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!

Numb Mind

   This post is going to be short, because I am extremely tired. I had to get up at 4:30 this morning to drive into the city for my driving lesson and to pick up my niece for the week, and then my mom decided it was a good time to go back to school shopping. (I HATE SHOPPING). I was pretty nervous about everything, so I didn't sleep much during the night, and I couldn't sleep at all during the drive up, which is strange because usually sleep amazingly in vehicles. The lesson itself went pretty alright, and I might write a post on my personal blog about it another day if I get around to it.

   Adam, I can't wait to hear about your exam results. I'm sure you did great, and all of your worrying will have been for nothing. I think the Canadian equivilant of debs would be prom, which at my high school happens every year for all of the students to attend, since it is so small. But I am the kind of person who seriously dislikes dances, so I have never been to prom, or any of my school's dances. My friends hate me for it, but I don't care. Apparently I am being hijacked for prom this year, and have no choice in the matter though. So we will see how that goes.
   I remember my freshman year of highschool, Katie. I was also super nervous. Thank god my school is small, or else I probably would have had a panic attack or something. I hope you get your computer fixed soon. 
   Kate, I don't know how you survive through practices that early in the morning. I hate getting up in the morning, and am definetely a night person. School is wierd over there. Here we get our schedules in the beginning of summer, along with our reports from the last year, so we already know our classes and teachers. Though we have to wait for the first day to get our lockers, since the school is going through stupid renovations.
   I'm sure you did fine on your entrance test, Kira. Tests always seem worse after you take them. I took piano lessons for a year, but never played after that. I am not really a music person. The concepts are all lost to me.

   I think a theme week would be a good idea. Although I don't really know what kind of theme we could have. I would suggest a back to school theme, but everyone's schooling is kind of different and spaced out differently. Maybe a fall or autumn type theme? I don't know.
   Anyway, this got way longer than I intended, so I am going to go to bed now. Don't forget to be awesome, and all that nerdy stuff.

Nervous very nervous

So I tried posting this before, but it failed, like my computer not working. I'm still using my sisters so this will be extremely short. She want to go back on Facebook. I'm nervous because I go to schedule my classes for high school tomorrow. Freshman nerves, ugh. So I made a video on my North Carolina if you were interested in how that went. http://www.youtube.com/user/invaderzimgirl14#p/u/0/EjcB0FcIyeI
When I get my computer fixed my posts will be longer.
Bye!<3

Its late and I'm not creative enough for titles, my apologizes.

Sorry its not going to be Sunday when you read this. My mom had the day off and made it the day-we-do-nothing-but-clean-because-I-say-it-is. I really hate these days. Anyway I'm going to address some of the things below now.
Kate the fourth of July seems ages ago to me, not sure about you! I have successfully found a math tutor who works really cheap, but thank you for the offer.
Kira I have never heard of the book Rebecca I would love if you could leave the author in the comments on this or in your next blog post, thanks!
Campion I'm jealous of the fact you got to play Pokemon under a desk during school, and the fact that you can find people still willing to play! I do hope you share your rap battle of Shakespeare's Henry the fourth part 1. 
Deidra I'm so glad you brought the whole classic thing to my attention. I have thought long and hard about my reply. A classic is something that can jump the barrier from old to new. Ex. Jane Eyre, classic love story. A love story that can cross between the old and new barrier and still be loved. Oliver Twist is one of my favorite classics.
Kayla your trip to Ottawa sounded really fun, and I would love to see photos.
And for Adam, some stereotypes. Drunk, catholic, red hair, freckles, bad temper, and leper cons[one word?]. I actually watched an Irish movie called The Race, that pretty much fit all those stereotypes, so feel free to defend your land!
I had a long, boring week, I can't wait until my sister gets back from Australia, and I think I'm done.
Bye!♥

I'm bad with titles, so I'm not sure what to put? What day of the week is it again?

Hey, hi, hello! I'm Katie, the lovely person who writes on Sundays. I've currently only been awake for an hour, so I do apologize if I ramble or something. I think I'm going to start off answering the various questions.

1. How I became a Nerdfighter is a wonderfully weird tale. Being a fan of Doctor Who [and having a YouTube account] I decided to go on YouTube and see what content they had for Doctor Who. A few videos down and I saw a guy with red hair in the caption[Charlie], with the title Doctor Who? I watched it, liked, then didn't subscribe to Charlie for three months. After I did subscribe I found the vlogbrothers, and you know, BOOM Nerdfighter!  I told you it was weird.

2. Zombie's, Pirates, Purple, December eighth. 
Two facts about my birthday is, 1. John Lennon died that day [1980], and 2. Jim Morrison had the same birthday[1943]. So a positive and a negative, isn't that nice!

3. I have a cat named Kristal [yes, like the drink], a dog nicknamed Bear [full name? Grisly Bear Johnson Jones Adams Jr. the Third. My brothers dog.], a guinea pig [not sure how to spell her name, its from an Anime my sister watches.], and two leopard geckos whose names I never remember! 

I should probably let you know some general things. 

Music: I'm obsessed with The Who, and my friends tease me to know end. This year in school we had to do superlatives for the kids in our class [its a small school] and mine was near the end, and I didn't know what they came up with, so I was a bit worried. Most likely to be The Who's band groupie. I hate them for that! However that's not the only band or genre of music I listen to. I like music from the 1940s' to the 1990s'. From Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, and The Monkees. To Bon Jovi, Queen, The Presidents of the United States, and Madness. I'm not actually a big fan of 70s' music, its got a lot of soul. I do like some modern music, but the only thing that comes to mind is Lady Gaga. I also like classical composers like Bach and Mozart. I like YouTube musicians like Alex Day, Chameleon Circuit, Tom Milsom, and Hank. I've never really listened to Country, Rap, Hip-Hop, things of that nature.

Television: Doctor Who, Top Gear, Torchwood, Star Trek, How I Met Your Mother, Whose Line Is It Anyway, Invader Zim, and most recently Franklin and Bash.
 
Other things: I live somewhere in the U.S., I'm a flexitarian, a part of the Nermie Army, I ramble obviously, I like using random colors, I LOVE art, I'm terrible at math [need a tutor!], I'm fourteen almost fifteen, I've just reached five foot, and I'll see ya tomorrow Kate!

P.S. I'll leave some links I guess.
