30 Day Blog Challenge.

Now I know that a mentioned that I was doing a four week writing prompt and that I would post some up on my blog but I obviously haven't been! So I stumbled across this on someone elses blog and I thought this wold be the perfect thing to write about and it will make me update everyday! :)


Day One - A photo of yourself and a description of how your day was.

So this is the most recent picture I have on my computer! It was the day after I dyed my hair brown (previously it was blonde!) so this was taken on Sunday. Now, how was my day. My day was very good actually, I got a lot done! I went out and bought all of my school books so I have them all organized and ready for school. Which is exactly one week...but that is another matter all together! So yes, I think I had a very good day, I spent the morning and some of the afternoon with my little sister and we actually got along so no complaints there! Then I did my shopping and when I got home me and my dad watched a movie together. Now that I am typing out what I did today it actually doesn't sound as if I did that much, but the books piled high beside my bed beg to differ! I am actually getting a little excited about starting a new school year! It's going to be different classes, I have different hair, a different attiude. This year will definitely be different and I cannot wait if I'm being honest! I will be working very hard this year, I have a very full course! Then I will be moving in January! Oh life, I cannot wait. Well, I guess my ramble about my day turned into a ramble about the future? Eh, the point of this blog was just to give me an outlet to write about the most random things and life. :)

Shamefully... Degrassi Again!

*Clare and Eli make out.*
Eli: I gotta go, I have a french exam.
Clare: Oh you passed.

Clare: Or maybe you could lie low with your girlfriend?
Eli: Yeah, girlfriend.

Okay so unfortunately I am writing this WHILE I am watching it so I keep writing paragraphs but then having to backspace the whole thing because something else happens that contridicts what I was saying!

Okay the show is now over. I think I am safe to write what I want now. I have caught up with the past two episodes and all I can really say is...holy crap. There are only two episodes left...how they are going to wrap this up I do not know, but I know it is going to be good. Eli and Clare FINALLY became a couple in this episode but now I think they are broken up? 'Cause Clare is going to the dance with Fitz, who is practically Eli and Adam's worst enemy. Then! The episode ended with Drew, who is dating Alli, going into the boiler room with Bianca! Drama-rama-rama!

Okay, so I will stop my ramble about Degrassi because I really don't want to turn this blog into me talking about T.V.! So I think I will keep this post short and sweet and I'll update later or tomorrow with something more exciting!

DEGRASSI.

Kay so, twice in a row, woo, but onto way more important things...DEGRASSI. :

I know I am a little late on this, but I JUST watched the promo for the final week (this week) and now I'm glad that I did wait because if I had watched that any earlier I think I would have absolutely DIED. Okay, that was a long sentence with a lot of connecting words...but only one thing is running hrough my mind right now as I continue hyperventilating and shaking; ELIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!

So maybe my addiction with this show is unhealthy but add on the fact that in the promo Eli gets a KNIFE drawn on him in a deserted hallway, with Clare watching, by Fitz it looks like, at least I assume it's Fitz. I mean he definitely has a grudge against Eli with Eli making him the whole fake I.D. with a arsonist name on it and everything. ANYWAYS, I missed tonight's episode too!!!

So basically this is how my past ten minutes have gone:

10:20- Anna was innocently reading her daily dose of FanFiction which happened to be about Eclare when she saw that floorplanhobo had left an author's note saying: "... I am extremely amused at the fact that I had this chapter outlined way before the promo for the season finale came out. Are you stealing my ideas, Degrassi? ;)" What? Intrigued Anna realized that she had never watched the Degrassi season finale promo. So Anna decided to hop on over to her beloved YouTube to watch said promo.

10:24- Anna finishes watching said promo and starts hyperventilating, trying to calm down by taking deep breaths and finally when she calms down enough to take deep, calming breaths she realized that her hands were shaking uncontrollably. All I could could make out was Eli, Eli, Eli, NO! Because said promo, ends with Eli against a door, and the guy with the knife, let's just call him Fitz for kicks, well "Fitz" is blocking him. So "Fitz" has Eli backed into a corner!!!! With a knife in his hand! :( :( :( :(

10:26- Anna realizes that she missed tonight's episode of Degrassi and starts flipping out all over again!

10:28- You could find Anna on muchmusic.com to see if they have the episode up yet, which of course they don't!

10:29- You could find Anna sitting on her bed not sure what to do.

And that brings us back to the present...

For some reason this blog has turned into Anna's Favorite T.V. Shows? I don't know but I had to put this up, I just had to rant about this for a little while. Wanna know the saddest part of my life...I WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE TOMORROW'S EPISODE EITHER!!! :(

I am going to Nova Scotia tomorrow, I am leaving at ten o'clock tomorrow! So that means that if they don't have tonight's episode up before 9:15 tomorrow I won't be able to see tonight's OR tomorrow's episode, which will lead to a VERY angry Anna on this trip... It will also lead to an Anna who will be on her laptop at 1:00am when I get home tomorrow watching the new episodes online. *sigh* Degrassi...

