Day 55: Emily the Strange is one supremely awesome girl

Yesterday morning, I woke up at Sailor Moon Fan Who Is Epic At Drawing's house. She was still asleep, so I took a couple of pics of her sleeping, then went to the kitchen table. I cut myself an apple and started to read the book.

And OH MY FLIPPING LORD is it amazing! At first it was intriguing, then it was very interesting, and then halfway through the book something exciting and dramatic happened - only we have no idea exactly what that exciting and dramatic thing is. Some parts of the book make you wonder if she's dreaming or if it's real, but then you read it again to make sure and yup it's real. So here are thirteen things included in the book:

1. Amnesia
2. A dress with infinitely large internal pockets
3. A ridiculously small beige town called Blackrock
4. Four black cats with mysteriously hidden collars
5. Doppelgangers
6. Letters from a dead woman who appears to be able to predict the future
7. A secret doorway leading to somewhere dark with black lava that burns you but leaves you unharmed
8. A very high-stakes game of Calamity Poker
9. An amazing van that is epic beyond belief
10. Amnesia... again?!?!
11. A legitimately psychic nine-year-old
12. A centuries-old family feud
13. Lots of lists of thirteen

It is FANTASTICALLY good. I can't wait to get my paws on the next books in the series - library, you are gonna get OWNED! I seriously recommend this series to anyone sitting at home, bored out of their minds, with nothing better to do than click the refresh button while hoping for my blog to have a new post appear. It's EXCELLENT.

Day 54: I do love cyanide, as it is most awesome

(P.S. For every blog post you guys donate I'll do a real one! Incentive much? :D)

This blog is about two things that fit under one title. Hooray!

The first one is the main thing I do late at night. I have discovered the epic joys of Cyanide & Happiness. So mature and intelligent (compared to you guys, anyway)! Such detailed drawings! Such intellectual jokes! Here is one of my personal favorites I've read so far:

See? SEE HOW MATURE AND WONDERFUL IT ISS????

So yeah. Sorry to all of you who thought I was intelligent (HAHA YEAH RIGHT) but this is what I love to do in my spare time. xD

The second part of this is HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN CYANIDE! That's right, kids, it's recipe time again! :D

You'll need:
Peaches
A knife
That's pretty much it

So you take a peach and you eat it. Then you split the pit in half. There's something in the middle that looks like an almond. You cut it up suuuuper fine, then put it in a little bowl with some water. After a while you pick out the pieces of almond-thing and let the water evaporate. You now have cyanide in the bottom of the bowl! YAY!

However, this leaves a VERY little amount - you need fifteen peach-pit-almond things to be able to kill a child, so that amount would just make a fully-grown adult sick - so if you're planning on killing someone you will need a LOT more.

Hopefully this will come in handy if you ever need to murder someone! Never let it be said that I won't help someone in need of my vast stores of knowledge! :D

Don't ask how I know this.

Just don't.

Day 53: Bean (aka Sabeastly) is awesommmme!

"Hello, this is Super Ninjutsu Fighting Style Sabeastly. Kate calls me Bean, but that's only because she's retarded. And smells like sweat socks (don't ask me what those are).
Since Katrina hasn't really blogged in a while and isn't consistent at all, I took her up on her offer to write a post or two for her. 
The awesome thing that I will write about now is a date calculator. Date calculators are awesome. I used one and figured out that as of today (June 29), the Monster is 39 posts behind. 38, now that this is posted. She's really an awful person. Totally unreliale. But that's off topic.
Anyway, date calculators are really awesome. If you wanna find out how long it is until your birthday, just use one! I know that my birthday is 138 days away. 
I find this one most useful and easiest to use: http://www.date-calculator.net/

Peace Out!"


I have wonderful friends...


Wanna help Katrina get caught up on blog posts and therefore get access to Colombian Rice Eater's blog? Donate now! Email it to me (my gmail account, please, my sasktel one is being really effed up right now) and you'll get the reward of being featured on an extremely prestigious and popular blog with a reputation for eloquent speech! (SHUT UP YOU BITCHES!) Anyways. I do enjoy chocolate chip cookies...

Day 52: How to make an awesome breakfast (indoors)

This post will teach you how to make cinnamon toast, a really delicious breakfast that is super easy and quick (unless you toaster is from the Stone Age, in which case it sucks to be you).

