BEDA: Obviously this post is important... and stuff...

April 30, 2011.  Last day of BEDA.

I'd like to say this was a fairly successful project, even if you think I didn't do so well.  It's been a rough month for me,and I'm proud that we got so many days done out of the thirty.  Good job, everyone, that's a wrap.  Although blogging everyday in April is done, I still want to try and blog at least twice a week, so someone get on that and remind me if I haven't gone a wild textual rant in a couple days.

Tonight is the second episode of Doctor Who this season and I want to watch, however, when that is over I'm rushing strait to my computer to watch Starkid's new musical Starship.  I IS SO EXCITED. :D (<-- me). Yay.

Also, today I practiced my guitar for at least 3 hours and I don't know if bar chords are my best friend or my worst enemy.  Let me ask my fingers when the swelling, redness, and numb-tingly-pain stops.

Also also, today I watched The Sorcerer's Apprentice.  To start it off I asked my brother if they were going to steal the Declaration of Independence... with magic.  It's surprisingly a really good movie.  The guy is so bad ass by the end, in the most dorky way possible, and I love it.  Watching it while sitting on an exercise ball was fun, too.

I suppose I should end this post with a bang, as it's last in the Great Adventure that was BEDA, but - hey, I'm not going anywhere.

Song of the day is a piece of Art, I think.

The Bacon Song

BEDA: I Hate Mondays

So... I'm pretty busy today being a grumpy teenage girl to think, please leave a message after the tone.

Remember that cake I mentioned the other day... yesterday..?  Was that only yesterday?  Oh, God, this is gonna be a long week...  Anyway, the cake.  Yeah, it had blue frosting and when I say blue, I mean we-added-an-entire-bottle-of-blue-food-coloring-in-the-hopes-of-it-turning-TARDIS-blue blue.  So it was recently discovered that every single piece causes your entire mouth, including teeth and lips, to turn en electric blue.  Also, the offer of cake has been removed as a result of there not being any left.

Now, I shall leave you all in the hopes of watching Ghost Adventures on Netflix.  Have I mentioned that show is addicting?  In the I'm-never-going-to-sleep-again kind of way.

Song of the day is the song that's been stuck in my head (Thanks, Adriana ;) ).

Rolling In the Deep - Adele

I want a tambourine.

BEDA: Dr. Pepper/Root Beer

What's that, five days that I've missed now?  Sounds about right, and although I had many reasons for not doing the blog everyday (some of which are decent), I'm not even gonna choose one of them.

Okay, maybe one.

Yesterday was the season premiere of Doctor Who, and if you have no idea what I'm talking about, just bear with me; I swear this geekout will be brief... Maybe.  I invited over my two friends who are also fellow Whovians, and my brother and sister and I had a rockin' party.  But, since it was me who was planning and in charge of things, naturally they were all last minute and chaotic.  A cake was made, and the decorating took an astonishing amount of effort considering it was just a basic cake.  But we were determined to make it look like the TARDIS.  In the end, we forgot about the cake and didn't even have time to eat it, so if anyone wants a piece of blue-covered cake, come and get it.  Because we haven't even put a dent in it.  So, in summary, no time to blog yesterday.

Break's almost over and I think I'm going to cry.  I'm just so freaking done with this year of school.  My one goal is to pass, and just go there.  *Insert flipout here*.  I wish it were summer.

Oh, happy Easter and happy Passover to everyone.  Or if you're atheist, happy random day of the week. :)

I think that just about covers it for today, and I'm exhausted because I didn't fall asleep until 4 this morning, and I've been cleaning all day.  SPRING CLEANING IS FUN (not).

Song of the day today is due to the fact that I watched Easy A last night at 2 in the morning.

I was about to end the blog right there, but I realized that all I'd written about was basically my Doctor Who themed, Saturday, and some bitching and moaning...  So HAY GUYS, WHAT'S UP???  Wanna hear a story?  Okay, so earlier this week, my family and I went out to lunch at this restaurant, and my dad orders a root beer.  I'm not really a root beer fan, actually, I kind of hate it, but it's not my drink.  So the waitress brings us our drinks and my dad takes a sip and says, "That's not root beer, that's Dr. Pepper.   Here, Sophie, taste it."  Everyone knows I don't like either of the two carbonated beverages, but whatever... I didn't even bother protesting.  I sipped and sure enough it was Dr. Pepper.  Ohmygod.  So dad calls over the waitress and is like, "Excuse me, this isn't root beer, this is Dr. Pepper."  And this is the whole point to the story (that I now realize is super mega boring... Oh well...).  The waitress looks at us and says, "Yeah.  Aren't they the same thing?"  ... Aren't they the same thing?...  Um... no, they are definitely not the same thing, other wise they might have some sort of similar name or something...? This woman was well into her twenties, so tell me, what the... I mean, just... what???  I don't even...

