after a while, it gets... not good

   I'd like to start off by saying I was extremely tired and not in a good state of mind last week when I posted, and that is why I suggested the fall/autumn theme idea. When I woke up the next morning and reread my post, I face-palmed. Not my brightest idea. Forgive me? Anyway, as a reminder to the horrible timezones that separate us, Kayla and I came up with an idea that may help to remind us. Here is the story:
   On messenger, Kayla showed me clocks that she set up on her computer to show the time in Ireland and New Zealand so that she didn't have to remember it, like I do. But alas, I apparently had the time difference for NZ wrong. So I made the suggestion that we should put clocks, or something of the sort, onto the site, so that we (mainly me) wouldn't mess up the time differences anymore. So we searched and searched, and Kayla ended up finding the beauty that now sits at the bottom of the site. Not only can you look at our time zones, but every other possible Earth time zone you can think of. And there are some strange ones.
  
   Other than that, my week has been pretty tame. I've been on Ning chat a lot, which has been fun, and odd. Sometimes conversation on there can get a little wierd, but I've met some really interesting people there. Awesome Nerdfighters. : )    Also, I got Skype, which was something I didn't think I'd ever do, mostly because I don't have a functioning webcam, but apparently all you need is a microphone. So that has been pretty fun. Kind of awkward, since to anyone who walks in I'm just basically sitting here talking to my computer, but I'll get over it.

   Kayla, I would love to believe that going to the Hallowe'en dance would get me off the hook for prom, but I think my mom has other ideas. I'm starting to get the idea that if I don't literary handcuff myself into my room, I will be forcefully dragged to the dance. *sigh* Besides, you know more than anyone that I don't really like dressing up at Hallowe'en.
   Again Adam, congrats on your test scores! I can't wait to get some real news on your school, though I have a feeling it'll be good. I've been listening to a lot of Trock lately, but I haven't really heard much about the Bad Wolf episode, or about Bad Wolf in general. It was one of my favourite themes with Rose. All of the warnings, and yet the tragic end still happened. Thank god for Bad Wolf Bay. That had to be the saddest scene ever.
   Welcome back Katie's computer! It's great to fully hear from you again. I also am a big fan of Evan, though I don't really watch much Youtube anymore. Also, I haven't seen any of his liveshows lately, which sucks, 'cause I really want to hear his new music. I absolutely love The Limit as X Approaches Girlfriend. Mostly because I kind of understand most of it. Also, my favourite charity is the This Star Won't Go Out foundation, mostly because I loved watching Esther so much, and it was horrible when she passed a year ago.
   Kate, I love that you count down the days of school. I do that, but more toward the end of school, since it's easier. Though I don't know how that's going to go at the end of this year, seeing as it will be my final year of high school. I'm both excited for it to be over, and sad that it has come so quickly. It seems like it was just yesterday I was sitting down in my first ever high school class (which was art) and making friends that have lasted through these years.
   Kira, I know what you mean about homework. I also have been in all the advanced level courses in my high school, and with my procrastination, work tends to pile up until I am just ready to scream.
   I do feel sorry that you don't get snow too often, Campion. Snow is my favourite part of our winters, as it makes the world so much cleaner and quieter. That is, until snowplows ruin everything.

   Anywho, I don't really have anything else to write about. The title of this post is completely unrelated to anything in it. It was just something that happened. So don't forget to be awesome, and have a good week!

Harry Potter, Trock and More Great Things

My thoughts on Harry Potter, for those who want to read them, are here. SPOILERS!... Yeah, so I decided it'd be fun to start my own personal blog so you can check that out if you want.  I really do think that you have to have read the books to be really attached to the plot and the characters.  When I was younger, like 7ish, the movies used to scare me.  I did finally start reading the books when I was in 5th grade and I finished the 6th in 6th grade.
Then I had to wait for the last book to come out... and I'm not good at waiting.

Deidra... I like all of the songs on Still Got Legs and it is soo hard to choose which I like best.  Though I would have to say Nightmares and Kiss the Girl stick out to me the most.  I love Liam's voice (all of their voices are good).
Adam, I can't wait to hear your songs and How I Met Your Mother is one of my favorite tv shows.  I'm not sure which bands aren't well known internationally, but Rascal Flatts is the best country band, I think.  There's also this singer that I like, Clueso, but he's from Germany.  My friend, who was a foreign exchange student last year, showed us a music video in class.  I can't understand German but I look up the translation of the songs and it just makes them more great.

Today my father and I went to this craft store and started to look in the scrap-booking section and that got me really wanting to make a scrapbook.  I was wondering if you guys have ever made a scrapbook.  That will be my question...

In more Doctor Who related stuff, I have made it to the 11th episode of the Season 1.  Since I can only watch it when I'm at my mom's, it'll probably take me a long time to catch up, and that's a bummer.  My favorite quote of the series so far is "Just this once, everybody lives" which Charlie also says on "Travelling Man."

Excitement and things

Hello, and welcome to a two part blog post.

Part One: Excitement.

My sister's back from her trip to Australia! That's about it...

Part Two: Things.

I got Royal Mail the other day, it was strange because I forgot why. Then I remembered I order A Midsummer's Night Dream off Alibris, and that it was coming from the UK. It came with a bookmark that had the Morse Code Alphabet. Also, something that just happened, I ate a Mars Bar. We don't have them in the states, so my sister brought two back from Australia, that and Tim-Tams I think is what its called. Anyway I tried it, not sure I liked it too much. I was expecting it to taste, well different. It was really rich so now I feel a bit sick, death by candy. 

Moving on to Trock. I really like Nightmares, Traveling Man, Mr. Pond, Silence and the End of All Things, and Still Not Ginger. If I had to narrow it down it would be Traveling Man. Also, I think its cool you started a Trock band Adam, I can't wait to hear your finished album. Also I'm not sure if I know any musicians that you guys don't know...

Changing topics again to Harry Potter. I'm only on the third book, and have seen up to the fifth movie. Please don't spoil anything so I can enjoy the last book when I get there. So far Harry Potter really means nothing to me. I feel it would have been better if I read them as they were coming out or if I started earlier. I wish I didn't feel that way, but I do and there's not much I could do to fix it. 

I cleaned my room, and I must let you know this was a three day process. It got bad. Anyway I go through the effort of getting ride of stuff I didn't need, use, or want and my sister comes home and makes a mess of it. Just like she didn't appreciate anything I did to make it look nice. I mean you can't tell ALL the work I did because most of was organizing, but still.

I've been writing this throughout the day, I found it easier to remember what to write. SO I guess I'll go.

 Bye!♥

P.S. Some Morse Code:

dah-di-dit 

di-di-dah-dit 

dah 

dah-di-di-dit 

dit-dah 

Can you guess what I said?
