Sunday Post Week 9: VlogBrothers

OK, I feel like a bad person right now, buuut... Who are the VlogBrothers?  That's right, I have absolutely NO idea who they are... :-/   Urf... No clue about NerdFighters, either.  Gah...  I should go find them just so I actually have something to write about, but I'm supposed to be designing my pumpkin right now, as we are carving them in about five minutes...  And so, with another very short post, I shall leave you with the promise that I will look them up and re-post later tonight.

AAAAAHHHHHHHHIKNOWIT'SSUNDAYBUTI'MPOSTINGANYWAYSI'MSORRY!!!

Ok, so if you can't read the title because of the lack of spaces, basically I'M REALLY SORRY I TOTALLY FORGOT TO POST AND I'M REALLY SORRY I HOPE IT'S OK THAT I'M POSTING NOW!?? 

So the reason I didn't post is because of two extremely nerdy things. Number one: for my Spanish class my teacher decided to get into the spirit of Halloween and Day of the Dead and have everyone in her class make a tombstone for a person... Although she never said they had to be dead... Creepy. ANYWAYS! I chose to make a grave for, but who else? DUMBLEDORE! Since I couldn't make the whole tomb I just made a headstone but it is still pretty frakkin' cool... And gruesome, just a little gruesome.  Number two is that I was making my Halloween costume. I'm going to be a Rubik's Cube. So I've been transforming a cardboard box into a fabulously fun intellectual puzzle all night. Some might say I'm a nerd... But HEY! That's why I'm typing this blog post! :P

Ok, on to the VlogBrothers. I started watching in '09 too but before I allowed myself to start watching new vlogs I told myself I had to go back and watch all of the old ones. So I did. 'Twas an extremely fun way to spend a month of my summer. For a while there my favorite brother was John... Actually I think he still is. I lie to think that I like them both equally but I just relate more to John. That being said I just like him about 1 maybe 2% more then Hank so really, it's almost fair. Ironically enough this is the week where I would have a TON to say but I can't because I'm very, very tired. So I think I have to leave you guys now. :( Oh, one more thing, Louise, if you get the chance read one of John's books because FRENCH THE LLAMA there fantastic.

I guess since they're the reason we're here...

No matter our views on subjects like music, movies or books, we all have one thing in common(Well, two...since we're all girls xD) we all watch the VlogBorthers. So I think it's high time we gave them a mention! so this week let's talk brotherhood 2.0, decreasing world suck and everything NerdFighteria!

So I started watching the brothers in September 2009(so just over a year) and yes...I have backtracked all the videos. I haven't read a John Green book yet, which really annoys me, but I will next summer; when I actually have the time, and yes...I do have a favourite Green brother...that's all I'm going to say right now...I'll see you all on Tuesday.

Im meleth salch...

So as a few of you'll know/remember...I'm busy learning Elvish(the Quenyan dialect). My favorite phrase is "im meleth le" (-I love you)  And a few of you'll know/remember that I started college at the beginning of September...

...I don't have any friends there, I don't talk to people, I sit by myself and listen to placebo(but i do get the metro on a morning, with a girl from my class) well the other week I was forced to sit with a group of people from my class, whilst I worked...people didn't know who I was so we got talking, and I was all "well...urm...yeah, I'm just Louise, Trekkie, lostie and general nerd. I say dftba, and quote things way too much...I'm rather creepy and actually do live through my computer...so...yeah" and they gave the look of "WHAT THE FRICK IS THIS CHICK ON ABOUT!?"...I decided to put my head down and just get on with my work; then when everybody had started to get back to work again...and the table was relitavly quite; I just started saying a load of elvish stuff, I don't remember what I said...or how it'd even stuck in my mind...but it did, and I was all...'AWHUTNAO!?' but I was just so proud of myself. I guess that's my nerdiest moment...I think... xD

I write short posts now D: I promise they'll start to get longer again...I hope.

Looooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggg day...

Oh my god it seems like today was just so freaking long. Maybe because I didn't get any caffeine in my system all day so I was just like really sluggish. Btw my dedication to this blog is amazing because while I was at lunch I started writing my post on my phone, but it didn't quite work out.
  Anyway, my nerdiest moment was... I really can't pick one since I'm nerdy like all the time. I read instead of watching TV and at least four hours of my day is spent watching youtube videos/on nerdfighters. If I had to choose I guess it was Saturday when I was walking around downtown with my friends and I saw Borders. I literally just stopped and stared at it because it's like the best Borders I've ever been to and my friends were just staring at me like I was crazy. Also I have an impulse to just yell out "Borders!" every time we pass one.
  Yep so this post is gonna be very short because I have to IM with my partner for our semester project. Okays so I'm out.

Monday, Monday, Monday...

I almost forgot about this...
But, I didn't!

What is my nerdiest moment? It doesn't seem like any of us know what our nerdiest moments are, and neither do I. My nerdiest moment might be the moment I decided that I wanted to be a librarian (I want to be a librarian by the way.) It could be all of the moments that I did anything Twilight or Dr Who... I'm not really sure I can pinpoint one moment that is nerdiest of all, because every moment of my  life is nerdy. Wether I'm try to teach myself the lap harp, arguing about the validity of lucid dreaming, creeping on my long time crush's Facebook, having absolutely no social life, fangirling about Charlie McDonnel, sewing my own Halloween costumes, reading John Green, watching Vlogbrothers, making videos on Youtube with my best friend, reading comic books, watching old Brat Pack movies, nineties movies, or a host of other things.

I don't really have much else to say this week. My Halloween costume is coming together well and I'm really excited this year.

Don't forget to be awesome, ladies.

