Aaaand just on time. While being a relaxing break, it has been quite a busy one. Last Thursday I was away from home all day on account of spending the day and night with Kayla and our friend Heather, and I blanked on posting. Guess my mind was hoping for an apocalypse. That was a joke. Glad we are all alive and not facing zombies or aliens or something ridiculous like that.
Christmas was a-MA-zing! Spent a relaxing Eve watching Misfits and then going out with the family to look at the lights around town. They were a bit disappointed, but I really liked it. Living on campus doesn't really let you absorb that Christmas-time tradition. I ended up staying awake until 4:30, sending messages to all of my tumblr followers and many facebook friends. And then my mind was just everywhere and wouldn't let me sleep.
I got exactly what I had asked for, including some things that surprised me. I have a gift certificate to get a new, bigger fish tank and new fish. My younger sister got me some t-shirts off of dftba.com, and my older sister got me pajamas and fuzzy socks. Kayla, my best friend in the world, got me not one but two beautiful pocket watches. And then, what really made it the best Christmas ever was finding out that my older sister is pregnant again! I am so excited, I am going to be an aunt again. She is due next August, which is the only downside because that means I have to wait so long.
And now to spend the rest of the break relaxing. Which means more sleep, movies, and tv shows. I saw The Perks of Being a Wallflower last night, and it was really good. I hope to see The Hobbit once I return to Thunder Bay. I started watching the show Misfits and am already more than halfway through the third (of four) season.
And I will try to talk about it without spoilers, but I might slip up. About the Doctor Who Christmas special. I have many mixed feelings about it. The actual plot of the special was kind of meh, it really got lost among all the new changes and the companion plot. I felt that the instant relationship between the Doctor and Clara was too quick, and was all too similar to that of Amy. And the TARDIS, my baby, what happened there? I wrote a tumblr post about my feelings of it, but suffice it to say I really don't like it.
Well, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and that you have eaten enough turkey and stuffing to last for another 364 days. My toes are freezing and I am itching to watch another movie because aaahhh freedom and time. Enjoy the rest of your holidays and don't forget to be awesome.

So Many Notes...
I really wish that title could mean something cool, like music notes or love notes or notes with secrets scribbled in a hurry. But no, it means school notes. I have so many to do because I did no homework over the weekend or during the week. I need to get so much done in a small amount of time because I have lots of plans for this weekend and a lot of work to do. Next week, I have my history midterm, my education final, and an English seminar.
Really not much for me to say. I have totally messed up my sleep cycle. Yesterday I came back from class at around 11 and ended up sleeping until 2 in the afternoon. I missed an amazing lunch (they had a make your cupcake bar), and then I have no idea what to do with the rest of the afternoon. Which means I didn't do any work.
My snail did end up being dead. Very sad. But I will get another after Christmas. We are also doing a Secret Santa in our house. Quite exciting. Must get my Christmas shopping finished this weekend. Yeah, not much to say, and I keep looking over at the pile of work I have to do. So, as usual, don't forget to be awesome! Have a good weekend. Meow.

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
Kayla
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.

