30 Day Challenge Madness DAY 3

Make a collage. Collages are so fun. Just like pick a theme or something and go find some stuff and cut it out and put it together on something. Here's some ideas:

dont just put it on paper. put it on like the cover of a notebook, or your door, or something. idk be creative.
dont cut a vague circle around whatever youre cutting. if you cut precisely around whatever youre cutting, it looks cooler.
use big colorful pictures for a background to put other stuff on. for example like a giant flower or something. start with that and then put smaller more detailed pictures on top.
dont use bottled glue. use a glue stick or else tape. tape fixes everything. unless you dont like the way it looks, in which case use a glue stick.
use a combination of words and pictures, but try to use more words than pictures because it ends up looking better than if it was just a giant pile of words.
theme ideas:
stuff you like
outside stuff
summer
winter
fall
spring
music
vintage
people
cities
words
your mom

so, do what you want. bye now. i'll probably do another one tomorrow unless i for some reason don't have time which i probably will, so unless you want to get behind on your challenges, you might wanna do this soonish. also! if you would like, unless you're too lazy which you probably are, take a picture of the collage and put it on your blog. k? k. bye.

30 Day Challenge Madness DAY 2

Today's Challenge Madness is a virtual treasure hunt! Follow the clues! Or, follow the URLs that lead you to the clues. It's harder than it sounds.

30 Day Challenge Madness DAY 1

Okay from today until Friday March 25, you will have a daily challenge full of madness (okay well it won't really be full of madness but whatever.). And you don't have to do it, but if you do the Challenge Madness then you can't just only do the ones that you like and skip the other ones. Just do all of them. They won't be intense or embarrassing or whatever, just do them. Oh, and I'll give you the challenge on one day, and it'll be for the next day. So today's, you do tomorrow. So the Challenges Madnesses will be until the 25th but the last Challenge Madness you do will be on the 26th. Anyway. CHALLENGE MADNESS TIME.


DAY 1
So. For the entire day that you are awake, every hour, on the hour, in one notebook or on one piece of paper or whatever, you have to write down where you are, what you're doing, and who you're with. And maybe what you're talking about, if it's interesting. idk. Just describe the situation. Hopefully it's entertaining. Anyway, then the next day, after you finish it, post it on my bloggity blog in the comments. Okay? Okay. I'll do them too so you don't feel left out lol. K bye.

TRUTH.

Dear teacher,

Things

In case you're bored on the weekend, here are some things you can do.

build a fort. make sure you bring your snuggie, hot chocolate, and laptop for to read dearblankpleaseblank with.

bake something random like a cake. anyone can bake chocolate chip cookies, but not everyone can make a creme brulee. which, incidentally, means burned cream in french. just a little tidbit of knowledge. anyway, the funnest baking sessions are ones that take like three hours.

watch harry potter. it always makes you feel better. no matter what. even just the opening music will make you feel good. its just so amazing.

text someone who you dont usually text or havent texted in a while and have a conversation that is not..erm..standard. idk. just be original.

go crazy with paper and scissors and make a bunch of colorful snowflakes and then hang them up all over your house. your family will wonder what is wrong with you but it will be funny because you'll have colorful snowflakes all over your house.

play video games. like mario. or something. idk. video games are fun. if you choose the right ones.

go on one of the following websites:
my life is average
dearblankpleaseblank
grouchy rabbit
unrelated captions
average texts from last night
the oatmeal
people of walmart
youtube
average wizard
omegle (NOTE: user discretion is strongly advised when using omegle, as it is highly addictive and also sometimes slightly scarring.)

go bug your brother or sister. this is quite fun. but also might get you in trouble so be careful.

go on a walk. only, walks are only fun when they are shared with others, otherwise you just look like a lonelyloner.

do your homework. hahahahahahaha just kiddinggg i would never tell you to do your homework.

creep on people. go ahead. you know you want to.

call your grandma. idk. im running out of ideas, okay? idk, maybe you shouldnt call your grandma, because something tells me that would be kind of awkward.

okay well i cant think of anything else, if you actually are bored and you actually dont know what to do, go lie on you bed and stare at the ceiling. thats what i do.

How To Acheive Maximum Nerdiness in a Short Amount Of Time

This post is brought to you directly by a world-renowned professional nerd. Me. Make sure to follow these steps carefully. For best results, pair instructions with large, magnifying eyeglasses, jeans that are much too tight in the hindquarters, and tshirts purchased at your various nerdy activities.

1. The first part of becoming a nerd involves giving up all interest and hope in talking to the 'popular' people. Not that anyone would want to anyway, but if becoming 'popular' was a prior goal of yours, please come to terms with the fact that this will never happen at this time. You are now ready to begin phase two.
2. Now, it is time to start enrolling in as many nerdy extracurriculars as possible. A few suggestions are, but are not limited to: Science Bowl, Quiz Bowl, Knowledge Bowl, Band, Marching Band, Pep Band, Jazz Band, Drama, Anime Club,  or Chess Club. Feel free to investigate other options at your school. Also, it is recommended that you choose at least three of these to fully consider yourself a nerd. And remember, the more the better.
3. Once you have joined all of these activities, it will be hard to find time for a social life. This is exactly the outcome we want. If, by some miracle, you do find time for hanging out with friends, you will need to fill up this empty space as soon as possible. You might want to head to your nearest Target or Walmart and pick up a few video games such as Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Sonic, De Blob, Animal Crossing, Star Wars, Nazi Zombies, or any Lego games. While you're at it, you might want to purchase a few classic nerdy movies, like Star Wars, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones, or The Matrix. Spend most of your time either playing these games, watching these movies, or knitting. On Friday nights, watch old movies with your siblings while drinking green tea. Finally, if someone does ask you to hang out, and you actually do have time, make sure to use the tried-and-tested excuse that you're going loafer shopping with your mother.
4. Now, you, like any good nerd, will need a collection of some type. Action figures or figurines of some type work best, but some other ideas are corks, beanie babies, anime books, bottle caps, technology, or dried flowers. Make sure to display them in a highly visible part of your room, and to spend at least a few hours a week arranging and rearranging your collection.
5. The last thing you will need to make your nerddom complete is a hobby. You should spend a couple of hours every day on this hobby, even if it means not finishing your AP Chemistry homework. Your hobby should be the epitome of your nerdiness, accenting both your choice of extracurricular activity and your use of your free time. For example, if you are in Science Bowl and spend your Friday nights watching Star Trek reruns, your hobby should be something along the lines of experimenting with chemicals or building robots. Other hobby ideas are building model airplanes, watching college lectures on YouTube, playing the oboe or tuba, sewing, fixing calculators or other technological items, or designing software.