Sunday Post week 8 (?): Nerd Moments

Well, I will be completely honest, I have NOOOO idea what my 'nerdiest moment' was...  Probably when my best friend and I fangirled over our science homework.  Here's why: [link].  I have had a LOT of nerd-out moments, but this is one of the few that I remember.  Another one was MUCH more recent.  A couple of my friends and I were standing around in the halls, and one of them mentioned how she hadn't seen the The Last Airbender yet, and I went into a full-blown rant about how bad it was.  My other friend then decided that we were going to his house and having a critic session together. XD  This is going to be fun. :p  Anyways, sorry to be short, but I have Hell Week (for those of you who don't know what that is, it's a theatre term referring to tech week, which is where you use props, lighting, and sound for the first time, and are on set until about 10:00 at night. -_- ugh).  Thankfully we have no classes tomorrow, but still... It's going to be a long week, and the person I depend on most is going to Washington DC for the entire week. DX

Title.

Hi there. 

Ok, so I have ABSOLUTELY no idea what my nerdiest moment is/was/will be! I think my whole life is pretty nerdy! I mean, I have no social life, the book store is my favorite place, I mostly talk Harry Potter with my irl friends, and I spend a lot of my time receiving strange looks for doing exceeding nerdy things! I love have intellectual/book debates and sometimes I get really excited and start to yell out my points... So maybe one of those moments? YES!! I have left Nerdfighter notes in John Green books! I was in a Barn's and Noble and I felt like such a BA!!! It is a thrilling feeling. :P Basically they just said something like "Dear Nerdfighter, You are made of Awesome. DFTBA, A fellow Nerdfighter." and then on the back I wrote "Don't know what a Nerdfighter is? Check out www.nerdfighters.com and find out!"

It's fun to spread the awesome.

DFTBA,

Spiegs

Why do I have to forget thins

I love it when I get brilliant theme ideas, then they just pop out of my head when I come to write the post. :@ I'll just think of a new one

So..heres an idea...what was your most nerdiest moment? 
I have 4 or 5 days to  think of mine, for Tuesday, but I seriously have no idea what it'll be yet D:

OH and I have another question for you guys...have you ever left nerdfighter notes in books? Like in libraries and book stores? Me and my friend are gonna go do it soon, so I was wondering if you guys had any like ideas for notes and stuff...yeah...bye xD

“The best thing about dreams is that fleeting moment, when you are between asleep and awake, when you don't know the difference between reality and fantasy, when for just that one moment you feel with your entire soul that the dream is reality, and it really happened.”

I must say, this weeks topic is an amazing one as I have loads to say on the topic of dreams. 

The meaning behind our dreams, in my opinion, are our feelings, thoughts and fears etc. which we have during our normal lives; watching a horror film, or worrying about something a lot also affects our dreams. I also think dreams reflect inner fears, and our ambitions for the future. 

But no, I do not think that dreams tell the future...if that were the case, life would be so much more interesting. 

I don't really have a best dream cause all my dreams are kinda kick ass so it's hard to distinguish, and I've forgotten my scariest dream but I may have told my friends about it so I'm going to have to look through my messages and stuff. 

OH. I just remembered two of my scariest dreams. One of them is a recurring dream, and I can't really remember the details but I'll try. I'm trapped in a ball room with loads of people, and there are witches and trolls and stuff everywhere. And we attempt to run away quietly so as not to attract the attention of the witches, but as I'm nearing the exit, where there is a fountain, someone sees a group of us and we get captured again or I jump into the fountain, or we all just run for our lives and some of us get killed - the ending changes, but the beginning and middle are always the same, and I wake up feeling real scared :/

This one is more recent. I was back in Hong Kong, again, and I was going to be late for the bus, but I left my sport shoes at home. I run back home, and then back to the bus stop, but somehow I loose my ability to run and end up panicking and stuff. Eventually, I get to the bus stop and the bus takes us to the forest in the middle of nowhere, where I become friends with an animal. He tells me about this really dangerous animal in the forest, and we follow it around till I come to the conclusion that it changes its shape depending on it's surrounding - it was like a Chameleon but instead of changing colour, it changes its form, so yeah. And I decided to follow it, and it went underwater cause it was waiting for a bunch of dolphins to come so it could kill it, and as I was swimming down to the bottom of the sea, the voice in my head was talking in a really creepy voice. :/ Then I got to its lair and there were three tunnels, and it was all very tension-y, and I was looking for the middle, where the three tunnels joined together, and I sat there waiting for the creature, and when it came, it didn't see me at first, but then it did and then I jumped down and ended up in a cave where there was this man with glasses, and I tried running away but I was unable to. :( 

I'm remembering all of my awesomest dreams as I'm writing this, so be prepared for a whole load of my dreams. Another one, which I had when I was back in the 6th grade or so, is that this giant robot came to my school and started shooting at us and it chased us to a Shopping Centre where we purchased some guns and started shooting at it - I've had this dream like, 3 times now. 

One dream I had which I found to be very interesting was set in Hong Kong. Like, I was leaving school and I decided to take a shortcut which ended up trapping me in this other world with witches and stuff, and as I was trying to get out, I met Voldemort and he began chasing after me, and I ended up in the place where I used to live and I kept running away from him and he was literally everywhere, and I ended up hiding behind a Mickey Mouse shaped bush. 

ANOTHER dream I had which was Voldemort related was a dream where I had to travel the world in search of puzzle pieces which would somehow help me destroy him.