And now you all learned something:  Dr. Pepper in NOT the same as root beer.

BEDA: Adventure

It's April break here in Sophieville, and time is just about ready to take a new turn.  On a Saturday night, one might be at a party, having the time of their life.  Or one could be dabbing their eyes with a tissue, damp and sodden but only seconds old, so that they may have a chance of falling asleep.  Miraculous, and terrifying, life has whizzed past human kind yet another day only to leave a footprint in the sand.  To say that I'm tired would be an understatement, because I feel like my head is going to explode right now.  Today I went to the circus with a couple of my friends, and to be honest, I was... shaking in my boots (yeah - that's definitely what I thought initially...) to have to think of going downtown on the train by myself, and sit in a circle composed of screaming small children, random strangers, and clowns.  (I cannot begin to explain to you the amount of horror the thought of a single clown causes to my head.)  But I did it.  Despite the nervous wreck I was waiting for our stop to come, and watching a mute cross-dressing man in white makeup and a red nose, I did it.  I had to buy myself a four dollar churro to comfort myself, but nonetheless...  I accomplished something today.  Sure, it wasn't the best way to spend more than 20 bucks on a Saturday afternoon, but it was an adventure.  And, quite frankly, I haven't gone on many adventures all by myself, so as a young woman who currently is fifteen years of age, I am proud to say that today I went on an adventure.  Then to top it all off, why not watch seven different episodes of Doctor Who on Netflix?  What says "adventure" more than sitting on your ass for a couple hours watching television?  Quality stuff, right there.

And to top it all off, this is possibly one of my favorite songs ever.  Me encanta.

Dashing Knight - All Caps

I can't find the version I love on the YouTubes!!!  *Insert outrage*  The sadness...  It's off the album Lowercase, if anyone's interested, and I definitely recommend giving it a listen.

BEDA: A Good Idea?

Was doing BEDA a good idea???  Whatever.

 LET'S TALK ABOUT HAPPINESS. 

:D

Things that make me feel like a kid are awesome, to say the least; but the things that always make everything better are:

• Crayons - I mean, seriously. How can you not love the waxy stick figures?
• Cupcakes - Hell. To. The. Yes.  If anything makes someone feel better, it's a cupcake.
• Watching your favorite TV show/Movie.... *cough* Doctor Who *cough*
• Lurking on your friends' internets - You know what I'm talking about: Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Blogspot (Tess W, Imma stalk you).  Don't tell me you haven't done it.
• Sleep.  'Nough said.

That's enough for one day....

OMG.  saw the creepiest thing standing outside a Staples... Someone in a suit, you know?  I think it was supposed to be the Statue of Liberty, but it looked like something out of a horror flick.

SOTD:  A Whole New World - from the Aladdin Soundtrack.  No link because you should know what it is. And if you don't.... SHAME on you.

BEDA: Synonymous of Nerd

So here we go.

Today was Monday.  There's really nothing special about Mondays; people go to school, or they go to work, come home, eat, maybe work a little more, then sleep.  Yep.

Okay, I'm bored; I'm done with that subject.

I like to consider myself a nerd, dork, geek, whatever, I don't really have a preference.  But I do, I mean, I have this entire bookshelf dedicated to Harry Potter, I have two Harry Potter posters on my wall, and my favorite T.V. shows are Doctor Who and Glee.  I like hats and sunglasses, but don't really fancy lots of jewelry.  Last summer I made it my mission to substitute as many words as I could in my American vocabulary with its English parallel.  This mission went according to plan, but I still continue with it well into the present.  Since I've starting watching Doctor Who, though I've definitely made a lot of progress in that area of expertise.  Again *points to face* dork.  I like music, pretty much anything that sounds good to me... Wow, that's specific...

I really hope I'm doing this BEDA thing right.

Song of the day:  Homecoming - Hey Monday

BEDA: April 2, 2011

Tell me, can you understand life as it happens, or do you have to look back on an event to fully understand?  Is there really a full comprehension going on when you're confused?  Take a conversation, for example; a conversation with a friend about a fight over... I don't know... Some social situation... A dance? Your friend comes up to you and starts talking rapidly at you about who-knows-what, and you're just hearing the words.  The names, or the praises and you just can't process.  Does that happen?  Or do you actually speak Teenage Girl?  Anyway, just a though I had.
Today I went for a walk with my dogs, Fenway and Parker, and... meh.  I'm not the biggest fan of being towed down a sidewalk by relatively heavy dog.  Not. A. Fan.

Okay, I'm good.  Orange Soda tastes yummy.

I'm gonna go watch Doctor Who now.

DON'T JUDGE ME.

Fine... judge.  See what I care.  Just wait until unicorns are growling in your window at night.  Then you can tell me if you still judge me.

LOL.