What you'll need (shown above):
Bread
Toaster
Plate
Knife
Spoon
Cinnamon
Brown Sugar (white sugar works almost as well, but brown sugar's texture makes it better since it's a little moister than white sugar is)
Butter (calm thyself, Quiet Smart Airplane Dude.)

Step Zero: If the bread is not pre-sliced, slice it, you moron.

Step One: Toast the bread. Really, I shouldn't have to tell you this.

Step Two: Put toast on a plate. This can get a little messy.

Step Three: IMMEDIATELY after Step Two, butter the toast with the knife. You need to make sure the butter melts and soaks into the toast, so it need to be hot. Even the seven seconds I used for taking the picture allowed the toast to cool considerably. So be fast!

Step Four: Scoop up some brown sugar with a spoon. With your finger, push it off the spoon and onto the toast. You want it to be be pretty thick - don't smooth it out with your finger or a knife. Oh, and you definitely should NOT 'accidentally' knock some off onto the plate or counter or table just so you can have an excuse to eat more sugar. I certainly didn't do that.

Step Five: Dump some cinnamon onto that bitch. How much you add is a matter of taste, but I LOVE cinnamon, so I add a fair bit. At least add enough for you to be able to see the difference in colour, or you wouldn't be able to taste it.

Step Six: Clean up, so your parents don't have you thrown into a dumpster. That's what the plate was there for - so you don't have to do as much cleaning. Still, as you can see, I got cinnamon on the counter anyways. xD

Step Seven: Eat it! Hopefully you'll find it delicious. A perfect way to celebrate having enough time in the morning to make it, since you don't have to rush off to school. Yay summer!

Step Eight: Try adding other random shiz. Take pictures, and post about your adventure on your blog! Or just tell me bout it so I can taste-test it myself. You might even get a blog post devoted to you! After all, that's the ultimate goal of all you lovely readers, isn't it? :D

So tell me if you tried it, what it tasted like, if you had an epic fail, and if you think my pajamas are sexy. Thanks! <3

Day 51: Colombian Rice Eater writes some pretty awesome stories

Here's one he texted me last night.

"There once was a lizard that had no friends. His life sucked monkey butt - literally. That's how he made a living.So he decided to change all that and vowed to become a freaking dragon! But then he realized that's impossible so he became a hit man for Colombian Rice Eater instead. Soon, with the lizard's help, Colombian Rice Eater's underground business became top dog and no one could stop him! Until Katrina came over and beat Colombian Rice Eater so bad for not returning her bag that he died. So the lizard started working for her, and the world went to hell as she took over on December 21st, 2012.

THE END! :D"

That is all.

Day 50: Thunderstorms are REALLY awesome

A couple days ago - on Wednesday - I got caught in the rain. Sailor Moon Fan Who Is Epic At Drawing kept shrieking before the rain started because she's afraid of thunderstorms. xD She kept on delaaaaaying walking home from the plays we watched (which were AWESOME)... Had to congratulate this person, look for that person... even though I told her I would get caught in the rain. She didn't think I would. xD Fool.

So after we walked to her house, I headed for home. About halfway there, it started to sprinkle a little bit. Soon it was full-on raining, and I giggled and giggled and it was FUN. I'm guessing it would have been really unsettling to watch me walking home because I was just laughing the whole way home. Even after I got inside it took about ten minutes for me to completely stop laughing. Then I took off my shirt and my pants and put on a bathrobe. I felt realleh sexy! :D My hair was all super-curly and wet because that's what my hair does when it gets wet.

And now I have more of le story in place. About Storm and Kemi. Even though none of you know who either of those people are. xD Just a thought.

So I totally love getting caught in the rain without an umbrella... but next time, sweetie, please listen when I tell you I'm gonna get soaked if we don't leave, okay? ^^;

Day 49: The Doctor Who Mid-season finale was REALLEH awesome.

So my thoughts on the Doctor Who mid-season finale:

1. He's never risen higher, and it's time for him to fall. OSHIT

2. Anyone else noticing the interesting doctor/warrior parallels here? The Sontaran, a warrior, was also a nurse. Rory, a nurse, was dressed like a Centurion - a warrior. And of course there was that interesting thing about "doctor" meaning "mighty warrior" in the forest language.

