BEDA #1: Long time no see!

Hello there!

I'm back, well at least for this month and BEDA. As usual, I'm late, and I only have fourteen minutes to write this post before it's the second. So here's a quick list

- I just came back from a week in Canada, and I loved the country. It was gorgeous, and it reminded me so much of Europe. I loved everything about it. The trees, the architecture, the little streets, the little shops, everything!

- I loved the World Cup! It was definitely not the most gorgeous display of football that I've seen, but it's the best sporting event in the world and it makes me happy. I just wish that Germany had won it! My allegiances to countries is a little messed up because I support both England and Germany, but I don't care! But I really do think that Germany played the best football and deserved to win the tournament.

- I miss Manchester United and club football.

- I read so much in Canada! I'm almost done with Lord of the Rings, which I love. I started Little Women, I finished a book for school (The Kingdom of this World), and I started another book for school (Facundo)

- I've also started watching Star Trek, and it's just as good as I expected it to be! I haven't watched that much of it, I'm still only on the first season of the Original Series...

- I leave for Oregon on an international IB conference on Sunday and I'm super excited (but I probably won't be able to blog while I'm there...)

The day that Gaby died (Song is sang to the tune of American pie)

    Current mood: DAHDIAHSKJHKAJSDH KAFGD 

To sum that up I'm freaking out right now. I'm having a complete mental break down. My AP test is in two weeks. TWO WEEKS and I'm going to fail. I don't know anything, arghhhhhh. 

I have been carrying an AP Princeton review book with me everywhere (and when I say everywhere, I really mean it). One of my friends decided that it would be funny if he stole the book from me during Chemistry and I didn't notice and I freaked out because I thought that I had lost it somewhere and I was on the verge of tears and then he gave it back to me... 

            So, I don't want to spend my last blog talking about failing my AP test, so I shall discuss something else. BRB *freezes time and goes off to finish studying*

*particle man, particle man, doing the things a particle can. What's he like? It's not important." I love that song :) Well, I didn't finish studying but I was falling asleep on top of my homework, so I think I should finish this before I pass out. 

            Basically, today was I pretty good day if you don't count the number of times I freaked out about the AP test. We had an awards ceremony in my school and my friends and I (a total of six of us) got a special award for getting straight A's all nine weeks, and they were pretty cool-looking too. They looked like the cubes that they make with the 3-D black and white pictures in them. So I was pretty happy about that, oh and I got to miss Spanish class because of the awards ceremony, which was pretty nice too. 

            I just feel so unoriginal today, I mean I should be writing some great masterpiece thing, and all I can think about is how comfortable my bed is, and how I want to go to sleep. I promise that tomorrow I will write my how-to guide, and I hope that it will be pretty funny and make up for this so called "blog". Oh, yeah I just remembered that I was going to talk about swine flu. What's the deal with that? On CNN (yes I watch CNN, don't judge me, I love the news) the last time I checked the number dead was 257. I'm kind of worried 'cause I remember the panic that took over Europe when we had the mad cow disease over there, it was pretty freaky.

 I remember that someone actually told me that gummy bears were made out of whale bones and you could get mad cow disease from them. I think I was in like 3rd grade or something, but I remember that I really freaked out and I didn't eat gummy bears for the longest time. 

By the way they started selling Scooby Snacks at the vending machines at my school and they are amazing.

Oh and if you want to follow my real blog after BEDA, this is it:  http://bulgarianmemory.blogspot.com/

 Goodnight <3

Memes, Offices, Manchesters and Bananas

As you can see from that title there shall be four things that will be discussed in this blog, after which I might go off and ramble about some other things. 

 Let us begin to discuss The Office shall we? *looks around at imaginary people nodding* I just finished watching the fourth season of The Office. I was supposed to be studying for a math test for tomorrow, but I'm good at math, so screw it. I was kind of disappointed by stuff that didn't happen, and stuff that did happen and quite disturbed by things that I never wanted to see happen *tries to stop from giving away spoilers* Ok, so basically Jim sees Pam and Dwight hooking up, and he gets Angela pregnant and then he decides that he is gay and jumps off a cliff.* I mean come on that is so not fair. I really have a thing for Jim, I mean he is really cute, and yeah he has big ears and a big nose, but he is completely adorable. (A Libertines song called Up the Bracket just came on iTunes and it starts really weird and I freaked out and almost dropped my laptop.)

 I promised you a review yesterday, and I will give you one. I don't think that any of my BEDA buddies are soccer fans, so I will try to keep this short. Basically Manchester United had to play Arsenal for the semi finals of the Champions League (it's kind of a big deal). Manchester has been having a rough time the last couple of games, but they played brilliantly this time. Yeah, they did win by one 1-0, but their defence and attack was top notch. I was really happy because I was freaking out after watching them play with Porto, which was a very sad picture. They have one more game against Arsenal and if they win, or draw that game they will playing at the final(against Chelsea hopefully). Generally the game wasn't that exciting, but almost every soccer game makes me really excited so yeah :)

Crap, I just saw that we were supposed to write a how-to guide today. I'll do it tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow sometime this week. 

