Day 32: My cousin got THE most awesome engagement present EVER

My cousin is married and has a daughter who is being baptized tomorrow. There was a spontaneous barbecue at her house tonight, and I noticed an extremely awesome stuffed animal on the floor. I sighed to her about how my parents never loved me enough to get me a stuffed octopus, and she told me that the octopus actually did not belong to her daughter, but to her. Apparently, this extremely sexy octopus was an engagement present from her husband. Look how sexy it is!

It looks like that, only pinkish instead of bright red. But, seriously, how can you say no to that? Guys, keep this in mind. If you want to propose to a girl, you have to do it right. Don't just get her an awesome ring - get her a stuffed octopus, and she won't stand a chance against your charm. <3

But seriously, if you want to marry me, get me an octopus like that. It could literally be the thing that makes me decide yes. I won't stand a chance. <3

Oh, and Colombian Rice Eater, do not say a WORD about tentacle rape, you sick freak.

Day 31: In my personal opinion, sociopaths are EXTREMELY awesome

Before you all start freaking out and saying OMFG KATRINA WTF WHY DO YOU THINK SERIAL KILLERS ARE AWESOME I would like to make one thing clear: The only serial killer I think is awesome is Dexter. HA.

But seriously, the word 'sociopath' carries a looooot of badass. A sociopath is not someone who goes around killing everyone to get what they want. (That's probably a psychopath. :D) A sociopath is basically someone that has no concern for the rules society has decided upon; they'll commit a crime if they want to, because they don't give a crap if society has decided it is unacceptable or immoral. Basically, they're badass. Psychopaths, on the other hand, are scary as crap. They are physically incapable of feeling affection for people, are masters at manipulating people, and every single thing they do serves one purpose: looking out for number one. If they want you to lose credibility with your boss so they will get promoted over you, they'll poison you so you look like you're drunk. (A psychopath did this in an episode of House.) If you've discovered a dirty secret of theirs and are threatening to take it to the police, they'll just kill you. They cannot feel any empathy at all. Basically, while both are badass, sociopaths can form actual relationships with people, while any relationship a psychopath has was created to either make it easier for them to get what they want or to maintain an image of normalcy.

Now for a few of my favorite (sadly, fictional) sociopaths!

1. Max Keenan, from Bones

Aw man, I LOVE this guy. He's funny, and charming, and he does anything he can to protect his family. In Witness Protection for years, when he and his wife were found by the people hunting them, they ran away from their children without even saying goodbye. This ripped his children apart, but the alternative would have been exposing them to the hit men trying to kill them (who succeeded in murdering his wife), which was far worse. He let himself be arrested, facing the death penalty, instead of abandoning his daughter again. Most notably, he is a serial killer (w00t!), but he only kills when he is protecting his family. He's badass.

2. Sherlock Holmes, from Sherlock

This guy is my IDOL. For those of you who know Freakishly Smart Person - so pretty much everyone reading this xD - imagine him on cocaine. But more arrogant, and constantly talking, and with a gun that he shoots at the wall when he's bored. This guy gets some truly epic lines - he complains about having to breath because "breathing's boring," and when accused of being a psychopath, he replies, "I'm not a psychopath, I'm a sociopath. Do your research," not offended in the slightest - just annoyed that they were wrong. He also insults people a LOT. "Shut up." "I didn't say anything!" "You're thinking. It's annoying." Lol. He also kicks ass... Chinese circus performers/smugglers/murderers? Don't stand a chance. Serial killer who's been shot and won't tell you the name of the person who sent them to you? He'll be dead soon anyway, so it doesn't matter if you torture him a little. Plus, he's devilishly attractive. :D

3. Dexter, from Dexter

Okay, so this guy is a sociopath AND a psychopath, but seriously. THIS GUY KICKS SO MUCH ASS. He's the world's most epic serial killer, slaughtering three people in the first two episodes. He killed his own brother, too, slitting his throat. However, because of the world's best foster dad, he only kills people that he knows are killers themselves, and have escaped the law or remain undiscovered (his brother was a serial killer too). He is SUCH a badass. While the show has a bit more boob than I'm comfortable with, I TOTALLY recommend to everyone reading this - as long as you don't mind a little (okay, a LOT of) blood.

So that's the post for today. And, guess what? It's my 31st! That means I've been doing this for about a month. The last time I attempted to do something every day, I failed a few days after the one-month mark. Let's hope this lasts longer! It's already gone on way longer than I thought it would, so yay!

As a side note, one of my life's goals is to become best friends with a sociopath. Don't ask me why. Since according to Colombian Rice Eater there's no way that Freakishly Smart Person is one (DAMN IT), that leaves Singing Actor And SGU Fan. WHY MUST YOU HATE ME SO? THIS IS ONE OF MY LIFE'S GOALS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE!

I'm normal.

Day 30: Cleaning your room is actually pretty awesome

Wow, guys, no comments at all on the last two posts? Seriously? Doesn't Sailor Moon Fan Who Is Epic At Drawing deserve a little more love?

Over the break, I decided that I was going to clean my room. To my utter shock, I've actually been carrying through with this. I've found some pretty interesting stuff from like a year ago... that's about how long I've been accumulating stuff on my desk since the last purge. It's kind of interesting seeing all this stuff. I've also found some stuff inside a couple drawers that I basically abandoned a few years ago. I mean, there are pictures of me when I was like seven in there! (Well, there aren't any more. HA! The drawer is now home to my odd sock collection. Be quiet, I'm going to do cool stuff with them!.... one day... eventually... SHUT UP!) But although it's been difficult for me to get rid of some stuff - I'm a generation closer to the Depression-era-never-throw-anything-still-possibly-usable-away mentality than the rest of you are - I AM BECOMING STRONG. LIKE A MAN. HELL YEAH!

EXACTLY LIKE THAT. Anyways, as messy as I can be, I'm actually a lot more organized than I appear. Yay! And I am SERIOUSLY enjoying going through my old stuff. FUN FUN FUN FUN IT'S (almost) FRIDAY

But really, if your room is anything less than utterly stellar, I would recommend cleaning it. Not because your parents are nagging you, but because it's a lot more fun than you would have guessed. GOD I USED TO BE SO TALENTED AT DRAWING. xD

Oh, and I updated the Awesome People Blah Blah Blah page with links to a few more peoples' blogs: Closet D&D Fan, Quiet Airplane Dude, and Supreme Harem Master. I also added more info to My Smexy Friend, Nikola Tesla, and Freakishly Smart Person. (Colombian Rice Eater, don't freak out. IT IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE. And it would make him even more badass. YAY!) Plus the little "About Me" thingy has been rewritten. DOUBLE YAY!

