The next time I post it will be the first of DECEMBER. And you know what? I want an advent calendar. You know what else? I’m getting my brace on Monday, which means I might not be able to eat the chocolate.
I had a Doctor Who advent calendar two years ago. That was a good year.
Just while I’m talking about the brace; I went the orthodontist yesterday, and he put these blue plastic-y things between some of my teeth to start spacing them out, and they are so uncomfortable. Imagine constantly having a piece of food stuck between your teeth, except sometimes it hurts you. A lot.
I wrote 10,000 words on my NaNoWriMo the other day. I’m still behind the target I set myself though. November should last 60 days. That would be like, 834 words a day! People keep asking me to let them read it, and you’d think after saying ‘no’ for the eleventh time in seven minutes they’d understand...but they don’t. They just don’t.
I do like reading the pep talks. Maureen Johnson’s was my favourite. She said how writing is like Australia, in case you didn’t read it. It’s all great around the edges (in writing; the middle and end when everything is so easy), but then in the middle EVERYTHING WANTS TO KILL YOU. It made me laugh. Also, she managed to include “koalas”, “flying foxes” and “chlamydia”. Who else but Maureen could do that?
Speaking of Maureen, if it weren’t for her, we wouldn’t know each other. This blog wouldn’t exist without Maureen. We should say THANK YOU. Perhaps we could send her an email? We could include a THANK YOU from all of us. We could do it now, or wait until our year is up (which would mean, if BEDA has become an annual thing, BEDA would have just finished), but I think we should.
Wait, I want some soup.
My soup is in the microwave.
Beep!
I have my soup. Chicken and sweet corn. YUM.
What was I saying? There was something in my brain. Damn soup.
OHOHOH I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW. THE FONZ IS IN LIVERPOOL, YEAH? AND HE’S PLAYING CAPTAIN HOOK IN PETER PAN IN THE EMPIRE. I’M GOING TO THE EMPIRE TOMORROW TO SEE SCROOGE. I don’t know whether he’s still here because PP starts playing on the 11th of December, but he was on Paul O’Grady last week, and they gave him SCOUSE (which is like stew, but just meat, potatoes and carrots and there isn’t one person here who has never had it...unless they’re a baby). I’m going to search Liverpool for the Fonz until he appears.
But yeah, tomorrow I’m going to see Scrooge, starring Tommy Steele. I went to see it with Tommy Steele starring when I was in year five, and I thought, “Oh, that girl looks like my mate!” Looking in the programme later, and I found out it was her. We were buzzing off that one for weeks!
I love Tommy Steele, but nobody seems to know who he is. This makes me very sad.
Also, I FINALLY read The Hunger Games! I loved it. My friend has leant me Catching Fire, but I haven’t had time to read that yet, I’m about six chapters in. I absolutely loved it, though. Absolutely. And I’m out of soup.
I should REALLY go do my homework now, because I won’t have time to do it tomorrow. I’ll see you tomorrow, Kayla!

KASEY, HERE IS YOUR SONG. It is to “Sharada” by Skye Sweetnam, which is this;
Once upon a time there was a girl,
You wouldn’t really call her typical,
A Nerdfighter and a blogger too,
She was made of awesome.
She blogged on Mondays every week,
She blogged on BEDFAY with five other geeks*,
All the awesome guys knew her name,
She was totally lame**.
She’s got her head in Canada,
Kasey, Kasey,
Maybe she knows Spartacat...
Kasey, Kasey,
She can’t get to bed,
Kasey, Kasey,
Hope this song gets stuck in her head,
(Her head, her head, song stuck in her head).
Reading all day that’s all she did,
Every since she was a little kid,
All the teachers thought she was a nerd,
She was a nerd made of awesome.
And she chose to be a librarian,
Lending books out, avoiding the scary man***
She likes to make everyone curious
One day she's gonna be famous.
She’s got her head in Canada,
Kasey, Kasey,
Maybe she knows Spartacat...
Kasey, Kasey,
She can’t get to bed,
Kasey, Kasey,
Hope this song gets stuck in her head,
(Her head, her head, song stuck in her head).
