Cheese, Nerdfighters, and Seven Postitions

I could rant for a while about HP being moved, but I'll do that later. (As in, another post).

So lately I've noticed that I've been saying one particular phrase a lot - using it as an ice breaker sort of thing when it gets awkward. 'Do you like cheese?' I'm serious, I've been asking people this. So, when I searched the phrase on Google, the first result was a quiz "What Kind of Cheese Are You?" Apparently, I am American cheese. And I was so sure I'd be Swiss.

I have discovered Hank and John Green (please don't hunt me down if that was incorrect!), and I am now a Nerdfighter. I love the chat room there. People are so nice, and intelligent. Tell me where else you can find people who have a tendency to spell everything correctly. And they all are into nerdy stuff like Star Wars, Harry Potter and all that other good stuff. I also love the weapons of choice; Brain (I think I use mine adequately), Heart (Umm, mine beats?), Calculator (It solves the fancy equations so that I don't have to), and the Trombone (used to play it! WOOO! Go low brass!). Oh, and you're probably wondering what the weapons are for. Nerdfighters are fighting against world suckwith our brains, hearts, calculators, and trombones.

On that topic of musical instruments I must admit it. I am a geek who can play the cell phone. Actually, I was bored, searched for random things, and eventually came across a website of instrument jokes. There are several that I'm fond of from there, so I'm going to bullet some of my favorites.

• How do you tune two (insert instrument here)s? Shoot one of them.
• How can you tell if a kid on the playground is the child of a trombonist? He can't swing, and he has complains with the slide.
• What do you call a (insert musician type here) with half a brain? Gifted.
• What's most tragic about a minivan with five (insert instrument here)s running off a cliff? You could have fit more.
• (innuendo alert!) Trumpets do it with three fingers, baritones do it with four, but trombones do it in seven positions. (I laughed way to long when I read that).
  
• Two tuba players walk past a bar... Hey! It could happen.

Nobody ever gets the last one when you say it to them. I only found two friends who got it. Even after I explained that the stereotype is that tubas are drunks. And that's my favorite after the seven positions too...

So, I've made friends with another Slytherin. I told you there were other anti-Voldemort (you don't pronounce the T people, get it right!) Slytherins out there. You just have to look real hard. But it's nice to be friend with another Harry Potter freak for once, because they don't think you think about Harry Potter way too much.

Oh, and another friend of mine and I are trying to annoy our friend into reading Harry Potter as well as we possibly can, by calling her, and asking for the transfiguration homework. Since I know that she reads this, she should know that if she doesn't start reading the books soon, I'm going to call for the Transfiguration homework at three in the morning, and that won't be fun.

I also realised that I haven't mentioned it, but I'm one of the people who didn't like Breaking Dawn. Mary Sue completely pulverized the book. And with the way Jacob's book ends (book 2), there's no way in hell that there will be a fourth movie. However, even with this disappointment, I look forward to the Twilight movie, which got moved after what I shall forever more refer to as the day of black potter happenings, to November. Oh, and the majority of the teeshirts for the movie are REALLY tacky.

It's slightly past eleven, and I will still procrastinate on going to sleep... But it's best to be off.

Laters,

Phase ten, and YAY!!!

Today I have a quote!!!! It's a cheezy quote, yes, but it's a quote that I like. Here it is; If music be the food of love play on, play on - Shakespeare. Don't ask me what play because I have no damn clue. Anyway I like this quote because of two reasons, maybe three. First, because I like to sing a lot, and I'm really into playing my instrument, and I feel that a moment without music is a moment lost. The second reason is that I like romance fanfics. I despise romance novels, yet somehow I just can't live without the existence of romance HP fanfics.

On the topic of fanfics, I think that I'm slowly drifting away from my crazy addiction. So I'm getting a real life!!! YAY!! Go me!!

Now for the topic at hand... Phase Ten... Dun Dun Dun! I've discovered that it's really annoying when you have too many players. We were playing with six people today and it got so confusing. So my question to you, is... Does cheese make it easier to remember what's going on in a card game? And if so, can it be canned cheese? And what about crackers? End randomness.

You can FINALLY pre-order Forever Dawn on amazon. So that gets a yay! Umm more yay... My birthday is soon YAY! And umm, cheese is taking over the universe, YAY!

I've started using labels too. I plan to go and enter labels to every post...

From the girl who's dream is to make it onto the American Idol's top three, then blow it with a stupid mistake, yet still get a better record deal than the winner,

Too Many Books a Very Unlikely Chance to Finish Them All

So first I wanted to say that last post was really random for me. I don't know what consumed me to do it. Ah well, can't fight our subconsciouses... Can we? Like imagine it, an argument that will probably end up using your subconscious for your own side to fight against said ally. Can somebody yell out irony?

