Nobody has time for that!

I wanted to use the other phrase, but it's protected by copyright.

The reason for needing this phrase is this; I have bronchitis. For real. Bronchitis. My brother took me into a Doctor on Wednesday because this stupid cold would not let me go. (In fact it was just getting worse). It was like YOU SHALL NOT PASS. THIS IS THE BRIDGE OF HEALTH. YOU SHALL NOT PASS.

I admit it. I just really wanted a Gandalf gif on this post.

I was like, "But I really want to be well!"

So I finally went to the Doctor and got a medicine that would actually help me, and today I feel much better. Not well, but definitely better.

Yay health!

Right now I am blogging on a brand new computer that my brother bough me for my big First-Time-Adult birthday. (Reason #209 why my brother is better than yours.)

That's right folks. January 12th was my eighteenth Birthday! I am now officially an adult. I think I kind of hate that. It could hold good things, but on the other hand it's a little terrifying. Okay, a lot terrifying. However, I still don't really act like an adult, meaning I'm not all professional and socially brilliant, or really serious and stuff. I'm still a dork, and I still like being a dork, and I don't intend to give it up. So there. I think I'm going to be a dork my whole life. I can see myself becoming one of those crazy old ladies who has a terrible memory and hits people with her Gandalf staff that doubles as an Umbrella. 

I have no idea where that paragraph was going....

ANYWAY!

I wasn't able to do much celebrating on my birthday, unfortunately. I was so sick I couldn't do a lot fun stuff. I spent a lot of the morning feeling dizzy and exhausted, and rather too weak to move. I've felt this way for the past week, but I found it horribly unfair that I should still be this sick on my eighteenth birthday, one of the biggest birthdays a teen can have. I had plans for that day, guys. I did none of them. However, my Mommy and three younger sister came up to celebrate it with me. They arrived later in the evening, but it was still nice to see them. Tiny tried to make it fun for me. She made me a cake and turned on some Taylor Swift and we tried to be a little festive. By around seven, I wasn't feeling as bad, and I was able to sit down and eat with everybody, (which was great). Then Mommy demanded I open gifts. She, Dad and Tiny had picked out this fabulous dark black sweater that feels soft and feathery when you wear it. I don't have any nice sweaters, especially not soft feathery ones, so I fell in love with it. Jessie got me this amazing coat that looks like a feminine version of the Tenth Doctor's Trench-coat. I love that coat. It is so fabulous! Then, as you know, Joey got me an epic new computer because, in his words; "You have an E-Machine from like, 2003!"

My brother is so fabulous.

When I am feeling better, I will try to take pictures and post them for you. Right now I look like a zombie. You wouldn't want to see my shiny, white face. Or my terrifying chapped lips. Or my eyes, which are wreathed in flame.

This is accurate guys.

Well, fairly accurate.

After this gifts I watched Princess Bride, ate delicious, moist cake and it turned into a fun evening. The Princess Bride is one of my favorite movies. It is so funny and ridiculous, and it never really bothers to explain itself much, but that is all part of it's charm. The fight scene between Inigo Montoya and Wesley is gold. And Inigo would have won if he hadn't panicked and started to swing wildly. I'm just saying.

Once the movie was over, we stayed up for a while and chatted about this and that, and my family stayed the night. That was very exciting :)

We went out shopping the next morning. We visited hobby lobby, and that place is so EPIC. WHAT EVEN! Tiny had so much fun she asked Mom if she could stay until Friday, and my Mom, (who is an amazing women) said yes!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

I kind of decided that I was going to celebrate my birthday all week because I was so sick on the actual day. This ended up being a good thing, because two of my friends want to drive up and visit me Today (I SO EXCITED! :-D) And they plan to bring me and Chloe and Sammi back with them to stay the night at my family's house so they can celebrate too! I'm so popular! All legally adult and stuff.

My friends should actually be arriving soon, so I should go now. I hope you all have a lovely weekend, and hopefully I'll be back with a post soon. Hopefully this one wasn't super boring.

Peace Out Y'all!!

Happy Odin's Day

So I'm seventeen now. 

Stiles Stilinski. AKA The-only-reason-I-watch-Teen-Wolf

I was going to do a blog post on Monday - My Birthday. A big epic one with lots of pictures. 

