Haha, didn't actually mean to leave my post so late this time, but then my parents convinced me to go watch a movie with them. So we ended up watching Little Women, which I have not read the novel to, but it was very good none the less.
My week has been going pretty great if I do say so myself. It's been really nice having this time off from school, even though I do still have some work to do for it. And the weather has been really nice so far, very sunny and warm. A lot of the snow is starting to melt off which is nice even if I have no doubt we'll be getting a huge snowstorm again around the end of the month.
I went to see this musical (my first musical!) on Wednesday called Fiddler on the Roof. It was really really awesome. I loved the music for it and the story line was really good, the main character had me laughing a lot. I can't get the very first song, Tradition, out of my head.
Oh, another good piece of news: I've got an apartment in Ottawa now. I am going to be roommates with my sister, which is nice. We found a pretty decent place that I think will be liveable. My sister will be moving in there at the end of April and some of my stuff will go in then too, but I don't expect to actually move in until August probably.
Katie, I've never read Catcher in the Rye, but it is definitely on my to read list. I've only been to two concerts in my life one for Metric and one for Marianas Trench. They were both during the same week so they're both pretty memorable, but since Marianas Trench was more my favourite band at the time I would have to say that it is the most memorable. The music was great, Josh was really funny, they came on the stage dressed as ninjas, it was Ian's birthday that day so they all wore shirts with his face on it, and one girl threw a bra at Josh and he wore it for a while. I've never really emailed my teachers even though I'm usually on good terms with them. It just really isn't something that happens a lot at our school I think.
Kira, I don't really get migraines at all, I don't even get headaches either unless I've been reading nonstop for too long. It must suck that you get them. Hopefully they don't bother you too badly.
Deidra, I have to say that "I work better under pressure" has got to be the motto of procrastinators. I have used it a couple times as well and really thinking about it I don't think its true. At least not for 100% of the people that say it. They just do because they want to justify leaving things to the last minute.
Anyway ta-ta for now,
DFTBA

100th Post
I don't know why, but this week has been very tiring. I even went to bed really early one night, and that didn't help. I am so thankful that this weekend will be a three day weekend for me, because I definetely need it. Not only to sleep, but to get some work done.
Stickaid was amazing. I woke up at 6:00am, to realize that I had messed up and gotten the time wrong. So I went back to sleep for an hour and half, and woke to see Myles snarfing a Kinder egg. It was a good beginning. I really liked the way it was done this year, with multiple co-hosts each with their own activities and such, as opposed to last year, where it was just Myles and Charlie and random people popped in and out.
My favourite co-hosts were the RH Experience, Connor, Luke and Tom. They were just hilarious. I think I missed a segment of theirs, but what I did see made me laugh so much. It was funny to see them do the Kinder challenge together. I also loved it when Charlie did his challenges. It was like watching all of the videos over again, but with even more awesome.
Thank you again Kayla for your awesome drawing. Oshawott would most definetely be my starter if I had that Pokémon version game. I have always been a water trainer. And Oshawott is the cutest of this generations starters. Snivy is alright, and so is Tepig, but they don't match up to the awesome-ness of Oshawott.
Adam, the longest car ride I've taken recently was a 2-day car trip to Saskatchewan to visit my Grandparents. It was really long and boring, mostly because I was in the backseat with my sister the entire drive. Canada is really vast, and I would not want to drive the entire way. Also, good luck with your song. Keep at it, you will get it eventually. =)
Katie, that is actually a really good quote. I think it means that it is easier to understand others and their motivations, but it is difficult to understand yourself. It is easier to like others, and open up to them, but it is more difficult to like and accept yourself. I hope you are feeling better, and that tiny chickens aren't invading your head.
I'm with you, Kate. I want the second half of the year to be here already. That is when my more interesting classes are, and it would also mean being closer to graduation. This semester just doesn't seem to be going by fast enough. Also, congrats at staying up and watching all of Stickaid. I decided to go to sleep at midnight my time and get up to watch the final hour and a half. It was worth it, as the last bit was amazing, and I wasn't as tired to do m homework on Sunday.
Kira, I actually really like Granola bars. I don't find them dry or nasty. They are chewy, chocolate-y awesome-ness. And, woo French homework. Je t'aime français. I took it in grade nine and grade ten. I would have taken it again, but there weren't enough students to get a grade eleven class together. Oh well.

