Okay, hey!

Hi guys! 

I can't get you a forktopus picture currently because it's 4:55 AM. You're welcome. Anyways, exciting stuff! I'm at my grandparents' while my parents party in Nashville! We're going home tomorrow, then Tuesday night we have Christmas Eve where everyone in the family comes over and we have casseroles and such and then we open some presents, then Christmas morning and then a couple days after that we leave for Decatur where we'll spend New Year's and then we'll come back and we'll have a couple days to actually have a break somewhat and then it's BACK TO SCHOOL! AAGH! So yeah, that's happening. Now to survive until spring break, then until summer break, then I'll be great! Okay there we go. Not much more I wanted to say. Song today is Skybreaker by Razihel because it sounds awesome! YouTuber today is Good Mythical Morning because they're funny! Bye guys! Phone at 10 percent, sorry for a short post, forktopus coming soon!

Almost to 2000 views!

It's the 18th... let's see... 30 minus 18 is ...

12.75 views per day. So approximately 13 views per day will get us to 2000 before New Year's! That would be SOEPIC so try to visit AOAP (as often as possible) so we can do this! And tell all your friends about my blog too so that we can hit the two thousand goal by New Year's!
There the math's done ok? Now it's up to you guys to get us to two thousand!

Okay, forktopus picture will be posted in the next post I do that isn't at night. He's really handsome and made out of a real used fork! He can also poke you! Buuuuut I need a good name! My current nickname is "Forky" because my friend said it was good, but I need a permanent name! Maybe.... I'll POLL YOU!
I think my parents might be getting me a YouTube channel for Christmas because my mom avoided the question when I asked her if I was getting a channel... all I really know is it's "elaborate" and YouTube's elaborate too!
Quickly, YouTuber of the day is ForktopusNation. They don't exist yet, but when they do, they'll be run by a person named Gracc McDede because she got a channel for Christmas (hopefully)!
Song of the day is "The Annoying Version Of Carol Of The Bells" (not formal name) because it's so stuck in my head that it's very annoying get it out get it out help

Mmkay. So more topics. Firstly, this one guy I have a crush on sort of put on a Santa hat and he looked SO CUTE OH MY GOSH. Not telling his name because he might read this blog eventually, just know that I think he's sort of cute. I don't like his personality though which is a shame because if he had a better personality then he might be kind of cute/handsome in a dorky sort of way which is exactly how I like my boys so

Also, putting it out that yes, I am a panromantic asexual genderquestioning person. Yes, that is confusing.

• Panromantic: I love all genders and all sexual orientations and stuff
• Asexual: I don't like others in a sort of "finding-a-mate" sort of way
• Genderquestioning: I feel like a girl most of the time but then sometimes I feel like a boy.

sooooooooooo I'm just sitting here on my computer and I have seven hours and twenty minutes of battery left oh my goodness. I can get to 17:26 which is 12 one two thee four five FIVE O'CLOCK without having to plug it in. YEah, this computer's awesome! anyways yeah my life so far:

• Winter break is like on saturday so yeah and before that I have the
• Virus Day which will be fun but also serious and the
• Pentathatlon I dunno how to spell but it's gonna be fun! Then right after I get out of school I'm going to
• Be picked up by my grandparents and spend the weekend at their house as my mom and dad are going to Nashville for their anniversary. afterwards, I'll
• spend winter break probably playing loads of computer games and then socializing with my friends and not doing anything outside of my room including changing my clothes or eating proper meals

That's the summary of my life, with a forktopus coming soon. 

Henry? Steven? Charles? JEREMY? Ugh, such a hard decision.

Winter is Breaking!

Winter break is approaching. This is a source of happiness for me :D because it means:
1. I get to visit with some of my friends from my old school
2. I will be in my birthday month afterwards (January 27th is mah b-day)
3. I get to visit my fwends in The Catur during the break

So I can't wait!
for the first item, I am imploring my parents to let me and around maybe five-ish friends have a sleepover that will be GIGANTIC, ENORMOUS, and FUN. for the second item, I sadly don't have any ideas for a good party yet! I need ideas! I'm thinking maybe I could have a big sleepover like I did last time because that was a fun fun time. For the third item on the list, this makes me HECKA EXCITED because we're going to visit over New Year's! A specific date has not been set yet because we need to find someone to watch the dog and we don't know when they'll be available. If they can watch for a week, we'll go for a week. If they can watch for a couple days, we'll go for a couple days. If they can watch for a couple hours, we'll find a different person because it takes us like 5 hours to drive there.

What are you guys doing over winter break? I wanna know! Comment and I might feature it in a post somewhere? MAYBE! DEFINITELY MAYBE!

Recommended YouTuber today is In A Nutshell (Kurzgesagt) because they have some cool videos about the universe and also they include a TARDIS in a lot of their videos, just sort of hidden.

To Rain Potter on Dec. 4th:
Citrine: Gravity Falls, Phan, Harry Potter, Slugterra (lol), The Lumberjanes (double lol) (will be updated)
Opal: I like sometimes having black clothing, but mostly I like leggings, jeans, or yoga pants for my pants, and blue or green or thing t-shirts for my shirt. I also have a semi-ugly winter sweater that's gray with snowflakes that I like because it's comfortable and also a dark blue coat that looks like a space coat that fits in a teeny tiny bag and has giant pockets. For jewelry, I don't have pierced ears so that's ruled out, I like wearing my new FORKTOPUS NECKLACE (picture coming soon) which is actually made out of an old fork, and my advent calendar charm bracelet.
Emerald: I don't know, 2000 views on my blog would be nice (hint hint wink wink nudge nudge) and also maybe more books idk

Zircon: I am a "panromantic asexual genderquestioning being of the species homo sapiens".

AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS MY TRUE LOVE GAVE TO MEEEE

Dunno. I just want to have something for a blog title. But if you know what the true love gave to me on the seventh day of Christmas, comment it.
Sooooooo I had a fun weekend. I got to go riding with my dad for around an hour and a half on Sunday. On Saturday, I got to get together with my friend and we went to dinner and played and saw some cool Christmas lights and stuff which was fun and then my little sister's friend had a sleepover with her. So I did that; and also I had a math test today. I think I did pretty well, but I'm not sure on the rotation one so really I don't know about that part of the test but anyways I get to start my social studies project today :D
I don't have much to talk about with you guys today. I don't really have much going on besides the friend coming over and the riding of the ATVs, so I can't really give you anything else on here. But a bit of exciting news: my dad might be helping start a motorcycle riding school! He's getting a deal with Honda for a lot of dirt bikes for a little money, and a deal with Tucker Rocky to get a lot of helmets and guards and stuff for cheap so that lessons can be offered. There'll be everything from basic riding to more advanced instruction and there are private lessons offered in a local OHV park. We might also partner with the Boys and Girls Club to get them to get started on riding motorcycles! It would be cool if that happens, although I think that if my dad can get an ATV deal then that would be cool, too, as a lot of people might like ATVs more than motorcycles and dirt bikes, like me. Anyways, recommended YouTuber today is going to be Crash Course because they offer cool information on a lot of cool stuff! And recommended song has to be Automagic by Televisor because it just sounds cool and stuff, anyways I have to go because I need to find synonyms for "cool" and "stuff" and also I need to work on my Social Studies project. Bai guys for nau :D

le eightieth post (did I spell that right?)

