Only 2 weeks left...

There are 13 days and 1 hour and 20 minutes until January 10th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know, I can't wait either!

Wait, what? You don't know what happens on the 10th?

I am disgusted at you, Decepticon.

Obviously, John Green's new book, The Fault in Our Stars, comes out!

And it's coming here!

To my house!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED!!!!!!!!!

Okay, enough with the rant-y-ness.

Or not.

So, recently, I came to the conclusion that Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, deviantArt, and other social networking sites similar to those are a complete waste of time. Yet we still use them. Why?

Because we like to waste time. Why?

It's fun. Why?

Either people have no lives and therefore have the time to use social networking sites, or they believe they have no lives and therefore use social networking sites.

However, there is a third but slightly less known group of people who actually have the ability to control how much time they can spend on a particular social networking site. They have attained the ability to refrain from checking every notification and reloading the page.

I wish I belonged to the slightly less known group of people.

However, I belong to the second group of people. Sadly.

In fact, I have probably reloaded my Tumblr dashboard at least five times while I was writing this post.

Addicted much?

Tumblr
Twitter
deviantArt
If you don't already know me personally, then you don't get my facebook.

Adios, fellow Nerdfighters and Decepticons! DFTBAaG!

Another Blog Post

In which I talk about novel progress, my day, Christmas (ahem, Winter) break, and what I'm doing today.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh I am the stupidest stupid face in the whole freaking stupid world of stupid people. 

I left the notebook that had all of my untyped novel in my locker. At school. Which I cannot go to until January 9th. Of next year. 

*headdesk*

But anyways, I got to school early, and I passed out the candy canes and chocolate I brought. In class, everybody got a Hershey bar and a few papers with questions concerning the chocolate bar. After about 20 minutes of working on that, my teacher, Mrs. Bettis, asked me and Aimee if we would mind setting up a few tables to hold the muffins, Yoo Hoos, and other assorted chocolatey things. Being the idiots we are, we said yes and she continued to tell us what to do. We were to take the tablecloths, muffins, chocolate milk, and paper goods down to the cafeteria and make the teachers' lunchroom look pretty. We stayed at the talent show to watch Cat and Amyan sing, then we left. Once we got down there and the tablecloths were on, we both realized how inept we were at making things look good. I proceeded to put napkins on the table in a totally groovy design that Aimee laughed at, despite the fact that I am the one with more experience. Then we put muffins, cupcakes, and plates on the tables. After that, we went to the theater to watch more of the talent show. With our luck, we got there at the last act. Prizes were awarded, then everybody left the theatre. We went to the cafeteria (whoa. mind blankage, forgot what it was called)and got in line. Three people ate the muffins I made, which means more for me. I ate and drank and ran upstairs to get my backpack and ran back downstairs after dismissal to get my muffins. Then I got on the bus and went home. And that was my day, compressed into one paragraph.

I am finally on Winter break. People are right to call it Winter break, because there are a lot of people in this world that don't celebrate Christmas. I do, so don't get all offended because you're a super touchy person that always has to speak their mind. And there are 5 sleeps to Christmas. I haven't even gone shopping. 

Which brings us to the next topic: what I will be doing today. Most likely, Christmas shopping, more computer usage, and probably some tv watchage.

I love making up new words; it's so much fun.

I think that's all for today, kids! See you next time on The Adventures of Decepticon and Nerdfighter: Untied!

*United, sorry.

Barshdads are REAL!

The barshdad is a dangerous creature that has been sighted by many scientists. It is capable of changing color in order to blend in with their environments.

Barshdads are incredibly dangerous creatures that will attack if given the chance, as they are cannibalistic. Many scientists have tried to learn more about this creature, and most fail, with the exception of a handful of lucky scientists who manage to escape.

The head is generally large and often has two or three long feathers standing on end. The barshdad has a long neck, similar to a flamingo, and a body to match. There were, according to notes, three tail feathers that go in different directions. Lastly, the barshdad has four long, spindly legs with rings that encircle the leg all the way down the leg.

Alexander Scott compared the creature to "a character from a children's show. The legs remind me most of Big Bird." His notes were found when a group of tourists and their tour guide stumbled across his half-devoured body in the middle of the Rocky Mountains. Most of the group remains in therapy, including a young girl named Amy Pond, who is the daughter of musical sensation, Kourtney Skittle.

Because the barshdad can change the hue of its feathers, this is a very dangerous creature and should be avoided at all costs. If you see a sudden change of color in the sky or flashes of color where there should not be color, get out of that area immediately, as it could mean that a barshdad is in the vicinity. Leave the area immediately.

To prepare your house against barshdads, leave a supply of zucchini and aloe in every room, as the molecules will take some of the hue from the feathers, and the barshdad will be visible. Always have a bag packed, because you never know when or where a barshdad will attack next.

Remember this: it could happen to anyone, at any time, in any location. Always be wary. They are everywhere.

