We're re-watching "Victory of the Daleks" right now because my dad didn't watch it with us yesterday. I've been trying to work on my novel today, but I thought while we're in the Who mode, I might as well tell you, my lovely blog readers, about my fun new project.
My sister, Rachel, and I have long been talking about starting a Time Lord Rock (aka trock) band, and we've finally done it. We're called Time Children, and we've started to do this absolutely insane thing where we both write a song every week about the current episode. Since we're doing one each, that means at the end of this series we'll have twenty-six songs between us. TWENTY-SIX! I'm not sure if that's going to be one album or two, because half of our songs are short little silly ones, and half are longer, more serious, full-length songs. For example, I wrote "Fish Custard" about the first episode, and that's a silly one that's less than a minute long. Then, after the second episode, I wrote "Like a Miracle", which is a darker song and more likely to be closer to 3 minutes. I wrote a song about the new Daleks today, but that one doesn't have a name yet. So we'll see about the albums.
And here they are! The multi-colored Daleks of the new age! They are freakishly tall and have bottom ends like bumper cars.
I like them. In a weird way.
Anyway, one of the BEST parts of this song project, is that our plan is to release both songs each week, one on the Myspace and one as a music video on one of our YouTube channels. We're hoping to release each music video the Saturday after the episode airs on BBC America, before the new one premieres. Starting, probably, with "Fish Custard", which you can already listen to on our Myspace.
Anyway, that's all I have to tell you right now. I really hope you'll check it out and support my music. :D
See you soon!

Frenzies, Vlogging and the ER
One of the reasons I've been pretty absent around here is because I've begun keeping a pen-and-paper journal, which I haven't done since I was about fourteen, and is actually really nice. Because of that, though, I feel less of a need to write here, which...isn't so nice.
I'm also doing VEDA and Script Frenzy AND working on my novel because I am INSANE. And tomorrow is Easter Sunday, and I must be up early to sing in the choir at both services at my church, so this will be short.
I've had one blog-worthy experience lately, and I want to share it with you. For the first time in my life, I took someone to the Emergency Room.
I was hanging out with my friend Jessica and my friend Catalina and my sister Rachel, and Jessica had some sort of allergic reaction to something. We called my dad, who is a doctor, and he told us to just chill with her and she should be okay, but if she started to have trouble breathing, we had to take her to the ER. Well, a while later, she started to have trouble breathing.
Luckily, Jess only lives about five minutes away from a hospital. We had some trouble with parking, but we got her in and since it was ten after midnight, she got seen pretty quickly. Rachel went in with her. I did not volunteer because I have a horrible, horrible fear of needles. And there were needles. So I did not go in. Instead, Catalina and I decided to hang out in the lobby. We just talked for a while, but when it seemed clear they weren't coming out for a while, we pulled the cards out of Rachel's purse, which she'd left out with us.
Sometime in the middle of our game, I happened to look up to one of the televisions and saw...Christopher Eccleston. As it was one in the morning, Catalina and I both wondered if we were really seeing Christopher Eccleston or if we were crazy, but there he was. It was pretty bizarre, haha.
Anyway, Jessica and Rachel came out at about quarter after two and we all went home. Jessica is fine, they gave her a prescription and she's going to be fine. It was an interesting night.
Doctor Who is back tonight! It's not on BBC America until two weeks from now, but that never stops us. We all watched it and LOVED it. I was a little unsure of Matt Smith when I saw End of Time (ahem...), but I've been getting REALLY excited about this series since New Year's and I just...I loved it. Well done, Matt Smith, well done. I CANNOT WAIT for the rest of the series! I do not approve of this having to wait thing.
Anyway, I have to go sleep.
See you soon!

