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.

* It is before noon, so it is early.

** 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!

* 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. :)

...

I don't know how to start this. I was planning on starting it with saying that this will, again, be a short post, but I feel like that's how I started it yesterday. Or did I? I can't remember. Anyway: this post will be short.

I'm feeling better today, but I'm still sick. So that's been fun.

Also Mubarak went to hospital. So that's...I don't know. I actually will talk more about this later, but now I'm too lazy, being sick and all. And also, I haven't really thought much about it.

I'm watching ShayTards now. I just thought I'd share that with you because you all probably really care about what I'm watching.

So, that's all folks! And I won't even write lyrics today...So yeah!

Bye! x

Short Post That I Suggest You Skip :)

This will be quite short, because I'm feeling worse today and *gasp* I don't feel like using my laptop much.

I didn't go to school today, and towards the end of the day I realised that I had a high fever, so I probably won't be going to school tomorrow. The fact that I'm missing so much school sucks, because this is the week before exams and so we're mainly reviewing what we took, and taking any last minute things, which I need to know for the exams. But oh, well.

In other news...okay, I really don't have any other news. So, I'll talk to you all tomorrow!

Also, my friend wanted me to talk about a phone conversation we had? I don't know what to say. I was tired at the time and not completely with her. But the call was fantastic! ;)

I'm Sorta Sick. Kind of.

Hey! What up?

So, I'm currently upstairs on my roof, on the exercise machine, watching my brother kill aliens on Halo, loading a YouTube video, loading a Fringe episode, chatting on Skype, and writing this. I should receive an award for multi-tasking. Or not. Anyway, I won't be really focused while I write this, so I apologise if things come out weird. And, no, it's not because I am doing all these things; it's because I'm a little sick. Not too sick though, just a little.

I would just like to say something regarding my last post: I was not trying to advocate being careless in your work. That's not what I meant. Reading it over again, I realised that you might think that that was my message, but I assure you it's not. You should always do your best in your work. But doing your best doesn't necessarily mean putting all your effort into it. Does that make sense? If not, well, too bad, because I won't be able to explain it better at the moment. Write in the comments if you still don't understand what I mean - that's assuming you didn't understand before - and I'll try to explain better tomorrow.

You know what I love? That little med-kit with the red H in Halo.

Remember how I was saying I wasn't sure that I'd like Fringe that much? Well, I just thought I'd tell you that I'm really getting into it! I'd even recommend it to you all! Unless you get queasy at the sight of blood and stuff like that. In that case, I'd recommend you watch, uhm, FireFly. Yes, Firefly doesn't have have as much blood and it's still epic.

I think I'll end this here. Sorry I haven't been able to stick to one topic, but then again, am I ever able to that? No, didn't think so!

Bye!

Procrastinating and Other Things

I have a few ideas for blog posts, but I don't really have much time to write today. So I think I'll probably make this really short and sweet. 

You know what I'm good at? I'm good at procrastinating. I always wait till the last minute to do things. Even if I have plenty of time to do those things, I always say, "Well, I'll have time tomorrow as well...". And even as I'm thinking that, I know that I should just do it at that moment, because I have no idea how 'tomorrow' will be like. But I end up not doing it anyway. 

But I think this is human nature. Or at least, teenage nature. XP

The reason I'm talking about this today is I've had quite a bit of home work that was given to me on Tuesday, and I decided that I wouldn't do any of it - or at least the majority of it - till today. And it's due tomorrow. So today, I ended up spending a lot of time doing my home work and wondering if I'd have time to do anything else. 

And the odd thing is, I always put the things I want to do over my home work. (But, then again, doesn't everyone?) Like today, I still managed to rush my home work so I could watch Fringe and go on YouTube. And I studied for a test while waiting for Halo to load. 

Oddly enough, people always think that I put a lot of effort into my work. But I hardly ever do. I mean, I put effort, but not a lot. And I think that sometimes it's not necessary to put a lot. Like school for example.* You should put enough effort so that your work turns out good and that you get a good grade. But you don't need to work all day and put extra effort into something where you'd get the same grade if you'd only spent five minutes on it. Why waste the time, right?

But that's just my opinion. And, uhm, you should work and pay attention in school. And stay in it...