I'm writing another novel, but this time I'm going to be taking it slow. No more 1667 words a day, I'll just be writing as I think of something new. So yeah.

And now, as I look at the Walmart website for a Dirty Elephant gift, I wish that I hadn't procrastinated.

I have to go now, see you.

Well, crap.

I had written a 507-word sentence earlier, and I had copied it in order to paste it to another thing, but then I completely forgot I had done that, so I copied another thing, and I'm just really annoyed at myself right now.

Anyways, on Friday, I went on a field trip to the Volkswagen plant that gave about 2000+ jobs to about 2000+ people and robots, and it was really cool, and I learned how they make their cars, and I made a blog post on my other blog, and it explains the process in great detail. I mean, we didn't have to sign any waivers or anything telling us to keep this stuff secret, so it must be alright, right?

But we went to the plant and we toured, and the tour guide's name was Kurt. Yes. Kurt. As in Kurt Hummel.

Okay, maybe not, but it was still awesome. But after that, we went to the mall to eat and then once we were back at school, we kinda just sat around for a few minutes. Then somebody suggested that we go to the computer lab upstairs, so I just kinda hung out on Think Geek for twenty minutes.

Then I had Spanish and drama club in which I did a skit where I was a whiny little kid waiting to sit on Santa's lap. It was fun.

So anyways. Here's the link to my other blog post. Sorry it hasn't been updated too much, I sorta forgot about it.

Hey you! Yeah, you. I'm talking to you. Click here or your lady friend gets it.

NaNoWriMo!

So, I don't know how I found time to write this blog post (I'm not procrastinating! NEVAR!) but I did, and I'm almost halfway there. I have 1704 more words until I get to 25,000, and by today I was supposed to have 40,000 words, so I'm doing GREAT! I'm only 16704 words off!

*headdesk*

Why do I procrastinate so much?

Anyway, I think I know what I'm getting most of my family for Christmas. Or at least what I want to get them.

OH MY GOSH I CANNOT BELIEVE I FORGOT ABOUT THANKSGIVING. AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH.

Yeah. So today's Thanksgiving, and my two older brothers came home. My oldest and younger are in the family room playing a basketball game on the wii. My second oldest is gone somewhere, probably with Lindsey. We had ham, turkey, cranberry sauce, dressing, sweet potato casserole, and three pies. For six people. Can we say overkill?

I mean, food is good and everything, but I would be fine with sweet potato casserole, ham and one pie. Thanksgiving is supposed to be about being thankful to whatever you want to be thankful for. You can be thankful the God made you, or you could be thankful for Mother Earth. Whatever you believe in is what you're thankful for.

What I'm saying is that Thanksgiving is centered on food or football a lot of the time. I'm not saying that you shouldn't enjoy that stuff, just don't lose sight of the bigger picture like a lot of people do.

With that said, I guess I should go write. Here's a word count widget.

halloween

This is Halloween!

Halloween is a time to have fun, dress up, and do one thing that you'd never ever do any other day of the year- take candy from strangers. :D

Well, since apparently nobody wants to take me trick-or-treating for the first time evar, I guess I'll just have to go to the Reformation Day party. I don't wanna sound mean, but that sounds a bit boring.

By the way, I've never been trick or treating. Forreal. So yeah.

I'm kinda sad now. My friend won't answer me, and my other friend isn't on facebook. So yeah.

Today's been kinda blah.

EDIT: I was right, the Reformation Day party wasn't even really a party. There was food and games and all, but that doesn't make a party a party. And I didn't get any candy. Well, besides the bit of candy corn and 4 caramel squares, I got nothing. So this has been a craptastic day.

halloween

im going goth for halloween......nuff said....

AACK!

2 DAYS UNTIL NANOWRIMO!

In case you don't know what NaNoWriMo is, it stands for National Novel Writing Month. Basically, it's when a bunch of crazy people attempt to write a 50,000 word novel in a month. So don't expect too many blog posts from me in November.

If you're interested in NaNo, go here: http://www.nanowrimo.org/

Also, I went to see The Avett Brothers last night!!!!!!!! There was a drunk lady dressed as a taco, for Halloween, I guess. But anyway, Taco was dancing. And her boyfriend was drunk too, and they were being all crazy and hugging and jumping up and down and everything.

Love, hugs, and fezzes-

Rant-y-ness

I LIVE IN FORT OGLETHORPE!! Ok, not really. Just random Skype 3-way calling.
Hi, Kaila, Mykel, Aimee, Rachel, Malorie, Julianna, and whoever else might be reading this. Sorry if I forgot you.

Everybody needs to go here. This is vital to understanding the title of this blog.

But anyways, I got a book sorta recently. It's About Time.

What a crazy random happenstance!

Hey, can I stay here for a few days, maybe a few weeks? I got kicked out of my friend's house, and I need to call my mum, but my phone's dead. Can I use yours?

I did a...thing.