It's 12:58 in the morning. I'm gonna go clean my room some more. Because that's smart. TRIPLE YAY!

I AM NOT ON DRUGS!

Day 29: Written by awesome friend who talks about awesome things

The dumb-butt writer, who I will be calling...uh...The Dumb-Butt...Writer? Is not telling the truth about me in her last blog entry...thing.
She claims that I am going to tell a bunch of lies about her abusing me and what-not. Which is not true. Everything I say is true, including that one time where she tied me to the back of a donkey and got it to run through a pile of elephant feces. By the way, she didn't even let me wear a mask or anything! I had to take it all in, it was awful! SHE'S A MONSTER. Back to other true things that I am not making up.
I am known as Sailor Moon Fan Who Is Epic At Drawing on this shizz, but I feel a more appropriate name would be, oh, I don't know, something along the lines of Master Of All And Ruler Of Everything, or something simple like that. I LOVE SAILOR MOON. Anywho, I think I should start a blog myself. I'd call it "The Legend of Vivian" AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I really don't know what to write. I mean, I could just talk about how I got this black eye I that I am not making up, but we all know that it's from Dumb-Butt Writer.
Anywho it was a warm Spring day and I was just plowing the field on my farm (I was going to plant some eggplants) when suddenly I hear a noise, a bunny crying in the distance. Now you are probably thinking that I am crazy for thinking I can hear little rabbit nibbles, but I can seriously talk to them. Seriously. I'm not crazy. I'M NOT.

Anywho, I followed the noise and came across Dumb-Butt Writer pulling on the rabbit's poofy tail! Being the might and heroic heroine I am, who is heroic and mighty in every way, punched Dumb-Butt Writer across the face and pushed her into my personal pond of children's tears, where my pirahna, whom I have trained to live in such an environment, just happened to have the munchies and nibbled (chomped) on her left big toe. Nothing too bad.Okay, so sahe has nine toes, whatever! That just means one less toe to look after. I wouldn't want to have nine toes, but it suits Dumb-Butt Writer.
So after she escaped, she decided to return the favour and punched back (violent person) which is exactly how I got this black eye that exists. The black eye that will no doubt be gone by the time school starts again, so there will be no way to actually tell that I had the black eye in the first place. Even though I did.
And now for a cute picture!

I call the little guy Sabeast (Dumb-Butt Writer calls her Bean) because it's so small and cute, but on the inside it's a cold-blooded killer who has been taught to suck the life out of living human beings with its cuteness. It can also suck the life out of things that don't even have anymore life to suck (zombies, vampires, etc.)
Well Dumb-Butt Writer wants me to end this entry because she doesn't appreciate the fact that I am exposing her true self on the internet.
Just so everyone knows, but mostly Dumb-Whatever Writer, vampires don't exist. Yes, I've probably ruined your childhood dreams, but there is no such thing as a glittery man who watches you sleep and is fast enough to escape when you wake up. Or is that Santa Claus I'm thinking of? By the way, Santa Claus exists. Vampires don't. Or do they? If a vampire was ever to watch me sleep, I'd probably cry. Santa Claus is bad enough!

Tatty bye for now! Actually I'm probably never going to write in this blog again. So just tatty bye. Or bye. It all depends on if you prefer the immature goodbye (and we know which goodbye that is) or the mature one.

So tatty and/or bye!

Day 28: April is awesome

It really is. Thunderstorms... tulips sprouting (but not blossoming yet, dammit!)... birds chirping... worms on the sidewalk... wait, what? Sigh... the one thing about spring I don't like. But we just had our first thunderstorm, and I'm thinking HALLELUJAH SISTAH! God damn it, did I ever miss thunderstorms! I love this time of year, because it's before all the nasty biting bugs are out... read, mosquitoes. My uncles are probably seeding right now - they're farmers, all three of my mom's brothers. They get pretty busy this time of year. Hm... never mind, they probably aren't seeding yet. Maybe. WHATEVAH.

Spring is my second favorite season, because I don't need to wear all the layers that are neccessary in the winter, but it's not yucky and hot the way summer is. (Fall's my favorite, because of Halloween, mah birthday, pretty colours, school starting, etc.) Summer is just... BLARG. The hot sun, the bright sunlight, EW. Although I definitely love going to the lake and chilling, as well as the break from school.

I'm not a very intresting blogger, am I? I'm not funny or interesting or amusing. So, to give you all a taste of what this blog ISN'T, I'm letting a guest blog for today's entry! (Because this is yesterday's, I believe.) Sailor Moon Fan Who Is Epic At Drawing is taking over for the next blog post. YAY! Just a warning, I probably haven't said or done most of the things she's going to say I have. Seriously. Child needs major therapy.

CIAO FOR NOW! :D

Day 27: Japanese people are REALLY awesome

BLARG THIS STILL COOOOOOOUNTS.

So. I would just like to say that Japanese people are the absolute sexiest humans on the planet. This delicious 30-second commercial provides some compelling evidence for my statement. If anyone still remains unconvinced of this fact, tell me why, and I shall undoubtedly prove you wrong.

I promise.

The sexy commercial - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nYU5y2_wjI.

Day 26: German food orgies are awesome

Before post is posted: I just found out that Singing Actor And SGU Fan has a blog! OMG EXCITING MUCH?!?!?!

Anyways.

So last night I had a sleepover at Bean's house, on her acreage. It's pretty pwnage. Sailor Moon Fan Who Is Epic At Drawing was supposed to be there too, but had to work unexpectedly. Pity. There was this German-person-food-orgy-and-bonfire-party-thing that night, for Easter, and OMG. There was SO MUCH FOOD. Of course, I totally pigged out and ate enough for at least two different meals, but OMG IT WAS SO GOOOOD. This really delicious, tender steak kebab. This awesome chicken wrapped with proscuitto ham. This STRAWBERRY CAKE OMG. And of course there was beer, but obviously I had none. EW GROSS SICK DISGUSTING AW YUCK

Bean is really funny. I quite enjoy how funny she is. I also love her fluffeh little kitty cat and her adorable, huggy little bro. Let's call him... Bean's Adorable Huggy Little Brother. She was on Facebook for like a freakin' hour last night, talking to Singing Actor And SGU Fan about his (devilishly attractive) new hat and to Colombian Rice Eater about narwal rape and how they're gonna sell me as a sex slave. WTF? A little perspective for you there. xD So I wrote in her journal about what a poopface she was being and then drew a picture of me burning her alive. I then drew five more pages of me gleefully killing & injuring her in different ways. YAY The faces were quite beautiful, believe me. We plan on showing them to Sailor Moon Fan Who Is Epic At Drawing soon so she can enjoy how smart I am. YAY

GOD DAMMIT I NEED FACEBOOK. (Singing Actor And SGU Fan has no cell phone, and emailing him would be... creepy. Same goes for a lot of people I don't talk to enough. BLARG)

Day 25: The people I know are seriously awesome...

