Since I was busy having an awesome time yesterday, I didn't get a chance to post yesterday's BEDA which is why you're getting two posts today.
So today I got up relatively early in order to drive back to Denton. For some reason, I just couldn't sleep last night. I kept waking up and trying to go back to sleep but it didn't last long until I woke up again. I don't know if I actually ended up getting much sleep. Finally at around 6:30AM I gave up trying. I just laid there listening to my friends' roomates' kitty play with the blinds until my alarm went off at 7AM. I got dressed and such and was ready and heading out the door around 7:45AM. I drove out of Norman and stopped in Purcell to get some gas (I had only used a quarter of a tank but figured I'd fill it up anyway), and then had breakfast at McDonald's.
So I drove back and by the time I got back I was so tired. I tried to lay down a few minutes ago but for some reason my brain wouldn't let me. I guess it knows that I have work to get done and I do. I have the final version of Draft 3 of my project due tonight by 10PM. For some reason though, I don't feel as stressed about it as I did last week when I had to turn in the Prelim. I still don't understand a lot of what I'm doing but for some reason it doesn't bother me as much. Then again I think I'm just ready to be done with the class at this point. I have quite a bit of work to do. I'm hoping I can get it done on time.
In other news, my stomach has been bothering me today and I don't know why. Perhaps I ate too much yesterday or something? I don't really know. It could be just a nervous stomach too. I've noticed recently that on days where I am kinda stressed out and have assignments due that I just don't eat all that much. I'm just never very hungry it seems on days when I have assignments that I've waited until the last minute to do. It's become almost a thing for me to just eat a bowl of Easy Mac for lunch on those days (like today). I'm wondering if I've developed a nervous stomach thing all of a sudden or if it's just another sign that my stress is affecting me. I already get headaches from being stressed out so it shouldn't really surprise me if this is just another side effect.
Anyways,yesterday was awesome and now it's back to reality.Now I'll go because I need to get to work on my project. Sorry if this is kinda boring.

BEDA Day 6: BEST DAY EVER!!
So yesterday was pretty much the BEST DAY EVER for me. (which is also partially why this post is a day late. Also, no Internet access even though I kinda did). It was awesome because I GOT TO MEET MAUREEN JOHNSON! I'm still reeling from it that's how fabulous yesterday was.
I got up yesterday morning and packed an overnight bag since I was going to stay with my friend Kate that night. Then I worked on finishing two Hogwarts House bracelets for my friends Travis and Kate. The night before, Tuesday, Maureen had tweeted that she and Emily (libraniac, the young adult services coordinator) were planning on going GoKarting between events on Wednesday. Maureen had said that if anyone wanted to join them, we could and so my friend Travis and I decided to take her up on that offer. I didn't know what time we were planning on meeting up so I made a plan to leave around 12 just in case. Luckily, Travis found out the time before I left. The planned time for the GoKarting was going to be 3 which meant that I had to leave at 12 in order to make it on time. So I packed up my laptop (just in case I got a chance to access the Internet) and my stuff. I even packed a PBJ sandwich and some Cheetos for a lunch on the way. I stopped at Walmart to pick up a couple of things like some Turkey Jerkey and a Dr. Pepper drink. I had only used up a 1/4 tank of gas but decided to fill up my car all the way just so I would have enough. Then I headed out. I was already running a few minutes late when I finally left but I thought I'd make up the time and for awhile I did. Just outside the state line I stopped at a rest stop for a few minutes to eat my lunch before continuing on. Then I hit construction. Lots of it. It was so annoying because it slowed me down. Travis text me to find out if I was gong to be there soon because he was so excited to go GoKarting. I FINALLY got there and as soon I got out of my car, we were off again. We made it in time to watch Emily and Maureen Johnson race. We even cheered Maureen on! Emily beat her the first time. After they had raced, Travis and I got to chat with them for awhile (it's amazing how I was able to talk when I was fangirling inside!) and then we all raced. I came 4th out of 4 so yeah, I sucked but I still had fun. Travis beat Maureen and got 1st, or the best time since we were going for time and not racing each other while Maureen got 2nd and Emily came in 3rd. It was so unbelievably fun! I would love to go back and this time I'm sure my time would improve. Afterwards, we parted ways. Travis and I stopped by Wendy's and got chocolate Frosty's and then we went to Pennsquare Mall and walked around awhile just to kill time while waiting to meet up with the rest of the group. We went to the Apple store and an awesome candy store while at the mall. I ended up buying a small bag of gummy candy (mini gummy bears,striped gummi bears, and some mini sour worms). Finally we headed over to a Red Robin that was a couple miles away from the Village Library where the event was going to take place at 7. We met up with our friends Erin and Kate and had a nice dinner (I had my usual Banzai Burger and Freckled lemonade). We even kinda celebrated Erin's birthday while there (even though technically her birthday is today.She got a free birthday sundae).