Talk to you tomorrow!

A Regular Friday

So today I woke up, at around 10 something, and got ready. I'm always in the habit of getting ready as soon as I wake up even on the weekends and even if I know I'm not going to leave my house. I just don't really like hanging out in my pajamas. Yes, I know I'm weird.

Then I had my breakfast - well, I don't know if you'd consider two chocolate bars 'breakfast', but it's food. Now, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, 'Chocolate for breakfast? What kind of breakfast is that? How is that healthy!?' Calm down, reader. I don't normally have chocolate for breakfast; I normally have a healthy cheese sandwich with tea.* But come on, it's the weekend. I get to have a treat. :P

Then at around 1pm - actually I forgot what time it was but for the sake of writing a time, let's go with 1 - my family and I went to my grandparent's house. Every Friday, my family and my uncle and his family, go to my maternal grandparents for lunch. I like this tradition because I get to see my family - which includes my one and only cousin who is just adorable - every week.

We stayed there until 7:30, and then came home to watch Inception. I've watched Inception before, but I was the only one of my family who had. For the record, I think it's a pretty awesome movie. But it is complicated, and after the movie I had to explain some bits about what happened in the movie to my family.**

 And now I'm here.

So it turns out my weekends aren't a lot more exciting than my weekdays. Actually, now that I think about it, my weekends - like my weekdays - are pretty uniform. In fact, what I did today pretty much happens ever Friday, unless I go out with my friends.

I'm sorry Rebecca that I don't 'get down' on Fridays...

BYE!

* Now some of you (Randa) might think I'm not telling you the truth. I am. I don't always have chocolate for breakfast. Or muffins.

**Basically it was about a dream, in a dream, in a dream. So three dreams plus one Limbo thingy and one reality. I bet you understand the movie completely now. You're welcome.

And I think people have stopped singing 'Friday' and referencing 'Friday' on Friday, right?

No Topic

Okay, so remember how yesterday I said that this would be a sport-themed blog post? Well, turns out that won't be the case. See today, of all days, I slept in. And I didn't go to school. So that was fun. Not. See, normally I would be cool with not going to school, but I've been kind of looking forward to going today since it was sports day (like I mentioned yesterday) and this year I was on the same team as my friends. So I spent the greater part of my day being upset that I slept in. I'm over it now, though. Kind of.

Anyway, so my day was pretty average.

Off topic, but Sous* (a.k.a Sasha, my Lab) just jumped on the couch and there wasn't much space for her. But she came up anyway and slept in the most awkward position...for me. I mean, she almost sat on my laptop. She just jumped off, though, because she heard the word 'food' and now she's sleeping on her mat. But she's just so cute, that I had to share that.

Again, off topic - wait what exactly is the topic anyway? Not sure, but anyway, the traffic today was horrible. We, my mum, siblings and dogs, were going to my grandparents' house today at around 12ish, and it took us 2 hours to get there...when it normally takes us half an hour, and sometimes even less time. And 12 is an odd hour for it to be crowded, because nobody is going to work, or school, or going back home. But I guess Thursdays are crowded no matter what time of day.

So, tomorrow, I'm thinking of writing about my day. I haven't done that yet, and I think it would be cool. Plus Friday is normally an exciting day or at least more exciting than week-days. Nice blogging, as usual. XP
Bye!

Sports?

I can't believe that I'm not bored of writing this yet. I mean, I normally stick to things I say I'll do, but that doesn't mean that I don't get bored or think of those things as chores. But so far that hasn't happened with writing a blog. Maybe it's because I really enjoy writing. Or maybe it's because I haven't gotten a lot of home work this week, so I have time to write.

Tomorrow's sport's day at my school. This is the second year that we've had a sport's day because my school is relatively new and small. Anyway, last year we had it in May or June and the weather was so hot. And there wasn't enough water. I think someone even fainted because of the heat. So this year, they've made it earlier, which is a good idea.

Last year I was on the Blue Team and we came in third place...out of four teams. But, actually, I was surprised, because I definitely thought we'd come out in last place: we had a really bad team.
This year, I'm also on the Blue Team, but I think we have better chance this time. I still doubt we'll come in first place, though. Maybe second place, if we're really lucky.

