my first time.

I have a score that I hope to get, but honestly, I'm not that optimistic because I haven't practiced a lot. I bet you by next Friday, I'll be really nervous. Even now, thinking of the SATs give me butterflies.

Anyway, now Nadeen has a lesson, and she wants me to come and sit with her. It's an English SAT lesson, and I feel that I do okay in the English stuff, but I'll still go and sit with her.

I also just realised that some of you may not know much about SAT (Isra). Basically, it's a 4 hour test with ten sections each section has about 25 questions, and one of the sections is an essay. It's basically an English and math test. I'm not sure how many English sections there are and how many math sections there are, but I know there are more English sections. Anyway, it's important because here in Egypt your SAT score is 60% of what Universities look at. (The other 40% is your grades from High School.) In America, I think it's a bit different. What I've heard is that Universities in America look more at your grades and not on your SAT score. Too bad we're not in America though.

Well, I've got to go now. Hope you have a great Friday! :D

Families

You know school is back when you start to look forward to the weekend! Like I mentioned before, school so far isn't that bad, but I still always look forward to the weekend - who doesn't? So I'm glad it's Thursday.

Guess what? Today I got my ID! So that's something that happened today.

Isra, you said that I'm lucky that I get to see my extended family so frequently, and I know I am. Don't forget that when I lived in Canada I used to get to see them once a year if I was lucky. I remember once I hadn't seen them for 2 years. And I remember that before we moved here, I was really excited because my mum told us that everyday after school we'd go and stay with my grandma because my mum would be at work. I couldn't imagine being able to see my grandma everyday. At the time I thought that there was nothing more I could wish for.

I still feel lucky that I get to see my grandparents so often - although I don't see them everyday like I used to when we first came here. And even though I was always close to them, especially my maternal grandma, I don't think I'd know them as much as I know them if I hadn't lived here and got to see them so frequently. Obviously. But I mean, I've learnt so much about my extended family since I moved here, and that's one of the main reasons why I wanted to come back to Egypt.

I know many people think their family is just a bunch of people they're forced to love and who won't stay out of their business. And those things are true. But they're also (normally) a bunch of amazing people who will always be their for you. Families are really a blessing, and no one should forget that.*

* I don't want to ruin the previous paragraph, but I do understand that some families are just a pain. But I mean, most of them aren't. ;)

Yesterday

Yesterday, after school, we went to my grandparent's house. At their house, we all had to sit in their bedroom. And by 'we' I mean my siblings, mum, grandma, aunt and cousin. So, it was a bit crowded. I mean, it wasn't that bad, but what made it worse than it would normally be was that Nadeen, Christopher, and I had our books and backpacks and we had to do our homework and stuff.

And on top of that, I had a headache, so I was really not in the mood to do any work, even though I had to.

At about seven, we left my grandparent's house to go and get my dad from the airport. He was in Germany for a few days for a conference. Anyway, the airport isn't that far from my grandparent's house, but it takes a long time to get there if it's crowded. Unfortunately for us, yesterday the streets were very crowded.

By the time we got back home it was about ten, and I really was tired - mostly from my headache. And because my cousin was at my grandparent's house, I didn't exactly get to study for the tests I had today. So I just decided to put my alarm at 5am to study for a bit.

So, I ended up waking up today, studying for about 15 minutes or so, and then lying in bed until it was time to get ready for school.

The only reason why I talked about yesterday today was because I said I would. I don't think that this blog was very interesting though. Oh well.

Have a nice day! :)

Lalalala.....

Lalalalalalaa

^Does that count as a blog post?

Sorry, it's just I was really busy today, and I had/kinda-still-have a headache since I came back from school. Anyway, I'm going to sleep now because I plan to wake up really early to study for two tests I have tomorrow which I didn't get to study earlier because of my headache and busyness.

Tomorrow, I think I'll talk about today!

See ya!

And Isra, the whole 'pain' thing made your comment hilarious! Thanks for making my morning!

Paint!

Hi!

Okay, so Isra, you said you don't like moving because you've moved so much that you don't know where your home is, and I understand that. But I think I'd still like the experience, even though like I said, moving is a pain.

I just wanted to comment on that, but I won't bring up moving or change again! Hopefully.

I'm using my phone to blog because I'm at my grandparent's and I don't feel like turning on my laptop when I go home - I know that's a shocker! So, I decided to just write something now.

I really love the smell of paint. Maybe because it reminds me of when we were painting our house in Canada and I was all excited. I remember the painter let us paint things on the walls of our rooms before he painted them, which was a lot of fun. I mean, how often can kids paint on the walls without getting in trouble? So, that was pretty awesome.

Anyway, as I mentioned previously, my grandparents are doing some renovations, and their house smells like paint. So I'm happy. :) (Can you tell that I'm happy by the smiley face?)

Alright, so I guess that's all I've got to say for now. I hope you have a great Monday!

Bye!

Months

Hello! How are you? (Answer in the comments, or else!)

Today was the first day of the second week of school. How exciting.

I think I had a topic that I wanted to talk about today, but of course being me, I forgot what that topic was. Anyway, I'm now going to watch Survivor and do my homework. But before that, let's finish this post!

So, what do you think of the month September? Is it normally a good month for you? Or a depressing month because it means school is back? Or an exciting month because school is back? :P

Okay, here's another question: What's your favourite month?

I think I'd have to say that mine is March, for obvious reasons. But it's not only my birthday that makes me like March. For example, in Canada, we always used to have a week off in March (March Break) so that's another reason why I used to look forward to March. Also, I love March weather. It's still winter, so it's cool, but it's not freezing. Of course, this applies to Canada, since it's never 'freezing' here.Still, here in March the weather is also nice, because you can start to wear t-shirts without feeling uncomfortably cold, and at the same time you don't feel like you're dying of heat.

So, that's my favourite month.

I'm pretty indifferent to September though. It's not my least favourite month - wait, can someone have a least favourite month? I can't think of my least favourite month. But back to September. So, I don't have an opinion of September, but this year I was looking forward for September. And I'm quite glad that I decided to Blog Every Day in September.*

But that's all for today. :) Have a great day!


* I said 'September' A LOT in that paragraph!

More Change and Furniture

I'm going to talk about change again! I bet you didn't see that coming, did you?

So, yesterday, when I talked about change I mainly talked about websites changing their layout, but that's not all I meant by change. That was just the only example I could think of at the time. Another kind of change that people don't like is moving. I personally love to move, whether it's moving to a different country, or just moving to a different house - but that might be because I'm used to it. Some people though find it too much of a pain. Moving is a pain, obviously, but I still like the change.

When things stay the same for too long, I get bored of it. Like classes. If I'm always stuck with the same kids in a class every year, I'd get sick of it. Good thing there are always new kids in my school. :)

Something I always liked to do was go to my friend Nour's house and see what thing has changed. For some reason, her family always used to change the arrangement of the furniture, and I found that really cool. We can't really do that in our house because we built everything specifically for the furniture, but it used to work for her house. Sometimes the dining table would be in one area, and the next time I went it would be in a different area. Do you change the position of the furniture in your house often?

I reason I think I'm talking about change, is that my grandma is reupholstering most of her furniture, repainting the walls, and changing her carpet, and I can't wait to see how her house will look like when it's all finished. And I remember distinctively one day in Canada when I was going down to the kitchen to make my breakfast, I thought, "I'm bored of this house. Imagine how cool it would be to move and to have a completely different house." And this was before we were thinking of moving to Egypt, and I have no idea why I still remember that. But I do. And it just shows that even when I was younger, I liked things to change.

But saying all that, I still like some things to stay the way they are. And sometimes it's nice to have one house that you lived in all your life and all your memories are of that house. I don't have that, because I have memories from many different houses in different countries, and it's a bit odd, but at the same time it's also cool.

I guess I just like change because I'm used to it, and change is a big part of my life.

Change

Change. I don't know, but I've been thinking a lot about change lately. So, that's what I'm going to talk about today. But I guess you guessed that from the title.

I'm a person who likes change, but I think the majority of people don't. For example, when websites like Facebook or YouTube change just one little thing, everyone complains. But I normally like the change. Is that weird? Do you like change? Or does it annoy you? Or, does it depend?

I don't like all change, though. Sometimes things do change for the worse, but when it concerns something as small as the layout of a website, I don't see the point in complaining and letting it ruin the fun of using that website.