And I have loads of dreams which involve me running around in the place where I used to live in Hong Kong. I've also had dreams where I kill myself, dreams where I kill other people, dreams where people I love die, etc. This is going to be a very long post xD. I also once had a dream that I destroyed a whole church, trying to hunt down the priest, - the church was in another world - and when I got back to THIS world, I met up with my dad and we were about to go home when I saw all the Bundesliga football teams walk by me, and they were having a parade thing and I got their signatures. (: 

Last night I dreamt about camping out in the wild and I ended up burning my face off. And nearly falling off my cabinet, into a swimming pool. Night before that, I dreamt that my dad lost his wallet, and we realised that as we were floating in mid air... 

 Oh, one of my best dreams? Involved David Tennant. We were on holiday somewhere in the middle of nowhere, and there was this old house, and I went to check it out cause I was trying to find out who was going to destroy the earth, and there I found this huge ass spider, and an alien insect which threw up on me, and it's vomit spelled out Sontar, so then I realised that the aliens were Sontarans. So I got in my cool yellow Lamborghini and drove to the city centre, and the car seemed to know where it was taking me. It stopped outside a hospital/shoe shop, and the nurses were complaining that the medicine they were giving the children weren't working like they used to. SO THEN THE DOCTOR SHOWED UP and talked to the nurses, and as he was leaving, I grabbed his hand and I told him all about the Sontaran's plan of destroying the earth. Then we all went to have an ice cream, but suddenly everyone wearing green, black or white started spazzing, and I told my friend to not let them touch her, but then she got touched - she was part time lord - and she too started spazzing, so I told the Doctor not to get touched, but then he got touched, and me and some other people went into the Sontaran headquarter place, where we found out that they were turning people into werewolves and these little kids started shooting us with water balloons. I had another Doctor Who related dream, but it's too long so I won't get into the details. I also dreamt about getting kidnapped, and being sold as a slave. 

What else...what else...oh, I also dreamt about being kissed by Charlie McDonnell, on a train which was taking us to our deaths! (: I have seriously awesome dreams. Last week, I dreamt that, whilst playing a game where you have to survive on a bridge for as long as you can, my best friend got hit by a truck and her head came off. Then my previous tennis coach began cutting all the ropes off the bridge, and then I woke up. 

Oh, and sometimes when I'm dreaming, my vision becomes blurry, so like..I can't see things clearly in my dream, which suck, and other times my vision is clear as hell, that sometimes I wake up and wonder if I really was dreaming, cause it was all so life like. Oh, and I also have dreams where I jump up to grab a pole, and spin around it, and I can't stop spinning, so I keep on spinning and spinning and spinning until I finally give up, let go of the pole and die.

Oh, and to answer your question Spiegs, I dream in colour. I think. ..whoah, I just confused myself.  

Thinking about all my dreams makes me realise that my dreams are waay extreme. 

It was really fun writing that all out. xD

dftba!  x

"I have had dreams and I have had nightmares, but I have conquered my nightmares because of my dreams."

Okay, first I just want to apologize to everyone for missing my day last week, but my parents took my computer and my phone and any access to the internet I could have because I got a D in English on my progress report. I got it back like Sunday, but I didn't want to just post on Victoria's day.
  So the theme for this week is dreams. Yes I believe in them, but I don't think they tell the future(I sometimes wish they did though). I think that dreams sort of lets your mind think about all the things you wouldn't normally think about. Dreams just lets your mind be free to explore different possibilities.
  The best dream I've ever had was that I was downtown with my best friend and we met Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy. So that was pretty awesome and I really wish that that would really happen since I know he's from Chicago.
  The weirdest dream I ever had was that my house was under siege. First I was at school then like they took everyone out of the school and then we were under this tarp as trucks rolled around with people trying to attack us. Then when I got home like there was kids and adults hiding in the rooms everywhere. In my house my room is all the way in the back pass the kitchen, by the back door so I had to go back there and check on the people hiding in my room. I checked on my grandma since her room is right beside mine then I saw this blond guy at the door. Oddly enough he was the guy from Nexus on wrestling and I hate him so freaking much. So then I closed the door and ran into my room. I heard him say something like they know we're here so they closed the door. So then he like broke in and I actually like watched them threaten to kill my grandmother so then I was like about to stop them, but then I woke up.
  Now that I think about it maybe that was my thoughts from watching the movie Hotel Rwanda. Which was seriously scaring for me to just watch them kill innocent people because of some label.
  Ok anyway question: Did anyone else wear purple today (October 20) for the six homosexual kids that committed suicide? Cause me and a lot of people at my school were wearing purple, plus a few teachers so I thought that it was really cool.
  Oh and to Spiegs from like two weeks ago, you go to Walter Payton. That's like my school's rival, but my friend Ariel goes there.
  So that's all for this week people.

Dreaming of what I need us to be.

So dreams? Oh dreams...the things they've gotten me through, thinking of the dreams I've had...and the ones that you think 'did that really happen, or was it a dream?' when you think back on them.

So dreams? I don't quite think they tell the future, I think they tell you what you actually want. I think they can take your fears/hopes/dreams and mush them up into this...this thing you can't quite explain. I think, they play out what ould happen, if you keep on the course of decisions that you're currently on.

oooh, my Best dream? I had it last summer...it was that this guy, Christopher(Who I ended up goign out with, in November-January) had asked me out, and he walked me home, and we kissed, and his picked me up and swung me round ^^' It's cheesy. But I like it. No, I loved it.

My worst? The guy from jeepers creepers was chasing me around iceland. Not the country. The store XD

Yeah, this one has to be real short :/ I have a load of work to do.

Dreaming of the perfect Monday.