 Next thing is bananas. *pretends that this is not random at all* But I was just thinking about this today, and bananas are awesome! (no sexual innuendo intended) I mean, just the word bananas is so much fun to say, and type and write! Bananas should definitely rule the world, then we would all be yellow and cool-looking and we would dance to peanut butter-jelly time. That would be the most amazing thing ever. 

 And last thing was memes. This one was posted by Johnny Durham and I though it was amazing so you should do it too :P

# of times I got hit with a ball in the head today: 2. This is like a new record for me, I mean usually I would be lucky if I can get away with three balls (ha,ha). Yay I just got a text message *feels special and looks at it* Ohh it was actually one of those cute friendship things <3 class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">goodie goodie (I'm not going to discuss that). I am the only one in my group that answers the questions and we always win. And now we finally started learning about Russian history and stuff and ever question that she asked me, I mean my group was about Russia. You are probably wondering why that makes me mad. See, when I tell people that I am Eastern European they immediately think that I either 

a. an Russian or b. Speak Russian. Neither one of those is true even though I do understand Russian. I did answer all the questions that she asked, but come on did she have to ask me only about Russian history. 

I think that I have rambled enough for today. Goodnight <3

P.S. *I need Harry Potter like a gryndilow needs water and as Saturday approaches my need grows* Yep, this song just came on iTunes, oh how I love iTunes shuffle. 

*just in case you didn't catch the sarcasm in there, that did not actually happen. Or did it?

This is not a title.

Hello peoples of the planet Earth! Today's blog comes to you with limited commercial interruptions, and it is in the form of a list, because lists are awesome. 

1. Excuses 

Well, I happened to miss another one of our BEDA chats :( I have an excuse, which is the fact that I only check my blog ones a day, so I didn't see the comment I got on page until today, oh and also I had to study for my AP World History test (what a surprise), which I have basically been doing for the past couple of weeks, and I'm basically freaking out *jumps off an imaginary cliff*

2. Review things 

So, I was planning on writing a review of the Chelsea v. Barcelona game that was played today for the UEFA Champions League semifinals, but as you can see I am not doing that. I hoped that Chelsea and Barca would put on a good game, or at least something worth reviewing, but the entire game was basically Barcelona attacking and Chelsea defending. It ended with a stupid 0-0 draw *yawns and throws soccer ball at TV*

3. Winning things

I don't know if you remember but last week or something I posted a blog where I discussed me presenting a power point about social networking. That power point was entered into a Youth Fair competition in Miami Dade, and apparently I got second place. The prize that you get is money, and I got.... wait for it... *drum roll* four dollars. Yep, I spent hours working on that power point and I got second place and four dollars. Oh, yeah and first place winner got five dollars. I know we are in an economic recession, but come on!

4. Getting nominated for things 

My Spanish teacher nominated me for the Spanish award at high school, which I think is pretty cool, and kind of weird. I kind of don't like Spanish at all, and I really don't want to learn it, and I'm really bad at actually speaking it. But the teacher likes me because I suck up to her and I do anything she asks me to do. Then my friend told me that my English teacher is considering me for the English award. That is AMAZING! My teacher is amazing, but her class is really hard, and even though I have a 96 in it (which I think is the highest grade in my class) I'm not really good at English. I mean I am a decent writer, and I really try my hardest, but I obviously don't have a very good vocabulary and  my grammar is far from perfect considering that English is not my first language and I only moved to America four years ago. I mean I was really happy just knowing that she considered me for the award. 

5. Done?

I think that this is it for today. I'm going to post my review of the Manchester v. Arsenal game tomorrow if it's worth to write about. I'm going to go study for AP World now. 

P.S. you get 10 imaginary points if you can guess which surrealist artist inspired the title of this blog. Hint: his name is Рене Магрит 

Goodbye

Penguin dentists and such

Today's assignment was to write a story based on a picture. My story is (again) an assignment that I did for English where we were supposed to combine words and write sentences describing the adventures of a penguin/dentist. So here is the story (note the obvious Kurt Vonnegut reference).

 

The peniguin siwaddled while reading his dendix. He wasn't paying attention and leddled into the door. Spassionately he kicked the door. The door swung back hitting the penguin who siledaisically was flung onto the petunias and was run over by a walnana. So it goes. 

