Today, I came up with the idea to explain my day with links. I'm browsing through my history right now, and I'm going to put down the websites I went to down below, mostly in order, to sort of give you an understanding of my day, and to perhaps show you how much the internet is ingrained in my life.

Now obviously, this isn't everything I've been on up to this point, but there are the major bullets of what I've done so far today, and excluding the fact that I walked my dog today (which I don't normally do), everything I did has been represented in my internet history. So if you really wanna figure someone out, get onto their history.
In other news, last night after I was doing my slave labor I wrote 1,500 words of the original story that I've been working on. And I think I got more backstory to my main characters by just writing instead of planning. I mean, the planning is good, because I have an idea of where things are going, which I've never had before, but I could never get a clear picture of the first girl I was writing about. I sent the story off to my friend kat to read, and she got through the first page out of four last night, so I dunno if she's finished it, but I'm excited to hear what she says.
Also, I would like to defend some of the things Courtney said about me. I mean, most of what she said was quite wonderful, I particularly enjoyed the Gilmore Girls comparison, because I never thought of my talking speed that way. But, I would like clarify, that 1) I was thinking grade when I said school, and 2) The slappy was me being so tired that I didn't realized I'd slurred out that instead of slap happy. However, I'm quite glad for it, as it is now a part of my regular vocabulary.
I'm going to go, because I have more friends to watch and neopoints to earn. (And starting tomorrow, homework to do [I'm quite serious, I've got less than a week!])

PS: If you can, please comment on the post from yesterday, or Courtney's Hawaiian Outcasts post from yesterday and tell her that she needs to start her own blog. I want to see what she says when she isn't directly talking to me. Thank you!

About Jess the Nerdfighting Pumpkin
Hello,
I am one of Jess's best friends and today she asked me to write on her blog today, while she doing slave work, aka cleaning and organizing her room. I am going to attempt to explain a little bit about my friend.
I first saw Jess in 8th grade during band class in the middle of the school year when our band teacher introduced a new tuba player who was female and had an odd name. I later realized that she was also put into my algebra class. Apparently Jess had skipped a grade in the middle of the year. She became friends with one of my friends and was often seen in our group. I didnt really know her very well that first year. I had thought that she was a little weird as she hardly ever talked and when she did it was about this strange thing called fanfiction.
We became closer friends in the summer between middle school and high school. We, along with our friend Ashley, took summer PE so that we wouldn't have to do it during the school year and we could take an extra course. So that summer we bonded over perverted jokes, book conversations, card games such as spoons, and marching band practice.
In ninth grade we had our geometry and english classes, we went to the midnight premiere of Breaking Dawn, both found the book to be a severe disappointment, went to go see Twilight, got pissed when the Half Blood Prince release date was moved from November to July, and by Christmas she had me addicted to fanfiction just as much as she was.
In tenth grade we had band, english, algebra 2, and AP US History together and we sat next together in most of them. It was a pretty great year until i moved in the middle of march. So in remedy of me moving we started the Hawaiian Outcast blog.
Any way, Jessamyn, though she has a dark hair color, can be very blonde sometimes. Almost as blonde as me, which is saying something cos that is my natural hair color and people tell me that it suits my personality. My favorite Jess blonde stories are...
~ In ninth grade she was talking to our friend Kat and told her that she was always going to be the youngest person in the school, seeing as she skipped a year ahead, Kat said in reply, " Jessamyn, we are getting new freshmen next year.
~ One day Jess and I went shopping at this mall in Honolulu. We went to look at one of the maps they had and Jessamyn searched the map with a confused look on her face. She asked out loud where the english was. I had to explain that she picked up the Japanese map.
~ This one i dont know if it was just Jess being blonde or the fact that she was sleep deprived but one time while i was spending the night at her house we both hadnt slept well the night before and were hyper and laughing for no apparent reason. Jessamyn informed me that she was "slappy" instead of saying she was slaphappy.
Jessamyn is also pretty quickwitted and she talkes really fast, she could have been on gilmore girls. She's also very random as you can tell by reading her blog, i mean who else but a random person could come up with the crazy cat lady story. We were going to write a fanfiction together, with her writing the first chapter then i the second and so on and so forth, but she never finished the first chapter. I asked her when she was going to finish it and in that gilmore fast talk she told me that she would finish it in ten years and then send it through the mail and that when i would receive it i would look at it and wonder, Dude who get's mail anymore.
Well that's all folks

