Day 289- The Day I Was Recognized By One Of My Many Heroes

I'm sure I've mentionned my favourite fanfiction author farewelltokings (who, for the longest time, I thought named herself after the author Tolkein. Don't ask me why. I jut found out that it's actually after the Rush album Farewell To Kings.) But, I've mentionned her. Today, she mentionned me!!!!!!
After a long, arduous Ficmas day, and responding to all the broken-hearted people who left me reviews (hers being the most common), she posted a new chapter to one of my favourite stories, Son Of Life. (Alex Lifeson joke. Only Rush nerds will understand.) Not only did I squeal when I saw that she had a brand-new chapter, BUT SHE DEDICATED IT TO ME!!!!!
I seriously freaked out for a solid ten minutes. These are her exact words:

I mean, how awesome is that?!
Since I'm the only one who actually leaves reviews on this story, and I know she loves getting reviews, I made mine extra-long, so that it's two or three times my normal review length.
I know what you're probably thinking: "ugh, just get a room already!"
I'm not going to do that, but I would very much like to co-author a story with her. I've got three relatively good ideas, and one has Rush, so maybe we could do that one.

Day 288- WKRP In Cincinnati

During a lovely and festive Christmas celebration, I unwrapped a boxed set of the complete set of WKRP In Cincinnati. If you folks are anything like me, you will have no idea what I'm talking about. The afformentionned boxed set was of a show, starting in 1978 about a radio station and the people who worked there. I was wary of the seemingly-easily worn-out plot, but I gave it a shot.
Someone might disagree with me, but I thoroughly enjoyed the first episode, pulling out my 'whose line' guaffaw.
The characters are a tad cliched, but they still seem fresh, as the show is so old. (Except for Jennifer. She's cute and all, but she's just there to be the eyes candy. Any smirky blonde could have played her. Keep in mind, I'm only 2/3s done season 1, but that's my judgement based on those episodes.)
But Andy, though. Andy is my eye candy. He's sweet, smart, pretty, actually funny, and he's one of the most likeable characters.

Did I mention he's pretty?

Day 280- Return To School

I hate school with a passion. Everything about it. It stresses me out, it wastes my time, I barely learn anything within the hours that I'm there. It's gradual, sure, but gradual isn't enough for me anymore.
I thought I was doing okay all weekend. My shoulder wasn't twitching, I wasn't irritable. It was very nice. First period in school today, my shoulder wouldn't stop twitching.
I'm sick of the eternal stress. Of the eternal fake people.
Everyone's always trash talking everyone else behind their backs, and it's just ugly. People are horrible.

Not all people, though.
This one is okay.

Day 279- The End Of My Long Weekend

I spent my day listening to Van Halen and working on the little story, as well as doing a little drabble I called "Another Blonde"
(A drabble is a story of exactly 100 words.)
Sure, I saw them.
Michael, Alex, Eddie…
Sammy.
Yeah, I saw Sammy.
Saw their videos.
Replaced me with another blonde.
Van Halen always needs a blonde.
Is it an unwritten rule?
I heard their music. 
It’s… new.
Eddie doesn’t solo anymore. He barely even plays guitar.
Sammy plays guitar.
I know I’m the one who left, but I still speak his name like it’s a dirty word.
He replaced me; he replaced Eddie.
He’s living my life, the life I should have had.
If only Eddie hadn’t been such a stubborn dick.
If only I hadn’t been a dick, too.

It was fun to write, anyway.

Day 278- Saturday (Day Off #2)

I watched Rush In Rio all day, and kept pretending to work on my little Van Halen thing.

Day 277- Day Off Number 1

On my first day off, I watched Whose Line Is It Anyway all day, wrote a Jagger X Bowie fanfic for ficmas, finished my little Izzy and Steven thing, and started a Roth X Eddie Van Halen thingy.
So, that was fun.

Day 276- ?4

Day 272- Done Working

I finally finished the stupid project, after working for longer than I've ever worked on any project ever. I had to write and illustrate an entire original fairy tale, and I went above and beyond, binding my own fairy tale book, coloring a section of the page with dirt, so as to have the correct color.
Since then, I've just sorta been reading fanfiction.

Day 271- Still Working

Project's taking a long time.

Day 270- Working On A Project

So I can't blog.

