Haven't... posted... in so... LONG!

Sorry! Very sorry! Very sorry for not posting in so long!

It's just that, well, nothing's been happening with me. I've been spending all my days mostly alone in the house either watching Doctor Who or reading fanfiction.

I didn't do much today either. Slept until 1. Started the impossible task of going through all my clothes to see which ones are going to Goodwill. Began the preparations for going to camp (love camp!). Made some tentative plans for tomorrow.

And yeah. Not much interesting stuff going on in my life. I'll try to post more though... as soon as I get home from camp. I leave on Sunday. Whoo!

Meh, Haven't posted in a while...

I've decided to be supremely lazy today. I'm just going to lie in bed all day, watch Doctor Who, perhaps a bit of TrueBlood, and read fanfiction. I'll tell you a bit about the party that I went to yesterday, and then I'm going back to my laziness.

So, my amazing friend Hannah had her graduation party yesterday. And there was silliness and "What do you mean I'm supposed to act like a grown up?!" all around. We had a confetti poppers (loud), Apples to Apples: Jewish Edition (the one Jewish girl in attendence kicked all our asses, surprise surprise), dinosaur cake (supposedly the only reason Kyla came to the party), Reduced Shakespeare Company (hilarious), Scattergories (I suck at it), fireworks bought by Hannah's older brother ("Aren't those illegal in the state of Connecticut?" "SHH! Keep it down! ...Yes, they are.") and Candy Land (Because we're five).

It was amazingly fun! Another "Happy Graduation" to Hannah, she's amazing, and I'll try to see you again sometime this summer!

...And now I go back to my laziness....

New Obsession

Yesterday, Mom dragged me and Katherine to the Esker Point Beach Concert. She's been trying to get me to go for weeks, but I never wanted to. Finally, I went because it was an excuse to hang out with Katherine.

We did not listen to the band. We did not dance. We talked about Doctor Who for two hours.

I had never seen it. Katherine is a Doctor Who aficionado. She told me to look up episodes on youtube, gave me a list of the first season's episodes (First season with the Ninth Doctor, that is), and then we talked about how cool and funny the show is. Then, after bringing her home, I went online looked up the first episode, watched it, and was hooked.

Thank you Katherine, now I'm obsessed with another Sci-Fi show because of you. Thank you, EVER so much!

Ah, but it's okay. I love this show. The Doctor kicks ass.

Smiles all Around

Short-ish post today because I'm lazy.

I had an awesome time hanging out with Tang today (as we've been planning all week). Lots of fun and laughter. And now, I'm waiting for 9 o'clock to roll around so that I can watch the season premier of TrueBlood. Yay! Smiles all around!

My Nerd Credentials

Proof of my geekery:

• My prized possession's include a model of the fictional spaceship "Serenity" and a wooden katana named "Vera".
• I have five songs on my ipod that are in some way related to Joss Whedon. These are: the main theme from Firefly, the main theme from Angel, a filk about the main character from Firefly (using the main theme as the chorus), a song from the Firefly soundtrack entitled "River's Dance", and another song from Firefly (NOT on the soundtrack) called "The Hero of Canton" (which is what going mad feels like).
• I intend to add even MORE Joss-related songs to my ipod.
• I can swear in Chinese.
• I am an avid reader of fanfiction and occasionally dabble in writing my own.
• I watched Saving Private Ryan solely for a short scene with Nathan Fillion in it.
• I watched all three Matrix movies because the last two each have two second clips of Gina Torres.
• Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land" helped me understand my own religion.
• Almost all of my friends are flans (aka Browncoats, aka fans of Firefly).
• I quote. All the time.
• Almost all of my free time is spent on the Internet.
• The EGE can attest to how hard it is to stump me in Firefly trivia.
• I intend to put as many Joss Whedon references as possible into my video for my final History project.
• I rabidly follow five webcomics.
• I know how amazing Anthony Stewart Head's voice is.
• I will admit to a passing interest in anime... but don't tell Cela.
• On Halloween, I love to go as characters from my favorite movies. I have not gone in a "conventional" costume in years.
• I own three figurines of Serenity characters (Jayne, River, and Mal) and two figurines from Labyrinth ( Jareth the Goblin King and Hoggle).

And... that's about all I can think of right now. Doubtless I'll come up with more and post them at a later date.

Well, I didn't do much today...

After school and drama, I did some homework (le gasp!), watched a couple episodes of "Law & Order: SVU" (I was bored...), listened to Amy Winehouse's version of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" about five thousand times, and contemplated some songs to put on my iPod.

Yeah... that's about it... God, do I have an interesting life or what....

P.S. Music trip on Friday!!!!