... which is why you should check out the blog's new page, Awesome People Mentioned in This Blog. It should help you navigate all that is awesome about the people I know (or wish I knew).

Short entry... SORRY EVERYONE! But seriously,  read the page, because it's pretty sweet.

I hate Bean's goddamn German keyboard.

Day 24: Sleepovers with losers are AWESOME

Okay. This is yesterday's post, although it is obviously no longer yesterday - it is now... TODAY. *dramatic moment*

... BE QUIET I'M SMART.

So anyways, I'm currentle at Bean's house and her keyboard sucks money butt. Seriously.

OMG YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN. That was supposed to say "So anyways, I'm currently at Bean's house and her keyboard sucks monkey butt." It's supposedly a German keyboard, which basically means that IT SUCKS MONKEY BUTT. See, the z and y keys are mixed up, and NONE OF THE PUNCTUATION IS WHERE IT SHOULD BE. orz

Anyways, night before last, she and Sailor Moon Fan Who Is Epic At Drawing had a sleepover at my house.These two are so retarded.  We spent over an hour arguing about whether we should watch
Lilo & Stitch or Mulan.

No joke. These champs are fucked. In. The. Head.

So then Sailor Moon Fan Who Is Epic At Drawing spent the next two hours complaining and wanting to go home. I gave her ice cream with chocolate chips but after three bites the bitch said she didn't want it any more. IT WAS THE LAST BIT OF ICE CREAM IN THE DURN FECKN' HOUSE. AND I GOT NONE. That bitch Bean just told me not to exxagerate. She wants cake. I ASSURE YOU I DO NOT LIE. Not about this, at least.

Pelvis thrust!

Day 23: Watching movies with friends is awesome

Hey errbody! As I'm sure you noticed, I haven't posted for three days. OMG KATRINA Y U NO LOVE US?!?!?!?! But I have a good reason. Yeeeeees. Well, two good reasons, actually, because I'm two days behind. YAY! On Thursday, the day that this post was supposed to be... posted... I was havin' a partay! OMG! Well, it was a kind of a half-party, because we basically just ate food, burned stuff, and watched an awesome movie. And yesterday, we had visitors, from Calgary. They're still here, so I hope I can see them again today, but they're worried about exams when they get back so they're hoping to study. xD Meh. ANYWAYS.

The first person to arrive was Colombian Rice Eater. He was about 45 minutes early and helped me make food. Well, by "make," I mean he sliced veggies with me. xD I taught him how to slice a pepper. He felt extremely proud to be "cooking." Odd child. Then a lot of people arrived: World Champion Pacer, Secret Society Girl (she hopes to make a secret society one day), Slightly Creepy Person, Quiet Smart Airplane Dude, and Closet D&D Fan (I toldja you'd get a real name! :D). Quiet Smart Airplane Dude brought some of those yummy Mini Eggs thingamajiggies for us all to feast on. I've noticed that when one of those quiet, smart dudes gets invited over for a semi-party-thing, they often bring food. HOW SWEET! -3- After a few minutes of everyone chowing down on veggies (more food came later), someone asked me who else was coming. I said something along the lines of, "Well, Supreme Harem Master told me she was going to be late, but BEAN AND SAILOR MOON FAN WHO IS EPIC AT DRAWING both still need to arrive." The person stared at me and was like, "Chill bro, it'll be all good. Shouting at them won't make them come sooner." To which I replied, "Oh yes it will. You'd be surprised."

Sure enough, a minute or two later, Bean came to the door. OH HO HO. I SHOWED THEM! >:D

Be quiet. I'M NORMAAAAAAL

Anyways, about 30 seconds after that, Sailor Moon Fan Who Is Epic At Drawing (who seriously needs a shorter name) came to the door. After a little fiasco involving that mischievous Colombian Rice Eater locking them out, we came in and partied. Lol jk. I waited a few minutes and then said, "Well, Supreme Harem Master told me she wouldn't be bringing anythin to burn, so we should go burn stuff now." My dad, let's call him Dodo (said with LOVE), lit up the firepit in the backyard and we all took our rough drafts of portfolio work and burned them. Colombian Rice Eater was SUPPOSED to bring all his shiz from last semester, but the dummy was all "well I might need it for finals! Because obviously my history teacher will be testing us on stuff we learned in math last semester." DERP. So since he had nothing to burn I drew an extremely sexy picture of him. OH HO HO. So we burned it. YAAAAY >:D

So then I sat all the little children down in the living room in front of the TV, asked them if they wanted popcorn, and then me and Slightly Creepy Person went downstairs and grabbed a buttload of drinks for everyone. As the popcorn started poppin' we started the movie, but before that happened there were several minutes of everyone bein' crazy. Example of a convo between Bean and Sailor Moon Fan Who Is Epic At Drawing is as follows.
Sailor Moon Fan Who Is Epic At Drawing: Just take it off, and give me your bra!
(LOL. Bean, feel free to attempt to explain that one away in the comments. INAPPROPRIATE RELATIOOOOOOONS)

So yeah. The movie we watched is called Stardust. Colombian Rice Eater actually suggested it about a week back, and it's a pretty funny movie. Captain Shakespeare lol. MY IDOL. Supreme Harem Master arrived about 10 or 15 minutes after it started so she didn't miss all that much. After it was done everyone went home except for Bean and Sailor Moon Fan Who Is Epic At Drawing, who had a sleepover. That was fun too. Kind of.... >_>

IN BRIEF: Random parties are fun. Stardust is a good movie. I'm attractive.

That is all.

Oh right! From now on, Sailor Moon Fan Who Is Epic At Drawing shall now be known as Sailor Moon Fan, but only in the label-section-thing. And Closet D&D Fan is known as Closet DaD Fan in the labels, which sounds extremely creepy but I can't put "&" in there so it'll do.

Day 22: The ultimate comeback to racist comments: This guy is awesome.

So a lot of racist comments were appearing on the video mentioned in "yesterday's" post, and the dude in the video took matters into his own hands, ultimately pwning them for once and for all.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCXqOFjsiZs&

Asian people really are gods. *worship*

Day 21: Canada is awesome

Blarg. I'm getting sick. Isn't that just my luck? I'm almost done English.

