Be on the Lookout for Shia LaBeouf!

Hey everyone, hope your weeks have gone well. Mine has been quite alright; I did pretty good on one of my calculus tests, I'm working on a watercolour painting in art, I'm starting to figure out what classes I have to register for my first year of university, and just today I had some spare time so I built a house of cards that was 6 levels high.Oh, and I was also nominated as valedictorian. There will be a vote next week to see who will be valedictorian out of the nominees. Even though I don't really like making speeches I'm still hoping that I'll get it.

Deidra's over for a sleepover tonight so we decided to make some more awesome food for supper and dessert. This time we made chicken samosas. Well, kind of anyway. We didn't have all the spices the recipe called for so we just kind of put in a bunch of stuff until it tasted good (note: for some reason cinnamon tastes really good with chili powder and curry powder). We also decided that we would try to make the dough instead of just buying some premade stuff, and that turned out.... interesting. In the end we couldn't shape them right because of the dough so we just made them into dumpling shapes since it was easier. I have to say though, this was probably one of the favourite things I've made for supper. 

For dessert we made a mixed fruit tart, with strawberries, apples, and kiwi. It was super easy and equally delicious so I don't know why I haven't ever made it before.

Adam I hope your exams have been/are going well. Good luck! Try not to stress too much.

Kate I am super jealous you get out of school so early. I just want my final year to be over already, but it just has to drag out all the way to the end of June. 

Campion, like Deidra I also write the title last and its usually just something relating to what I have talked about in the post. But if I can't think of anything good for that then I just put something random since it's just a title so its not that big of a deal really. I also get nostalgic quite a bit about things I remember from the past. And about the whole thing where your mom said your grandparents would be really strict, well that's probably because they were her parents and the grandparent-grandchild relationship is quite different from the parent-child one. My grandparents are the same way, and I love them for it.

PS - you guys should totally check out this song, its funny and random: Actual Cannibal Shia Labeouf

I like to pretend I can actually cook

Well exams have started so I was off school today and by my next post I'll be officially over with semester one. Yay! Though, second semester seems as if it will be fairly difficult. The only course I'm really looking forward to is art.

We got so much snow on Sunday and Monday, like at least a foot or two I'd say. The snow hills everywhere pretty much doubled in size compared to how they were before. The only good thing about getting so much snow was that it meant warmer weather for a bit and it got us half a day off of school on Monday.

Deidra was over at my house all day today so we decided to take a break from studying to bake and cook. We ended up making these awesome chocolate cupcakes with Rolos inside. It was a really simple way to improve our usual box mix cupcakes. After that we made beef stroganoff, which was surprisingly easy. And then for desert we made baked apples with cinnamon and brown sugar inside. It was pretty awesome if I do say so myself.

Congrats on your marks Adam. Katie I love Coffee Crisps, the fact that some of you guys don't have them makes me want to go buy a bunch and mail them to you, haha. Kate, I can relate, I am definitely not a morning person. Kira, what's a 3.925 GPA in percentage? Because we don't use that at our school, but honestly 3.925 seems like a pretty good GPA to me. Campion hope you're enjoying your last days of freedom.

DFTBA

Too Tired To Think of a Title

As you know, Vidcon was this weekend.  It really bummed me out since I couldn't go.  I did watch the live show that they livestreamed (you can check that out on the Vicon Youtube page).  It was very funny and especially Charlie doing not so PG things.  Charlie mentioned that he and Alex would be spending a lot of time in America with Michael and it seemed that he was hinting that they would go on a tour.  If that's true it would be so amazing to see them live and meet them, which is something I never expected to do.

I was wondering if any of you have gotten a Pottermore account yet.  The past two days registration was over before I woke up, and that was at 6 AM my time (I had to get up early for Volleyball conditioning).  I, personally, define myself as a Ravenclaw.  I knew I was either a Hufflepuff or a Ravenclaw, but I went with Ravenclaw since I am no good at finding things.  Once I do get on Pottermore, whether it be this week or October, I'll probably have a hard time adjusting if placed in a different house.


