...forget to write blog posts randomly and then come back the next week like nothing happened...
So, this week we're talking about awards we would win, which is very convenient considering that this week at school we've been deciding all of the graduating class's "most likely to's" so I'll twist the theme and start with that, adding on if I feel so inclined.
There are three main ones that I was dubbed:
1. Most likely to always have to pronounce her last name for people and have them still get it wrong - Yeah, if there was an award for most inconvenient name, I'd get it. Seriously. Sanja Vicentijevic. That is a mouthful even for Serbians like me :P
2. Most likely to meet the Doctor and teach HIM about the space-time continuum - I just LOL'd at that one. As all nerds, I'm a bit of a smarty pants and I like to correct people when they're wrong (seriously, I'm kinda like Ted from HIMYM in that glass shattering habits episode)
3. Most likely to join any conversation and know exactly what they're talking about - Yeah. I'm really social. I'd probably win an award for best conversationalist just because I love to talk so much!
So that's that for now. I have to go finish up some homework, so unfortunately this is where I must bid you all adieu. I wish you fun times in the upcoming week, and seriously, THERE'S JUST TWO AND A HALF MONTHS LEFT TILL SUMMER!!!!
This fact is both exciting and frightening....but mostly exciting.
Can't wait to here from ya tomorrow, Bridget :)

Annica is a procrastinator.
Hello, girls! It's Tuesday. The theme this week is what awards we would win, as the lovely Jess mentioned yesterday. This was kind of difficult for me. I don't know what type of award I would win. I've decided that out of the typical high school awards, I could be a candidate for "Most Shy", "Most Likely To Succeed", "Most Likely to Become President". Not that I necessarily agree with all of that, but I definitely couldn't win anything like "Best Smile" or "Most Comedic". However, I could also be a shoe-in if the award was something like, "Most Nerdy" or "Master of Harry Potter Trivia" or "Best Procrastinator". Speaking of procrastination, I have an English essay to write.

Jess would win MANY awards. Yes.
This week's theme is what awards we would win.
I really wasn't sure what the theme was going to be. But I was inspired by the Shorty Awards, which were broadcasted online tonight. In case you were living under a rock (or don't have a twitter. Same thing.) the Shorty Awards are these award things given out to the best... Actually, let me just use what the website says:

The Shorty Awards are a worldwide effort to engage hundreds of thousands of Twitter users to identify the best people and organizations on Twitter, culminating in a blockbuster ceremony in New York City.Anyway, Maureen Johnson was nominated in the Weird category AND SHE DIDN'T WIN. SO, SO UPSET. This was her, in nervousness:
And she just lost! When they announced the winner, this was me. (You NEED to click on that link. Your life will be changed forever.)
Also, in happier news, my school - well, school newspaper, really - is going to start the voting process for this superficial "Best" contest. Like, best couple, best hair, best eyes... etc. I really, really hope that I'll win the "Most Successful Writer" category.
I'm not kidding, that's an actual category. It's weird, because there are very few people in my school that actually enjoy writing. So, even the people that kind of despise me will still vote for me, because there is literally NO ONE ELSE TO VOTE FOR. :)
But, if I were to win an award, I would want it to be... Most Thought-Provoking. I'd like to be known as someone who gets others thinking. Yeah.
Lastly, thanks so much to everyone for all the birthday wishes! You all rock :D
Annica, I'll read you tomorrow!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESS!!
Before Jess posts anything today, I just wanted to take this opportunity to wish her an amazing birthday today! From all of us at Nerdily Ever After, we hope you have a fantabulous extra awesome year :D

Bridget thinks that it is Friday.
Wait, what day is it?
OH, it's FRIDAY!
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH! ;)
Hola senoritas! Greetings from the lovely Mexico. Today we're talking about things we can't do? Woo hoo hoo!
First of all, I'm annoyed how I *can't* be there to celebrate JESS'S BIRTHDAY WITH HER WHAT WHAAAAT! Happy BIRTHDAY my dear! (I KNOW it was the 24th, SHHH!) (THIS IS OBNOXIOUS CAPSLOCK!)
^ I hope that this is you.
Okay, also, things I can't do:
1. Bend my legs completely straight out. (Short hamstrings)
2. I can't stand those really high pitched noises (like dog whistles). I actually start spazzing, and nobody else can hear them, making it all the more embarassing.
3. I can't do proper bridges in gymnastics due to the fact I'm double jointed in many places.
Alrighty well, I hope you guys have a great weekend, I hope you had a great birfday Jess, and I'll read you guys next week. Oh, and I'm try and send some sun your way. ;)
x Bridget