I wish I could elaborate more, but once again, I'm using Christopher's computer, and he's becoming more impatient by the second. So, maybe I'll continue this tomorrow. But probably not.

I have to wake up early tomorrow, so I'm going to sleep now. Don't know why I told you that, but goodnight!

Nothing. Honestly, don't read this.

Arghh, I have nothing to write about today. That's why I've been putting off blogging, but now I have to post something, before it gets too late and I forget about blogging.

So, it's the weekend. That's cool. I honestly have nothing of value to say.

I'll just stop this here. sorry.

I think there are fireworks outside.

BYE!

Homework

Tomorrow's Thursday! That means that almost a full week of school has gone by. It feels like yesterday was our first day. Actually, no. I take that back. We have way too much homework for yesterday to be the first day. I mean, we don't have a lot of homework, but just more than what you get on the first day, which is no homework.

I don't know why, but I always feel that school shouldn't give homework until a week of school has passed. I don't know why I feel that way - obviously teachers don't agree with me - but I just do. So it feels odd for me to be doing homework now.

The reason I'm talking about homework is that I was doing some now. (Then I watched a video, and then I blogged, so by 'now' I mean fifteen minutes ago, but whatever.) And then I'm going to eat and then come back to do more homework.

I have a question for you. Do you like to do your work - be it homework or any kind of work - as soon as you get it, or do you procrastinate? Because I think that I like to do both. It just depends on how I feel the day I get the work. For example, if I have to do something that's due in four days, and the day I got the work I had a headache or something, I probably won't even start until the last day, but if the day I get it I'm fine, I just do it right away and get it over with. Does how you feel play a factor on when you do your work?* Or do you always finish your work early or late?

I guess I'll go down now to the kitchen, to see how the food is coming along. See you tomorrow! And I can't believe only 14 days of September have gone by!** I can't wait till the end of September! :)

BYE!

*Obviously how you feel affects your work, but I mean in terms of lateness and stuff. Do you understand what I mean? No? Didn't think so. No one understands me! *pout*
JK

**I know that this contradicts with my first paragraph where I mention that this week has gone by quickly, but it makes sense to me, in my head. Sorry if it doesn't in yours. :P

60th?

Hi!

So, I almost forgot to write today! :P But I remembered, so that's good. Unfortunately, I'm using my brother's computer, because I turned off my laptop before I remembered, so I don't have much time to write.

This is my 60th post! Yay! At least, I think it is.

Tomorrow be prepared for a longer post. Maybe.

And Isra, sorry I'm always behind on reading your blog! It's just I haven't had much time to go online lately! :(

My brother's keyboard is hard to type with...I'm so used to my keyboard. :P

Okay, bye! :)

School and Other Things

Hello!

I'm at my grandma's house, using her internet, and using Pottermore! Yesterday, my internet at home was horrible, and I didn't get a chance to do anything online. And I have no clue if we have the internet today or not, so I'm happy that I'm at my grandma's.

So the first day of school was surprising not bad. It wasn't good either, but it just wasn't as bad as I had expected it to be.

I'm in a medium size class of 16 students. I actually don't have anything else to add. But our school is really becoming crowded! Every year there are loads of new students! In my class, they're only 4 new kids though. So far, my class seems good enough. :P

The best thing is that this year I'm with my friends in class. Last year, Randa and Sherry were in an other class and it kind of sucked.

Also, our history teacher has asked us to bring something to school tomorrow to put in a time capsule (it'll only be for a year, though). And I have no clue what to take. I think I'll just go and get something off my dresser; my dresser has so much useless junk on it. Maybe I'll put - okay, I have nothing. I'll tell you guys what I took tomorrow!* ;)

Until tomorrow!


*And by guys I mean Isra, since I think you're the only one reading this. XP x

Hufflepuff!

Hello! So let's talk about being a Hufflepuff!

To be honest, while I was taking the test, I really didn't want to be Hufflepuff. Maybe it was just that I really wanted to be a Ravenclaw, but anyway,  I didn't want to be a Hufflepuff. And the reason I didn't want to be a Hufflepuff is I don't believe that I'm very kind.* But people always think I'm kind when they first meet me, so I knew that after Ravenclaw, I was probably a Hufflepuff.

But after I learned I was a Hufflepuff, I accepted my 'fate' almost instantly. I realised that it wasn't a huge deal. And then when I started reading what the 'prefect' had to say about the house, I fell in love with it. Honestly. I really like what Hufflepuffs stand for, and the more I read the welcome note, the more I realised that I am a Hufflepuff. I guess the test is correct!**

So, to sum it up, I'm really happy. And I'm so over Ravenclaw (kind of). ;P Plus, the badger is adorable!

Besides all this, today was the first day of school. I think I'll write about school tomorrow though!***

BYE!

__

*I'm not unkind, I've just met people who are much kinder than me. XP

**The test may not be completely right though, because one of my friends (Randa) got sorted into Ravenclaw, but she's not a Ravenclaw at all. I can see her being in any house, but not Ravenclaw. Not because she't not smart, she is, but because studying isn't the most important thing for her and stuff.

***I feel like I always tell you what's coming up! XP

Pottermore!

Tomorrow is the first day of school, and I still have things to do, so this will once again be short.

But something awesome happened today! I got my Pottermore email! And I got sorted. Guess what house I got in? I bet you guessed wrong.

I got into Hufflepuff! I'm going to write a post tomorrow explaining how I feel about this. But now, I really have to go!

Bye x

Glasses?

I went to the eye doctor today and bought some new glasses.

That was my day, or at least the thing that was normal for a Friday.

I don't have anything much to say. Also, it's almost 12 and I'm really tired. XP

Sorry about this crappy post! See ya tomorrow!

'It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A!'

Yesterday, we - meaning my mum, siblings and me - were in the car on our way home from shopping, when the YMCA song comes on the radio. Naturally, we all start doing the dance. At first, Christopher was reluctant to do the dance because I think he was embarrassed, but after a few times and a bit of convincing he joined in.

The funny part is that we were on a road that had quite a few cars and one of the drivers behind us saw us dancing. He started laughing hysterically, and then started moving his hands like we were. I don't think he knew the dance, but it was funny that he was trying to do it. 

When the song ended, the driver went ahead of us, and while he passed us, he started clapping and laughing. It was really funny, and we all practically laughed the whole way home.

I was going to share that yesterday, but I forgot. So, here you go. 

Has something like that ever happened to you guys? Tell me in the comments, if you want. ;)

I hope you guys had a great week! Bye!

Torchbox Pants?

Today has basically been a lazy day for me.

Actually, I went out in the morning to get some school pants. They didn't have my size, so we have to wait till tomorrow to go and get them, but at least we picked them out.

Other than that, though, it's been a lazy day. I've basically spent the whole day on my laptop, which is cool, because I watched a lot of YouTube videos and my subscription box is a lot emptier - it's still pretty full though. I don't know why I subscribed to so many people.

Now, I'm loading an episode of 'Torchwood' which is a show that's based on Doctor Who. Like, there are characters from Doctor Who and it's also about aliens and stuff. I haven't actually watched it yet, but I hear it's really good. Plus, I'm a huge Doctor Who fan, so I'm sure I'll like it.

I really need to stick to one topic in my posts. I'm always all over the place, but I just write what's on my mind, and normally I have more than one thing on my mind.

But now I have nothing else I want to say, so I guess I'll leave. Bye! 

Lots of Places I Don't Know The Names Of

Today is Tuesday, but I've been so busy that I won't be able to upload a video. So that sucks.

We left the house early and went to our school to get our report cards which we were supposed to get in June, and to get some papers that my mum needed. Basically, those papers were for my ID which I've been allowed to have since I turned 16 in March, but we've only started the process now cause I'll need it to get into the SAT in October.

After we left the school, we went to the - actually I have no idea what that place was. It was where they took that paper we got from the school to verify that I was a student or something like that. I'm really not sure of what all the papers and things were for. Anyway, turns out that the school secretary didn't stamp the paper, which that place asked for, for more verification.

We headed back to school, got the paper stamped, and then went back to the place that's name is not known to me and then we had to go to the place where all the documents are made. And I've completely drawn a blank as to what it's called in English.*

Then, we got some more papers, and some of them needed to be photocopied. But their photocopier was not working, so we had to look for a place that had a photocopier. We found one, and then went back to the place that's name I can't remember in English, where we had to wait a bit and then I had my picture taken.

