Yaaay, it's a week into BEDA already! :D
Anyways this week's a four day week and next week's 3 1/2 days, so I'm really happy! :D
I love April, so many days off and my school does culture fest! :D
Which is always fun. :)
And it's almost time to vote for White Pine, right now I'm reading my fifth book so as long as I finish this in like 2 weeks I can vote. :)
Honestly, this year's books didn't seem all that great. Like I mentioned Little Brother was awesome! It exceeded all my expectations. This book I'm reading now seems okay, but not amazing.
omgsh, just found out where the drafts go if i don't publish them. this can come in handy. :P

OMG I MISSED ONE!
Kay, so I kinda forgot to do a BEDA post yesterday. It's not like anybody reads this so it doesn't really matter. However, to make it up I will make two posts today.
Gah! My hands are freezing, I can barely type. D:
So this post shall be about yesterday and the other post shall be about today. I could just combine them, but then how will I make up for yesterday? :P
I want 30 posts in April! :D
So, yesterday was pretty uninteresting. There was some very unorganized stuff that I was extremely angry about, but it's no longer my problem, so whatever.
Other than that I got a little bit of homework, which I finished while my friend was over so I could just go on the computer and read for the rest of the evening, which is great for me.
So, yes, forgetting yesterday is made worse by the fact that I had extra time on the computer.
I actually did remember, but I was too lazy to turn the computer back on at that point just to blog. :P

Day 5: Books! :D
Kay so it's the fifth day of BEDA and I really don't have much to write about. Today was a pretty good day, I read a lot of my book and I think I can actually finish it before it's due, which would make me happy cause I still have to read another book to be able to vote for White Pine. And voting's on the 21st I think.
But the book I'm reading is awesome. It's called Little Brother and it's by Cory Doctorow. Pretty much the only reason I took this out and not some shorter book out of the 10 that are nominated for White Pine is cause there is a recommendation by Scott Westerfeld on the cover. :)
I won't bother trying to describe what it's about cause I fail at that kind of stuff so here's a link that'll do it for me: http://craphound.com/littlebrother/about/
That description is the exact same that's on the book and it was the first site that came up on Google. :)
I have far too many books to read. D: (This may actually be a good thing, I just have no time.)
Thank goodness I don't have english this semester or it would be horrible.
Damn, I had something else that I meant to say, but I completely forgot. D:
Edit: I remembered! It was that my goal is to read more BEDA blogs and possibly get to know some new people! :D
Also four day weekend next week! :D:D:D:D:D
And the time thing is not right for me on blogger. It's a few hours behind my actual time.
Anybody know how to fix this??

Day 4:
So I ended up getting home around 1 am last night. I spent like 2 hours sleeping on my friends couch while we waited for our moms to return. :P
But overall it was fun. :)
Not really sure what to talk about since I did pretty much nothing all day.
Something I'm realizing more and more everyday is that nobody ever has to be alone in anything. There will always be someone there for you and if you're really lucky you won't be able to push them away. Whatever your excuse is, you don't want anybody to suffer with you, they don't wanna hear about this, they've got problems of their own, I can do this on my own, etc. Whatever it is, they'll be there. And I'm so glad that I have people like that in my life. They've made everything so much easier for me and I don't know what I would have done if they weren't there. But, what I was getting to before was that everything's a lot harder if you don't let those people in and share what's going on. Sometimes even having someone there that will listen is good enough to ease the burden.
On to my next point. There is someone else out there who is going through the same thing as you, or someone that has gone through the same thing as you. Unless of course you have an extremely unique disease that nobody else does, then you are the only person who's gone/going through that. But the point is if you really feel like nobody understands you chances are that somebody you know has gone through the same thing you're going through. Or is going through that now. You don't have to be alone. Ever. And nobody should have to.
I guess most of this came from the TWLOHA video that's up on their youtube. And what Jamie talks about is how people are meant to be around other people. We are social creatures and solitude just isn't for us. We need people to share our grief with, and we also need people to share our happiness with becuase that's just as important. Which is something else, just because someone is going through a hard time doesn't mean that the happy things shouldn't be held important. That's something I've learned over the past year. Because ignoring your acclomplishments or stuff that makes you happy in a time of sadness will make that time a LOT worse. Obviously it's not gonna be as great as it should be, but that doesn't mean that it should mean nothing.
Right so TWLOHA is To Write Love On Her Arms and I think what they're doing is great. Getting the message out that every life is worth saving and that every story deserves to be heard. And in my opinion a lot of people keep to themselves because they're scared to admit that they're imperfect. I know that everybody knows nobody's perfect, but when somebody thinks that there is something really wrong with them, or that they should feel a certain way, they're really not going to want to talk about that. But keeping things to yourself is a lot more destructive and in the end it's going to be way worse.
By this I don't mean tell everybody, but tell somebody you trust. Somebody that will be able to help you, or just somebody that will listen.
Not really sure if I got what I meant to say across with this message, but yeah, I guess I've just been thinking about stuff :P
And I'm there for anybody who needs me. :)
That's all until tomorrow!