Procrastination Station
I made a video while making mac and cheese for my collab blog with my friend Courtney. I can quite easily say that it is the most neurotic I've ever come off in a video. If only it was the truth for real life *sigh*
I have the following projects that I have to get done in a week, or planned on getting done in a week, that quite obviously show, I have no sense of how much time is in a week.
Now, after that spiel, you'd think I'd be off to do some real work. But I plan on playing some neopets until I can watch more friends. I'll work on things tomorrow...

PS: A great quote from a great author: "I love deadlines. I love the whooshing sound they make as they pass by"... Perhaps finishing Hitchhiker should also have been something on my procrastination list.

- Clean up my room (ie take everything out of room, organize and bring back into room after moving furniture).
- Organize my books (for my sanity, because no matter what, they have to end up on the shelves)
- Read two books for English, then write an essay and answer some questions
- Read a chapter of AP Euro, answer questions, do timeline, and maybe essay
- Work on Ella
- Work on original story
- Earn neopoints
- Watch youtube
- Watch Friends
- Have phone convos with friends that last about 2 hours
- Sleep in until 2 (although courtney has thankfully prevented this frequently by calling me at about 11:30 every day)
Now, after that spiel, you'd think I'd be off to do some real work. But I plan on playing some neopets until I can watch more friends. I'll work on things tomorrow...

Not so good day, but maybe skype convo will cheer it up
So apparently yesterday WAS the day for writing. Just not the day for writing my original story. I ended up writing the prequel to a Fringe story I've had in my head for a while. So now I've ended up roping myself into that (because now that it's started the plot bunnies are multiplying like... bunnies).
I can honestly say that I really don't want to be writing a blog right now. Normally I sit down, and I have something that I really want to say, or I can talk about how I had a good day goofing off. But today I just dealt with some things that have been piling up. Namely: my room. And also some emotional distress I'm currently in. It's always fun to cry and scream at things that you really wish you didn't have to be putting away and could magically put themselves away. Oh, and then my desk can't fit in my room. But it's ok, since I didn't use it much, preferring my bed or the couch. And while my desk can't fit in here, another bookshelf can, so I will hopefully have space for all of my books. Or at the very least be able to put the stuff that was on my desk somewhere instead of having to find room for a hundred different coloring utensils (among other things) in her office.
So I'm going to go, because I've discovered just how vast the shipping war is for iCarly fans, and how Dan Schneider fuels it (thank you tv tropes!). I also need to finish up rewriting my woefully outdated fanfiction profile before a skype call with a friend tonight.
Hope your day was better than mine!
~Jess the Nerdfighting BandGeek
PS: I commented back you guys who commented yesterday, and will probably do so again for other comments, so check for that!
PPS: I just remembered something else that's making my day suck, my mom broke the temp knob on our oven, so that means I am basically stuck with leftovers and mac and cheese until we replace it, and also that I didn't get to have my favorite cheesy potatoes for dinner =/