Best. Song. EVER.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWQf13B8epw
It sums up pretty much everything that Canada is. YAY!

Day 20: Everything, INCLUDING the kitchen sink, is awesome

GOD DAMN IT I JUST FINISHED ANOTHER ENGLISH PORTFOLIO ENTRY. It still needs proofreading, and a few Spanish bits that I'm going to make Colombian Rice Eater translate for me, but oh well. Three and a half goddamn single-spaced, twelve-point font pages of PAIN. At least that's one more down. RAH. I R MONSTER!!!!!!!!

Before today's entry, I want to say two things that relate to earlier blog posts. Number one, one of my friends (who I am too exhausted to think of a cool name for now [BUT I WILL LATER]) has informed me that Freakishly Smart Person has the exact same singing voice as Freakishly Smart Person's Older Brother. My thoughts? Yay, I can still maybe possibly hear that voice in the next couple years! and (of course) OH HOT DAMN. WHY U SO SEXY, FREAKISHLY SMART PERSON. Jk, I've never heard him sing, but still. Some people...

Number two, today Colombian Rice Eater was wearing black dress pants and a black dress shirt with a white tie an some SUPER DUPER SEXY WHITE SUSPENDERS. COLOMBIAN RICE EATER, WHY U SO SEXY. Anyways. Moving on...


So right now my dad (I shall call him Dodo) is replacing the countertops in our bathrooms, since the old ones are kind of pinkish and weird, being from like the 50s or 60s. xD Anyways, to do this, he had to take out all the drawers and pretty much everything else in the bathroom downstairs - my bathroom - because that's the one he's doing first. All the stuff is being stored in our guest room. And in that guest room is, and I have ALWAYS wanted to say this: EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE KITCHEN SINK. AHAAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Well, okay, it's the bathroom sink, but come on. This much, you can give me.

MY LIFE IS NOW COMPLETE. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go scoop kitty poop, feed the cats, and go to sleep. BLARGH.

Day 19: Colombian Rice Eater is awesome

So earlier today, my lovely friend Colombian Rice Eater emailed me a temporary blog post that he said I could use. Here it is:


Hey there! This is the Colombian Rice Eater speaking on behalf of the usual user of this blog! She's terribly sorry that she hasn't been able to post today or the day before; the thing is that our class has an English Portfolio due this week and she let herself get a behind (SHAME. jk, i did to xD) She'll catch up on missed days as soon as she can, until then please enjoy this temporary blog post!

Here's a summary of what the usual user of this blog would say.

Blah blah blah Sanctuary.

Blah blah blah Symphony book sale.

Blah blah blah I r genius!

And this concludes this temporary blog post :) BYE!

Lol. What a champ. Dude, you're an awesome friend, and you have MAD skillz in the piano (especially since you've only been playing for six months). YAY FOR COLOMBIAN RICE EATER!!!!


Shit I still have so much English. I shouldn't have posted at all today... OTL

Day 18: High school coffee houses are pretty awesome

Yes, yes, I am fully aware that this is a day late. Yesterday I was volunteering at the Symphony book sale again. I saw a few people I know again, which was cool - Asian Guy Who Is His Girlfriend's Slave, My Genius Cousin In University (seriously. She's scarily smart. She works in the freakin' Syncratron. If you don't know what that is, Google it. If that's how it's spelled. XD), and Colombian Rice Eater, who I actually reminded to come. Apparently his mom has been meaning to come for years but always forgot, so I did her a big favour by reminding Colombian Rice Eater, I guess. XD He got piano music and a book about the physics of Christmas. Awesome, eh? :D

I got a few books myself. Another few on sewing stuffed animals and dolls, one mini-book thing about 20 pages long that basically laughs at us ladies and our (minor!) obsessions with Shoes, Chocs, Bags, and Frocks. It's actually pretty clever. XD The last book, which shall remain shrouded in mystery until I post a blog entry about it, is called Dancing with Cats. OMG it is SO AWESOME. Seriously.

AW CRAP OFF TOPIC. ANYWAYS. On Thursday night I was at this coffee-house-type-thing at my school, only the tables weren't set up like a coffee house, they were all facing this one corner for the performances. No tables. SAD. Oh well, I GOT CHEESECAKE!!!! :D MINE miiiiine MIIIIIINE mine MINE

Some of the performances weren't THAT great - this one guy supposedly composed his own guitar piece, but I couldn't hear any notes at all the electric guitar's... Reverb? Echo? Whatever. His SHIZ was all set so high I couldn't make out any notes at all. It all kind of blended together. BLAH. However, the hosts were pretty good - the dude created a kind of character for himself, with a bowtie and a really nerdy voice (reminiscent of Singing Actor And SGU Fan's character in the One Acts). A few of the acts were REALLY awesome - Freakishly Smart Person's Singing Older Brother (who, I have discovered, has an absolutely MAGNIFICENT voice) sang this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNsmF9JTpuI Trust me, he did WAY better. SO SEDUCTIVE OMG. <3 Then there was a show choir that sang "525 600 Minutes" (from RENT) and another cool song. They were SO GOOD. One of my friends, let's call him Quiet Smart Guy With Hidden Talents, just did somethin' funky to his ankle and is on crutches, but he hobbled around like a champ and was in THREE different groups, including a saxaphone quartet with Freakishly Smart Person, who also played the piano for the show choir. GOD DAMMIT. HOW MANY THINGS CAN THIS DUDE DO? He also plays the violin. I FEEL SO USELESS NOW. There were some really good singers as well, including this one girl who has a truly epic voice and sang "Perfect" (by Hedly. derp) without any music at all, but then close to the end forgot what came next and whispered "Oh shit!" in shock, but we all immediately cheered for her and clapped because she was so tank.

IN BRIEF: My school is filled with awesome talent, Freakishly Smart Person makes me feel so inferior with his God-like talent in EVERYTHING it's not even amusing, Freakishly Smart Person's Singing Older Brother has a very, VERY sexy voice, and cheesecake is good.

Day 17: Moar awesome Sanctuary bloopers

Oh, these actors and their lip gloss... xD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLK-PcXARIQ

The return was pretty epic. Everyone's alive again, Jack the Ripper is back to writing in blood and RIPP-ing people apart, Henry's being a nerd, and Magnus is realleh smart. Lots of stuff revealed in the episode, especially about the super-Abnormals and the city and Adam Worth, but sadly no Tesla. DAAAAAMN IT.

Day 16: Nikola Tesla is freakin' AWESOME

Just so you know, Nikola Tesla is a real person. Here's a comparison between him and Sanctuary's version:

Real Nikola Tesla: Funny-looking moustache. Inventor of radio. Genius.