And that's the end of that story.

And to top it all off, the streets were really crowded, so I spent most of the time in the car. At least I got to listen to my music!**

I guess I'll talk to you guys tomorrow!
BYE!

* It's so weird when that happens, since English is my first language and stuff. But I guess it's because normally when people talk about that place, they say it in Arabic, so I forgot it in English. And I do know the word...It's just slipped my mind...XP Weird....

** I always listen to my music in the car, and I normally don't listen to it any other time. So I actually enjoy car rides. :)

Whoo?

Hi!

Guess what? Guess what? I didn't forget to blog today! Whoo!

Does 'whoo' have an 'h'? Woo? Whoo? Whoo cares? (See what I did there?)

Today, we had a surprise birthday party for my brother, Christopher. I don't think he had a clue, so that was good. :)

Yesterday, I had a chat with some of my friends about the death penalty. I, personally, am totally against the death penalty, no matter what the crime is. I just don't think anyone has the right to take away another person's life. And I would like to know your opinions on this topic, so leave me a comment! If you want. But I just find this so interesting, and even though my net was crappy, and I kept getting disconnected, I really enjoyed the chat.

Tomorrow, I might go to the eye doctor to get my eyes checked. I haven't checked my eyes in three years, and I think it's time for me to get new glasses. And honestly, I hate my glasses, so I'm excited to get new ones, especially since I might need to start wearing them all the time.

I just came back from playing CoD with my brother. And now I really need to post this because it's almost midnight. I'll talk to you guys tomorrow!

Bye!

:(

I'm so horrible. I forgot to write a blog post today. I don't even have an excuse for you guys; it just completely skipped my mind.

And now I'm going to sleep...I'm sorry! I'll try extra hard not to forget again!

Bye x

Summer and Busyness

Hey!

So, I've decided that I will try to write my blog post early. I remember in August, I always used to leave it to the last minute and then I would worry that I wouldn't post it in time, even though some days I could have posted a blog during the day. And I have no idea why I'm telling you this.

My grandparents were staying over for a bit. We were supposed to travel to Mediterranean Sea, and they were supposed to go to the Red Sea, but then we had some car problems, so they came to stay with us. My dad went before us to the M. Sea so he's been there for a while and is coming back today.

And I know that this is really late, but happy belated Eid to all the Muslims reading this! Sorry, if I hadn't told you that before! I hope you guys had a great couple of days!

School starts soon. It still hasn't hit me yet. This summer a) went by really quickly and b) was a whole lot busier than I expected. Well, 'the summer' wasn't busy because 'the summer' is a season and can't really be anything, but I was busy during summer. ;)

My (other) grandma and aunt are coming soon for lunch, so I won't have much time online now. So, I think I will end this here.

I hope you all have a great day! x

More Stuff About America

Hello!

I guess I'll continue where I left off yesterday.

So, then we went back to the hotel, checked out, and then drove from Cleveland to Youngstown, which is where we were going to stay for the rest of the trip. When we got there, we went to Taco Bell for lunch/dinner and then we went grocery shopping,

Well, not really grocery shopping, but we went to buy a few essential things, like root beer. For those of you who don't know, root beer is almost impossible to find here, and it's probably the only soft drink that I can say I really like. So, for example, when we go to Canada the first thing we do is get root beer. So we also did that in America.

But we didn't only get root beer; we got some food for my cousin, cheese strings (another thing you can't find here), chocolate and stuff like that.

And then the rest of our stay there was basically shopping and eating.

I could tell you about the flight back home, but I feel like that'd be really boring since I just told you yesterday about the flight to Cleveland.

Oh, and for the whole trip, I had a bad cough. And everyone in my family - except luckily my aunt and cousin - got a cold for at least a day and a bit with a fever. Being so busy though, we couldn't take time to rest.

You know what? I haven't told you why we went to America yet. Well, my aunt, who's now nine months pregnant, wanted to go to America before she gave birth. So, a few months ago she went see if she could get her visa so she could travel while she was still 4 months pregnant. But the embassy (or whatever) didn't reply to her until a week or so before we traveled. So she went to get interviewed and told them the truth, so they gave her a visa.

Now, obviously, she couldn't travel alone since she was eight months pregnant at the time and she had a 3 year old with her. So, the only people who could travel without a visa to the States was us since we have Canadian passports. So, we went with her. Originally, it was only supposed to be my mum who went with her, but at the end, we all went.

And this is my last log post about that! I will see (sort of) you all again tomorrow!

BEDS and America

In case you didn't notice, I was unable to finish BEDA. Once I was in America, I found it impossible to blog. I was just too busy and always on the go and the only time I had the internet long enough to write a proper blog was at night when we were at the hotel. And by then I would have been exhausted and it would have been a pain to write a blog post. Also, whenever I took out my phone, my cousin would ask for it to play games, and how can I say no to a 3 year old?

Anyway, I've decided to try to do BEDS (Blog Every Day in September). I think it will be better, because even though I start school soon, I doubt I'll be as busy as I was in August. And, as I said before, I think it's better to blog during school days because then I'm looking for anything to do that isn't school related.

I guess, I can tell you guys about my trip to America now. So here goes:

To get to Cleveland - which is where we were staying - we first had to take a 12-hour flight from here to New York, and then a 1-hour flight from New York to Cleveland. The flights weren't as bad as I thought they'd be, especially since I've never been on a flight that was longer than 7-8 hours and was expecting 12 hours to be horrible.

The worst part in the whole trip was actually the stay in the JFK Airport in New York. We were originally supposed to stay 6 hours at the airport, but our flight was delayed and we ended up staying more like 9-10  hours. And, because most of us didn't sleep on the first flight, we were exhausted. Also, the airport was so crowded that it was hard to even find a place to sit. It was horrible.

But then we arrived in Cleveland and we all just crashed once we reached the hotel.

The next day, we got up early (we got up early every day we were there, partly because of jet lag, and partly because we had to do things). Then we went to get the car that we rented from the airport.

My mum, Christopher and I were the ones who went to get the car and to go to the airport, we had to take a shuttle bus. And guess what happened? We had our mum's iPad with us and we forgot it on the bus. We only discovered it was missing a while later while looking at the rental cars and you can imagine how stressful that was for all of us. My mum had to call the hotel and tell them what happened to see if they could get it and then she called my aunt to tell her to go to the reception to see if they found it. Basically, we were all panicking.

Luckily, the hotel was able to find the iPad in the bus and gave it to my sister, so that was good. XP

I'll continue this tomorrow, because this has become really long.

BYE!

Before 6am

It's before 6am, and we're still at home. I think all of us are ready but we don't actually need to leave the house before 6. So now we're all just doing the last little things and closing the bag.

I'm excited, but honestly, now I'm just tired. I didn't exactly sleep that well...

I'm going to miss my family that's staying here, my friends and my dogs.

So, I'm going to go and see if I can help anyone with anything!

TTYL! Xp

Airplanes!

I'm blogging before it's dark out! That's almost a miracle! :)

Okay, so now to say why I won't be able to really blog tomorrow! I'm going to travel to America! So basically, I'm going to spend most of my day tomorrow on the plane and when we finally reach our hotel which has internet, I'll be too tired to blog. But, if I have time, I'll write a blog in the Airport in Egypt while I still have 3G.

I'm not going to stay in America for long, but I'm still excited. And what I want to blog about today is airplanes.

I'm a person who in general likes airplanes. But, at the beginning, as soon as I enter a plane, I feel sick and I don't like it at all. Even now, just thinking of airplanes and the smell of airplanes makes me sort of nauseous. After a minute or so on the plane, I'm fine though. And I even feel very comfortable. So, that's weird, right?

I'm charging my Kindle now, and I might buy a new ebook, but that depends on how many books I already have on my Kindle because I forgot. Anyway, I'll probably read on the plane, watch a movie, play with my cousin, and listen to music. And even though it's a long flight, I don't plan on sleeping. But you never know. I might.

Another thing that's weird about me is that I don't actually hate airplane food. I mean, now that I'm thinking so much about airplanes - and like I said, I'm a bit nauseous - airplane food doesn't seem very appetizing, but when I'm eating it, I don't mind it.