Glossary: siwaddle- silently+waddle 

dendix- dentist+appendix

leddled-leap+waddle

spassionately- silently+passionately 

siledaisically-silently+ lackadaisically 

walnana- walrus+banana

On a more normal note, today I got a hair cut. I usually get a hair cut with this Bulgarian lady, and either my mom or dad are in the room so they are making small talk with her, and I don't have to talk at all. Well this time they weren't there 'cause they were too busy partying and I had to go by myself. So, I'm sitting there and it was this awkward silence because well, I have nothing to talk about, and I guess she wasn't very much in the mood to talking to me. So, I had to endure half an hour of the most awkward silence ever. That's all I have to say for today.

Goodnight <3 

Hall of Memories

Obviously, I have issues with blogging on weekends. It's not like I don't have the time, I definitely have that, I just... um... don't find the time to do it until 1:36 am. I always stay up really late on weekends and that makes me really mad considering the fact that I don't do anything else beside waste my time on the internet. 

Anyway, so today I had an awesome day with my friend. We attempted to have a Harry Potter marathon, but we kind of just ended up watching the fifth movie. We were going to watch the fourth movie after but then we wanted to have dinner and then we were singing Beatles songs, and that led us to watching Across the Universe. I don't think I have mentioned this before, but I am a huge Beatles fangirl, I mean they are my all time favorite band, they are just made of so much awesome! Across the Universe is one of my favorite movies, I know that the plot is really predictable and shallow, but the music is sooo amazing (And Jim Sturgess is really cute). 

So, today's challenge/ assignment thing was to write a creative story/poem thing (look at my great vocabulary!) So, me being the lazy person that I am, I will just post a story that I wrote for English this year, it's actually my first blog post on me blog on blogger (see how I used me instead of my? I totally want to be British). It's not a fictional story, it was a journal assignment called Hall of Memories where you were supposed to retell a memory as if it's a movie, so here it is: 

I walked slowly through the misty corridor. A strange feeling passed over me. It was a feeling of familiarity, a feeling that I’ve been here before, but at the same time I felt as though I shouldn’t be here. Gray, office-looking doors appeared at my side. Instead of name tags they all had pictures on them, picture of a little girl as she stuck her finger behind a door, and the door was shut, a picture of a little girl dancing on stage and falling on her face, a picture of a six year old girl clutching a Harry Potter book, a picture of a not-so-little 11 year old girl as she rode a bike for the first time, and the last door had a picture of a smiling boy. It was a familiar picture; a picture I’ve seen way too many times, a picture that no matter how many times I looked at I felt the same melancholy, sad feeling wash over me. It was no different this time, as I stared at the picture and reluctantly reached for the door, opening it. For a moment I felt like Harry when he entered Dumbledore’s memories as I entered my own. As I pushed the door open I walked into a familiar room.

 It was my grandmother’s house. A little girl was kneeling on the bed; her hair tied up in piggy tails, her tiny feet dangling off the side of the bed, she was staring at the same picture of a smiling boy in black and white. Realizing the little girl was the five year old me, I followed her closely as she stood up from the bed and ran out the room. The room was a step lower than the kitchen, which the girl had to cross in order to get to the other room. I watched the girl as she ran toward the kitchen and fell flat on her face as she forgot about the step. As if nothing had happened the little girl got up, and walking slower, continued to the other room.  It was a room with an ugly bright orange bed cover, a room I had always despised for some reason, and in that room there was a picture frame with the same boy in it. Again as his picture hung on the wall; he smiled at me, his black and white smile, trapped in the black frame. I noticed how big his ears were. The picture slowly faded away and another one came into view.

A boy and a girl were sitting on the floor, ignoring the chairs next to them, were looking at a picture of the same boy.“Who is he?” the boy, my cousin (even though at that time we thought we were brother and sister), asked. “I don’t know,” the seven year old I answered, “but he makes me sad.”For some unknown reason both of us were afraid to ask our parents about the mysterious boy. Why was he in both of our grandmothers’ houses, why was he black and white and why did he never come out of that picture? The picture dispersed again as another one zoomed in.

A boy was sitting on an ugly orange chair and was flipping through the TV channels; a girl lay lazily on the bed, staring at a picture of a boy. When the boy, my cousin again, was finished flipping through all six of the channels on TV, he turned it off, disappointed as always. Both of us were much older now. I was thirteen, my hair was no longer black, but brown, and my cousin and I were no longer convinced that we were siblings. I was staring out the window at my grandma as she chased the chickens around the yard, trying to get them inside their little house. “We should ask,” my cousin said suddenly, turning to me. “Ask what?” I answered confused. “Who he was.  The boy.” I didn’t say anything, as I watched my grandma walk in the house. She was an old, fat woman with a kind smile; she was the kind of woman that fed you immense amounts of food even if you say you aren’t hungry. I turned to her and finally asked the dreaded question about the boy in the picture. She looked at both my cousin and I before answering slowly. “This is Ivan,” she said as she sat down on a chair and looked at the picture of the mysterious boy. “He was your mom’s brother,” she continued, without taking her eyes off the picture. “Was? Wait, what do you mean was?” I asked, not sure if I wanted to hear the story anymore. “He was a nice boy, “my grandma continued. “He played guitar, he sang and he danced, everyone in town loved him. He was one of those perfect children, he helped old ladies carry their groceries home, and he was top of the class, always getting A’s, complete opposite of your mother. She was always mean to him, she was the young one, and she was the only girl. She always got him in trouble, your mother, she was of the evil kind,” grandma smiled, not taking her eyes off the picture. “Your mother, she was always breaking things, getting in trouble and blaming it on her brother, but he never protested, he never told on her.”