Your Inner Doctor
Merry (late) Christmas everyone! I hope you all had an enjoyable holiday, and got to spend it with family and/or friends. I myself am having a wonderful holiday season. Our company left to go back home today, but we have had lots of fun while they were here. On Monday we all went down to the lake, and watched my niece ride her new snowmobile. It was really cute, because it is a small/mini one, and she is so tiny on it. She is really good too, especially for only being 3 and a half. Then on Tuesday we went to the arena for a bit of skating. We weren't there very long, thank god, or else I think my feet would have fallen off. I haven't been skating in a couple of years, so my ice skates were tight on my toes. It went well though, I didn't fall, which is a big accomplishment for me. I honestly thought I was going to hurt myself when I initially stepped onto the ice.
I did some more drawing last night and today, and have put some pictures up on my DeviantArt account if you would like to see them. They aren't the greatest, but I like to think that I am getting better.
I don't really agree with you, Katie. At first, I couldn't wait for Amy to leave the TARDIS and The Doctor, as I thought she was too clingy and dependent on him (sort of like Rose). Now though, I think I have spent enough time hoping that she lives and watching her be a bad-ass that I can't imagine it without her. I mean, Smith's Doctor has always been with Amy, there was no in between for either of them. I loved the special, though.
Don't worry too much about procrastination, Kate. You aren't the only one trying to enjoy the holidays until the last moments. I have quite a bit of work that needs to be done before I return that I haven't even looked at. Congrats on your memorization though! Keep it up, I know you will do amazing. Just channel David Tennant, he's done a ton of Shakespeare.
I didn't really have any hopes for that movie. The first time I saw commercials for it, I thought 'not another stupidly animated movie'. I don't particularly enjoy that kind of animation, and it completely puts me off from watching the movie. Also, the fact that it comes from a French cartoon kind of ruins it. It gives excuse to the stupid ending humour though. When in doubt, push someone off a bridge. I'm glad that you still enjoyed it though.
I feel really lazy right now, but not sleepy. I was up really late drawing last night and then slept in, and now my internal clock feels all messed up. Hope you are all enjoying the holidays! Don't forget to be awesome!

I am horrible.
Christmas break is here and it is nice. Wednesday afternoon we left to drive down to Oklahoma. It was a 10 hour drive but I slept most of the way.
Christmas was okay. I liked the gifts (I got my Letterman jacket!) but there was quite a bit of family drama, and that kinda ruined the whole thing.
I have been procrastinating... that is why I am horrible. I've memorized a bit more than half of my speech, and then I let it slide for the past few days. I still have to edit my research paper also. I did have math homework, too.
Considering I'm always down south in Oklahoma for Christmas, I rarely see snow. There are a few times when it snows, though. Two days ago snow was in the forecast in Oklahoma even though there is no snow back home in Nebraska.
There is another reason why I am horrible. I downloaded World of Warcraft on to my laptop and have started playing it again. I started playing the game when I was 10 because my brother wanted someone else to be able to back him up when saying that it wasn't a bad game. Little did he know that soon we would have to take turns and share the computer.
Once my brother moved out he got a new account and I had to stop playing (around age 13) because I couldn't really pay for time. About two times a year I start playing it now. Christmas (when I get money) and Summer (when school ends).
I've got to go now. My dad doesn't approve of me staying on my laptop. He wants me to socialize even though I am an extremely introverted person.
Kate
PS I have not yet caught up on Doctor Who. I still have to watch the Wedding of River Song and then the Christmas Special!

White Christmas
So school is finally out today, it was pretty pointless to even be there seeing as we didn't do any work really, but I guess the free pancake breakfast made up for it. A little bit anyway. But now that's done (even though technically I have two essays and some math to work on, but I'm not thinking about that right now lalalalalala) and I'm in Thunder Bay for the holidays as per usual. We still have to decorate and finish wrapping presents since we just got here, but we have time and it'll be fun. My sister is back from Ottawa so that's nice, too. We're planning on doing a lot of fun stuff while she's here like baking, skating, making a snowman, and maybe skiing.
Campion, I honestly can't even imagine Christmas without snow, it just seems so wrong to me. Christmas is the time of year when its cold out with tons of snow so you have hot chocolate and play outside while being bundled up so much it's hard to walk, and toboggan down huge hills. We already have maybe a foot and a half of snow here.
Adam, I consider myself Canadian first and I also consider myself an Ontarian, but more than that I consider myself a Northern Ontarian because our province is so big and southern Ontario isn't really the same as northern Ontario. If that makes any sense.
On a completely different note have you guys seen the trailer for The Hobbit? I was so excited when I saw it, it feels like I've been waiting forever for the movie to come out (because of all the stupid delays and setbacks) and I still have to wait one year to see the first part, but that's better than before.
So yeah, Merry Christmas! DFTBA! And I haven't really seen anyone say that they don't celebrate Christmas, but if you don't (and for our readers who don't) Happy Chrismukkwanzaadan!