HOIY everyone. How was your Thanksgiving? How's being back in school, work, or other? DID YOU LIEK THE SNOW? My Thanksgiving break went well, with the first snow of the year and all on the first night of break... but then it melted pretty fast. (sigh.) The day after Thanksgiving, it was CHRISTMAS AT OUR HOUSE with us putting up the tree, hanging the stockings by the chimney with care with hope that St. Nicholas soon would be there, et cetera. We also now have an Elf On The Shelf named Snowflake. And two trees. Because our old tree was too tiny for our living room so now we have an EIGHT-AND-A-HALF FOOT PRE-LIT PRESTON PINE in our living room and our old tree in the bonus room. Speaking of the bonus room, it's very cold in there because of no insulation so we have to have a fire every once in a while in the little fireplace thing in the corner. It looks like it came from Victorian times, so I'm mildly worried about our house burning down. Just mildly.
In other news, SNOW SNOW SNOW is fun because it's SNOW. For the first snow, I didn't have like ANY STUFF so I couldn't go outside but now I have stuff so if the SNOW gets deep enough then I can go out and play in the SNOW! yay
Also, I need more synonyms for "also". Make mental note of that.
I've been farming my Summoners War and Clash Of Clans nonstop b/c it's fun. Short review of each app!
Clash Of Clans: You know what it is. It's one of the biggest apps of its category, and is sort of like Tower Defense-style but you also get to be offense as well. I looooooove playing it but the thing is, Gems are the key to everything, and if you don't have Gems, you have to wait for a really long time for things to be done. Like, a year. Really. And Gems cost money, a lot of money, so it's one of those paid-but-not-really apps that's fun for a while then you can't really do much because you don't have any MONEY because you already spent it all on this app. I do like the strategy and stuff, and if you're willing to wait for a while, it can be very fun. Plus, it's very detailed, and its graphics and music are just simple enough to make it cute while being detailed enough to make it interesting. There isn't really a story, just some goblins you have to beat up and stuff, but a lot of people don't do the goblin stuff and instead just fight other players. It's pretty fun to be in a Clan, but when EVERY ONE OF YOUR CLAN MEMBERS IS OFFLINE (Blurb, xiama1103, Ice, etc.), it doesn't really help you too much. And it's one of those things where you're either really low or super high in the leagues and things, so it's one way or the other, and right now I'm stuck in the lower category. I'm trying to save Gems to upgrade my Town Hall and stuff, but it's hard when the most gems you can get without buying stuff is like 25 from a Gem Box and those don't pop up all that often.
Summoners War: I got this from an ad on another app, so I didn't think it was going to be all that good... but the thing is, it IS! You are a summoner that is trying to get up to battling and stuff, and you have to train little monsters with different attack and heal spells so you can fight the bad guys! There are a couple of things I like about this game, so let's run through them:
1. The storyline. You get to be in the middle of the action, with interesting villains (for a game) and a plotline. An actual plotline. Most games don't have a story whatsoever besides the tutorial, and so it was refreshing to see an actual story.
2. The game mechanics. I really like the monsters' complicatedness (there are experience boosters, and level-ups, and runes you can add to them to give them more health or things, and stars you can level them up to, and Evolution where they get new stuff, and et cetera... the list goes on and on), and I like the different levels they have that aren't just fighting the same things over and over again. There are cool bosses, and good prizes.
3. Crystals. There are two types of crystals- red and blue- and the red ones cost money, like Gems. However, they're a lot more readily accessible than Gems, seeing as you get 2 from fighting sometimes, and you get to mine them.
4. Timing. Unlike other games, where you have to wait for your monsters to recharge and stuff, they get full health back immediately so you can keep playing. Things are summoned immediately, instead of waiting to be "built", so you can fight and battle instantly again and again. There are daily quests that you can complete, and regular ones as well, and they're simple tasks that you can do pretty easily and they actually help you play the game.
Overall, the combination of strategy, good timing, well-placed plot, and PvP fighting make it one of the best RPG style games I've ever played, and you'll like it too. It's free, by the way. The only things they could fix are the fact that it's a pretty high learning curve, and a lot of stuff just has "Preparing Update..." on it when you tap on it. Besides that, good game, would play again, 10/10/10.
Okay, so there's been a song that I've been totally obsessed with the last few days- actually, two, which is why there are two song recommendations today. The first is "Deya" by Televisor, which is really cool. It's like if someone blended together a sort of Beatles-ish lyric combo with some electronic, and it's pretty cool.
The second is called- fittingly- Second Flight by Approaching Nirvana. First off, Approaching Nirvana is pretty nice, and they make good music by themselves. But this song hits it off the charts. It's sort of trance-y and has some REALLY COOL chords, like if MrFijiWiji wrote a song and went to Approaching Nirvana and said, "Hey guys! Turn this into one of your songs! I don't want to do the work right now, plus my voice is tired!" And then there's the chord switch from HEAVEN. Seriously, that chord switch is amazing.
But wait! That's not all! There were three new My Little Pony episodes that I watched over break, so... you know the drill. I'm going to be raving for a while, so if you don't like MLP, just skip to the end of the review- it'll have lines across it.
So first there's The Mane Attraction. This was an awesome episode, and definitely a social metaphor for a lot of singers like Lady Gaga. I love the character of Rara but there are some things that I thought were a little rushed, i.e the entire episode. The dialogue wasn't very inspired or well-written, and it was basically a musical with dialogue inserted for song breaks, but it got through to the songs in just enough time for me to keep watching. Because the songs were AMAZING.
First off, "Equestria" is probably the Equestrian Anthem. If it isn't, it should become it. It's a really pretty song, and it gets stuck in heads easily. Apparently the writer was inspired by the song "America", so yeah, I'm going to say it's called "Equestria". So what if Rara the filly sounds like an adult? It's still a cool song. And her Cutie Mark is so cool :D
Secondly, "The Spectacle" was actually not bad. I mean, it could have been a better song given how good Rara's singing is shown to be, and the Autotune HURTS MY EARS, but it's still not a bad song besides that. Sure, it's showy, and the effects are a bit much, but just the audio isn't bad.
Then, the last one: "The Magic Inside". THIS ONE IS AWESOME. It's just so- so- so- s- IT'S GOOD!
There. That's over with. That's pretty much the entire episode. The songs. Yeah, it wasn't a big hit with me.
Then we have episodes 25 and 26. I think. Anyway, parts 1 and 2 of "The Cutie Re-Mark" are SO COOL. I love the timelines. All the timelines. And this is a kid's show. That's covering time, paradoxes, and the butterfly effect. My favorite by a long shot is the Crystal War AU because of DASH. I've even made an AU based off of that timeline. It's called the Rebel Dash AU. It's pretty cool, if I do say so myself. The Chrysalis takeover timeline isn't bad either. And it raises a lot of questions like what Zecora knows about time, since she seemed to know something about the fact that they were time travelers. Oh, and about the Crystal War timeline: why does Rainbow have a nicked ear, a scar on her eye, and a bionic wing?! Also, we never see their Cutie Marks, which raises some questions about what their Cutie Marks are and just Cutie Marks in general. For example, in my AU, they get different Cutie Marks for different things, but what would it really be? It couldn't be what they got originally, because they never learned that they had to do those things that would get them their Cutie Marks (for example, Applejack never returned home because that was where she was "supposed to be"), so she never got her three-apple Cutie Mark, right? So what the heck is her Cutie Mark? Is she a blank-flank? Does she have the same Cutie Mark because she did come home, just for a different reason (because of the war and she needed to make rations), or does she have a different Cutie Mark because of a different skill she showed? I don't know, what're your thoughts? Write them in the comments or email me, because I want your input!
More about the episode. I enjoy the fact that some minor villains got more screen time and it showed how bad things would really be. For example, one main complaint with Sombra is that he was just a "looming darkness" that never really did anything. But with the new timeline, we saw what would have happened if he had won and been brought back with the Crystal Empire. He still didn't talk, though- maybe they couldn't get somebody to play the voice they wanted to pick out. But enough of the Crystal War- Applejack turning into Queen Chrysalis was BEYOND SCARY. Ugh! *shudders*
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One last thing after the review that's pony-related: why do all non-bronies judge us by the fact that our theme song sucks? It's not like we wrote it, plus, we don't like it either. Trust us. We hate it.
Recommended YouTuber today is Element Animation. I know that I've probably recommended them here before, but I still like their work because it's really funny and stuff. Seriously, it'll make you snicker. Guiltily.
I really want mint chocolate chip ice cream. Bye, guys! Off to get some MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM! I have to go back to school now! I'll try to post not once a week!







Gracc....
wait....
Mysterious voice? Who are you?
Call me "mysterious voice", it's a lot more mysterious than I am...
Okay, mysterious voice. What is it?
You forgot something...
Oh yeah! The Gravity Falls episode!
And something else...
Wait! Phil is not on fire! Seven!
Yep, there you go. I'm off to go mysterious someone else.
Okay! Bye, Mr. Mysterious Voice!

Well, there you have it, guys! I need to do that now!
Gravity Falls first off. That was AWESOME. Mabel's bubble is a diabolical, mind-shatteringly glittery prison. It's amazing and yet it's terrible. And the only thing I can say about the dreaded character that must not be named is that he is TERRIBLE. Especially once you see Subway. Eat Fresh. Dippy Fresh.
Also, someone paused at the right moment with Bill with his arms and legs up, and someone else photoshopped him onto a waterslide. Gosh darn you, Tumblr. God save you, Tumblr. On Tumblr as well, someone noted that Dipper survived twelve days in Weirdmageddon and thought he was hardcore. Oh, foolish, naive person. Don't you know what Dipper's done before? And also, Mabel's paradise turning into slimy, writhing maggots was HORRIFIC. Wait, were those maggots? I don't know, they sort of looked like the fuzzy caterpillars from Into The Bunker. But yeah, that was Weirdmageddon II. I cannot wait for the last installment! It's una hora long (one hour) and coming in 2016! However, it's the very last episode of Gravity Falls, ever. Which makes me sad beyond belief. So sad. Like looking through photos of your best friend, who's going to die and you can't save them. SO SAD. Buuuuuuut it's going to be one hour long so that's gonna be fun! Plus, it's next year. Actually...
This is the last hiatus in Gravity Falls.
Ever.
D: SOUND THE ALARM

Well, onto PINOF 7!
This was awesome. It was my very first PINOF being in the Phandom, so it holds special significance to me. It was "friendship yoga" which was awesome, but now I can't wait for the next one D:


Now I can be off to create Dan and Phil as ponies! Bai everyone!

HELLO FELLOW HUMANITY

Hey everyone! I decided to post today so I am going to do that. Yay! First of all, I'm going to show you some pictures of when I went ATV riding a week or so ago because you haven't seen them yet.

 Me riding in the mud

After (the red ATV is mine, the green dirt bike is my dad's)

So there ya go! Pictures galore! Or two!

Next thing: I'm sorry about the Contesta. I have NOT had time to look at da pictures yet. I will have time, however. As soon as I get my phone back.

Third thing: I made a cool list of people with synesthesia from EVERYWHERE!

• Me (obviously)
• Vinyl Scratch. I know it might sound sort of crazy, but in the Rainbow Rocks short "Music To My Ears", she shows some primary signs of having synesthesia, so analyst me went full beast mode on it and tracked down other places. So yeah, synesthesia has Vinyl Scratch.
• Duke Ellington
• Vincent Van Gogh
• Lady Gaga
• Franz Liszt

So yeah! Those are some of the people that have synesthesia. Turns out I keep good company.