“What happened to him?” my cousin asked. “There was an earthquake in 1979, one of the strongest earthquakes Bulgaria has ever experienced. It happened on a really hot day in May. It struck at around four o’clock in the afternoon, both of us were sleeping, and your mother was out playing with your aunt. Everything started shaking, I didn’t know what to do, I jumped out of bed, screaming for Ivan. I woke him up, scared him to death almost. After the shock of the earthquake everything started. The constant headaches, the weakness that took over him, he wasn’t the energetic boy he was before. We took him to hospitals all over the country, and they told us there was nothing they could do. This was one of the rarest cases they had ever seen. He had leukemia, and two months after the earthquake, at the age of 14 he died.” The scene faded out and I was back at the misty corridor.

 

 

Midnight blogging

Hi... um lets pretend that this blog isn't late *pretends*

So, I'm going to skip yesterday's theme about current events because that would take me a while, and I would have to do some research. Considering that I love talking and arguing about politics there might be a huge chance that I will get into an argument with myself (happens quite often...) and just ramble on for pages. Instead, I will just tell you about my not-as-hell-week-as-Sarah's. 

I had lots of trouble with going to sleep this week, and I blame it all on The Office and the Internet. I mean I have serious procrastinating issues. Sometimes I know that I have to do work, and I'm telling myself that I have to stop watching The Office (or that amazing soccer game, OMG Arshavin, OK, I won't talk about soccer, I won't talk about soccer *explodes*) but I still don't do it. Like yesterday, I had to do math homework for two sections and write a lab report for chemistry, but considering it was early release I decided to go out with my friends at the beach. That was amazing by the way, I had lots of fun playing volleyball with my best friends <3 Oh, and some random dudes from Chicago walked up to our group and wanted to play with us, and they were hitting on some of my friends, but they didn't like me cause I had an attitude :P I tend to have a really big attitude when I'm talking to people that piss me off, or people that I just don't like. Anyway, so that was really fun, but I didn't go to sleep until 12:30 and I almost fell asleep in Chem today, so that wasn't such a good thing. 

And my AP World History teacher is still giving us quizzes every day (that reminds me I have to study for the one on Monday) and we are still only going over the early Renaissance Era. I really like history, but I like more modern history, like the Cold War and Communism and the War on Terror are my specialities, or basically anything that has lots of politics involved (I like to argue with people a lot), so I'm not really into the whole Renaissance thing. 

Anyway, so today after school I had to take the bus home, and getting from school to my house takes an hour and a half (including walking an waiting), and then I had fifteen minutes to get ready and clean my room and go and catch the same bus so I could go over my friend's hou play the steel drums at her school and it was really awesome, and then I got to hang out with her, and we had a fake pillow fight and then we made stupid Harry Potter references. Which reminds me that tomorrow I'm hanging out with her and we are having a Harry Potter movie marathon, and we're making cookies! Yay! 

Oh, and I've been in lots of pain for the past two weeks, my problem is that I have a really high pain tolerance and I usually don't tell people that I'm in pain until I can't get out of bed. My neck has been hurting a lot, and sometimes the pain would stop and then I would feel like someone is stabbing me at the side of my neck and it would start again. I asked my mom to give me a massage today and it really hurt, but I didn't really help, it just hurts ever more, oh and I had a sunburn so that massage was really painful.

Sorry, if this has been really long and boring, but I kind of wanted to write about everything I cared about that happened this week *tries to contain herself from talking about soccer*... I actually really am considering doing BEDM because I like the whole blogging thing, but I probably wouldn't be able to do it every day 'cause my AP World history test is in three weeks *freaks out and hides under bed covers*

Oh, and my question for Monday is What's are your favorite bands and songs, and why.

Goodnight <3

I'm sorry I couldn't contain myself... But the Arsenal game against Liverpool was AMAZING. That's all I'm going to say, I promise... 