Hmm you probably want to know about the pic huh? Yah so I found this website called free rice dot com. It's kinda cool. You just answer vocabulary questions and for each question you get right they donate twenty grains of rice. Hmm probably not meant to be a spokesperson...

Okay now onto the title of the postymabobber. There are too many books in the world and much too little time. I mean just the teen category alone would probably take someone who can read two to three books a day near fifty years. And then of course someone would have to be reading all the new books that come out too! Hmm I wonder if such a job exists. I need to figure out a job for later...

Epiphany mode has activated! I could write book reviews for a newspaper. Then maybe I could make a career to work at a really good book review magazine (maybe I could even start my own!) That would be so boss... Hmm do you think I should get a degree in English if I'm interested in reviewing books? Hmm but what about being a musician. The decision could effect my life forever... Good thing I'm not deciding now:)

Also I may be interested in destroying a few people who were keeping music that I like from me. I mean who would keep Linkin Park, Coldplay, or Michelle Branch from me! Then again not many are too informed in what my music likings are.

The person who says weird things like "that's boss',

It's the Introvert Life

Don't freak guys, I'm still going to do those obsessive list thingys. It's just easier to space them out yah know? So anyway on to the topic at hand!

So lately I've been bored so I googled introvert. It's totally freaky. Like for one I've realized what a total introvert I am. Sure I don't come off like that at all on the web, but, like, that's because you can't see me. If you observed me for about an hour you would see how uncomfortable I am with being forced with people (Especially mum, she's a chatterbox). School is one of the most draining affairs that I'm required to do everyday. Especially lunch... I prefer to spend that time in the library instead so I can read or get stuff done. I'm also really reserved, unlikely to talk to anyone else unless I have to.

At my old school I got my first friend in a snap because we were rather forced together by fate. Lockers were by each others. Had most of our classes together. Our last names put us together in many classes (at least at the beginning, the teachers learned too quick...)

At this new school fate has decided to take a vacation off in some distant land... So for my first day I tried to do what I did at my old school. Make friends with the first person who's warm with you. Apparently that doesn't always work so hotly, because the girl wasn't really the type of person I should be friends with. So the week goes on...

Then with luck I notice that another girl who's in most of my classes (even sitting by me in a few) doesn't seem to be really outgoing. Well we clicked! She turned out to be a swell friend, and she was always willing to let me listen if I let her listen (that's right not talk.) Then after break my schedule changes and I only get to see her at recess, because everyone has that at the same time.

In this new schedule I'm kind of uncomfortable because the teachers are different with my new classmates (new to me.) In SS there are way to many group things, and everyone already has there own niche and I'm just screwing it up. In science it's ok, but that's because my teach does a lot of more independent stuff. Math was cool I like my teacher, but again the niches are made, luckily though, so far anyway this class is more of a do problems thing so that's good. Health was just awkward, but the tension broke up a bit when I said this guy's name was Robin instead of Robert, and everyone laughed... I'll admit that I did too.................. I've got more classes but these were really the stand out things of the day.

Oh wait, no! I forgot about our discussion in band. The directer didn't have us play anything, but instead talked about how this is the year of the rat and that this is going to be a bad year for him (he's apparently a horse.) This of course started one of his trademark way off topic 'Are you sure that you're supposed to be teaching band?' discussions. Class ended with him talking about how he wasn't sure he could rely on us tubas. Says we look shifty. Of course then he goes on to badmouth all the other instruments... as usual. I'm really going to miss him as director, he's very umm unique.

Yah so that's it for now.

Music!!

Oh my goodness I think music is taking over my whole existence. I haven't been able to do like ANY of my homework without music! This can drive a person who is already off the wall, into a mental institution.

I will now list all new bands that friends or other things have turned me onto, and addicted me to

1. Coldplay - especially clocks
2. Panic! At the Disco - only a few songs though
3. Evanescence - I just got the CD and now it seems to be ALL I'm humming!
4. All-American Rejects - recommended by the same person as #2, she has good music tastes!
5. hmm actually I think that's it.

My life now seems to does it's revolutions around those bands + Dido (What would life be like with out Dido!?!?!), school (actually not too bad), juggling (I've also grown addicted to this), reading fanfictions to the extent of insanity, and moving it seems like every five seconds my friend mentions this and it's driving me insane!

And you think Labor Day Weekend was going to get me a life but NO! it just gives me a new band to be addicted to, and juggling to be addicted to (I got my set only on Saturday).

Your obsessive, going crazy, bouncy, friend,