3. So I'm positive that the little girl is Melody Pond, a.k.a. you-know-who. There's no doubt about that. I would think she could be Jenny, but that wouldn't explain why she's soooo young (I mean regenerations can change your appearance's age but I doubt they can by that much) and why there were pics of Amy holding her. What I'm wondering is, how many times can she regenerate? Is it the same number as the Doctor can - thirteen? How many does she go through before becoming *MAJOR SPOILER* the River we know and love? *END SPOILER* Was she a time traveler before, or has she legitimately LIVED for those thousands of years to get to the time she's in today without any time travel? And of course there are the obvious questions about what the frick did the Silence want with her, why was she in a spacesuit, etc. that will be answered later.

4. On the Doctor's death in the first episode... I don't think it was Melody in the spacesuit. Before that, I'd thought it was her, but then River would have known what what was going to happen and wouldn't have been so shocked. Which brings me to the important question... WHO WAS IT?!?!?!

5. So the Silurians eat people.
...
Mommy?

6. What does the crib say in Gallifreyan, and why was the Doctor being all secretive about it? It's gonna be a plot element later, that's for sure, but how?

7. Was anyone else completely in love with the nurse Sontaran? I mean really. "You'll be fine. I hope one day we can meet in battle, at which point I will crush your puny life out of existence. And remember to get plenty of rest!" "I have had my genes spliced blah blah... I can produce great quantities of lactated fluid!" *thumps his chest for emphasis*  Okay, so it isn't word for word, but COME ON. This dude was AWESOME.

PLEASE COMMENT AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK! Whovians only, as nobody else will have even the FAINTEST idea what I'm talking about. 

Day 48: Anime conventions are so FREAKING awesome...

... it's unbelievable. Even though this was more like a party, I think. :XD:

(TAlking about the anime convention I went to on Saturday the 4th. Just so you know.)

I spent about $70 dollars on stuff, including this AMAZING PLUSHIE, so I now possess $15 in total in the WHOLE WORLD plus spare change. ;_; I got a T-shirt, two bookmarks (one for a friend), a pair of earrings (for said friend), a Sailor Mercury bead-keychain-thing, a free comic book, and two pictures, one for me and one for the same friend. I'm gonna upload a picture of my awesome stuff soon, I hope! If I can actually find the motivation to work on stuff, I am so TOTALLY gonna have a booth there next year. I'm thinking Sailor Moon and Pokemon plushies, a few clay Pokemon and Sailor Moon things, a lot of chibis, and a few really awesome other pictures. I MUST IMPROVE ON EVERYTHING AND MAKE MONEEEEH ASFKBSEGLKJAOUDFSDLFKGJHDLIBGIKJDFNVLISAUEHBNFSDZJL

Anyways. A LOT of my friends were there. Chinese Girl We All Love, Closet DaD Fan, Girl With A Really Long Braid, Pretty Girl I Barely Know, Sailor Moon Fan Who Is Epic At Drawing, Supreme Harem Master, Anime Club Leader, and Slightly Creepy Person, who walked in being chill and walked out with a girlfriend. :XD: PLAYEEEERRRRR. I have lots of pictures I'll upload of our cosplays. Soooo many people asked to take a picture of me and I felt REALLY HONOURED! So there are probably a lot of cool pictures being uploaded on Facebook right now - who knows, maybe even on dA! - of me being super attractive as a BLONDE GEISHA. Worship meee!!!

I took several pictures of people with cool cosplays... Sailor Jupiter, Zelda, No-Face (who scared the shit outta me!), a lot of my friends, and cool stuff like that. There were a few people I really wish I'd taken pictures of: a REALLY REALLY HOT guy with no shirt on (and, to quote Sailor Moon Fan Who Is Epic At Drawing, with "the body of a god") from Street Fighter or some shiz like that, an old dude from Dragonball Z, Pretty Girl I Barely Know (she was Hermione), several lolitas, the Eleventh Doctor (COMPLETE WITH FEZ), and this really attractive guy in epic clothing. Okay, so I admit that he's probably like ten years older than me, but he was SUPER attractive. His cosplay looked super familiar but I couldn't place it, and as we were all leaving I asked him what it was. He told me the reason I couldn't figure out what his cosplay was is that he, like me, wasn't actually cosplaying. Apparently he was wearing EGA , or Elegant Gothic Attire (or something like that. He was attractive, okay?!?!?!), which is the male counterpart of Gothic Lolita. He also told me that the reason I thought he looked familiar is because I was probably thinking of Alucard from Hellsing, who dresses in the same style. He moved his hands while he spoke in a really cool way, like he was some Victorian dude. And he had a CANE. Also, during the dance that took up the last three hours, he actually DANCED. While most people were just doing the typical 'untz untz untz untz' kind of modern dancing (BOOOOORIIIIING), he was somehow able to pull off ACTUALLY dancing. With a cane. Stylishly. I was REALLY impressed.