Anyway, I'll probably film a lot in America - or at least I plan to. But I will miss my laptop...I'm so addicted to my laptop, dude.

But do you want to know something that sucks about airplanes? The departure times. I have to wake up at 5 tomorrow. And I know that that isn't even all that bad....XP

BYE!

Blogging

I'm writing this right before I go to sleep. You want to know why? Cause I forgot about blogging again. I don't know why I'm doing so badly at BEDA this month. Well, actually I have some theories:

1) In April, I had school, and during school days, I spend my time looking to do things that aren't school related. Like blogging. So I was always thinking about what I was going to blog and when and all that stuff. Now, in the summer, I'm busy doing things I want to do and therefore don't need to think about blogging. (But blogging is something I want to do, I just forget to do it ;))

2) I'm extremely busy! Like if this was BEDJ (J standing for July or June) then I would have no trouble blogging everyday.

But that's enough of that. And yes, I realize that so far in August, I'm either not blogging or blogging about not blogging. So that must be boring for you all.

Anyway, I need to charge my Kindle. (Random...)

Guess what? I got a virus on my laptop today! But I think I - and by 'I' I mean 'Christopher' - managed to get rid of it! And I updated my iPhone and needed to restore it. So that basically took most of my day.

Anyway, I have to sleep now! I'm not going to read this over, so sorry for any spelling/grammar mistakes!

Bye!

Fake People Are Fake

You know what I really hate? People who are fake. You know what I hate even more? People who are fake who go around saying how much they hate fake people.

I know this person who is constantly saying things about how she can't stand fake people and how they're horrible and things like that, and she is probably one of the most fake person I know. And that's saying a lot, because I know a lot of fake people - don't we all?

But I was thinking the other day that maybe those kind of people don't realise how fake they are. But that doesn't make much sense, because when you don't think about how you act in front of people then you aren't being fake. And the only way they wouldn't know they were fake is if they didn't think about how they acted in front of people. So I guess, that rules out that.

Well, then that begs the question of why they say things like that? Well, I guess it's obvious: they're fake.

__

So, that was my little sort of rant. It's done now. But I really do hate those kind of people. (And I do hate to use the word hate a lot.)

I would just like to give a heads up to the fact that my blog post on the 15th won't be a proper one, if I even manage to post one. And I'll explain more about why that will be the case later.

For now let's talk about:

My Surroundings: I'm in my room, alone, sitting my my chair that pulls out to be a bed and part of the chair is pulled out. That's all I have to say.

Remember how last BEDA I did this thing where I ended all my posts with song quotes? Well, I'm not doing that this time.

Re: Pottermore

This is a response to Hayley's blog post. And if for some reason, you don't follow her blog, you should. XP

1) What's your Pottermore username?
HowlGlow66

2) What house do you think it sounds like?
Am I missing something? Can a username sound like a house? I guess I'd say it sounds like it would belong in Ravenclaw, cause Ravenclaws 'glow' with knowledge? Or because I'm a Ravenclaw and I would like my username to be Ravenclaw too...

3) What house do you want to be in?
Ravenclaw!

4) Does your username relate to you at all?
Well, there was a time when some of my friends called me T-Dawg and other names that were related to dogs because we all had animal nicknames, and dogs howl. So I guess that's something.

5) What kind of wand do you wish to get?
Any wand that preforms well.

6) Are you pure, half-blooded, or Muggle born?
I have no clue. I guess that makes me a Muggle born, because I would know if I was pure or half-blooded, right?

7) Which day did you get into Pottermore?
Day 3. And, actually, most of the people that I was talking to about Pottermore also got in on day . :)

8) What shape is your Patronus?
A fox.

9) What does your boggart look like?
My boggart would be like Mrs. Weasley's.

10) Would you rather be an Animagus or a Metamorphmagus?
That's hard, because they're both incredibly cool things to be. But I think I'd go with being a Metamorphmagus because then I could change anything about my appearance while being an Animagus I could only change to one form.

11) If you were an Animagus, what animal would you be?
I think I'd be some sort of wild dog. Or just a big dog like Sirius.

And that's the end! Have a great day! :)

Forgetfulness

So, again I missed a day of blogging. I actually didn't even realise that I hadn't blogged until last night at 3am, so I was three hours late and I was too lazy to turn on my laptop and write a proper blog. Instead of making up for blogging in September though, I thought I'd just write two blog posts today.

Now, I can see that some of you are thinking that that makes no sense and that I could just write one extra long blog post. But, there's this Pottermore questionnaire thingy that I want to answer, and I want it to be in it's own post. (It's a response to HayleyGHoover.) So I'll do that later.

It's funny how crazy this August has been so far! My (second) cousins that were staying over left today, and we won't see them for a while. So that's sad, cause they're the part of my family that I really like. Don't get me wrong; I like the majority of my family, but there are some that I 'really' like and some that I don't like at all. But you all can relate to that. I doubt there's a person in this world who likes all their family. (And by family I mean my extended family. I love everyone in my immediate family.)

I've been waking up early and sleeping late these past few days, and tomorrow I plan to sleep in. And my cold is almost a hundred percent gone, which is good.

Haha, just heard my mum say something that implies that I won't exactly be able to sleep in tomorrow. At least I won't have  to wake up 8:30 though. :)

You know I never imagined I would be this busy in August. I knew I would be busy yesterday, because it was my brother's birthday, and that we'd have a few cousins over, but I didn't think they'd stay for long. But it really has been fun so far. And we might travel next week. Things don't seem like they'll calm down anytime soon.

But now, I'm going to answer that Pottermore questionnaire and watch some videos! Hopefully tomorrow I won't forget to blog. :)

Nothing

Hi

I'm using mum's iPad now, so this might take a century for me to write.

Yesrerday, when I was writing, I may or may not have had a fever and that might be the reason why my post was so weird. Or not. Also, I ended up not making video so it wasn't horrible.

I have absolutely nothing to say today.

My Surroundings: I'm on the roof. Nadeen, Christopher and my mum's cousin, Mark are sitting to my right and my mum is sitting to my left. Mark is now playing CoD and we are all watching. Christopher was playing CoD, but now he's playing guitar. And my mum was using her iPad until I took it. Nadeen is watching a video on her iPhone.

Bye!

Being Sick and Stuff

Oi! Guess what? I'm sick! Woohoo!

No, but honestly, I feel great. (Sarcasm).

You know what's really annoying? That sarcasm is not easily intercepted through text. You have to know the person you're talking to well to be able to detect when they are using sarcasm.

I bet none of you guys knew that.

I'm literally typing with my eyes half closed. In fact, sometimes I close them completely. Like now...

I woke up at 5:30am today. So that was fun. Actually, it wasn't all that bad because I got to finish watching Sherlock Holmes and a few YouTube videos. I'm not tired now though. It's 11:30pm now, and I'm still going to watch a few things.

My video tomorrow is going to be horrible. That's just a heads up. You know. In case you care. Which you don't.

Cool story, bro.

I shouldn't be allowed to blog when I'm sick.

I just smacked my keyboard. Sorry keyboard.

I'm going to go now. BYE!

My Surroundings: I'm on the roof, on the exercise machine. I'm alone. Everyone else is in their rooms...XD

Harry Potter Questionnaire!

Since I have no idea what to write about today, I thought I'd answer a Harry Potter questionnaire! So, this should be fun!

1) Who is your favourite character?
Luna! She's definitely my favourite. Ron, Hermione, Sirius and Tonks all tie for second place, and Fred and George tie for third. :)

2) Who is your least favourite character?
Pettigrew. I hate his guts, the traitor.

3) If you were one of the professors, who would you be?
That's a tough one. I think I would probably be a female Lupin - without a furry little problem.

4) If you were one of the students, who would you be?
Definitely Hermione. She is the character I can relate to the most. Except she cares way more about school than I do.

5) Which one is more like you? Harry, Ron or Hermione?
Hermione.

6) Which house would you be in?
Ravenclaw! :D

7) What position would you play on quidditch?
Well, I'm not exactly sure I'd make the team, but if I did I would definitely play chaser. Or maybe seeker. Probably chaser though, because I wouldn't want the outcome of the game to be mostly on my shoulders...

8) Which owl would you be? Hedwig, Errol, Pig or Percy's?
Uhm, none? I don't think I would ever be an owl...

