actual proof supporting the theory that i was completely insane at age 13

Hey guys!

Okay, so basically, I was going through my closet because yay organization and I came across...

My old school notebook.

I know I know, borrrrrring. But this notebook is my English notebook. And it is filled with..."journal" entries. xD Every day (aka twice a week) as soon as we walked into class, my English teacher would have a prompt written up on the board, and we had to write about it. I had them all written down.

And...

Oh my word.

I needed help. xD

I WAS THIRTEEN.  EVERYONE WAS MESSED UP AND ANNOYING AND STUPID AT THIRTEEN. ...Right? Well, Abdul is twelve, so I can't tell if this is even just a family thing or what. Granted, he can be pretty stupid now...He gave my youngest brother a fat lip by accident five minutes before we left for school, and since my mom couldn't give him anything to keep the swelling down, she told him (my youngest brother, I mean) to use any of the following stories to explain how it happened. A. He was trying to get some honey for our pancakes (that never existed) and tried to climb a tree to get to a beehive, and while he was climbing the tree, a bee stung his lip. B. He fought Chuck Norris. C. A unicorn descended from heaven and poked his lip with his horn.

I'm not making this up. Welcome to my family, everyone.

I am so off topic.

So, yes! I looked at these and decided how weird I was. In my defense, it was about 8 in the morning, and back then, I almost never slept. Granted, I don't sleep a ton now, but whereas I usually stay up late only on days I don't have school, back then I was running on 4-5 hours of sleep quite often. xD Anywho, enjoy.

Prompt: Write a greeting card for a fake holiday.

My answer: My holiday would be Gas Pump Appreciation day. (IN MY DEFENSE, I COULDN'T THINK OF ANYTHING, SO I USED HER PROMPT BOOK THING.) The front of the card would have a red and blue gas pump and say "Gas pumps are red, or maybe they're blue..." and the inside would say "It's Gas Pump Appreciation Day, and I appreciate you!"

....

Well, obviously, I shouldn't write greeting cards. Or come up with holidays.

Prompt: You and your friends have just been caught breaking into the local gas station. (obviously, I did not believe in appreciating gas pumps.) After your parents pay your bail, you must explain why you did it, since this is not something you usually do. What your parents and others don't realize is that you did it for a heroic reason. What do you tell your parents?

Wait...people don't break into places on a normal basis? What kind of life do you guys live?
My Answer: Mom, Dad, I broke into the gas station in order to steal money. But not for pleasure, for necessity. You see, my friend Riah's parents  are dying of a rare kidney disease. They don't have the money to pay for the cure, and no one could help them. I figured if I stole some cash, I could help save their lives.

*sniffs* Look at that act of heroism, guys. And I only got an 85. Apparently my teacher did not appreciate my selflessness. 


Prompt: At exactly midnight on New Years Eve, you receive an email labeled "Open 'imidiatly' (That's how I spelled it on this thing. *sigh*)." The really strange thing is that the email is apparently from your future self. What does it say?

My Answer (and I swear, I'm not making this up. My family didn't even believe me, I had to show them the notebook xD): 
The email says "Wake up. You're in a coma. This isn't real." I read the email slowly, then suddenly feel myself slipping away and black out. I wake up in a hospital bed, where a man tells me I slipped into a coma when I was punched in the head by a drunk guy in Times Square....twenty years ago! I've been in a coma for two decades, I end up in jail because I haven't been able to pay the hospital bills, and am finally released only to be hit by North Korea's nuclear bomb.


....

Um....

Well, originally instead of being blown up, I was hit by a bus. Does that make it any better?

I genuinely pitied my English teacher. A few months later, she gave us an assignment where she put a photo of two kids, a boy and a girl, surrounded by other kids. The boy had a delighted look on his face, while the girl looked terrified. She wanted us to write a story based off the photo.

