PRIZES! The Internet is good/ ALL THE BOOKS/ TRIVIA QUESTION

Guys, I love the internet.




Last night,Dustin and I were beyond bored, as we often are, and we were had no idea what we would want to do for the night.
We asked Twitter.
BEST IDEA.
Our followers suggested a variety of things, one of them being a Blog TV show.
We Listened.
FOUR HOURS
Fun was had.
Callers called in.
Questions Answered.
Sleep Deprived.
Long story short, it gave me a positive perspective on the day I was only making worse by staying up so late. Today, I had to do a ton of homework, not only for this week, but next week as well, since next weekend, I'm going to a camp in Mississippi to help out with some technology stuff. By the way, I'm an English Education Major, and I'm currently taking 3-4 English classes. (4 being Newswriting) And for English courses in college, often times you have to read the daily assignment in order to discuss it in class. Now having all of my English classes on one day, that makes me read ALL THE BOOKS. This is fun, though, since I'm an English nerd, and I enjoy it immensely, but the problem is that it's hard for me to focus 100 % on all the long readings for all of my classes. So, I spread it out over two days. Again, long story short, I just got off of a 60hour homework/ Exam and Essay preparedness binge, and I'm really excited for tomorrow's lack of work.

TIP: To avoid procrastinating while home-working or studying, don't go on Tumblr.
BUT, not going on Tumblr during a 6 hour Homework-A-Thon leaves you with a whole lot of tumbling ("a whole lot" varying with your number of followers.) One of the tumblr posts I saw was THIS THING

I got really excited when I listened to this, and say the accompanying .gif, but I couldn't for the LIFE OF ME, remember what movie I remember this from. I've since, figured it out, but I leave it to you, to figure it out and to add it to your comment below. If you do, you'll win the SOON-TO-BE-EXISTANT-PRIZE-OF-THE-WEEK. Which, will be sent to you at an undetermined time in the near future. Talk about incentive, huh?!

Well, I repurchased Sims 3 yesterday, so I'm off to some well deserved life-guiding.

I hope all is well!

Goodnight/GoodAfternoon/GoodMorning!


P.S. (Comment- ResponceISH)

*************************************************************************************
Okay, so. This week, I'm not going to be able to fulfill my promise on posting about my top_ Fiction Characters, but I will eventually.*
Before this post ends, I'm going to tell you about how Nick gets CHEAP sushi.

About a year ago, I had sushi bindges, in which I tried ALL THE SUSHI from town. Once day, I wandered into a Chinese Buffet, grabbed a To-Go box, and I picked out various rolls. I headed to the register, wondering how much money I was about to spend. Well, the way this place charges for take out is by weighing the box, all the while keeping it closed. o_o Guys, sushi is lightweight. I barely paid $2 for the rolls, and when I would return I would come to pay $3.85 for like 20 rolls. So, tonight, in preperation for my Tennant-watching, I shall go up to that buffet LIKE. A. BOSS.

Well, that's it for today, I hope this blog has been entertaining for everyone!
See yall soon!

(I read and hug every comment)

Week 3 In which a surprise is revealed.

Well, here we are 3/52. Goodness.


I started my second semester on Wednesday. It looks to be a good half of the year. My favorite class so far is basically John Green's videos of critically analyzing novels, but for a whole semester. So, I'm pretty giddy at the thought.
Recently, Whimsy wrote a blog post completing and suggesting the challenge of listing your favorite fictional characters. One challenge that I will wait until next week to accomplish, because I feel that I need to think of my choices in great detail, so I can write them in minuscule one. Deal? Okay? Okay.

Let's see. Today is Sunday. MLKDay Eve. The day of John Green's emailing of his Zombie-Apocalypse Novella. The day my friend Dustin and I sit down to re watch The Social Network (good movie.)

This week, my schedule is.... blahblah blahblah blahblah blahblah blahblah blahblah blahblah blahblah blahblah
blahblah blahblah blahblah blahblah blahblah blahblah blahblah blahblah blahblah
blahblah blahblah blahblah blahblah blahblah blahblah blahblah blahblah. You're not listening to this, you're just skimming to see when I will reveal the surprise I promised you last week. Well, faithful readers, HERE IT IS:

First, I saw this picture on the internet:

Then, THIS happened:

Almost forgot BOW '11!

Throughout the past week, I have been pushing many a person to participate in BOW '11, and here I was, last night freaking out at three A.M. thinking that I had forgotten to blog for the week. See I was so used to the BEDA blogging schedule of Sun-Sat. But, here we are! Sunday night of the "official" Week 1 of BOW '11. Let us get this party started.

STORY TIME!

So, around four years ago, Nick discovered the amazingness that is Dr. Horrible . He showed it to friends, they liked it, and the love in their hearts grew. One friend in particular loved it so much that whenhe became a senior in High School, he tried to put on a performace of the show. But, it didn't work out. But the fire within his heart still grew, and only one year later he, alongside a theatre troop, would perfom it at a city theatre and he played the lead. I went to see it saturday night and it was amazing! I've seen it thousands of times and it was crazy funny on the stage, especially with their own daptations of the props. (Example-- The Carrier van was played by an actor in a wheelchair and the wheels were other characters. The entire scene they smiled when being saved... it was great!) <-- word jumble sorry.
The last thing that I'll say is that when Dr. Horrible is using his remote (phone) to control the van, on stage, my friend Erik, texted me the following-- "Hey! I'm texting you from the stage!" I was excite.

Okay, so I love the fact that we can post blog posts more than once a week, and I might do that soon! I start school wednesday, so we'll see how thnings go along. Also, next post I'll have a secret surprise. :D Sorry, if my blogging skills are shabby, but procrastanation leads to horrible work.

UNTIL NEXT TIME,
"Keep dancing friends, keep dancing."

The One with BOW '11

2011?! Welcome!
This is BOW '11 (Blog Once Weekly in 2011,) created by the fabulous Whimsy

So, I'll be coming at you in textual form once a week all year long. IF you wish to participate, do go read Whimsy's blog I've linked. By the look of things, this year will be VERY promising. Also, I'll use the blogging to shed light on where the heck I've been since September of 2010 for those who've already read my blog. But, to the newcomers--> Hello!

Nick's rules for BOW '11:
1. Don't Half-Arse your blog posts like some of those BEDA posts
2. The more comments you receive on your blogs, the more comments you leave on THEIR blogs

And those are my personal rules, in accordance with WHIMSY LAW:
1.) One post per week AT LEAST.

2.) A week shall be defined as Monday through Sunday.

3.) A post shall be defined as some bit of writing...just a bit.

4.) Anyone who wants to join in is MORE THAN WELCOME.


Welp, here's to a great new year *raises glass*
I shall see you next week (and for all you know it could be tomorrow!)
xD