Busy, busy, busy

Sorry, that this is so late, and that it will be really short, but I had no time to write a blog today :/ I had an awesome day, though, I went to the beach and had fun with my freinds (more on that tomorrow)... Oh, and my blog tomorrow will be really late cause I'm going to my friend's concert, but I promise I will do the BEDA thing that we were supposed to do today and tomorrow. 

I have to go finish a lab report and go to sleep. 

Goodnights <3

And here because this is so short have a picture: 

How to attract someone's attention in a few simple steps

This how to guide was inspired by an incided that occured yesterday during volleyball class. I, being the amazing volleball player, hit the ball really hard, and it proceded to hit a guy right in the head, which is when this genius idea came to me, a guide about how to attract people's attention. You can be sure that all these steps will work, because they have been tested out by me.*

1. Throw a ball at their head, or any part of the body. 

The object thrown at the person does not even have to be a ball, it could be a pen, or a small alligator if you have one in handy. So what you do now that you have the object is... you throw at the person! See, this will cause them pain, and they 

will most likely look for the person that has caused them the pain, which will be you. When they turn around you can start apologizing and then, BAM you can talk to them, see how easy that is?

2. Throw food at them 

This step works, just like the first one, but it is a little bit messier. Take a piece of food, preferrably something that is messy and will stain their clothes, but not something that you will want to eat, like chocolate. Once you have found the food feel free (that's three F words in a row :P) to throw it a the person, but don't miss 'cause then t

hings get messy... Once your target was hit and you have stained their clothes, you can be sure that they will turn their attention to you.**

3. Now, if none of the above steps work for you, this one is a sure attention grabber! You will need to serenade the person whose attention you are trying to get. The worse you can sing the more attention you can get! And if you can hire a Mariachi band to play along with you, then you will surely be on your way to getting all that wanted attenti

on. Once you have the band all you need to do is start singing near the person whose attention you are trying to get, and be sure once they hear your amaing singing they will notice you.

4. Now, after all this, this person has finally noticed you, and you are probably wondering what to do? Just say hi, poke them with a stick and run away. (If they forget about you, or ignore you, repeat from step 1)

*Maybe, not all of them, but two of them have been tested.

** Warning: people tend to get very angry when other people thr

ow food at them, so make sure the person whose attention you are trying to get does not have anger managment problems. 

Tuesday?

So I'm chatting with my BEDA buddies right now, and I just realized that today is not Wednesday, so I don't have to write my how to guide until tomorrow! My BEDA buddies are amazing, and I really enjoy talking to them, we are actually talking about pens from The Office right now, and Sarah went to go get chocolate and I'm jealous. *note to self: Next time I go to Target get Office pens. End note*

So today was kind of a boring day. I had chess class. So you are probably wondering why I have chess class. I'm not nerdy enough to choose the class myself, although I enjoy playing chess for fun (my chess teacher will be so proud of me for saying that), but I would never voluntarily take it as a class. See, I was supposed to take guitar as an elective, but I guess all the freshman wanted to take guitar, so the class was full and the only available class was Chess, so I got stuck with chess. My teacher is amazing though, and I'm his favorite student, but he sometimes decides to give us homework, which I don't like. Like we had to memorize a 20 move chess game for yesterday, and I hate memorizing stuff, but he did like my game, and I got a 100 :P

So I think I'm going to end here, because I am having a lovely chat with my BEDA buddies, and I would like to go back to it. 

Oh, and I just remembered I wanted to ask you a quaestion. I don't know if any of you watch nerimon's videos, but he is doing this thing where he is trying to get rid of all his Internet distractions. Like he deleted his twitter, facebook and all those things and unsubscribed from most of his subscriptions on YouTube. He did all this just so he can get rid of all these unnecessary Internet things (whoa, what a genius vocabulary I have), and I would like to know what you think about it. Personally I don't like it, because I think that even though the Internet is a huge distraction it provides people with amazing ways to communicate, so I would not delete stuff like my twitter and facebook.

And here is a conversation from out little chat:

gaby: oh, and a random question: do you watch nerimon on youtube?

Melissa: YES. xD

gaby: ok good

Sarah: YES!

Melissa: He's loverly.

gaby: yay!

Sarah: hes amazing.

gaby: he is :P

The Review

Dum dum dum... *pretends she is a famous movie critic and starts reviewing* I shall now review the movie 17 Again for you, my dear BEDA Buddies.