So Close
This week has gone by really slowly. It seems like the school hours go by like the clocks are melting, and once I get home time seems to escape and run off without me. I would really prefer it to be the other way around, since of course I just want school to be over already. I mean, why can't they just give us these days off as well as the ones we normally get? All of the students are basically either zombies or on mega-sugar highs. I know I find it hard to concentrate during the last week.
Oh well, only one more to go. And it will be a fun day, too. We have our annual pancake breakfast first thing, which is usually pretty fun because it means I can sleep in a couple of extra minutes and skip breakfast at home. Then I have a period one spare, and a movie period two. Third is a toss-up, because the teacher is kind of horrible in the way that we will be doing actual work in her class, with the possibility of an essay. You can never tell with her. And then I am off fourth period, then to the assembly to watch the younger grades make fools of themselves on stage. So it should be an entertaining day.
For Christmas, we are having family coming down to spend a week. My sister, her husband, and my niece, which is exciting because it will be the first Christmas I spend with her. Also a giant family dinner on Christmas. I plan to watch the Doctor Who Christmas special, but that may be difficult with everyone here. Other than that, I don't really have anything planned for the holidays other than relaxing and a bit of schoolwork. Darn work.
I cannot even fathom the fact that you are getting rain right now Campion. I have never had a Christmas without snow, and lots of it. I mean, how do you make snow angels and snowmen without snow? Mud angels? Rock men? (That's a joke)
Adam, you still have not told us your YouTube channel name. I will continue to bother you about this fact until you do so. I hope all of your exams and finals went well, and that you are now back home with your family. As for your question, I think of myself as a Canadian first, since nationality is the bigger part when it comes to defining a person, in my opinion. I wouldn't really identify myself as an Ontarionian unless someone asked where in Canada I was from. I think it has more to do with the fact that when people think of Canada, they don't recognize territories and provinces as well as they recognize American states.
I fully intend to buy the Forever Yours songs, but like you Katie I have been kind of rushed and have not had the time to pick up an Itunes card or anything. I am really hoping that Alex wins the Christmas Number one. It would be awesome for a YouTuber to win, and show that the site isn't just for watching videos of cats doing crazy/adorable things, but it's also a place to find amazing music and musicians with heart and drive and talent. I think that Alex has put a lot of effort into this, and he really deserves it. I hope that Christmas with your brother is amazing!
Kate, I am so jealous of your speech. I wish I got to memorize that one instead of the ones I had to memorize for Hamlet and Othello. You will do great on it. I was able to memorize mine in one night, and you get all of the holidays so you should be able to rock it. Plus, the pure awesomeness of the speech will inspire you even more. Also, yay for finally getting your shirt!
I am jealous of your sleeping in, Kira. I want to do that so much, but still must wait. But it will feel so good on Saturday morning when I can sleep past 7. Hope you have fun on your vacation!
I will post this before it gets any longer or it becomes late. I wish you all an early Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Festive Kwanzaa, whatever it may be that you celebrate. And as always, don't forget to be awesome!

Nine Days Till Christmas
Well my week has been pretty relaxed, probably since Chirstmas break starts soon. Today has been pretty epic though. I just got early acceptance to both the University of Ottawa and Lakehead University! I'm really excited about it. I'm not sure where I'll go in the end (I also have yet to hear from the University of Guelph), but I have like almost half a year to decide, so that's good.
The second sunflower plant finally bloomed yesterday and guess what? It's orange! I'm so glad that it made a flower. It actually grew a lot too and now the flower is too heavy for the stem, so I have to figure out a way to hold it up straight.
Tomorrow Deidra and I are going to go see the Nutcracker ballet. I'm really happy that we're going to see it because I've never actually been to a ballet before and I'm sure it's going to be amazing.
Adam, hope your finals are going/went well. Also, I haven't really been on youtube for a while so I completely forgot about P4A. I'll have to make sure to check it out tomorrow to show some support.
Wow, Katie. 7 hours of sorting is super intense, I would definitely not be able to do that. Also intensives sound pretty interesting and I think I played that game before, but I'm not very good with doing math games like that.