She’s got her head in Canada,
Kasey, Kasey,
Maybe she knows Spartacat...
Kasey, Kasey,
She can’t get to bed,
Kasey, Kasey,
Hope this song gets stuck in her head,
(Her head, her head).
She’s got her head in Canada,
Kasey, Kasey,
Maybe she knows Spartacat...
Kasey, Kasey,
She can’t get to bed,
Kasey, Kasey,
Hope this song gets stuck in her head,
(Her head, her head, her head, her head, her head).
*I said ‘geeks’ because it rhymed with ‘week’.
**In a good way.

On The Brightside, I'm Now the Driver of My Car... Again!
Hello FRIENDS!
A big CANADIAN SHOUT-OUT to Cookie, who is finding two of our major cities --Toronto in Ontario and Montreal in Quebec-- much to her liking! I am sure they are liking you back!
Cookie:
I would like to say that if you pronounce it "Mon-re-all" and sort of slur the syllables together, the French will love it.
Also:
There are a lot of different types of people in Toronto. Take a trip to Chinatown -- it's crazy awesome! I love that I can't understand half of what people are saying on the buses! I am VERY GLAD that you are having fun here!
One Last Thing:
I just remembered that I am actually staying late in the city tomorrow night (not Wednesday) so I'll make sure to hide your NOT-meaningless trinket somewhere REALLY HIDDEN. I'll make sure it's unique enough for a good description, that isn't hard to find.
In other news, I crashed my car on Thursday night. It was very broken (the whole back end kind of got wrecked, not the body, but the wheels and suspension and stuff). It is better now, and I am afraid of how much it is going to cost. I was a BIG MESS OF STRESS on Thursday and Friday. My dad works in the car industry, and he's kind of like the Godfather of the whole industry (no, seriously, I should tell you some of the stories about him... they are totally Soprano-esque), so he got a mechanic/friend to fix my car, and I just left without paying. In fact, I have no idea how much it cost, and I'm a little worried about the price. I WAS A STUDENT, PEOPLE! I am not MADE OF MONEY (just awesome, but I doubt the mechanic will let me pay in awesome).
Saturday was full of AWESOME. I didn't have a car, but had plenty of errands to run, so I walked around most of downtown (not Toronto, I live just outside the city in another city). It was fun... although I was glad to finally make it back to my house! It was about 3 hours of walking (with 10 minute breaks at the places I went!)
F5 came up to visit. We went to the SANTA CLAUS PARADE. We had hot chocolate, and cotton candy, and reindeer candy canes, and laughed, and sung along to awkwardly loud instrumental renditions of holiday songs, and generally acted like 5 year olds. BUT IT WAS FUN! The only issue is now I want to hear Christmas music ALL THE TIME. We had to literally hop, skip, and run back to my house since The [Very Sneaky] Boy called at 7 and said he's pick us up at 7:30 (it takes 15min to get home, and we were wearing parade clothes).
On Saturday night I went to a party... It was fun and great, and I love hanging out with my friends. Nothing really exciting happened outside of the general debauchery of my friends. At one point there was talk of fireworks, but I quickly convinced them that going to jail for explosives wasn't all it's cracked up to be (actually, it's not cracked up to be much, but still I reinforced the idea that jail = bad).
I had about 4 hours of sleep (since F5 stayed over and we spent a couple hours talking -- like we do), and then got up and went to breakfast at Cora's (yum) with Cait (since she was in town for the weekend). Because that's what friends do! By Sunday night, I was pretty wiped out.
Overall, besides the death of my car and the leg aches Sunday morning, I had a pretty good weekend!
I am sorry that this is just a recap blog. I promise to talk about something more exciting next week. I will have a topic, and not just "what did Kasey do this weekend". Because as much fun as I had living it, I'm not sure how much fun you girls have reading about it.
I wish we were close enough, geographically speaking, that we could all hang out.
OH! I caught the last half hour of this movie called Fan Boys, and I REALLY think you girls should check it out. It's geektastic, in the BEST way!
