Timezones Are No Fun

   I really have no energy or excitement to write today. I have caught a stupid cold, and during summer of all times! It's all nice and warm outside, and the pool is all sparkling blue and inviting, but I can't do anything because I'm sleepy and drowsy and my head is all stuffed up with tiny chickens. I'm now just facing the tail end of it, but it's still really annoying. I haven't been sick during the summer since I was at least ten years old.

   Anyway, today is a special day because it is Campion's birthday! Well, technically it is and it isn't, but only because timezones are so confusing. Anyway, it is for me here, so Happy Birthday Campion! I hope you had a good day, despite your seeming dislike for the day, and here is a special Internet treat from us to you. Six cupcakes from your six blogging companions. Hope you like .jpeg flavour. 



   Kira, I must say that I am a Microsoft person, only because I have never had or used Apple. I have heard people say it is better for video and music stuff, and since I am not really into those types of things, I see no real need to try Apple. That, and I know how to use Microsoft, and I don't take well to change.
   Congratulations Kate on getting into Pottermore. I personally don't really see any sense of rushing to get in early, as there will be more than enough time once it officially opens. And then crashes due to high traffic. That, and I'm not really all that excited for it. Harry Potter was amazing, but I don't really think that an online 'world' will be able to measure up in any way to it. It seems more like something created to keep the fandom alive, and I believe that the fans would have been able to do that on their own.
   Katie, I am extremely jealous that you have all of those Pokémon cards! I used to have a few dozen, but I think my mom sold them in a garage sale a few years ago, which is really depressing now. I looked at the Doctor Cat comic, and it is really cute. Definitely one I will be following in the future. I think your idea for a mascot is great, and a Doctor Who Bear sounds cool. I will try to design something. Also, why do you want a rooster/chicken? Would you raise it as a pet, or for food in the future? (Which would suck since you named it and everything.)

   I read a few webcomics, Cyanide and Happiness being one of them. It may be offensive and depressing a lot of the time, but I think it also makes you look at the world in a different way. It kind of shows you the things that people don't like to think about because they are horrible, but the fact is they are there and they are true (for the most part). Another comic I read is Bug, which is really funny. It pretty much makes fun of the world through the eyes of a bug. This one has always been my favourite comic, mostly because it's basically the truth, and it references nerd-ism.

   I hope you guys have a good week, and don't forget to be awesome!

In which I write stuff

I'm back home for a week for two reasons. 1) We're having our annual yard sale which has been something of a tradition for as far back as I can remember. 2) This coming week my church does this thing for children called the Daily Vacation Bible School and I help out with making the snacks, decorations and crafts. Last year's theme was the high seas so we transformed the whole church into a big ship with a mast and everything. This year's theme is something about pandas so we're making the church into a bamboo forest.

Adam, what sort of farm do you live on? One with animals and stuff or just crops, or a mix of both? And that's cool that you're getting into vlogging and making trock, good luck with both of those things. Unfortunately, I don't really know any Canadian bands that aren't already well known. Though I do like IAMX and The Asteroids Galaxy Tour if you haven't heard of them (neither is Canadian).

Katie, I've heard that Kinder Surprise Eggs were not available in the states, but not Mars Bars. I know how you feel about cleaning your room too, every year I have a massive 3-4 day spring cleaning of my room to purge all the unnecessary things and I usually give it away or sell it in our yard sale.

Kate, I've never had a scrapbook before just because I never would feel like making one. I do think they're pretty and a nice way to remember things, but I guess it's just not suited for me... because I'm so lazy or something.

Kira, that website was really cool! I went and checked out all the different subjects and sadly enough I ended up doing better in french than I did in english grammer (damn you grammer *shakes fist*). As for food: CHOCOLATE, chocolate is amazing! But if that doesn't count then I would say pasta, I love pasta of almost every kind.

Campion, I haven't seen the third Transformers yet, but I'm planning on it. I've enjoyed the first two movies, as you mentioned yourself, on a purely action and explosion sort of way.

Deidra, like you I am a generation one Pokemon fan, my original favourite pokemon was Butterfree just because it was a butterfly and I was obsessed with those when I was little. Now I'd have to say I like Gengar, Beedrill, and Tentacool. I'm not completely against the newer generations though because I have Pokemon Black and I adore Darumaka, Snivy, and Audino from there.

My flower sprouts. : ) They're only a couple cm high so far.

To bring this to an end I guess I'll just ask you guys about webcomics. Do you read any? Have any recommendations? Not even know/care what they are? I'll recommend three here: Hark! A Vagrant by Kate Beaton (a Canadian!) Her comics are usually funny and come along with little interesting history facts. Cyanide & Happiness by Kris, Rob, Matt, and Dave. It's very funny and should be taken with a grain of salt. Finally, Scandinavia and the World by Humon. I love the representation of Finland in this comic, he's probably my favourite character (that and his coat of arms is awesome). Check those out sometime if you're bored or in need of a laugh.