I wrote about Bobby, who loved penguins way too much, and Suzy, who was deathly afraid of them. One day, their class went on a field trip to the zoo, and Bobby ran to the penguin enclosure and let them out. Suzy started going into shock and hyperventilating and eventually fell over to be stepped on by 15 penguins, as the other kids screamed while Bobby looked happier than ever. The story ended by talking about how Suzy needed 15 years of therapy and then ended up accidentally falling into the lion pit while trying to run from the penguins one day when her therapist took her to the zoo, and how Bobby was suspended from school and eventually became a zookeeper only to be eaten by penguins.
IT LOOKS CUTE NOW, BUT IT WILL KILL YOU.

I know I keep saying this, but I swear, this is all true.

My English teacher either loved me or was terrified by me. And I didn't even talk about that time she showed that old black and white photo of some guy returning from the army kissing a girl in the street (AKA, the one to the right), and I wrote an essay about how the girl left him immediately and he contemplated jumping off a bridge, only to be convinced by an old man that there was still hope. Of course, he ended up living a miserable life anyway after he and the girl got back together then divorced.

...I don't...I....

I needed help.

Needless to say, she abolished this assignment. Although I think I got a 95 on those two papers because "The writing was excellent, but the story...." I really need to find those, I'm sure they're saved somewhere. Revisit my sick, twisted thirteen year old mind. Something I've always wanted to do.

NOTE THAT THIS IS ONLY ENGLISH CLASS. AND ONLY ABOUT A MONTH OF IT. o.o I do not even want to think about the other months...or other classes...

If you knew me when, I am so, so sorry.

So, um...I hope you enjoyed?
May you live a life slightly more normal than my brain,
Audrey

10 things I regret doing

Hey guys!
So, since I'm probably still doing school and have nothing interesting to post about (I write a lot of my posts in advance, then post them when I haven't posted in a while) I decided to do a prompt I found somewhere. It is obviously called "make a list of 10 things you regret doing". Which should be interesting to hear about xD By the end of this, you'll know some very random things about me. :P  Enjoy my weirdness! Also, these are in no particular order.

Biting my Brother.
So, when I was like, six, I was trying to practice piano and Abdul (my younger bro, for those of you who don't know) kept on bugging me. Granted, he was three at the time, but whatever. And I was a naive six year old who wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer (Can we just acknowledge how I always seem to pick the most violent thing to compare myself to O.o), so I bit him. On the hand. I was six, it's not like it hurt much! But he was three. And ended up screaming his head off. Why do I regret this? Because my punishment was NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE MY OWN BIRTHDAY CAKE. It was an ice cream cake. Which is my favorite.

Why do I even still remember this?

MY FAMILY STILL BRINGS IT UP.

AND TALKS ABOUT HOW DELICIOUS IT WAS.

And, I actually wanted to get some a few years back, and I found out they discontinued it.

Thank you, Culvers. -_-

Jumping on the Bed
Another childhood thing. When I was around 7, Abdul and I were jumping on the bed, and my youngest brother, who was probably around 1 or 2, fell off onto the hardwood floor and got a concussion. I got in SO much trouble, which, for a seven year old, was staying in my room all day and going without dinner. Which, now that I think about it, is me now, except I usually do eat something...in my room. I still regret it. I think I knocked out half of my youngest brother's brain cells. *hides from her parents who are probably reading this.*

Cutting My Hair
When I was 10 or 11, I really wanted my ears pierced, and my dad said he would only do it if I cut my hair to just below my chin. Stupid me did it. Worst. haircut. ever. I swear, if one of my family members finds this thing and resurrects one of those pictures....let's just say I'll emancipate myself.

Not Saving My Journals
Well, journals/stories. I used to write a lot when I was a kid (Well, I still do) and I really wish I hadn't either lost a lot of them or thrown them out. It'd be funny to read now. xD


Getting a Refurbished Ipod
(And yes, the ipod in question is to the left, although it is a stolen picture. And by stolen, I mean I snuck into the gigantic pictures of ipod warehouse at midnight dressed in black and climbed through a window then ran back out to the sound of barking dogs and people yelling, "Hey you! Stop!" Although, points to you if you got that reference.) I was in fourth grade, had just gotten my birthday money, and spent it on an ipod. And couldn't afford a new one. Let me tell you, that thing (which I actually still have and use now. Shuddup.) has annoyed the heck out of me over the years. Although it wasn't as annoying as my taste of music five years ago.