I hope everyone is well. Caitlin, I am excited about my song! E, thanks for texting with me on a boring Friday night and try not to stress too much over college -- pie helps. Cookie, have a wonderfully AWESOME time here, we are glad to have you! Dani, I hope to see you on here soon, we miss you. Kayla, come back to the states so we can text and stuff -- but really, I hope you are having a great end of trip over in the Jolly Ol' England.
'Till next week (which is a holiday, AGAIN, at my work/school)
Hearts,
Kae

Sunday, November 22: Other
I'm sorry... I lied. Contrary to what I said last week, there will not be an actual topic this week. Though I will not guarantee it, I will say there is a better chance of there being one next week. Since I have Thanksgiving weekend to think about it, it is possible.
It's my grandmother's birthday today! I only mention this because it was Caitlin's nana's birthday last Tuesday and I find the humor in this. Both fell on our respective days too.
So, I'm extremely behind on NaNoWriMo and have almost given up... I'll be happy if I get 30,000 now. This was just the wrong year for me to try with college applications and such. I'm not completely giving up yet, because I'm trying to be hopeful for Thanksgiving, but honestly I highly doubt it.
Since Rebekah asked, I'll talk about it here. I want to go to the Northeast U.S. for college and am basically applying to most of the schools there as well as a few random ones in other places just in case I fail. Though my list is se high that I'm paranoid I won't get in anywhere. Did any of you read Catalyst by Laurie Halse Anderson? I read it in ninth grade and let's just say it ruined my confidence about getting into college even more. So, if you are not applying in the future or at least you think you're not, you can read it, if you are wait. Trust me. So, I still have a ton of college application stuff to do since regular school work keeps getting in my way, but I have been getting closer and closer (no matter how slow it may be) to finishing everything.
It's literally 11:50 as I'm typing this now and I still have homework I need to finish.
On the bright side, it's a three day week. On the negative side, there are still three days and most other areas have Wednesday off as well. I think we should get it off too, but it's not up to me. Think about it though, if Thanksgiving is Thursday and you want to visit family you can't unless you miss school on Wednesday. That's just my short rant about that.
Homework!: What are you thankful for? I know I'm so not original and some of you do not celebrate Thanksgiving, but I still want to know.
Kasey, I hope you're car issues have been resolved! Caitlin, happy less than a month from your birthday, though I'll say happy birthday much closer to the date as well. Kayla, since I think you're coming back either this week or next week, have a nice trip and post soon. Danica, hopefully a certain Maxwell finds you soon and you'll have a reason to post! Have a blast in Canada, Rebekah!
Type to you all in a week.
-Erika
(It's now 11:58... I need to stop cutting these so short to midnight... Maybe then I'll have more time to write something worth reading.)

I'm late! I'm late!
Not really, actually, but it just about 1:30 (am) here in scenic* Lexington, KY, and, considering that I have a lot to do tomorrow, I should have been in bed two hours ago. Ah, well.
My friends! Tomorrow I depart for the Great White North for the first time in my life. Our trip will be neither grand nor long (since we're visiting two cities and staying five days), but still. It is very exciting, and the second time in my life that I will have missed Thanksgiving for being outside of the country (the first was when my family visited England - great place, by the way - about six years ago, almost exactly), and the second time I'll have left the US this year.
Oh, travel. How I love and detest you, all at once.
It's really quite exciting, actually, since I went to France earlier, and now I'm off to Canada, and in a little over two years I'll be heading back to Europe for my senior trip (as my sister, Charissa, got a trip to Europe with our father in her senior year of high school - two years ago - to look at universities and generally be a tourist, and they went to Paris, Milan, and somewhere in Switzerland. So, I get a similar trip, and mine will be to Finland, particularly Helsinki), and, if I'm lucky, I'll be able to convince my parents to ship me off to somewhere exciting and new next year for the summer, since so many other students (i.e., every single magnet alive) go away their summer between junior and senior years and I hate going back to school without any stories and having to listen to the others prattle on about how great their summers were when most of them are just going to Eastern Kentucky anyway.
