Annica sucks at video games.

Hello girls. Today is the THIRTEENTH Tuesday of NEA.

I do not know what is wrong with me this week, but I do not want to do anything at all (especially NaNoWriMo), so, alas, I am writing this from school. I should be doing a project on F. Scott Fitzgerald right now, but I don’t really feel like it. Ugh. I’m going to have to do hours with of homework on Sunday.

This week is the premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (part one)! I cannot wait. Every day this week, I’ve been wearing some of my many Harry Potter clothes. It’s a bit of overkill, yes, but I don’t care because HARRY POTTER IS COMING OUT THIS WEEK! I’m seeing it at midnight with my family. My best friend (who moved away) is coming with his family, too. I’m dressing up as Tonks, my dad is probably wearing Gryffindor robes, and my friend is dressing as Neville. I’ll post pictures next week. Needless to say, I’m super excited.

So, this week’s theme is games. Seeing as it would be rather boring for me to talk about how my family plays card games and dominoes every once in a while, I’ll talk about video games. I rather like video games (even though I’m horrendous at them), but I don’t play them as often as I would like.

When I was younger, I mostly played video games alongside my brothers, or I watched them play. They liked to play the typical games that are associated with boys, mostly. Halo, Call of Duty, Silent Hill. Pretty much games where you could smash heads in and shoot stuff. I didn’t like those games as much. Never did. Halo is all right, but I don’t like the other ones. In fact, I once remember having a nightmare about Silent Hill. I had a nightmare about BioShock, too. *isababy*

The games I liked most were usually the happier ones, like most Nintendo games. I did play Cruisin’ USA quite a bit, though. I also accompanied my brother on Halo as well. For most of my life, I think, the videos games I would play would be with my step-brother, Lukas. He still plays video games all of the time. Some days, I swear that he doesn’t leave one room.

Welp, I don’t have any funny anecdotes or anything interesting to say, so I suppose that I will compile a list of my top ten favourite video games (in no order).

1. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
2. The Sims
3. Dance Dance Revolution
4. Rock Band
5. Mabinogi
6. Super Mario Galaxy
7. Animal Crossing
8. Super Smash Brothers
9. Wii Fit
10. Grand Theft Auto

On a side note, F. Scott Fitzgerald (the author who I am supposed to be doing a project on) had a wife called Zelda. Oh ho ho.

Well, Winona, I will read you tomorrow.

Keep each other safe, keep faith, goodnight.

Jess can't seem to write this post...

...And that means that I probably won't be able to include the theme, but all of you should.

So I'm really far behind for NaNoWriMo right now; I'm currently at about 11k when I should be at 25k. This is a bad thing.

Also, words = not easy to form right now. Don't know why.

Fail Monday post. Can't make words. This does not compute. Please standby for my system reboot.

Intentional ALL CAPS references ftw?

K. Sorry for weirdness. Annica, I be reading you tomorrow, yes?

Lastly, me will post something sometime this week telling about next week's theme, because it may take some time to prepare for it. Kthnxbi.

Bridget was stupid and forgot to hit the "publish post" button.

SO I thought this was published until I go check it out today and notice that - Low and behold! I forgot to click the Publish Post button. I'm such a dingleberry.

I'm drastically behind on NaNoWriMo so I'm pulling an all night tonight and all through tomorrow to catch up. Honestly, I'm finding it harder to write than I thought I would because every time I do, I feel immensely sad and miss my dog. However, I have to push through it: for Roxy.

In other news, I finally did it: I went a got some mouseinsneakers.com t-shirts made! Picture here: http://dailybooth.com/mouseinsneakers/10179488
They cost me a pretty penny but I really love 'em. Obviously I'm not selling any (who would buy them hahaha) but I do think they'll be great publicity. ((:

In other news, I'm ending this blog post quickly because I NEED TO GO AND WRITE.
Do you guys mind if I pick the theme for next week? If you don't see this, it doesn't matter, just thought I would give Jess a break, haha.

The THEME IS: Games. Video games, board games, recess games, online games, whatever type of games you want. GAMES GAMES GAMES hfaskfdfadg.

ALRIGHT - Have a great rest of the weekend, and Jess - I'll read you on Monday.
(P.S SORRY AGAIN about the rushed post)

Lest we forget...the awesome times of last night!!

[Insert Greeting here]

I wasn't sure if Winona was going to post so I waited for nighttime just in case...but I guess she's just having too much fun :)


So today is a very bitter-sweet day for me because on the one hand, it's remembrance day. Today we are all supposed to wear poppies to remember and honor those who fought in the Great War so that we can live with all our freedoms today. Really, it's a very sad occasion because we are remembering everyone who lost his life to war and that's a WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE! Maybe one day, we'll decide that war is unnecessary and simply stop with the hatred but for now, we must go on paying tribute not only to those of the past but also the soldiers of the present.