Campion, that is a Granola bar. They are amazing, trust me. Though not as good as porridge and brown sugar. Don't worry about my schedule, it's a minor clock in my room that is set to NZT. My main alarm clock is still set to me time. Though personally I don't use clocks, I use my cellphone mostly to check the time and to wake up in the morning. Also, the weather here has been nice this week, which has been really pleasant. I hope your exams are going/went well.
Anyway, I've procrastinated my homework enough with this post. I watched the last episode of Doctor Who, taking a break from Stickaid, and now I don't know what I'm going to do with my Saturday nights. Any suggestions? Don't forget to be awesome!!

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!

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.
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.

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.
Living LowSoft 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.

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!

Quick
I must say the first day of school didn't go as bad as I thought it might. It was quite nice to see all of my friends again, and to finally be able to see the work they have been doing inside the school. I am already not enjoying being back, though. Getting up early in the morning has never been a favourite thing of mine, especially not to go to school.
My classes have been so-so. I have since quitted my math class, because after two days of it I just wanted to hide in my closet and forget everything I'd ever learned about it, just to have an excuse to never do it again (though I'm quite sure that would not help). I have changed it for some type of online history course, to do with Canadian cutlure and identity. It sounds like a good idea now, but I'm sure I will be regretting it in the near future.
But I have spent most of the evening writing a stupid essay (that took me forever to start, because I suck at beginnings) so I will post my first short post, and hopefully be able to write a longer one next week.
Campion, hope exams are going/went well. Adam, I really hope college is all you've hoped it would be, and that you are settling in well. Katie, sorry to hear about your mad panda drive search, I do stuff like that, mostly with my glasses. Put those things down for a second and then *bam*, total confusion (not to mention blurry vision while searching). Kate, I would love to be able to read Alaska for English class, but sadly it was not on the accepted reading list for the studies. So I'm doing the Stone Angel. I hope it will be good. I'm so sorry to hear about your sweater, Kira. I don't know what I would do if I ripped my favourite sweater (probably scream). I have not had it as long as you have had yours, but it is my comfort when I am upset.
Anywho, have a good week everyone, and don't forget to be awesome!

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!

Nightmarish
I am a big procrastinator. This can be backed up by the fact that I was nearly 17 when I finally got my beginners driver's license. Because of that, I spent the past four days of my lovely relaxing summer stuck in driving school. I have little interest in actually driving. I passed my test in mid-March, and have only driven twice. Now I have to drive with an instructor, and be actually good and not kill anyone. Not that I did that the first times.
Driving just isn't all that exciting to me. I mean sure, I could go where I wanted, once I passed everything and such, but I live in such a small place that there is nowhere to go to. I could drive to Kayla's, which is usually a long drive for my parents, since she lives in the next town over, a half hours drive. But we see each other at school. And if I wanted to go somewhere in town, which I never do because I'm such a loner, I could just walk.
Now my parents are done putting up with my procrastination. Driving lessons are coming, and my mom wants them done real soon. She's getting all control-freaky about everything. I mean, its not like she's ever asked me if I wanted to drive the car or anything.
Anyway, since I've been busy with that, I haven't really had any time to think about designs for a Doctor Who bear, but it is on my to-do list now. I'm trying to think of a way to incorporate the three doctors from the newest seasons, since they are the only ones I really know, but also because I love them.
I used to be more sporty when I was in elementary school, where I played on all the teams except for track and cross country, because I hated them. Since I've gotten into high school though, I've given up playing sports, partly because I don't like the way they are done, and partly because there is so much more work now then there used to be.
Welcome back Kira! It's good to hear that you a nice time. Also, congrats on getting into Pottermore early. I like the sound of your user name, mostly because it has the Lumos spell in it. I always loved that one.
The rules of that game sound extremely complicated Campion. I have no idea how in the heck you manage to actually play it. I think I would constantly be asking questions, and it would not be enjoyable at all. It would probably be more entertaining to watch, though. I don't have a YouTube channel that I post anything on. I tried doing something a while back, but I was too shy to really get anything. I'm not really the type of person to share like that. I'm much better with words, as you can clearly tell from my mile long posts. I do like watching vlogs though. They are a great way to get to know people.
Anyway, it's getting late because I completely forgot it was Thursday and Kayla had to remind me, so I'm going to go and sleep and have nightmares about driving and whatnot. So dftba and stuff.