My room, writing, and cats.
I think my chances are extremely good to get out of working on my room today. I know that my mom was up earlier, but she's asleep again, and when she naps, it's for about three hours. And usually when she sleeps all day she sleeps all day the next day. So yay for avoiding cleaning my room!
Today might be a writing day. I mean, I want it to be a writing day, but it does not feel like a writing day. Even if my mom sleeps all day and never leaves her room, I'll still have that issue of not having the house to myself. I don't know why that's an issue, but it means that if I were to ever become a writer (highly unlikely, being a band geek way more than a writing person), I would have to get an apartment all to myself and only go outside on special occasions once a week, that will be known as Jewel Osco/Borders/Target day. I will become reclusive, begining to avoid all phone contact with my friends. Soon after will be facebook. And before you know it, I won't be on the internet. Then I will get a cat. Just because it's cute and some lady had them outside Target on my special day, and I thought "hey, why not?" Before we know it though, I will get another one, because if one is cute, then two will be cute, and then they can be friends while I work. Then I get another cat, because sometimes the two cats get annoyed with each other and need someone else to hang out with. Then I get a fourth cat, because if two of the cats are hanging out, then one always gets left out, and that's not fair. Then a cat get's pregnant. I abandon my writing duties for a little to take care of the cat. Then I have four new cats that I can't bare to give to anyone else. Then another cat gets pregnant. Before we know it, I have abandoned my writing duties completely and become a crazy cat lady.
The lesson of this story is that there is a good chance for me becoming a crazy cat lady, so know what you're getting into now my friends.
In the meantime though, I'm going to go play some neopets so that I can save up to 10,000,000 neopoints, get the highest level bank account that gives you 12.5% interest, and live off of my interest on neopets for the rest of my life. (In neopet land obviously!)
Perhaps I'm a bit obsessive?

Le Z day
Today has been very light and breezy. Tomorrow will not be, because my mother is making me work on my room. And there seemed to be some finality in her voice when she made that statement, so I guess I'm doing it. But at least today, I got to laze around for a while, play some neopets, watch some friends, catch up on fringe spoilers, and watch an episode of iCarly.
My friend also failed on her end of our blog together, so I am trying to figure out if I'm giving her a second punishment in addition to the one she has, or not do so out of the kindness of my heart, and because if she's late on one punishment I can only imagine how late she'll be on two.
Jumping around a bit, but do any of you watch fringe? I'm slightly obsessive by this point. Of course, this is on a scale of nothing to Harry Potter level obsession, so I'm probably much farther in then one can imagine. I keep trying to get people to watch it, but it never works out.
Jumping around some more, I am thinking now if I can try to get out of putting together my room by working on my homework... Alas, we may never know.
See you tomorrow for more BEDA!

Two Big Days for News
So my friend stayed over last night, which was really nice, because I haven't really hung out with people much, and I'd been trying to get to spend time with her or Maddy for a while, but both were always busy. So I had a really great time watching friends, fringe, psych, spongebob, and iCarly. And playing puzzle pirates, and neopets, and her website that's similar to neopets. So it was all really great, and now she's on the train heading home.
Big two days for news though! First, did you hear about the crash with the busses and trucks? It's crazy to think I was on a band trip three days ago riding home, and we didn't crash, but the band kids from St. Louis did. And Kagen (probably now how her name is spelled) made it onto the supreme court. Emma Watson got a pixie hair cut, that I'm entirely unsure how I feel about. And of course, the most important is about California!
As a bisexual I am very much for gay marriage. So I'm really excited about California. I'm usually really excited when places legalize gay marriage (I mean, I was really happy about Argentina, and I'm not even sure I plan to go there ever in my life). And California is currently at appellate, and I am very sure this will make it to the supreme court. This basically means, that there is a good chance that because of California, the whole U.S. could be legalizing gay marriage soon! And I know some people don't agree with this (I even found out today that at least when I was younger, my dad didn't approve of it, and one of my friends posted a frowny face when I posted my excitement on facebook), because of their personal beliefs, and ideals. I completely respect your right to your opinions. But this is very important to me, and I will be so glad when I find someone, no matter what gender, and know I can marry them.
Alrighty, that's most of what I had to say today. Tomorrow will definitely be less big juicy in topics, I just thought that these two days have been insane for news, and 2/4 things that I talked about today will be another thing for future APUSH students to cram into their brains.
Gonna go watch some more Friends.

PS: I totally started tearing up when I wrote the third paragraph... Just thought y'all should know about my embarassment!