Also, RESTAURANT RECOMMENDATION! Corner Cafe makes SUPER GOOD STUFF. I recommend the panini with chicken and provolone in it called the Chicken Pomodori. It's really good. Also they make really good lemon pound cake. And good baby chocolate bundts. They're just an all-around good restaurant. I got some hot chocolate and it was SO NUMMY! *nom nom* They have locations all over the US so you can find ones easily!

One more thing- the song and YouTuber. For the song today, Panic! At The Disco- Victorious. It's sort of emo-y so if you don't like emo-y stuff then don't listen to it. If you know Panic! At The Disco, all of their songs are sort of emo-y but I don't mind them. YouTuber is mmmmmmmmmm- how about ACRacebest. I know I probably recommended him before, but I still like Bronies React- can you blame me?

Welp, that's about it for today, guys! See ya next time on TBLOR! (Come to think of it, TBLOR rolls off the tongue pretty well. The B-L combination works extremely well)- OH WAIT I NEED TO GIVE YOU SOME STUFF ABOUT MY LIFE SORRY WAIT ONE SEC

Okay. What happened today:

My sister's parent-teacher conference (mine's tomorrow morning. *bites nails)

Lots of waiting because my dad needed to get some work done with the "drawer" and stuff

Going to places like Walmart and Hobby Lobby and feeling sad that you couldn't buy any of the stuff there

That's pretty much it. Sorry that I almost forgot! But really, for realsies, goodbye this time. I shall return!

-racartiara

oh hi everyone i'm not dead sorry

I was going to get something called sleep, but then I remembered you guys haven't gotten a post in like NINE DAYS so...
Snow! I like it! We got six inches here (the night that Thanksgiving break started, no less), and I can't wait to savor every bit of it! It looks so pretty from my room, where I can see the ENTIRE POND that's freezing over because it was 17 degrees today! Fahrenheit, by the way. I live in America. Don't know what that is in Celsius. Maybe 32 meters? (yeah, no.)
Also, I GOT MY PHONE BACK FINALLY for like a day and a half-ish and now it's been taken "indefinitely" again. Hopefully that means tomorrow? Yeah, sounds accurate.
I'm extremely sorry I haven't posted in a while. I haven't really had much interesting stuff to post about, but then it snowed and I thought Gotta post today! Today! today? Tomorrow. This went on until I decided I had enough and just did it. So now I'm posting! Also, I went to an awesome place where I had something called "black and white pancakes" that were chocolate chip pancakes with a chocolate-whipped-cream-drizzle and LOADS of both milk and white chocolate chips on top. It was SO SCRUMPTIOUS, I didn't even need syrup! It was good enough by itself! That's not something I EVER SAY EVER so they were really good obviously!
So winter is the season of colds and stuff, so I thought you should know how I cure a sore throat!
1. Get hot water.
2. Get some mild tea that people don't usually use.
3. Put the tea in for a little bit.
4. Add some honey! Just a drizzle, or more if you want :3
5. Drink.
There you go! It's nice! Also, my immune system is going FULL WINTER BEAST MODE on those cold viruses, and I'm not getting any colds! My nose is clear as crystal and my sinuses are normal; thankfully. Our bonus room was getting chilly for obvious reasons like

• it isn't insulated whatsoever
• it's 17 degrees Fahrenheit outside

so we had to fix the little woodburning fireplace thingy to make it much warm! Thankfully it worked, or we would be real chilly in there, and that's where my library is that's supposed to hold all my books but holds maybe half of all my books because the rest are scattered throughout the house!
Also, did you know that Katy Perry got it wrong? Tigers don't roar at all, they make a series of agitated sounds. But Taylor Swift got it right... she is a nightmare. Not dressed as a daydream though, dressed as Taylor Swift.
YouTuber today is Joey Graceffa. Cool guy really.
Going with that theme, song is Don't Wait by Joey Graceffa.
Welp, not much to say besides that! bye guys :D

-racartiara

IT HAS BEEN A TIME OF LONG

So I'm posting this new post because I haven't really posted in a while. All just updates of stuff like things and recipes. So I felt sorry that I hadn't updated you on my life in a while.
My friends are sick
My friends have lunch detentions and after-school detentions
My friends
my friends
Okay, I'm sorry, guys, but really nothing at all has happened in my life since I posted last! It's been very banal. The regular forms-turned-in, et cetera, la di da. There hasn't been anything interesting. I just need to turn in my form today and Monday and have it all signed, then I get my new toys, yay! That's pretty much the only interesting thing that's happened. Seriously, let me give you my daily itinerary thing:

--itinerary deleted because my dad's a jerk that won't let me put a schedule of what I do for "internet safety" even though I know so much more about internet safety than he does and I do try to be internet safe like not saying where I live-
Here's the shortened version:

Wake up.
School.
Get home.
Dinner.
Games.
Bed.

(does that make you happy, Dad?)


So, I guess, that's the schedule? Does that count for posting stuff about my life?
I hope so, because SONG RECOMMENDATION IS DROPTEK- THE COVENANT and YOUTUBER RECOMMENDATION IS FLIMFLAMPHILOSOPHY (sp. error maybe)
AND THAT'S ALL FOR TODAY FOLKS
ALSO WE LISTENED TO STEREO HEARTS BY GYM CLASS HEROES IN CLASS AND IT TRIGGERED AWESOME YET BITTERSWEET FLASHBACKS
So yeah that's what's happened bye

Benches!

I'm on the bus, going on a BAND TOUR (le fun has had) except I have to ride with Percussion and Brass (most of which are annoying). I'm going to spend half a day behind percussionists with drumsticks. Yay, I'm sure that won't drive me crazy. Thankfully, I have a couple brass friends, but pretty much ALL MY FRIENDS ARE WOODWINDS. (I need a t-shirt saying that.) I'm going to make this short so that I can still publish it while we're in front of the school, so just recommendation song today is So Fabulous by Roomie, who is recommended YouTuber today. It's a song about Pewdiepie, who if you haven't heard of, you are under a rock. Or under a roc, in which case, try not to get carried off by that giant bird. Bye!
-racartiara

OH HEY THERE

Care to join me for a cup of tea AT 1:00 AM?! Yeah, I'm up late, I know, please don't get on me about it. I wanted to post more about my SYNTHESIA! This is now a cool FAQ page for my synthesia!
General facts about it:

• It isn't too common, but scientists think everyone has it at birth and most lose it over time.
• Basically, it deals with sense mixups. Most of them are a sense linked to sight, for example when you hear a sound you see a shape, but there have been cases documented of someone who, when he tastes certain foods, feels the sensation of objects being placed in his hands. Weird, right?
• Everyone's colors can be different, and there are lots of different types, like sight-sight (as weird as it sounds, that's actually one; if you see a word for example it's in color), sight-sound, taste-sight, etc.

Facts about MINE!

• I have colored words and colored sounds. Don't ask me to eat a ton of chocolate and ask if I see anything. Although I wouldn't object to lots of chocolate.
• I remember people a lot by pairing colors with names, names with faces, and colors with faces. Basically, I see someone and when I hear their name, I know that it's a certain color, for example, light green. Then, I assign an "aura" around them, which is the color of their name. Then, when I see their face, I remember their name based on their aura. It's a lot simpler in practice, believe me.
• Different sounds have different colors of course, and then because of this, songs have colors. I usually avoid songs with orange and brown colors, and go more for green, blue, and purple, although there are quite a few songs with mainly orange, brown, and red that I like as well.
• It often looks like colors laid out in front of me, dipping and changing with their pitches. For example, a bass drop: It might start off pretty high up, then go over a hill and "drop", where it turns darker. For example, I listened to a really good song earlier with a blue bass track, and it turned darker when it dropped, almost midnight blue.
• It isn't something that I can control, and I was born with it. You can't learn synthesia. Sorry for everyone who doesn't have it.

frequently asked Questions:

Q: does it hurt?

A: no. not at all, actually.

Q: are you sure this isn't totally made up?

A: YES. I AM SURE.

Q: what does my name look like?

A: COMMENT YOUR NAME I WILL ANSWER

Q: does it hurt?

A: AGAIN, NO. NOT AT ALL.

Q: how does this affect you?

A: I like listening to Dubstep more than the average human. That's pretty much it.

Q: What do you see when you're listening to a song around you?

A: well, I obviously see the song, and I also see some other stuff. like, I ride the bus and I see people's auras pouring from their seats, and when someone isn't there, I can see a projection of them, colored like their aura, in the seat where they sit.

Q: so it really doesn't hurt?

A: NO!

Q: you sure?

A: YES I AM SURE! I AM DONE WITH YOUR QUESTIONS! *stalks out*

So yeah, that went swimmingly! Wasn't kidding about the comments thing though.

Bye! To sleep!

Recipipies!

So it's getting colder (in the Northern Hemisphere anyways) and so I decided to share some of my tried-and-true recipes for good warm drinks, and some cold ones too (for those of you viewing in the Southern Hemisphere, where it's getting warmer). So here they are! Refer to them when you want to!