Day 269- The Start Of A Very Bad Day

Ever have that feeling where you're just going nuts? Everything irritates you and it takes every ounce of self-control not to injure anyone? That's what I was feeling all day.
I don't know if it's just teenage hormones or being a teenager in general, but my day was just so bad, and it was because of everyone around me.
My fabulous day started as I slept in 40 minutes, then went downstairs after everyone else. Since Alan and Dad are going on a vacation for a week, they wanted to find my digital camera. See, we have a cupboard where all the family cameras are supposed to be stored, but I always keep mine in its case, in my closet. Unfortunately, no one realises that. After Mom and Dad going through the closet and finding the old case (with no camera in it) they asked me where mine was. But, they said they had found the case, but with no camera in it. As can be assumed, I thought they were talking about the case I actually kept my camera in, and that I had maybe put my camera in the cupboard. I don't really care about the entire situation, so I generally ignored their search.
A few minutes later, Dad comes storming in, demanding that I turn off my laptop and help them look. When I ask exactly what they found, Dad kept repeating that they had found the big case, but not the sony case, over and over. When I told him I didn't understand what he was talking about, he started yelling at me, and calling me an idiot.
If that wasn't bad enough, when I went downstairs to find exactly which case they had found, I saw that they had only found the old case with nothing in it. Irritated, I marched upstairs and withdrew not only the correct Sony case from my closet, but the camera and charger inside it.

That was about when my entire day started to suck.
It only takes one person to ruin my entire day.

Day 268- Let's Make A Date

I finally got caught up on TMNT 2012. Now, I know why I don't watch dramas like this until they're finished. (Don't tell me TMNT isn't a drama. April was just brainwashed by an alien crystal, killed Donnie, almost killed Raph, then brought Donnie back to life. It is the most intense part of my life.)
The last episode aired on November 20, so the next one should be out soon, in theory.
Besides that, I made cookies. Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. They were delicious.
The only problem is that I was forced to bake cookies. It's weird; I'll do the most random, time-consuming things out of my own free will with no questions asked, but if I'm told to do those same things, I will complain about them the entire time.
The rest of the day, I just wrote and watched TMNT and Whose Line. I recently discovered (since I only watch clips, and not full episodes) a new game on Whose Line, called "Let's Make A Date". In that game, they work it as if it was a cheesy 70's dating show, but every bachelor has a quirk or personality written on a card and given to them, such as:

It's awesome. Especially the ones where they involve each other. There was one where Colin was having secret, passionate love affairs with Ryan's shoe and Wayne's shoe, and had to coose between them. (He chose Ryan's shoe.)

Day 267- My Lack Of A Life

Today, once I went into the basement at 6am, I only came out for a total of 2 and a half hours. It is 8:47pm as I write this.
What did I do with all that time, you ask?
Very little.
I wrote, I listened to music, and I watched "Whose Line".
My produtivity wasn't very high, but it doesn't matter much, because I'm getting an impromptu three-day weekend.
You see, the teachers at my school board are going on strike, starting tomorrow. Originally, they planned on working to rule, which involved them only showing up for school 20 minutes before class. The problem with that is that there are some buses that drop kids of more than twenty minutes before class, so it's unsafe for them to be locked out of the school, so everything is closed until further notice.
I guess I don't mind, but my entire schedule is going to be thrown off. I'm just glad that I brought home my french homework.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll invite CJ over or something. Human interaction might be good for a hermit like me.

P.S. Ryan Stiles is 6'6". According to the laws of Kat, if you are taller than Duff McKagan (6'3") you are considered freakishly tall. I no longer blame Drew for calling him a 'tall freak'.

Day 266- The Best Parts Of "Whose Line"

I literally spent all day watching "Whose Line Is It Anyway", and I've noticed my favorite parts of the show happen more often than one would expect. By my favorite parts, I don't mean specific games, I mean things that happen that aren't planned. Such as:
When Drew gets made fun of during Scenes From A Hat and makes this face:

Every time this happens:

When Ryan freaks out over hoedowns, or just makes it known that he despises them:

Bald jokes:

When Colin gets revenge on the bald jokes:

When Colin is the last one singing at the end of an Irish drinking song because everyone else is laughing too hard:

The entire Narrate game in general, and the hijinks that ensue:

Day 265- Several GIFS Of Robert

Social studies today was a bore and a half. The teacher assigned me a single question to do over an hour-long class. If you know me, you know that I don't take forever to do questions, because I don't talk to people, especially in social studies. I do my work and I listen to music. Some days, if I'm lucky, I watch YouTube and my teacher lets me. Today, I just scrolled through Pinterest and pinned every GIF that showed up of Robert Plant.
As nothing else happened today, here they are:
