A Letter to a Me Who Just Won't Listen

     Remember that one time, when I said that things always seem to happen to me on Thursdays? Well, it seems like that didn't end along with school. I am gone today, so writing this post Wednesday night. I'm just gonna post it early.

     I remember a few weeks ago, someone asked whether we use Caps Lock or Shift when writing something in all caps, and I don't remember answering it. Don't even know why it came to mind. But I use shift, even if I am writing more than a few words in all caps. I don't know why. I guess I've just never been really conventional with my typing skills. Also, Kira, when I said that thing about 10 degrees Celsius, I meant that it was 10 degrees hotter than normal, and that I was having trouble handling it. The weather was actually somewhere between 40 and 45 degrees. Not actually 10 degrees. It's not always cold up here. 

     I've been waiting for the time that I have enough time and room in a post to go ahead and steal Adam's idea. I am going to write a letter to my past self, and it's going to be kind of terrible. But I'm going to do it anyway and it is going to be kind of fun.

Dear Deidra,

   It's your future self here. Hi, hello. Just so you know, you made it an entire year. Yupp, that's right, still alive and well. Actually, you're doing pretty good. Remember how you said you were a big procrastinator, and that you were going to fix that? Well, you don't. You don't even really try. In fact, it gets a lot worse. Here's a tip: try starting your work as soon as you get it. Do not put it off until the night before it's due. And don't start studying for your exams at 10 o'clock the night before, either. It really doesn't do you any good. 

   You get into university, by the way. It takes a while, because things didn't go through properly or something, but it happens. Also, you find out on your birthday (surprise!) and you kind of freak out. Can you please not do that? In hindsight, it was really strange. Again, stop with the procrastinating. The parents are really angry about it.

   On the bright side, you have a really good year (after the New Year's thing, of course. But I'll let you handle that). Just so you know, he's an awesome guy. Don't worry about it, and try not to be awkward. 

   You've got a big year ahead of you, in more ways than you think. Keep your chin up, and as always, don't forget to be awesome.

      Yours truly,

You.

      So there we have it. A terrible letter filled with too much warning, but I wouldn't listen to myself anyway. Hope you are all good and well. Enjoy the weekend. And don't forget to be awesome!

I don't care what anyone says, Dean is my new baby.

Almost forgot to post today even though I had the whole day off school. Or maybe that's the reason why... either way, my week has been so-so. Exams are coming up soon and I have two ISUs due as well. to top it all off I have been sick the last couple of days. But I think I'm over it now. I feel a lot better.

I enjoyed my day off today and my half day yesterday. I watched a bunch of movies, read some manga, suntanned a bit and even baked some cookies. Mostly I just slept lots to try and recover though.

Kate, comparing Hawking and Einstein is really hard. I'm not really sure who would be the better scientist, but I think I like Einstein better just because of reasons.

Kira, I've never actually played paintball before. It seems fun, but also something that I would be really bad at. I hope to try it at some time though.

Glad to hear from you again Campion. Good luck with your filming, I hope it goes well. I don't think our school has any rumours about it at all, it's pretty boring really. Sadly, I did not follow the advice you gave us a while ago and I watched Mega Shark Vs Giant Octopus. You were right it was terrible. But I had to watch it, just to see for myself.

Deidra, the animated movie I'm most looking forward to is probably Brave, it seems like it'll be a really good one. As for my favourite animated movie god that's a hard question, I like so many... well I do like Fantastic Mr Fox (stop motion animation) but I also like Howl's Moving Castle. Or WALL-E. Or Nightmare Before Christmas. Or a million others.

Oh yeah, I started watching Supernatural. I'm only on season two so far, about half way through. I used to watch episodes sporadically on TV so I kind of know some things that will happen, but I'm finally going to watch everything now. Sam used to be my favourite character, but now I'm leaning way more towards Dean.

I'm kind of randomly in the mood to write a letter to someone, but I wouldn't know who I should write to or even what I would write about really. I just feel like I haven't written a letter to anyone in a really really long time.

DFTBA
