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.

Blue

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 :)

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.

Anyways, gotta go for my band concert :D see you soon!

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!
Bai

Taurus

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