Sanctuary's Nikola Tesla: Temporarily had a funny-looking moustache. Inventor of radio and secret machine that helped win World War II. Ultra-super-genius. Half-vampire for a little over a hundred years, then human, but it looks like he's becoming a vampire again soon. VERY SOON. Hilarious asshole. Gets the best lines in the history of television. Utterly kick-ass. Has epic powers of electricity and magnetism... both figuratively AND literally. SUPER SEXY AND HAWT.

This is a picture that pretty much sums him up. I don't care if you fall in love with him or join his fanclub (OMG... that is a GREAT IDEA), just look at this picture. Please. http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/060/b/f/Real_Vampires__Nikola_Tesla__by_calceil.jpg Oh and watch this video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjL1pC6OvaA OH HOT DAMN. NIKOLA WHY YOU SO SEXY.

My Unsettling Friend Who Likes Upside-down Pentagrams is also a fan of Sanctuary.

Sanctuary returns tomorrow.

FUCK YEAH.

Day 15: The Sanctuary actors are awesomely sexy

BLARGH it is very late... or early, depending on how you look at it... so I won't turn this into a butt-long entry. FOR I REQUIRE SLEEP. An unfortunate side effect of being human, I'm afraid.


Today's featured video basically proves, beyond any doubt, that the people in Sanctuary are the most intelligent, attractive people in the world. XD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvHyENPFFSI Watch right until the end. It's only five minutes long, and it is SO worth it. I especially like the monkeying around, the slaps, the sex with Bigfoot at 3:15, the multiple fails following 1:15, the sexy fall-into-water-while-changing that Will does at 2:10ish, Will's faces at 2:19 (OMFG GREMLIN) and 2:37 (WTF), his "Jesus f***" of pain after repeatedly slapping a table, and quite possibly the best line never put on the air: "Oh god my lipgloss ... The last thing you want when you're being attacked by a squid is your lips to be chapped!"

Day 14: Amanda Tapping knows some crazy awesome science

Howdy there guys! ONLY THREE DAYS UNTIL SANCTUARY RETURNS! YAAAAAY!

I may be feeling a little bit excited. :D

So today's feature video really could have had anyone in it, but these 40 seconds are made better, I think, by Amanda's presence, especially since her character at this point in time was a TOTAL nerd/geek (but very attractive and kickass. Just like she still is...). The thing is, what she says in this video is totally legit, and in a hundred years (or more, or less, who knows?) could definitely be involved in time-travel technology - at least into the future. (I personally believe that getting into the future won't be too terribly difficult; it's getting back that will be the problem. There are plenty of possible ways to do this, besides how she talks about in the clip, such as time dilation fields, etc.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHS5OrGYL-Y This is one post where I would really like you guys to comment... about time travel, about how they've tested this theory (I can tell you! :D), about how adorable Amanda is, or if I have any bacon.

I LOVE AMANDA! <3

Day 13: Amanda Tapping is an awesome prankster

So as you (probably don't) know, Sanctuary returns after its four-month hiatus in four days. In honour of the epicness of Sanctuary, its actors, and its characters, I shall be posting for the next several days about Sanctuary. The second half of Season 3 is something I have been agonizing over for the entire time since the first half ended in December - the writers decided they should give us THE most demonic cliffhanger in the history of demonic cliffhangers. Know what they did at the end of the episode?

The KILLED EVERY SINGLE MAIN CHARACTER. orz

Seriously. I knew that that left 3 options: 1. The execution was faked, 2. The execution was sabotaged and so they were only unconscious, or 3. They really DID all die, and they're being brought back to life. The commercial says that it's the last one, which I was kind of leaning towards, but I want to know WHO BROUGHT THEM BACK TO LIFE?! and HOW?! and WHY?!

Anyways, the first Epic Sanctuary post is about a prank Amanda Tapping, the lead actress played while a main character in another show, Stargate SG-1. Just as a bit of background that is necessary to understand what's happening, the other guy with her is the dude that played McGyver way back when. (I think that's how you spell it...) I LOVE how she keeps a straight face right until the end! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WxPaw5U3C0

What a charmer she is. LOVE YOU AMANDA! Can't wait to see what happens next on your current show! ^3^

Day 12: I'm volunteering, and it's surprisingly fun (and awesome, of course)

So yesterday, I had to get up at 7:30 in the morning to be somewhere at 9:00. (I guess since I got Friday off, I had to get up as if it was a school day on Saturday. xD) Me and my mother, who I shall call Moomoo (since that's what I call her in real life... seriously! xD), were volunteering at this book sale thing from 9:00 until 1:30 (although we stayed for like... an hour and a half afterwards... because we were looking at books ourselves. xD). It's a fundraiser for the Symphony - actually, it's for the one that we went to go see LAST Saturday. Basically what happens is that people bring a shitload of secondhand books, records, and CDs, which volunteers then sort and sell. We take up this gigantic space in the mall. I've been going since about Grade Four, but this is my first year volunteering. I'm doing it again next Saturday, only we'll be working the "relief shift" - we take over people's jobs so they can have breaks.

Ever since the first year I volunteered, I've always headed straight for the "Handicrafts" section. It's actually pretty funny, because there are all these old ladies clustered around these quilting magazines, and then this punk (and extremely gorgeous, I might add) teenager struts over and starts leafing through the books with a purpose, and a mad gleam in her eye. I look for the sewing books - the ones with patterns and instructions and PRETTY PICTURES OMG on how to make stuffed animals/dolls. Pretty much nobody knows that I like this stuff, but I LOVE making stuffed animals. I have boxes absolutely full of fabric, odd socks, old tights, and sewing supplies stacked up in my room. Honestly, if I decided one day to get rid of it all, half of the stuff lying around in my room would be gone. IT WOULD BE SO CLEAN!!! I even have an entire bookshelf devoted to books I've picked up over the years, almost exclusively from the Symphony book sale, on making these stuffed beastlings.

One of the most fun things about volunteering was seeing the different people looking at books. There were old ladies with fanny packs (which was seriously the first time I have EVER seen anyone wear a fanny pack, not including Freakishly Smart Person's very attractive costume for One Acts), families, little ADORABLE children, and an unsettling number of old ladies picking up VERY steamy-looking romance novels. -_o There was this one guy who bought 3 boxes of books, one at a time, because he's the owner of a second-hand book store. It's actually a rather clever way to stock up for cheap, when you think about it. Also, I saw someone I KNOW picking up books after my shift was done... or rather, he saw me. DUN DUN DUUUUN

So there I was, flipping through the boxes of books under the Handicraft table, when I hear... A VOICE. It said...