I'm lucky that both years I've been on the Blue Team, because I love the colour blue, and fifty percent of my t-shirts are blue. So, I don't have any problem with what to wear. XP

I haven't actually signed up to do many sports, because most of the events are running, and as I think I've mentioned before, I'm not much of a runner. But I signed up for soccer (or football :P) even though I'm quite bad at it. I'm quite bad at most sports, but I love them anyway.

I think I'll end this here, because I have to go eat dinner. Be prepared for another sport-themed blog tomorrow, because unless nothing fun happens tomorrow, I'll talk about sport's day. Actually even if nothing fun happens, I'll probably still talk about sport's day and say how bad it was...
Until tomorrow!

No More Buffy :(

Hey! How are you doing today?

So I finished Buffy. I don't even know what to think since I just finished it like half an hour ago. And I also don't want to write about it in case any of you (*wink wink* Randa)* plan on watching it, cause then I'd be spoiling it for you! And we wouldn't want that to happen. But, I'm going to miss it. ;(

So, now though, I'm thinking of watching Fringe. I've watched only a few episodes, and I haven't really fallen in love with it yet. But I remember that I when I first started watching Buffy I wasn't that into it either. So, I'm sure I just need time. And maybe by the end of April I will love Fringe as much as I love Buffy.

I also want to watch Glee, because recently everyone has been talking about it. Even more than they did before. And I've watched half of Season 1 (or more), I think. And it's not my favourite show, but most of my friends like it and since they won't watch any of the shows I like.....(*wink wink* Randa)

I'm so behind on YouTube videos. I have like a hundred videos in my subscription box and because of VEDA they just keep on increasing. And I can't seem to find the time to watch them all. Even though I have plenty of time, if you think about it...(which you wouldn't because you have no idea how much free time I do or don't have.)

This is basically my life. Or, rather, my lack of one.

I'm thinking of ending each blog post with a line from a song, because I always have songs stuck in my head. And if you ask anyone around me you'll know that I'm normally singing those songs to the point where people want to tell me to shut up but don't want to be rude, because they're too nice. Aren't I lucky to be surrounded by such nice people?

I don't know how we got from TV shows to talking about the people I surround myself with. But on that lovely note, I will end this blog post.
Bye!

The Future

I've never really thought much about my future, or the future in general. Normally I just focus on the present. And I never thought much about what I'd study in college or where I'd live when I'm older and all that stuff. Until recently.

If you'd have asked me a year ago what I wanted to study in college, I would have told you that I had no idea. And I was sure that I would not know until a month before I went to college, because there are so many choices and if I choose to study something I end up not liking I would have wasted a part of my life.

Now, though, I do know what I want to study, and I even have an idea as to which college I'll go to. (For the record, I'm in Grade 10.) Isn't it strange how much can change in a year? It is, in a way. But if you think about it, a year is a long time and many things happen in a year. So, actually, it's not that strange at all.

I don't know why I'm talking about this; it's just something I was thinking about earlier today.

I still don't focus much on the future though. Because we'll always be in the present. And do I really need to write that saying about how the present is a gift?And if the world is ending in 2012, then there's no reason to think about the future at all, is there?* ;)

That's all I've got for you today, because I want to play ACB, and guitar now.
See you tomorrow!
<3


*I don't actually believe the world will end in 2012.

(Also, there was a rainbow yesterday! I didn't get to see it, but my grandma did and she even took a picture of it! I don't have the picture though, so I can't show you...But still! Rainbows are awesome!)

I'm A Nerd

Hello :)

So, today's Sunday which means school again. Am I the only one, or is school kind of a waste of time? I mean, sure you learn things, but at the end of the year, I forget almost everything I've learnt. So what's the point?

I kind of feel like this blog post will be all over the place. XP

I'm almost finished Buffy. In fact I have like three episodes of Season 7 left. And I'm going to watch an episode after I post this. I'm excited to find out what happens, but I also don't want it to end. So I'm having mixed emotions at the moment...