Finally we carpooled back to the library for the main event: MAUREEN! It was so awesome! Maureen mentioned both Travis and I and how we had all gone GoKarting. It was funny because she joked around with the fact that Travis beat her saying she wasn't going to talk to him and stuff. She also commented on my valiant effort which was nice. She told a little about herself and answered questions. I filmed the entire talk and will be uploading it to my personal YouTube channel. Afterwards, she signed books and we got to take pictures. And then that was that. We headed back to Norman and I stayed the night with my friend Kate and then drove back this morning.
All in all it was just an awesome day. I needed something like this. I just needed to get away and spend time with friends. Maureen is just awesome and I'm so glad I got to meet her. I'm still in awe of the fact that I got to go GoKarting with her! AHH!!
I'm sure this won't be the last time I get to meet her since I'm working on being a youth librarian. If I'm lucky enough, I hope to someday be able to be like Emily and get to invite authors and hang out with them. Like she's said, "I love my job!" and I hope to someday say the same.

BEDA Day 5: Crafty and Knotty!
Today my main thing has been making 2 Hogwarts house bracelets for my friends that I will be seeing tomorrow. One is a Gryffindor bracelet and the other Hufflepuff. I've already made a Ravenclaw bracelet for my 3rd friend and I have one of each Hogwarts House bracelets for myself although these are the early, basically, prototype ones. The ones I've been making recently are better quality wise and color wise. The colors now resemble more closely the actual colors.
What I basically do is tie knots in a pattern to create a bracelet. I've known how to make the basic striped bracelet for some time but one day I found a book in the library and discovered an array of new, more complex patterns. This led to a search on the Internet and I found even more patterns and have even created my own. Ever since then, I've been making various bracelets out of embroidery floss. In a search on a forum, I discovered some Harry Potter patterns but they required a lot of work which I didn't really have time for then. However, that led me to think of a way to make some sort of Harry Potter bracelets. By then I'd already learned how to do alphabet patterns and decided to make Hogwarts House bracelets that way. I just use the house colors for each to make the bracelets spell out the house name.
I made one for a friend as a request after she saw mine that I'd worn while at a Wrock concert. I decided to make some for my other friends as well. I've also made one for each of the fiveawesomegirls and was planning to send them as a farewell/Christmas present but never did and still haven't (I really need to get on that). All this has made me consider selling them in an Etsy shop. People love Harry Potter related merchandise and I'm sure they'd be quite popular especially with the upcoming release of the final movie (*tear*). I'm seriously considering this especially with the fact that I have more free time.
So that's what I've been busy doing today. It's a bit sad because making the bracelets makes me think about the fact that the last movie is quickly approaching. Like I've said, I'm happy but also sad. Harry Potter is my childhood and my life practically. I was there for the book releases at midnight and for most of the movie releases. Now it all comes down to this. One final movie release at midnight. While I know that Harry Potter will continue to live on, it's hard to think of that right now.

BEDA Day 4: Maureen Johnson, HPDH1, and other (not-so) exciting stuff
OMG OMG OMG!! Ok so two big things I'm really excited about are happening this month and in fact one of them is happening on WEDNESDAY!! On Wednesday I'll be driving to Oklahoma City to see the one and only MAUREEN JOHNSON!! I'm so excited! I can't wait!
Meeting Maureen Johnson is hopefully going to be just as epic as it was meeting Hank and John Green of the Vlogbrothers. Honestly, there is just the whole thing of meeting people IRL you only know online that's exciting. It's mindblowing in itself. I mean even meeting Lauren and Kristina of the fiveawesomegirls was incredible and they were just playing music. Still though. There's just something about IRL vs. URL (online). It just makes it more real when you see them in person. Honestly, I'm so excited to meet Maureen Johnson and see what she is really like. I mean online, she's incredibly funny. I hope this is true in person.
