For a Moment I Ruled the World

     It's a little late, but I have a very legitimate reason. I was playing Monopoly with my older sister and brother in law. It took about two and a half hours, but I finally overtook them. Bankrupted them both, owned every single property, had over $5000 and many buildings on the board. It was really fun.

     In other news, I won't be going back to school tomorrow, as was my original plan. My sister, niece, and brother in law decided to come down to visit for the last few days of the break, so I will drive back up with them on Sunday. A lot later than I wanted to, but I get to spend time with them. So a win-lose situation, but whatever. As long as I get to go and buy my new fish tank and fish.

     Kate, I am so jealous of your Doctor Who hoodie (that work looks so wrong). Don't feel bad about not having seen The Hobbit yet. I have not seen it yet either, but am really hoping to see it in the next few weeks once I am back in Thunder Bay. Hopefully it remains in theatres long enough. If not, I will be kind of upset, and crossing my fingers that it will be on DVD rental by the end of February, since I am going to Ottawa to visit Kayla for reading week. I think I would prefer it that way because Kayla and I watched the trilogy together. 

     Adam. you have no idea how insanely jealous I am that you are going to get to see John Green. I wish he didn't have so many problems with Canada. It makes me very mad that he does. Sorry to hear about you being sick for your exams. That is one of the worst things ever. 

     I don't really make New Year's Resolutions any more. I realized that by making them so specifically for the New Year, I am mentally setting myself up for failure. Instead, I will just continue with the good habits I have apparently formed over the past few months. I have been eating a lot healthier and actually getting in real exercise each week (minus this Christmas break; being home doesn't agree with those habits). My procrastination issue will always need work, but in the last few weeks of the term I was doing exceptionally well with it. And I have been putting myself out there, especially with open mic nights, so boosting my confidence is going well. So, I guess my resolution is to just continue being awesome.

     I can't wait to get back into the groove of a new year and a new school term. It will help with my sleep schedule, boredom, and ability to post on time. Just a few more days. Sometimes I think I'm insane for wanting school, but then I remind myself that I want to be a teacher. Anyway, hope you have all had amazing breaks, are all ready for the 'dreaded' return, and are continuing to be awesome.

Happy New Year!

So hello there it's 2012 and I actually managed to stay up! It's never anything special, but its nice to say I did I guess. I think it's because I could never make it as a small child. Either way. So how was the new years count down for you? Do you do it? Anything planed for the day or just a lazy I-don't-want-to-go-back-to-school thing? That's more me, because I might have school Monday and I'm not looking forward to it.

I do on occasion make a resolution or two, but this year I might have a few. 

1. Learn Ukulele

2. Actually try an make some kind of peace with my demon of a teacher

3. Find out my grades for the end of my trimester. Seriously it's not funny anymore.

4. Smile more

5. and to just be more positive. I always feel too negative.

Wow I made a list, neat! The first one is a big one, since I failed so much at the guitar. I recently acquired a ukulele this past Thursday. I now know c,e,d,f,g major, a, e minor (i think), c7, and the intro to Candy Floss by Alex. Which is nice. I'm quite proud of myself and hope to continue throughout the next year.

I want to make 'procrastinate less' a resolution, but it won't work. Thanks for the review on Tin Tin, I was considering it, and if I can I'll try and see it with some friends. Instead of Tin Tin, I saw Sherlock Holmes two on Friday. I have to say it was amazing. I never like sequels but this was just absolutely awesome. Defiantly a must see if you want to laugh. The ending is just B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L! What I liked the best was that I saw it with friends that I hadn't seen since we went to different schools. It was just so nice seeing them, we had a great time.

I thinks it's great that you disagree with me Deidra. I feel she isn't as badass as Rory though. Like he punched Hitler in the face, died and became a Roman, and I just don't see Amy as important to The Doctor. I really just want to see him change and deal without them. I liked her in the beginning, but I feel her time is almost up as a character.

...

Now I've just rested, and I need to see if I swore at all. I curse a lot when I'm tired apparently. Nope we're good! I don't really have any plans today seeing as it's new years day and it's a Sunday so everything is closed. Which means I wait yet another week to get my haircut. All because my sister just can't sit still long enough to do something I want. Anyways...It's going to be a pretty boring day so I think I'll go with that. Happy new year, may it be full of awesome-y goodness! Dftba and,

Bye!♥

BRB, going to eat more cake

So I decided to write my post a tad earlier than usual for no particular reason other than I'm kind of bored right now. I don't know when I'll be posting it though because the Doctor Who Christmas Special is loading on my computer right now so this might be posted after I've watched that.

Hope everyone's holidays are going well. Mines been very nice and relaxing. I've pretty much just been visiting with family and playing a lot of loz: Skyward Sword. I'm trying to beat the game before my sister leaves for Ottawa and takes it with her, which is in like 3 days or something so I have to hurry.

Other than that, I did go skating with my family yesterday. We go every year at this time because Tim Horton's hosts free public skating days at the arena all this week. I also did a bit of shopping, but not that much because I'm trying to save up my money for a little trip at the end of the school year. All I ended up buying was sweaters though, I swear I must have an addiction to sweaters or something, I never seem to have enough of them.

It was my mom's birthday yesterday so we went out for chinese food and then came home to watch The Blindside. My sister baked an awesome red velvet cake and I decorated it using this thing I got for christmas. It looked pretty awesome if I do say so myself, and it tasted even better.

An it's almost the new year, so Happy New Year everyone! Do you guys make New Year's resolutions? I don't usually make New Year's resolutions because I never seem to be able to keep them, but I might this year. Probably something like studying more for school, or maybe drawing or reading more since I've been kind of slacking off with those this year.

Kate, don't worry, I've put off doing all my homework until the week before school starts up again on the 9th. Campion, I was thinking of seeing the Tin Tin movie eventually, but probably not for a while since it's not on the top of my movies-I-want-to-see list. Good review though, makes me want to know what the crane fight scene is all about.

DFTBA

PS - Just finished watching the special, it was very good. Makes me eager for more episodes. As for the Doctor/Amy thing I like all the companions in their own way, but I'm looking forward to see who the next one's going to be.