I also want to go upstairs and play Assassin's Creed Brotherhood on my xbox* . Or Halo. But my dad is using it now so I can't. And it's not fair cause he was using it all last night too! So, that kind of sucks. Maybe if I go up later and ask him he'll let me play. Hopefully. XP

Okay, so in case you haven't guessed already, I'm a complete nerd.

At the moment I'm not reading anything. Or actually, I am, I just haven't read in a while. I used to read before I sleep, but now for some reason when I get into bed I'm just so exhausted and I don't have the energy to read.** So, that's sad. :(

So far, I'm really enjoying BEDA. And I'm enjoying blogging. After April I think I'll start blogging more. Or not. I always say I'll do things and then I don't. Like there was this time that I decided that I would go running everyday. And I was really excited about doing it too. I only ended up doing it like two days. Turns out running isn't exactly my thing. And it takes away precious time that could be spent reading fanfiction, or watching videos on youtube.

Also, I'd just like to say that it's raining! I love the rain? Don't you? I like the sun too, though. Isn't it the best when it's raining and the sun's out? And then there's a rainbow and if we're really lucky even a double rainbow! =) Alas, the chances of the sun coming out now is impossible since it's 7:40pm and the sun has been long gone. So I'll have to make do with the fact that there will be no rainbow, or double rainbow...
So, I've got to go do homework if I plan to play with the xbox and watch Buffy. But it's been nice writing.
See you all tomorrow!


*Well it's not my  xbox, cause it also belongs to the rest of my family. And since my brother is the one who bought it it's technically his...xP

** Yes, I'm aware that reading doesn't take up much energy. But if you're sleepy reading just isn't that enjoyable because you won't concentrate on the book, right?

Writing

I like to write. I mean, I guess that's sort of a given, since I'm doing BEDA, but I thought I'd tell you all that nonetheless. To me, writing is a great way to express my feelings and to clear my head. And it doesn't matter if no one but me is ever going to read what I write, as long as I write. But I tend to be on the shy side, and I tend to not show people what I write. That's why I've never written a blog before, and why I don't like writing in school. So, in a way, this blog is a way for me to overcome my being shy of people reading my work.
I feel like ever single sentence that I write needs to be perfect. But that isn't true. In a blog, does your every word need to be perfect? No. In a novel, or a story, it's different. But this is just a blog. And I should be able to write whatever I want and not care what other's think of it and if it's the most interesting thing in the world or not. So, that's what I'm going to do; I'm going to try to write what's in my head and pretend that no one but me will ever read this, so that I'm less self-conscious and more honest.
That means that I'm not going to apologise for this being boring, because if you find it boring (which is a possibility), then you shouldn't be here reading it. And I won't thank you for reading this - even though I want to ;) - because it's not something I'm asking you to do, but something you're doing because you want to. And is this making sense? Maybe not. I don't make sense a lot of the time (just ask my friends) XP.
Saying that, I do really appreciate anyone who reads this. =)
So, to summarise, I like to write and that's what I'm going to do here. Everyday of April, because April starts with an A. =P
I hope you've all had a lovely, relaxing Saturday.
<3

BEDA?

So as you can see, this is my first blog post. And it's not only my first blog post on this site, it's my first blog post ever. So, to the few people who will ever read this, sorry if it sucks.
The reason I'm blogging is I've decided that I will participate in BEDA (Blog Every Day in April). Or at least I will try too. I have a feeling that I won't be able to blog everyday, but I'm sure going to try.
Maybe I should introduce myself? Or not. I'm guessing if you're reading this you know who I am. Maybe. Or not. Anyway, honestly I can't really be bothered to introduce myself now. Maybe some other day in April...
But I will tell you this: I love to read. And I love Harry Potter. I'm a member of the HPA (Harry Potter Alliance) and I'm even on a collab channel that was formed based on the HPA and HP. So, that's something about me that you might not have known but you probably did.
I'm also - and this is what my friends tell me at least - addicted to YouTube. I'm on YT all the time and I'm subscribed to quite a few awesome people. But can you blame me for loving YT when most people on it are awesome? Didn't think so.
Well, I think I'll end this here, because I don't have much to write today. Hopefully tomorrow my post will be longer. Thank you if you've managed to get to the end of this and weren't completely bored.
:)

Also, I'd just like to say that my friends are awesome.