Hopefully you'll be able to make a P4A video, too.
Kira, it's been a pretty mild winter so far to be honest, but we have had a bunch of snow so I took your advice and I was able to make a snowman a couple days ago, carrot nose and all. As for Christmas plans, just the usual relaxing and visiting with family with the potential for some fun stuff like skiing with my sister.
Campion, that sucks that the weather has been so bad, mother nature just likes to do that to spite everyone, eh?
DFTBA

PS- I just found out that the sequel to this book I really love finally came out. I've been waiting for it for over a year so this is really exciting. I'll have to try and get it ASAP. Today has been amazing, hope your days are going as well as mine!

Every Time
So I spent today doing the most annoying task ever created: Christmas shopping. And for some reason my family always leaves it until really late in the month, and I'm stuck going through stores filled with what seems like hundreds of other people who don't know what to buy. Really, I just want to get in and get out. But I did get everything I needed, which is great because there is no way I would go back now. Something interesting I noticed today though: it seems like every time I go into the city with my family, it's on a Thursday. And then I have to come home and post, kinda late, before I can go to sleep.
I think I have heard of that game Katie, or at least some variation of it. All I know is that I would be horrible at it, as I truly hate math. Since I'm not taking it this year, I've sort of just given up on it completely. I also don't really understand what these intensives are. But if they mean you get to visit awesome places, then they sound way better than community hours.
Kira, I don't see why you would be upset about missing snow for a cruise. That is a trade I would make any day. As much as I love snow at Christmas, I think I'm getting a little tired of it. Also, I don't really know why people apologize for things they can't help. Probably just to sympathize with other people, and make them feel a bit better about their problems. As for mine, I gave up and changed outlets. It means having my laptop at the opposite end of my room, but no more annoyance.
Adam, pretty please share your YouTube channel with us! I can guarantee you would have some more subscribers if you did. Also, I hope that your finals are going/went well. I'm sure you will do fine, as long as you studied and whatnot.
I am still writing on my own blog every day, as per the December Challenge. Since I must still do that, this post will be cut short. Don't forget to be awesome!

Talk about ALL the things!
Today was pretty awesome. Two of my three teachers were away so we had supplies in for them. In biology class we ended up having a big discussion about pokemon and then a debate over what the plural of platypus is. Then in english we were reading the final act of Othello as a class and things just got really out of hand we ended up laughing so much and just having a bunch of fun. And it's the weekend now!
I'm hanging out with Deidra right now, sleeping over at her place to be more exact and we just spent the evening playing Twilight Princess and then we watched Super 8. Let me tell you Super 8 was a fantastic movie in my opinion. There was action, a little romance, aliens, mystery. The best part of all though was that it wasn't just another movie with the same old Hollywood actors. It was just a bunch of like teens that I hadn't really seen in any movies before (though they have been in a few, I looked them up).
Adam, your Swindon Town fanfic is going really well so far, I'll be sure to check in on it from time to time. I hope you keep it up because it's definitely better than a lot of the fanfiction that I've read on other things.
For Christmas my family has a sort of double celebration I guess you could say. On Christmas Eve we spend the evening at my Grandparents house for an awesome dinner (with ham not turkey) and then presents. Then on Christmas Day we open the family presents and have my uncle over for a second christmas dinner. We always get a real tree for our house and it's usually pretty tall so we have to use a ladder to decorate the top. My mom does a bunch of baking and we all pitch in to help. My favourite things we make are gingerbread cookies, shortbread cookies, and meat perogies. The food is definitely my favourite part of the holiday, but watching all the christmas tv specials comes at a close second.
Happy Birthday Kira! I hope you have an awesome weekend and an awesome birthday. And don't stress too much about school or anything just try your hardest and work your way through whatever they send your way and you'll be fine. I honestly believe that worrying about it will just make it worse than whatever it would have been.
Campion, it sucks you're limited in your bandwidth use. I don't know how it is with everyone else, but where I live, or I guess with the plan my family has, there isn't really a limit to how much bandwidth we use. I honestly never even knew what bandwidth was until like a couple years ago when someone was talking about it on a youtube video.
As for something that I watched before and got back into, all I can really think of off the top of my head would be Doctor Who. It played on cable for the Eccleston and like one of the Tennant seasons when I was younger and all I can remember thinking was that it was a really cool show. Then it stopped for some reason and I kind of forgot about it until I got into Nerdfighting. So I went back and watched all the episodes from Eccleston and onwards, and it's still as good as I remember.