Words Without Thoughts
"Oh God, I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams."
So, except for Twitter and my editing channel, I've been pretty much MIA on the internet since getting sick. While I was recovering from my flu thing, I got an ear infection, so the sick has lasted longer than I'd like, plus I've got ongoing personal problems, but I'm on the mend, so I'm trying to get back into the swing of things now. I want to get a video up about Disney and the wizard rock show I went to last month up soon. Actually, I just saw Craig Ferguson live, and it was AMAZING and I have a tiny bit of footage from that, so maybe I can fit that in as well.
So...um...one of the reasons I haven't blogged while sick is because I've been...really boring lately. It's driving me crazy, but I haven't been able to do much of anything while I've been sick but watch Doctor Who with my mom and little sister, who, by the way are all caught up now and ready (kind of) for the next series! Mom is ready. My little sister is still in Ten mourning, so she's not as excited.
I, for one, can't WAIT for series five to start up! I will miss Ten, absolutely, but I'm really really excited to see what Matt Smith does with the character, and where Steven Moffat will take the show. I also really like Amy from what I've seen of her. I really hope I continue to like her.
"I am but mad north-north-west. When the wind is southerly, I know a hawk from a handsaw."
The reason for all this Hamlet quoting, if you were wondering, is partly because I just love Hamlet. Favorite Shakespeare tragedy. Love it. But mostly it's because I finally got to see the Royal Shakespeare Company's Hamlet with David Tennant and Patrick Stewart, and it was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. Definitely the best adaptation of Hamlet I've ever seen (even, I think, better than the Kenneth Branagh version, which I also love), and it was just so good! Something about sitting there watching such incredible acting of such an incredible play just made me feel all warm inside. And it AGAIN solidified my great love for David Tennant. Just...gah. <3
Well, anyway. That's all I can think of right now. I'll try to update again soon.

Ronan looked around herself, trying to get her bearings. She’d been seated on the kitchen table. One of her shoes had gone missing, and it didn’t appear to be anywhere in the room, the other was hanging off of her toes. She kicked slightly and it came off and clattered on the floor. Her dress was a mess and there was definitely dirt in her hair. Frowning, she pushed herself off of the table.
Arin spun back around at her movement, one of his hands still on her arm. “Where are you going?” he asked.
Ronan shook her head, still trying to fight off the last of the effects of the chloroform. “I can barely breathe in this dress,” she explained shortly. “If we’re going to do something about all of this, I need to change.”

"Baby, did you forget to take your meds?"
I had sick dreams!
If you follow me on the Twittah, you will probably know that I've been pretty sick since about Monday morning. Like, bad cold/flu/thing sick. And last night, I had some pretty legit sick dreams.
First, I dreamed I went back in time and saw The Beatles in concert. Only it was a very modern-type concert, and out on a lawn somewhere, and I think my dad was there as a young man.
Then -- and this was a separate dream -- I dreamt that my friend Zack was PRETENDING to be the Doctor. He wasn't actually the Doctor, but he sure was pretending. And people BELIEVED him. And everyone was thinking that I was his companion, even though I wasn't. I was just trying to pack because my family and I were going to Orlando (again) in like ten minutes, and I kept getting these emails from really random people I knew that my friend Phil had said he'd seen dinosaurs when HE was Zack's companion.
Now, this probably isn't quite so funny if you don't know Zack and Phil, but they have been known, in their lives, to be sort of a destructive version of a dynamic duo. I mean, think Allen and Craig or Jake and Amir -- that sort of dynamic, just in real life. And Phil is very much a target for mockery, mostly for . . . well, for being a bit camp, I suppose, for lack of a better word. Therefore, the fact that in my dream, Phil had been Zack's previous fake companion was kind of hilarious.
Anyway, Phil had evidently quit being a fake companion, which I suppose makes him Martha, and everyone was thinking for some reason that I was gonna be Donna, I guess. So Zack is going around, claiming he can travel in time and space (if I recall correctly, he even wore a 10th Doctor outfit), and Phil is telling everone that he saw dinosaurs, and now everyone is just assuming I'm the new fake companion. And all I want to do is be properly packed so I can leave for Orlando, because I haven't packed anything and my family is trying to leave now! I remember thinking in my dream that I might just go ahead and play along because I thought it would be fun to mess with people, but I was rushing around trying to pack and text Zack to tell that everyone thought I was his new fake companion and why was that? that I didn't really have TIME.
Sick dreams are pretty much the only fun part of being sick.
Disney World was lots of fun, by the way. I'll write more about it when I feel a bit better. And I'll make a video on my channel because my contest is done. I just don't have much of a voice right now (it's worse than John Green's husky voice. It's just . . . not really there). So yes. All of that is coming. For now I say, dream on, my little blog readers. Dream on.