Although I went into the movie theater just because of Zac Efron's alluring hotness, I was not left hanging. Seeing Zac Efron wear skinny jeans with a leather jacket was one of the greatest moments of my life. My friends and I (well at least the ones of the female kind) were jumping out of our chairs when the sweating, dancing, basketball playing Zac came on screen. If you like guys, this is definitely the movie for you (but do not sit in front of a couple who, with complete disregard to the movie was making out throughout the entire movie, it tends to get annoying)

I should probably also discuss the plot of the movie, too. (don't worry no more spoilers than a preview). It was like Freaky Friday with a twist. Instead of switching his body Mike, who is about to get divorced, has the opportunity to re-live his high school senior year and pursue a career as a basketball player, but of course that is where the Disney in the movie comes in and Mike seems to be falling for his wife again. The plot is just as shallow as I expected it to be, although I did enjoy the Star Trek nerd, who was pretty funny, and kind of weird at times. And if you are a fan of the hit comedy The Office you will definitely enjoy watching Jan speak elvish (oh and she has long hair in the movie too). I would suggest, however to see the movie in a theater where 13 (or 15...) year old screaming fan girls rarely go. Unless you enjoy listening to their obnoxious giggles (or squeaks) every time that Zac Efron appears on screen.

Movie rating: 3 stars out of 5

Hotness rating: 6 starts out of 5

No title

Hello <3 

OK, today definitely did not go as planned... I didn't go to the soccer game because FIU called my mom and told her that the Bulgarian player that we were going to see play wasn't coming, so mom didn't want to go see the game anymore. Then, Manchester lost to Everton on penalty kicks!? I mean, WHAT? Manchester are amazing, and they're not supposed to lose to teams like Everton, they lose to teams like Liverpool, good teams! 

So, because my mom didn't want to go to the soccer game I had to go to the Bulgarian Easter party. It wasn't really fun, and I didn't expect it to be. I really don't have a lot of friends in the Bulgarian community, because all the Bulgarians are kind of weird... I used to have two friends, but now it's only one because I found out the other one smokes, and well I really don't like people that smoke because my grandfather died from lung cancer. But the only girl at the party that I knew was the girl that smokes so I had to hang out with her, and she offered me to smoke like five times, and I kept telling her no. And she talked a lot about Bulgaria, I mean she goes there every summer and the moment she comes back she can't wait to go back. I don't really understand her, because I really don't want to go back. But she really did not adapt well to America, and I did, sometimes I think I adapted too well. 

Oh, and after the party my mom took me shopping, which was awesome cause I really needed some new clothing and I got a couple of nice things to wear, so that made my day better. And at the store I saw the shirt that says peas on earth and omgmhazzrocks wore to one of her videos, and I really wanted to buy it but they only had in size XL.

 Then when I got home I had to look for a stupid translation of Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, and I couldn't find the right one online so I just read a random one, and I'm sure that my English teacher will be pissed but who cares.Then I found out I had missed my BEDA buddies chat :( so that made me sad, but I won't miss the next one, I promise.

Here are today's questions (the schedule thing that you girl made is awesome btw.)

• What are some of your current obsessions?

Definitely soccer, although I think that started last summer. Also, Dave from Blue Skies (not the actual person, but his music). His music is amazing i listen to it all the time :]. England, which is the most amazing place on earth. And the obsession that never ends: HARRY POTTER.

•  What's your favorite book and why?

All the Harry Potter books top my list. I mean they are just amazing: amazing plot, amazing character, amazing world. Looking for Alaska is also one of my favorite books, just because it is so moving, and simply brilliant. And then there are the classics like: Pride and Prejudice (i have a secret crush on Mr. Darcy) Wuthering Heights (brilliantly written) Catcher in the Rye (i actually don't know why I like this one so much...) Ok, I should stop now, because I can go on forever 

• What's your favorite childhood memory?

Well this wasn't that long ago... With my cousin at my grandma's house when we used to sit on top of the garage and eat "dinner". Dinner consisted of a glass bottle of coke, a waffle, and a packet of sunflower seeds. This all would cost $1.80. Then my grandma would yell at us to come down because the garage was old and would supposedly fall apart. 

•  What's your favorite quote and why? 

"It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to your enemies, but even more to stand up to your friends"- because this quote is so amazingly brilliant and true at the same time. 

"Private Property Created Crime"- I don't know, why but it just is one of my favorite quotes. 

• What's something you've always wanted to do, but have been too afraid to do?

Bungee jumping :P

Goodnight <3

I don't like giving titles to things.

 Hellos :] I know that this is kind of late, but I still have about half an hour to write it before it is officially tomorrow, so I better hurry up. I'm in a good mood today and I have lots to write about. OK, right I have to stop distracting myself with twitter. So I got to go ice skating with my friends tonight, and I just got home, and I had a great time. I got to hang out with my best friend which was awesome 'cause I don't see her that often. We were actually a pretty big group of people, which is a first one, but just like usual it was a lot of girls and one guy (we don't have a lot of guys). I got to talk a lot about soccer with my guy friend and I was really happy because he actually listened to me, and he rarely does. So I'm currently listening to this song (Middle of Nowhere) and my computer is doing weird things so it freezes every couple of seconds, and it's making me mad. Rawr. 