Not Getting Two Door Cinema Club Tickets
I'm still not over it. And what's even worse is that my cousin went and saw them a few weeks later. THANKS A LOT. 

Putting My Hand on the Stove
I obviously wasn't the brightest child. Then again, I did just put my hand on my lamp and my finger nearly burned off. It still hurts to type. THIS IS THE PAIN I GO THROUGH TO BLOG. APPRECIATE IT.

Hiding Things
And by this, I mean emotions and stuff. I mean, I still do that now, but way back when, I never said ANYTHING about how I really felt, and I really wish I did now that I look back. 

Caring What People Thought
Yet again, I still do this now. But when I was younger, I was the WORST. One time, in like, fifth grade, some kid told me my name was stupid, and I went and cried for an hour. Not even kidding xD Luckily, I'm much better with this. 

I'm lying. If insulted, I go and cry for hours. 

(JK)

Quitting Piano
Well, in eighth grade, I decided I was sick of piano and quit.Then, I went back and got a new teacher in ninth grade. But catching up? Ugh. ABDUL AND I DO THE SAME STUFF NOW. AND HE'S THREE YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME. Talk about humbling. xD

And, that is all! Well, actually, these were the only things I could think of off the top of my head. Hopefully you enjoyed! Also, if you have anything you want me to speak about or something, tell me in the comments, because, as always, I am low on ideas.
Bye!

I am an extremely boring person who does not know how to make macaroni.

Hey guys!

So, I've been trying to write blog posts in advance lately. I did that for my AIO blog (when I still actually posted on it :P) and it worked out okay. Now, I just need an idea. That involves something that is actually interesting, and you guys would care about.

And, with that sentence, all of my previous ideas go out the window.

Sam just told me I should do it on how to make macaroni. HA HA, sis. I am awful in the kitchen, as a few of you might know, and last time I tried to make macaroni, I ran out of milk, went to the outside refrigerator to get some, setting off the house alarm, then when I got back inside, the water had boiled over, and then I dropped the milk. -_-

She thinks it's hilarious. And now she says she IS hilarious, I just choose not to see it. xD

I'm actually quite hungry right now. Maybe I should go make some macaroni.

I will make her watch this GIF in revenge. -_-

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
This thing is giving me a headache >_>

Anywho. I found a blog tag I have decided to do :D Since nothing else has come to mind besides one of those "Currently" posts, and since nothing much has been going on, it might be like:

Currently Listening To:
Music.
Currently Reading:
School books.
Currently Doing:
Homework.

I know, I know, fascinating, but we have to save the exciting posts for later.

Alright, onto the tag! It's supposed to be called 84 questions, but I eliminated a bunch, because some of them were like "How often do you drink water?" As if people care. Haha.
Now, bring it on. B-I

Put your music player of choice on shuffle and list the first 10 songs. 
Hourglass by Zedd.
Tiptoe by Imagine Dragons
All the Way by Capital Kings
Part II by Paramore
Alive by Zedd and Empire of the Sun
Candlelight by Relient K
Come Back Home by Two Door Cinema Club
Always Where I Need to Be by the Kooks
Thirst by City and Colour
Barton Hallow by the Civil Wars

If you could spend a week anywhere in the world, where would it be and why? Would you take anyone with you?
I honestly don't know. I just want to go anywhere but here xD Honestly, probably rent a big van, drive around the country picking up some of my friends, and then we all would move to Canada.

Don't ask.

Do you have connections to any celebrities (even minor)? List them.
Well, I know me, and I am so fabulous that I SHOULD be a celebrity xD

And, that was the most egotistical thing I have ever said.