Winona can't speak in front and is pretty embarassed about that!
Hey girls,
it's Wednesday and sooooo it's Winonaday!
Today and tomorrow I'm visiting classes to improve my presentation skills. Classes are from 9am - 1pm and I have to admit today's class was the most boring class I have ever visited in my life!
We have to read out poems, how does that help me in any way to get to a great presentation next month?
Well, at least I have my friends in this class so it won't become too boring.
So, coming to this week's theme:
I guess you can already figure out what I am going to tell you now by the title of this post. I just CAN'T speak in front of people. That's also why I'm visiting this presentation skills class.
I can prepare the greatest speech ever, then I'm all optimistic about it, get in front of the class, turn to the people and I begin to shake. I shake so much that I have to laugh at myself. Which is weird when you're to talk about war. So this is something that I absolutely cannot do! I also can't snap!
@ Jess: Ahhh, did you already get the new Panic! album? It's brilliant, isn't it? I'm seeing them live on May, 8th. :)
Sanja, I'll read you tomorrow :)
Today is awesome because I was able to sleep until 8 o'clock!

Annica is all moody and negative again. Also, pinky fingers.
Hi. It's Tuesday.
EDIT:
I have a YouTube channel with my friend. She needs a punishment. If you have any suggestions of what her punishment should be, it would be amazing if you could leave those suggestions in the comments. Okay.
The theme this week is things we can't do. Well, that fits the mood of the day. Why are Tuesdays always the bloody worst? Why?! I'd say that 80% of my Tuesdays are terrible days. A good Tuesday is something rare and something that should be savored. Tuesdays suck. I probably shouldn't say that, because I post on Tuesdays and they're my days and stuff. It's not because of this blog that Tuesdays suck. It's school. Bloody school. You aren't refreshed and awake from the weekend like you are on Mondays. You aren't close to Friday. You aren't half-way through to your way to the weekend. And for some reason or another, teachers all plan to make Tuesdays be homework days. Thursdays also tend to have a terrible amount of homework, but they are close to Friday, so that makes them better than Tuesdays.
Okay. Wow. Today will probably be a long post from me. I have this terrible, impending homework assignment of doom and I really don't want to do so instead I am going to complain to you all and cry silently to myself. Maybe not so much the latter. But I am typing angrily. For your sake, I will try and be as positive as possible. I know that it's not fun to read angry/sad blogs unless they're insightful. Insightfulness and eloquency are two things I have yet to master.
On to the theme? I think so.
One thing that I can't seem to do is have normal social interaction. I am fluent in squeaking and mumbling and a master of the timid. If someone who I do not know well attempts to make friendly conversation, I squeak a small reply or laugh awkwardly and then proceed to stare at them with huge owl eyes. Much like this emoticon: o____o That emoticon describes my life. That is my life. My teachers always look at me warily, as if they are unsure of what to think of me, and it is probably because that expression resides on my face so much of the time. I look surprised and confused and just out in my own world. But yeah, if somebody is nice to me or something, I usually then try to avoid them after that. Like, if they smile at me in the hallway, I then always try to avoid eye contact with that person. No, I don't have any idea what is wrong with me. I think that I'm just a shy nerd. That's probably it. But I can't just go to school tomorrow and smile at everyone and talk to people. That would be suspicious. Shy girls don't suddenly turn outgoing. Those things only happen in movies.
Another thing has come to mind, and it is rather obscure. But I cannot do anything that involves too much use of my pinkies. You may be wondering what odd things I get up to that involve pinkies, but it's nothing too weird. When we were learning typing, the program would always tell us to use our pinkies to press certain keys. Now, I am a pretty advanced typer. Well, I don't have to look at the keyboard...and I type at least 80 words per minute. Not exactly advanced, but better than the n00bs at my school. The thing that holds me back is the fact that I do not type correctly. I have developed a method that involves limited pinkie use. In fact, I don't think I have used my right pinkie for the last five minutes and the left pinkie is pretty much only used for shifting purposes. Anyway, the teacher would come around and check our hands and she would always get on me for not using the correct fingers. "Use your pinkie to hit the backspace key!" she'd say. I would so long as she was looking, then go back to my own methods when she walked off. No! Too far away. It hurts to use pinkies. It pains me. Also, this proved to be bad for my piano playing. I always falter when I have to stretch my pinkie too far. My pinkies just fail at their job.
Woah. Well that is your much-too-long blog post of the day. Hahaha. If you read all of that, you are truly awesome and I give you props. I mean, this blog post was about pinkie fingers. Really? Wow, Annica. You are an interesting blogger. INTERESTING.
In other news, I had a great time subbing on Five Teen Vloggers yesterday. It was fun. Thank you, Jess and her fellow vloggers, for giving me that opportunity. :3