Okay, I'm doing this on my iPod because our wifi catcher is broken on our computer. What this means is that my post probably won't be very long today.
On the subject if dreams, it's really hard for me to remember my dreams so my post might not be as cool as some other peoples. But, I'll try. I sometimes dream in black and white, and sometimes color. The one time I dreamed in black and white I was also a cartoon. In my dream I was the little girl on the old campbells soup advertisements. I was walking around in one of th very old Mickey mouse cartoons when suddenly I fell into static like you get when you finish a video cassette.
My best dream is a tie between two dreams. One of the dreams is where I got to the Yule Ball at Hogwarts. And Ron, Hermione, and Harry were there. I was having an awesome time when the bell tower started ringing and I had to go back to being a muggle, it was like Cinderella. The other dream is a dream where I was in a video game. I don't remember it well but it was really awesome and full of neon colors.
My worst dreams are three different dreams. The first one is a dream where I'm going to the bathroom and I turn into a mouse and I fall into the toilet and get flushed down into a world where I'm being chased by Jafar when he is an evil genie and I run into a big white mansion and try to phone my mom only to find that he owner of the mansion is a white version of him. Then they chase me across a bridge and I can't run fast enough. Just as he's about to bite me I wake up. The dream doesn't seem very scary but it was the nightmare I always had as a little girl. I've always been afraid of Jafar since then. The second scary dream I have is one where I'm at the mall with a male friend and suddenly everyone is gone and the lights shut of and I hear this really feminine giggle and Michael Jackson appears. He locks all the doors and tells me I'm there to be his wife. At one point he goes into this room and we escape and hide in a cooking school. He's about to find me when I wake up. The last dream and the most upsetting one is a dream I've had twice. In the first dream my parents (only they weren't my parents) and best friend (she was different too)are brutally murdered. The second time I dreamed it I knew it was a dream and tried to fix it but they still ended up dying. Also, the second time I dreamed it I had two best friends (my real best friend and the girl from before)
On another topic, in my dreams I invent people. Like sometimes I dream of real people and other times I dream of people who I've never met but I always know who they are. Do any of you ever do this?
Also I sometimes do this thing called lucid dreaming where you are aware you're dreaming and can control what happens. I'm too lazy to explain further since I'm on my iPod. I linked to it if you want to learn more about it.
That's all for me.
DFTBA - Emilie

Sunday Post Week 7: Dreams

Do I believe in dreams?  Yes.  I have them quite often. 

Do I believe they tell what you want, or your future, or anything?  Meh...  Sometimes.  Depends on the dream.  I've had dreams where the next day, things happen EXACTLY as they had in the dream.

Best dream? Getting a bit personal, aren't we?  Ummmm... I'd have to say one of my more recent ones was the best... My dreams generally aren't very good... Anyways, my best dream in a while was... Wierd.  I was attending my own funeral, and all of my friends were there, and they were crying, as expected, and my best friend went up to give a speech, and they basically said that I shouldn't have died that young, and that it just wasn't fair, and that there were so many who had loved me who would miss me, and then they reached into my casket, dragged out my body, and started performing CPR...  >_>  Apparantly, it was like in the Buffy episode where The Master drowned Buffy, but she was revived...  And so I was alive again, and yeah... It was pretty wierd, but awesome, cuz I got to see my own funeral.

The scariest one I've had is a reocurring one that I have at least once a week...  I'm just falling...  Everything's black, and I'm just falling...  It usually happens within five minutes of falling asleep, and I always wake up very startled and disoriented, and with my vision either fuzzy or gone altogether.  Like those little white and black splotches you see if you squeeze your eyes shut and then press on them with your thumbs.  Either that or the one  had when I was five with the man-eating pancakes... >_>  Yeaaahhhh...  I don't know either. =p

Another really creepy/scary one I had was, again, when I was five or six.  I was on a field trip with my class to the children's museum (or, at least, what was SUPPOSED to be the children's museum...), and there was this really cool jungle gym type thing, and me and my best friend decided to go in, and then when the rest of the class started to leave, we tried to get out, but all of the little play things came to life or something, and kept wrapping themselves around our arms and legs, keeping us trapped inside.

AAAND yet another creepy/scary dream!  I was in Honduras over the summer when this one came up...  We (and by we, I mean the 'beginner' group) were doing a deep dive (which you aren't even allowed to do until you're a 3rd year, I believe, soooo... :-/),  and when we got to the bottom of the drop-off, there was a huge swarm of jellyfish (much like the one in Finding Nemo, only much more intimidating) that seemed to be guarding something, with three sharks circling it.  Being the idiots that we are, we decided to go closer.  Turns out they were guarding the friend mentioned above (whose name is Grant, btw).  He was either in a trance-like state (like in Harry Potter 4), or he was quite dead.  At any rate, this freaked the crap out of me, and I had a full-blown mental breakdown then and there.  Then I woke up outside in the hammock to Moe's singing...

To answer Marisa's question, my dreams tend to be in color, but are occasionaly in grayscale or sepia. Sometimes they're tinted, and sometimes they're not. Sorry if that doesn't really answer it, buuuutttt...  I don't really know what else to say...

Anyways, I have to go now, so... Talk to you all next week! -Victoria

There once was a man from Peru; Who dreamed he was eating his shoe...

Hello there, 

This is a very thought provoking topic I've never really thought about it until now. 

First, do I think dreams have any meaning? Yes. I think a dream express what you can't bare to think about when you're awake. I believe dreams are those thoughts you push to the back of your mind because they make you feel too scared, or guilty, or sad to think about when you are in control of your thoughts. 

No, I don't think dreams tell your future. I think dreams anticipate your future. Does that make sense? I mean, when you're awake, you think about the next and whatnot, I think dreams are the same. I don't think dreams can TELL you what is going to happen for sure. They just reiterate what you think will happen, what you want to happen, or what you are dreading to happen. 