9) What animal would you bring to Hogwarts?
An owl! Just because I wouldn't be an owl, doesn't mean I wouldn't want one. :)

10) What subject would you be best at?
Hmm, I don't know. I don't know what subject I'm best at at the school I go to....I guess I would be best at Muggle Studies? I don't know. I'd like to think I'd be best at DADA. ;)

11) Which subject would you be worst at?
Divination

12) Which store would interest you most in Hogsmeade?
Honeydukes or Zonko's.

13) Who would you want to go with to the Yule Ball?
Uhm, I guess I'll go with Ron since I'm like Hermione. Or maybe George or Fred. Or Neville. Or I don't know. XP Or Terry Boot, just cause of our names. Wouldn't that be cheesy?

14) Who would be your number one enemy?
'Peter Pettigrew, I'm coming for you, you'd better run!'*
Or I guess Voldemort, cause Pettigrew is not worthy enough to be my enemy.

And finally:


15) What would your patronus be?
I have no clue. Maybe a fox? Or a wolf? Or a monkey? I have no idea why I just wrote monkey.

So, I probably could have written more detailed answers, but it's already past midnight.

My Surrounding: I'm sitting on my bed alone.

BYE!

All Over The Place

Remember how I said that I had to write a long email yesterday? Well, I didn't write it yesterday, and, instead, I wrote it now. So, I'm not really in the whole writing mood, as you can imagine. But I'm still going to blog.

I must admit that yesterday I wasn't exactly in a good mood when I wrote my blog. I think it was partly because I was tired, partly because I was sick, and mostly because the internet was slow. The speed of the internet can really affect my mood. No joke.

But, I'm in a much better mood today. I just don't feel like writing. XP

Again, I'll be quite busy the next few days, and I really hope I remember to blog everyday, even if it's a paragraph long. I think my favourite blog post so far this month was the first one.

I only have fifteen minutes to post this before midnight! Yikes!

Did I really just spend almost two hours writing an email? Yes, yes I did. But it was an important email, and I did enjoy writing it.

I love how none of my blog posts have any real topic. I'm all over the place. Maybe I should start thinking of actual topics before I start writing and not just writing the first thing that comes to my mind. Or maybe the beauty of this - if there is in fact any - is that there are no topics. Maybe. I mean, it could be a possibility, right? I can almost see you disagree with me. Fine. I don't care what you think anyway. (That may or may not be a lie.)

Well, I think this is time for me to press 'Preview' and then 'Publish Post'. But before I do:

My Surroundings: My mum is sitting on the chair next to me using her iPad. Leo is curled up in a ball, fast asleep, in front of her chair while Sasha is curled up in a ball, fast asleep, in front of my chair. And of course, the TV is on. Oh, and I'm in the family room.

BYE!

Nothing of Actual Importance

I feel like I shouldn't have promised to write a long blog today, because I can't think of what to write. I haven't used my laptop for a few days and I have a long email to write and YouTube videos to watch. And, of course, I have to write this 'long' blog post.

Also, the internet for some reason is slow.

Mubarak's trial was a few days ago. I'm not exactly sure what happened because I was busy and didn't get to watch it. But it was postponed to later in August, as far as I'm aware. And people say he looked really healthy considering all the rumours about him being 'seriously ill'.

I feel like drinking coffee.

Summer's going by really quickly. I mean, we only have a month left. I know that a month is still a lot, but it's also not a lot. There are still plenty of things I wanted to do this summer which I still haven't done. And time is running out.

You know what? I'm going to end this here.
BYE

'Ello

'Ello!

This is going to be short and sweet.

First of all, I want to apologise for not writing yesterday. I completely forgot...

We have some relatives staying over for a couple of days and we haven't seen them in ages, so I've been really busy. So, I forgot about BEDA yesterday. And today, I don't have much time to write.

But, tomorrow, I will write a long blog post and I will blog am extra day to make up for not writin yesterday. Okay? Oh wait, no one actually reads this but me...well, I guess I'll say 'Okay' to myself. That sounds so pathetic! Haha.

Well, bye!

Body Language...

How are you? I hope you're doing super!

Is that a weird start to this post? I think it might be. Oh, well...

So, I've just finished watching 'Lie to Me'. Nour, one of my best friends, suggested that I watch it, and, I must say, it really is a good show. I might even have to add it to one of my favourite shows. Anyway, the reason I like it is it's about body language, and more specifically facial expressions. Now, this is a topic that I find very interesting. I wish I was able to tell when people are lying and when they're telling the truth. 

I guess, to some extent, most of us can tell when someone is lying. Not always, of course. I know some people who are experts at lying*, and it's quite hard to tell when they're lying. But, because I know them well, I think I can tell most of the time when they lie. So maybe it depends on how well you know a person? But, I don't think I've explained what I mean by the first sentence in this paragraph; I'll elaborate in the next.

Okay, so most people - not all, though - are able to detect when someone is being sarcastic, for example. We understand how people work because we are people. Wow. I don't know where that sentence came from, but anyway. We understand body language, even if we are unaware of it. So, we can tell sometimes when people aren't telling the truth. 

I don't think I should ever try to explain what I mean again. Even I, who knows what I mean, find it hard to understand that previous paragraph. Luckily, I think the two or three people who actually read this know me well enough to understand what I meant to some extent, so that's good. If you guys don't understand, tell me in the comments and I'll try to elaborate even more. Not that I think that will help. I'll probably elaborate by saying, 'People are people, so we are people,' or something like that.

Anyway, I would definitely recommend 'Lie to Me', and it's not at all bloody!**

Yesterday I talked about my surroundings, so I'm going to do that again. Maybe it will become a thing, or not.

My dad is sitting on the chair to the left of me and he's playing a game on his iPad. My mum is sitting on the couch on my right, talking on the phone with her iPad on her lap. My dogs are sleeping on the floor and my siblings aren't in the room. Also, the TV is on, but I don't think anyone is actually watching it. WASTE OF ELECTRICITY! 

And that's all for today! See you - actually, I won't actually see you - tomorrow!

*AKA Minitwinies. But they're actually surprising honest most of the time even though they're excellent liars. I take my hat off to the two of you ;)

**That's a reference to a previous blog post.

My Sister and Brother

Hi again!

It's August, so you know what that means, don't you? BEDA! I'm so excited to be blogging everyday again!

But enough exclamation points. Let's talk about something. Hmm, I honestly have no idea what to talk about. I'm at my grandparents, using my phone to blog because the wi-fi isn't working so I can't use a laptop. Nadeen, my sister, is looking out the window and Chrstopher, my brother, is talking on the phone.

So, the reason I'm blogging now is I'll be at my grandparents for most of the day and I don't know when I'll be going home today. I might go home at 11:30pm and so I'll only have half an hour to post a blog. And all this is SO interesting, right?

Moving on...Christopher played a trick on Nadeen and now Nadeen is shouting at him. But she isn't mad; she's joking with him. And now she's singing a song. This is how the song goes:

'Since the day you were dead,
You were just an idiotay...'

Then she started singing random French words. Now, she's squeaking. As you might have guessed, Christopher and I are laughing hysterically. Christopher just said to her, 'Are you actually saying words, or just screaming sounds?' XP

Oh, how my siblings make me laugh. And sure, they get on my nerves sometimes, but I love them. Don't tell them I said that, though. ;)

Until tomorrow!

Oh! I almost forgot: Ramadan Kareem to my Muslim friends! :)

It's been a while...

Hello! I know it's been a while since I've blogged, but, honestly, I've been meaning too. But because of school, I haven't really gotten a chance to blog.* But school's over, so here I am!

We just finished school yesterday, and for some reason it hasn't hit me that it's summer yet. I still feel like I'll have school next Sunday and that I have to do homework or study or something.
Arghh, my laptop is being so slow today! I don't know why! I'm going to have to restart it, I think. And none of you care about that, do you? :P

So, what are your plans for the summer? Anyone going anywhere exciting? I probably won't go anywhere, but I actually like staying at home, so I have no problem with that. Not that I don't love to travel, because I do. I just also love to stay at home and 'chill'.

So, I've recently started watching 'Lie to Me', which I really like. I don't know about you, but I find facial expressions and stuff like that very interesting. Anyway, I'm loading an episode of 'Lie to Me' now, and that's why I can't restart my laptop now. And I felt like mentioning this because it wouldn't be a proper blog post if I didn't mention what I was watching now would it?