~LE WARM DRINKS~

Yummy Apple Cider

• 1 glass mug
• Apple cider
• Cinnamon
• Nutmeg
• Sugar (optional)
• Caramel (you can get the liquid bottle of stuff)

1. Fill the mug 3/4 of the way with apple cider.

2. Add around half a tablespoon of caramel.

3. Add one shake of cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg.

4. If you want sweet apple cider, pour in 3/4 tbsp of sugar. (Optional)

5. Stir well.

6. Heat in microwave for 55 seconds on high, or just eyeball how warm you want your cider to be.

7. Stir again after removing from microwave (to break up particles that formed).

8. Enjoy!

Mmm, Hot Chocolate

• 1 glass mug
• Milk
• Cocoa
• Liquid chocolate (like Hershey's, for ice cream)
• Sugar
• Peppermint oil (optional)
• Marshmallows (optional)

1. Fill mug 3/4 of the way with milk.

2. Add 1/2 tbsp of cocoa!

3. Add 1/4 tbsp of sugar.

4. Add around 1/2 tbsp of liquid chocolate.

5. If you want cocoa that doesn't burn your mouth when hot (at least not as much), add 1/4 tsp of peppermint oil.

6. Heat in microwave for 55 seconds on high, or just eyeball it based on how hot you want your chocolate.

7. Stir well after removing from microwave to break cocoa particles.

8. Enjoy! (with or without marshmallows)

~LE COLD DRINKS~

Tropical Punch

• 1 cup/bowl/etc.
• Orange juice
• Mango juice
• Lemon juice
• Lime juice
• Pineapple juice
• Sugar

NOTE: Since this recipe can be used in many circumstances, assume that the amounts here are for one person. If you want to make this for a party with twenty people for example I recommend making fifteen times this, because one person drinks a lot more than twenty people will, and the twenty people will try to be polite and let others have punch. You know what, as a general note, this is for one person, and for a party, make 75% times the number of people (like for 20 people make fifteen times the recipe if that isn't too confusing). Happy partying!

1. Add 3/4 cup of mango juice.

2. Add 1/2 cup of orange juice.

3. Add one squirt of lemon juice and lime juice respectively.

4. Add in 1/4 cup pineapple juice.

5. Add 1 tsp sugar.

6. Stir well!

7. Enjoy, preferably served in a coconut with a straw on a beach somewhere in the Bahamas.

BLOOD (not really, but it looks like it.)

• Watermelon juice
• Cherry juice
• White grape juice
• Red wine of choice (if you want it to be alcoholic, and you are over 21)

NOTE: Same rule applies to this drink as to the Tropical Punch.

1. Add 1/2 cup watermelon juice.

2. Add 3/4 cup cherry juice.

3. Add 1/4 cup white grape juice.

4. If you want it to be alcoholic, add around 1/8 cup of red wine (or to make it stronger, tone down how much of the other juices you add and add mostly red wine).

5. Mix well.

6. If it isn't your desired red...

a. Make it redder by adding more dark cherry juice or maybe red wine, or red food dye if you want it to be really red.

b. Make it less red by adding more watermelon and white grape juice.

7. Enjoy, preferably served in a wineglass at a fancy table while sitting in a coffin with a long black cloak and pale white skin.

So there are the recipes!

Also, since this is also my daily post (not much has happened), recommendations!

Youtuber: SciShow (for cool sciency stuff, obviously).

Song: Self Destruct by Pegboard Nerds. If I get a YouTube channel, parts of this will be my intro, hopefully.

Bai :D :3

LE CONTESTA

I am holding a PHOTO CONTEST! I'm going to have you guys send in photos, I'll edit them, and then the general public can vote! If you want, I can just edit a photo; it doesn't have to be entered. A similar copy of this thingy is in Google+ if you're in my "Friends" circle. So now that that's out of the way, some stuff happened:

1. My lil' sis got pneumonia and had to be HOSPITALIZED. (Dun dun dun!)

2. I got my phone back... I think, anyways.

3. I had a half day today, Thursday, and tomorrow, I don't have school! Then two full weeks, then thanksgiving break! Yay!

That's pretty much the summary...

Song today is Here It Comes by Pegboard Nerds. I've been picking out new ones for you to listen to, so...

YouTuber is gonna be. Hm. Madventures7 is the name (I think), Minecraft, Agario, Growtopia, and probably some others are his game(s). He is one of my friends, online and in real life, so check 'im out!

See you. Sorry this was really short. I should get to bed.

Oh one more thing! I got really into a series called The Lumberjanes! It's ewally funny and great :D soyeahbye

-gracc

Turkey

I don't know, Thanksgiving?
Hey everyone! I HAVE A LLAMACORN! It's a llama and a unicorn and my dreams come true. It's white with green stripes and it has two tails! It's very pretty :D I'll get a picture as soon as I can. This is for everyone that didn't read the last one.
So yeh, that's that, I don't really know what I wanted to- OH! 1500 PAGEVIEWS! THAT WAS THE IMPORTANT NEWS!
Oh, yeah. We have one thousand five hundred pageviews. 1504 right now, though. I'm going to re-recommend this place to everyone I know so that I can get more pageviews! Cheap? Definitely! Good strategy? Yes! (just kidding, I'm just going to tell everyone that doesn't know yet.)
So yeah, I didn't have anything to say besides that. I had a sausage wrapped in a pancake on a stick today for breakfast. It was good. Congratulations.

Youtuber today is-hmm- BuzzfeedVideo, because they make cool experimenty things that are social. Yeah. that's pretty much what it is. It's cool.
Song? I have to say-err-how about Pizza Rolls by Shawn Wasabi. I'm sorry, guys, I've failed you. I can't listen to more music or anything with the TERRIBLE BAN ON ALL THINGS ELECTRONIC (I'm posting this from school, trying not to get caught), so I haven't been able to get you new music. Extreme sad face on that. Oh, one more thing, our family photos are up on the photographer's website! I won't tell you who the photographer was because you would check their website, sign up, and see me and my family and our approximate location! Because I have BLUE HAIR and it's pretty hard to miss that! So I'm sorry, photographer. I can't advertise because it'll give away who I really am, behind the screen, behind the Net, behind the... Never mind. Too much philosophy. I'm off to research countries and their exports!
Cya!

Flop

Hey everyone! First, after-school detention wasn't as bad as I thought it would be- I could read and stuff (yay). Second, HOW WAS YOUR HALLOWEEN? Mine was soggy. It was drizzling/misting/raining the entire trick-or-treating time, but I still got a boatload of candy! I should have around maybe nine pounds of candy now, if my calculations are correct. Seriously. I got that much. One house in my neighborhood gave out TWO FULL-SIZE CANDY BARS for you. I got a Hershey's and a Crunch (yum). My favorite type of candy is Butterfinger- what's yours? Third, today, November 1st, we rode our Mule (a UTV, a Honda Pioneer). It was REALLY FUN, and a weensy bit scary too, but it wasn't too bad. Now I'm waiting for Wizard101 to load so that I can play it. My sister, who we just recently found out has a red-dye allergy and tightened lungs, is going to watch television. I liked the day after Halloween more than Halloween, sort of ironically. The song "Would You Still Love Me The Same" (that's the chorus anyway) came on the radio and gave me flashbacks- good ones, to the dance. The dance was REALLY FUN and I still can't get over it. Also, people in our neighborhood are really weird- one guy gave me chips and a Capri Sun, and another guy gave me microwave popcorn. (Odd.) That's pretty much what I have to say- also, I got a little llamacorn cool figurine thing that's like a llama and a unicorn. It's white with green stripes on its sides, and it has two tails! It's cool! I don't have anything else to say, except for the fact that the recommended YouTuber today is- hmm- let's say Logdotzip. I haven't been on YouTube lately because of my no-electronics ban (it was repealed today). But anyways, Logdotzip is a cool Minecrafter that plays Minecraft and stuff. Recommended song? "Would You Still Love Me The Same" (again, that's the chorus, if you look it up it'll probably come up, I was just lazy). So, yeah, gotta play the Wizard One-oh-one! See ya!

Drab (70th Post guys!)

NOTE: As the title says, this is my seventieth post! (did I say that right? don't know.) And because it's the 70th post, I have to GO LIKE THIS SO THAT YOU'LL SEE IT!

WE ARE ON OUR SEVENTIETH POST!

There we go. Note over.

Hey everyone! I write to you again. I'm not dead. Not while I'm writing this post, at least. I think of someone looking at this post in seventy years, tears streaming down their face...

TOO SAD. MOVING ON.

Anyways, I wrote that A DAY AGO I think. I have new updates and stuff for you to hear.
First, I need to advertise this because it is a good thing :D
So my friend from school has a cousin with a baby, and the baby's name is Keira, and she has something called osteogenesis imperfecta (oss-tee-oh-jen-iss-iss imm-prr-feck-tah) and it's where her bones are really brittle. She has type 3. We're talking about if she sneezes in the wrong position, she could die. They need lots of moneys to pay for the treatment, so they started a thing on Go Fund Me so that people could donate! I'm gonna donate some, and if you think it's worthy enough, the page is here:
https://www.gofundme.com/supportkeira
So yeah, besides that, I also sprained my left pinkie toe. It hurts (a LOT) but at least I got to get out of PE class, right?
In science, my phone got taken away (sad face) and I didn't get to do labs (sad face) because I forgot to get a form from my 1st period teacher (sad face) and I have an after-school detention for lying to her earlier (super sad face). That's tomorrow.
Now that that's over with, have you SEEN the newest Gravity Falls?! IT IS CRAZY, I TELL YOU! CRAZY! The villain takes over, it's REALLY WEIRD, and it ends on a FLIPPING CLIFFHANGER. I can tell you EXACTLY how mad I am that they ended it on a CLIFFHANGER. VERY, VERY MAD. Also, the intro... What happened...
Here's the normal one (watch it first): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtlX1pujSr4
Here's the Bill-ified one (shivers): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWvdqkl2UH4
Yeah, there's a difference. The difference between strange and sTRAnG-
THIS IS BILL CIPHER SPEAKING.
I AM INSIDE YOUR MIND RIGHT NOW.
I AM WRITING THIS FROM THE BODY OF THE FEMALE WITH THE PSEUDONYM RACARTIARA.
HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaa-
e. Sorry, guys, I blanked out, for a minute. What happened?

