Oh hai.

"Can we pretend that airplanes

in the night sky

are like shooting stars?

I could really use a wish right now."

Ho hum, I have nothing to write about. OH wait. I do have things to talk about. So many things. Things such as moving home, the Lost finale, the last few Glee episodes, summer escapades, books, how Miley Cyrus broke my heart and Justin Bieber filled it, etc. For this catch-up blog of sorts, I'll make it all condensed for you folks.

Moving Home: Fun. But let's go back now.

Lost: Liked (loved?) it. I don't question. All I have to say for now is that the writers have said time and time again that they wrote it as a character driven show. Keeping that in mind, the finale wrapped up the characters very well. As for everything else? Eloise said it best to Desmond, "Questions will only lead to more questions."

Glee: Artie can dance, and Idina is making regular appearances. Enough said.

Summer Escapades: Lots of car. Lots of friends. Lots of Brewers.

Books: I'm just starting to yank this into gear. Starting with Before I Fall.

Miley Cyrus: I stood up for her for so long. Now she stood me up by being stupid.

Justin Bieber: Awh, little Bieb's plays the drums. :D

I promise to expand on a few of the aformentioned topics, but for now I just wanted to check in and quiet a few people. :]

Rad: Being back!

Unrad: Being allergic to my house.

Last Lines

Okay, so today I am participating in the Last Line Blogfest, like I said yesterday. The "last line" I chose is from one of the first chapters of my NaNoWriMo novel. So, without further ado:

Dillan diligently followed Sky down the hall and up the stairs to her room, with Ian silently trailing behind. They reached a bedroom door with a large white sign that read "Skylar Mae: Knock Please" with colorful doodles covering the paper in every direction.

She pushed the door open halfway, before pausing to face the boys. “Well… wait here please, actually.”

Dillan and Ian watched Skylar disappear into her room for a few short minutes before she returned with one full suitcase. She closed the door behind her and plopped the suitcase on the ground with a small thud.

“These are the people most important in my life.” Skylar explained, opening the suitcase, “Except for those that don’t fit."

Out of the suitcase emerged dozens of ordinary kitchen tools.

I never edited anything I wrote in November, and reading back has told me this is probably something I should do.

Anyway, that's all for today. Now I shall study.

Rad: This comic, and This comic.

Unrad: Spending your last weekend in the Library.

4.28 4.29 4.30 A Goodbye. Except Not.

When and why did mustaches become the new thing?

I mean, it's funny... and I kind of like them

(on inanimate objects, only!),

But why are they so popular as of late?

For three of the days I missed this month, I have blog drafts written. They're just so... useless, I didn't post them. So really, I didn't miss quite as many days. However, I still failed I suppose. Oh well, we're not all as cool as Hayley G Hoover. Anyway, today is the last day of BEDA. I still feel as though it was a success, and that I will now blog more frequently in the future (I hope you do, too!). And, I made new friends through it. This is always a plus. :]

FINALS have arrived, my friends. And the bad news is... I NEED at least a B on my math final and bio final. I literally just took a deep breath after I typed that sentence. It is not going to be easy, folks.

Okay, now I have an assignment for you. Watch This Clip. Right now, just watch it. Before you read the next paragraph.

Usually I tend to just zone out laugh tracks during sitcom episodes, which is a good thing. However, as soon as I become consciously aware of them, I cannot stop paying attention to them. Furthermore, they bug the crap outta me. Almost to the point where I cannot even watch the sitcom anymore. You see, I will know when I want to laugh, because my brain will tell me. I don't need these fake bursts of laughter to help me. Does anyone really forget to laugh, but then as soon as they hear the laugh track they go, " Oh! Right, that was funny! Ha ha ha!" Why are they even there? Who's idea was it? Bah. That's why I like The Office. They let you laugh when you want, and the awkward silence is golden.

Now watch that clip again, while you are consciously aware of each and every laugh track. Horrible, right?

Anyway, there's a blogger hosting a Last Line Blogfest tomorrow, where she's asking everyone to post a last line (with it's previous context) on your blog on May 1. Something that you've written. I have one picked out. It's from my NaNo novel. You should do it too! Just make sure to sign up.

So, that's what you'll see here tomorrow. Then, I shall write a blog about Edward Monkton, and later this week I'll post my final Summer Reading list. Three blogs a week May. This sounds doable. TBWM. :]

Rad: Done with classes!

Unrad: Packing your entire room compact enough to fit into a van.

4.27 Nom Nom

"But, I'm in my jammy jams!" -Erin

"That's okay, I'm in my worky works." -Andy

(The Office)

So, I'm like four episodes behind on The Office. Today, since I had a paper to write, I watched the St. Patties Day one in attempt to start catching up. I am so a fan of Andy and Erin. They're adorable, and Andy really likes her. It's cute.

