Reality Check (also my 100th post!)

I'M BAAACCCCCCKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sure you missed me :)
Had a great March Break, lots of exciting things happened! Like a medical evacuation from the middle of the ocean using a US Coast Guard blackhawk helicopter!!!!! Oh yea, good times, good times.  Spent 7 hours in an airport yesterday, not fun (but not as bad as I thought it would be).  Spent today shopping in Detroit, got myself a few things.  Now back to reality, not fun.  As you probably already know from my ranting, I have multiple projects due this week, I'll have to get going on those... Hope you all had a good march break, whatever you did.
(AGY is Anti-Gravity Yoga.  I have all my short forms listed on the side if you ever need help deciphering what I'm sure is not an easy to read blog due to my rambling.)
I can't remember if I've used this photo before... but it's funny because Matt Smith(who plays DW) doesn't have any eyebrows.  (These are all actors who are in DW and Sherlock and some other things too.)
See? no eyebrows!!!

March Break

Just got back from AGY, I've got a bit of a headache now.  But it's nowhere close to the migraine I had yesterday.  While I was writing a math test. Not good.  I was shaking and lightheaded and couldn't concentrate.  Then after school I went to get a pedicure.  Probably the worst pedicure ever because I couldn't enjoy it because of the pounding in my head.  Oh well.  I am a bit panicked, because I have three (THREE!!!) projects due the week after the march break.  And I'm not doing it over the march break, so honestly I don't know when it's going to get done.  ARGH.  I'm guessing the stress has something to do with my headache.  Oh well. Tomorrow's Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then its March Break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Just found this picture on the internet (as I do with all my pictures, all the credit is not mine) and I laughed because what does a penguin have to do with March Break? And I think those are icicles coming down from the words...

Dread and Hope at the Same Time


Okie dokie.  Not much going on, socially wise.  On the other hand, school wise, there is waaaay to much going on.  I have a quiz in T and T tomorrow, a test in math tomorrow, a biology test on thursday, a computer science test on the Tuesday we get back (March Break is the only redeeming factor about school right now), a 4 page biology report due the Tuesday back, and a T and T project due the Wednesday back.  ARGH! PANIC!!!!!!!!!!!! Thankfully, I can cross two off at the end of tomorrow.  But it's still so much! Only 4 days till March Break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think you understand my excitement.  :)
This is a picture of Sherlock just before he jumps *cringe*.  He has just told Watson that he is a fake (they're talking on phones, cause Watson is on the ground and Sherlock is on the roof); he made Moriarty up to make him look good.  When Watson tries to contradict him with times he rattled off tons of information that nobody else saw, Sherlock say's to him, "Nobody could be that clever." It broke my heart.  I almost cried.  And I'm not ashamed of it.

Busy

Due to the positive feed back re the background, I'm going to keep it this way.  But it will take some getting used to.  Now before you comment something like, "well, it's YOUR blog, you can make it however you want.", I'm not that kind of person.  If you guys like it, then I'll keep it to make you happy.  Not that I'm saying I will follow your every command or anything, but for something as simple as my blog background, it doesn't matter to me.  Went to see The Lorax today, it was good.  There were songs in it, almost like a musical, which was a surprise.  By the end though, it was getting to be a bit much.  I was thinking, "OK, that's one song too many."  Other than that, it was good.  I mean, they turned a 20 page book (pages which were mostly pictures, might I add) into a full length movie, so it was a bit slow.  (It's like the Little Engine That Could all over again.) Anywho... not much else to say.  It's going to be a busy week.   This is Benedict Cumberpatch from an interview he did about Sherlock.  It's pretty funny how he says it, that font doesn't do him justice.

Sunday Morning....WAY Too Early

Yes, yes, yes. It's still the same blog, there's nothing wrong with your bookmarks (or at least I like to think that I'm in your bookmarks).  So what do you think? Yeah, I don't like it either.  Maybe it's just because I'm so used to the other layout/background.  Oh well, it won't be staying like this, just thought I'd let you see it.  Just bought a couple books with some money I got for Christmas, but I don't want to read them until I finish the series I'm on already on (Wolves of Mercy Falls).  Last night was good.  Hung out with my friends, ate way too much... I'm gonna go see The Lorax with my BFFLAAT later today, can't wait! My Sherlock-DW friend showed me this blog completely dedicated to Benedict Cumberpatch's (he plays Sherlock) fashion mistakes (with guest appearances from Martin Freeman who plays Watson). It is absolutely hilarious!  At least, I think so. I mean, there's nothing wrong with his costumes or anything, it's when he's not on the job that has some problems. Been spending some time on Goodreads...I have nothing better to do.  I should probably exercise or something....nah......but I should.....Ugh.  Today is such a Monday.  Sorry, inside joke :)

Baking

So close. SO CLOSE!!!!!! I really thought that I would be able to get my quilt finished this morning, but alas, that didn't happen.  I just have to put the binding on now.  I'll put a picture up once I'm done.  Which won't be for a while now cause I won't be at sewing for the next couple of weeks.  So in reality it might be another month before its done :(  Oh well.  Just made a Chocolate Zucchini Loaf for my friend's birthday.  (You can't tell that there's zucchini in it, but the zucchini keeps it really moist, it's really good.) I hope she likes it, she said she wanted me to bake her something healthy (she's a bit of a health nut), so this is my attempt at healthy.  It's from a cookbook that's supposed to be all low-fat, etc so it should be good.  I have to admit, its smelling pretty good.  I have to make her a card too.  Not want, need.  It was specially requested from the birthday girl herself that I make her a pretty card.  And it has to be pretty.  (I don't know if I should be insulted by the fact that she emphasized pretty, is she trying to say some of my cards are not pretty?!)  Anyways, not much else going on this weekend for me.

Quotes

I don't know if you knew, but I love quotes.  Especially ones that make me smile or laugh or bring back memories.  (Kind of like inside jokes).  Like this one: "Do you think you could survive for just a few minutes without showing off?" - Judge to Sherlock.  Or
John Watson: What are we doing here, Sherlock? Seriously, what?
Sherlock Holmes: I don't know.
John Watson: Here to see the Queen?
[Mycroft Holmes walks in]
Sherlock Holmes: Oh, apparently yes.
[They fall about laughing whilst Mycroft stares disapprovingly]
Mycroft Holmes: Just once, can you two behave like grown-ups?
John Watson: We solve crimes. I blog about it, and he forgets his pants. I wouldn't hold out too much hope.
:D