Besides that, not much really has happened- oh wait. Hearthbreakers came out.
Hearthbreakers is a good episode, and I really like it. I don't have as much to say because the new Gravity Falls came out too, but it was still a good episode, and I really loved the Pinkie Pie/Applejack comparison, family stuff, et cetera. I TOTALLY SHIP Big Mac and Marble Pie, by the way. Then Pinkie and Applejack will definitely be related, and not just maybe. But if they're related, then is it wrong for MarbleMac to be a ship? I don't know, so I'm shipping it.
Besides that, not much has happened. I'm just working on my homework right now. Halloween is just around the corner, by the way. I'm being a MAGICAL WARRIOR FAIRY PRINCESS AWESOME FLAME THING WITH A BOW AND THORN CROWN if you were wondering. The blue hair goes nicely with it.
And I have a picture not showing my face though!

Here we go, the blue hair!

Yes, I am a Smurf, I'm aware. YEs, I'm a Cookie Monster, I'm aware. YES, I'm Joy from Inside Out, I'm aware. NO, I AM NOT GOING AS SADNESS FROM INSIDE OUT FOR HALLOWEEN, I'M AWARE!

On the upside, people have been giving me comments about my hair- positive ones. Although my brain gave me a dream last night where I had normal hair and stuff and my friends had wings and I was really jealous. Guess it's warning me about not having an inflated ego.

That's pretty much all for today! Hopefully, HOPEFULLY, I'll post tomorrow. I'll try, anyway. Lunch detention or bust for your very own racartiara.

BYE!

tee hee

minipost! i changed the colors and fonts on the blog! do u like? comnt below!

Heinous

NOTE: Hey guys! This is an UPDATE POST, which means no recommendations! Those were in the other post I published today!

Hey everyone! I wanted to make a post that wasn't all history and advertising, so here you go! 

Today's the DANCE! It's my first real school dance, not counting the "sock hop" that was for the eighties theme for my old principal's birthday (more about that later), so I'm excited! I have a really cool outfit for it, even though we weren't allowed to wear our Halloween costume. It's a Halloween-themed party, for goodness' sake! LET US WEAR OUR COSTUMES! Still, I have a cool outfit to wear, so I'm not complaining too much.

I've been reading a book called A Mango-Shaped Space by Wendy Mass, and it's a really good book! It deals with a person who has synthesia (spelling probably bad but idk) which means that she sees colored shapes when she hears stuff and she sees letters and names in different colors. I think I have the colored letter thing, but it manifests itself in different ways than hers does in the book. If you want to see what color a word is, COMMENT PLEASE and then I'll reply to you :D. Anyways, the book is also about the loss of a pet, which I went through when I lost my dog last year... Labor Day last year was when we had to put him to sleep. It was really hard for me, and she emulates that perfectly. I loved the book and hope you'll read it too!

I have the Diamond Tiara vs. Pipsqueak for President song from "Crusaders Of The Lost Mark" stuck in my head. I'll put it here so that I have a valid reason.

This should be the right one!

Anyways, the dance is the biggest thing since sliced bread. Or does that go different? I don't remember.

Also! Today's the end of the quarter for me, which is a BIG DEAL! I'm 1/4 of the way through the school year! I can do it! Did you know that temperatures in Canada can drop to -25 degrees C or -13 degrees F! That's cold... Brr. I AM ASKING A QUESTION: WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO THIS WINTER? ANSWER IN THE COMMENTS PLEASE! :D

That's all for today. If you're wondering where the recommendations are, I advise you to READ THE TOP OF THE POST. I PUT A NOTE THERE.

I'm in Social Studies, writing this post as everyone's talking about saying "Here" when there's a sub. Today's the day that I present in World Languages! We're talking about the Stamp Act and the Revolutionary War. It's very interesting. Can you believe that in the so-called Boston "Massacre", only 5 people were killed and 4 were wounded? Also, the officers weren't hearing the directions to "Fire!" from their commander, they were hearing the colonists' shouts of "Fire!" because there was a fire going on that night. Because of the misunderstanding, an 11-year-old kid was killed! They should really use something like "Shoot!" or "Attack!" so that it doesn't happen again...
Lunch detention today. It won't be fun, but it won't be the worst thing in the world, either. I just wish I could talk with my friends, but I sent my science teacher an e-mail saying I was sorry and she said "Apology accepted", which can't be a bad sign. Still doing the detention, but she will hopefully refrain from further punishment. Also, the lunch detention helped me escape further punishment at home... Whew!
The Stamp Act was repealed in 1766 apparently, because they didn't want a Civil War in the colonies... Britain, you did it wrong. After that they taxed paint, lead, paper, glass, and tea in the Townshend acts (pronounced town-shend, not towns-hend like I thought at first) which they called "duties" instead of "taxes", so they technically weren't taxing us... right?
This is turning into the Learning Channel. I like talking about my classes, though; I hope you're learning stuff!
Did you know that they'll be sending people to Mars by 2030 or earlier?! They'll be sending robots and rovers earlier to scout and build the hab units before the people get there, so that they don't have to wait. It'll take about a year for them to get over there, then the rover will pick them up and take them to the hab units. I would sign up... except the thing is, right now it's a one-way trip. They wouldn't go back- ever. New people will be sent every 2 years, and the colony will grow. Like the american colonies, kind of. It'll be cool, and supply ships will come yearly so that they won't run out of stuff! They'll design their own buildings and stuff, and they will grow their own food as well, so that they won't have to have food shipped over too. Think about it... By 2035, wheat will be growing on Mars! It's really exciting, but I won't be going until you can get back. I don't want to die on Mars. Also, there will be a satellite around Mars that contacts Earth so you could FaceTime your family. I wonder how much cellular data you'd need to watch a YouTube video on Mars? Maybe they'll have wi-fi, free for everyone that comes over! That would be cool! Also, you wouldn't really have to have a job, except to help people with Mars stuff and things. I wonder what it would be like! Maybe I'll find out...
Anyways,

Hey everyone! Next day! Sorry that I didn't post this yesterday; I just didn't have a lot of time, sry D:
I forgot what I was talking about. Erm, uh... I forget. SHAMELESS ADVERTISING TIME!

On October 23-25, the Children's Theatre of Elgin (in Elgin, Illinois) is presenting the play The Adventures Of Aladdin! On the 23rd and 24th, the show is at 7:30 PM, and on the 25th, it's at 2:00 PM. It's $12 for adults and $10 for children and seniors, and it's at the Hemmens Cultural Center on 45 Symphony Way, Elgin, IL, zip code 60120. If you can come, please do! It's supposed to be REALLY GOOD!

Also, have you ever heard of DEATH BATTLE?! They're a video gaming channel that takes characters from video games, television shows, and movies and pits them against each other in a DEATH BATTLE! Characters like Mario, Peach, Luigi, Tails, Zelda, Link, Starscream, and Rainbow Dash are all competitors. Each battle starts off by listing each competitor's strengths and weaknesses, and then they battle. It's sort of like Epic Rap Battles Of History, but it's sort of different. (The channel that makes Death Battle, ScrewAttack!, is the recommended YouTuber this time, and the song Epic Rap Battles Of History: Mozart vs. Skrillex is the recommended song.) Also, have you heard of the website vat19.com? They sell really cool sciencey stuff like levitrons that levitate stuff up to 12 oz, and GIANT GUMMY BEARS WEIGHING 26 POUNDS! Sorry that this is turning into the Advertising Channel; I just have a lot of enthusiasm for LEVITATION OH MY GOSH

Anyways, after this long-winded history advertising post, I gotta go! bai for now :)

Grape

I'm currently in choir class. We're supposed to be doing note name theory practice, but I already know EVERY SINGLE NOTE NAME because I played piano for like 5+ years-ish... So I'm writing this instead.
I started a new story because I finished Hiago. It's a realistic fiction story about a girl named Rachel and her friend Star. I won't give you more detail than that yet, because I don't really know any more detail than that yet, but I'm working on it! 5 pages so far; wish me luck!

Now it's after school; we had to go. I have a detention; *sigh* it won't be too too bad. It's sort of water off a duck's back to me now; teachers yell at me so much that I sort of forget about it. Anyways, I was just typing randomly here; I had to say i was doing my homework and I was listening to a list of best songs of my little pony, so here it is

omens are always weird because they're weird and sometimes bad and sometimes... sometimes... er, they're good but not usually because i know they are bad so I know for absolute certain that everything is certainly fine lerl ler leefilfmcleij filel feifiesmf Jfojsdfifm AIIII mob AI has been improved in minecraft but it apparently is... not too good. because there are new stuff, they're not as good as they could have been. so anyways, I have to be tortured by barbaric dictators in the state of the th e the the the the the Democratic Republic Of The Congo. aflkjsfd;sflkjsfdssdflkjJdfisk lutefisk lefse lesfe leleserJeabba the Hutt! hehe why?