"Hey!" OH THE DRAMA! XD So I looked up and who do I see but Singing Actor And SGU Fan! He was holding a few books, and I smiled and said, "Nice shirt!" (We were actually wearing the same one - the t-shirt we got from the musical in the fall. XD) We had a short chat and he showed me the books he had - all rather old-looking, you know the type... plain covers, look leather-bound-ish, gilt print, no pictures. They actually contained several essays that we'd read in English a little while ago, plus a couple pieces written by Hobbes and Locke, two dudes that we were learning about in history a few months ago. If you're buying books that contain things that you've read (or read ABOUT) in school, you know you're doing it right! (Oh, and he offered to buy 1984 off of me if I had it - I didn't - so if any of you are looking to get rid of a copy you own you should give it to him.) I'm actually surprised that he wasn't loading up on cookbooks, as he's a rather big fan of cooking. Oh, and he had a few books on philosophy, including one by Marcus Aurelius. (He was a Roman emperor, once upon a time. xD) OTL Oh sweetie, you're such a nerd... I wonder if he often visits the book sale?

IN BRIEF: Volunteering allows you to see old ladies wearing fanny packs and buying steamy romance novels, and run into people you know in real life, so you should do it.

Day 11: Les Poissons are awesome

Sorry to skimp out on you, guys, but it's after one in the morning and I really should be getting some sleep. I'll post a lovely and long entry tomorrow about what I did for pretty much all of today, but for now you'll have to put up with this awesome song! It's just over a minute long. Just a warning: the laugh about :30 in may indeed scar you for life. And yes, Bean, I AM aware that you posted this on your blog like a day ago. Obviously you hacked my computer and stole the idea from me. HMF.

Enjoy the sexiness of French chefs! :D

Day 10: My friends have some WICKED awesome talent

So I watched my school's one-act plays for the third time today. When they were first playing a couple weeks ago, I went on the first day, and my respect for pretty much all of the actors went totally through the roof. Freakishly Smart Person, who is one of those people - you know, the ones that are epicly smart, play five instruments, and good at EVERYTHING - was one of the stars in one called A Little Box of Oblivion. My thoughts about 5 minutes into his being onstage?

Respect +10

He's normally this suuuper quiet guy, but not in a shy way, even though he is (according to Colombian Rice Eater) a little bit shy. More in a... "You foolish humans are so far below my intellect that I shall not speak to you, as much of what I say will be incomprehensible to your puny minds anyway," kind of way. However, I shall probably post a blog entry purely about him one day (as is the case with many of my classmates and friends), so I won't talk too too much about him at the moment. Anyways, his performance was freakin' OUTSTANDING. His character was utterly bizarre (he was never named, but was listed as "Neuro" in the program), and this quiet guy pulled it off perfectly. It's like he was BORN for the role. Jumping up and down, screaming, wiggling his behind as he sat down, making chicken noises, and last (but most CERTAINLY not least), a very sexy British accent. (Boys, keep this in mind: A British accent, more than pretty much any other accent in the world, adds instant attractiveness to EVERYONE.) Another friend of mine, let's call her Soccer Playing Curry Lover, was in it as well. Her character was called "Doom." She wore black lipstick and a super-thick pair of glasses with tape wrapped around them, played with a Rubik's Cube, licked garbage, and had a completely legit-sounding Indian accent. (Lolwut I put "brown accent" first. The rest of you Advancies are an awful influence on me. xD) I never even knew that Soccer Playing Curry Lover could act before I saw this, and I was totally blown away. Man, that girl has talent. WHY MUST EVERYONE I KNOW BE SO GOOD AT EVERYTHING?!?!

Another one of the plays, called Don't Fear the Reaper, is a day in the life of the Grim Reaper: the day he gets fired. Besides the performances, which I'll fawn over in a moment, the play was MASTERFULLY written. There are a few scenes, and each one gradually reveals a little more of the Reaper. The first scene, we just see him onstage, looking very unsettling and like Death. In the second scene, he actually talks a little, and you can see he has a bit of an ego about being Death. "Steve, I am the Omega. I am..." (here he turns to face the audience) "... Death."
"Just five more minutes, Grandma!" xD
Anyways, in the third scene, he actually gets called in to have a conversation with God, who's apparently not a big fan of the compassion he's been showing to the recently departed. This leads to him getting fired, and replaced by Jeremy, a.k.a. Bug Death. Death, now called Bill, isn't too thrilled about being replaced, and proceeds to run away as fast as he can with the scythe, leading to some rather unfortunate consequences.

On to the performances! Man oh man, these were all really epic. The married couple at the beginning was really well-chosen, and I think my favorite part would have to be the sexy pose they struck, with the husband in his underwear and the wife in a very sexy housecoat and nightgown-lingerie-thingy, right before the husband went out to try to destroy Death. All the lights but the spotlight were turned off, and they somehow managed to keep their faces straight while the entire auditorium clapped, cheered, and whistled. xD The fantastically mediocre Steve was played very adorably by someone we shall call... Curly-Haired Spock Fan! :D Didn't know he could act either. His performance knocked my boxer shorts off. Steve was SO CUTE! We also had a very sexy Satan, a very prim and proper God (who appeared to be working on some anger issues), an extremely Asian Donny Destiny (a game show host where 'contestants' decide whether they're going to heaven or hell xD), and a very loving and naive Conception (as in the woman that goes "here's a soul, you get a soul, your child gets a soul, RAINBOW UNICORNS AND GREAT BIG LOVE HUGS FOR EVERYONE!"). Jeremy was played in a marvellously nasal voice by Singing Actor And SGU Fan, who is known on the blog of World Champion Pacer as a-certain-someone-I-dislike, I believe. I knew that this dude loved acting before, but I didn't know he was this good until this play. BRAVO MY FRIENDS!

The third awesome play was called Black Comedy. The main character, Brindsley, was played by My Smexy Friend. (Better name is in the works, I promise. >3<;) Anyways, it slowly becomes apparent that contrary to the image of him presented at the beginning of the play, he is actually the biggest man-ho in existence. Carol, his girlfriend of six weeks, who he has recently become engaged to, has no idea that he's still kind-of-sort-of going out with his girlfriend of four years, Cleah (or however her name is spelled). (Man oh man, that sentence sure is grammatically correct! :D) Furthermore, once a man named Harold enters, it becomes painfully apparent that he has also enjoyed... very friendly encounters with our dear Brindsley. xD Dear lord,I never would have imagined that they could fit that much innuendo into such a short period of time! Of course, all the suggestive comments made by Harold were made that much better by the fact that My Smexy Friend really IS gay. XD He did a very good job at being a frazzled man finally stumbling over every singly tripwire that his lies had set up over the last month or so, and my friend Disturbingly Intelligent Person did a FANTASTIC job of yelling at him for the whole play, which is rather the opposite of his personality, as he's rather shy. I LOVED watching him act like this! It's such a treat to see people acting in ways that they never would in real life.