Well, I don't actually have much to say today, I just felt like blogging. And I plan to blog quite a bit this summer.** But then again, I planned to blog at least once a month and I didn't blog once in May...

Anyway, have you noticed how I almost always start my paragraphs with 'anyway' or 'so', or something like that. Those words have a name but I forgot what they're called. I'd google them, but I can't be bothered.
So  - see what I mean? - I will talk to you all later, and I hope you have a fantastically great day! :)

BYE! X

* When I finish school I'll have to come up with some other excuse to use for everything.
** Especially in August. ;)

Wedding

I said I was going to talk about the wedding, yes? So here goes.

We ended up being late and missed the whole church sermon (yes!). So all we did was stand outside of the church next to the plate of chocolate, because that was our job: to stand next to the chocolate. I have a feeling we were supposed to do more than just stand there, but that's what we did in any case.

Then it was off to the hotel for the reception. We arrived there early.

We had to stand outside of the hall for a while - for some unknown reason. And then, we were allowed in where there were chairs. I mean, there were other things too, like fancy lights and a dance floor but all I saw were CHAIRS. There weren't any seating arrangements though, so it took a while for everyone to figure out where they were going to sit. I haven't made up my mind on whether no seating plan is a good thing or not. I mean on one hand you aren't stuck sitting next to family members you don't particularly like.* But on the other hand, it's not as neat and people have to discuss where they're going to sit.

Anyway, we sat. And then waited for the bride and groom to come. I can't exactly remember how long we waited and I don't know what time it was when they arrived, but when they did they walked down these white stairs and there was a bunch of drumming and music. And yeah.

Then they had the first dance and then there were other dances which I didn't see. A while later I went and - take a breath - danced. And okay, it was a weird kind of dance, but it was still a dance.

Then we ate. I ate mostly pasta cause everything else was meat.

After eating the best man and groom made speeches. I didn't hear either of the speeches because the volume of the microphone wasn't very loud and I didn't care enough to go stand up. But I'll assume they were good.

There was the cutting of the cake and then people started to leave. In general, it was a small wedding, and the majority of the people there were old. But I prefer smaller weddings. All in all, the wedding was nice.

And that was that. I've officially now finished blogging on the days I said I would. So I'm free! No, but seriously, I've really enjoyed blogging and reading your comments.

And thank you Randa for doing this with me, and for keeping me entertained with those texts yesterday during the wedding. **

Last Day!

I've just finished eating a chocolate bar and coffee. Yum. I'm telling you, chocolate and coffee is the best combo ever! Really, just try it. Unless you don't like chocolate and coffee, which would make you just the slightest bit weird...;)

Okay, I said I was going to blog early, and I know that this isn't that early.* But when I woke up I had to go and straighten my hair for the wedding I'm going to today. I don't like to straighten my hair, so I hardly ever do. I won't talk about my hair much here, because I already dedicated a whole video to talking about my hair. Most. Boring. Video. Ever.

Anyway, I have to put nail polish on after I finish this video, so that's why I'm blogging now and not later. I don't think any of you really care about that though...

So, yesterday I was watching the episode of Glee where Darren Criss sings 'Hey Sole Sister'. I still find it a bit surreal to see Darren on a fancy stage and on TV. I guess he'll always be Harry Potter to me. But I'm so happy that he's becoming famous and all that. And, honestly, he was why I wanted to watch Season 2 of Glee.
But enough about Darren.

I'm so glad that I'll have my mobile with me at the wedding.

^Random, much?

So, I guess that's all I have to talk about today. It's officially the last day of BEDA. It's been so much fun writing everyday. But I still have one more blog post that I have to write tomorrow, since I mentioned that I would. And I guess I'll tell you all about to wedding.** So be prepared for that.

** Last time I said that I was going to write about something I ended up sleeping in (Sport's Day) and not writing about it. Maybe I'll sleep in and not go to the wedding...you know, if I went to sleep again.

Random Thoughts

Two more days to go I'll have succeeded in doing BEDA!

Today, I went out with my friends. I always have a great time when I hang with them, because they're just all so amazing. I know I've said that they're awesome before, but I feel like I need to say it again.

Also, it rained today. It didn't rain much, but it rained. Who loves the rain? Actually, the more correct question should be who doesn't love the rain?

Alright, so I'm just going to list the random things that come into my head:

1) My feet are cold.
2) I need to go on the HPA.
3) I want to watch Fringe.
4) I have so much to do (projects and stuff), and yet all I am doing is worrying that I won't have time to do them, instead of, you know, doing them.
5) I love long weekends.
6) The Royal Wedding.
7) The wedding that I'm going to tomorrow.
8) I want to play Halo today.
9) I haven't played Halo in a while.
10) I want to read.
11) I'll stop doing this now.

Okay, so tomorrow I'll probably blog early. That will be a nice change for the last day of BEDA. I hope you all had an absolutely amazing Friday.

Blogging

Wow, I can't believe April's almost over. You know what that means, rift? BEDA is coming to an end. Am I the only sad one here?

Yes, there have been days when I haven't like blogging, but for the most part I've enjoyed blogging everyday. So, I was thinking that I'll try to blog more often throughout the year. I'm not going to say I'll blog everyday, because I don't want to feel forced, but I think I will blog as often as I can.

Of course, two months from now, there's a chance I won't blog ever because I'll forget about all about this, or I just won't feel motivated. That's why I feel that having deadlines and goals (like blogging everyday) works well for me. If I don't have a goal then I won't really motivated. Does anyone else feel like that?

Back to the point, I will continue to blog after April. And I know that there like three people who read this, so I don't feel like I will annoy anyone and fill up their dashboards by blogging often. Not that I would stop blogging if I had more followers. I mean, if younfollow me, then you must like my blogs. I don't know what I'm writing about anymore. Can anyone help me? Please? No? Fine! I don't want your help!!

Okay...

So, that's all I've got for the three of you today! Bye!

At My Grandparent's!

I haven't gone home yet, and now I'm at my grandparent's. It's cool though, because they have Internet so I can blog! Yay!

Don't want to brag, but my grandparents are pretty awesome. I mean my maternal grandma has a twitter and Facebook account, and my maternal grandpa has a Facebook account, and maybe a twitter. I'm not sure if he has twitter or not. But still, pretty cool, huh?

But, anyway, I'm with them now, and I've just finished drinking a cup of coffee. I love coffee, and tea. Actually coffee and tea are basically all I drink.

Andbutso, I'm reading 'Will Grayson, Will Grayson'. See what I did there? I guess if you haven't read WGWG you don't…oh well. Anyway, it's a really good book. I read it before last summer but I read most of it on the plane from England to Egypt, and I hadn't slept at all. And I finished it when arriving home having only slept for a few hours. So maybe I wasn't exactly focused when reading it. I still liked it though; it wasn't like I completely wasn't aware. For the most part I was aware; I was just tired.

Anyway it's an awesome book. I think I mentioned that earlier. And John Green and David Levithan are two of my favourite writers. So, I definitely recommend WGWG and everything else either of them have written.

Want another good book? '13 Little Blue Envelopes' by Maureen Johnson. Now I'm reading the sequel 'The Last Little Blue Envelope' and so far I like it. But MJ is great and hilarious, especially on twitter.

So, now I've reccommended a few good books for you, unless - and there's a chance this is the case - you already know these books.

Until tomorrow!
Peace, Love and Potter! (And Nerdfighteria!)

LALA

Again, I find myself not really wanting to write, but I will. I've already posted so many bad blogs that I feel like I should try my best to keep them good until the end of BEDA. But, I mean, I can't exactly promise anything.

So today, after school, my mum, siblings and I went shoe shopping. Oh, they joy. I won't say how much I hate shopping, because I already have a whole blog post dedicated to that but I will say this: Ughhhh

I'm now looking around the room trying to find something interesting to talk about. So far all I can think about is the bathroom door and my guitar stand. Which one do you guys find more interesting? Yeah, I agree. Unless you chose the other one. You're confused now right. Well, join the club, friend, join the club.