Welcome back Kira! It's good to hear that you a nice time. Also, congrats on getting into Pottermore early. I like the sound of your user name, mostly because it has the Lumos spell in it. I always loved that one.
The rules of that game sound extremely complicated Campion. I have no idea how in the heck you manage to actually play it. I think I would constantly be asking questions, and it would not be enjoyable at all. It would probably be more entertaining to watch, though. I don't have a YouTube channel that I post anything on. I tried doing something a while back, but I was too shy to really get anything. I'm not really the type of person to share like that. I'm much better with words, as you can clearly tell from my mile long posts. I do like watching vlogs though. They are a great way to get to know people.
Anyway, it's getting late because I completely forgot it was Thursday and Kayla had to remind me, so I'm going to go and sleep and have nightmares about driving and whatnot. So dftba and stuff.

Procrastination is one of my biggest motivators.
Campion brought up a very good point in his post on wednesday. Summer break for me is probably the time of the year when I get the least amount of things done despite all the free time to do it. During the school year I'm constantly putting off doing homework to do other things, but as soon as summer comes it's like I can't think of anything I want to do besides lay around or go swimming. Maybe it's the heat, I don't know.
I did get to go strawberry picking with my family a couple days ago, though, so now we have lots of fresh berries to eat. I planted some dwarf sunflowers a while ago and they are finally starting to sprout. I'm not very good at taking care of plants (I usually end up killing them by over or underwatering them) so I hope that these will survive. I also ended up reading Zombies vs. Unicorns, Divergent, one smaller book and four volumes of manga in the past week. Z vs. U was a really good book, I like how it was a bunch of separate short stories and you should check it out if you haven't already. Also looking back I realize in my first post I said team unicorn, but I think I've converted.
Katie: I am a huge animal fan so I'm not sure I have a favourite, but I do really like polar bears (is that cliche for a Canadian?). The only time I've seen them in a zoo was a long time ago in Winnipeg and it was so hot that summer that I felt really bad for it. Zoos in general kind of make me sad.
Kira: I got into Harry Potter first through the movies when I was little. I ended up reading the fourth novel first because I was little and I wanted to read the biggest book that I could find that still looked interesting and that was it. After that I went back and reread the whole series start to finish. That was when all the books had already been released so I didn't care when the last book came out. My sister did though and when she bought it and finished reading it I immediately went and read the "19 years later" section at the end because I figured I would never read the books anyways. Oh how wrong I was.
*minor movie spoilers ahead*
As predicted I did cry lots during the movie. It was really good though, I really have no complaints except for them not actually showing Fred's death scene. My favourite part was when McGonagall called the statues to arms, I was probably as excited as her when she did that. Snape's story affected me more from the movie than when I read it in the book I have to admit and his death made me cringe and cry. Neville made me smile whenever I saw him because I was thinking about how much he'd changed, especially when he was facing the werewolves. And at the very end of the movie I couldn't help but think, "Oh my god, Harry's son has Justin Bieber hair..." It made me shake my head and sigh.
DFTBA

P.S. Thumbs up for Green Day, they rock!
P.P.S. Do you guys think I write too much? I feel like I write too much, but I'm not sure if I can help it...