Well I think I am going to end this ramble about Degrassi because I have gotten all that I needed to get out and my friend just called me. :) So tomorrow night, or early Wednesday morning I will hopefully put up a new update telling you all about my trip to Nova Scotia, including the FIVE hour car drive! I'll tell you all about it!

Bye for now! Peaceee! xoxo.

Random ramble on CSI...?

Hello Guys! So I am updating again, second post this weekend! I am getting better at this! So I don't really have anything to write about right now. I am however watching a very interesting of CSI: New York. I must admit, I'm not a big fan of CSI: New York, I'm a CSI: Crime Scene Investigation kind of girl. The old episodes too, when it was the original team; Grissom, Sarah, Catherine, Warrick, Nick and even Greg! :) I have a secret crush on Greg, I'm not sure why, I just find him and his cute, geeky ways absolutely adorable! It's kind of weird, I have a thing for the geeks on practically every crime scene show! Take Criminal Minds for example, I love Spencer Reid! Matthew Gray Grubler. Now, most people don't even find him cute, but I find him down right sexy! I know...I really need help. I can't help it, for some reason I just adore him! I'm not sure why... I love him in real life and in the show! He is an amazing actor in real life, and his character in the show is just...wow. Spencer Reid, or should I say Dr. Reid is so intelligent! Like whoa...

I'm sorry, I just went on a random ramble about frickin' CSI, Criminal Minds and my obsession with t.v. nerds? I don't even understand myself...but this is what happens when I tell myself I have to update my blog and I have nothing to write about. But it's nice, to just write about random stuff, I know that none of this stuff is serious or anything but it feels nice to just get it off of my chest! Well that's it for now. Hopefully when I update next I will have something more important to say!

Simple Pleasures Prompt!

So I will fully admit that I am horrible with updating this blog...I try, I really do but whenever I am on the computer something else always seems to catch my eye...I apologize. Hopefully once school starts updates will come more frequently and regularly! I will have to make a schedule where I will update my blog at least once a week. It gives me creative freedom where I can express myself instead of being trapped my the walls of a specific plot which recently is what has been happening to me! So on with the Simple Pleasures Prompt which I mentioned in my last post back around the first of August. Now I won't lie, I have not been doing this daily like the prompt calls for...it's terrible to admit that I can't even spare 10 minutes in my day for the prompt! I have just been so busy with life, now that summer is coming to an end I have been trying to get out as much as I can before the colder weather comes back! So hopefully I will finish this prompt soon, I might have to take the time to write a couple prompts a day because as it's looking write now I won't finish in the month that was planned! So I will remind you of the rules of the Simple Pleasures Prompt and then start writing!

Prompt 95: List 31 simple pleasures. Every day for 4 weeks, write about one pleasure for five minutes.

The simple pleasure I'll be writing about is: Silence

Silence is something that none of us really think of, unless you live in a house where it never is silent. Where there is always someone screaming or a t.v. is blaring, phones are ringing. When the only time it is silent is when it is two in the morning and you are still up writing away on your computer. You get where I'm coming from? Unless you deal with this you never will understand the true beauty of silence, however I bet most of us have been in the situation where you are ready to slam your head against the wall for some peace and quiet. It happens to me daily. Sometimes you just can't take anymore.

Then there comes the time where everything around you is silent. It might be that you are home alone, or it is late at night and you are the only person insane enough to be still up. Whatever the reason is, silence is a simple pleasure. It is sometimes a rare occurence and whenever the noise finally quiets down I relish it. Who knows when it will happen next? So I close my eyes and just relax, let my mind drift...I enjoy it throughly because I know that the next thing I know all the noise will start back up and all will be back to normal.

Silence, I love it! At the moment however, I am getting none of it. I hear my brother and his girlfriend yelling at each other in the next room and I am trying to drown them out with my radio. Which in short, is not working. So it was a little hard to write about silence when I can barely remember what it is like.

Just a heads up, now that I am looking over the list I made it seems that it turned into 31 Things Anna loves. However I think that's okay so I will not be changing my list. :)

I hope you all are having a wonderful Friday!

New Prompts...

So recently I googled "writing prompts" and I found this prompt.

Prompt 95: List 31 simple pleasures. Every day for 4 weeks, write about one pleasure for five minutes.

This website has over 300 prompts for you to choose from, 346 to be exact, and all of them are different, creative ways to get you writing. Now, I saw the selection the had and I was floored, I didn't know which one to choose! So I randomly scrolled over number 95 and now I'm glad I did. I think this excercise will be a great way to recognize all the simple things in life that we all enjoy! It's a great way to stop being so vain and worrying about all the wrong things! Although, I might not follow the 5 minute rule. As soon as I start writing, it's hard for me to stop until I'm finished. So having a time limit to get what I want to say across won't work! So I decided to start this prompt today, hopefully I will be finished around the first of school and I will share a select few prompts with you! Today I think my simple pleasure will be...writing, because it is literally the simplest thing you can do. All you need is a pen and paper, or a computer. Plus, it's my favorite thing to do!

So, what about you? What are your simple pleasures in life? Something you enjoy to do with friends, by yourself or on a rainy day?? Comment and let me know!