The dance part probably requires a little explanation. This wasn't exactly your typical anime con. There was an artist's alley, yes. (I met this one person I know from deviantART in real life. WHEEEE!) There were guest speakers (voice actor dude, comic artists) there, yes. There was also a raffle, a silent auction, a cosplay contest, an anime screening, and a dance from nine until midnight. I went home for supper, and to remove the annoying white makeup from my face (although I re-applied the funky lips and eyeliner and blush-spot-things so I still looked geisha-like). We returned just in time to catch the results of the cosplay contest. Anime Club Leader got an honourable for her costume! :'D Later, while we waited for the dance to start, we got started on a movie called "Summer Wars." We ended up watching the whole thing, giving us like an hour left for dancing. Good movie, by the way. Reminds me of War Games...

So. Next year? Me and Sailor Moon Fan Who Is Epic At Drawing are making a lolita costume for her in the next little while. I am hoping to make a really epic Sailor Moon costume in the distant future. I might get a table to sell stuff at and make money. MONEYMONEYMONEYMONEYMONEYMONEYMONEYMONEY And I am not going to arrive later than when the doors open, and I shall never leave.

Day 47: Broken compuers are SO not awesome

So my Mac - my beautiful, flawless, wonderful Mac - is at the computer
hospital right now. It's not ACTUALLY broken, but the DVD burner need
fixing. This mean I'm in my mom's really really old laptop. This has
led to some issues.

1. I can't go on deviantART. This computer is so old that not only do
most websites (including dA) not format properly, it has issues
understanding where stuff is. When I click on "login," nothing
happens. I can't log in.

2. I can't check my email. Besides dA, this is pretty much all I use
the computer for. I'm actually working out the details about going to
someone's graduation in a couple of weeks, and I'm doing this through
email. I would normally just use my Gmail account to talk to her, but
this computer doesn't have her email address in it anyways. The bigger
issue is that I can't even access my email account from any computer
but that one. Why? Well, this is going to require a little backstory.
Former AcTal kids, remember that persuasive letter we had to write at
the end of Gr. 5? (Probably not. Whatever, you all suck anyways!)
Well, my persuasive letter was about why my parents should allow me to
have an email address - I wasn't allowed to have one until then. Long
story short, I got one, and I still use it to this day. Backstory #2:
Macs have an application called "Mail." This lets you access - you
guessed it! - your email. No logging into accounts, no need to open a
web browser. It's awesome. Now this is the problem: My parents decided
that, because I was 10 years old, I obviously wasn't responsible
enough to come up with my own password; so they set up the account for
me. A couple years ago, they discovered that (surprise, surprise) they
don't remember the password they created any more. This means that I
can only access my email account from that specific Mail application
on that specific computer. Joy.

3. I can't look at anyone's blogs. I have all the addresses
bookmarked, and only two are memorized. One of them is Bean's (I've
already read it, which still sucked - to be explained in #4) and one
of them is now private so I can't read it. ARGH.

4. I can't watch videos. I haven't checked if YouTube works, but that
site is useless for my purposes. I can't watch ANY of the embedded
videos on Bean's blog. And other stuff. Which sucks.

5. I can't type stuff up, for school or my personal life. I have to
type stuff up and print it off this week, but if the computer doesn't
come back soon, I'm pretty much screwed. I can't type up invitations
for a schoolwork-burning-fest (well, I could type them, but I still
wouldn't be able to print them off as this is not hooked up to my
printer), which is annoying, and I can't type stuff up for a school
essay I have to write on Friday, which is
holy-fuck-I'm-gonna-die-dear-

God-help-me.

So yeah. Basically everything sucks right now.

However, this blog is supposed to be about significantly non-sucky
things, so I will now write all the reasons Macs are wonderful.

1. They aforementioned Mail application. It is AWESOME and convenient
like you wouldn't believe.

2. When Windows brags about how their computers have thin screens,
they're conveniently forgetting to mention the giant box that does the
actual computing. Macs don't have that giant box. The computer is in
the actual computer.

3. The "dashboard" that chills out on the bottom of the screen, which
is way cleaner and easier and more organized and WAY COOLER-LOOKING
than the shit Windows have on their screens.

4. The fastest web browser in the world? Safari, when used in a Mac.
All of the other browsers, when used on either computer, are slower
than that.


