My brother asked during dinner how to draw a blimp. Then my sister said something along the lines of how do you draw (she said something intangible). Then I said how do you draw love? How do you draw something that doesn't exist? And then I thought, oh, that's good. So here is my 5min sketch:

Umbridge
I'm really bored right now and I want something to do but I'm babysitting in 25 mins so I can't really start anything so I'm just going to ramble on about nothing to occupy my time. I'm reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. But it is moving along soooooo slooooowwwwwlllllyyyyy..... It's taken me so long to get through 250 pages. There are times when I have read 250 pages in one sitting. But not with this book. Harry and Hermione, and you know what? even Ron are all pissing me off right now. Harry has the temper of a fish out of water, Hermione won't accept the fact that house elves live to serve, and they don't all want to be freed and Ron and Hermione won't stop arguing. And it's all happening soooooo slowly. On the other hand, I have met Professor Umbridge, who has been referenced by the Sherlock fandom and now I understand why. Umbridge is annoying as Harry, Ron and Hermione are being and she is always wearing pink. I'm assuming that she lives to see the end of the book, because this is how the Sherlock fandom references her:
The case with the dead woman revolves around the fact that she is wearing pink.

CDO (It's like OCD but the letters are in the right order like they should be)
So I was just organizing me PrismaColour pencil crayons, because they're numbered, so I put them in order. But the OCD inside of me is freaking out because I don't have every number in between!!!!!!!!! aaaaaaaaaaggggggggggghhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHH.

Ok I have this board on Pinterest of images that I've created about my pet peeves and I posted this one yesterday:
For those of you who don't know, your homepage on Pinterest shows everything that has been pinned recently on all the boards that you are following. But it also shows the pins that you've repinned onto your own boards. And so the above image was on my homepage. And I got really excited when I saw it because I thought, SOMEBODY ACTUALLY REPINNED ONE OF MY ORIGINAL PINS! I'M POPULAR (NOT REALLY) BUT STILL! SOMEBODY UNDERSTANDS! But then I saw that it said "Pinned by Heather" and my happiness was crushed. Yeah.

Favourite Scenes
This is one of my favourite scenes ever. (I can't remember whether I've blogged about this scene, but it's so awesome that I'm going to do it again anyways). The Doctor has brought Van Gogh to present time to show him that people think he was a great artist (and so he should think of himself that way too).

Doctor Who
Just finished some doodles from the last two new Doctor Who episodes.
This is just one line from a monologue that the Doctor delivers near the end of the episode The Rings of Akhaten.
"I walked away from the Last Great Time War. I marked the passing of the Time Lords. I saw the birth of the universe, and I watched as time ran out, moment by moment, until nothing remained. No time, no space – just me. I've walked in universes where the laws of physics were devised by the mind of a madman. I've watched universes freeze and creations burn. I have seen things you wouldn't believe. I have lost things you will never understand. And I know things. Secrets that must never be told, knowledge that must never be spoken, knowledge that will make parasite gods blaze! So, come on, then! Take it! Take it all, baby! Have it! You have it all!"
I'm debating showing you the picture that this is based off of because the you would be able to see how out of proportion he is. But I suppose you could google it just as easily, so hear you go:

(BTW, the big red thing is a parasite planet god thing that is requesting things of sentimental value and since the Doctor is over 1000 years old, he has a lot to offer. He is offering himself up to prevent a little girl being entirely consumed. )
And I also did this one:
This is from Cold War. The quote really has nothing to do with the plot line. The Doctor is explaining what these creatures are. It's a continuity thing, the Doctor met the Ice Warriors in the classic series (before the show died out and was revived again).
Here's the Ice Warrior:

2017
So I got this thing from Ryerson in the mail the other day, and they gave me a magnet. It says, "Way to go! Congratulations #Ryerson2017" And at first I was like why 2017? Why not 2013, ya know, this year? But then I realized that 2017 is when we would graduate from a 4 year program. 2017.
2017.
2017.
2017.
I can't handle it. And I don't even know if I'm freaking out because that seems close, or far away, or that I'm going to have to be in school till then, or what.
BUT 2017!