Anyway, so yeah ice skating was really fun :] Today there was also a student-faculty basketball game at my school, and the students got completely destroyed, it was kind of sad and funny at the same time. The game itself was fun to watch, but afterward as I was getting off the benches and into the crowd my friends decided that it would be very funny if they start to tickle me. I'm very, very, very ticklish and when someone tickles me I squeak and jump and freak out, and it's actually very entertaining. So they tickled me and I crashed straight into the guy in front of me, who came out to be this really good looking guy from my volleyball class, so I was really embarrassed when he gave me this WTF look. The point of this story is that it's bad to be ticklish. 

There was one thing that kind of sucked during my day though, so I was talking to my guy friend about soccer and I was telling him that I really like the German team because they are really good, and because I said that he said that I'm a Nazi. This made me really mad because all my friends are Jewish (and I'm not) and I'm obviously not a Nazi. But also the fact that he would think that just because I like something from Germany means that I'm a Nazi makes me extremely angry. 

To end on a good note, today in my English class we had to write sentences with six vocabulary words and in the sentences that my friend and I created half of them were with Harry Potter references, so we were very proud of ourselves :]

Goodbyes <3

BEDA April 16

No soccer news for you today :D But, I do have to mention that I convinced my parents to skip Easter on Sunday and go to see a soccer game at FIU instead, which is amazing considering that I have never been to a soccer game. 

So, I'm just going to tell you about my day now... It was pretty good actually. In the morning I got to make fun of a friend of mine who is obsessed with sports (not soccer though) and he was convinced that Manchester was going to lose yesterday, but obviously they didn't, so I had to take advantage of him being wrong. Then my first period pissed me off as usual. Its this pre-IB course, and the teacher thinks that she is so smart. She decided to give the class quizzes for AP World (that wasn't today that was last week) from this stupid test booklet that my AP teacher specifically told us not to use to study because it's really bad. Most of the questions on the test were just like in Han China, or in Africa, and it was shit. And the teacher was telling us how the AP test was going to look exactly like that. And then she told us that she was going to give us DBQ essays to write, and I  don't think she even knows how to grade a DBQ essay properly. But anyway, so today I had to present my project that I turned in for this Youth Fair competition, it was a PowerPoint on social networking. So I stood up there and I'm talking, I'm not even reading from the smart board or anything. I finish and she tells me that I could have put less information on the PowerPoint, because it's only supposed to serve you as a helpful tool to present. And I started to argue, because I like to argue with my teachers, and I told her that it's supposed to be like that because I'm not going to be presenting it to the judges, and they will have to read it by themselves and use that as their only information tool, but she wouldn't listen to me, I still got my A though so I'm fine. Spanish and math were fine, they are just boring classes. In Chemistry I did a lab that was actually fun to do. There is this other girl named Gaby in my lab group, and she is sooo gullible. I have never met a more gullible person in my life, no kidding. I was able to convince her that gullible was not in the dictionary, and then I told her I was kidding, and then I convinced her that it wasn't in the dictionary again, and OMG it is the funniest thing on earth. 

I couldn't go to volleyball today though. There was this thing for people that were part of the volleyball team this year (Even though I wasn't) that a friend of mine invited me to. I was disappointed because I had to study for history so I was going to get home too late. I finally did finish studying for history, and I'm gonna go watch the office today 

Goodbyes <3

PS, I was just proofreading this, and I realized that I use "like" in my writing a lot, which pissed me off because I hate it when people say like all the time, and I know I do it, but I don't do it all the time. 

yay :)

So I'm sitting today in my English class as three guys presented amazing presentations on surrealists. Klein wanted a girl to go, and all the girls were pretending to be too busy, scribbling in journals... She called on Rachel, who wasn't here, she called on another girl who got away with not doing it today. And I was thinking “oh fuck” I’m not going to get lucky again, and yeah she did call on me next. I tried to suck up and get away with it, but she was like, “Come on you can do it”. So I went up there, I wasn’t shaking though, which is a good thing, because I was holding a poster, so it would have looked really bad. My voice gave away how nervous I was, though. It always gets really, really high pitched when I’m either very nervous or very excited. But, I did well and I said the entire speech without making any mistakes, and without saying umm too many times. Basically, the point of this story was to tell you that I got a 95, which is AMAZING!

Anyway, there was this one guy that I wanted to write about named H.R. Giger. He was a really weird dude, and when I say weird, I really mean weird. His paintings are soooo disturbing; he suffered from a sleep disorder, where he had constant nightmares. He used art as therapy, so most of his pictures mostly depict nightmares, and they are very scary…. Oh and he was the guy who created the Alien for the Alien movie.