The other awesome thing about seeing MJ (as we call her on twitter!) is that I'll also be seeing my awesome Oklahoma friends who I haven't seen physically since December. I love my awesome Oklahoma friends so much and it really bothers me that I can't seem to find any awesome friends like them here. We've been doing a video collab project this year which has been pretty awesome so I still see them. But on Wednesday, I'll get to spend time with them before, during, and after we see MJ. We're all going to go see her together and I'm sure we'll all be sharing footage on our channel during the next week. So in addition to meeting a famous Young Adult author, I'll also get to hang out with my awesome friends.
So the next exciting thing I want to talk about is the fact that next Friday, April 15th, the first part of Deathly Hallows is released on Blu-ray and DVD. OMG! I'm so freakin' excited and I plan to buy it either the day it comes out or the next day. I know I should probably wait since they might be releasing a big set or 2 Disc combo of last movie after the final part has left theaters (sadness). But being the Harry Potter nerd that I am, I still am going to get the Blu-ray/DVD combo anyway. I can't wait until the last part is released. Especially since I plan on having an epic Movie marathon before July 15th from 1st movie to 7th movie part 1. It wouldn't work if I didn't have the 7th movie part 1 to begin with. So that's the other thing I'm really excited about. I've been wanting to watch the movie again and I'll finally be able to! Although it makes the fact that the last part will be released into theaters and the ending of the whole Harry Potter life as I know it more real. It's a rollercoaster of emotions. I know that I'm excited for the last movie but also sad. I was sad when the books ended but at least I still had the movies and now I won't have that. It's crazy to think that life as I know it ends on July 15th.
Anyway, those are two things coming up that I'm really really excited about. My day was less than exciting but not that that's new. I got up fairly early so I could wait for the Pest Control guy to come for his monthly treatment and then I went to Walmart to get groceries for the week. I also picked up some lunch at McDonald's while I was there. Other than that,just the usual watching TV and doing stuff on the internet. I was actually kinda bored today. I should (could) have done homework but as usual I didn't. Just not motivated enough I guess. I need to though and I will.
That's all I have for Day 4 of BEDA. I'll leave with this: MJ in OKC on Wednesday! :)

BEDA Day 3: So Yeah.
Today's post will be relatively short mostly because I have not a clue as to what to talk about. So yeah.
Basically today (like many other days) has been pretty uneventful. I've been really tired today so I slept quite a lot. I went to be late last night and then woke up at 7 but went back to sleep until 8:30. I wanted to be up relatively early to go to a Pancake breakfast sponsored by the Knights of Columbus for the church. They have a breakfast at least once a month at their hall. So I went and had some yummy pancakes and sausage. I came back and went back to sleep for a few more hours because I was still tired. I finally woke up and felt more awake than I did. Didn't really do anything else for the rest of the day though. I watched movies on ABCFamily (Monster's Inc. and Ratatouille). I took a nap this afternoon too (as I said, I was just really tired today). Woke up and started working on my homework that was due tonight while I watched more movies on ABCFamily (same ones as earlier but mostly I just listened as they're movies I've seen numerous times already). I had some leftover shrimp spaghetti for dinner. Now I'm just doing stuff on the Internet. I'm actually going to go to bed early tonight. I say that a lot and usually it doesn't happen but tonight I will. I have to be up and ready for when the pest control guy comes to spray. Also, I plan to go to Walmart tomorrow and get groceries.
Somedays I wish I could just spend the whole day in bed. The thing is though, I don't know if I could actually do it. But who knows? Anyway, yeah that was my day. Boring but what else. Like I said, fairly short blog because of it.
On an exciting note, I'll be heading to OKC to see MAUREEN JOHNSON on Wednesday (and my friends) and I can't wait!
So yeah. That's all folks for BEDA Day 3.

BEDA Day 2: Kids and the Future
Tonight I was sitting in church and I was practically surrounded by families with babies and young children. I had one in the pew behind me and one sitting right next to me (families I mean). Looking at them made me think of some things. One thing it made me think of was that I know people who are the same age or a little younger than me that have kids already.It's weird for me to picture them with kids. I realize that we're all adults now and everything but it still is a bit weird for me. I know of several other people close to my age that are getting married. It's just weird for me to think about this stuff and picture it because it's not something I'm looking at for my life right now. Right now I'm focused on finishing my degree and getting my career going before I even begin dating and such.
