I have nothing specific to write about.

I have nothing specific to write about but it's Friday and I don't want to work on my characters right now. My base plan for my One-Act is just to get into the inner workings of the relationships between my friends.

Tomorrow, I get to be to school by 530 am for quiz bowl!!!!!!!!!!! Sadly, there is very little sarcasm in those exclaimation points... I am completely excited. Plus, I actually get to be part of the team this time!

My mom and I have been using my few days of no after school activities to get caught up on our TV shows. We watched 6 episodes of outsourced yesterday. Only 4 more of those to go! I think we have 10 episode of Mike and Molly but other than that I think everything is less than 5 episodes. I also think once we catch up on Mike and Molly then we will be completely in 2011. Its odd seeing ads for Thanksgiving and Black Friday sales... Esepcially considering its nearly March. But if the weather can be confused about the month then so can my DVR!

I've been trying hard to think a bit less. I have had several good days in a row that were not overly good they just weren't bad!

Today I completely avoided my stepsister at lunch because she didn't get a role in the play and I assumed she would be upset. She is, but not as bad as I expected. I am so proud of her for trying at all. Ever since Musical sophomore year I haven't been able to. It sucks to audition then only end up on crew. It really sucks. But now I have grown to love lights. Although we get a new person for this play who I don't know and that really scares me. The only other names I noticed on lights were Matt and Dan although I believe there were 1 or 2 more plus the stranger. It will be a good experience.

I have almost finished the book I am reading. It is "The Book of Tomorrow" by Cecelia Ahern. It is kinda creepy how relavent it is to my life. The main character is a 16 year old girl whose father kills himself leaving her and her mother alone with all of his debt so they go live with her aunt and uncle on a farm. She is a spoiled brat and her mother is deep in grief. Its a very interesting story. But I know its going to have a disppointing ending because all of Cecelia Aherns books have disappointing endings but that is why i love them. I am just waiting for July so Tess Gerritsen's next Rizzoli and Isles book comes out!!!!!

This week at JSA Mrs. Steinkamp asked if anyone would be willing to accept the job of working on the T shirt design that has been in the works for months. We finally chose a design last month but it needed to be edited for the tshirt makers and noone was getting it done. I said I would do it. I went home and sent her the first draft that night. So what it took others months to not do I did in a night. Then the next morning she sent me what needed to be fixed. I fixed it and sent it back that night. Then finally after a 3rd fixing I sent her a copy that will be voted on next week. Of course I don't quite think it is a good plan to vote because that what gets us stalled so much but I suppose its fair. When I said I would do it I was just wanting to help but the more I think about it, it would be very cool to design the shirt we all wear. Its a tiny bit of fame even if noone knows who made it, hundreds of people would see it.

Although I still don't know what I want to do after high school, I am thinking that I am more of the creative type but I enjoy the logical things too... They say people are either left-brained or right-brained but I think I am both. Maybe that is the root of my indecisivness. Even my brain can't decide what it prefers.

I believe it is facinating how many good people you can find on the internet. I also love how a random stranger on twitter can make my whole day better but a random stranger in real life terrifies me. I posted a tweet yesterday about how I was thinking about Doctor Who while my friends were discussing hair and makeup. Some random person I had never heard of before replied saying how they are glad I am not caught up in the superficiality of high school. They also replied saying they were glad I was having a great geeky day (which is what I labeled yesterday because of my Save the Murlocs shirt and comic books and Big Bang Theory) Twitter is one of the main reasons I am excited for Summer. I was so close to some of my twitter friends over the summer. Now We only talk a few times a week and its depressing. Today is one of my original twitter friend's birthday. Shes 30 something and from Britain. She was the one who first got me to watch Buffy. She found me because of Dollhouse.

It is very interesting to think of how such a little thing has changed me so much. How many people that I talk to now remember much of me before Buffy. Or Dollhouse. I found Dollhouse completely by chance. I was watching Jimmy Fallon and I recognized Eliza Dushku from Bring It On. She was talking about her upcoming show Dollhouse. It wasn't the type of thing I would have watched back then but I decided to check it out. Look where that has gotten me. Dollhouse, Buffy, Angel, Firefly, The Guild, World of Warcraft, Comic books, Dr. Horrible, Doctor Who, Twitter, and so much more. Can anyone remember me without those??? I honestly can't.

I notice myself quoteing any of those shows I just listed without trying. It has become who I am. My entire mind has changed because of them. The funny thing is, I think I am finally the person I always though I would be in high school. Theater, Choir, and Quiz Bowl running my life. I love it.

Well thats all for this week. Hopefully next week I will refind my writing inspiration. Both blog worth and assignment worthy inspiration are needed.