Jess says, "RAWR STRAIGHT LINES RAWR!"
This week's theme is what we just CAN'T do. Mine is kind of ridiculous, but yeah, I can't draw straight lines.
"That's fine, Jess," you say, "Not many people can draw straight lines on their own. Most people need rulers or something like that."
Oh, dear reader, you are misunderstanding me. I CAN'T DRAW STRAIGHT LINES. Even with a ruler. I can't. I don't know why. But I can't.
I've known this for a while, as I can't do many things straight. Such as, but not limited to, cutting things out (even with one of those paper cutters; it'll always be diagonal or something), hanging up posters, sticking stickers, writing on paper (even if it has lines), walking. Yeah.
The only reason that I'm really noticing it now is because I have to draw straight lines in TWO classes! Math and Art. Art is obvious, but we're learning about lines and crap in Math, so yeah. I have to graph eight lines each night for homework, and the hardest part for me is not going through the multi-step formulas, but drawing a straight line with a ruler.
It's very infuriating.
In happier news, I'm turning 14 on Thursday! For some reason, I'm not really looking forward to my birthday this year. I've always been really excited about my birthday before, but it doesn't really seem like much to me now.
Tomorrow is going to be a crazy day for me! First thing in the morning, I'm downloading Vices & Virtues, the new P!atD album. If it is not up on iTunes by 6 am EST, I'm going to kill someone. During lunch at school, I was invited to this exclusive party thing, which will be fun. We're getting food and stuff. It's because I got an A on this Grammar Exam, which everyone did really, really bad on. (I have another party on my birthday during lunch, because I wrote a fantastic essay, which everyone else did really bad on as well.) Then, after school, I'm taking this giant National French Exam. It's an optional thing, and really difficult. Those of us in my class that got chosen are under a lot of pressure, because 9 of the top 10 students in the country last year were in our French teacher's class. I'm really nervous, but also excited.
I just want to thank Annica for being today's fill in on FiveTeenVloggers. She did an awesome job, and all five of us are eternally grateful! So, um, yeah. Annica, I'll read you tomorrow!
PS: I'm currently uploading a Thoughts From Places video on my personal channel. It's pretty awesome, or at least I think it is. I'll link it here sometime soon.