Name 3 items you could pick up from where you are.
My Ipod, considering I was just shuffling through the songs, The Yearling, a book I have to read in English class, and my TARDIS necklace my friend got me yesterday. *pokes all the people who are annoyed by DW awake*

A musical artist you love that isn’t well known
Hmmmm....I don't know if Matthew Parker would count xD But I'm going to say him anyway. 

Last person you talked to, and through what you talked to them
Sam, who told me that I should talk about how amazing I am at cooking *rolls eyes*

What kind of headphones do you use?
I think these, aka Sony ZX Series Black Stereo Headphone in red.  Although whenever I am going somewhere and want to listen to music, I usually just bring my SkullCandy earbuds. 

What musical artists have you seen perform live?
My dad loves this pianist named George Winston, so I've seen him a few times. Paul McCartney. Imagine Dragons, and the Neighbourhood, who opened for them. I wanted to go see Paramore, but I missed it. -_- And Two Door Cinema Club, but I'm not going to talk about that because THEY ALMOST NEVER TOUR AND THEY EVEN CAME TO AMERICA (they're a British band) AND THE TICKETS WERE AFFORDABLE BUT IT WAS ON A FREAKING SCHOOL NIGHT.

I'm still upset, okay?!

Although, hopefully, I will go see some more bands soon :D I might go see Bastille possibly (not sure yet), because I FINALLY listened to their album, and omygosh. O.O Yes. Also, their concert is on a Wednesday night, which is a day where I have school, but the next day I'm off! :D

What gaming consoles do you or your family own?
We have a Wii.

That's all.

Haha, my brother and I have been begging for an Xbox 360 for quite a while now, because we have to go to the library to play video games (yeah, I know. Shush.).

Inspiration behind your URL?
It was the first thing I thought of and I was too lazy to do anything else.

Name at least one book you loved as a child.
I read Matilda about 15 times when I was 7. Haha. 

Is there anything hanging on the walls of the room you are currently in?
O.O you have no idea...I have, like, no wall space whatsoever. I keep finding stuff I want to put up, but then I realize I can't.

Earliest moment in your life you can remember?
When I was little, my dad and I would go on a walk after it stopped raining, and he used to tell me to stand under a tree. Then he would shake it so I would be doused with the water that had stayed on the leaves. -_- Come to think of it, he did this till I was about 13. O.o

If you were suddenly really hungry, what would you choose to eat?
I AM really hungry. If I had to choose, I would probably say food.

What fandoms would you consider yourself a part of?
This would take all day.

How would you describe your sense of humour?
It's like, 3/4 sarcastic, and then 1/4 stupid. And somewhere in there is the "I Laugh When Someone Gets Hurt" humour. 

What things annoy you more than anything else?
Questions like this.

What do you carry your money in?
First I would need money.

Longest drive you have ever been on?
When I went to Kentucky, AKA, 18 hours >_>

Furthest away from home you have ever been?
I'm homeschooled. I don't even go outside.

How many times have you moved house?
I move the house, like, everyday. I even hoisted it over my shoulders once. 

What is on the floor of the room you’re currently in, not including furniture?
Carpet. 

Is there is anything that is guaranteed to always make you happy?
My friends ^_^

What websites do you currently have open?
The ToO, Gmail, Blogger, Rdio, Soundcloud, and a mibpaste. 

Last healthy thing you ate?
Um....I ate potato chips. They had potato in them. HEALTHINESS. 

If you had to move your birthday to another date, which one would you choose and why?
April Fools Day. That way I could pull even worse pranks on people, and when they go to yell at me, I can just say it's my birthday, so you had to be nice to me. 0=)

Roughly how many people live in your town?
Honestly, no clue. I tried to look it up, but the most recent stat was from 2005. =P

Do you know anyone with the same birthday as you?
Okay, so you know those penpals you could sign up for in ClubHouse magazine a few years back? (and now, but I digress.) When I was around 8 or so, I signed up for one, and we had the same birthday.