I have only three more days of classes. It's only April 27. This is so weird! I'm going to be home in a week and two days! I don't want to leave this place and these people for so long, though. For once in my life, I wish summer was like... a month. I suppose that's what I get for going to a college where all my friends live like 8 hours away. I just hate missing people! Everywhere I go, I miss people! Can we all just congregate? Please?

But I do want to be home. And here. Make this possible, please. I refuse to be your test subject, however.

Oh! Today I workshopped my monologue for my acting class. I had just finished memorizing it this morning, so my focus wasn't completely on my delivery. Except, she loved it. And I tapped into the emotion surprisingly well. It was almost an out of body experience. I really like how easily I'm able to embody this character...much easier than the last scene I did. So, yay!

Rad: I TOTALLY rocked my math test. Best I've felt about a math test, ever.

Unrad: Sickly boyfriends. :/

Better post tomorrow, I promise! It'll be about Edward Monkton. Hang in there, April's almost over!

4.26 Can. Not. Miss.

I cannot miss another day. However, I have nothing to say. I worked on math pretty much the entire day, and this means I have to write an entire paper tomorrow. So, I will have no time to write tomorrow either.

However, remember my whiney blogs about not being able to see Muse in concert? Fear not! I have a ticket. Officially. For next October. I don't like countdowns, but if I did this would definitely be an occasion for one.

Last night my friend alerted me of the new concert locations they posted. One three-way Skype call and ten minutes later... plans were set. :] AH!

Night, ya'll. :]

4.24 4.25 Nerdwhat?

Nerdfighter.

Ever since Brotherhood 2.0, I've tried to explain what being a Nerdfighter means on several occations to humans who have no previous knowledge on the matter. This, I have found, is extremely difficult. If you want to understand me, you need to understand that I am a Nerdfighter. This will not only expand our topics of discussion, but it will also help you understand several of my snarky side comment references for the past 3 years. So, today we are going to explore how to inform a non-Nerdfighter exactly what a Nerdfighter is. Since I know some of you are Nerdfighters, I am looking for input from you guys, as well.

First, we need to start with a definition. Let me take a quote directly from John Green's Wikipedia page.

"John Green and his brother Hank ran a video blog project called Brotherhood 2.0. The original project ran from January 1 to December 31, 2007, with the premise that the brothers would cease all text-based ("textual") communication for the year and instead converse by video blogs, made available to the public via YouTube (where they are known as the "vlogbrothers") and on their Brotherhood 2.0 website."

'Nerdfighters' is the official name for their more dedicated viewers. The community established by John, Hank and the Nerdfighters is often referred to as 'Nerdfighteria'."

Now, this video is the next thing you should watch. The playlist they link you to at the end doesn't include the videos I would have picked, so if you want my little opinion as to what videos you should plunge into first, ask me. Warning: Catching up on the VlogBrothers is a huge undertaking, but highly rewarding.

Now you have a basic understanding as to what a Nerdfighter is, I must inform you. This is not a little community. Their followers are many, and their gatherings are huge.

Personal Notes:

- Nerdfighters often post Nerdfighter notes in copies of John Green's books at bookstores. The first time I found one, I basically had a field day. It was the background of my phone until I got a new phone.

- My friend and I took a Nerdfighter picture at prom junior year, and it was in one of their montage videos. It definitely made us happy for a long time.

- At midnight on the day Papertowns was released, I checked all over town and no one had it. I was bummed. The next day, I came home from school and their was a signed copy on my bed. AH! Thanks, mom. :]

- Project for Awesome ("John and Hank created an annual YouTube charity project called The Project for Awesome (P4A for short), a project in which YouTube users take one day (December 17th) out of their year to create a video promoting a charity of their choosing.") is on my birthday.

Now, this was not much of an explanation as it was "watch this" type deal, but really that's how it is. You won't understand if you don't watch.

Any comments?

4.23 Psych!

Quote of the Day:

"Allyson, what's 1/4 divided by 1."

"Stacy, we're screwed."

Food for thought:

I really want a huge, slightly offensive, worldwide (or national) psych out. Wouldn't this be just fantastic? For example:

-On election day, all the news broadcasters are told to report results inaccurately so that a third party representative, or some unknown guy is leading in the poles. After they announce the winner, Obama pops up on the screen and yells, "PSYCH!"

-Or the Weather Channel lying about tornados and hurricanes. So, after all the sirens have gone off and everyone is hiding away, the meteorologists start laughing and yell, "GOTCHYA!"

-Or if all the doctors in the world lied about a new epidemic, and started diagnosing everyone.

Awful, but funny.

My roomie and I were having fun with this concept the other day.

Also, I've have a tune from a commercial in my head for two days now. NO idea which commercial. SO annoying. I wish I could hum it for you. If you have my number, call. I will hum, and you will figure it out for me or be annoyed with me. Either will do.

Rad: Mall of America tomorrow.

Unrad: Well, I don't know!

Jam of the moment: If We Ever Meet Again

Add me on the Book of Faces?: Let's be friends. :]

Also, I haven't updated you on my Greek progress in forever, so I'll start that again, now that I've started watching again.