I just - and by 'just' I mean half an hour ago - hit my elbow on my guitar. I don't even know how it happened. But it hurt. And it still does, which is kind of weird. I mean, it wasn't exactly a bad hit. But, it still hurts. Wah-wah, I'm such a cry baby. Maybe.

See that's what you get when you make me write when I don't want to! Just kidding, I'm actually enjoying this. And I know no one but myself is making my write this. Sometimes I don't get myself. Actually, most of the time I don't.

What's 2+2? QUICK!

Did you answer quickly? I sure hope you did. If you didn't then I'd just like to inform you that a thousand (insert whatever living thing here) died. Yes, died. Are you happy now?

And on that weird note, I say BYE!

TV!

As you know, I watch a whole bunch of television shows online. Since I talked about movies before, I thought today I'd list my favourite TV shows. So here they are. And, they're in no particular order.


-Buffy The Vampire Slayer: I'm guessing that most of you already know how much I love this show. It's got the right amount of everything in it. And Buffy, herself, is just so great. And I feel like you really get to know all the characters. And, yeah, it's awesome.

-Lost: I don't even know how to say how much I love Lost. I used to watch like four episodes a day.* I mean, sure, at some points it can get a bit confusing, but most of the times I understood what was happening. And I really do think it's one of the best series out there. Although, it would have been better if Charlie hadn't died.

-Doctor Who: The Doctor. I think that's enough said right there.
No, but seriously, people always judge Doctor Who after seeing the commercials and think it's lame. Trust me, it's far from it. Also, before I started watching this, I searched it and I found that one of it's genre's is horror. I don't think I was ever scared, or can imagine someone being scared, while watching DW.** And I'm so excited for Season 6!

-Fringe: Remember how I said that I might be talking about Fringe and how much I liked it by the end of April? Well, I just want to say that I really know myself. I'm only on Season 2 though. But I may be, kind of addicted to it.

-The O.C.: I haven't actually finished this series and the last time I watched an episode of it was in summer. But I like it. It's not like what I normally like, but it's still good.

-Skins: This is completely different from what I normally watch, but I still enjoy watching it. Maybe it's because I'm sort of an anglophile.

-Friends: How could anyone possibly not like Friends?

-The Big Bang Theory: I have yet to watch an episode of The BBT without laughing my head off. Funniest (relatively new) series ever.

-Firefly: I'm really sad that this show was cancelled. Joss Whedon is a genius. But the ending was good, I just wish we got a better chance to learn more about the characters.

-Dollhouse: What can I say about Dollhouse? I never expected anything that happened in it. It was just full of surprises. And too bad it was cancelled too.

I probably have more shows that I love, but I can't think of them now. And, no, I don't spend ALL day watching TV online...I go to school, and sleep.

Side note: WhatTheBuck is awesome. He's just so funny and sweet and he always makes me smile. I just wanted to say that.

* I know, I know. I have no life.

** Although the whole 'Are you my mummy?' episode was really freaky. I can't remember what it's called, but I may have gotten nightmares. That's the only episode though. I guess I could say DW can be freaky, but not scary.

Sorry

I really, really don't want to write today. So yeah, I won't. But I have to upload something. And I know technically it's after midnight so I'm already late, but whatever.

So this is just a post for the sake of posting something. I'll maybe blog on May 1st to make up for this. I know I said I wasn't going to say sorry here, but I think that I might have to say it now. So, Uhm, sorry.

Movies

I don't really know how to start this today. I actually have nothing to talk about. All I know is that I won't have internet for long, so I have to write this quickly.

I just finished watching the movie 'Taxi' with my brother and sister. I must have watched that movie at least five times, and it's still always hilarious. I love funny movies. I actually like most movies, but if there is humour - even if it's just a bit of humour - then it makes the movie so much better.

You know what other movie I love? Easy A. My friends are probably rolling their eyes if they're reading this because I've told them a million times how much I love it. And almost anytime we discuss movies, I tell them that they have to watch it. I don't know if they all have, but I think it's such a great movie.

Yesterday, my brother and I watched a good movie, but I can't remember it's name. The Heist? I don't know. At first, I didn't think I would like it, but it turned out to be really good. And I loved the ending.

Well, I've got to end this here. I'm sure that there are many other movies which I think are great, but I don't have time to write about them now. Maybe another day.

Bye!

Reading and Stuff

Hello :)

I'm currently sitting up in my room in Ras Sedr. I was reading - something I haven't done in a while - but decided that since I'm free I'd write this. 

Normally when I come here I bring my laptop so I can write and like four books. I don't know why, but this time I only brought one book. I'm almost finished it though. Luckily, I have some ebooks on my phone if I do finish it. 

I'm starting to regret that I didn't bring more books here. But we're only staying for a few more days, so I'm sure I'll survive.

I probably read and write so much here because I don't have fast Internet or anything else that I have at home. So reading and writing keep me busy. And I do enjoy doing both. 

Anyway, in other news, I've been filming stuff for a theme week my channel is doing. I'm excited for the theme, but I have a feeling that making my video is going to be hard. I just hope that it will also be fun. I remember being worried that the music video I made for the channel would take so much time. But that video was probably my favourite one to make. I hope it's the same with this video. 

I think this is enough for today's post. Have I rambled on about nothing? Yes. Then I'm done. XP 

Have a great Good Friday or normal Friday everyone!


 

Forgetfulness

I'm in Ras Sedr now. It's about 8:30pm, and to be honest, I had completely forgotten that I had to write a blog post today. Thank goodness I remembered now. I bet that if I ever miss a day, it won't be because I'm busy, but because I'm a feather-head.

So today is the day before Good Friday. I never got why it's called Good Friday, even though it's been explained to me many times. I guess I've just forgotten why. Or maybe it's just a confusing name for the day Jesus died.

I have a selective memory. I have a good memory when it comes to birthdays - but that's probably because I'm interested in horoscopes. Now that I think about it, birthdays and just important dates are the only thing I'm good at remembering.

I was wondering the other day if forgetfulness is due to carelessness or if it just have to do with how our brains work. When I was younger and I would forget what I wanted to say people would tell me, "Don't worry if it's something important then you'll remember it." But is that true? If it is then forgetfulness is carelessness, because the things we don't care about or that we find unimportant, we forget.

I don't know. I find this topic quite interesting, what do you guys think?

Well, I've got to go now. And writing blogs on my iPhone is hard!

The Beach

Exams are done and I'm traveling tomorrow. I won't have internet, guitars or xbox for a few days, but I think I'll survive. I just plan on cramming as much internet usage and xbox and guitar playing today. But I also have to write my blog!

I'd also like to say that I'm still not sure what I think about multiple choice, but I've come up with a conclusion on the worst kind of questions: the fill in blanks. I mean, they're okay if they're elementary school style where they give you the words you need to put in the blank, but when you have to come up with the words then that's just not fun. I thought I'd just say that, but that's all for exam talk in this post.

Who likes the beach? I like walking on the beach, and sitting on the beach - not for long though cause I don't like getting a tan - but I really don't like swimming in the sea and stuff. Don't get me wrong, I love to swim. But the idea of swimming with fish and god knows what around me freaks the hell out of me. So unless the sea water is clear and I can see to the bottom of the sea, then I'll stick with the pool, thank you very much. Or if the weather is just too hot and I need to cool down. Then I guess I'd consider the sea.

I love the sand though. And I love to walk in the water when it's like ankle-deep, or even like toe-deep, just so my feet get wet. And I love to sit on the sand and look at the sea.

But do you know what I like more? Sitting at home, reading a book, or with my laptop. Now that's paradise. ;)

Dear Randa,

I don’t really know how to tell you this but, I’m in love with your cat. I think I realised it when your dwarf bit me outside of your office and I saw you sit on the elephant in the corner. I’m sure you’re high enough to understand that your driving sucks. I’m returning the couch cushions to you, but I’ll keep your collection of butterflies as a memory. You should also know that I told in my confession today about the moose poaching and you should stop picking our nose.

Greetings to your frog Leonard,

Exams

I'm back to writing using my laptop, so I'm pretty excited about this blog. And now I've just gotten you all excited and whatever I write now will be a disappointment. How will I ever make this exciting enough for you!

I don't actually have a planned topic so I'm just going to talk about whatever comes to mind.

We have exams this week. I actually like it when we have exams because I get to come home early and we have no regular school lessons. And, I'm not the kind of person who spends a whole lot of time studying, so I end up having lots of free time. I do study. But I know what I'm taking pretty well most of the time, so I don't overdo the studying, unless I feel I need to.