My favorite food? It's such a hard question... I love most food.  I'm one of the few people who actually likes my school lunch.
I haven't seen any of the Transformers movies though I would like to even though I'm not usually into movies that have a lot of action.
I loved Pokemon, I still do.  My favorite generations are the first and third, like Pokemon Blue and Pokemon Emerald. It's hard to pick favorites (it's always hard for me to pick favorites) but I like mudkip, moltres, and pikachu.  I usually can't get over how cute pikachu is.
I don't read any webcomics but I do sometimes go take a look at Cyanide & Happiness. I find the some of those really funny because of the simple humor and randomness that can take place.

Its For The Lolz and Stuff

Hello you wonderful people of awesomeness! I had a very okay-ish week. However I am in an awesometastic mood, so yea, rainbows and kittens and stuff...:D

I can never for the life of me remember what I was going to say or what you guys said that I want to address/answer. So this is going to be hopefully very long if I can remember/find it all. Lets start with my own excitement and move from there, shall we. I am bursting at the seams with joy for two reasons or more. 1. My friend went to camp in France, and she sent me a postcard! So lets count, that's mail from England and a postcard from France. I will hopefully be writing her back sometime this week! 2. I might be going to see Katie Costello LIVE! I'm not sure if you have heard of her, Alex Day blogged about her once, and I fell in love with her music.

Next, I'm not sure if we have any substitutes for Mars Bars that you don't have. I also have had a Kinder Surprise Egg one Easter when I was four. Not sure if they're still around in the states or not. Kayla I'm so excited to see the progress of your flower sprouts! I love growing things, sadly I don't have and can't start a garden. My dog would eat all the crops :( It would be lovely to fill my front and back lawn with a garden!

Kate I am currently downloading the first Doctor on my computer and I can't wait to watch past episode one. I have also made several scrapbooks. Two of them are from my Wish to Disney World when I was eight, one from several field trips to places like farms and museums, and one of them is of my animals which is mostly cats.

I don't have a favorite food. I'm a flexitarian, which is a part-time vegetarian. I really only eat meat on Thanksgiving, by force may I add because turkey is disgusting. I must say though, that I love pineapple. Also I don't plan on seeing the 3rd Transformer film. I didn't like the first one to begin with, just not my thing. I used to watch the show with my sister when I was younger, but even then it didn't interest me.

I do, however love Pokémon. I have the first 150 in card form, my sister has little figures, a monopoly game and the video games. We used to play the card game with the little figures to make it more real because we're just that dorky. And  Pokémon wasn't just me and my sister, it was my entire family of five children. Something I forgot and will mention now is that is there such a thing as Doctor Who Bear? I was wondering because my mom misheard my brother when he said Doctor Who and thought he said Doctor Who Bear, which is awesome. If it isn't already a thing I think we should make it a thing and have it be our mascot! 

I do read online comics Kayla, and yoU could probably guess about what. Yep, cats. here are three I'm currently reading. 
Doctor Cat: http://doctorcatmd.com/2011-01-10/doctor-cat
which is about a cat who is a doctor.
Cat Vs Human: http://catversushuman.blogspot.com/
which is a women who does comics about her cats, and occasionally her dog.
And lastly Lackadaisy: http://lackadaisycats.com/
which is more than a just comic about cats. It is truly awesome and I recommend it 100%.

My music recommendations are
Katie Costello, and her song Ships in the Night:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl9Rmx2ySC8
Al Stewart, and his song Year of the Cat [I just can't sut up about cats tonight!]:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QM7LR46zrQU
Amy MacDonald, and her song Love, Love: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mTpGECQjj4

I also might get a Twitter and Tumblr, not sure. I'll let you know how Katie Costello, my efforts to get a chicken,Twitter, and Tumblr work out!
Bye!<3
P.S. Did I not mention the chicken? Well I want a rooster. I shall name him Colin. Colin the rooster [lol].