I hope its this day aria!!! trixie is cuuuuuuuuute OMG YESSSSSS IT WAS THIS DAY ARIA!!!! I LOVE THIS DAY ARIA! I WAS SINGING IT TODAY!

I really was singing This Day Aria today. I'll put it in here:

AMAZING SINGING, by the way.

I really LOVE this song's aesthetic; its duality really makes for a good song, and it's one of my favorites! Comment on zis post if you agree; and I don't have time for too much, just saying that the recommended YouTuber is Jerry Peet. I've been watching his videos; they're really funny :D

Recommended song? THIS DAY ARIA. JUST PLAY THE CLIP.

Rain

(It's not raining or anything, it's just a random word, ok? also, Rain Potter is an awesome person; check her out on Google+)

Hey guys! I'm at school right now but I'm still typing. (such a gangsta, I know.) Everyone's been freaking out about my BLUE HAIR! It's really blue and people are saying it's kinda purple on top too; I obviously couldn't tell. We're learning about Day Of The Dead- Dia De Los Muertos- in World Languages... and my classmates are being annoying. *sigh* *tries to hair flip* *fails hair flip because my hair's too short*
You know, I didn't realize it before because I had a teacher that was actually from Spain, but it is so annoying when people pronounce things wrong, and you just want to go "IT'S NOT PII-CADO! IT'S PICAH-DO!" Especially when they're the teacher of the class.
Anyways, I'm sorry about posting this, because you're going to get your hopes up and then get them dashed when I don't write every day anymore. Sorry, guys D:
Anyways, did you know THESE EXCITING FACTS ABOUT DIA DE LOS MUERTOS?!

• Marigolds are the flowers of the deceased, and graves are often decorated with them
• Family members bring fragrant foods that the person liked in the hope that their spirit will come out of the grave and smell the food
• People don't usually eat sugar skulls, they eat pan de muertos (bread of the dead), which is sweet bread that tastes REALLY GOOD! Sugar skulls are usually decorative instead of treats, sort of like pumpkins on Halloween here in America.
• Pan de muertos is usually decorated with skeleton skulls and bones because of its name.
• Tamales are also eaten during the celebrations (and the rest of the year).
• People usually have offerings for the dead, with things on it like favorite toys, photographs, and soap, water, and a towel for the dead to cleanse themselves.
• Papel picado, cut tissue paper that is brightly colored, decorates many homes.
• Candles are lit to help the deceased find their homes on this day.
• Many families have altars where they honor the dead in general with food and drink and stuff.

So ends the facts because we're done talking about that lol :P
Recommended YouTube channel is called Jingle Jeff I believe because it's just sort of creeeeeepy... ...
... I don't know.
Recommended song today is Astronomia by Tony Igy and Proximity. It's so cool :D And not creepy at all!
Anyways, i gotta go because we have to work on our country project! Gracc-e-do OUT!

2 POSTS IN ONE DAY?! GRACC, ARE YOU CRAZY? Nope, just an update.
1. I'm not going to see Dan and Phil D,: My parents said it wouldn't be worth the $25, and to be honest, I sort of agree with them on that. I wouldn't be able to talk to them or anything, just take one picture for like 5 seconds and then get a pre-signed copy of the book. Instead, I'm getting the book from the library, which is awesome because nobody goes to our library, yet it still has a load of books for everyone so I'll get it superfast.
2. Marrionette went home. Miss you already, girl!
3. Family photos were taken at a cool park place. It seemed a bit micromanagey at first, but it was all right. I also got an awesome shot of me looking into the distance (the river which was right behind the camera), which I'm excited to see! 2 weeks, guys!
4. I SAW THE NEW EPISODES OF MLP. I was caught up until the episode "Brotherhooves Social". I think that episodes 17 and 18 have a lot of good background character development, and I'm glad for that. (note: if you do not watch mlp, skip this; it won't make any sense) I was glad to see development in Big Mac, who has sort of been a blank slate throughout the series (except for the *shudder* hearts and hooves day episode. so much wrong with that episode, starting with the fact that they think that a stallion should be based on looks alone...), and so I was happy to hear him talk and have more development. In episode 18, Crusaders Of The Lost Mark, it was marking the 5-year anniversary of MLP:FIM's first airing. I was SO EXCITED that they did SO MUCH in one episode! I was loving the "Magical Mystery Cure" vibe with the musicals and stuff, and I liked that they addressed so much territory that hadn't been. It's a relief to see Diamond Tiara having family problems and not just being a one-dimensional bully character created to pick on the Crusaders for being blank-flanks. I also loved that Silver Spoon stood up for herself after SO MUCH CRINGE from me over the stuff that's happened. They went into a political election, which is interesting, and at the end, they got their Cutie Marks- to help other ponies get their cutie marks....? That sort of confused me at first, but I get it. They get to keep doing what they have been, which is helping other ponies, and earning Cutie Marks. The only difference is the marks being earned aren't theirs. I absolutely LOVED the montage of all of their attempts at the end of the episode, and although I wish the design had been a bit simpler, I like the symbols in it and concluded that if I had to re-design their marks, I really wouldn't change a thing! The symbols in the middle represent their talents as through "The Show Stoppers", and the tri-tone background symbolises their triad of greatness! I loved, loved, LOVED the reprise at the end, because it showed their sisters and how proud they were. (I have concluded that Scoots is going to be adopted by Rainbow Dash, simply because it's awesome to think of it that way.) I really liked their theme song ending variation, and it was overall a great episode. It cleared up the mom-and-dad thing with the Apples, too, and it was a great celebration of a 5-year anniversary- to have the secondary story get a semi-conclusion. I like how they structured it so that they can still have more episodes with the CMC, because they don't have cutie mark-ish duties to attend to, and although "Cutie Mark Crusaders" has taken on a slightly different meaning, I still like the episode a ton. Season 5 has been a real milestone season, and with episodes like this one and "Slice Of Life", I think it's clear how far we've come.
The only thing that I wish they had done was add in a more clever pun. I mean, Indiana Jones has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with this episode.

Sorry about that rant; I just LOVED the episode.

Moving on to "The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows"... I really like the way the tables turn from the "Green Isn't Your Color" episode, where Pinkie was testing Twilight. Now everypony is testing Pinkie, and it's almost too much to bear! I also love the news that everyone gets at the end, and I'm excited to see the BABY! (Maybe a Season 6 opener episode? Or a half-season episode with a hiatus? Without the hiatus?!) People have been suggesting it was Princess Skyla, and I sort of like that idea, although I also like to toy with the idea of having a male alicorn. Would it even be an alicorn? But still, an alicorn prince wouldn't be a bad idea... SHOW CREATORS, I HOPE YOU'RE READING THIS!

Sorry if you don't watch MLP, I had to get that off my tail. That was basically it! Also, in case you were wondering, I'm not a Taurus. I'm an Aquarius. I just have a list of random words, and I pick one for each blog post (unless SOMEONE would be kind enough to give me suggestions in the comments??? SOMEONE ANYONE PLEASE HELP)

Also, before we go any further, I'm going to explain my blog in a simple key:
Normal text: information
talking like this: ranting about thoughts
OH MY GOD CAPITAL TEXT: I'm really excited about something, or I want to make a strong point
(parentheses mean that you should probably read it, and it's for your own good, choose not to at your own risk).
I already recommended a song and YouTuber, so go to my other post today, called Swamp (I believe), and check them out over there.
Bye!

Swamps!

Hey guys! Hello internet! My friend Marrionette slept over last night... it was SO MUCH FUN but I had to miss a friend's birthday party for it. Sorry guys, I had a prior engagement with her... my parents said...
Anyways, I now have BLUE HAIR! I've been waiting like 2 months for this! It took 6 HOURS to get done but it was SO worth it. We had to wash, cut, bleach, wash, bleach again, wash, dye, wait, rinse, rinse again, and dry. It doesn't sound like too much, but it took SO LONG FOR THE BLEACH! Still totally worth it; I would post a picture of myself except my parents say NU THERE B HACKERS AND PEEPLE THAT WIL STAK U NU DONT POST A PIC DUR DUR DURR
In other news, HIAGO WAS FINISHED! I finished it on Thursday at 12:23 AM. Now I just need to edit, revise, add, delete, and find a publisher!
Marrionette has The Amazing Book Is Not On Fire and it's AWESOME! Dan and Phil have consumed my soul... And speaking of Dan and Phil, they're doing a "meet and greet" near meh :D which I'm excited about, because I'll get a picture, but it probably will be SUPER PROFESSIONAL AND STRICKT and not much fun... D: But still, it's Dan and Phil. They have to watch for stalkers.
I stayed up and made Marrionette read the hat fic, the chair fic and the kitten fic. She hated all of them, and I dozed off around 3:30 AM while she was reading the chair fic. She says I just dropped down on my face like all those funny animal videos lol
If you haven't heard already about roller derby, check my older posts and you'll find it somewhere! Anyways, we went to the roller derby last night, and we won again. It's nice when you have a good team so you don't have to be a fair-weather fan like with the Cubs sometimes. We were behind in the first half, but pulled ahead in the second, finishing around 50 points ahead! GO, TEAM!
Christmas and by extension my birthday's coming up, and I can't decide if I should ask for a drone or a YouTube account. I think that I'll buy a drone or maybe ask my relatively rich grandparents, and ask for a YouTube account as my dual birthday/christmas present from my mom and dad. Anyways, I don't have toooo much time because I need to have Marrionette read the cherry fic, but I still got time for the recommendations! Recommended YouTuber is probably going to be... Well, technically, it's a Vimeo, but still, recommended video-maker this time is Marrionette. Yeah, my friend has her own YouTube, and she's posting videos on it, so check her out!
Song? Party Rock Anthem by (i dunno who it is by just look it up people stop pressuring me already). I don't even really like the song, I just wanted to recommend it because according to my internet history (which I delete daily) it was the last song I listened to before finishing Hiago!
Oh, one more thing! we're getting family pictures taken today! I'm super excited because blue-haired me is going to look so cool! :D
anyways, gotta go make marrionette read the cherry fic. Bye! -racartiara :D

Egg

Ah, man. I've only been awake 8 hours- I got up at 1 and it's 9 now- so if I hadgotten up at 8:00 then it should be 5:00... My body is messed up.

