THERE'S A TARDIS IN MY BEDROOM!!!

5/29/2012

10 Comments

 
Hello from the last day of my teenage life! Also my first day of working at a legit job, which is why I didn’t post this in the morning like I usually do. I actually got home several hours ago, but then I sat down in front of the TV to watch episodes of Doctor Who on my DVR. Yay procrastination Doctor style! And speaking of the Doctor…

You guys are pretty much the best friends ever :) Those of you not in Bowling Green will probably have heard about (and seen on Facebook) my Doctor-rific birthday party on Saturday. We ate TARDIS cookie cake in the park, and then I was told that I had to find my
birthday present. Sanaa and Amber were in charge of telling me whether I was “hot” or “cold” (which led to far too much singing of a certain Katie Perry song…). Before they would take me to it, though, I had to get through several “challenges,” such as playing the alphabet game in the cemetery and walking
around blindfolded (but they didn't bring a blindfold, so this meant having Amber walk behind me covering my eyes), having to trust Sanaa to tell me the right direction to go. After a long, long, long time, this finally led me back to the parking lot, where Jill and Anna Beth were waiting with the 10th Doctor and his TARDIS to take us all back to the Mesozoic Era (aka Dinosaur World)! The aforementioned 10th Doctor is technically Shelbeiber, but don’t worry Shelby! Shelbeiber can easily come back when school starts! For now, though, David Tennant is sitting in the TARDIS in my room :D By the way, I put the head back on last night, and it was totally freaking Reni out. I have several pictures on my phone of him just staring at it, looking like he might attack. It was really adorable. Not to mention that he’s hardly left the TARDIS since it got here :P Yeah. Cats are totally better.
So now it’s time for Question Tuesday!

Dwain:
Who would play me, Leang, Johnny, Matthew Johns, and Nathaniel?
Augh! Why are you doing this to me again?!?!?!?!
Dwain-
Leang-
Johnny-
Matthew Johns-
Nathaniel-
You know what? I have no idea. So I’m going to agree with Sanaa and say it’d be best just to have a casting call.
Why did you neglect us? Did “all of us” exclude the guys?
Yes, Dwain, in this case “all of us” did exclude you, since the question referred to those writing the blog, as opposed to every single friend that I have.
What do you think about Taylor Lautner portraying me? (just kidding you can ignore this question)
…
If “all of us” excluded the guys, then when you say “challenge for you guys” does that mean the challenge is directed for only me, Leang, Johnny, Matthew Johns, and Nathaniel and any other male who reads the blog?
Dwain, there’s something you should know about the English language. When people say “guys,” it is perfectly and linguistically acceptable for them to mean “people” in general, as opposed to referring directly to only half the population. In this case, for example, I was
 referring mostly to females, seeing as they make up the biggest part of the readership, though of course anyone, regardless of sex, is free to respond to said challenge.
Also, I wasn’t aware that Leang, Johnny, Matthew Johns, and Nathaniel read this blog. Do they?
Can you ignore me putting “me” at the beginning of the lists in the previous
question?

Well not now, I can’t. Though I don’t see the significance in it.
Why was Anna Beth the only one to ask questions last week?
Because she’s the most awesome one out of all the dozen or so people who read this blog :)
Anna Beth:
Which of Snow White’s 7 Dwarves would each of us be?
Sleepy- Amy
Sneezy- Anna Beth
Dopey- Sanaa
Doc- Rachael
Bashful- Amber
Grumpy- Jill
Happy- Shelby
Disclaimer: this was kind of tough. Several of the were really easy (like Amy and AB…) but then I got down to, like, Bashful and Grumpy, and my choices were dwindling, so those aren’t
quite so fitting as I felt the others were. Especially Bashful. Sorry Ambah, you’re probably more like Doc or Happy, but the spaces were filling up…

Anna Beth also asked me a bunch of other questions, but seeing as she just asked them today, and I’m just now getting around to posting this, I’ll save those for next week. Sorry…

Also, I have a question for you guys this week. I think a couple of you have heard the song “Abraham’s Daughter” by Arcade Fire? From the Hunger Games album? If you haven’t, or would like to listen to it again, here’s the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WCoJv192VY. I really like this song, but the lyrics kind of confused me, so I looked it up to see what other people thought about it. So what I’d like you guys to do is give your opinions on the metaphorical correlations: who do you think the song means by the angel?
Abraham? The daughter? Isaac? Explanations would also be appreciated. Then I’ll give you my thoughts next week :)

Ok, so this week’s Question Tuesday winner is…Dwain. I wasn’t going to let him win, since his Questions were all so purposely annoying, but they were relevant and interesting to think about. Plus, he’s teaching me Japanese… So that’s all for today! I’ll talk to you guys in the comments :)

Love,

Sara

Really, Sara? I help build you a TARDIS and yet you choose to disregard my questions and make Dwain the favourite?! :p

Because you've never been favorite before, right? :P
And you're still not British, no matter how you spell the word.
Love you!

i like how anna beth is spelling words the british way. i usually throw a "u"' in 'humor' and 'neighbor' and sometimes 'color' because i think they look better with the 'u'. i'm reading a book that's translated from swedish and uses british spellings.

the question redarding the placement of 'me' was because my usage was grammatically incorrect right? and you tend to correct grammar so i asked for you to ignore it.

why is it that i'm your favorite when i ask questions? is it because i don't ask often? favourite*

how often do you check for questions? do you check compulsively so you can have the most time to think if they're philosophical or do you wait until the night before?

have you been practicing your hiragana?

and an easy question: how many questions have i asked? (both overall and for this week)

The "me" looked fine to me. What exactly did you think was wrong with it?

What questions haven't been asked?
Can there be too much justice?
How do you feel about oatmeal?
What do you see yourself doing in 3 months?
How does it feel to be 20?
Do you feel old? Especially now that Will O'Connor has graduated?
Why does it take so long for a new Lizzie Bennett video to be released?