Nostalgia

   My week has been filled with nostalgia, partly since my niece Jemma is here visiting, and partly because I have been playing a great of Pokémon. It has all been a lot fun, but also very tiring. I have been taking afternoon naps with Jemma, since I have been getting up much earlier to babysit her, as my parents are working. I have also been forced to watch children's television shows once again, and I think I may be going slowly insane. A person can only take so much.

   I recently achieved a goal of mine that I have been working on for a long time. I completed the Pokédex on my Yellow Version game pack. I have been slowly working on it since around March or April. I caught all 151 Pokémon, including Mew using the glitch/cheat. Generation I is always my favourite, and will always be what I consider 'true' Pokémon. My favourite Pokémon are Squirtle, Lapras, and Eevee. What are your favourites?
   I have never really thought of any of the legendaries as favourites, because I thought it was cliché that people always chose them as their favourites or filled their 'dream parties' with them, but Mew was always my favourite of that type. Mostly because it was so cute, and it was very powerful in the movie.
   I think I will start a generation II game soon, and try to complete that game's Pokédex as well. It was a fun challenge, even though you don't really get anything out of it. Professor Oak just congratulates you, and the game designers show you a certificate that says that you completed the Dex.

   I know exactly what you mean about procrastination, Kayla. Whenever there is something important that needs to be done, I suddenly think of dozens of fun things that I want to do, but when I have time to relax, I can't think of anything, and the ideas that I thought were fun just seem boring. Also, you should show us how your sunflowers are coming along.
   Adam, I don't really listen to music all that much, especially in the summer. I listen to most of my music in the winter, during the long bus rides too and from school. I also get up pretty early in the morning for school, so I usually end up sleeping on my bus rides as well. Music is amazing, and I love it, but it isn't something that I really think about too often. Furthermore, zebras.
   Katie, I didn't  know that you didn't have Mars Bars in the U.S. That's just depressing! Mars Bars are great. Well, they're alright. Do you have like, a substitute chocolate bar that we Canadians don't have to make up for it? Also, I usually always keep my room clean (I'm kind of a neat freak), so it always makes me chuckle when people say it takes them a long time to clean their rooms. Even the spring cleaning only takes me an hour or two.
   Your new blog looks really great Kate. I am looking forward to reading more from you. Well, more that isn't a.W.o.A related. I don't really do scrapbooking, because I like to look at the things I collect. I do however have a Wall of Stuff that is full of art and other things, and a cork board with cards and stuff. I will show you another time.
   I don't really have a favourite food, Kira, because like you, I think that food is just good. I'm not picky, and I'll try just about anything, to a certain extent. I don't I could ever be a vegetarian though. I can understand the grounds for it, but I enjoy meat. I would like to try it sometime in the future, just to see how I would do with it. I do have a favourite drink though, and that would be iced tea.
   Campion, I have never watched any of the Transformers movies, and I do not really intend to watch them. They are just not the type of movie that I like.

   Anywho, this has been a really long week, and it isn't even over yet. So don't forget to be awesome, and Poké-on!

Food

Okay, so it's twelve ten, I can't sleep, and I'm sitting in my room, typing this and feeling hungry. I have an unhealthy obsession with food, as you may be able to tell.

My friend once stole my food during a Tae Kwon Do tournament...my reaction wasn't pretty. In my defence, I hadn't eaten for five hours, and I had been running around for all of those five hours, participating in my events.

Favourite foods, anyone? I'm a vegetarian, so my favourite is probably...actually, scratch that. I don't have a favourite. Food in general is amazing.

On a side note, go to freerice.com, everyone. For every question you get right, ten grains of rice are donated to people who need it.

I'm going to keep this short, so I'll go to my recommendation. Ray Bradbury. Love him.
