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!

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!

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.