Oh, hai.
When did I get so bad at blogging?
Well, since you last saw me, a lot of stuff has happened, and I can't remember most of it. My friends and I had a horror movie night on Valentine's Day (we're all single...), and then we followed that with and ALL DAY DOCTOR WHO MARATHON on President's Day where we watched all of series one. Some of us for the first time, some of us for the third.
And also, my mom and little sister are now on series four. Yay Donna! I'm also somewhat ashamed to admit I actually kindofsortofsometimesalittlebit feel some affection for Martha now. Occasionally. At the end of series three and in series four. I know! I hated her so much at first, and I still hate her at the beginning of series three, but...I don't know, she's grown on me. I still think most of her decisions are beyond stupid, but I kind of feel affection toward her sometimes now. I don't know.
I've recently been spending a whole lot more time on deviantART, and I'm actually working on a series of comics I'm going to post there, if you're at all interested. I just posted a preview for one of the panels I'm about 75% done with.
I'm also holding a contest over on my YouTube channel, which is still open for the next few days.
OH OH! I'm totally going to Disney World this week! I'm SUPER excited! My whole family will be making the oh-so-very-long trip up to Orlando on Wednesday and we'll be gone till Saturday. We haven't had a Disney vacation since my little sister was about two or three. She's thirteen now. I'm freaking excited.
And if you didn't catch the sarcasm, Orlando is only about two hours away from my house. . . .
I also went to an awesome Wizard Rock show in Orlando with one of my best friends, who had never been to a wrock show before and it was loads of fun, and I took a little bit of footage, so I plan on making a video about that soon.
Has anyone been watching the Olympics? I love it. Especially the figure skating. My god, I love figure skating. Ever since I was a kid, figure skating has been my FAVORITE part of the Olympics. The summer Olypics just don't compare to the winter ones because there is no figure skating. Gymnastics is kind of close, but not the same. The year she won, Tara Lipinski was pretty much my idol. I loved her all the way through the Olympics and was ecstatic when she won (funnily enough I just recently found out that one of my other best friends -- another figure skating lover -- HATED Tara Lipinski because she loved Michelle Kwan. Had we known each other then, we may not have been friends). This year, I was so over excited when Evan Lysacek took gold. Like seriously. Oh my gosh. I didn't get to watch the ice dancing from tonight yet, but I'm heavily rooting for Meryl Davis and Charlie White, though I also like the team from Canada. . . whose names I can't remember right now.
What about you guys? Do you have a favorite Olympic event? Who are you rooting for? Does anyone out there like figure skating as much as my friend and I? By the way, Johnny Weir is awesome. Crazy, but awesome.
And I will leave you with an excerpt from my novel. I kind of like that I'm showing these to you guys, because unlike all the other books I've ever tried to write, with this one, I'm not showing ANYONE anything from this first draft EXCEPT these excerpts. These are things that may change drastically in later drafts, but I'm having fun sharing these tiny bits for now.

“So,” Jal said, louder now, “I assume you know how to dance?”
Ronan laughed. “Not well,” she admitted.
“Damn,” Jal said, mockingly disappointed. “How am I supposed to impress the high of society when my date can’t dance?”
“Isn’t that why men are supposed to lead?”
“No, men are supposed to lead because we’re stupid and most of us can’t dance. We make the women look pretty and try not to step on their toes.”
“But you’re better than that?”
“Oh, absolutely,” Jal said, winking sideways at her. “Just you wait, Miss Stidolph, you are in for a treat tonight.”