I have no idea what my best dream was because I never remember my good dreams! :O I always wake up feeling happy or content and that's how I know if I've had a good dream. But for my scariest dream... Oh my! I think I've mentioned this before but I have a horrible fear of Scar from The Lion King* So, in my dream Scar and Voldemort had teamed up and were chasing me around somewhere and that was pretty scary. Another scary one was one I had maybe two years ago, I was in school, but it wasn't my school and Harry, Ron, Hermione, and my old friend was there. The sky was red and all of a sudden a bomb went off. We all died but even though we were dead my friend and I had to dig our graves and jump on in. It was creepy. 

Ok, now it's time for my ALL TIME SCARIEST dream. Dun dun DAHHHH! My dad sister and I were in a minivan driving on a bridge, we were driving to my mother who as in the hospital and all of a sudden we drove off the bridge and I woke up. I fell back asleep only to be with my dad and my grandmother on a motorcycle with my grandmother driving... She drove us off a cliff. I woke up. So yup, those are my top scariest drems.

I have a dream related question for you guys. Do you dream in color or black & white? I'm not sure what I dream in though I pretty sure it's color. I just think it's kind of interesting. 

Ok, I know this isn't dream related but it has to be said! Last week I MET JOHN GREEN AND CRAIG BENZINE/WHEEZY WAITER! AHH! It's was so awesome! It was on 10/10/10 and at five-ish John did a book signing where 10/10/10 would be later that night. I met some AMAZING Nerdfighters and John is like the coolest person ever.

Ok, well time to go.

Sweet dreams tonight and DFTBA,

Marisa/Spiegs

*Tangent just to explain how big this fear is: In the 8th grade my teacher had a collection of fast food kids meal toys lining the shelves, windowsills, and chalkboard sills of his room. Everyday I sat down in the exact same seat, right in front of a bookshelf with a map right to the right of it. One day my teacher said "Please turn to face the map." I turned to face the map. On top of that bookshelf was a mini figurine of Scar just staring down at me. As soon as I saw 1) screamed 2) jumped 3) knocked the desk over and 4) ran to the other side of the room. My classmates seemed to find it funny. Anyways! Back to the top!

I hope this reaches the blog.

So it's Louise(a lil late) posting for bethanie...from my DSi. It doesn't like blogger, so I'm sending this directly to the blog, via hotmail :L

So this weeks theme? It comes from Natalia (:  
"Dreams" Do you believe in them? Like, that they have an actual meaning? Do you think they can tell your future? Whats the best onyou've had ^^? And the scariet :L?

I'm quite excited for this one, I'm gunna write  A LOT on tuesday. So I'll se you all then ^__^

Pancakes.

You know why I named this Pancakes? Because for the last twelve hours I have been craving pancakes like hell, and I HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY AND I WANT SOME SO BADLY.  I feel like such a kid, but hey, I'm only 14. 


ANYWAY Sci-Fi. 
Ohhey, one of my favourite books is apparently Sci-Fi [I just Wikipedia-d] (: 
MAXIMUM RIDE - [Yes, in big bold letters]
AHHH MY GOD. I love those books SO much. I don't think I've read every part, unfortunately, cause I borrowed them from the local library in Hong Kong and yeah. The only book I own is Fang, and I loved that book with all my heart. I cried at the end ): I love those books. LOVE THEM. 
YES! Another one of my favourite books ever is also Sci-Fi! WIN! Under the Dome - Stephen King. SUCH AN AMAZING BOOK. I cannot began to explain how amazing it was and how hooked I was to it...was AMAZING. Amazing. 


DOCTOR WHO! I love Doctor Who. To be honest, I only started loving it during the Summer, cause that was when I watched the 5 seasons in one go...and holywhakjdhksashit, the guy who recommend it to me...my saviour. Except he's a bit weird, so yeah..no. But still! I'd be talking to him whilst watching it, and every 5 seconds he'd get a message along the lines of "HASKJDHAKJSHA HOLYSHIT." I <3 Doctor Who. When I was younger, so like..3 years ago or something, when I was in the 7th grade, I watched this parody of Doctor Who performed by some guy, who I later on had a massive crush on. Me and my friends nickname for him..well, I don't know, I think it was Doctor backwards. Yeah. And then on the plane once I watched it and holycrap, <3<3<3. My favourite Doctor is, hands down, David Tennant. But Matt Smith is also pretty good. As was Christopher Eccleston. I cried a ton when watching Doomsday, and in Journey's End.. :( I got so upset. :L Yeah, Rose was my favourite companion, and I think Amy's probably number 2 on my list [tied with Captain Jack], followed by Donna, then Martha. 


STAR WARS. STAR WARS. OMGHAKJSDHAKJ. I love Star Wars. During Summer, I watched all six movies again - Yeah, I had a very boring Summer okay? :P - and holycraaappp. My other friend, who had very unfortunate timing cause he only ever began a conversation with me when I was in the middle of a Star Wars movie, also received a whole load of "HASDKJHAKJHSAKJSA HOLYCRAP THAT IS SO COOL." Yeah. I can't really decide which movie was my favourite, because they were all SO awesome. I think I'm going to go through all of them again soon someday. Was so good. I cried when watching that fight scene between Anakin and Obi-Wan. And it may seem like I cry a lot, but I don't...I really don't. It was just so touching. :( 
Obi-Wan: You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them. You were to bring balance to the force, not leave it in darkness. Anakin Skywalker: [shouts] I hate you. Obi-Wan: You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you. 


That bit, made me cry. ): 

Those two are my all time favourite characters ever. They are like, pwnage but like, so much more.