IN BRIEF: My friends have insane talent, I am SO looking forward to One Acts next year, I'm totally auditioning for One Acts next year, and Freakishly Smart Person looks very attractive in a fanny pack. LOVE!

Day 9: My friend is stupidly awesome. xD

By "friend" I am referring to Sailor Moon Fan Who Is Epic At Drawing. You know who you are....

So yes, I AM aware that this post is one day late, and therefore it is not technically day 9 but rather day 10. Have no fear; I am posting twice tonight. You'll get double the awesome today! :D Why did I miss posting yesterday? It's actually because of Sailor Moon Fan Who Is Epic At Drawing. We were hanging out last night, and after I went home, I forgot to post because I did my next part of the Letter Game. (The Letter Game is something I will doubtlessly be dedicating a post to in the future. It'll probably be a while, unless I get swamped by messages from people [COUGH COUGH U NO WHO U R] who are desperate to discover what this is.) Anyways, I was forced to flee downstairs halfway through, and there was no WAY I was gonna venture aboveground until morning. Plus I kinda forgot after I got started. xD ANYWAYS. About my friend.

We went for a walk last night, and she's a total wuss. =D Like afraid of the dark, "KATRINA DON'T LEAVE MEEEEE," etc. However, tonight she brought herself to a new level of fearfulness. This is the stuff of legends - talked about in books and movies.Seriously. As we were walking, she suddenly jumped and cried, "Aaah!

"... Oh, wait, it's just my shadow."

So yeah. My friend is totally afraid of HER OWN SHADOW.

Told you it was legendary. <3

P.S. If you're wondering why Sailor Moon Fan Who Is Epic At Drawing is just known as Sailor Moon Fan in the labels, read the IN BRIEF: section of this entry.

Day 8: My substitute Japanese teacher is awesomely cute

Seriously. She is SO DANG FRICKEN' ADORABLE. She speaks in Japanese all the time, but she gestures really wildly and somehow you can just tell what she's saying. She's really short, and she smiles ALL THE TIME, and she laughs constantly. Even though she'd like 40 or 50, she's got a really cute giggle. And she's ADORABLE. The funny thing is that I actually learn a LOT when she teaches, even though she's usually speaking Japanese. Maybe that's part of it? The best part, however, is that she's pretty much the only person in the city where I live that's qualified to teach Japanese (besides my teacher, obviously). This means that we always have her when my Japanese teacher is sick/doing awesome shit with the Japanese exchange students and their hosts/partying it up AWL NAHT LAWNG. Seriously awesome. =D

Tall Person Who Steals My Eraser (he's in my Japanese class) used to live in Japan, and he says that the teachers who aren't super strict are pretty much ALL super happy, like her. If this is true, then when I go to Japan in a couple years as part of the exchange, I am going to die of happiness overload. (My happiness, not theirs. When other people are happy, I'm happy. I LOVE happiness! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY) Unfortunately, my Unsettling Friend Who Like Upside-down Pentagrams is also gonna die from a happiness overload if she goes to Japan. Not her happiness. Theirs. She can't handle too much happiness. xD MY UNSETTLING FRIEND NEEDS SPARKLING RAINBOW UNICORN COOKIES. THEN SHE'LL BE ALL BETTER. :D WE CAN BE HAPPY TOGETHER AND SKIP THROUGH MEADOWS OF PINK FAIRIES AND SING SONGS TO EACH OTHER ABOUT JOY AND-- *Unsettling Friend Who Likes Upside-down Pentagrams stabs me from behind* "Foolish human. YOUR SOUL IS NOW MIIIIIIIIINE!!!!"

Day 7: This guy (who is awesome) taught me interesting stuff about money and motivation

There isn't a lot I can say about this video except that it's pretty awesome. It shows some interesting things about money, and that people aren't as motivated by it as they think they are. I will DEFINITELY be keeping this in mind for a long time. It hasn't changed my life, but it's definitely altered the way I think about money (and how to get people to do what I want... HA!).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6XAPnuFjJc

Comment! What do you think of the video? Does it surprise you at all?

Day 6: Awesome music on Saturday evening

The other night, I went to go see the Symphony at the local concert hall. I have always appreciated the arts - I'm volunteering at the Symphony's secondhand book sale in a few weeks - but that evening was something special. Why? Well, they decided that for that night, they were going to make themselves more than just impressive. For the Oscar-themed performance, they became better than just great.

They made themselves AWESOME.

1. As we walked in the door, we found a plush red carpet beneath our feet. A few people set up with cameras, notepads, and a giant sign declaring "PRESS" shouted, "Miley Cyrus! Miley Cyrus! Can I have your autograph?" at my family as we strolled towards the elevator (for my poor old decrepit granny).

2. After sitting down, we watched the orchestra trickle onstage over the course of about twenty minutes. This was no ordinary orchestra, however: there was not a single formally-costumed person among them. Instead, I saw Woody, Glinda the Good Witch, Dorothy, Captain Jack Sparrow, Inspector Clousseau, the Pink Panther, and my personal favorite... a half dozen men and women in black leotards, tutus, tights, and full-out Black Swan makeup. DAAAAMN. Men should wear tutus more often...

3. The maestro not only appeared to be Asian (LOVE), he was also quite amusing. Before each piece of music, he gave a short(ish) introduction about the movie and about the music. It was also pretty cute when he a) forgot one of the composer's names and b) started introducing the wrong piece. xD

4. The musicians stayed in full costume while playing their instuments. That's pretty impressive. And the men never changed out of their tutus. =D

5. THE MUSIC. Dear lordeh. They did so well! Not only with the playing, obviously but with the choosing. I had no idea that the Star Wars theme could be so... epic! That's really the best way to describe it; both with the modern meaning, very good/exciting, and with the original meaning, grand/sweeping.

6. Away with tradition, Sexy Asian Maestro declared. No more polite, conservative clapping. Cheer like you're at a Riders game and we just scored our seventh touchdown! (My province is a little... football crazy. ^^;) And the absolute taboo about NEVER clapping between movements? Begone! Tonight is a night for different!