What's odd is that what most people think are the hard exams are actually the easiest for me and vice versa. For example, most of my classmates will tell you that the math is the hardest, but to me it's probably the easiest. As long as I know the rules, then I'm set. On the other hand, most of them think that the French exam is the easiest, but it's not. After the exam though, everyone says it's hard. I mean, it's not 'impossible' hard, it's just tricky because it's in a different language and all.

And I was thinking about it, but I can't decide whether I like multiple choice questions or not. See the thing with multiple choice is if you don't know the answer then it's just a guessing game. But in open ended questions, you can sort of go on and explain the answer in detail - or something that could be the answer if you're not sure - and you might get it right. I don't think I explained myself there very well. Here's an example:
Okay, so let's say the questions is: When did WWI start? If you had no clue, and it was multiple choice you'd have to just guess. But if it was an open ended question you could say something like: 'It started after so and so happened etc...' And you might get it right.

Do you see my point?

On the other hand, if you know your stuff, multiple choice is the best. :)

Have I really gone on only about exams? And I thought that this was going to be interesting. Haha.

Before I go, I'd just like to mention that I'll be traveling for a bit over the weekend, and I don't know what the internet will be like. I'm determined to write a post everyday though. So, I'll try to find internet or, worse case scenario, I'll use the 3G on my phone. But I will write here everyday! Don't you think otherwise.
I'm just warning you though in case the blogs are extra short and uninteresting during the weekend.

Also, you could wish me good luck. You know, if you want. You don't have too... ;)

BYE!

Mondays are not fun most of the time

Again, this will be extra short. And I feel really bad about these crappy posts that I've been posting recently, but hopefully they will become better. Now I have a headache and I want to sleep. So that's what I'll do. But tomorrow I'm coming home early so I'll have plenty of time to write a proper blog post that's more than one or two paragraphs long.
Thanks to you guys who wished me good luck yesterday. Anyway, I really really gotta go now!
Peace, Love and Potter!

P.S. RIP Rosie. Even though I never saw you, I'm sure you were a beautiful and good fish.

Mum's Birthday

I have no time to write this. So it'll be definitely the shortest post yet. Basically it's my mum's birthday today, and I was busy the whole day. And now, I need to sleep because I have exams tomorrow. So, I'm writing this quickly from my iPhone. Anyway, wish me good luck for tomorrow. Or not. Anything is cool.
I'll write a proper blogpost tomorrow!
Bye!

Shopping

Did I mention that I don't like shopping. Well, I don't. And that's basically all I did today. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating, but I did shop for quite a bit. But, honestly, today it wasn't that bad because we were only shopping for a few things and we knew what they were, so it was okay. But, I do hate shopping.

Maybe I hate shopping because I'm not such a big fan of walking, and shopping is all about walking to look at things you may, but probably won't, buy. I feel like shopping should be quick. And I really don't see the point of window shopping. And the phrase 'window shopping' doesn't even make sense. If you don't actually intend to buy anything, then you're not shopping. So it should be called 'the act of looking at windows' or 'looking at items but not spending any money'. Hmm, okay, so maybe those names are a bit long, but still.

Anyway, it's almost midnight which is when this needs to be up. So to sum this post: Shopping is much better when done online. And, um, window shopping is a bad name for window shopping.
That is all.

Little One and Sous

Charlie still doesn't move much. At all. Like he swims a bit sometimes, but that's very rare. And when he does, we all rush to look at him. Don't worry though: I won't talk much about him today, because he's all I talked about yesterday. Instead I'll talk about Leo and Sasha, my other pets.

Leo (Little One) is a seven year dog (Pomeranian/ Papillion). I was only 8 when we got him, and I hate to take all the credit (not really) but I was the one who came up with the name. Leo is a strange dog though. He'll growl at you one second, and then the next, try to lick your face. He also loves it when we sing. His favourite song that I sing is 'Superman Socks' by NicePeter. He loves that song.

Leo is completely adorable. Unless you're sitting next to him in a car, because then you have to be completely still if you don't want to get growled at.

Sasha is a two year old Lab. She's so sweet and tolerant. Honestly, you could do anything and she wouldn't get mad. Her problem is that, being a lab, she loves to eat. So, if we have any kind of food in a place where she can reach it, then she'll steal it. And she's really sneaky while doing so.

Also, Sous is a bit of a scardy-cat. It's odd because she's the big one and she gets scared so easily, while Leo hardly ever gets scared. Leo only really gets scared of getting stepped.*

And I'm pretty sure everyone reading this knows all this about Leo and Sasha, but I just felt about writing about them today. I love them to pieces even when they don't stop barking for hours and annoy the hell out of me.

Hope you've all had a wonderful Friday.

My New Turtle

Hello!

Today, my class went to a botanic garden. Apparently, at this time of the year, though, the garden has like areas where you can buy plants, so there were many lovely displays with colourful flowers and stuff. At least, that's what I think my teacher said. Maybe that's the case all year long. But anyway, while we were walking we saw a stand where a man was selling fish and turtles.*

So I bought a turtle.

So that was fun. But, I'm a bit worried about him, because he's well slow. I know turtles are slow, but I mean, everyone else's turtle was moving about and mine was just still. And no, he's not dead. He's moving now. But it turns out the man didn't put enough water in the bag that he put the turtle in. So he became dehydrated, and I think it made his eyes swell...:(

But we put him in a tank-like thing and he's doing better. His eyes still are weird, but he opened them and we saw that they're okay.

He's a red eared slider, according to our research.** So even though he's pretty tiny now, he'll grow to be big. Well, relatively big. Also, he might grow to bite.

Anyway, there were so many points when I thought he was going to die today, because he was acting weird, but now he seems okay. So that's good.

Also, we named him Charlie. I thought this was a good idea for a few reasons:
a) My friends Randa and Sherry helped me think of it.
b) There is a Charlie in Fringe.
c) There is a Charlie in Lost.
d) There are plenty of cool Charlie's on YouTube.
e) And Charlie is a pretty cool name.

So that just wraps up all I've got to say today. I was going to include a picture of him, but I haven't taken any good ones yet. I will though!
Bye!


"Hey Molly, can we go to the dance and if you don't want to, then I'll understand, but if you like me then come take my hand and if you love me, then I'll never play Halo again," - Mike Lombardo

* I would just like to mention that I didn't like the way the man was handling the fish and turtles and that played a part in me buying one. So act cruel to animals you want to sell to make people want to take them away from you and give you money in exchange. Just kidding. Don't do that. Ever. Please.

** By 'our research' I mean my mum and brother's. I only researched a bit at the beginning when I thought he was going to die, to see how to help him. Once it became clear that he was going to be okay, I left the research up to them. But hey, I think they like to research stuff, so it's all cool. I think.

Everyone Has A Story

I'm writing today relatively early. Normally, I write after 7, but it's only 4:40pm now, so I'm pretty impressed with myself. Also, I plan to make this interesting. Only problem isn't I don't know what to write about. But I'll think about something to write in the next few seconds.

Anyway, this is kind of odd, but while in the car with my mum today she mentioned something about how it would be interesting to know what everyone was thinking. Then we started talking about how many people we saw each day. And, maybe it has to do with living in a place that has a big population, but I don't think it would be a small number. Even if I excluded the people that I see everyday, like at school and my family, I would still see a large amount of people in cars and on the streets.  

This is odd because recently I've been thinking about what random people's days are like. I mean, you can make an extravagant story about someone you see on the street and why they're on that particular street and where they're going. And even though that story is probably not true, for all you know, it could be.

In all our lives, we meet very few people out of all the people in world. But that, obviously, doesn't mean that the people we don't meet don't have stories. Everyone has a story. And I guess that these are all facts that we know. But just think about all the stories. It's kind of amazing.

And the thing is, people are very interesting. They way we react to things and how we act with other people and everything else we do. If you're ever bored and there are people around you, just watch them; it can be very amusing.* Or maybe you shouldn't if you don't want to seem like a creeper. :P

Remember a few paragraphs ago when I said I'd make this interesting? I don't think I've done that. And I guess I could just 'backspace' all this and write about something else, but I won't.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, I'm feeling better now. :)

BYE!