Sweet Dreams...and Carrots?
I had a dream last night that my BFFLAAT and I were in a foreign European country. (It wasn't England though). We were a part of a tour group and had just finished hiking to the top of a mountain. There was the option of instead of walking back down, you could skydive down. Except we were already so close to the ground that you basically pulled the chute as soon as you jumped. My BFFLAAT and I had decided to walk back down instead of jumping. There was somebody standing on the platform about jump but then they decided that they didn't want to jump. They then proceeded to return their equipment and who is it non other than Benedict Cumberbatch. BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH. So on the inside I'm freaking out but I don't want to bother him (and seem like too much of a fangirl) so I don't mention anything. He goes over to talk to the people that he is obviously with, explaining that he just couldn't bring himself to jump. But then my BFFLAAT recognizes him and says, "Isn't that the guy you like?" And I'm like nodding my head like crazy and say "Yes, Benedict Cumberbatch," with obvious awe in my voice. Nobody else seems to have recognized him. My BFFLAAT then proceeds to march up to Benedict Cumberbatch and says, "My best friend is one of your biggest fans." (Note: I am a fan of Benedict Cumberbatch. However, I am definitely not one of his top fans. Having become more familiar with tumblr of late, there are some people who are OBSESSED with Benedict Cumberbatch. So yeah). Anyways, my BFFLAAT then proceeds to turn around and point at my shocked face. I couldn't believe what my BFFLAAT was doing! I would love to meet him, yes, but I didn't want to bother him. But then I thought, well my BFFLAAT has already pointed out that I would be interested in meeting him, so might as well go through with it. Upon seeing me, Benedict smiles and sticks out his hand. I step forward and go to shake his hand. But when I grab his hand it is not in the typical hand-shaking formation. He's doing something weird with his thumb and pinky together....I don't know. I look at him with a puzzled look on my face and he smiles even more. He says, "We should have a special handshake." The fangirl inside of me is FREAKING OUT BECAUSE OMG BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH WANTS TO HAVE A SECRET HANDSHAKE WITH ME but on the outside I just smile shly and I'm like, "ok". So he does this weird thumb with pinky shake thing that I can't remember. He asks me what my name is and where I'm from. I explain that we are from Canada. And that I love his work and I think he's a great actor and everything. Not wanting to take up too much of his time, I ask for an autograph and tell him that I'll leave him alone. He tells me that he doesn't mind, thanks for all the support and have a great day! Well, my day had already been made! My BFFLAAT has now started to wander over to a building at the top of the mountain. I go over to her with a goofy grin on my face. She just looks at me like "wow, get over yourself" but also smiling at me. She then proceeds to point at a tiered seating area that we are standing at the top of. There are rows of benches, almost in the style of a outdoor theater. The only thing is, is that on most of the benches there are giant carrots. CARROTS. Peeled carrots, nonetheless. People are cuddling with them and leaning on them as if it were completely normal, like they were pillows or something. My BFFLAAT looks at me like, "isn't this so strange and funny at the same time?" I'm just confused as to why anybody would lie on a carrot. And then I wake up.

Baths...?
My knee has kind of been hurting on and off recently. Also, my mom had a bath tonight. These events reminded me of the last time I had a bath. The night before, I had been at youth group and I tore the cartilage on my knee. I told my parents that it hurt, and my mom said something along the lines of walk it off. I couldn't believe it. But that's not really part of the story. Anyways, I was going to be leaving the confines of my home, and really needed a shower. Believe me, if I wasn't going anywhere, I would not have been taking a bath. (The reason I was taking a bath instead of a shower was because my knee hurt). I guess the point of this story is that you can't shave while having a bath. It's really awkward and then you have all the little hairs floating around in the water. That's the lesson I learned that day.

Soap
My mom has a thing for soap. I think it started on time when bath and body works was having a sale or something. But ever since then, she's always on the look out for soap sales and buying fancy soaps. The thing is, my mom has a very low tolerance for scents. So, why would somebody with a low scent tolerance be buying fancy soaps? I ask myself this question a lot. Particularly when a new soap bottle is brought out from the STASH of hand soaps that she has. Right now my hands could smell like fresh picked cherries or garden fresh cucumber. Or even California poppies. Does California even have poppies? And if you want your hands to smell like the ocean, you just missed your chance because we just ran out of Pacific blue. However, do not get any ideas from the post about buying my mom fancy soaps as a gift or what have you. We have MORE THAN ENOUGH soap right now sitting, waiting to be used. And also, chances are you would buy a 'scent to strong' and it would never get used. I do have to admit, we were given this soap/lotion package which is citrus and basil scented. Now that is a weird combination.

CMA's
I'm pretty sure the only reason that there are awards just for country music is because otherwise they wouldn't win any music awards. :p
David Tennant
I was looking for one of my old posts and came across my "My Top 5 Men" post, and I thought it could use some extending.
7. David Tennant.
He plays the Tenth Doctor. And, as I recently found out, Barty Crouch Jr in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. And he did a version of Hamlet, which was great. All I have to say is HIS HAIR. Gravity-defying, let me tell you. He is my favourite Doctor. And so here are some videos of him being the doctor:
I ALWAYS laugh when I see/think of this episode. What's going on is that Cassandra has taken over the Doctor's body and it's her reacting to the body (cause Cassandra doesn't really have a body). Cassandra has also been inside Rose's (the girl) head, that's what Cassandra is referring to when she says "I've been inside your head and you like it."
And another:
This is the Doctor telling his companion, Martha, rules and things to do for when he is human (for various reasons relating to the episode). But there is a part of the episode when you see the Doctor talking in the video, but you don't hear him. So this is what David says in between. :)
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnd that's about it. There's nobody else to add at the moment.

Pinterest...and tumblr?
So near the end of my time away from Pinterest, I started looking more at my Tumblr account. But now that I have Pinterest back, I still want to look at tumblr. So now I am worse off than when I started this whole thing. Poop darn it. I might even go so far as to say I like tumblr more than Pinterest... *gasp*
