Uninspiring words on life's happenings...

Hello!

Tomorrow I will be leaving for camp very bright and early in the morning. I can't decide if I want to go or if I don't, I just know there's no turning back and whether I want to or not I will be at camp Monday through Friday. Honestly, even though I am really shy, I am more worried about packing all the right stuff than the social part of this camp. I've gone through my clothes too many times just to make sure something hasn't disappeared. Paranoid, would be the perfect word for today.

I will also be moving soon after I get back. Yesterday we began emptying out our porch and our living room. I think the most bothersome thing about moving the stuff in my room, is all the books I own. Which, speaking about books, yesterday while I was putting all of my books in boxes I found out that I own ALL four of the twilight series books. I had forgotten and I was shocked and embarrassed of myself. Then I realized that, as a member of Dumbledore's Army, I had to keep my enemies closer. So it's all good...for now...

This is just an update on such happenings happening in my life...sorry for the unimaginative word choices that have been used today. All I can think about is going to check on my luggage again...

Hopefully when I get back I can write something that's inspiring and optimistic...

Paranoia like this sucks royal hippogriff,

Blogging AVPS - "Red Vines: because what the hell can't they do?"

So call me a "total" nerd (no, really do it's all good) but last night I stayed up not because of insomnia (gasp) but because I was watching "A Very Potter Sequel" (AVPS) which premiered last night on StarKidPotter's youtube channel.

After watching the "A Very Potter Musical" (AVPM) I was completely convinced that nothing, absolutely NOTHING, could be better than AVPM, I was kinda wrong. AVPM is always going to be more special to me, but AVPS is definitely up there in the awesome shelf. (Yes, I have an imaginary "awesome stuff" shelf...don't judge.)

**SPOILERS**

The characters were genius. Although I must add that it wasn't quite the same without Professor Quirrell and Voldemort. I missed them. The part where Ron and Harry met was my favorite. I found myself wanting to get in my car and drive to the nearest store to buy me some "Red Vines," because what the hell can't they do? Hermione kicked some serious butt and a drunk Snape made up for not having a drunk Voldemort! Draco, I think, had one of the major roles even though the musical is technically about Harry Freakin' Potter. A lot of secrets are revealed in the sequel, which makes the AVPM even more hilarious! The scarf of "sexual preference" made me look at my own scarfs with disdain. Because who doesn't want a scarf like Dumbledear's? There were a few times where I found myself in SUCH A RAGE! I really wanted to punch Ron (such a coward) and Draco (such a pain in the butt). From the sequel I learned that Hermione can't draw, Draco is short for a reason, Ron's hairband is more than just a hairband, Professor Umbridge has bad cell phone service, Harry Potter is Harry Freakin' Potter, and Red Vines make everything better. There are WAY more things that I could point out that were "totally awesome," but alas, there isn't enough room in this entire blog for that. Besides I've gotta go make an emergency trip to a place where Squirt and Red Vines are sold.

(Insert Professor Umbridge's hilarious laugh here),

alexthenerdette's summer 2010 media trends...teehee!

So the other day I was talking to my cat when I...

...wait, talking to my cat? That sounds insane and unprofessional. I'm gonna try this again...ahem

No! That's enough! No more life-changing epiphany moments in this blog!

Letsa talk bout something else...How about the summer media trends of yours truly? Yea? OK! So whenever I'm told I have an odd taste in music, truth be told, that's possibly the best compliment I could receive. I listen to bands a lot of people don't even know of. And it's not just music, I still read kid-fantasy books sometimes, and I'd rather watch "A Very Potter Musical" over anything else that's on T.V. I feel a certain "calling" to share these awesome bands/movies that I LOVE! Hope you give them a try. Here goes...

Bands/Musicians:

Two Door Cinema - they have this catchy electropop dancy sound check out their song "Eat That Up, It's Good For You"

Andrew Belle - this guy is becoming more well known, but he's pretty awesome especially his song "Static Waves" featuring Katie Herzig.

Ludovico Einaudi - he's an Italian pianist that puts all of his emotions so perfectly into his music...beautiful!

PlayRadioPlay - their song "I'm a Pirate, You're the Princess" is the best!

Patrick Watson - his songs got me through tough times, so they might sound depressing, but in my opinion they are Magnifique!

Musicals:

"A Very Potter Musical" and "A Very Potter Sequel" - Perfect for Harry Potter fans. One word, "Hilarious!" (can be found on StarkidPotter's youtube channel)

Movies:

"A Beautiful Mind" - it's about John Nash, a Nobel Prize winner with schizophrenia. Absolutely genius!

Youtube sensations-that-are-hilarious-and-brilliant-and-"excellent"...teehee!

Nigahiga - The "Skitzo's" this guy creates are pointless but hilarious

Charlieissocoollike - "an english teen with a youtube who likes your face"...enough said

Nerimon - vlogs himself reading twilight and then satirizes it a bit....once again, enough said. Oh, he also has cool cards...find out for yourself.

That's it for now! And *heavy sigh* I guess if you insist I might share some of the deep conversations I have with my cat...promise...

...not really. TeeHee!

p.s. if you watch NigaHiga you'll get the real meaning of "TeeHee."

"the insomniac"

I wish I had the emotional range of a teaspoon...

