To End BEDA, I Shall Be Voicing My Opinion
of Arizona.
If any of you have been in touch with the news lately, you’ve heard about the bill that allows for racial profiling. More recent though, was the bill that bans ethnic studies programs. From what I read about them, they’re classes that focus on a certain culture? Like Native American studies, or Mexican studies? From an article from FoxNews, The new bill would make it...

Today
was the state jazz festival in Phoenix. We got a rating of good(if you know anything about the grading standards of music festivals, a good isn’t all that good). I think overall, we felt that we did pretty well after we finished our set. There were things that could have been better though but we didn’t feel like total failure I think. The clinician guy even said we did pretty well....

I Figure I Should Post Before I Forget
So my phone has these apps that let me read books on it. It’s like I have my own mini Kindle! But way more cool looking. Right now I’m reading Pride and Prejudice. I tried reading it in middle school but I got halfway through and the librarians said I couldn’t check it out anymore because I re-checked it out so many times. So maybe this time I’ll finally finish it. I...

So I Met This Brazilian Guy On Omegle
And he was really cool. We talked for a few hours and it was really interesting. Then I decided to clean around my computer. I put my keyboard on top of my mouse and guess what happened? It disconnected me! I was so sad! So I tweeted him, but I don’t know if he got it. So I went back on Omegle and asked everyone if they were Gustavo. Which they weren’t. But then I met this person. They...

So After Doing Some Searching On Here
I’ve realized a lot of people are in love with Alan Rickman. This makes me excited because I too love Rickman as well as Severus Snape. Everyone seems to only mention Harry Potter, Die Hard, Galaxy Quest, Sense and Sensibility, or Robin Hood when they talk about him though.
So I ask, what about Romeo and Juliet, Closet Land, or Dogma? Or any other Rickman film? Personally, I think he plays...

Sometimes I Talk On Omegle
just to I can talk to someone. Maybe in hopes that I can meet a Nerdfighter boy. Maybe in hopes that I can be in Nerdfighterlike. Or maybe simply in hopes that I can make a friend because I’ve realized I’m lacking in the friends area badly.

I Can't Believe I Did It Again
It’s so close to the end of the month and I’m slacking. Yesterday I was so tired, I went to lay down on the couch, watch a bit of tv, and I ended up falling asleep at like 8.45.
So yesterday, a bill was passed in Arizona(the state I live in) that basically allows law enforcement(or the Gestapo as I like to call them) to racially profile people. From what I understand of the bill, the...

Ahh! I Forgot to Post Yesterday!
How sad. I came home from school yesterday, got to filming and editing my vlog, practiced my sax, and after I uploaded the video I told myself, ahh, I’ll eat dinner then post. Then I watched tv and fell asleep. Whoops! haha.
So here’s a link to the collab channel. http://www.youtube.com/thenerdfightersclub
It seems like now that the school year is winding down, the weeks are just...

BEDA, Day 20
This day, two months ago, I decided I wanted to try being vegetarian. On the 22nd is the day it started.
So, a pretty uneventful day. We have AC now! It’s pretty nice. I’ve had the longest conversation with my new friend since that night on omegle tonight too. Granted it was pretty short, but it was nice.
The wire of my braces is rubbing against the side of my mouth. It doesn’t...

BEDA, Day 19
My teeth hurt. This is because I got my braces tightened this morning. Also, the wire is a bit too long and it’s cutting into the side of my mouth. Fun huh? But at least I know the impacted tooth that’s the reason for the braces is coming down. It feels like what I would think a puppy tooth feels like. This is good news because if braces didn’t help my tooth down, the next option...

Stayed Up 'Til Two Thirty This Morning,
just to finish Will Grayson, Will Grayson only to realized that I had nothing to read between classes today. What a bummer.
What else is a bummer is when you sleep for three hours, wake up feeling like you’ve slept til nine, very relaxed, and think to yourself, ah yes; Saturday. Only to realize it’s Friday.
But onto my opinion of the book! As well as SPOILERS!
Beware.

How Can A Teacher Say The Only Resources We Can...
are books? In today’s world, we rely so much on the internet. It’s the place we can quickly get all the information we need for an essay. And we can rest assure that the information we need will never be checked out by another person. It’ll always be there. That can’t be said for physical books. And while I prefer books over e books for leisurely reading, I don’t...