Once you complete all five of these steps, you will be a full-time nerd. Make sure that you flaunt every aspect of your nerdiness to all who will listen, and most of those who will not listen. Under no circumstance should you give up your nerdiness; be proud to be a nerd. Remember, sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you. And you will probably be the boss of that kid who shoved your head in the toilet today, so while it may hurt for a while now, we'll see who's laughing in twenty years.

A Listening Experience

So, as you read this post, you're going to right click on the following link and listen to this song while you read. It's classical music. Okay. Just do it. Just listen.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCEDfZgDPS8

We're playing it in band, but not this version; this is the real version and we're only playing a shorter arrangement. Anyway just listen. It's what I've been doing my homework to for the past three days straight.

I saw Bush at the super bowl. And Cameron Diaz. Yeah. I was like, zomg! It's Bush! yeah man. I said zomg.
today i made losts of playlists on my ipod. one was songs that put me to sleep, as in i can listen to at 2 am and they won't ruin the chill mood that i'm in. another one is cute little lovey songs. nevershoutnever was on that playlist the most. and the last one was a summer/friday afternoon/i-have-a-lot-of-energy-these-slow-songs-arent-gonna-bring-me-down playlist.

my dumbledore eulogy is quite good if i do say so myself. welll, actually i dont know if it was really good, per se, more like it was quite enjoyable to write. because it was about dumbldore. anyway, meaghan felt the need to write all over it because she is that cool. but dont worry meaghan. i disregarded your many notes and all the stuff you crossed out. Oh! for your information, you crossed out every single comma on like two of the pages. just in case you wanted to know that. which im sure you already knew because you did it.

anyway. i went to snuffys malt shop a few weeks ago, and discovered, to my utter amazement, that malts are really good. i thought i didnt like them, but i guess malts are quite different from malted milk balls...who woulda thought. whoppers, the candy ones you know? yeah those are nasty. but malts are amazing. theyre pretty much just milkshakes. i had a strawberry one. strawberry is my favorite kind of ice cream i think. i like the basic kinds like vanilla strawberry cherry blahblahblah.

know how i said i was okay with it being january? well now its not january. and i wish it would hurry up and be spring. i like spring. im excited. i keep listening to songs that make me want to be outside in springy weather, which is quite impossible on account of its snowy and cold. so if it could kindly hurry up and be spring, that would be nice. plus since i completely neglected the trampoline for pretty much all of last year, i kinda want to go on it now, but i cant until its spring.

so. i made butterbeer over the weekend. it was really really really good. it was super rich though. i dont know how they can drink it regularly in the three broomsticks and wherever and not be really full because it was difficult for me to drink one glass. ali didn't like it because it was too rich and he didnt drink his, so me and lydia are calling him a muggle now. hes not reacting, but hes thoroughly offended deep down. i can tell.

so i found something out today, and its that cho chang is a year above harry. i didnt know that. im surprised.

so i sneakily told my dad to buy a pint of cream at cub for my butterbeer, even though i figured i most likely wasn't going to need all that much, so now we have all this heavy whipping cream and i think its time to do some whipping. real whipped cream is the best. i just need to make something to put it on first. maybe ill make some pie.

well, im done now, i think im gonna go read harry potter (im in the middle of the 5th one again. for the 6th time. i think. maybe the 7th or 5th. idk. around there) or drink hot chocolate or take a shower or watch tv or make a pie. one of those. either way im leaving so bye and i hope you listened to that song because classical music is good too and not many people our age listen to it. well. bye.

awkward conversations

so, i have a lot of conversations, which you know. and a large fraction of these conversations are really really awkward. and usually the awkward conversations are with the same people. as in every time i talk to them its really awkward. and it makes me laugh afterward, because, idk, thats what awkward conversations do, they make me laugh. but anyway yeah i was just thinking today how i have a lot of those. and i laughed. for example, i was talking to [insert name here] today and theyre like 'hi raisa' and im like 'hi [insert name here]' they were like my legs are really sore. and i was like thats unfortunate and we were talking about running blahdiblahdiblah and they go but my butt is the most sore and im like...okay...my butt doesnt get sore from running. and theyre like, yeah, you dont want to experience it. and walk away. i was like, okay. that was weird. actually most of the time that i am talking to that person its a pretty weird conversation. ahaha. and other people too. like [insert other name here] who always feels the need to sit on me or stare at me when they see me. lets just say, this year i have met a lot of awkward people. either that or i just got more awkward this year and its me and not them. that would explain a lot more. anyway. thats all i have to say about that. bye.






oh. and also, i realized that another large fraction of the things i say are quoted from somewhere else. usually youtube. or a movie. i am a loser. oh! again. next time i post its going to be 'how to reach maximum nerdiness in a small amount of time'. written by a professional nerd. which is what i have become. okay. well bye.
