LeNerd Update

First of all, I apologize for my extensive leave of absence. My only excuse for not posting in, like, forever is MIDDLE SCHOOL, which I think is a pretty good excuse as they go.
So an update on my life:
The Council is coming along wonderfully. I'm an extra in a almost-all cast scene, bringing my line count to a grand total of 13. Pretty sure I broke some personal records here. My main scene as Condor has seriously amazing special effects by our soundies and light crew, and my cheap feather boas that shed whenever I move are kind of awesome in it. I have mastered the art of saying "ow" believably thanks to a few hours of rehearsing my lines and snapping hair bands on my wrist. By the end of it I looked pretty depressed, I'm sure, but hey, anything for the show. Our first performance is on Wednesday for the sixlets at school and yeah, I'm pretty excited. (Stay tuned this week for a clip of the show)
Halloween was also kind of awesome. I decided upon the Corpse Bride (sorry, voters!!!) and bought a wedding dress from Goodwill. Wow, that sounds lame. Caribou made my veil (awww) and we destroyed the dress slightly with scissors so yeah, it worked. I took Bear and Mallow and the Youngling trick or treating too. Bear was Cinderella (although she wanted very desperately to be a fairy again) and Mallow was a dinosaur and oh my Thor they were adorable. Unfortunately the first house we went to was by far the scariest, so Mallow kind of lost it everytime we went up to a house. I also went Goth at school this week (complete with eye makeup) which was pretty fun.

Also I have a new obsession. Like a serious, burning, fiery purple passion of love obsession. Like a scarily strong, possibly slightly unhealthy obsession. With

So that makes life that much awesomer. AREN'T THEY MARVELOUS???? (See what I did there? Ha ha...) My friend Marvel introduced me to the awesomeness with her amazing comics that were originally for her brother but have since become my personal obsession. The art is fantastic and she comes up with the storyboard herself, which ordinarily would mean the plot isn't good but in this case it's awesome beyond belief. Anyways, last weekend I watched Captain America (when I should've been doing my homework) and then Thor (when I should've been monitoring the Youngling) and then the absolutely completely unbelievably amazing The Avengers. So yeah, I kind of love life right now.

So that's about it. I guess I'm boringer than I thought.

 

May the Force be ever in your favor (Please see side bar to help me with a new closing!),

Writer's Great Wall of China (and the lovely side effects)

Part of being able to fancy yourself a writer is being able to accurately diagnose yourself with Writer's Block. I'm far past the point of Writer's Block now. It's fast becoming Writer's Great Wall of China.
*sigh*.
This is a bit of a problem as I went through two whole half novels last year (rough draft, mind you, and one was in verse. Neither were even close to decent.) and now cannot even come up with an acceptable plot line. It's incredibly discouraging and, most unfortunately, lasts for long periods of time.
But in the mean time, I've been spending the time that I used to use to write wasting my life on the Internet.
Today I used it to see if WebMD diagnoses Writer's Block. My symptoms were as follow:

• Headaches
• Binge eating (okay, not really, but I do get hungry when I'm bored)
• Decreased school performence
• Dizziness (but that might have something to do with the fact that I sleep, like, seven hours a day. *sigh*)
• Fatigue (see above)
• Food cravings
• Hunger (this is getting redundent)
• Short Attention Span
• Socially withdrawed (that one's just my nerdiness kicking in)

