Apparently the cure for blogger's block is to tell everyone you have it, cause I seem to be cured! Eureka, I am a genius! So what if I discovered this by accident....
Anyway.
while I was feeling all bleh, and bored, and blogger blocked, I randomly found this awesome little note pad. The front has all these different languages on it, and it's just cool. I took it and wrote down all my plans for my BFS list, and my resolutions, and life plans. It was so great to finally get all of it into one spot, instead of floating around in my head and random bits of paper.
This also prompted my second Eureka moment. I seemed (yes, past tense) to have a problem with fitting all my hobbies in. I'd end up doing a lot of one thing, and neglecting the other things. So I came up with a system, and divided them into 7, so I could have one a day for the week. That way I can be sure to get them all (baring the fact that I don't always have free time one some days)
and it's worked so far! I'm super happy about this!
Also, this weeks Blog Challenge of Epicnessishness is a very complicated one, involving drawing and I quote, 'standing at the edge of a cliff looking down
like the world suddenly has no gravity and we're standing on the ceiling'
or some such randomness. It shall take a long time, and in the mean time we will carry on with our challenges, but just not this week.
And, I magically found a picture of a Crafty thing to show you this coming Crafty-time Tuesday!
Bother, and now I'm tired. I had stuff to say!!!

A bit of catching up
Today will be a catching up of sorts, I believe. For instance, I have received the most epic blog award ever, been tagged, and I have the weekly Blog Challenges of Epicnessishness to do today.
So, first, the awesome award.
I got this beaut from Notquiteawake over at http://realityfaker.blogspot.com
She is so funny, I love her posts. Her snarky sense of humor is just to die for. She almost always has something funny in her posts, and when she doesn't, she has a good reason, and the posts are meaningful (versus always ranting about the lamest things. you won't find that there)
so yeah, the award rule dealio game is to list 6 things that I'm a master of, and then pass this one to 6 people who are masters of friendship.
1. Craziness. Seriously, you'll never find someone hyper-er than me. Don't ask what happens on New Years Eve, when I'm up even later than my usual. I'd have to kill you if you knew.
2. Watching Doctor Who. I bet you'll never find someone who stayed up as late as I did watching it. Ever. and if you some how managed to, that person should be shot, because at that point it'd just be madness+insanity+pie=woah.
3. Eating tacos/burritos. man, those things are good.
4. Sticking my foot in my mouth. I am always tripping over my words.
5. Falling over/general clumsiness. I tripped over my own feet, fell down the stairs, ran into the wall, and broke my nose. Need I say more?
6. Fudging my way through stuff. Seriously. A) that prom dress never should have worked B) I totally slept through a class, and got the highest score on the test afterwards. How?!?!
ok, so 6 people who are masters at friendship......
1. Spot--> http://whatpassesforsaneonacrazyday.blogspot.com/
She is always leaving comments on my insane ramblings. I love getting commenst from everyone, but I always love her's because she always finds something sweet and supportive to say. or funny. funny's good to :P
2. Rebekah--> http://my-life-is-ninja.blogspot.com/
She is my twin from another mother, I swear. We know each other so well, we can have entire conversations by blinking and twitching our eyebrows.
3. Shiny--> http://twistingline.blogspot.com/
She is the best advice giver ever. She keeps the balance of 'i iz srious' and 'HOLY CRAP!! IT'S A SQUIRREL!!!!' advice perfectly.
4. Miss--> http://homebakedweb.objectivecompany.com/
She is a voice of sanity (only when it counts mind you. she can just as hyper as the rest of us nuts) and sweetness when I need it. She balances out my habit of making a desision based on what sounds more like a Star Wars book, and my habit of wanting to punch people's faces in when they do something that's even the slightest bit annoying.
5. Creative A--> http://headdeskforwriters.blogspot.com/
She is the sweatest most sincere person ever. And an amazing writer to boot. Her blog is very professional. Not in a boring way, just that 'ooo, it's shiny' way (yeah, like that made sense :P)
6. and I'm totally cheating here, but
Notquiteawake--> http://realityfaker.blogspot.com/
sorry for breaking the rules, but I just want to give this back, because she rocks like that. And she's a master at friendship, and totally deserves this. (and no I'm not making you do it over again. Just want you to know that I love your friendship ^_^)
----------------------
So, Rebekah, who was mentioned earlier, tagged me in a game of blog tag.
Um, so I guess I'm supposed to say 7 random things about myself, and then pass it on
1. Uh, I don't like milk. Yeah, weird I know. Seriously, not even with cookies.
2. I'm still trying to convince people that plaid is a color, so it can be my favorite.
3. I prefer my cookies un-baked. Mmmmmm, salmonella.....
4. I can quote one of Brian Regan's cds from start to finish, 24 tracks.
5. I'm wearing a bumble skirt right now, that I will hopefully get a picture of sometime in the future for here.
6. I'm not a wimpy person. Like, I can take a lot of stuff. But I'm absofriggin'lutely terrified of spiders.
7. I like my hot chocolate warm.
and that leaves the tagging! *cackle* I think I shall be evil and tag everyone that I gave the award to :P
---------------------------
Challenges!
This week, I'll start with the Miss.
Her challenge is to write about your favorite book.
Upon hearing this I immediately started panicking, because there was no way i was going to be able to pick just one, or even just 20. So, in true vader-randomness, I picked the first one that came to mind.
The Enchanted Chocolate Pot, by Patricia C. Wrede and Caroline Stevermer.
oh man, how I love this book! First, the writing style is unique in the way that it shows the lives of the two main characters. You see, Cecy, is at home, while her cousin Kate is in London, and the book is their letters back and forth. It is masterfully done in this style, and is a joy to read.
It is set in 1800s England, but with the twist that magic exists.
It has such humor in it! Oh it made me laugh. It is truly a great book.
so yeah, that is ONE of many of my favorites.
Shiny's challenge was simply the word Alaska.
So, uh.... Alaska eh? hmmmm.
Oh I know! I could tell you my plans for stowing aboard her luggage and... oh wait, the government might be reading this.
hmmm. Oh I know!
so my sister is going to Alaska for the summer, to earn some extra dough. And in the summer in Alaska, the sun never sets, which would be a dream come true to me. Can you imagine it being light out all the time? having the glorious sun out? If it's one thing I love, it's sunshine.
And then my brain randomly catapulted to traveling.... ok, I guess I'll roll with this.
So, when I get to be an old fogey (meaning collage age) I want to go backpacking through the world. and...... woah, I'm not even going to say what my brain just catapulted to, it's that random. (seriously? where'd the Japanese part come from?)
uh yeah, I think I'm going to call it a night. My brain won't even pay attention anymore. I guess I'll do Shiny's challenge tomorrow....
So, first, the awesome award.