As you can see that didn't make it off my bucket list.

Heh.

It was a good birthday though. I spent it NOT doing writing, but listening to music and jotting down answers to American Government and bashing socialism into the ground. 

WELCOME TO NEW YORK!!!!

IT'S BEEN WAITING FOR YOU

WELCOME TO NEW YORK, WELCOME TO NEW YORK!!!!

Btw, I really like Taylor's new CD. Just sayin.

I finished school pretty early and My Lovely Friend Sammie B. came over for the night. We had  this lovely ham dinner which was yummy and had tasty potatoes in it. Then we had coffee and cake and tea and I opened pressies. I got this epic Gladiator book from my Dear friend Jimmy (which I am so essited about!!!) and I got lots of nice chocolate and epic little coffees (AND FLAVORINGS!!) and I got these adorable tights that look like something you'd find on Amy Pond. All blue and soft and Doctor Who-y.

They're Doctor Who tights okay? 

I'm wearing them now

I love them. 

Then I watched Maze Runner for the third time. It's just as brilliant as always. I love that movie. So much. I mean.... Thomas 8-) The thing still hurts of course. It hurts a lot. OH AND NOW I HAVE TONS OF NEWT FEELS TOO I WAS NOT A HAPPY PERSON.

We played this weird game. You had to do things like sit on shoes and talk about yourself in the third person and play pick a boo with people who called you by name. 

It was a good birthday.

UPDATE OF THE WEEK!!!!!!!!

I'm taking an Acting For the Camera class. 

One minute I'm like....

YAY ACTING

The next minute I'm like...

MY TEACHER IS TERRIFYING

The Acting Teacher is a little intense. And she kind of freaks me out. but I love acting and the Community College is the only place in town that I can act so I have to take her with the acting. She's a very nice person. She is just kind of an ACTING MUST BE YOUR LIFE teacher. And she doesn't give you much breathing room. You either SWIM or you SINK and there is no in between. Acting is big and intense. You had better want it, dang it!!!! YOU BLEED OR YOU LEAVE.

Yes I used this gif just for Newt. Don't judge me.

I've also been making epic videos in my new video maker and feeling excited cause you can sharpen it and brighten it and slash it and change its color and add dialogue at several points and add granite and dust and scratchy lines so it looks like an old movie and it looks SO. PERTY. I have to be careful how much time I spend on it cause I'm just SNIP - ADD VIDEO - SNIP - BRIGHTEN VIDEO....

VIDEO MAKING IS EPICNESS

I opened up Splintered Courage again and I am EDITING. (laughs crazily) I'm finishing Broken Turst also, and I have one chapter left in the Conspiracy of Thrones. It should be finished by the end of the week. I know of some people who want to read it and I'm thinking of maybe doing an auction? I don't know, I will have to see. Maybe I should try sending my books into publishers too cause I've been told they're good. Just as soon as I finish twelfth grade and past this terrifying acting class and read the six or eight books lying neglected at the bottom of my bed....

CAUSE WE'RE YOUNG AND WE'RE RECKLESS....!!!

I've started Watching Flashpoint.

GREG!!!!!!!

EDDIE!!!!!!

JULES!!!!!!

SAM!!!!!!!

SPIKE!!!!!

WORDY!!!

LOU!!!!!!!

..........

he needs more explanation points. 

LOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This show is so good on so many levels. You cry a lot but usually its not a BAD crying. The team is just so brave and kind and wonderful and what they do is so amazing and emotional you can't help but cry. It's about this... SRU Unit which is a handpicked team of elite cops that are different from any other SWAT team out there. They take on situations that have reached their peak and go in with the incentive to 'Connect. Respect. Protect." They want to help the people who are in trouble, and that includes the prosecutor. They want to talk down the Prosecutor, not kill him. They don't go lethal until absolutely necessary. They're awesome. Sometimes the stories can be really sad. Sometimes they can be really painful. But they always end hopeful. There are only a couple that are legitimately depressing, and with those you have to watch the next one to feel better. But most of the time it just gives you hope and emotional crying. It's really good. And its really clean. Super clean. The worst they get is this one kissing scene that is kind of long, but nothing happens. Its squeaky clean.

