Nerdfriends

Ok, story time.

Picture it, Sicily, 1912- wait wrong story... (Bonus points if you get the reference).

Tuesday night I was cranky. Really cranky. All through Monday and Tuesday I spent hanging out with my recently-nerdfighter-converted friend who I don't get to see often now that she lives a hourish away. We had a lot of fun: on Monday we saw the new Indy movie, we played on her Wii, we drove around in my awesome convertible then on Tuesday she came to my school with me… Continue

Garden Gnomes

I was in my neighborhood the other day, and I saw a sign stapled on a telephone pole that said "Kidnapped!" on the top. So I took a closer look. It had a picture, but the rain had blurred it into a blob of color. The text went on to say that Happy the gnome has been kidnapped. The kidnappers were identified as the Garden Gnome Liberation Front, and it included a phone number to call for more information. So all was well, no actual kidnappings, and I went on about my business. It was kind of… Continue

A question of kindness? Of simply of justice?

I don't know how many times I have written that we should treat everybody the same. But you know what? I was wrong.

I have just finish a wok on the nazis, and i started thinking. Should we really treat all people the same? I know we don't, but should we?

If, say, Stalin (if whould be alive) would come to your house. It's raining, hailing, and lets say a hurricane is coming this way. And unless you let him into your house, he would die. Or at least suffer terribly for the… Continue

My Day At School

Today at school sucked!

I had finals(that I didn't study for). And to make it worse, I have a really bad sunburn. And this really anoying kid Dyllian Ives, slapped me on it. So all I did was choke slam him into a wall. And this really stupid band teacher saw it and he wrote me up.

So anyway I have to go to I.S.S.(In School Suspension)for the last two days of school. Which is at least gives me some time to study for my finals and an extra two days to take them. Well that's the only… Continue

Scroobius Pip!

a musical artist, that is deemed as a spoken word poet, who has favorite poets...

I'm trying to fix a terrible oversight...I only found 2 people that have mentioned the Scroob, from le Sac vs Pip

Dan le Sac and Scroobius Pip are made for Nerfighteria, I just knew it would be all the rage here, but no... sad :(

Smary and demondaswrath, good for you :D

So if you're interested, you should stay tuned / subscribe to her… Continue

The Cure!

So, last night I went to The Cure! It was AMAZING.

After much confusion about who I was going with, where we were staying and how we'd get there, I ended up going with Kevin. As much as I teased my mom about being worried about her ickle babies going to Vancouver alone, I was freaking out a LITTLE bit before we left. Everything went smoothly, though, so no harm no foul. We stayed at the YWCA, which gave me AMPLE opprotunity to make bad "Half a Person" jokes (which no one got).… Continue

Hello Kitty Online, lots of screenshots.

So, I'm playing Hello Kitty Online in closed beta.

I don't know how long until the closed beta becomes an open beta, but yay for me getting in.

I enjoy Sanrio and all things Hello Kitty. XD

Anyway, I like it so far. I've found a few glitches and some spelling errors, but mostly it's just fun and easy, which makes sense being that it's most definitely targeted at kids.

My world (in 5 pictures) for Vandraren. Picture #5

I have to admit I'm sort of sad to see this over!

Alright dude, this is picture 5. I was going to try to take something sorta in the middle of these buildings (the Bawlmer Inner Harbor) but I've either been too busy, too lazy or the weather has been crappy ... or a combination of the three.

This is one of the views out of our living room here. And actually, it's a pretty great view. This isn't the greatest photo (story of my life!) but at long last, here is my picture… Continue

Do you seriously not know how Netflix works?

I've never wasted so much time in my entire life.

I should be doing research for an English paper due in a few weeks, or possibly practicing for my concert tonight. Am I doing either of those things? No! I'm not! So I said to myself, "Self," because that's what I call myself, "why do you insist on procrastinating so? There are many things that are worthwhile that you could be doing; what are you doing now that's so important?"

2 words: Tom McLean.

Tom McLean,… Continue

Save the kitties!!!

It would seem a small shelter in Connecticut (I spelled that one all by myself TYVM) had to take in 67 cats that were being hoarded by someone in a 2-BR apartment. They are in need of supplies as they run solely on donations. I'm putting the word out for everyone to see. Save the kitties!!!

Rest in peace Rob Knox

OMG! I just read at msn.se that one of the stars in Harry potter and the half blooded prince were stabbed and murdered at a local pub somewere in Britain.

He's name was Rob knox and he played a minor role as Marcus Belby.

He died at the age of 18, he were only one year older than me! and for what? a mobile phone.

OMG were is this world heading?

So even though this is the first time I heard of you, Rob, it still makes me feel sick.

If you had been just a local… Continue

The Next Big Step

So I passed the final benchmark agewise, I reached 21. The age that opens up all the adult oppourtunities, as well as signifies my passage into adulthood. Do I feel any different? Did I have a great epiphany that would show me what I would be doing with my life from this point forward? In all honesty, I don't feel the least bit different. I was wondering what the hype was about 21. Is drinking legally the only thing to look forward to at 21? What is next? If anyone knows, can they please set me… Continue

Sonnets

It's been awhile since I've posted a blog, I guess I'm do. Someone was asking for a poem about life on another site that I'm a part of and I thought about Shakespeare's sonnets. I really like the sonnets, but I haven't read most of them for awhile. I just got a book of them all, so I plan on reading them over the summer. Right now I'm pretty sure number 30 is my favorite, but ask me again in a month. So I present it to you in all it's iambic pentameteric glory.

When to the… Continue
