BEDA Day 18: I'M WALKIN' ON SUNSHINEEE, WHOAH-OH

Oh, what a day today has been. The sun was shining, the day was beautiful, and my semi-crush talked to me. *skips*
Despite having to take a math exam today (and most likely failing it), and being so tired that it took all my strength not to fall asleep every five seconds, I have had quite a good day.
After my stupid math exam, I went to theatre like any other day, except today, I was sporting my awesome Doctor Who/Beatles Teefury shirt, which is this one:
I wore it today specifically, knowing that if any one was going to recognise my shirt, it would be someone in the theatre department. Now, I have worn my Giraffe Love shirt that Hank Green designed, in hopes that some Nerdfighter would recognise it and I would finally have a IRL Nerdfighter friend, but unfortunately that has yet to happen. So, I wore this shirt today in hopes that I would find a Doctor Who fan, and they usually end up being Nerdfighters.
Well, when one of the groups were getting stuff ready for their scene, Jack, my professor, asked me what my shirt is of. On the inside I was like, "YAY SOMEONE ASKED ME ABOUT IT!! And it's Jack! I love him! In a non-weird way." I told him it was a Beatles/Doctor Who crossover, and he's like, "Yeah, it's a take on Abbey Road. Ooh, I see the TARDIS now, is that Tom Baker with the scarf?" I kind of almost asked him to marry me in that moment. It was amazing. I started naming off the other Doctors on the shirt, and then all of a sudden one of the girls in my class came up and gave me a quick hug and said, "Oh my god, I love you. Your shirt is amazing." So I told her about Teefury and shirt.woot where I get all my awesome nerd shirts. Finally, my own kind!
When people had performed their scenes and class was nearly over, as I was putting my chair away, the adorable guy that I'm semi-crushing on but never talk to came up to me and said, "Your shirt, that's from teefury  right? I saw it a few days ago. Very cool." Then left. I....I.... asdgdfjhkhlasffsgdlh;lllk; I was a puddle on the floor for a moment.
I could not concentrate on anything else for the rest of the day. Sociology and work was a boring blur.
Okay, well, I'm extremely tired, so I'm going to go attempt a nap. It did not work out yesterday.
Good bye, DFTBA, and Happy BEDA-ing.

How wonderful life is, now that Glee is back in the world!

Ahhhh, the season 2 premiere of Glee was amazing!!! I'm not going to say anything, because I don't want to spoil anything, but OHMYGOD it was sooo good. Next week's episode is dedicated to Britney Spears, and I'm SO EXCITED.
Okay, enough Glee spazzing.
In costuming today, we learned how to thread a sewing machine and do hand stitching. I was good with the hand stitches because I mend clothing and stuff with stitches all the time, but man, when I had to use the sewing machine, I wanted to throw it against the wall. I'm just rubbish at using it and all my practice stitches turned out awful, even the straight lines. xD I was starting to feel really domesticated, like a woman from the 30's or something, since there is like 10 girls in the class and one guy, and I wasn't liking it. I'm not an extreme feminist, but god knows I'll kick anyone who says my place is in the kitchen or something.
Anyway, I'll probably get used to the sewing machine, but today I hated it.
I finally finished MockingJay last night. There was a lot of sobbing going on. The book was just so tragically ironic in a way, and then just tragic in general. Most of my favourite characters died, and even though I knew in like...the second book in the series, that, if it came down to choosing between Gale and Peeta, I knew Katniss would end up with Peeta in the end, but I was so strongly Team Gale until the very end.... Almost every page turn revealed something unexpected, and I want to give Suzanne Collins the biggest hug in history for making me believe in a series of books again, seeing as I am still very much in post-Potter depression.  If you haven't read them....I'm sorry that I kind of spoiled a tad bit, but you should really read them. They're brilliant books. The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and MockingJay.
One of my favourite quotes definitely has to be

"...collective thinking is usually short lived. We're fickle, stupid beings with poor memories and a great gift for self-destruction."