HEY! I'm driving here!
Hey there everyone,
I know that 2 of you live in the USA, but for us Canadians, eh, it's a bit of an adventure when we brave the journey south. That being said, today my mother and I took a road trip from Vancouver to Seattle, Washington (well, not really Seattle...a bit outside of it where the outlet mall is >:D )
So, since I need some driving practice, I drove half the way there and half the way back and I noticed a few quite annoying practices certain drivers have.
For instance, the speed limit will be 90 km/h so I drive around 95 (give or take) in order to be neither too much below nor too much above the limit. And that's how much one should be driving. BUT! BUT! Some people don't think that's rock and roll enough for 'em so one after the other they'll pass right by me and zoom off. And I wanna stay with traffic flow but I also wanna stay legal here! But it annoys me so much that they're all probably annoyed at how "slow" I'm going when they're the ones not driving safe D:<
Then, there are the "I'm-gonna-change-lanes-oops-but-not-really" ones. I'm talking about the cars who put on their turning signals, drift halfway into my lane in front of me, but then decide they don't wanna and go right back to the other lane. It's like YO! I'M DRIVING HERE!
Even worse are the cars who DON'T have their signals on and then they start coming into my lane - whether they stay there or not, it annoys me because, well, you're blinkers are there for a reason! What if I didn't realize you were changing lanes and therefore didn't slow down and therefore BOOMCOLLISION! REALLY!
And then there are just a few small things like when a car drifts way too far to one side of the lane or wobbles from side to side (honestly, that just scares me because I start to think someone's driving drunk or something because seriously, why would you wobble from far left in your lane to far right?) or when someone does put on their blinkers but only while they're turning/lanechanging which doesn't give me any warning and defeats the purpose of the blinkers or when someone drives too close behind me and makes me feel like I'm not going fast enough but if I drive faster they go faster and keep tailgating me...
Anyways, those are a few little driving things I get annoyed by - although really, my annoyance simply comes from fear. Whenever someone does some aforementioned annoyance, I get slightly frightened about what could/could have happened and then I get annoyed that they made me afraid...It's a strange cycle
Luckily though, I do stay calm at the wheel and don't turn into one of those crazy emotional drivers :D
Well, that's all I've got for now. I'm on a two week Spring Break right now, so tomorrow will be a ski day up at Whistler which means that I should really get some sleep. Bridget, I'll read ya tomorrow :)

Jess talks annoyances!
Hey girls, it's Monday! This week's theme is annoyances, mainly because I am kinda annoyed.
My current annoyance, which really isn't that much of a big deal but it currently feels like it is, is that I really REALLY want to download Panic! at the Disco's new album, but IT IS NOT YET AVAILABLE LEGALLY. GAHHHHH.
It's supposed to be released on March 22, which is almost a week from today. I've been waiting for this album since 2008, so yeah, I would've been fine with waiting another week. BUT THEY FREAKING PUT THE ALBUM ON THEIR FACEBOOK PAGE. So I can listen to it, but I can't DOWNLOAD IT. gahhhhhhhhhh.
I'm not sure whether or not I want to listen to it, because if I do, one of the songs will get stuck in my head, and I don't want that. I'm trying to be a good person and support the artists that I like, BUT I CAN'T DO THAT IF THEY KEEP BEING SO INFURIATING.
This is why I prefer independent artists. Mike Lombardo uploads a song on YouTube, and within an hour it's available on Bandcamp. Eddplant uploads a music video, but not until the song is available on iTunes. They know what they're doing. Mainstream artists DO NOT.
So, yeah, hopefully your annoyances aren't too annoying.
In exciting news, I'm going to be seeing the Mike Lombardo Trio and Driftless Pony Club in Philadelphia on Thursday! It's going to be at the same venue that I went to in October, and I'm super excited!
In school, we're also in the middle of standardized testing. Which, because I'm in 8th grade, is going to be three weeks long instead of the usual 3 days. rehraehodenguiugediufresnudf
But whatever. At least it's keeping me distracted from the excitement that shall ensue on Saint Patrick's Day :)
Annica, I'll read you tomorrow!

today is awesome
Hey there everyone; today's post is special for a few reasons! First, as I am typing this, my family and I are driving on the highway in Quebec.
You: But Sanja, why are you in Quebec?
Me: BECAUSE IT'S AWESOME
You: But whyyy???
Me: Well, my famjam decided to fly over to Toronto since my dad had a conference there, and so now we're driving around, checking out universities I might attend next year and random fun sights as well :)
So far, we've seen Queen's U which just happened to be situated across from Princess Street. It looked great except for the fact that it's been raining all day
And yeah, now we're in Montreal trying to find our hotel :P
The other reason why this post is cool is that I am writing it on my mom's soon-to-be-mine blackberry :D
I've had the same voring phone for like five years, so just the thought of a smart phone is super exciting!
Anyways, I have to go really soon so I'll just answer Jess's questions and be gone:
1. If you need someone, I'd be glad to make a vid for you guys. Of course, I wouldn't exactly know what to say but I would find something :P
2. I like the idea of being named something like Krristina because then I could be called kris, kristi, kristina or kristina - there're just so many awesome options!
Alright, well I'm off! Can't wait to read ya tomorrow Bridget :)