There is something I must confess as a fellow insomniac. You see, there's a secret. It's a deep dark unknown-ish type secret. There are those nights where the mind may wander to the most wonderful epiphany. And then there are those nights where the insomnia is caused by worries, and distress, and a mellow kind of sadness with a mixture of anger. What is even worse is feeling like this without a real rational reason. Well...it is a rational reason, but it's more me being over-analytical about stuff. What makes it worse is that I hate feeling all of this for just one person...it's like letting my guard down but not really because this is my own personal battle. The thing is I'm afraid of my own feelings. It completely freaks me out! This reminds me of a scene in Harry Potter after Hermione tells Harry and Ron about her day:

A slightly stunned silence greeted the end of this speech, then Ron said, "One person can't feel all that at once, they'd explode."

"Just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean we all have," said Hermione nastily, picking up her quill again.

Wouldn't it be better if you could choose to NOT have feelings? To not care about certain people so much? To just go through life without emotionful...erm...blogs?

Oh, this is definitely a moo point. And about the deep, dark, and unknownish secret...yeahhh...there isn't one. It was just a lame attempt to introduce the lamest blog I've ever written, which then turned into a rant. But hey, it's just a moo perspective. (Is that getting old? Good!)

Yea I hope these "feelings" go away too,

"the insomniac

"Insomniatic hyperactivity fueled by the addicting smell of rain but...sshhhhh!"

Okaaaay! So when the insomnia hits there's nothing else to do but blog about it!

...wait...what?

Actually there many other options such as...

such as...knitting a scarf for...your kitten?

Nope I've got nothing. It could be because my mind is hard-core hyperactive right now. Not the "Hey let's go sky diving hyper," but more like the "I have a zillion thoughts zooming through my head hey I just used two words that begin with the letter z," kind of hyper. Which speaking of z, I haven't been to the zoo for years...I should really go...just because.

And it could go on. Thankfully enough I have the ability to control myself enough to switch trains of thought. It's quite handy. Now keep in mind whatever mumbo jumbo is being written is under the influence of insomnia, an amazing thunderstorm, and the thought of zucchini's. So there ya have it, my inspiration for these wise words of wise wisdom.

It is currently 1:50 A.M. and after about an hour of constant rumbles of thunder and some pretty windy winds it's finally raining. I can hear the droplets of water crisply pelting against my window. Another rumble of thunder and a flash of lightning. BOOM! Yep I saw it coming...didn't even jump...nope. Okay now it's really raining. I can hear it attacking my window. Hey rain, have some compassion eh? Anyway I really want to go open my window and let the fresh scent of moistened soil reach my nose.

Mmmmhmm... Now that's exactly what I'm talking about! Oh yea me and Kansas weather...yea we're pretty much like this &. BOOM! Well there goes another one. Except this thunderous sound was accompanied by the frightful shivering of my lamp and other such things resting on my nightstand. Ah lovely...

And hopefully by now you've figured out my signature. ---> Alex "the insomniac"

You see, it's like two in the morning sometimes and I'm still tossing and turning. So I've stopped fighting it and embraced my new summer lifestyle. Insomnia. Sounds mysterious and dark and, like, sleepless...right? Yeahhhh....

Well I could keep going so I should just force myself to end this now and for all...It's been great, hope this was enjoyable and if not keep in mind it's just a moo perspective! (flavored with insomniatic hyperactivity fueled by the addicting smell of rain but...sshhhhh!)

OH, and one last thing that I've been meaning to type since the whole letter "z" thing. Zucchini! Yep there's another one. Hey, I haven't had zucchini in almost, like, forever so I should definitely eat some. Oh wait...I'm allergic...maybe that's why...Ohhh....the world makes sense now....

Mmmkay that was pointless, enjoy your cup of coffee! Haha, geddit? No? Psht, tough crowd...

Yours sleeplessly,

Life-ish related thoughts...

Greetings!

I have come to an unbearably anguishing conclusion about...life. I. Miss. School. I know that when school actually begins I will find myself regretting those said words, but it's senior year and I'm excited and so full of fear that I can't take it anymore. I just want to get it over with.

Lately I've been busy around the house since we are moving and such. Did I forget to mention that before? Oops sorry! I'm moving! And just adding to the randomness, I have decided that my new room will be painted with both black and lime green walls. I plan on no longer thinking about it so I don't change my mind.

I also feel the need to list a few things that need to find the exit door of my life:

- ACT study book

- allergies

- facebook

- dentist appointments

- uncooperative technology

I apologize for the life-ish related thoughts but lately I've been reflecting a lot on ... life. Okay this is awful but, hey, it's just a moo perspective!

'the insomniac'

Inspiration? Sure, let's go with that...

Hello there!

So I just, out of the blue, decided to start a blog. I'm not sure why exactly but I thought I'd share how my day went and how it might have been an inspiration for this.

It is July 7th. You could say it's the middle of summer...kind of. And yet it was a cloudy/rainy/chilly day. Usually I find cloudy days delightful and cheery, BUT today was just. plain. horrible. So what did I do to make it better?

That's right. Harry Potter + guitar + the great outdoors = sweet excellence!

Inspiration? Well it was an odd day, so sure let's go with that...

So here I am sitting in front of my laptop trying to decipher my thoughts. Ah...and so begins my moo perspective on life and my somewhat mundane existence.