EPIC FAMILY FEELS

EPIC TEAM FEELS

EPIC BRO FEELS

EPIC BRO/SIS FEELS

EPIC OTP FEELS

SAD FEELS

BROKEN FEELS

SWEET HAPPY FEELS.

THIS IS SO GOOD! *sobs* SO SO GOOD

I love Flashpoint. As you can see.

See this post? this is why I should post more than once a week. I'm just like "HI!!! *DUMPS A BUNCH OF RANDOMNESS ON YOU* BYEEEEE!

I have a book to read and tea to drink and a cold to sooth. I also have to watch SHIELD later.

Shield.... *headdesk* Yeah that is stressing me out. So is Grimm. And I'm mad at Doctor Who. And Supernatural. (THAT SHOW IS SO DUMB) And The-One-I-Only-Watch-For-Stiles is on hiatus.

 Remind me not to watch so many shows at once. It can't be good for me.

But whatever I love them.

Watch Flashpoint.

PEACE OUT Y'ALL!!!!!!

Happy Birthday to Me! Happy Birthday to me! Happy BIRRRRTHHHDAAAY TO MEeeeEEEEE!!! Happy birthday to me!

I'm sixteen today!! Yep! The big, One Six that everyone is always telling you about. Yay!!! 

Surprisingly enough, it has been a lovely birthday, even though the great majority of my family was sick. Most of my older sisters were up and about, and all of us healthy, or semi-healthy people went to Mass, which started off the day nicely. Than we came home and spent a lovely afternoon feasting and talking about the wonders of life, the love for fictional characters and the traumatic effects of reading a book. 

What was the book of interest? That would beThe Queen of Attolia. 

Oh my gosh, that book was soooo hard to read!! See, I love Eugenides. I love, love, love Eugenides. But... I was very upset for most of the story, it was so hard! There was one point when I got so angry I whacked the book several times vehemently against the couch. Then I cried. 

source

I get very involved in my reading. 

after much consideration however, I have finally decided I did, in fact, like the book. It may take me some time to really, really, like it. It was just.... so very hurtful. But it was brilliant, and Eugenides is worth all the horrors. He is such a brilliant character! 

Aaaaaaaaand back to my birthday.....

I spent the remainder of my day being my ridiculous, Happy self because I am starting to feel well and didn't have to be super sick on my birthday, which was, you know, a big deal. My dad was kind of funny and sweet and turned on a bunch of You-are-Sixteen songs, during which I smiled awkwardly and wondered why my age was such a big deal. It was super sweet though, so I was happy. got to have a deLIcious meal and actually enjoy it, and I got to have cake and eat it with glee also. That was a big bonus. But I got really excited about my pressie. 

I got a Tea-For-One!!! You do not understand the thoughtfulness of this gift! I love tea, I have it almost every night, it is the British in me. I so excite, I was so excite, I was so excite I forgot the finer points of grammar!!! *ehem* Excited. It also goes well with my Christmas gift from my sister Mahri,  who got me a whole little coffee set with a bunch of nifty little nibblets, like cookies and chocolate. Those things also go really well with tea guys.

I then finished off my special day with a grand Christmas movie of my choice, called A Christmas Cottage. People, I had never seen this movie before, and I was not disappointed. Its about Thomas Kincaid and his first painting in his local town. It sounds really boring but its really good and, except for a few swear words, its completely clean. Oh, and Jared Padalecki is in it. Did I mention that? He's Thomas. I am unashamed to say that he is the reason the movie caught my interest, and the main reason I watched it. I'm very glad that I did, because it was thoroughly enjoyable show on the whole, and I was even crying in a few places. But yeah, he was the best part. The movie itself is really really good, but..... he's the best part. 

Unashamed. Unashamed. *grin* 

Now I have to finish this post because its getting late and I have things I want to do with the rest of my evening, like sip tea from my new tea-cup and (maybe?) watch a Doctor Who. With Amy and Rory. Tea with the Ponds. What a lovely combination. *sigh* Okay, that settles it. I'm off! I have much to accomplish and the clocks do tick! Happy Birthday to me, and to all of you a very good night! 

God Bless!