Winona has to move!
Hey ladies,
wonderful Wednesday today, isn't it?
The sun is shining and I am the happiest person on earth :)
First of all I want to answer Jess' questions. As I have already wrote on Jess' wall on Facebook (Oh, I'm so addicted. Not cool!) I'd love to be a fill-in on some day but as you know my camera quality sucks so I don't know if FiveTeenVloggers would be content about that.
And if I could have a new name I'd choose Aimee, Hayley or Victoria. :)
My days in the past weeks have all been the same. Working for my final exam presentation and meeting a couple of friends. So I don't really have a lot to talk about, as bad as I feel about that.
Well, I wanted to mention that I changed the name of my blog/url. It's now Redhead Redemption. (Ten points if you get it ;))
In May I have to move to my grandmother for a month because we won't have water due to reparations in the whole house. I don't want to live with my grandma, even though she's lovely. It's just... she doesn't like a lot about me so we'll fight most likely everday.
So, that's all for now. Have a nice week, girls.
Sanja, I'll read you tomorrow! x

Annica talks about...stuff.
Hello, ladies! It's Tuesdaaaaay.
First, I'm going to answer Jess's questions. That seems a good way to start. As for filling in for FiveTeenVloggers, I'd be willing to do that for you. But only if you need me! I'm definitely not the most interesting person, so yeah. As for the second question, if I could have any name, it'd be either Marina, Laurel, Genevieve, or Astoria. That's a lot of choices. o:
I'm participating in Lent this year. I'm not Catholic or Orthodox or even a very good Christian, but I figured that I didn't have to be to give up something for forty days. I'm giving up junk food/candy/soda. I don't know what I'll do without chocolate! But anyway, time to be healthy!~ Huzzah. :D
I've also recently decided that I'm going to take up knitting! The first thing I'm knitting is a full-size Fourth Doctor's scarf. Sixteen feet by twelve inches... It'll...be...good practice? Yeah.

Jess has a few questions...
There's no real theme this week. I just have some questions to ask, and a day to tell you about.
So, my day. In my Civics class, we're learning about Civil Law. So we had to do this project about a lawsuit. And mine ended up being about Harry and the Potters, and the source that I used was Harry, a History by Melissa Anelli. SO, so cool. I feel like I'm cheating, but I'm not.
I already knew the information that I needed to know for the project, but I needed the book anyway to bring to class. For some reason, I didn't own Melissa's book. So I went with my mom to our local Barnes & Noble bookstore.
Before we left, though, I took the time to create six nerdfighter notes. When we got to the store, we went and got Melissa's book, and then I went to the Teen Fiction section. I put nerdfighter notes in all of the copies of John Green's books that they had (Two copies of Looking for Alaska, two copies of Paper Towns, and one copy of An Abundance of Katherines). I had one note left, so I randomly picked one of the copies of Maureen Johnson's 13 Little Blue Envelopes, otherwise known as the only MJ book I have read.
I knew that I needed to fix that, so I bought a copy of The Bermudez Triangle along with Harry, a History. While I was at the store, I filmed footage so that I could make a Thoughts from Places video, which should go up on my channel sometime soon. Which is weird, because I haven't uploaded a video on my own channel since December.
Speaking of videos, (oooohh! I actually managed to create a segway!) everyone by now knows about my other collab, FiveTeenVloggers. Well, our Tuesday, Jorgina, will be unable to make videos for a while, from anywhere to two weeks to two months. We're looking for fill-ins. We already have someone filling in for her tomorrow, but I've been told to ask people who might be interested. So, if any of you girls might want to make a video for the channel, just tell me in your post this week, or contact me whenever. Same goes for readers.
That was my first question: Would you like to be a fill-in on some Tuesday on FiveTeenVloggers?
My second question has to do with my Screnzy screenplay. Last April, I did Script Frenzy for the first time. And I really enjoyed the experience. Though I know that I'll never write scripts for fun, it is a nice challenge to do once a year. It also really helped me to develop my dialogue, because that's all you really have in a script. (Also, my spell check doesn't recognize the word "dialogue." Weird.)
I already know what I'm going to write about, but I need help with character names. As it turns out, all of you are going to be in it! But I'm changing everyone's name. So, if you could have any name, what would it be?
I do believe that this is the longest post in a long time. Well, Annica, I'll read you tomorrow!