School went well today. I mean English and history went really well, in volleyball I was kind of mad because the people I play with didn’t want to play the entire period. I never get enough sleep on a school night, but I’m always very energetic in volleyball because I like playing it, considering the fact that it’s the only sport that I’m actually really good at. Whatever, I’m still good at the sport, and I’m joining the volleyball team next year, so yay! Anyway, I can’t wait for this week to be over, and it’s only Monday, urg.

Oh, and kickthePj got featured today on the global page! Yay! You're probably wondering why I care, and it's because he is one of my favorite youtubers, and he is amazing.

Moving to England?

Well, no sports new today for you my friend :D Although I have to mention a video that John Green linked in his blog to the final of the 2005 Champions League when Liverpool came back from 3-0, which is pretty amazing. 

Anyway I am very disappointed to admit that today I woke up at two in the afternoon... I love sleeping late. but I hate sleeping this late. Then it feels like you've wasted your entire day, which you really have. And I had sooo much stuff to today, but I was like whatever, shut the fuck up and leave me alone. I did write my book reaction though, which I'm happy about. I have no idea what else to write about in here today. 

Oh right, there is this girl that I follow on twitter, and I'm subscribed to on youtube (youtube.com/sophiebeard) and she posted a link to her blog on twitter and I read it. I'm not going to go into full detail about her blog but it was about her parents were looking for new jobs and how they might be moving so she has to look for a place to live. So I was thinking how I can't wait to move out with living from my parents. I can't wait to graduate, move to England and start university! I might not have mentioned it, but I kind of have an obsession with all English things... When I was around seven and I saw Legally Blond for some reason I thought that it took place in England so I really wanted to go live there. When I was around 9 I really wanted to live in America, and now I am, and I see that it's nothing special, and I really want to go back to Europe (not Bulgaria, or any other Eastern European country for that matter), specifically England. So yeah, my plan is to graduate high school in America, and then apply to college in England with my Bulgarian citizenship ('cause it will be much cheaper) and move to live there :P 

I'm going to go watch the office now 

Byes 

A list:  

read Slaughterhouse Five

read 1984

choose a surrealist to write about 

read entire AP World History Book

study Classical Civilizations 

write a book reaction on The Human Story

Right, first thing today: CHELSEA WTF?! Holy shit they played well. I mean, they're not such a great team, but beating Liverpool at their home stadium that was pretty awesome. I didn't really care about who won, but it was kind of awesome when Chelsea won. Oh, and what's up with Bayern losing to Barca 0-4, ummm yeah that sucked, and I really don't like Spanish teams, so yeah...

I actually found time to do something else other than look at youtube videos and go on Twitter. I finished reading one of my books called The Human Story, yeah the book basically covers the entire human history in like 450 pages, and it was pretty cool. I'm also reading 1984, which is really amazing, but I've only read 80 pages, so I'm not that far in. I don't think I've mentioned it on here, but I really love reading. I usually don't make new year's resolutions, but I made one this year to read 50 books, which is perfectly manageable, since I did it last year. I've only read 10 as of right now, but that's ok :P I just realized that I haven't talked about a lot of things on here, like Harry Potter and Nerdfighters...

So, Harry Potter, I first read it when I was six, it was more like my mom forced me to read it. I hated the book the first time I read it, just because my mom wanted me to like it so much. But then my best friend read it, and she thought it was amazing, so I was convinced to re-read it, and eventually fall in love with it. I remember when I first tried to read a Harry Potter book in English, it was the Half-Blood Prince, and I had a very hard time understanding it. Like I didn't understand half the terms in there, and I was basically like WTF throughout the whole novel. And I remember going to see the first Harry Potter movie in the theater, and it was the first time that I've gone to a movie theater. There weren't enough seats so my parents had to leave me alone in the theater 'cause I refused to leave. For some reason there was an intermission in the middle of the movie and I walked out looking for my parents, but they had gone out somewhere, and I freaked out thinking that they had left me in here, and will never come back for me. When the movie ended, I actually cried, you know at the part when Hagrid gives Harry the album with his parents' pictures. I mean it was just sooo sad... Basically, I'm a Harry Potter Nerd, I've seen the movies like 5123414 times, and these are the only books that I have ever re-read. Oh yeah, and you don't want to watch a HP movie with me in the room, because I recite all the lines, and it gets really annoying but I can't help it...

Moving on to nerdfighters. I iz a nerdfighter (A person that is not made out of bones, or tissues, but made out of awesome. We are fighting nerds that want to decrease world suck). John Green's books are simply amazing, there is just no other word that can describe them <3 class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Paper Towns and Looking For Alaska which is a good thing, because if I read a good book, no matter if it has a happy or sad ending, I always cry <(^.^)> Oh, and I've met John Green, and he signed both of my books, and my backpack, which is pretty freaking awesome :P

I realize that this post has become really long, so I'm going to leave you now. 

Goodbyes