Rain!
It's been raining all day and I love it! :D It's dark and cold outside, but it's raining so that makes me happy. :) It's perfect weather to curl up in bed or on a couch, or wherever in your house with book and just spend hours reading or doing whatever you love indoors. Another great thing to do it get like hot chocolate or something and get the fireplace going. Which reminds me I love Second Cup. First of all it smells like coffee in there :P and then they have awesome food and drinks. There white hot chocolate it AWESOME! And it's sooo nice in there. Especially the seats by the fire place. Those are the best! Pricier than Tim Hortons, but I still love him. Tim Hortons is good too. I love both. :P
Surprisingly I don't have much homework this weekend except for bio. So I'm going to try and get everything done as soon as possible so I can just relax the rest of the weekend. Possible get some cleaning done in my room. Prolly won't happy, but you never know. I REALLY need to clean my room.
I am currently eating leftover hallowe'en candy. :) You know those hard candies that are strawberry flavoured and come wrapped as a strawberry?? Yeah that kind is like all I have left. Plus a couple lollipops and rockets. But yeah when we went trick-or-treating there was a bunch of us that put our candy together cause we were also going around collecting canned food for trick or food, which something we did with a club at our school that's run by my friend. Anyways we all put our candy together then split it and like you got more of your faves and stuff. Well, apparently no one likes the strawberry candies so I got all of then and I still have a bunch left. And I have no more time cause I have to go to a family friend's house now, but there may be a longer blog tomorrow :P
Bye until then.

Day Two of Beda :D
So, this is kinda late again, sorry. I was busy again todaaay.
My friend's surprise birthday thing was awesome. It was just 4 of us and he loved it, he totally didn't know we were doing this.
And seeing him so happy made me happy as well. :)
So, today was a good day.
Watched Twilight again. :P
The more I think about it, the more I realize how ridiculous it all is! D:
But I really liked The Host, it was soooo good!
Much better than Twilight, I recommend that everyone should read it! :D
Uhhh, there really isn't much else to say for now I guess, but tomorrow I am going to a family friend's house and that shall be fun as well.
Gah, still have some physics homework left to do, but tomorrow is a work period, so it should be fine :)
And that's all for now, for anybody who actually reads this.
Bye until tomorrow.

I didn't forget!
Really, I didn't. I was just busy. :)
Cause I got home at like 4:15 got myself a snack, practised guitar, went to my lesson, went to dollar store, went to a friend's house, got home, ate dinner, then Lie To Me was on and then Bones and then my computer took forever to start.
Which means I didn't forget about BEDA on the first day. :)
Yes, so I really don't know what else to blog about.
I ended up walking to the mall with my friend after school cause my brother brought waaay to many people in the car and we decided the exercise would be good. What we didn't realize is that we haven't exercised in a very, very long time so we were dead tired by the time we got home.
And I've realized why I don't go to the mall very often. I am extremely tempted to by extremely useless stuff. Kay so a lot of it's not useless, it's just stuff that I don't need.
There were books on sale! But I managed to pull myself away and spend the money on my other friend's present like I was supposed to. :P
And there were PEEPS!
Which I have never eaten, but I am determined to eat the this year.
Soon.
Hopefully.
:)
But yeah uhh Happy April Fool's Day. Nobody actually played a prank on me and I haven't heard of any particularly good pranks, so for April 1st it's actually been pretty dull.
That's all I have to say for now. Sorry for the amount of uninteresting stuff in this blog. Maybe there'll be something better tomorrow after we throw our friend a small surprise birthday party. :)