Anddd I think thats about it. I have nothing else to talk about. And I've been putting off eating my chips for like, 30 minutes now, and I can't wait any longer, I so sorry.

SO BYE LOVELY PEOPLE <3 

DFTBA xxx

OH AND BTW EMILIE. As Weeping Angels? Sweeeet! xD 

I'm so sorry! Let's pretend it's still Monday...

I'm so sorry my post wasn't up yesterday. My internet wasn't working so I couldn't do my blog, but I'm here now and that's what's up!

I've decided to do my post in sections because I like sci-fi books, tv shows, and movies.

Books- I love sci-fi books! Sci-fi/fantasy books were the only books I would read as a kid, and now that I've widened my scope, I still prefer sci-fi/fantasy! My favorite sci-fi books in middle school were the Uglies books, by Scott Westerfield. When I was a freshman in high school I started reading Twilight, which seems irrelevant, but really isn't. Because Stephenie Meyer wrote the Twilight saga, and she also wrote a little book called The Host. The Host is one of my favorite sci-fi books. Last year when I was a sophomore I really liked all of Douglas Adams' books, even though they are really sci-fi farces, they are definitely just really good and worth reading. Recently I just finished reading The Hunger Games, I really loved it. My best friend just gave me Catching Fire as a birthday present, but I haven't had time to start reading it. The one thing I really like about sci-fi books is how the people in them are taken out of their sci-fi world and thrown into the harshness of nature, it shows that even humans in such a high tech world can still survive in nature. Also, the action is great!
TV- One of my favorite tv channels is Sy-fy (I hate the fact that they changed it from Sci-Fi, btw) I don't have tv, so I can't really watch it a lot. I'm not really into Star Trek, though I'm sure I would be if I ever got a real chance to watch it. The sci-fi show I really love is Dr Who. I am absolutely, totally, forever, and always going to be obsessed with this show. I will never stop loving it. My brother has tried to get me into Torchwood, but I've always gone back to The Doctor. David Tennant is my favorite Doctor by far! Though, I'm starting to like Matt Smith a little more. My best friend (her name is Moriah, so whenever I mention her, something I'll probably do a lot, just know she's my bestest friend) and I are going to be Weeping Angels for Halloween this year! We're super pumped!
Movies- I also really like sci-fi movies. My favorites are Inception, The Matrix, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, The Fifth Element, and the X Men movies. I really like the action and the gadgets. It's sort of hard for me to get obsessed with movies because they are so short. But I was obsessed with Bill and Ted's forever. Even though Bill and Ted's isn't true sci-fi, it's still really good!

Now, I know this post is just supposed to be about sci-fi, but I just wanted to talk about a few more things.
My birthday was great! I got a decent amount of money, and quite a few gifts. I got a bike, a new phone, perfume, a camcorder, books, and that's about it. I saw Easy A with my friends and it was super funny. If you haven't seen it, I highly suggest it!
On another note, this week is homecoming week at my school. We've been having theme days every day and it's been really fun. Monday was character day and I dressed as Hermione Granger; today was old person day and I wore some of my grandma's clothes and put baby powder in my hair! Tomorrow is the PSAT, I'm really nervous because I want to do good so I can get scholarships. It's also college shirt day, and I don't have a college shirt so I might have to wear my stupid uniform. I really hope not.
Well, I guess that's all from me for now.

Sunday Post Week 6/Apology Note

DX  I'm soooooo sorry this wasn't in yesterday!  But I can explain!  So I had this post 3/4 finished, right?  And then Dad called me, and he said that I should turn on channel 64.  So I did.  And guess what was playing?!  Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan!!!  So I took a break from the post, and then fell asleep as soon as the credits were over, hence the post not being up.  So you see, I have a perfectly valid reason for it not being up.  And now for something completely different.

On the genre of science fiction, my knowledge is relatively limited.  I mean, Star Trek (TOS only), Star Wars, a bit of Firefly, Alien, Lord of the Rings, Back to the Future, and Doctor Who are the only REAL sci-fi's I've ever watched, buuutttt... On those subjects I am fairly well versed.  I don't really know what more to put here, soooo... I'll leave it at this, and possibly come back and add to it later... :-/

AHHHHHH 'tis Saturday!

Hey peeps, so this post is going to be kind of short because today is my sisters Bat Mitzvah... So I'm kind of busy getting my Jew on.
Anywayssssssss, time for the theme. To tell you all the truth I've never seen Star Wars, Star Trek, and I've never read Tolkien. (Actually that's not true. I read the first few chapters of The Hobbit but the my dyslexia was all "No! I wont let you read this"). But some general SciFi stuff, um lets see,  I read the first few Artemis Fowl books but I don't really remember them that well. Also, I've had the Ender's Game series recommended to me a couple of times but I haven't had the chance to read it. Have any of you read it??
Oh! One last thing, tomorrow I get to go to The Beckoning of Lovely!!! I uberly excited!

Ok I've really got to go now!
DFTBA,
Marisa (and for Louise's enjoyment, Spiegs)
PS- Aleta, I go to Walter Payton
PPS- Happy Birthday Emilie! I hope this year is the best one yet!

it feels so weird doing a friday post!!

First of all...Happy birthday Emilie!!
my sign is retarded. Sorry!

Okay...the theme.
(I have no idea how to word it so like...y'know)
Okay, so this Star Trek, Star Wars, Lord Of The Rings, etc. Y'know general fantasy/Sci-Fi stuff.
Sirry, I really haven't had much tie to sort this out properly D;

oh..and I have a new tumblr :B If you'd follow meh ^_^?  http://louiseio.tumblr.com
I've love you forever!

Okay, I'll see you guys on tuesday with my post ^_^

This is going to be very short.