The early bird may get the worm, but the night owl gets the sleep
Because I am a slacker face, I am only now just getting to Miss's weekly challenge. Yeah, I know, shame on me.
But anyway! Here I am, doing it now!
Her challenge was to make plans for achieving one of the items on our bucket list. The one I think I shall do is "Play my guitar in a park, and get money in a hat. And not just a few coins :D"
So, my plan for this is to collect a few songs that I really like, and practice them like mad. I may or may not do this with my sister, seeing as we both have this goal.
One of the songs I have picked is a guitar version of 'Linus and Lucy', usually referred to as the Charlie Brown song.
And I need to practice my chords a lot more, because I feel rather handy capped in that area.
To put this in more immediate goals, every Sunday instead of all my internet vegging, I shall practice the guitar for a decent chunk of time. Hopefully, I'll eventually make it to that park!
And that is all for now. My parents have been getting us up earlier than usual, because the early bird gets the worm, or some such logic. What this means for my night-owl self? I'm just tired all the time *grumpy face* I don't think they ever mentioned that the bird was grouchy and tired.... or the fact that worms are gross, and I don't actually want one.

A post a day keeps the doctor away
(and the title is totally NOT in reference to Doctor Who, for all you nerds who might have been freaking out right there. It just sounded catching ok!?)
hmmm, so just a quick post tonight, for reasons mostly beyond my control.
you see, I usually plan an hour for blogging stuff (and no, I hardly ever take up that much time. but it is good to plan extra, don't you think?)
well, as I logged into blogger, I couldn't help but notice the fact that I had well over 20 posts waiting for me to read them.
Uh, I guess today was Blogging day or some thing. Any way, this left little time for me to actually post myself.
Then, on one of my last posts to read, I discovered one that I felt deserved a well thought out comment.
So, today shall just be a tiny announcement.
Shiny and Miss! I hereby challenge you to a blog duel!
ahem.... what is a blog duel you ask? well, we have decided to do a marathon, to see who can keep their streak of a post-a-day. And with the weekly challenge (yeah, I still haven't done one of those), things could get interesting fast.
so yeah, that is my post. The funny story (and picture!) shall come tomorrow, and possibly *gasp* some actually interesting thoughts.