5. Starting up the computer, logging in, and opening applications do
not take TWENTY FRICKING MINUTES. 'Nuff said.

6. Freakishly Smart Person uses a Mac.
Does there actually need to be more evidence than that alone?


So yeah. Macs are awesome.

SO IS AMANDA TAPPING ASDKJFSKLJFBHALWSFJGBDILF I LOVE YOU
AMANDAAAAAAAAAAA SDKJFBALEWJFBAWSFGSERFGLASEKDHBFGLAIUES

AND NOW IT WON'T FUCKING POST WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!?!

 

Added later: This post was actually typed up yesterday, but the computer sucks so bad it wouldn't post when I hit the "Post" button. I couldn't even save it as a draft. So I had to use my secondary email account to email it to myself, and I'm posting it from Sabine's laptop. Here. At school. During lunch hour. RAWR.

Day 46: This picture is AWESOME.

It's so cool; it deserves its own blog post. It's just that awesome.

SATISFIED, BEAN-BRAIN?

Fuck yeah.

I didn't take this picture but God I wish I had.

Sorry you only get one short (although utterly awesome!) post tonight; I am SO DONE MY DEBATE REBUTTALS we are all fucked.

Day 45: House is WAY more awesome than Glee

The proof is right here. What do you take when you add Hugh Laurie singing and playing the piano, subtract the big budget, and put the choreographers on acid?

This video. AWESOME. SO AWESOME. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iXfwBlXFv4

This actually IS ridiculously sexy. SO SUCK IT!

Okay. Enough posts for today, I think. :D

Day 44: Cuddy's next awesome dream!

Butch & the Kid, anyone? This dream was full of symbolism for her. xD I LOVE ME SOME BARBECUED SHRIMP!

GOD DAMMIT WHY CAN I STILL NOT EMBED THESE EPIC VIDEOS? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccWFcBaowTI

Lol. Obvious symbolism is obvious.

Day 43: House is the only thing that could possibly make zombies awesome

How, you might ask? Well, by the dream House had, with his entire team turning into zombies. His cane is so useful - who knew it can also be used as an axe-cane and turned into a gun? :D

Dammit still can't embed. Oh well! Sorry for the flipped image, it was the only half-decent one I could find. xD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Unx3Hlz8Fpk

Day 42: OMG THE ULTIMATE ANSWER TO LIFE, THE UNIVERSE, AND EVERYTHING! AWESOMMMMME

Okay, I'm sorry, but this video absolutely HAS to be dedicated to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I watched it in math last Friday and this Monday. That movie is SO full of crack. AWESOME! British people are super cool.

The book is really good too. Here's an example of its crack: the speed of light is not, in fact, the fastest thing in the universe, because the only thing that can travel faster than the speed of light is bad news. What this means is that the best missiles are powered by bad news, so that nothing the missiles are fired at can escape.

Genius, no?

And the female star, Zooey Deschanel, is one of my favorite actresses. She always plays roles of people that are a little bit weird, and I'd LOVE to see how much of that is a result of her personality.

PLUS SHE IS SUPER PRETTY!

So yes. 42. 42 Advancies... there has GOT to be some cosmic power for that to have happened. I mean it's just too perfect, don't you think?

Day 41: Cuddy has awesome dreams

This video is Cuddy's nightmare version of what her daughter could turn out to be like if she died and House was left to care for her. xD

It won't let me embed anything so here's a link! :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muRzrEfNx0U

SEXY INDEED.

Day 40: Math ain't awesome, but let's do it anyways...

So I did the math on my calendar, and I am currently 32 posts behind. This is the first of many catch-up posts, I suppose. I have developed an ingeniously simple way of keeping track of how many behind I am with this:

Write.


It.


Down.

AMAZING, AMIRITE? But seriously. This is gonna be a pain in the butt, getting caught up again... to make it easier, every day that I post, I will post a series of similar blog entries. This will make it easier for me to write them, and for you to read them, because you'll be able to easily figure out where you left off. (I hope.)

So... first set of posts. Okay then. Let's do... uh... any ideas? ^^;

I'll post some awesome videos today!

Okay, I'm pretty sure that you've all seen House... or at least know what it is. Anyways, this one episode had like five different weird dream sequences in them. I'll post one video with each entry. Seriously, they're awesome even if you've never seen the show. Here's the first one: Cuddy is dreaming about what a family with House could be like.

SEXY.