Kentucky is boring. Other places are not (well, some other places, anyway).
We had to go clothes shopping earlier today because I am going to be meeting admissions-type people and my parents thought it best that I have something a step above my usual cargo shorts/navy blue hoody combo. Personally, I see nothing wrong here, but they beg to differ, and as I am sixteen and not yet a legal adult (only about fifteen months left, though. So.), I must yield to their reasonable/legal demands.
So I apologize if this post is shorter than usual, but I have a biology packet, two AP Euro packets, a Spanish short story to read, and official KYRP business to complete, as well as packing and re-packing and double-packing and last-minute tourist-y planning of things. AH! So many things to do in such a short period of time... if only I could learn to stop procrastinating so much...
Anyway, until next week, my ducks, when I shall tell you of my Great Canadian Adventure!

17/11 - In Which There Is French. Once.
Bonjour! (I can’t actually speak French, but I watched Beauty and the Beast last night.)
Guess what today is! Today is my nana’s birthday! Guess what yesterday was! Yesterday was a month until my birthday!
I always really look forward to my birthday, even though they’re never anything special (but I just realised I’m wearing the pyjamas my best friend bought me for my birthday last year! Heh!). I know I’ve said this somewhere before, but I don’t remember where, so I’ll repeat; my house is too small to have a party, and because it’s so near Christmas, we can never go for a meal because everywhere is really booked up. I like my birthday being near Christmas though, because the Christmas decorations are always up so the house looks pretty, and I only have to wait just over a week for Christmas!
(My mum and I just watched Maureen Johnson– without whom we would not know each other- trapeze, and her advice at the end of this video is awesome).
So back to Christmas; You know what I like? Christmas Eve. I always get new pyjamas (as well as at least two pairs on Christmas that almost never fit). I like watching films on Christmas Eve, and trying to stay up so I’ll sleep through the night, which never works and I always wake up at 2am.
It’s only November. I’ll talk about this more on the 1st of December!
So Doctor Who was on on Sunday. HE MENTIONED LIVERPOOL IN IT. DO YOU REALISE HOW HAPPY THIS MADE ME? THAT’S WHERE I AM AND THE DOCTOR ACKNOWLEDGES ITS EXISTANCE.
My mum always used to watch this show, Spaced, and it’s on telly again now, so we’ve been watching it the past couple of weeks. It’s absolutely hilarious! Here’s a little funny clip from last night’s episode (channel 4 rudely disabled the embedding!) ;
Remember; my mum and I are very easily amused.
I’m avoiding my NaNo. I fell behind and I don’t have time to catch up on week days and on the weekend’s I’m tired and I think it’s going to eat me while I sleep. I’ll be finished by the 30th if I write roughly 2,500 words a day. I’m going to have to do that, aren’t I? -sob-
Now I have to go find my enormous IT booklet that I lost sometime this week, so bye!

Conversations With F5
Since I am way behind on my NaNo words, and by "way behind" I clearly mean BEHIND IN EPIC PROPORTIONS, and I have had a crazy week, and I really don't know how to even begin with something interesting (I could tell you about my awesome shoe shopping this afternoon, but no one wants that... do you?), I have decided to transcribe the conversation I will be having with my best friend, right after I am done writing this introduction, since I am on the phone with her anyway, and she has a FAR MORE EXCITING life than I do.
Yes, that was once sentence, AND YOU LOVED IT! Shall we begin?
Me: I'm going to transcribe our conversation, because I don't really have anything to talk about in my blog. How do you feel about that?
F5: Um... Okay.
(She sounds excited, doesn't she?!)
Me: Okay, I'm done writing the introduction, what do you want to talk about?
F5: Um, I think we are going out on Friday.
("we" being the boy she likes, lets call him Duck, and her)
Me: Wai--what-- Hold on!
F5: What are you writing, your blog or your novel?
Me: My blog. Why, does it matter?
F5: No, just curious.
Me: So, um, what do mean, you think you --
F5: Hold on.
(She's texting ... probably Duck. She does this often when we talk. I do too, so it's okay! Also, it gives me a chance to put in awesome interjections like this! Twofold! This text is taking a while...Oh!)
