I am so terribly exhausted. I stayed up late last night watching a movie and on Skype, and then I had to wake up at 8 to come into the city for a driving lesson. On top of that, I had the worse sleep ever. I woke up 4 or 5 times between 2:30am and 7:55am. And of course, there had to be a messed up dream thrown into the mix. I dreamt that I woke up, and had 30 minutes to pack my away bag (since I'm staying in Thunder Bay for a few days), get ready to go, and somehow take a shower. It was weird. And now I feel like I could pass out and be perfectly okay with that decision.
I can not, however, do this since I am staying with Kayla for two days, and that would be rude. And lame. We went and watch The Dark Knight Rises together, and it was a-fricken-mazing. No spoilers, but wow what a good film. I'm not even that big of a fan of the whole Batman thing, but I really enjoyed it. Also, it was awesome spotting some actors that I know from other places. Burn Gorman, who I know as Owen Harper from Torchwood. Joseph Gordon-Levitt, from Inception which I happened to watch last night. And Reggie Lee, who plays Sgt. Wu in Grimm. 10 points to me for recognizing people!
Not much to report. It's been kind of a boring week for me. I ended up getting a bit of a sunburn on my back and shoulders from laying out in the sun reading one day. I've spent a little bit of time working on my painting, which still isn't done. /sigh/ On the bright side, I only have two more driving lessons to do (tomorrow and next Tuesday) and then I am FREE. Oh how sweet my freedom will taste.
I just really don't feel like much today. Hopefully I won't feel as drained next week. Boring Deidra is boring. Well, tired Deidra is tired. Anywho, don't forget to be awesome, and have a good weekend, as per usual.

Can't Stop Thinking of the Musical
Sorry I didn't post last week. I got home pretty late and was too tired to post. The Musical last week went amazingly. There were many funny and cute moments. I'm afraid I won't be able to actually watch the play unless the did film it and they gave me a copy.
I loved the overall experience. The songs were a lot of fun to play and the people in the cast and in the orchestra were all fantastic. When I headed to the orchestra pit with my violin before the musical on Saturday, I noticed each of us had a first-place, blue ribbon on our stands that said "State Fair - FHS 2012." Next to the ribbons were envelopes with each of our names on it. I opened up the envelope addressed to me to find a thank you note from teacher in charge of the musical - a teacher I've looked up to since my brother was in his choir - and $100 worth of giftcards. I was so shocked and amazed... and really grateful for everything.
I've never really emailed any of my teachers before, Katie. On The Catcher in the Rye... I didn't enjoy it. It just seemed dull, especially in the middle and towards the end. I don't often enjoy books that are like that though. We had to read it for class, which tends to make books seem more boring to me than they actually are.
Kira, I used to get migraines a lot, especially before I got glasses. I rarely get them now with contacts.
Kayla, I'm glad you enjoyed Fiddler on the Roof, that's one of my favorite musicals. I love Tradition and the song To Life. Fiddler was the musical my school chose 4 years ago when my brother was in high school. He was one of the bottle dancers. Did they have the bottle dancers when you saw it?
Because of the musical and track and everything, I've been getting to sleep late. I'm working to change that, so I'll be heading to bed shortly.
DFTBA

Lord of the - I Don't Know
This is probably going be a short post, because I am super tired and have to get up super early tomorrow. I have been staying up kind of late every night this week, which has been fun but also detrimental to my day life. I am staying at Kayla's tonight as we have to leave early in the morning for a school trip. My tiredness was not very helpful when we decided to watch the first Lord of the Rings movie, either. It was good, but I spent a good deal of time trying not to fall asleep (which I ended up doing a few times). I think I get the gist of the movie, so now everyone can get off my back about it. Now just to watch the next two. -_-
I never really answered my own question last week, as I wanted to hear your opinions. I was caught between the chameleonism and wings. I have always liked the idea of being able to fly, but after thinking about it for a bit I like chameleonism better. It would be an interesting skill to have, especially when trying to be sneaky.
Katie, I don't really have any tricks for staying focused. I am usually quickly drawn into a book, so focusing on it isn't a problem. My advice would just be to find an interesting book that captures you. And if that isn't possible, eliminate all other distractions and set aside time specifically to read.
Adam, I will never understand sports. Rugby looks like a very scary sport, not one that I think I could watch without constantly cringing. I mean, everybody just jumps onto one another; that cannot be safe at all. I hope you are enjoying The Great Gatsby, we read it in school this year and I loved it.
Try not to worry much about the weather, Kate. It could always be worst, trust me. We have about three feet of snow here right now, and it's always blowing around or snowing more. I would give just about anything right now for there to be only 2 inches. Have fun with track, don't wear yourself out.
I hope everyone has had a good week, and that your weekend is even better. Don't forget to be awesome!

