I normally like thinking ahead when I do things. I tried thinking ahead for VEDA, but I was so caught up in The Final Battle that I forgot. I'm pretty much just going on a whim with what I want to talk about. Though now for me vlogging is like talking to a group of people, so it comes sort of natural.
There are things, however, that I can't just do on a whim. Take for example writing a novel.
I participated in NaNoWriMo last year, and it was pretty fun. Though I was stressing so much because I just thought of everything on the spot, and it turned out to be a really bad story that I could not save no matter how many time I revise it.
This year I am going to do it again, but I am already thinking ahead of what I want to write and what the story is going to be.
Most of the ideas I get from dreams. The particular story I'm going to write is a recurring dream I've been having for about 3 years now. I'm so excited because this is the one story I want to make perfect.
Enough of that.
I have had the strange urge to dance, so I am going to feed that urge!
DFTBA and best wishes!

Arcade Fire and floating head boy band
So tonight Youtube is going to broadcast Arcade Fire live. I love Arcade Fire, so I will definitely be watching!!! I first started listening to them about three or four years ago when they played "Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)" on Later with Jools Holland. They are so awesome!!!
So today I had a day off, so I pretty much relaxed...until I went to go record my video. It took forever. I would guess it took about 40 minutes to get it right. I should have edited it, but with movie maker messing up, I couldn't. I also had to make my 7NAP video a one take video as well. I really need a better computer so I can get a better editing software!
I figured out the video I wanted to post here was. All I had to do was type into google, "Floating head boy band". It's a music video for the song, "I Feel Better" by the band Hot Chip. It is really weird and kind of creepy after about 50 seconds, but that is what makes it so funny to me. Maybe I just have a really messed up sense of Humor. ;D
Hope you all have a great night!

Mudkips? (BEDA #3)
This post has nothing to do with mudkips. :)
I really hate it when guys try and be nice to a girl in a friendly way, but the girl takes it as a sign that he likes her and wants to date her. It's stupid. Especially since it's illegal for her...
I know some interesting people.
It is really hard to have a work life, a social life, and a internet social life and try and read all seven Harry Potter books in seven days. It is almost impossible.
I just crammed so much stuff for myself this month now didn't I?
I really wish that I would have worked as a summer staff at camp this year! I missed it so much, and considering all the people that were on staff, I would have loved it more than my previous two years!!!
If you haven't watched this yet, you need to. It's pretty hilarious! I watched it at work the other day, and laughed! There was another video that I watched that was even funnier, but I can't remember what it was called or where to find it. If I find it, I'll post it tomorrow.

Self realizations (BEDA #2)
I have figured out how I want my blog to work out for this month.
Every time I make a video I realize that I always forget to include something. That's the way it is for everything in my life. I always tend to forget one important thing when I pack for a trip. I forget that I have to do something moments before it is due (note when this blog is published...).
It's just the way things are, but surprisingly enough, I haven't forgotten a single thing in my video today. Who would have thunk it?
Well considering I only had that story from last night, and the telling people to thumbs up Nina's video (DO IT HERE!), I didn't have much to talk about.
I finished Chamber of Secrets today, and got halfway through Prisoner of Azkaban. I knew doing 7Books7Days would be difficult for me, not only because I'm a slow reader, but also because I get so easily distracted. I swear I have some form of ADHD. Work and having to walk to and from work doesn't help much either. I don't complain about that one much because it puts money in the bank. :)
Either way if I don't end up completing this task of reading all HP books in seven days, I am going to continue reading them after wards so I don't stop at a weird place. I don't like the thought of quitting.
That's all I've got for today!
Best Wishes

Starting BEDA a day late but hey I try.
It's that time of the year again. I loved doing Beda (In April) last year. It was quite a fun experience. This year I am doing both Veda and Beda because I have nothing better to do with my life. That and I haven't blogged in a while and I miss it. :)
Anyways.
I have yet to make a blog post about Infinitus! This one is three weeks in the making.
Infinitus was by far my favorite week ever in my whole 21 and a half years of living. I hate to say it, but it tops my Senior year band trip.
I met so many cool people while I was there. Some of them youtube "famous", some people from Accio-potter (One of which I was hanging out with and didn't realize she worked there until she sent me an email shortly after.), and met all of the orchestra, cast, and crew of the final battle.
I was almost afraid I wasn't going to make it there because someone I couldn't get in contact with the person I was supposedly going with. It freaked me out, so like the paranoid narcissist that I am, I posted it on Facebook. Luckily Lena saw it, and reacted immediately! She booked a plane trip for me.
If nothing, this weekend was a bunch of firsts for me. My first plane ride, my first trip by myself, my first time going to a convention, my first time meeting people I met online, my first time going to a wizard rock concert, my first time playing in a musical, my first time taking a train, and my first time paying for almost everything (I still have to pay back the other half of the plane ticket).
It just shows how much I have yet to do in my life.
The main reason for my going was for the Final Battle. It was stressful, demanding, tiring, and frustrating at times, but it was totally worth it for the final product!!! It went so well, and it was so well received! It was awesome to hear the reactions people had to it. They cheered, booed, gasped at all the right times. It was amazing!!!
The best news I heard there was Mallory (The Director) say after the performance, "Let's do it again at LeakyCon!". At first a lot of us were questioning this. We weren't sure if she was being serious, but word got around that indeed we will be performing it again at LeakyCon Next summer!!! I am so excited! I already know my plans for July 13-17 of next year! I have already started saving up. This year is good because I have a lot longer of a time to save up than I did for Infinitus (I got my job about 6 months before Infinitus and I also have to factor in the fact I paid close to $300 for driving school and $200 for registration.) I will be better prepared this time!
I really can't explain how awesome Infinitus was except that I had an absolute blast. Afterward I had extreme Post Potter Depression because I miss everyone, and I miss the awesomeness. I am now anxiously awaiting LeakyCon, and wondering what amazing things will happen there.
I will never forget Infinitus for as long as I live.
Anyways I am going to and try finish reading Chamber of Secrets for 7books7days (Where myself and others are reading all seven Harry Potter books in seven days.)
Good night everyone and best wishes!!!