So I most likely have viral syndrome, but there's also a possibility I have anorexia, mumps, diabetes, schizophrenia, tuberculosis, pregnancy or Mad Cow Disease. So. There's the undying reliablity of the Internet for ya.
I also spent two hours reading and rereading and having the depressing little voice that comes with the software read my science textbook- which, I might add, is 10th grade biology. Aw yeah. Unfortunately I understood about 3% of it, and that was only because I decided to compare the structures of cells to Jell-O. Even with that ground-breaking analogy, I failed to grasp the subject. So if anyone out there has read and understood Chapter 3 of the Holt & McDougal Biology textbook, my email is on the side bar.
On a happier note, my grandparents, who have season tickets to my utterly favorite theater, cannot use their tickets to Billy Elliot tonight so GUESS WHO'S GOING TO A MUSICAL TONIGHT?!?!?! Yeeeeesssssssssssssss! I've already seen the play with my cousin and it's pretty Wooking epyktastical. So. Am I psyched out of my mind? Yes.
In (honors) LA, we are reading The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt, and it's rather awesome. We are doing a whole load of Shakespeare stuff with it and IT IS LIKE THE ONLY THING IN THESE CLASSES THAT I UNDERSTAND. Kewally enough, I am the only one in my class who fully gets it, which is probably because I'm the only one dorky enough to worship Shakespeare. Zack, Kiki, Isaac and I (plus a few other guys) are working in a middle school production of Hamlet, which is my mass favorite play EVER, and guess who is Ophelia.
Yes.
You're talking to her.
Kiki's in charge of hair and makeup and she thinks I would portray my character better if I dyed my hair the same color as hers (i.e. pink), which has created some debate on the set. (To see the issue's first mentioning, check out the most recent comments in the NIKI Book tab.) Make sure you vote on the newest poll to help us settle this dispute!!!
Lastly, I have rediscoverd kpop. And yes, I am obsessed. (Specifically with G-Dragon from BigBang and 2NE1.) It's just. So. Fantastic.
So. That's about it. Time to try to understand the moucular buildup of cells.
Oh yeah, congradulations to the ever amazing L.S. Tredom on KidPub, who is currently celebrating his SECOND YEARAVERSARY!!!!! YEAH!!!! Happy yearaversary, dude. We all love ya. (The phenomenalness begins here)

May the Force be ever in your favor,

Psychedelic, Baby

 

I have developed a particular fondness for brightly colored hair.

The above picture is me in five years. (Yeah right; like my mom would let me do that.)

This is me now.
Well, as drawn by a KidPubbian friend. Unfortunately, it looks nothing like the real me. (Thanks to Calla for the AWESOME picture!!!)

In honest reality, this is me now. Yeah. (Nice picture, no? It's all lovely and abstract) Thankfully, I do have my cheap Claire's clip-in streaks, although the pink one got kinda frizzy at the bottom.
Yesterday it was my Grandma's birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GRANDMA!), and our whole family was over there last night. I was carrying some cupcakes outside when my ADORABLE four year old cousin noticed that my hair was, in fact, glowing.
The streaks are psychedelic.
OH. MY. WOOKING. YODA.
I have never felt cooler. Like, ever.
On a slightly different note, I'd like to inform you all that the 2012 LeNerd Bedroom Resdesigning has begun. My room, as of now, is soft pink with this velvet coating on it. Cute for a little kid, but not for me. Ideally, it will be neon green on one wall, neon pink on another, cork board on yet another and chalkboard pain on the last one. As long as we're talking about things that will never happen as long as my mom is supervising this, I'd also like a red door, hard wood floors and more bookshelves. (My Star Wars novels are taking up a lot of space.)
In reality, it will probably end up being one {neon} color, the same white carpet and a normal door. I'm planning on completely covering one wall with posters and pictures, but other than that, my ideal room is definitely not gonna happen.
However, I did win on the ideal bed. It's actually just two mattresses stacked on the floor, but I think it's mass awesome. I'm looking for the perfect blanket and sheets still (hopefully a black comforter cover with pink sheets), but we're halfway there.
I also rearranged my dressers so that they're on either side of the bed. They are wildly unmatching, but they both kinda match the bookshelves that I have stacked on top of them. Unfortunately, the bookshelves are not as big as I thought they would be, so I need more of them.
Here's the top yea's and nay's of my current room:

Cool but slightly out of place comforter cover- Nay.

Holographic trash can- Yae.

Crowded Star Wars novels- Nay. Star Wars novels themselves- Yae.

Bookshelves (organized by author, if I might add)- Yae.

Little kid-y pink walls- Nay.

Abraham Lincoln in Jamaican hat and dreds- YAE.


May the Force be ever in your favor.

So this blog isn't supposed to be a stereotypical blog that trashes on fellow Earthlings slightly nonstop, cuz I don't like to think of myself as terribly stereotypical. (Although, look at the title... Ha ha...) To be perfectly honest, the exact purpose of this blog is not entirely clear to me yet, but the Force shall guide me through it. Mwaha.

I'm gonna end this post here before I start rambling and utterly bore you to death, which would be unfortunate as you are so far my only viewers. I will TRY to post every day, but as I am a middle schooler, that might turn into significantly less. Bear with me. :D

May the Force be ever in your favor, Earthlings, Martians and Star Wars Galatians.
