The Royal Wedding!

Call me a major dork, but I am so excited for the wedding this Friday. Here's why, and here's what I'm planning (and in some cases, wish I could carry out).

Here's the why. So what makes me so excited for it is that for once, there's good news that the world is buzzing about. I love the fact that we get a break from all of the bad things going on, and we get to be happy as a world community. The only harsh feelings that might be had about this wedding is the jealous girls who wanted to be the princess. But honestly, they can go try out for Disney Land. This is the stuff of fairy tails! Happy things like this come about... well, next to never. So, I'm going to take full advantage of the happiness while it lasts.

Plans that I wish happen: Where I am currently located, the Today Show, and Good Morning America 'Royal Wedding' programs start at exactly 2:00 A.M. in the morning. I will sleep as soon as I get home from school the day before the wedding, so I can wake up at 1, get ready (meaning formal dress, a cup of tea, a drink to go with jam and bread, and putting up British flags for everything from curtains, to pillows), and get out my guitar while I play some British songs... (to be determined) to pass the time. Right before it starts I will place upon my head a nice, premium, top notch, plastic crown. I will then sit upon my couch, in front of my  amazing television, and watch every single second of the program. I will be watching this with my neighbors and friends who are just as excited as I am. After the program, we will eat enormous amounts of cake, (particularly the wedding cake I made from scratch the day before, with three layers lined with roses, and covered in British frosting flags. on top will be a great big W&C. Following, we will probably do lots of shopping, come home, and watch lots of prince/princess type movies that take place in England. Notice that none of this involves school in any way shape or form.
What probably will end up happening: At best, I will wake up for 5:30 practice, assuming that we have convinced our coach to bring their laptop so we can watch the YouTube version, watch as much as we can before we have to go to school, I of course will be wearing my shoes with British flags on them (which are too small, but just too perfect for the occasion), and take some end of year testing. I will come home, not go to evening practice, and watch the rest of the program that we recorded, and eat heaps of ice cream with my friends. After which, we will watch a prince/princess type movie that takes place in England. Either way, I am super excited, and just so I can sound official or something.... "My best to the happy,  loaded, awesome, royal couple."

the wonders of book stores.

So yesterday, and the day before that, I had the opportunity of visiting book stores. There are a few types of them in this world. there are the ones that, of course, smell like new books and paper. That would be your average book store, with average books, and more often times than not, they usually have a shelf or two for the Twilight series; and then a section or two for vampire fancies that suddenly all came out right after Twilight became popular. I don't usually like these kinds of book stores, but I'm always willing to give them a chance.

Then you have your coffee book stores. On the plus side, they smell good, and it seems easier to roam through the shelves for longer periods of time. These usually contain classics, murder mysteries, and romance novels. Once again, you get your new book smell, but not as strong as the coffee. These seem to be more appealing to me, probably because of the particular crowd that accumulates there; the content, laid back, philosophical, book searchers.

However, if your on the search for a true gold mine, book wise, personally, the oldies are the way to go. By oldies, I mean the out of print and the antique. These stores could be very small, or very large. They could be very organized, or beautifully unorganized. I personally love the unorganized, because it just makes the trip that much more of an adventure. However, these are the stores where you'll find some of the greatest stories ever written. You may also come across the worst stories ever written, but we don't talk about those.

In the end though, you'll want to remember one important thing. Go into the book store looking for something specific, but nothing in particular. As another rule of thumb, plan on being there at least fifteen minutes more than you think you'll want too. And last but not least, go with a buddy, because you never know what kinds of creepers work at a book store with really tall shelves.

Doctor Who?

So this past weekend, I found an excellent time DESTROYER. And when I say DESTROYER, I mean murderer. I had to stop myself after going through five episodes... when I started watching at about... nine in the evening. It's this fantastic show about this alien guy who has a time machine, who goes around in time saving the world with his new buddy named Rose. I mean, that's all I really know so far, but it had me addicted at about episode... 2.
Now, had I never heard or seen charlieissocoollike, (Charlie McDonnell) on You tube, I would have never been interested in this fantastic show. At first, I must confess I did think he was a little bit odd for having action figures from the show, but now I understand. I also would like some... just in case someone who knows me personally is wondering what I want for my birthday..... :)
So now, I sit here, pondering Doctor Who, because I cant actually watch it. I am currently visiting my sister, who does not have Netflix... this means I have about three days to do whatever I feel like... that doesn't include Doctor Who. Oh what will I do? Without my Doctor Who? Maybe I'll buy a shoe, or two, that are new, and preferably not full of poo...I will meet a person named sue, and ride in a canoe, with my new shoe, and the canoe will go moo, and I cant think of anything else.... so TTFN, Ta ta for now. (traditional-esque Whennie the pooh farewell)

jib jib lala <-- what's that?

there are two types of people in this world, people that do, and people that enjoy watching the other people do. For instance, I am more of an observer. So this morning as I was eating my delicious cereal, I enjoyed two different awesome people. One, was the magnificent Cake Boss. This time featuring a tribal cake that was spitting fire. Now I don't know about you, but I certainly think that is worthy of loud applause. If I got that for my birthday, the only other thing I  would need would be what this other guy made.

On the other show I was watching as I refilled my bowl full of cereal, was a team of super nerd geeks (whom I love very much) who were building a sled with a jet engine. Now, there were some tiny problems with it... nothing that couldn't be fixed though. there was the problem of the engine just burning fuel, and not going anywhere... and then there was also that problem where the sled was made of wood.... but really, if you could get that thing to work, I would be your first buyer, going down the mountain at about.... 300 MPH.

Don't really want to think  about what happens when I get to the bottom though...