F5: Sorry.
Me: That's okay. Uh, what do you mean "you think"?
F5: I don't think... we are.
Me: So what happened?
F5: we were just talking... about my interview -- and I got rid of my shift, and it was a huge relief. (She's explaining faster than I can write. It's about her job... she has an interview with this other, better company. And she's nervous about telling her current job. There was talk of spies, and stealing, and bargaining.) He said how about dinner and a movie or diamonds!
Me: So you're just like, OKAY?
F5: Well, I said, if you insist on diamonds, I don't know, but dinner and a movie sounds good. Then he goes "I'm good with any movie, except New Moon. YUK. Vampires don't want love, they want blood!" ... [laugh] ... How are you not enjoying this?!
Me: OH! [laughing hysterically] I am! I just need to try and write down everything you said!
F5: What?! Stop! [Laughs]
Me: Okay! [Laughs]
And thus you can see me acting a little ditsy. It's fun, when you've been dating the same guy (although I do love The Boy) for 6.75 years, to live vicariously through your very awesome friends. It's very cute, new love. Their revelry is very infectious.
That's enough nauseating for one blog. I will TRY REALLY HARD to complete your challenges. My challenge? Include one of my favourite words. Clearly, I am going easy on you girls!
I hope everyone is well and good and is still awesome (I know you are!) I will see you all next week, with a real blog, and not some strange conversation (or part thereof) with my best friend.
HEARTS!
Kae

And thus you can see me acting a little ditsy. It's fun, when you've been dating the same guy (although I do love The Boy) for 6.75 years, to live vicariously through your very awesome friends. It's very cute, new love. Their revelry is very infectious.
That's enough nauseating for one blog. I will TRY REALLY HARD to complete your challenges. My challenge? Include one of my favourite words. Clearly, I am going easy on you girls!
I hope everyone is well and good and is still awesome (I know you are!) I will see you all next week, with a real blog, and not some strange conversation (or part thereof) with my best friend.
HEARTS!
Kae
My FAVOURITE WORDS: sneaky
Reading: Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging (Louise Rennison)
This post title inspired by: Conversations with God (Neale Walsch)
What's in my head? STILL <3
P.S.
F5: I can't believe you are embarrassing me on the internet!
Me: That's just how I do. ...Yo.

Sunday, November 15: Book Fair & NaNoWriMo
Hey BEDFAY!
Well, I'm not sure how much I have to say today, but we'll see...
I went to the Miami Book Fair almost the entirety of yesterday and today. It was fun. I didn't get to see too many authors because I was helping Books & Books, but I did go to Meg Cabot's event yesterday and she remembered YAthenaeum from the event last February, which was cool. She even remembered we did the time-warp. I also went to Sherman Alexie's event today. He was purely hilarious and completely awesome.
In NaNoWriMo news, I haven't progressed much... I'm a little over 13,000 words now. I'm going to try to get over 15,000 this weekend, but since I have a ton of homework and was at the book fair all weekend, that's probably not possible. Unless I include some more reader analyses of The Tempest or The Importance of Being Earnest, but that will probably be extremely boring if I include too many. A few is okay because of my novel, but more than that would be bothersome. Though I'm still extremely behind. I'm hoping that Thanksgiving weekend is productive for me or I'm not sure how this will be possible... Some of you still owe me what you would want your names to be in my novel.
This week I've also progressed a lot on college applications and things, which is awesome. I'm that much closer to being done. Oh, and Rebekah, hopefully next year I'm in someplace cold as well.
In Maxwell news, he's on his way to Danica. And speaking of Danica? I thought you promised me you would post last week...
And that pretty much concludes my week. Though as always I'm probably forgetting things... Next week I'll try to actually have a topic to go on about instead of just a discussion about my week.
Homework!: Another challenge... Somehow reference BEDFAY in your novel. It could be as simple as mentioning a doll named Maxwell, mentioning a blog subtlety, or anything you can think of where we would go, "Oh! That's for us!"
Type to you all in a week.