Why? Because I have so much work to do and I want to sleep in an hour so yeah.
I have to do a shit load of Geo homework, which I don't mind cause I kinda really like geo. But I also have to pack my suitcase cause I'm going to be somewhere over the weekend...and shower, and pick out what to wear...and make another video for this channel I'm on ;D with Louiseeee (:

Cool yeah? ANYWAY TOMORROW IS THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL. THEN TWO WEEKS OF FREEDOM BABBYYYY!
And today, I got my Spanish test back and you know? YOU KNOW? I GOT A C AND A B FOR MY VOCAB TEST. And I'm kinda proud of me cause I suck at Spanish.

So yeah.
ANWYAY. I don't know what else to say.
I'm listening to a Gladbach song, so I'm not going to link that. Because..yeah.
Sorry that this is real short ):
I'm in a rush. So yeah. ):

Couldn't think of a good title.......

Today was like the most boring day of my life. Had to get to school before 7:50 because I had a "wonderful standardized test to take!" (the words of my dreadfully perky geometry teacher). It was a few hours then I got out at noon after starving in a freezing classroom. Yet even though I got out early I am still just getting home like an hour ago. First because me, my aunt and my mom argued over where to go for lunch before just deciding on pizza and then we sat outside my cousin's school waiting on him to come outside, next we went to get my brother from school. We had to get gas then go to the library then finally come home.
   Anyway last Friday was my homecoming and my team won against Lane Tech high school, um I think it was Spiegs that was from Chicago so maybe she knows that high school. Side note: Spiegs what high school do you go to? I go to Whitney Young so I was like just wondering if maybe you went there or another high school I know.
   Yeah so this was like very short because I completed got sidetracked with my side note so I forgot what else I wanted to say. Homecoming was awesome, the dance, game and pep rally. I'm looking for a job right now because I like having money which I really don't have right now, but it's really hard to find one at 15. I wanna work at Borders so badly and my mom finds it so weird that me and my best friend Alexus choose to go to Borders if we're asked where we want to go. The song that I'm listening to while writing this right now is this
 

I guess this is a busy week.

Monday: Rush to finish work.
Tuesday: Get assesed on first project, at college. Blog on here.
Wednesday: Do my personal blog.
Thursday: Start my extended project.
Friday:Find a job >_<

I seriously need a job. Especially with christmass in a few months. I already started my shopping. yes, I start well in advance, BUT I feel the need to show you the Christmas list I've devised, so far: (If you click on it, chu may see teh awesomeness)

Holleh:  Spooning leads to forking Hoodie.
Gracie: Rock is dead tee.
Annaz: Spock cup ^-^
and thats about it, for now XD

Though I do want this; for myself: Star trek USB stick XD!

Ohright...this week, I'm in too colab vlogs that're starting..the first one is Thesevenawesomenerds which I find to be actual awesomness! And the second being OrderOfTheSomethings, which I'm in with Natalia!

I seriosuly have no idea what to write, so urm...blargh!

Talk on Friday ^.^
-Louise.

Bah ha ha! It's Monday...

My Monday was not exactly exciting. I've been home sick from school, but I'm feeling better now. I guess since the theme hasn't been announced it's just update for me, which is fine.
Friday (Oct 8) is my birthday!!! I'm so pumped because I'm gonna be seventeen :)
On Friday night I'm going to a movie with all of my friends in honor of my birthday. We're going to see either The Social Network or Easy A (if it's still in theatres) and I think some people might give me presents, and who doesn't love presents? After the movie I'm spending the night at my best friend Moriah's house. Then on Saturday my dad is picking me up at 10:00 and we're going to Sea World all day. I'm getting a new phone for my birthday which is exciting. My dad also said he has a surprise for me. I don't know what it is, and it's been bugging me ever since he told me about it! Then, on Sunday I'm celebrating my birthday with my mom and grandparents and all my other family members. I'm getting a bike from my grandma. I've been wanting a bike forever so I'm really excited about that. Then I'll just have a regular week after that.
This school week is exam week for me. I'm not pumped about that. I hate exams!
Lately I've been listening to blink-182 all the time! They're one of my favorites and I just got all of their music on my iPod. On another note, I have just gotten the Explorers series by Tom Milsom on my computer. I'm going to put it them on my iPod tonight! If you don't have Explorers 1-5 on your iPod or computer or whatever you should get them. They're on bandcamp for free! You just put 0 as the amout of money you want to pay. His regular albums have minium prices though, so I don't have them. Here's the link to his bandcamp if you want to get his music.
I don't really have much else to say today. I was thinking of something earlier, but I've forgotten...

Peace - Emilie

Louise's Sunday night "explaining why Bethanie has disappeared" post (:

Hai guys, It's Louise(as the post title would suggest) 

I'm guessing you've noticed that we've had no Bethanie this week, and due to that...we had no theme announcement. But thankfully Spiegs took it as another generally bloggy week ^.^ (Thank you for that soo much!) 

Also, I totally just sat for the past ten minutes going...

"Spiegs!  Spiegs!  Spiegs!  Spiegs!  Spiegs!  Spiegs!  Spiegs!  Spiegs!  Spiegs!  Spiegs!  Spiegs!  Spiegs!  Spiegs!  Spiegs!  Spiegs!  Spiegs!  Spiegs!  Spiegs!" 

 ...that name amuses me, it sounds so damn cool!

So...heres the thing, Bethanie got her apartment!! But; she hasn't got her new internet yet (she said, it should be put on it about a 3-4 weeks ^.^) 

Until she is back, I should be announcing our themes on my usual tuesday posts, so it'll go...