Click the smiley for instant laughter!
It's that time of the week in which I regret having to go back to school! Remember Friday? Such a nice time, so good. I got my grades back, FINALLY! I passed, like I thought I would, some classes just barely with a C I add shamefully (holds up history). In my defense I switched into honors half way through the course! Besides that B's and mostly A's to spread around, which is nice.
I'm not a Harry Potter person, I realize after sometime now I just can't nerd-out over it. Confessing that I have no argument to throw into the ring about Ron. Instead I'm going to talk about elephants, just because. So here are ten facts:
1. The elephants can live between 50 and 70 years. The oldest known elephant lived 82 years old.
2. They are the symbol of wisdom in the Asian culture and they are renowned for their great memory and intelligence.
3. The word ‘elephant’ comes from the greek “ἐλέφας” which means ivory.
4. The adults in good condition are said to have no natural predators except the humans which are a real threat to them.
5. Elephants are the biggest land mammals still alive.
6. It takes a female 22 months from conception to have a baby. This is longer than any other animal in the world.
7. The trunk of an elephant has more than 40,000 muscles in it.
8. Elephants love to swim.
9. Females can continue to have offspring until they are about 50 years old. They tend to have a new baby every 2 ½ to 4 years. Twins are extremely rare for elephants.
10. Elephants are known to have a type of tuberculosis which can be transferred to humans. This is why those that work closely with them have to get a vaccination to prevent it.
That was fun. I'm not quite sure why I found researching elephants so fun, but it was. A lot. Maybe I'm just too tired and am easily amused! Seriously though, elephants need more credit. I haven't had a lot of time to play my uke much, and I think I forgot just about everything I knew last week, which is fun. Do you guys listen to NPR? I do on occasion. We had to listen to part of a broadcast in physics on Thursday about how contact lenses will soon have the internet and the same with a chip put in our brains to control the mouse. Something along those lines, but that's not my point. They had Michio Kaku and I own his book Physics of the Impossible. I was wondering what you guys thought about time travel actually existing one day or the contact lenses with internet. Do you think it's plausible? Here's the link to listen to it:
http://www.npr.org/2011/11/29/142717081/physics-of-the-future-how-well-live-in-2100Tell me what you think if you get the time!
This has been long enough so goodnight, dftba andBye!♥

Well the snow is finally here, and I think it's going to stay, but I guess we'll just have to see. It was pretty warm out and I was in a good mood so I ended up shoveling our deck off. I tried to make a snowman afterwards, but it wasn't sticky enough so I'll have to try again some other day.
Today also happens to be Remembrance Day here so we had our usual ceremony at school. This year the students from the elementary school came to our ceremony as well. One class read In Flanders Fields and another sang a song. They were so cute and little. And for once my poppy didn't fall off in the middle of the day.
Movie suggestion: The Eagle. I probably wouldn't have seen this movie if my dad hadn't pointed it out in the store, but it was surprisingly good in my opinion. It's set in Roman times where a man tries to restore his family's honour. The main character is Channing Tatum so that was a bit of a plus.
Katie, I hope your lower back is feeling better. Adam, I cannot think of a more perfect name for a Doctor Who song than Tardis Blues, I'm glad your music making is going well. Kate, Happy Birthday! Hope you have/had an awesome day! Also congrats about sticking with nano until this point, I don't seem to have that sort of capability.
Power, that's a toughy. I think I'll have to agree with you Kira. Knowledge is power. And congrats on your awesome mark. Hope exams are going well for you Campion, hang in there.
Anyway I'm getting tired so I'll be heading off to bed now.

