I Be Distracted

   This week has been a short one for me, since I did not go to school today. My family and I went to the city to do some shopping, and also because they had some appointments to go to. It was mostly boring, as shopping usually is for me, but I bought a book that is surprisingly very good. It is called Boy Proof, and I am almost finished reading it already. I would be done if it hadn't gotten so dark on the way home.

   I don't have school tomorrow, but I still have to get up a bit early to do some work for my online World History course. I have to finish and submit an assignment that I have barely started, since it is due tomorrow. Also this weekend I have to study for a biology quiz, do English homework from today, and start the history assignment that is due on Monday. I really wish school would be over now.

   Craig looked a little lonely, so I drew this for you Katie. I copied the baseline from a Google image, not from my head. I am not that creative. But it is my favourite kind of dinosaur cartoon, because it is so adorable. Also, my definition of hero is someone that you can look up to and take strength and ideas from I guess. I've always been a bit sketchy with the idea of heros. I kinda prefer the term role model, or something of the like. 'Hero' is just a bit too fictional for my liking. I don't know.

  
   Campion I am extremely jealous that you got to see a Shakespeare play. I would love to see one, though I have never read Henry IV. I have only read Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, and The Merchant of Venice. Personally Romeo and Juliet is my favourite of those, but for different reasons than most people. It is the play that really got me interested in English, and one of the main reasons why I now want to study it in university. To see it in the Globe Theatre would be to die for!
   Kira, your story was funny and reminded me of my Wednesday. We were in the library doing our online courses, and a friend of ours decided to take a nap underneath the the computer desks. I mean, he was sort of hung-over, but it was still pretty random.
   Congrats Kate on being sorted into Ravenclaw! Also on being able to play the ukulele so quickly. I am amazed.  =)
   Adam I hope you have a good week and that college is exciting. Please tell us how those challenges went, I am interested in seeing how you did in them.
   Kayla, I will never look at pudding the same way again.

   I hope you all have a good week and a good Thursday! Don't forget to be awesome!

Its Getting Better All The Time...

A little better, since you've been mine. So this week wasn't the best week, but it was better.Yesterday was amazing, as well as most of today.  I still think some type of theme is in order, but I have no idea what. Except turtles. No reason really, I just think turtle week would be fun. My friend Anna finally read Looking For Alaska, and is on Katherine's [I made her a Nerdfighter, so I wasn't alone!]. Anyway the reason yesterday was so awesome was because I finally caught John doing a live show. He was answering questions from Twitter and he answered mine, which made me happy-dance. Something he said and I quote: "No idea why hackers chose your pants." So yea, it was great. Also, Doctor Who was quite amazing, I really enjoyed it. Today was good because I watched Savannah [http://www.youtube.com/user/savanamazing] on blogtv. Then I went outside with some books, my iPod, pillows, blankets, and drawing paper. I was out there from 3:00pm-7:00pm relaxing. What made it notsome was when these asshat collage kids honked there horn at me when the drove by. I didn't do anything to them, but lay in my front yard minding my own business. Oh I also made you this:

 

I think its one of my best. You can't read the bottom, but I named it Craig. Not sure why, just thought it fit. So that's Craig the dinosaur everyone. There is this cat in my neighborhood that my mom and sister say looks like my cat [same colors, but not breed]. I saw he/she next door in there back yard and had it come right to me. I pet he/she then went back over to my blanket. A few minuets later it was coming toward me. He/she came on my blanket, but got scared away by my dog. He was barking at this guy walking. It ran across the street and left, but it was the cutest cat. Here's a photo:

 

Glad you guys have had a good week, I have a question for you. I was asked to define what being a "hero" was this past week. So now I would like you to define "hero" and try and find someone to fit that definition. Mine was the Uncultured Project, because Shawn is made-of-awesome. DFTBA guys, I'll write to you next Sunday late at night, when its almost Monday!

Bye!♥

P.S. I really like Twitter. Way too much. Its not healthy...

I Refuse To Grow Up

     This past week has been kind of weird. I have been frantically trying to change my online history course for a writer's craft course, and I don't know exactly what is going to happen with it. I am really really hoping to get into it, since English and writing are what I love (and history is just bleh). Also, I have been writing a lot of essays for English class, which has been wearing me down. Essays are not fun to write.