Bridget won a Pokemon tournament
So today's blog topic (thanks again Jess for constantly coming up with these) is random facts that people wouldn't know about me. So, here they are - the top ten facts that you probably maybe didn't know!
10. I've been moving since I was four. I've lived in Canada, The United States, Poland, The Netherlands, and now I'm back in a different part of Canada.
9. I have a thing about people touching my wrists. It just... freaks me out okay?
8. I make random noises is class, just to freak people out.
7. 1 sp34k flu3n7 l337 5p34k. 54d 1 k |\| 0\/\/. (that took my 6 seconds to type)
6. I occasionally DJ.
5. However, I only listen to indie music.
4. March 8th will be my one year anniversary with my boyfriend.
3. I once won a giant Pokemon card battle. Which I hosted.
2. I am an avid D&D player. I dabble in V&V but it's not the same.
1. Sometimes, I wish I had glasses. So I sometimes wear fake ones. When I'm home alone.
And there you go! Hope you enjoyed.
Jess, I'll read you on Monday. (:

And she comes in with the blog 3 minutes before midnight..
Hey there cool people
Tonight's post is gonna be short and sweet because I really need to get to sleep considering that I'm gonna be chairing a model UN conference all weekend and need to be well rested :)
I thought this theme would be really tough, but now that I'm actually thinking about it, I can find a few random facts - here goes:
1. This. When I think about it, I didn't really advertise this blog too much which means that most of my friends actually don't know it exists...which is weird when I think about it...
2. Most people assume because I get good grades that I am always working always studying while I can actually be one of the laziest people sometimes.
3. Kind of a continuation of the previous one, many people assume that I'm too goody two shoes to ever be able to swear or party or...other stuff...
4. One random fact about me that not many know just cause it doesn't come up often: the month and day of my birthday is the same as the date the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbour and my brother's birthday is the anniversary of the day the Titanic sunk
5. Another random one: I studied Latin for 2 years
And that's all I've got for right now....At the moment, I'm really upset that i can't find the new episode of skins (UK) online yet but maybe it's a good thing so that i actually sleep like I should.
Anyways, have a good weekend everyone and I'll talk to you next thursday!

Winona surprises people with stupid facts!
Hey girls,
hope you all had a great week so far. Well, I did. I haven't had much school due to ill teachers and I'm quite happy about that (even though that sound soooo wrong after reading it again. Get well soon, ill teachers!)
Last weekend was amazing! I went to see one of my favourite bands live for the first time and it was great. I had so much fun and I met my good friend Lotti again. It was a really nice night and I didn't really care that I was nearly dead from moshing a whole night!
I like this week's theme quite a lot because there are many things about me that surprise most people I tell about those things. First thing is that I love metal/screamo/punk-music. I think that if you'd see me walking down the street you wouldn't think that I'm into this kind of music. So everytime I tell my friends about a new band I listen to and I tell them that it's a metal-core band, they're like "Whu? I didn't think you listen to that kind of music!". Pretty funny sometimes :)
What also surprises a lot of people is that I am fully German! Because of my full name most people think I am from Poland or Russia or some country like that and they NEVER believe me when I tell them that I'm German!
A lot of people also think that I'm Christian and when I tell them that I actually do no believe in a God they can't believe that. I used to visit a religion class in school just for the sake of it and I think most people really thought I'm a Christian!
Well those are just some things that came to my mind quickly. I actually have to go now because I'm really busy learning for my exams!
Have a great week, ladies!
I'll read you tomorrow, Sanja.
Oh, today's awesome because we got cake in our last lesson!

Annica wants to wish Ronald Weasley a happy 31st birthday!~
Hooray for fictional birthdays!~
Hello, girls. It's Tuesday!
Today was a snow day. We actually had about three or four inches this time. It was nice to sleep in. And not have any homework.
So, surprising things about us. How about a list? This seems like a good occasion for a list.
1. I am half-Mexican. Yes, I realise that I'm pale. That does not mean that I am lying.
2. I am super lazy. But I still get straight A's. Yay!~
3. I'm Mormon. A Democrat-Mormon. Yeah...
4. I can be mean. And sarcastic. Very sarcastic.
5. I enjoy eavesdropping. People think that because I'm quiet, that I don't listen. Oh, how wrong they are. I know a lot of gossip. >;)
That's all that I can think of right now. They aren't all that surprising, but still.