Love and Lost-ers
Sooo...LOST was on last night! That was super exciting! I, for one, was very satisfied with the premiere. I can feel the answers starting to come, can't you? I wrote an article with just a few of the questions I need answered this season, which is here (awesome that two of those questions have already been answered...kind of). Do you guys have any questions you just NEED them to answer this season?
In response to a few of your comments, Meranichan: from looking at your picture, I can definitely see your resemblance to Emma Watson, which is awesome because she's gorgeous. Certainly a great person to resemble. :] From what I hear, Kate Nash is in a band I can't remember the name of, and she's coming out with a new solo album this year, so yay. AND I'm super sorry about the jerk boy who ruined "The Nicest Thing" for you! Part of the awesomeness of the song, I think, is that it's just SO relateable, any girl who had ever liked a boy who didn't like her can see herself in it (for me, the line "I wish that you new when I said two sugars, actually I meant three" makes me believe the song was written about ME, lol), so I can see why it would be a bit personal for you now.
CRUNKRacoon: After looking at your picture, I think you might look a bit like Penelope Cruz, or Cameron Diaz when she's brunette, or even Rachel Bilson. Maybe? Those are my two cents, haha.
I have a huge sinus headache right now and I'm trying to decide whether to watch till the end of Craig Ferguson, even though it's a rerun, to go in my room and watch the third episode of Being Human, or to go to sleep. I haven't decided yet. If I still don't decide by 1:37, though, I'll have, I suppose, chosen the first by default.
Oh, I've started watching Being Human, by the way. I've only seen the first two episodes so far, but I'm REALLY enjoying it! Like Doctor Who, it seems to have a really good grasp on friends who show affection to each other without having interest in the other's pants. Hugs don't need to be fueled by sexual tension, American television. Can we get that straight, please?
Also, my mom and sister are watching season 3 of Doctor Who now. I still REALLY dislike Martha Jones. I'm sorry if you're reading this and love her, this is nothing against you personally, I just don't like her at all. I'm looking forward to the episodes where she stops throwing herself at the Doctor so much, and I really miss Rose again. And I want Donna to come back, haha. Love Donna, adore Rose, not a big fan of Martha.
Also, I just tried to type "Love," and instead ended up with "Lost." Teehee.
I've started writing my NaNo again! I took about a month long break near the end of December, but it's SO good to be back to writing. I missed my characters a bit. I used to post excerpts from whatever I'd written that day on my blog, would anyone be interested in me doing that again? Let me know if you are, and I may start again.
Okay, that's it for now. I have to decide what to do before I sleep. :] My Scottish friend Martin is telling me not to watch Being Human, which makes me want to watch it more. He should be sleeping, anyway. :P
See you soon!

"I wish that you knew when I said two sugars, actually I meant three."
I keep not updating this thing until really late at night when I decide not to because it's...too late. So here's a short one.
I'm sure you're aware, it's "doppelganger week" on facebook, which means a ton of people are replacing their profile pictures with famous people they've been told they look like. Well, the person I've been told I look like the most in my life is Audrey Hepburn, so I initially put up a picture of her, but then I was asking people who I look like, and I got some interesting answers.
A lot of people have said Kate Winslet, Florence Welch (of Florence + the Machine fame) and Anne Hathaway. I see it with some of them, but not really with others, I just find it super interesting to see how other people see me. Anyway, my friend Viki ended up suggesting Kate Nash (who I love), and I definitely saw some resemblence, and my mom did too, so that's who I ended up going with.
Who do you look like? It can be someone you're told you look like, or someone you've noticed yourself. I think we see ourselves sometimes differently than other people see us, so I like hearing who people think they themselves look like as well as who they think others look like.
I'm sorry if that's dreadfully boring. Or if it didn't make sense. I just need to post SOMETHING.
Also, I'm not sure, but this whole post may have just been incredibly narcissistic. Whatever.
See you soon!

Well, the person I've been told I look like the most in my life is Audrey Hepburn, so I initially put up a picture of her, but then I was asking people who I look like, and I got some interesting answers.
A lot of people have said Kate Winslet, Florence Welch (of Florence + the Machine fame) and Anne Hathaway. I see it with some of them, but not really with others, I just find it super interesting to see how other people see me. Anyway, my friend Viki ended up suggesting Kate Nash (who I love), and I definitely saw some resemblence, and my mom did too, so that's who I ended up going with.
Who do you look like? It can be someone you're told you look like, or someone you've noticed yourself. I think we see ourselves sometimes differently than other people see us, so I like hearing who people think they themselves look like as well as who they think others look like.
I'm sorry if that's dreadfully boring. Or if it didn't make sense. I just need to post SOMETHING.
Also, I'm not sure, but this whole post may have just been incredibly narcissistic. Whatever.
See you soon!

Current Music Obsession: The Nicest Thing by Kate Nash. Which, yes, I've been listening to for years, but I just had it on repeat for a bit of my novel I'm writing. It's a brilliant, simple, gorgeous, heartwrenching song.