Remember how bad I am with titles?
This will be short, sorry. I'm in preparation for my first NaNoWriMo, so I've been ignoring the internet, and my homework. This will not be my finest academic month. However my friend Anna has chosen to be my writing buddy to help get through it all. I just read through this weeks post and it sounds like you guys are doing pretty well. I'm enjoying Num8ers, so far I'm on chapter seventeen. Have you ever considered taking a day of silence? I think I'm going to tomorrow or Tuesday. I just want to be left alone at school for a day, get away from all the stupidity certain people give me. Um...........................................I'm not doing anything for Halloween this year, my sister is having her friends over. Which means I bunk on the couch, woo. I have been watching a lot of Buffy this week, I'm on season four now. Such a good show. Anyway I'm gonna go to bed, have any awesome week!
Bye!♥

To Be, or Not To Be?
You know what I would love to be right now? Asleep. I would love to be able to sleep for the next week, undisturbed, with no consequences. It would help me so much. I have been staying up late every night this week to get homework done, and it is really taking a toll. So tonight I got all my work done super early so that I could go to bed early.
We have moved on in our English class and are now studying Hamlet. So far I really like what I have read. The plot is good, and it seems like it will be all the way through, but the characters are all so horrible. I mean, they are written very well, but they are just bad people. Hamlet is so indecisive and whiny, I can't stand him. Either kill yourself or get on with your revenge, never mind 40 line soliloquies thinking about it!
Yesterday was picture day, one of my least favourite days of the year. I don't really like having my picture taken, and never even get them printed anyway. Since this is my final year though, I decided to do something really different. As I am kind of against hair dye, I ended up using food colouring to make my hair blue. It turned out looking pretty cool. A little dark, since my hair isn't as blonde as it used to be, but still blue all the same.
I don't have one favourite mythical creature. I like them all. Some of my most favourites are the manticore, pheonix, centaurs, and valkyries. I love mythology and all of the creatures that have come from them. I like to hear new takes on old classics, which is also why fantasy is my favourite genre.
Are you guys going to do anything for Hallowe'en this year? Go out trick or treating, a party, or something? If so, (or not), are you dressing up? I am going to be wearing a pair of black angel wings to school on Monday, to be in the spirit. This year though, I am staying home and will probably just watch a movie or something.
As always, hope you all have had a good week and have a great weekend. Don't forget to be awesome!

So this week was pretty awesome. My homework load was lighter than usual and I got to miss half a day of school to go to a university presentation thingy in another town. Also I just got the results from my first advanced functions unit test and I got 91%, the highest in my, albeit small, class.
I'm also really looking forward to Stickaid this year. I was able to watch some, but not all of it last year. It was hilarious. I especially liked Mr. Bun (may he rest in peace). I hope to watch the whole thing this year (only 6 hours to starting!) but who knows what'll happen.
This weeks movie review is for Castle in the Sky. It's another animated movie, but this time it's from Studio Ghibli, an asian company. It's funny, cute, and corny all at once. This is definately one of my favourite movies by them, or more specifically Hayao Miyazaki. Other favourites that I recommend from Studio Ghibli: Howl's Moving Castle, The Cat Returns, My Neighbour Totoro, and Ponyo.
Since I didn't have as much homework this week I was able to draw a couple things, which made me really happy. I gave Oshawott to Deidra as a little present and kept Snivy for myself (Snivy rules!).
Adam glad to hear you're liking college. I am super jealous that you got to meet James and Oliver Phelps. And I love your Pizza John shirt, I wish I had one too.
Katie, that's kinda a tough question. I'd probably have to say that world powers are regions that have a great impact on the rest of the world depending on the things that they do within their own country and with others. For that reason I'd say Canada, China, USA, and England are all world powers. Of course, I'm probably wrong or forgetting somewhere, but that's what I can think of right now.
Kate, I love sleep as well, so I hope I'll be able to watch all of Stickaid. I can only imagine what it would be like to host the thing and have to be doing all these activities while being super tired. I did have a wake-a-thon like that in grade eight, though so I guess it wouldn't be much different than that.
Kira I also suck at remembering numbers organized in math. It can be such a pain sometimes.
Campion it sucks that you have to study so much for your upcoming exams. I have to admit, I have terrible study habits and usually just end up studying the week before the exam. I'm planning on trying to break that habit this year, however.
Deidra I still think you should have stayed in advanced functions with me so I wouldn't be the only girl in the class, but its your loss I guess =P And don't worry about how much you write, its fine.