I never wrote her, and she never wrote to me. I only knew the birthday thing because it said so on the card I got back from the magazine.

Besides that, my aunt's birthday and mine are the same. :D

Do you have a smartphone? What kind? If you don’t, do you want one?
I had an iPhone 4S, but not anymore.

How do you spell grey/gray?
Grey.

What time is it currently?
1:23....am. ;) Jk. 

Is there anything you should be doing right now?
Probably eating, considering the only thing I've eaten in the past 36 hours was some beef stew. =P

There ya go! Hope you guys enjoyed reading my randomness, haha. Also, give me some ideas on what to talk about, otherwise you are going to end up with me describing what I had for lunch or something. The more ideas I have, the more I will post!
Hasta la Vista!

This post is totally not the result of a new year's resolution

I.
AM.
ALIVE.

Okay, most of you reading this know that anyway.

But I am actually blogging! Whaaaaaaaaat? (James what. Bonus points if you got that reference.)

It's been SO long O.O I keep wanting to blog, I even had a short blog post written up in early November, but I never posted it. Plus, I got put on restriction and blocked from posting, so :P

What I have decided to do, since it has been forever, and since I did write up that short bit, is basically walk you through my months. Hopefully you enjoy. LET IT BEGIN! Warning: Super long post ahead! I have three months to cover!

So wait, when was the last time I posted anyway? October? Then I guess I'd better post this:

October: 

Hm, what happened in October? Oh, I know.

MY BIRTHDAY!

*crickets*

Darn, it looks like my brother's cricket collection escaped. (Yeah, yeah, my jokes are a little rusty. Shut up.)

I had an awesome birthday, thanks for asking. :D I don't know if I discussed this, but my main birthday present was getting to go to an Imagine Dragons concert. :D :D :D They're one of my favorite bands. I went with one of my friends, and it was AWESOME. They are amazing live. Easily one of the best birthday presents ever.

What else did I get for my birthday?

Well, I had finished all of the Doctor Who episodes on Netflix earlier that month, and I was dying for season 7. So my friend and I decided that I would ask for it for Christmas then we would have a Doctor Who marathon. (She was, AND STILL IS, on Season 5, I believe.)

And wouldn't you know it, it was all a clever ruse so they could jump out and say surprise on Halloween when I went over to a friend's house for trick or treating. (I'M NOT TOO OLD, SHUDDUP. Okay, now I am, but at the time I wasn't.)

And what did they give me for my birthday?

SEASON SEVEN ON DVD WITH BONUS FEATURES TOTALING 720 MINUTES.
Along with some Adipose cupcakes. (They're from Doctor Who.)

Look at them. They are adorable. (Sorry for the terrible photos.)

And, thus concludes October. :D

NO WAIT.

So.

A certain book came out.

That broke my heart into pieces and I'm not going to talk about it because first off the book in my opinion wasn't even that great. Awful ending aside, it just wasn't very good. *sigh* But I still stayed up till midnight waiting for it to be delivered to my Kindle anyway.

And my grandmother got me AN AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF IT OMYGOSH :O She works in a school where tons of authors visit, and if there's anyone I like, she often gets me an autographed copy :D Plus, this specific murderer-I-mean-author lives in Chicago, and my grandma lives right around there. But let me tell you. The fans were wondering why there was a wave on the cover on this book. IT STANDS FOR THE FANDOM'S TEARS.

November: 

(This was technically in October, but whatever.)

Here is the short bit I wrote that I'm just going to put here because it's kind of relevant here.

Hey guys!
*looks back on the last post that said she would update in a few days*
Ha.

Why am I updating now?
BECAUSE IT'S FOUR AM!
I AM COMPLETELY INSANE AT FOUR AM!

And I can't sleep.

For example.

a few minutes ago, this happened.