     I did do a fun exercise on descriptive writing, where I had to describe what I can see from my bedroom window. Since I live in the basement I thought it was going to be extremely difficult, but once I opened my blinds (which are always closed, it was the first time they had been opened in months) I found that it was actually pretty easy to describe what was out there.

Living Low

     Soft yellow light filters down through dusty window panes as the tips of dying blades of grass leisurely brush the glass. In the brightening sky jet black birds make slow smooth circles, their shrill calls piercing the tranquility. Rising, the remainder of the scene comes into view. The front lawn unfolds in front of me, a vast expanse of glistening green broken up only by a declining shrub. The small number of remaining leaves make the plant appear skeletal and lifeless. Beyond its twisted branches lies the cracked and faded road, void of people and purpose during this moment. The houses that line the street remain dark, only their faces illuminated by the glowing light radiating from the street lights. Dropping back onto the bed, the scene disappears from view, once again engulfed by the walls of the room.

      I had never heard of Starcraft before you mentioned it in your post, Campion. It seems like an interesting sort of game. I am not much of a gamer, but it looks like something that I might like to try. Anyway, a few days after reading your post, I overheard some guys in my school talking about it. Coincidence? I think not.
      Kayla, the only thing I have to say to you is read more of The Great Gatsby! I finished it on the weekend and am dying to talk about it with you. The beginning of the novel was a little dry, but the ending is what really makes it worth the read. Just keep going!
     Happy Belated Birthday Adam! I hope it was really good and that you celebrated it well. Here is your Internet birthday cupcake, do enjoy!  ^.^  Also, some of those challenges sound pretty scary. I would probably be too embarrassed or shy to do many of them.

     Sorry to hear that you had a suckish week Katie. But I expect to see a dinosaur at some point in the future, so that I have something to cheer me up whenever I have a bad week (since I cannot draw dinosaurs).

     Kate, I am jealous of your ukulele. Although I have no musical talents I would love to have one, because they are so adorable and awesome. Are you going to decorate yours and make it nerdy? Or just leave it like it is?

     Congratulations Kira on your acceptance into Gryffiindor! I also have always believed myself to be a Ravenclaw, but I would accept Gryffindor or Hufflepuff anyday. Slytherin on the other hand, I would not. =P

     I must now go and do more English homework. So I hope you guys enjoyed this post, because I used it to procrastinate my work, and that you all have good weeks. Don't forget to be awesome. Ever!

Sunshine and Giggles and All-round Happiness

So I'm having a good Sunday. Not sure how tomorrow will go, or the next day, or the next. All I know is that last week sucked. It seemed that everyone [including most teachers] Forgot To Be Awesome. Now I'm not going to lie to you. My week was so bad, Saturday I spent the morning crying into my pillow [to which I fell back asleep I was so stressed]. I don't want you to feel bad, because you guys didn't do anything. My school is just...unfair to certain kids [being me]. Now I don't want to give detail because it upsets me, and I don't want tears on my key board. I just had a tough week, that's all.

However I'm glad you guys seemed to have had an awesome week! First off, Kate I follow you on Twitter and I'm glad for your new present! Kira I can't believe what happened to you, stuff like that annoys me to no end. Campion I know how you feel, sports don't really interest me either. Deidra I find it awesome that you get to read The Great Gatsby at the same time as the rest of Nerdfighteria. And Adam Happy early 18th birthday!!!!!! I hope it will be an awesome day for you!

You know something, I like doing is chores. I don't find them annoying. In my house I do the dishes, bathroom, living room, and my side of my bedroom. I also from time to time help cook. I like doing these things, they calm me down and help me to focus on doing one thing at a time, which is always something I need to do. Sure I complain a bit, but today that was because Savannah [http://www.youtube.com/user/savanamazing] was on blogtv and I thought Hey I can go watch and have fun. But then I was reminded of my chores and got a bit sad.

This week I didn't have any homework really and same for the next week. I have a lot of YouTube to catch up on, because I have such a long day. I get up at 5:30am and get home at around 5:30-6:00pm. A really long day compared to last year. So I on;y have enough time to eat dinner and do homework. The interwebs get left behind. I'll try and find a way to squeeze it in though. So the title lied, I didn't want you to read the title and go 'oh great shes in a bad mood' because I'm not. I just had a rough week, and an okay weekend. I will go and watch my sub box and draw some dinosaurs [I draw a mean cartoon dinosaur]. Until next week you lovely kick-ass people!

Bye!♥