I don't have much to report, except that week after this, I'm having a half day on Thursday, no school on Friday, and then no school on Monday either because of Columbus Day. So I go on a half day from 8:15 to 10:30 I believe, so that's 2 hours 15 minutes of school and then a four day weekend. Almost a five day weekend. I have more weekend than actual school!

I'm listening to really epic music right now and it's affecting me.

Nothing big going on right now, only normality! I'm coloring Celtic legends and stuff in a book I got because it's fun and yeah. I might be going on World Of Warcraft because it looks cool, if I can get my mom to agree.

I've had a violent cold for a few weeks now and it's not fun. In other news, my friend Ankita is releasing an album and she let me make the cover! Here's a picture:

You guys like? Please tell.

Reccomended YouTubers are Rhett and Link, who run the channel Good Mythical Morning. They talk about cool stuff and also, they made this post's reccomended song: My OCD. It's catchy, and it's SO TRUE! I reccomend you check out the video for that, it's cool :D

Anyone catch the blood moon? It's basically a GIANT lunar eclipse. I researched it for you guys and it turns out that this is the fifth in a tetrad started in the Bible. Any other time a blood moon has come along, something bad has happened like for example the Spanjsb Inqisition, and stuff. There won't be another for 30 years.

It's so cool and it seems so sad, how we might be doomed because of the terrible things that are happening to the world and everything on it, and species go extinct so often, and...

Whoops! Sad song. Too heavy-hearted. Sorry!

Bye!

-Gracc McDede

Velociraptor!

Squash!

Hey there!

I just got iOS 9 and it seems to be working well. It took a bit to update, but the keyboard looks totally different, in a good way! In school, we've been doing some really cool stuff like re-enacting the Salem Witch Trials and looking at Protista under microscopes! Also, I now have 70 pages on Hiago! If I have a formal party for its release (if and when that happens), I know who I'm inviting. I still need to find an editing and publishing company for it! *sigh* URGH. I need to find one before I'm done, so that I can get it edited fast and published fast. Sure, I have my friends and stuff, and that's great, but I need a publishing company! D:<

My parents are getting on me about my grades and stuff and missin assignments, and they've taken away my phone multiple times, which is why it's been a while. Sorry 'bout that.

Reccomended YouTuber today? Sprinkle Of Glitter. She's really cool & funny!

Reccomended song? Singularity- Alone, but not just that song, the Au5 and Fractal remix of that song! It's so cool, and not incredibly repetitive. Good song, good remix, good everything! I really like it... And you will too! (Pwomise!)

I've been reading and re-reading and re-re-reading a book called Ready Player One. It's just so good. I recommend it for science fiction readers that like futuristic video game stuff that are also mature because it has language :P

I recently found out that the stuff I like is apparently called "House". What is house? Electronic stuff. Shouldn't they call it "Electronic Stuff" then? you ask. My answer: I'm just as bewildered as you are about it.

That's it for now! Hopefully I won't have my phone taken away again! :D

Snorkel! (you didn't give me post titles, I choose random words. You brought this upon yourself.)

Hey!

SO sorry I haven't been posting more often... I'm a lot busier with homework and chores than usual. I found out recently that one of my friends likes danisnotonfire (you may remember him from being a reccomended YouTuber a while ago), and this might not seem like a big deal except she likes him BECAUSE of this blog! I influenced someone!

Windows 10 is pressuring me to get it and I'm just like "I cannot! I need the master password!" wish I could get it though... 

Recently I made an army of swans that started a hostile takeover of my bedroom

So that happened. Also, me and some friends did a zen tangle that looks cool! We did it by just having Sharpies, and we sat at four corners of the paper. Then, we drew only in black for maybe 5 minutes or so, then we switched counterclockwise, and used colored sharpies. The result looked like this:

It was fun, and we listened to music and talked while doing it. We're going to work on it next week, too, to fill in blank spaces and such. It might look random, but you look closer and see that it is the definition of the term "organized chaos" (look it up). I'm going to a roller derby soon, hopefully it'll be cool! Also, some people were skeptical that I actually had a rainbow pastel butterfly unicorn kitten. Here it is.

SO THERE!

Recommended YouTuber is Kurt Hugo Schneider. (I feel that I've told you about him before, and if I have, comment.) He does awesome music and stuff! And recommended song is Wherever You Are by Sam Tsui. It's so awesome and NOT about love or breakups, just about dancing!

That's pretty much all for today. I might post later to tell you guys about the roller derby, but it might be too late... So bye!

The My Little Pony universe

So today I'm feeling like exposing a new facet of the brilliant diamond that is my personality, so let's just settle this first: I got a new haircut! It's a lot shorter and a LOT different- very cool. Now onto the facet!

I am a pegasister.

Yep, I like the show My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic! It's one of the fandoms that I enjoy watching videos and reactions of. It's one of the many fandoms I support. And since I'm actually fairly close to their recommended age (8), it's not TOO abnormal, which is the #1 reason for brony hate. Yeah, I really like the fan-iverse as well and some of my favorite background characters include Derpy Hooves and DJ-PON3 (Vinyl Scratch to you and me). I seriously loved/hated the fanfiction Cupcakes. A bit of advice: it is gory. Don't judge a fanfiction by its title. Another one along the same lines is Smile HD! Also gory, but I like it a bit more because it's not an actual fanfiction, just a video of a remix of Pinkie Pie's musical number Smile. Also, speaking of music, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE PMVs. They are so great. Check out TheAcleps (a reccomended YouTuber!) for some seriously cool PMVs made using Adobe After Effects. I love the Lunar Republic. Luna for life! However, one of my favorite fan made songs about the Lunar Oppression- and it's pretty canon, too- is Lullaby For A Princess by WarpOut (a reccomended song and YouTuber!) The video and animation took, I'm not kidding, more than TWO AND A HALF YEARS TO MAKE. No kidding. It is so amazing that a person would put that much effort into a video. The music is by PonyPhonic I believe as well. Everything is hand-drawn, too. Imagining how hard it was... It's really amazing. And it's really powerful in some parts. It made me tear up personally! It was amazingly bittersweet in how it expressed Celestia's lament over banishing her sister, and how she loves her more than anything. It also shows how she got her hair to turn from pink to the glowing pink/purple/green it is now. I really love the style and especially in the first few frames, as the YouTuber Blank Check remarks, "Canterlot had never looked better". I'm listening to it now as I write this. The video's about seven-ish minutes long. It's really cool... Check it out!

I seriously loved episode 100 and I feel like I caught so much just watching other people's commentary. That episode is the ultimate test- if you get the references and TOTALLY LOVE IT, you're in the fandom. If you want more mane six storyline, you're not in the fandom. Or more accurately, let me explain it this way in the style of Dan Howell:

There are fandoms, where you like the series a bit and will talk about it.

Then come the Internet fandoms.

Fanart, fanfiction, fanimation, fan song s, _MVs, et cetera, are contained in this category. If you're a normal fan and value your life and/or soul, do NOT go in without a guide. Trust me, you won't regret taking an Internet fan's help on this.

Anyways. Yeah. I am an Internet fan of MLP: FiM.

Thank you and bye!

Also if you didn't get any of these references, WATCH THE SERIES. It'll clear up most stuff. Also, search the wiki. It's invaluable.

!!! (need blog titles comment below)

It's only been a few weeks since we reached one thousand, and we're already almost at 1200! They were right about this viewing-exponential-theory thing. How did you fare with the fic? Post reactions (AND MORE POST TITLES) below... please. Not much is going on except for having a 3-day weekend for Labor Day (go, labor!) after I'm done with school for today. I'm really excited about the three days of weekending because I will have a TON of fun (i.e. playing video games until my head turns to mush and doing none of my homework). Since not that much is going on today, I want to take this opportunity to reintroduce myself, for new viewers or just to give people an updated summary of my life, since much has changed.