MAI BUCKET!!!!!
see more Lolcats and funny pictures
*cough* ahem, I iz serus now.
What's with the bucket you say? well this weeks blog challenge from my awesome sister from Twisting Line (http://twistingline.blogspot.com/) is to make a bucket list so to speak. or a collection of all those weird things you've all ways wanted to do, but never had the time (is that what a bucket list is? I feel very ignorant now.)
so, in no real order
- Hurl my shrieking self out of an airplane, with a shoot of course.
- Successfully convince someone that I am from the CIA, and that I need to take them in for questioning.
- Play my guitar in a park, and get money in a hat. And not just a few coins :D
- cut my hair really short, and perhaps dye it red.
- learn how to make good techno.
- learn how to make illegal fireworks and/or explosives.
- learn how to hack into computers.
- I want to become awesome at fencing. (also, if anyone makes any jokes about this, I'll probably not be amused. I mean the sword kind.)
- Wear colored contacts and freak people out.
- Practice writing up-side down, backwards, and up-side down backwards until I can do it almost as good as my normal.
- Put my hair in a fohawk/mohawk. and when it's decently long too :P
- go back packing through Europe. And to go to Australia.
- Get featured on an episode of Threadbanger (http://www.threadbanger.com/)
- Prank call Brain Regan
uh, so that's it for now. I'll probably add some slightly more sane one's when I'm not up so late *cough*
My other sister's challenge will have to wait till tomorrow, because it requires actually being serious. (she wants us to make plans to get one of the things on our lists done)
---------
So, I promised some book reviews didn't I? I was totally planning on doing one today, but then I looked at the clock that currently reads 11:46 and kinda freaked out.
Oh, I've been up much later, and was able to function too, but I have a carp-load (woah, I think I just came up with a word) of homework to do tomorrow, so I would like to be a bit more alert, ya know?
so, I guess you'll just have to wait till.....hopefully tomorrow *crosses fingers* I really don't know if I'll have time.
Speaking of which..... I was totally awesome and left myself a week to sew a prom dress for a stag-formal dance I'm going to >_<
So that will suck up even more time. W00t w00t! I am so nuts. This week shall be insane! *little wave* see ya later people!

soooo, my sisters (http://twistingline.blogspot.com/ and http://homebakedweb.objectivecompany.com/) and I are doing a fun little dealibob, where we issue a challenge, and the other two have to write about it in their blog. It can be anything from telling a funny story, or simpling saying were-platypus.
speaking of which...... that's my challenge this week girls! you must do a post about a were-platypus.
this is the best picture I could find, but feel free to come up with some thing completely new. And be funny!
one of my sisters challenge this week is to write about a cat.
So, they other day I was busily getting ready for the day, when my brother's eyes got really wide, and he pointed past me to the roof. I turned to see what he was going on about, and there stood one of my cats, casually trying to get in the window, from the garage roof, which is really high off the ground, and not to mention icy. So, of course I calmly opened the window to let her in.
HA!
In honesty, I freaked out, nearly breaking the window (not the glass part, but the slidey device) when I opened it, and almost dropped the screen as I rushed to get it out. And I lunged out the window, nearly braining myself on the top, and grabbed the cat before she slipped and fell. It was entertaining. And of course she tried to climb right back out once I set her down.
My other sister's challenge is just the word shiny. Which I must confess made me very happy, because I love shiny things. Instead of a story, or what have you, I'm simply going to take picture of everything shiny on my desk :P
Exhibit A is actually lip gloss. It's clear, and it has little flowers in it. It's so cool, I don't actually use it :P
Exhibit B is the collection of those sort of squished marble things. I don't know what they're called :-/
This next one is a duck made out of blown glass, which a friend gave me for Christmas a while ago.
These are the cool, clearish dice that are from my dice collection (yeah, don't ask how that one started. I really don't know)
This is my little collection of broken mirrors.
this, I believe, is obsidian, but I can't be sure. I found it one day, and I'm hardly the rock expert.
and a picture of my awesome pirate feather, just for kicks. (it's one of those that you put in the captain hat ^_^)