Tuesday-My post

Wednesday-Aleta's post

Thursday-Natalia's post

Friday-Louise announcing the new theme

Saturday-Speigs will begin the new theme :B

We'll run like this until further notice (:

I have  no idea if she'll have time to go through and do any posts that she's missed, though I guess thats up to her; she did say she'd be doing a mega huge update thing when she comes back to us, so...y'know. 

Disclaimer: Just bare with me for now guys, I'm used to kinda organising this whole thing along with bethanie, and taking control of everything for a few weeks is gunna be hard, so I may pick crappy themes, but I totally apologise. 

 I do have a theme picked out for this week...BUT if you have an suggestions, can you please mention them in your post, it'd be a great help.

So just...keep up with the generally blog-ness, please ^.^

Thanks guys (:

Sunday Post: Week... 5? *WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE DENT SCHOOLHOUSE!!!*

Wow... That's kinda sad... I've already lost track of the weeks... :-/  No matter.  I'm soooo excited for October 24, because the freshmen are having a costume party at a black-light, monster-themed, indoor mini golf course!!!  Why is this so exciting?  Because I get to see how many people have seen the Mr. Roboto music video by Styx. For those of you who haven't seen it, here's a link to it.  XD  That's right, I'm going dressed as Mr. Roboto.  Unfortunately, the mask isn't working with me...  I'm making it of paper mache because I don't have time to make a real one, and it just isn't working... :-/  Oh well.  Should be fun anyway. =]  Maybe I'll post pix when it's done...

Last night, my brother, dad, and I went to the Dent Schoolhouse, one of the top 13 haunted houses in America.  It was soooo awesome!!!  My moronic little brother decided that he could handle the cold, so he didn't wear a jacket in 40 degree weather, and the first live person who basically just followed you around and jumped at you and stuff just kept mocking him, and we talked for a while until we got to the door.  She was awesome.  There were two clown rooms, and I'd have to say that they were the worst two rooms in the place...  For me, at least. :-P  I've never seen clowns quite the same way after reading/watching 'It' two years ago... :-/  In retrospect, though, it really wasn't all that bad.  The Detention Hall was soooooo much fun!  It wasn't so much a 'haunted' thing as a mind warp, but...  Basically, you go into a maze of metal bars, and there are three people in it that keep changing the configuration of the maze so that you can't get to the exit unless they have it set up JUUUUSSST right.  And that only happens once every fifteen minutes or so. XD  Dad kept wandering off within the maze, and one of the guys kept blocking the correct path, one of them freaked Ben out really badly, and the other was just laughing at us because we kept going in circles. XD  After the haunted house, we went to the movie store to get Candyman, but they closed 10 minutes early so we didn't get it...  Instead, we watched three episodes of Buffy which was awesome because we haven't watched it in... 3 weeks. :-p

Well, this is getting long, and I have a mask and gloves to design and make, so I should get going. 
-Victoria

*edit*  OMG!  I just got home from South Pacific, and I have to admit that it was a-maaa-zing!  Jason Howard was a PERFECT Emeile de Becque, and the perfect counterpart, Nellie, was played by the amazing Carmen Cusack.  I could sing praises about the two of them (but mostly Jason) all day, but alas... It is late, and I still have tons of homework to do. :-P  I wish that Mom had let us stay for a bit, as the cast always come out ten minutes or so after the show, but she was too cold.  *rolls eyes* I mean, we could've gotten autographs and stuff!  Cusack and Howard!  Howard and Cusack!  Ah well... It's probably for the best...  I probably wouldn't have wanted to leave if we'd stayed... And yet... *sigh* I suppose I shall never know how it could've gone... I remember the last time we stayed after a production... It was the night before Christmas Eve (I think...) and we were waiting for Dad to pick us up after having seen Chicago, and one of the guys came out, and I totally didn't recognize him, and he started talking to us, and I started saying how awesome the actor playing his character was, and he was like 'well thanks!  It was actually one of my worse nights...' and I was like *mouth drop*.  It was sooo awesome!!!  I should leave you alone... :-/  Thanks for reading my rant if you've gotten this far! XD  Bye now!  Homework calls...

What's crack-a-lackin'???

UPSAY! (Sup in Piglattin... I miss second grade).

So I have absolutely no idea what the theme is this week, so I'm just gonna wing it with a little update, I guess. Last night was my school's Homecoming game and we lost... Which actually wasn't a surprise. It's really ironic because well, my school is named after a football player and well, our football team is absolutely horrible. I heard it was an exciting game though... I didn't go. That makes tonight the dance and again, not going. I really, really despise school dances. Bleh! Umm, what else, what else. On Monday I have to get up super early to go to school to finish an essay test! Whoo! Oh! And more great news! (This one is actually great) I've been seeing a therapist for the past few weeks and she might have just been the scariest lady I've ever met, my parents finally decided to switch me over to someone else... few.

Victoria, I'm sorry about your homecoming expirence, at least that boy's dad likes you! (PS- That music vid was awesome!)
Emilie, I love putting songs on replay too, for some reason it's just so satisfying. 
Louise, You've got me hooked on The Smiths (Oh and PS: Some people say I look like me dad What?! Are you serious?)
Aleta, My sister really likes Ke$ha... I think I might give her a try. :)
Natalia, AHHH! Pictures of You is such a great song! But the lyrics are so sad. (PS- You're a brave soul for watching the Lion King... Scar is one of my biggest fears D:)

Ahhh! Do any of you watch The Office (American Version) or 30 Rock?? Oh! And Natalia and Emilie, HIMYM: Made of awesomeness. I started watching a few months ago and it never fails to make me laugh!

What's up with you guys?

DFTBA,

Marisa