*aunt walks in*
Me: Hi Aunt Kim!
Aunt: ....Audrey?
Me: yes?
Aunt: why are you eating cheese and crackers in our kitchen at four o clock in the morning?
Me: ....why not?
Aunt: I don't understand you sometimes. *walks off*

The life and times of an insomniac.

What?

I also have all the lights in the house turned on....why? Because I was stupid enough to watch three Stephen Moffat episodes of doctor who in a row. From midnight to three am.

I'm an idiot.

But now with all the light sources....I have two shadows....I am going to die :o

Okay. Anyway. I told you I was insane. Am insane. Or am I? A crazy person doesn't know they're crazy. I know I am crazy. Therefore I am not crazy. Or am I?

>.>

ANYWAY.

In case you noticed earlier, I mentioned my aunt had found me. Good thing she did instead of my mother, who would have killed me. Like she would have killed me if I lost her bird. My aunt let it out of its cage to hop around a bit because its wings are clipped, and told me to watch it.

I didn't.

And its wings haven't been clipped in a while...so it can kind of fly....

So guess who had to search the whole house looking for a parakeet that she despises because A. Her mother loves that thing more than her own children and b. it always chirps every single time she tries to practice piano? ( SIDE NOTE. I STILL HATE THIS BIRD SO FREAKING MUCH. IT HAS EVEN TURNED ON MY MOTHER. SHE NOW CALLS IT SID VICIOUS. I WANTED TO HAVE IT STUFFED FOR MY CHRISTMAS PRESENT, BUT SADLY MY MOTHER WOULD NOT ALLOW IT.)

Me.

I found it chewing on an electrical cord under a table after twenty minutes of searching.

I am so off topic.

But anyway. My parents are in Canada! Why, you ask? For their twentieth anniversary, I tell you! Their anniversary is also the same day as my birthday (which is also my aunts bday) so they never got to do much for it. But this year, they ditched this stupid 90 degree weather to go to Canada, where they can wear hats and winter jackets and sweaters and not die of heatstroke! At this point, I'm just wearing sweaters and pretending its cold outside.

They come home tomorrow....er....today.....and I must say, I will be sad to see my aunt leave. Not only does she let me eat a healthy dinner of ramen noodles, mashed potatoes, and pineapple three nights in a row (I'm seriously not making this up xD) , she made us homemade kettle corn drizzled with chocolate @_@
Stay with us forever, please.

What else have I been doing since I last posted?

Reading. (I already mentioned Allegiant earlier, so I'll skip over that part.)

House of Hades by Rick Riordan FINALLY came out. Luckily better than MARK OF ATHENA WHERE HE ****************** !!!!!!!! (in case anyone here reads the series but hasn't read MoA yet.) Let's just say ended on a cliffhanger.

Wanna know who he dedicated House of Hades to?

"To the fans. Sorry about that cliffhanger. Okay, not really. MUHAHAHAHAHA."

I'm not making this up. It was a good book, and thankfully didn't end on ANOTHER cliffhanger. And wasn't toooooo sad.

UNLIKE ALLEGIANT.

I'm not even going to talk about it.

Okay, I'm sure you guys didn't come here to hear me talk about books....

Well, I got shipped a few more times >.> . I heard some awesome music, such as this. . @_@
I might possibly have an obsession with Matthew Parker....but who doesn't?
Played a lot of minecraft. NEW UPDATE YAY!! I haven't have the time to mess around with it yet, but I'm planning on it!
Beat up my brothers a few times. Why? Well, one of them just randomly jumped me today with a foam-but-still-really-painful baseball bag because he thought I was on facebook. O.o I'm 90% sure my mother is paying them to spy on me. And she's not even here!
I watched a little Doctor Who. Not much. You know. Totally not addicted nope
School >.> I hate, hate, hate school >.> these late nights are killing me. Last week, for the three days I had school, I was running on 7 hours of sleep.

Combined.

Sleep is for the weak. And the girls who decide to rewatch their favorite episodes late at night because they can't sleep.

And that's it!

I've got nothing.