7. Have I mentioned that the tutu-men were totally sexy? Because they were.

8. Sexy Asian Maestro's commentary about Black Swan, which he only saw a couple weeks before the show: "Well. I... I saw parts of Natalie Portman I never thought I'd see, that's for sure." LOL. So cute and awkward. My grandmother laughed.

9. One of the performers actually goes to my school. If that ain't awesome, I don't know WHAT is!

IN BRIEF: Asian dudes rock, as does the Symphony. And men in tutus are hawt.

Day 5: Awesome music video

Almost forgot to post today... thanks Colombian Rice Eater! =D

Short entry today. Bean had me listen to this song about a week ago. If you live with your parents, I would recommend listening while they are NOT within earshot. It's not inappropriate, it's just the kind of thing that makes them give you weird looks. XD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgAYFVHwY_c Short, but beautiful. Really. It is. XD It's called "If I Were Gay."

Day 4: Nintendo makes some pretty awesome shit

I'm gonna make a big leap here and assume that a) you all know what a Wii is and that b) you all know this was created by Nintendo. I'm also assuming that you know what a DS is, and that it was also made by Nintendo. Both of these consoles were pretty revolutionary when they came out: the Wii because it senses the controller's motion, and the DS because its screen is touch-sensitive. Well, guess what? Nintendo's done it again.

Their new console is called the 3DS, meaning that all of its games are in 3D. There are two major advances in this console: the first being, obviously, the 3D, and the second being augmented reality. There's a pretty good change that you don't know what the latter is, so I'll explain each one in detail.

First, the 3D technology is pretty wicked. Its images are clearer than most 3D televisions, and it doesn't make your eyes sore. The feature can be adjusted and turned off, which is pretty epic in itself, but it also is unlikely to make your eyes tired even after several hours of gaming. The best thing about this, however, is that no 3D glasses are required - a thin plastic film over the screen does the job without the hassle or the risk of losing them.

To explain augmented reality, I'm gonna have to get a bit science-y, so forgive me if this gets a bit murky or hard to understand. This stuff is pretty cutting-edge, and it holds massive potential. We all know what virtual reality is, right? Augmented reality combines virtual reality with the real world, hence, 'augmented.' It's difficult to explain, but basically, the forward-facing cameras on the 3DS are intelligent. If you point the console at a counter, the camera thinks, 'this is a counter.' It can recognize objects in the way that a human can. If you've got a special playing card scanned into the 3DS, it thinks, 'this is a counter. I need to turn it into a Mayan-looking box.' It then disassembles the counter on your screen and reassembles it into an ancient-looking box. Open the box, and you find a forest with archery targets on it. If that isn't awesome, I don't know what is.

But the 3DS isn't just a cool video game system. As far as I know, this is the first augmented reality device to be made commercially available EVER. The other uses for augmented reality could literally change the world, especially in education. Let's say that you are an amateur mechanic, with only basic knowledge about the structure of an engine. Suddenly, you're put into a position where you need to fix a Rolls Royce jet engine, and there isn't anyone around to tell you what to do or guide you through the procedure. What the hell are you going to do?

If you have an augmented reality headset thing, it's as simple as making sure that you have the right program downloaded. Put it on, and the augmented reality will show you what to do. It will tell you what tools you need, and when you look at them, point them out. It'll tell you what to do, point out where to do it, and tell you when you're done. In this manner, a total novice can perform complicated and difficult repair jobs. But it's more than that. When this technology is advanced enough, it can be distributed to medical workers in third-world countries. If someone needs a kidney transplant or other difficult surgery immediately, and no one that knows how to do the procedure is close enough to get there in time, a doctor in training can use augmented reality to learn on the fly. Obviously having someone well versed is better, but a novice using augmented reality is WAAAAY better than a novice without one - or dying because no one is able to do the surgery.

IN BRIEF: The Nintendo 3DS is not only a really epic, cutting-edge video game system, it is contributing greatly to both 3D and augmented reality technologies, the latter of which is as awesome as holograms are and even more useful.

Day 3: My teachers are awesome

I'm sure that everyone reading this has had at least one of THOSE teachers - you know, the ones that make you fall asleep in class, the ones that don't really know what they're talking about, etc. Luckily, we've all had at least one of THOSE teachers, too - the ones that are funny, goofy, really cool, and just have some REALLY great hair.

This semester, I have been lucky enough to have gotten pretty much all great teachers. My first period (Bio 20) is like THE stereotypical English teacher. Old, obsessed with people being on time, wants you to have a portfolio of every single assignment to be handed in with each test, etc. Luckily, she's not quite as strict as she was at the beginning of the semester, and she's turned out to be rather sweet (as long as you hand in your assignments like a good little minion). Best part? She likes me! :D Dear lord, if she didn't like me, I'd be so screwed. XD My homeroom is Math 20, and the teacher is AWESOME. Definitely one of the best I've ever had, if not THE best. A lot of the classes begin with him paying a few levels of Mario on his Wii, and sometimes he just announces at the start of the period, "You know what? I don't feel like teaching today. I'm too lazy. Let's have a Wii tournament!" And then we legitimately play on the Wii for the whole class. WIN. the best part is, though, he's actually a REALLY good teacher. I mean, I'm good at math, but he makes it seem simple beyond belief. (Even when it's actually not.) He's pretty awesome! 

My Japanese teacher is SO Japanese. She's super cute! She even bows a little, just out of instinct, when she shakes people's hands. She's also SUPER good at teaching. If someone else was teaching Japanese, I don't think I'd be doing nearly as well. My afternoon classes, history and English, are also pretty great. The history teacher isn't outstanding, but he's not bad either, and he makes a real effort to make a class notorious for being dull a little more exciting. We're learning about the Industrial Revolution right now, and he's managed to relate both Frankenstein (yes, the original novel) and Star Trek to this unit. (We watched the episode where they introduce the Borg on Wednesday. Something to do with how people view technology.) My English teacher, on the other hand, is EPIC. He has the most awesome hair I have ever seen a teacher wear, and on anyone else it would look AWFUL, but he manages to pull it off. (I mean, he does look slightly nerdy, but that's forgivable as he teaches classes for freaky smart people and he himself is a freaky smart person.)

Anyways, the parent-teacher interviews were today (technically yesterday), and not only were there DELICIOUS cookies, but my teachers basically just complimented me. I FEEL SO LOVED. Dear lordeh I am lucky.

IN BRIEF: Having many great teachers who assign little homework, are great at their jobs, and like you is awesome, especially when you never handed in a major assignment in history but your teacher never noticed (or if he did, he never commented on it). And cookies are DELICIOUS. Yes, it does happen to be after 2:00 in the morning. What? I party hard!