Because it's so true. These books are so true to the human character and nature, and shows us at our worst. Will we end up self-destructing ourselves? Though life is not as cruel as it is in the Hunger Games, the books definitely do a fine job showing that we are so capable of turning the world into that. It shows the absolute worst in human nature, but also it's ultimate best. It's true to loss, and it's true to love, and most of all, it makes us believe in the strength deep down in ourselves to fight for our rights.

I think that's all I have to say about today.
OH! My epically epic awesome nerd shirt came today!!!


It's a TARDIS and a DeLorean!! (Doctor Who and Back to the Future) I love it so much because A) They're both time machines, and B) They are both operated by men who call themselves "Doctor". :] 

Good night, have a good Wednesday.

Hide and Go Seek Master

Today started off like any other day....you know, the usual nagging of my grandmother at unruly hours of the morning when it's my day off. She was gone most of the day though, so I just went back to bed.
I also finally had some downtime, and the opportunity to finally finish Catching Fire, so now I can read MockingJay, which I've been pining over for the past two weeks or so. The ending of Catching Fire was so shocking and oh man, I'm going to start MockingJay in a few minutes because I'm just so excited for the book. I'm also sorry, team Peeta fans, but I'm team Gale....I was never much for blondes....And I just like Gale, I don't know why. Peeta is sweet and loving, but I just like Gale more. Maybe because I associate with him far too much. Pining for a person that you'll probably never have.... But I don't know, maybe something happens in MockingJay that makes so many people team Peeta fans, and dislike Gale. I'll just have to read.
 
Lately, I've been feeling like I'm in such a clutter. I mean, my brain and thoughts are usually all over the place but recently I have just been in such a funk and everything things just so...disheveled. I can't handle it. So, I've been trying to organise my room to the best that I can, but it's awfully hard when I don't have a desk or a bookshelf or even a chest of drawers for that matter. -_-

I'm going to segway on to my title now, so it makes some sense. I have this really, REALLY, annoying little cousin, who is a complete brat, and I can't stand kids like that. Well, her mom and my grandma were going off to Costco, and my cousin Torie comes running into my room and says, "HIDE!" in a hushed voice, and she hides behind my door. I was very confused, so I played along, laid down on my bed, and covered myself with my duvet. I had no idea that my little cousin was there and that my grandma was looking for me, but a few minutes later my grandma opened my door, with Torie hiding behind it mind you, looks in, says,"Nope, Jordyn's not in here," then leaves. Torie and I had to try so hard not to laugh. Torie then tells me that she heard my grandma say outside,"well, let's see if Jordyn and Torie can watch you" or something like that, and Torie ran for dear life when she was downstairs. xD When we realised that they had left, she and I laughed for about 10 minutes. The simplest places are always the best. <3 hahaha

Tomorrow, well, not sort of today since I was late on this again, is September 11th....Today, in 2010, with all the stupid extremists wanting to burn the Qu'ran, and stop a mosque getting built, and all that nonsense, that we can all still remember the lives lost in 2001, and how the tragedy brought us together during that time. We need to remember it now, especially since it seems that we are getting torn apart.

Now, I will continue watching the Human Nature episode of Doctor Who, which is one of my favourites <3, and read MockingJay.

Sick Day

Today, I fell ill and literally spent all day in bed. I felt like I was dying.:[
I got up with my alarm, but I felt so faint, so I went to my grandma, she gave me pills, then I passed out and slept soooo long.
My throat is still killing me. It hurts to talk, and I still am very weak and my whole body hurts. :[
When I finally came around to waking up, I made some tea and Miso soup and those really helped sooth my throat, and actually did make me feel 10 times better.
I stayed home from school because there was no was I was going to be able to last all day and not die.
I already felt like I was dying while at home. :[
Now I'm just drawing some stuff for my costuming class and watching Doctor Who re-runs.
So, not much to report today. I hope I feel better tomorrow. :[