I am
Boooooring.

And, besides Champion by Marie Lu coming out in November, having my grandparents fly down from Chicago for Thanksgiving (where I found out Veronica Roth's mom is in my grandma's book club O.O I'M LIKE THREE DEGREES FROM THE DEVIL. I kid, I kid. but I'm still not over Allegiant.), not much happened.

Thus ends November, I guess.

December

Merrrrrrry Christmas! The time where terrible holiday music that makes me want to cut my ears off blasts 24/7 (seriously, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town by the Jackson Five should be outlawed.) , I am forced to watch holiday movies that I despise (This video by my friend Ryan Matlock sums up how I feel about this, and other Christmas related stuff. Seriously, go check out the video, and his channel. He's pretty awesome.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uw7WdmJW9s4) and I sit in my room trying to avoid going caroling or something.

Ho, ho, ho.*sarcasm right there*

I kid, I kid.

No I'm not.

I dunno, I had a great Christmas and all, but I just don't think I really got into the Christmas spirit and all. But that's because I hate holiday music and movies and things like that. :P

And, with every Christmas...

Comes the Christmas light show.

You probably don't know what I'm talking about if you aren't one of my neighbors who are blinded from Black Friday to January 1st. But every single year, my father gets out his totes and totes of Christmas lights and decorates our back yard. And usually causes the electricity on the block to complete go out. I must say, it looks pretty awesome. :D My dad goes crazy, haha. It's become a yearly thing in my household. And this year, it was twice as big. But luckily, we have a generator now. :P I wish I had pictures.

We had three Christmases this year. We had a Christmas on Black Friday when one set of grandparents flew down for Thanksgiving, one on the real Christmas with my grandparents from Arkansas, and one the day my grandma came down a few days after Christmas. It was great having so much family come over! Even if I had to sleep on the couch ;) We haven't seen a lot of them in forever, so it was fun seeing everyone again.

And, I kind of have to talk about how this Christmas was a fandom Christmas. O.O As in, my parents would hand me something from a book series I love or a TV show I watch, and say "I have no clue what this is, but I know you'll love it." It was pretty awesome. :D I would be jumping up and down as they looked on with a "What the heck?" expression on their face. :P

Also in December, finals made me keel over, my friend made me watch the bonus features of the 1D movie (SHUT UP ALL OF YOU I WAS FORCED I SWEAR and it was only the bonus features...) and I finally am here for Christmas break.

andidon'tgobacktoschoolonmondayshutup

And for New Years, my brother and I stayed up till midnight (and this time, we were actually allowed to!). He decided to stuff some of those poppers that you throw at the ground and they explode into one of those things that you pull the strings and streamers pop out.

And his fingers nearly burned off.

*sigh*

Thus ends December.

January

Well, not much to talk about here. Since it's only January 4th ;) I've pretty much been on my laptop a lot the past few days. Oh, yeah, I finally bought a laptop! :D 

And now it is broken.

Yep.

Well, okay, the laptop itself is just fine. But even though we have internet, it won't let me connect, and not even my dad can figure out what's wrong. So he's probably going to have to reset it. *sigh* But enough about that. :P

And now I am blogging! :D Obviously. While listening to Zedd. (Also, let me give a shoutout to Ben for introducing me to Zedd, because I have had the album Clarity on repeat for like two weeks. It's awesome. )
And checking Facebook, where I just found this. And for some reason I am laughing. But I need a picture here, so...


 And, this post really isn't a product of a New Year's resolution. I just had some time on my hands :P

So, yeah. All  I have been doing is listening to stuff on Soundcloud, watching youtube, playing Minecraft, and talking to people. Which has been fun. ^-^ I'm dreading school....That's half of the reason I didn't post (besides not being able to), is because I have nothing to post ABOUT besides school.

Oh, and the Lurkville album, but that's a whole 'nother story....

Alright, I've run out of things to talk about that you would actually be interested in, so I shall depart. See you guys later!