So I Was Listening to Snape Vs. Snape
and I realized that I’m totally in love with Severus Snape. I mean, yeah, I already knew that. But ah, listening to that song made me want to go read fanfiction where he’s snarky and dark, but there’s also a good side in him. I don’t know, I feel weird trying to explain it. So I won’t. But he’s definitely my favorite Harry Potter character.
Does anyone else...

Glee
Well, for the most part. I actually don’t like a lot of things about the show. It’s very corny and cliche(but at the same time that’s a reason why I like it). The songs are ridiculous though. Does the band even have a life? It always seems like they’re always there, no matter what the time, ready for whatever the Glee club throws at them. And they do it perfectly the first...

Let's Just Pretend That I Blogged Yesterday
BEDA, Day 11.
I didn’t have much to say yesterday besides Doctor Who. Which is what it is today too but oh well. I’m starting to watch the classic shows now. The beginning episodes are a little strange. I’m anxious to get to Tom Baker though, out of all the classic Doctors, he’s the one who’s always mentioned as the favorite.
Today I was at Hastings looking for a...

Why is it that the band I’ve wanted to see in Arizona for so long now finally comes for a show but it turns out to be the same weekend of a band trip that I actually don’t have to go to but I feel that I would have wasted a hundred bucks that I would have saved for going on that trip so I’m going to go but I’ve been dying to see them for like a year now and now...

I'm Determined to Finish Watching Doctor Who...
Episode eleven out of thirteen of season 4; almost done. Then later I’ll re watch the The End Of Time. These episodes just keep getting scarier and scarier. It’s a build up of what’s to come. I know this end is going to be intense. Rose is finally appearing in this upcoming episode. She keeps secretly showing up throughout the last few episodes and it’s been driving me mad...

I wish I had known about Neutral Milk Hotel before Will Grayson, Will Grayson came out. What an amazing band. “The greatest no-name band of the last decade” They kind of remind me of Bright Eyes. My phone says there’s a few stores in town that carry their cds but I feel that it’s not a cd I could buy at stores like Best Buy but rather order it at our local music store. Ya...

My One Day Without Shoes
More or less. Today made me realize a lot of things.
I started out the day going to school barefoot(which only consisted of walking from my house to my car then from my car to the school). It felt kinda of awkward because, well the obvious. I figured that since I wasn’t only half in dress code that I would keep my shoes on because of the looming administration nazis. Though I did think...

One Day Without Shoes →
(Click the title!)
So today’s BEDA entry will be about tomorrow’s event. I’m sure you’ve heard of the organization called TOMS(they were in that one AT&T commercial). Well they’ve put together a day to “spread awareness about the impact a simple pair of shoes can have on a child’s life. On April 8th, we ask people to go the day, part of the day or even...

"They were so proud of me. The Face of Boe, they...
So today my school did math. All. Day. Long. It was quite ridiculous but I guess we need it because we have such low math scores. Despite my being a Nerdfighter, I don’t really care for math too much. But it was a day where I didn’t have to think much, so I rather enjoyed that. I thought my pre-ordered copy of Will Grayson Will Grayson would come in the mail today, since it officially...

Is it normal for a fresh clarinet player's arms to...
Played clarinet in Community Band tonight. Haven’t really played it in three years. Oddly, for the same reasons; too many trumpet players in my opinion and not enough clarinets(back in 8th grade, I was playing trumpet for the elementary beginning band) and too many saxophones and too few clarinets. It’s been fun. I realize that saxophone players, the serious ones, branch out into other...

If You Want To Be Famous Because You Want To Be...
I often wonder if I made the right choice by pursuing music. I mean, I absolutely love it but sometimes I get so frustrated. I’m in four different bands and private lessons; the top concert band and jazz band in my high school and community band and jazz 2 for the college. I enjoy the concert bands very much but the jazz bands are a different story. Being in the top jazz band at school means...

Earthquake! Run!
Today has been really eventful to say the least. I had to wake up at 5 to go with my mother to set up church for sunrise Easter service(but I really just stayed in the car and watched Doctor Who). Had a pancake breakfast at the church. Went home, tried to watch more Doctor Who but took a nap. My mother and I went out to my Grandma’s house and then we all went to my aunt and uncles for a...

So Exhausted.
Today I went to San Diego to see Legally Blonde the musical. We also went to this indian restaurant because it had a vegetarian section. I went to Urban Outfitters and got a vegetarian cookbook for college kids. I felt like writing more but I’m too tired. Oh well. Oh yeah, I’m doing BEDA! Whoo!