ON THE OTHER HAND! Last night was my semi-formal which is kind of like a cross between homecoming and prom...i don't even know how to describe it, but it was a dinner/dance at the Pan Pacific hotel with a view of the ocean, really super yummy food, and an awesome dj! It was one of the most fun nights of my life! Seriously, first there was the dressing up, the makeup, the hair, the nails, the shoes, and thus so much PAMPERING!! Plus all of my friends from school whom I love! Plus (again) the amazing dance music!! And OMG EVERYONE WAS SO GOODLOOKING! Seriously! I couldn't believe how gorgeous we all looked! Not to brag or anything, but Grad 2011 cleans up GOOOOOOODDD!! XD

So yeah, I got home pretty late last night and pretty much just wasted today - well, not wasted really, i slept, did hw, watched the Big Bang Theory, and ate food...it wasn't exactly productive :P
I've also been fb stalking everyone I know to see all of the pictures from last night! 'Cause, I mean, after a moment's gone, pictures are all that's left! They help with the memories and can make any moment last forever <3 (Now doesn't that sound like a Kodak ad :P )

But anyways, that's it for me for now because I am still super duper exhausted and my eyes keep drooping. I'm sad that Winona missed this week, but I still enjoyed all your posts. And I'm SO GLAD it's Bridgetday tomorrow! I really need the weekend! :P

Oh, and btw. I practically hyperventilated when Darren Criss sang Teenage Dream on Glee...just saying, it was the most fangirl moment in the history of fangirlism!

Bye for now!!

Hello girls, it's the twelfth Tuesday of NEA.

Are you ready for the my-life-sucks-it's-november-wah-i'm-tired posts to begin?

Currently, I am procrastinating on my novel and my reading (no homework today! hallelujah!). I'm a lazy cow, and I don't want to do anything. I'm starting to get a feel for what the rest of this month is going to be like.

I haven't done any Algebra homework for a week. I hate to admit it, but I've been lying about it, too. The teacher doesn't check our work, so I've just been telling her that I did it all. I'm going to have a heck of a time doing all of these assignments before turning in my notebook. Quite frankly, I haven't been doing much homework at all. It is amazing how I am still doing well in all of my classes.

As for reading, I have about a week to finish two and a half Harry Potter books. That's going to be a blast as well. I have just recently finished the Hunger Games. It's really good. I can't wait until I can read Catching Fire. I've forgotten what it's like to read a really good book for the first time.

My novel is going all right, I suppose. Well, for being my first novel and for being written in one month, I guess it's going great. My main character isn't that great. I need to make my characters more lovable and things. My plot is going okay. For the past few days, I haven't gotten far in terms of plot development, but I know where it's going. I quite like NaNoWriMo, even if I am exhausted all of the time. My dad said it was from too much thinking (lolz).

In other news...

OMGOMGOMGOMG DARREN CRISS IS GOING TO BE ON GLEE TONIGHT! I CANNOT WAIT THIS IS AMAZING OMG.

Welp, I'm going to go work on my novel now. I apologize for the negative (and short!) post. It's November. Next week will be better, probably. The week after that will probably be super happy (lol deathly hallows). o:

Winona, I might read you tomorrow if you aren't having too much fun in London. :3

Quel jour est-ce?

...Aujourd'hui, c'est lundi.

LOLSORRYSTUDYINGFORFRENCH

Anyways. Hey girls, it's Monday!

Today has been a surprisingly good day...

Even though I've had the worst headache all day, Balloon Fest part 1 was postponed AGAIN, and I eventually became so sick that I had to miss my religion class tonight.

But, those are some of the same reasons that today was so great. I got to yell at annoying people who talk too much to be quiet because I had a headache. Because we have even more of this gigantic, strange balloon project to do, I got to listen to my friend Chris complain as he was drawing a Where's Waldo balloon ("God, who drew the original design? He looks like a banana!" "Why do his hands look like claws?!" "He should have a monocle! It would suit him better!" xD). And I got to miss my religion class tonight.

My mom says that the reason I'm getting sick is because of NaNoWriMo stress. So she doesn't want me to work on my novel tonight. I'm not going to listen to her, because I can't just give up a perfectly good writing night. But I am going to write significantly less than I had originally planned to (3200 words, but now only 1667).

However, she also says that it might have been because of the Daylight Savings time change. Apparently I always get sick whenever the time changes. I don't ever remember this happening.

Oh, yeah. A theme. I should come up with one... Um... This week's theme is... Talk about whatever you want week! It's a theme for lazy collabs. Yes.

I probably wanted to say more than this, but I have about 15 minutes left to do homework and write my novel, so I gotta go.

Annica, I'll read you tomorrow!

PHAMOUS PEOPLE AT BRIDGET'S SCHOOL?

Okay, so ironically today's theme is Undiscovered YouTubers! You may be thinking: "Bridget, why is this ironic?" Well (insert name here), this is ironic because I just recently found this lovely lady:






Awesome singer right? UH, she goes to my school! I'm friends with her sister! I literally just stumbled across her on Youtube and was like: HOMG IT'S AMBER!
ALSO, this girl who is a Nerdfighter that I randomly met on Twitter. She's hilarious and we now are internet biffles. ((:





Oh, and I guess I'll mention myself. But I don't need to post a video. ((: You can find me here

SO YEAH. Enjoy! I really enjoy all of yooours~ However, I don't think I need to comment about all of your posts, other than I SUBSCRIBED TO THEM ALLLL~ <3

Have a great weekend and Jess, I'll read you tomorrow!