Oh and I almost forgot, this week my school started a gardening club so I joined it. It seems like it'll be a lot of fun so I can't wait till we start growing things.
I'm hanging out with Deidra right now, sleeping over at her place to be more exact and we just spent the evening playing Twilight Princess and then we watched Super 8. Let me tell you Super 8 was a fantastic movie in my opinion. There was action, a little romance, aliens, mystery. The best part of all though was that it wasn't just another movie with the same old Hollywood actors. It was just a bunch of like teens that I hadn't really seen in any movies before (though they have been in a few, I looked them up).
Adam, your Swindon Town fanfic is going really well so far, I'll be sure to check in on it from time to time. I hope you keep it up because it's definitely better than a lot of the fanfiction that I've read on other things.
For Christmas my family has a sort of double celebration I guess you could say. On Christmas Eve we spend the evening at my Grandparents house for an awesome dinner (with ham not turkey) and then presents. Then on Christmas Day we open the family presents and have my uncle over for a second christmas dinner. We always get a real tree for our house and it's usually pretty tall so we have to use a ladder to decorate the top. My mom does a bunch of baking and we all pitch in to help.

Woot December!
Yay, it's finally December! Now, only 24 more days until Christmas. I'm kind of super excited, but more for the break part than the holiday. I have been so horribly busy these past weeks, and the next few will be annoying only because I'm now looking forward to the break. But my sister and niece are coming down to visit for a week to spend Christmas with us, so that will make it even better.
I am also starting a blogging challenge on my personal blog. I will be posting a photo and writing every single day, which I hope I will be able to do. I am excited to do it, especially sincec some of the day's challenges are going to be really good. Except for tomorrow, which is supposed to be a self-portrait. I'm not a big fan of photos.
Congrats on NaNo, Kate. I am assuming that you have finished by today, which is pretty amazing. Looking back, I would never have had enough time to get anywhere in a NaNo novel. Also, your kitties are adorable! This is my baby, Boots. Also one o my favourite pictures of her. She likes to follow me around the house, and even sleeps on te corner of my bed sometimes. I am going to miss her when I leave for school. =(
I've never tried tea, but your list of reasons may make me more inclined to do so one day, Katie. Until then, I will sit here and drink my hot chocolate while watching Doctor Who. I do celebrate Christmas, but there aren't many traditions that we have. I mean, we always do a special dinner with who ever is here with us, and decorate the house and such. The music, though, is something that I don't especially enjoy. It is just annoying for me, and it never changes. It isn't really fun or exciting, and years of stupid Christmas concerts growing up have really caused me to hate them.
Happy early birthday Kira! I hope that you have a good day, and aren't plagued with homework or anything for the weekend. Here is your internet birthday cupcake, please wait until Sunday to enjoy though =P I thought it was both birthday-y and Christmas-y, and totally awesome. And delicious. Hope you love it! (despite the fact that you must love it from afar.)
Well, have a good weekend all, and look into my blog to see my blogging/photo challenge. I'm hoping to not miss any days. And don't forget to be awesome!!

NyanNyanNyan
So my week was pretty crazy, but hopefully I won't be quite as busy next week. I'm going to Thunder Bay this weekend so I'm going to try to get some Christmas shopping done. I'm pretty sure I know what I'm getting for my parents and my sister, which is strange because I usually have trouble figuring out what to get them.
Anyway, like Deidra said we made an awesome Nyan Cat cake last weekend, here's a picture we took before eating it.
Adam, I love Yugioh Abridged Series! There are just so many things to love about it: the voices, all the stupid jokes, stupid internet references. I could write down a whole bunch of my favourite jokes from there, but I'll restrain myself and just say: I agree with you, everyone should definitely check it out.
Kate, I agree about the whole US congress thing. I laughed when I heard they were going to try to censor the internet. The whole pizza vegetable issue also made me chuckle a bit.
Good to hear from you again Campion, it's great your exams are done. I got to say, I definitely don't prepare for my exams as well as you seem to do so I hope you get super awesome marks.