Which makes me think about my future. I would love to meet someone and get married and have a family but I can't even begin to picture something like that. As bad as this may sound, I don't even know what type of guy would fall for a girl like me. Really. I mean when I picture my future guy, I picture him being nerdy like me. I'd love to meet a guy who is also a nerdfighter and we bond over that first as friends and then progress from there. For me, I don't see finding a nerdy guy to be so much of a problem. In fact, I can't even really see my future guy NOT being a nerd.
I can't even begin to picture me getting married either or even having kids. Despite the fact that I love kids and want to someday have a couple, I can't see myself as being a mother. I know things change when you have a baby, but I still can't picture myself being a mother. I mean I can't even deal with throw up well now, how will I ever put up with it when my future kids get sick?
Then there is the thing that if I do have kids there is a chance they'll be just like me in regards to family. Meaning they may only ever know one set of grandparents if they are lucky (most likely my future husband's) Also like me, there will be a big age gap between their cousin (my nephew) and them. My nephew is already 12! When I was born there was an 11 year age difference between me and the next youngest cousins (fraternal twins, boy and girl. Also my brother is the same age as they are). There is an even bigger age gap between me and my cousins on my dad's side. It's weird to think about things like that but it's how it'll be.
Sometimes I even wonder if I ever will meet someone and eventually get married and have kids. It's something I would love to happy and hope happens but at the same time, there's that chance it may not happen. When I think about that, it makes me think if I would be happy if I never met someone. What things would be like? I can't picture this either. As far as everything goes, I don't see a foreseeable future and really maybe that's part of my problems recently.
If you haven't figured it out by now from previous blog postings and such. My mind is a strange place. I seem to always be thinking about things. Strange things at times. Also because it has so many thoughts, my blogs tend to be kinda long. Like this one is.
And there you have it. Day 2 of BEDA, done. Musings of my mind. Hope you enjoyed it.

BEDA 2011 Day 1: The magic begins...
Once again, I've decided to participate in Blog Every Day April. I failed to do so last year when it was in August. I had every intention to participate but failed at the start. However this year things have changed and it's more of a necessity for me to participate. With the way I've been feeling about my life lately, I need a creative outlet that is also a stress reliever. This is what I feel BEDA will do for me.
An important note about this year's BEDA is that I'm not just going to be blogging. Instead I will be doing a combination of BEDA and VEDA (Vlog Every Day April). It's a way for me to make more videos. Despite having a video camera and plenty of ideas for videos, I have yet to actually make many of them. Chances are that I will still blog a little bit on days I do Vlogs. I'll be embedding the videos in my postings so you don't need to go subscribe to my YouTube channel just so you know when I make a video (But if you want to anyways, by all means, go for it!)
Now that I've covered all that I can talk a little bit about my Friday (if you're even interested). So today was pretty eventful. I was awake earlier than usual because I had to catch the bus to campus. I had an session at 11. To get to campus I have to catch 2 buses. 1 to get to the central station and then transfer to another one to get to the campus. The nice thing about it is that I ride free! As long as I have my UNT ID card that is!
Anyway my session went well and I felt much better afterwards. Afterwards, I went to Pita Pit for lunch and had a yummy Felafel Pita. Then I waited for what seemed like forever to catch a bus back to Central and then catch another bus back to the library where I then walked home. I took it easy the rest of the afternoon. I messed around on the Internet and then I reread Vol 6 of Scott Pilgrim. Interestingly, I read the whole graphic novel in about 50 minutes. It took me longer to read it the first time! (mostly because I had to put it down and do other things. Finally, tonight, I went to a Fish Fry at my church and had an enjoyable time. First though I had to go to Walmart and get some cash. I ended up buying a CD so I could ask for cash back when I paid.
Ever since I got back, I've just been watching TV and doing more internet stuff this evening (Oh and I edited a video for the collab channel I'm part of).
Really my social life is nonexistent so I don't really have of exciting stuff to say. That's all I have for Day 1 of BEDA.
To all who come to this (not so)happy blog, Welcome!