Hey guys, my name is Gracc McDede, and I live somewhere in the Illinois area. I live with my cute dog named Trixie and three family members. I go to school in the same Illinois area, and I recently changed schools, and am having an okay time dealing (although I still miss my old school). My family recently moved, and even though it wasn't far (northern IL to northern IL), it feels like I have AN ENTIRELY NEW LIFE with new school, dog, house, car, etc. So yeah, I run this blog called The Boring Life Of Racartiara (TBLOR for short), which is where I post about my life (and is my compromise with my parents for not getting a YouTube channel). It has over one thousand views and I'm SO HAPPY ABOUT IT! I speak a teensy bit of Spanish and am learning German (Wie gehts?). I SERIOUSLY LOVE writing, and I like to color other people's drawings (especially in colored pencil). I'm an OK artist, and, not to boast, a good singer, and I like to use Sharpie to draw all over my body and stuff. I listen to a lot of old songs, mainly my Dad's influence, and I also like Coldplay and Dubstep. (I have varying music tastes.) I like to watch YouTube (a LOT) and play Minecraft, whether it's on Xbox, PC, or just PE. I also like Forza, this racing game, and even though I don't usually like racing games, I seem to like it! I have a pretty mundane life, but I like to talk about it! And all the facts going through my mind. It's fun to just explode your own head watching Vsauce (my recommended YouTuber for today) and learning about all the CRAYZEH stuff going on in the world, and also it's awesome if you listen to Jump by Laura Shigihara (recommended song for today, guys, check it out). I am also currently running out of names for my posts, so I keep giving them names like song lyrics (if you get the reference any time comment down below), and the usual "Hey Guys" with different punctuation added at the end. I'd really like it if you could keep reading this blog, because I'll make posts about random stuff like:

• my dog
• my book
• my other book
• my social life
• books I like
• songs and youtubers
• cats
• memes
• et cetera
• more et cetera
• is this list over
• how do I end a bulleted list
• help me please
• guys
• comment down below if you know how to fix this
• oh wait
• i see it
• there it is
• lemme click it
• wait
• i have to delete everything like my life
• and start over
• because this list is too long
• it's getting out of hand
• i like wizard101
• you fool! don't tell them that yet
• but i like it...
• too bad don't tell them yet
• ok
• ending the list now
• wait
• NOW
• no
• NOWWWWW

There we go. That should give you a pretty good idea of what I post about. I'm also on Google+; follow me for random stuff and follow mah friends for even more random stuff! I also like Harry Potter.
The end.

So there you go, guys, the new re-introduction to this blog! (While I'm typing this, I'm imagining a few YouTuber's voices in my head, I'm just weird like that.) I really, REALLY need more titles, guys; comment below, this is NOT a joke or a test or whatever. You should have caught my recommended song and YouTuber inside my re-introduction to my channel, so if you didn't, CHECK AGAIN. LOOK AT THE PARENTHESES. (side note: parentheses are where I put all my unorganized thoughts and stuff, sorta like they're a dresser or piece of furniture and I'm just shoving stuff down in the crack between them and the wall. See what I mean?)
Ok, I'm ending the post now! See you soon (maybe tomorrow?), everyone!
-racartiara

Hallo! (I found out this is German for Hello!)

So hi guys! School is awesome, and I have people to sit with at lunch, and everything! My friends are all REALLY GOOD artists, though. They're really cool people and I have company at lunch, so... I'm A-OK with it!
I haven't really been active on here lately besides partner posts, which I'm sorry for... I just have LOADS of homework now that I have my Chromebook and everything, but as the end to the first official week of school draws nigh, I find more time for stuff.
We have a math test tomorrow (bites nails), but it's pretty easy stuff- I'll handle fine. I've been at work on Forza (a racing game that usually I wouldn't like but this one is cool, which sets it as the standard for racing games because I like it and my opinion matters. Does it? *sigh* probably not.) making custom designs for cars and giving them SUPER COOL paint jobs. World Languages? Another test too. I've found out that Minecraft 1.9 (The Combat Update) is coming out SUPER SOON which I'm TOO EXCITED TO HANDLE. This is the 366th day since Mojang released a big update, the last one being the Bountiful Update. That makes it just over a YEAR (and exactly a leap year) since Mojang released a big update, and that is the longest Minecrafters have had to wait for a major update since... ever. Wow! I found that out from the Wiki page. It's AWESOME. By now, you've probably noticed I'm alternating short school segments with long video game segments, and if you have, GOOD FOR YOU! Also, I read a Gravity Falls fanfiction that I really liked. So far it has 11 chapters, and I've read them all. It almost made me cry, and it DID make my friend cry- three times- so be warned. The link is HERE. So yeah, good luck.
Recommended YouTuber today? Slamacow. He makes such awesome Minecraft animations that are really funny and some are kind of deep too. I just really like his work, and if you like that sort of thing, check hin out!
Recommended song? Moog City by C418. It's an original Minecraft soundtrack and I really like it, it's one of my favorites from Minecraft along with cool you found this (whoops, save that for another time! Don't want to spoil another future recommendation!) so yeah, check it out.

Partner Post #2: Minecraft!

So this next Partner Post is about our opinions on Minecraft! Personally, I think Minecraft is great. I love being able to build anything you want, and being able to make replicas of ANYTHING! Survival is okay, but I mostly avoid it unless I'm playing on one of my favorite servers, DatPixel! (the IP for anybody that's interested is: play.datpixel.net you're welcome) My IGN is codenamealpha (no caps like that) and I mostly stick with one skin. I like Papercraft as well, and I like making people's skins out of paper to display in real life! My friend Marionette had an acquaintance that had a Minecraft birthday party and they did an awesome job of showing all the ideas for games and opportunities that come with having Minecraft in real life! It's really cool to build castles and things, and now that I have all forms of it, it's even better!

The link to my partner Marrionette's opinion is HERE: https://marrionetteblog.wordpress.com/2015/08/31/partner-blog-numbero-uno-minecraft/

Partner blog! Today's topic: DUBSTEP!

So this is the first post on my partner blog experience! We're talking about Dubstep today! I wasn't around Dubstep at an early age unlike my partner, but I learned about it after listening to Minecraft Radio and was HOOKED. Now I love listening to Monstercat and a variety of artists, including Braken and Au5. As you know, I've started recommending Dubstep on this blog, and that's how much I love it <3

Check out my partner Marrionette's opinion! The link is HERE:

https://marrionetteblog.wordpress.com/2015/08/30/partner-blog-todays-topic-dubstep-2/

THE PARTNERSHIP

So for around a month, I'm going to partner with my friend Marionette, who just started her own blog! We're going to talk about subjects and post the link to each other's blogs down at the bottom of the page, so that you can go there and check out her opinion on the same subject.

We hope you enjoy it!

Here's her blog and its first post:

https://marrionetteblog.wordpress.com/

I need more blog titles besides "Hey guys"

The title is correct.
Sorry that I didn't normally post yesterday; I just now came off the excitement high :D
Isn't Silly Putty the most random and awesome thing ever? You can use it for probably, like, a thousand things. I just think it's really cool and awesome. If you live in some horrible country where you're deprived of this wonderful solid, just know it's like Play-Doh and Kinetic Sand had a baby and it came in tons of colors. Also, it has some of the qualities of a Superball as well. It's awesome.
Another thing of note? I have found an illustrator for my book! Now I have more than one talented artist friend :D But still haven't found a publishing company that would take my work, I am only a first-time author after all. No reputation for being good. But that means I don't have any reputation for being bad, either, so who knows what'll happen? Hopefully they like my work, but I still don't know who to submit it to. I don't really want to self-publish, as it would be SO MUCH WORK for me, and I also need an editor. I've been getting informal help from my friends (one in particular, thanks), but I need to make an official editor something that I have. I'm open as of now, but probably will ask one of my friends to do it. I'm never good at revising my own work... I'm too convinced that it's perfect to admit any flaws! Haha
Anyways, I'm making more friends at my school. There are a couple that I'm fairly good friends with, and another couple acquaintances. We have to get dressed for gym- an entirely new experience for me. I've gotten fairly good at spinning my locker combo, but not the one that's on my PE locker... *sigh* one day. I'm still very glad that I'm making friends, though! I miss my old school, that's true, but my new school seems fairly cool too. I miss my friends most of all. I want to see them more, since I'm used to seeing them five, six, or all seven days of the week (school for five, and then a sleepover from sat. to sun.), and now I might possibly see them once a month, or less... I'm still missing them, though.
My story's coming along in leaps and bounds. I have around... 46 pages now? Still can't release the link until I get copyright... Not sure how to do that, one of the perks of a publishing company to format it and release it for you. I dream of the day when I can hold my entire, whole book in my hands, look at it, and say "You did well, Gracc. You did well." I hope that's going to be soon, but it might take, like, another year to finish it, get the illustrations, and get it published and mass-released. Hopefully not that long, but maybe... I still want to publish it quickly, which is why I've been working on it so much. I'm helping another writer with some tips on how to craft her story, too. It seems to be working for her, so I hope I'm helping. I will give author tips to the general public, too, but ONLY if this page gets 20 views in the first week. It is a steep goal, I know, but that's what it takes for me to divulge my secrets to the world! :D I know you guys can do it!
Anyways, have to go for now! Please give me post titles, so that I can get better names for them instead of titling them "hey" or "Hey Guys!" Thanks!
-Gracc, aspiring writer

GUYS

WE DID IT! WE GOT TO ONE THOUSAND! THIS IS AMAZING!!!!
Congratulations to Bella W, who was the one thousanth person to view my blog! Congrats to her and her family and everyone!
I can't believe the day is finally here. I've waited so long.
It's all been worth it.
ALL OF IT.
I still cannot believe it.
If I hadn't clicked that 'create blog' icon that one fateful day, typed my first post, and shared it with the world, I wouldn't be here.
But enough about ME. I want to hear about you! And I am SO glad that this has happened! It's truly awesome! I'm celebrating by doing a little happy dance
*dance dance dance*
YAY! It's so awesome to see how far I've come from that one day. It's so awesome that everybody is here.
If you're new now, thanks for joining me, and for those of you that have been with me all the way, thanks for EVERYTHING.
That's all for this post, more to come later maybe if I come down off my celebratory sugar high soon enough.
