Hi.
I bet you're all thinking, "Wow! She must be bored to update twice in two days!"
And you'd be right. That and I'm trying to avoid doing my geography homework by blogging and reading Star Trek fanfiction.
Ahhh! Where did my brain go?
Something which is truly important which I don't think I mentioned in my last blog is my plan to become an astronaut. Obviously, as I'm only 13, I have a long time to wait!
I am trying to work on the qualities that an astronaut needs, such as concentration.
Oops.
I'll have to try harder. I'm also trying to find out whether it is possible for a short-sighted person, whose vision problems are corrected by glasses, can become an astronaut. Different sources tell me different things.
Beyond Uhura by Nichelle Nichols unexpectedly told me that astronauts can in fact be short sighted, whilst How To Become An Astronaut by Amanda Li says the opposite.
I hope Ms Nichols is correct, because otherwise my dreams are kinda sunk.
I just finished reading Brisingr by Christopher Paoloni! It is so, so brilliant. I can't wait for the next book to come out.
Or for Doctor Who: The End Of Time Part 2, which airs tomorrow. What will happen?
Suspense is mean.
....And I've run out of things to say. Hopefully I'll write again soon. It's good writing practice, anyway, and at least I'm "Expressing Myself". My psychologist would be please.
Bye,

Long time no see!
And it has been an awfully long time since I've updated this. Truth be told, I can't even remember when it last was. The end of last NaNoWriMo, perhaps?
Anyway, it was a year ago at the very least.
If anyone is reading this, Happy Christmas! I know it was a few days ago, but I hope you had a good Christmas anyway.
Now, onto updates!
In the last year I have:
Discovered MyLifeIsAverage.com
Re-learnt the words to the pokemon theme tune
Fallen way behind on my homework
Read the sequel to Generation Dead
Been forbidden from participating in NaNoWriMo
Desperately missed Doctor Who
Been ecstatic at each Doctor Who special
Read an awful lot
and loads of boring stuff.
However, my best achievement (After, of course, escaping the insanity which gripped me for eight years) is this:
I DISCOVERED STAR TREK!!
I know, I know. This seems trivial. But not to me.
I used to watch Star Trek when I was really young, my favourite character being Molly O'Brien and my favourite episode "Time's Orphan". I was very disapointed to learn of it's correct name, because for years, my sisters and I have re-enacted it, time and time again, calling it simply "Molly and the big black hole."
In recent years, I haven't watched it. It stopped being on at convenient times, I didn't watch television, and it was "The Show That Mum Likes."
I was extremely reluctant, in fact, to even watch the new Star Trek movie. I was adamant that it would be aimed at fans and have so much background for me to understand a word of it.
I even remember (Oh how I laugh now!) hearing them, in the opening scenes, mention Klingons and grumpily thinking "Oh great, it's already steeped in background. What in the multiverse are Klingons?"
Ah, pitiable younger me. :)
I was at the edge of my seat for the entire film. I loved it. Action, Sci-fi, adventure-although, as I hate so-called "mature" scenes, some of Kirk's behavoiur was repugnant to me.
As I know say, in the best form of a bad joke, my love for Star Trek was born with an action packed movie, a few childhood memories, and a desperate need to go to the toilet.
A little embarrassing, but it was said to my twin. She understands. She has now also been elevated to Trekker-dom, despite at first claiming that "The Cowboy dude was better", referring to Night At The Museum 2, which we had viewed earlier in the week.
Well! I haven't seen anywhere near all the episodes, but I watch Trek daily, am attempting to learn Klingon, attend conventions, wear costumes in casual situations-well, My life has changed a lot.
Star Trek- the epitome of awesome television.

P.S If anyone reading this thinks I'm a geek or a dork, keep in mind that, never having watched Star Wars, My taste in sci-fi is awesome. I think.

What a strange perosn i appear to be...
Okay, so i haven't updated in a little *Coughlongcough* time, but i kind of lost my password...heh heh.
Anyhoo, my life is quite odd at the moment. Everything in reality that i am looking forward to is in the next few weeks. Everything on TV that i am looking forward to is in 2010.
Reality: Casting of school play, agent watching drama class, entering My Camp Rock, my birthday, finding out whether i can go to this summer camp thing.
TV: Doctor Who new series-with teh new Doctor, Matt Smith!-, My favourite book series Percy Jackson and theOlympians is being made into a film, and...ummm....Well, i don't watch TV all that much, okay!
I have finally managed to update a few of my stories on fanfiction.net as well. I've even begun a new one, a comedy called Annabeth's Headache. Now everyone is asking me to continue it and i'm like But how? I don't knkow what happens next!
I will try, though. I lvoe the fanfic too, and i did promise.
I am reading this book, Remembrance, by Theresa Breslin for Accelerated Reading at school. I am one of the top readers because I never stop reading! I read very fast, and at least one book a day.
It is a very good book. It is amazing, and beautiful, and moving, and sad, and so many other things. It is wonderful.
I've also been reading a book by Alyssa Brugman, Walking Naked. It's just amazing. I could really identify with one character, a girl called Perdita. It is really well written and is a realistic
depiction of what life is actually like in schools today.
It was just....wow. I actually e-mailed the author to tell her this, and she replied very nicely! She even gave me some advice!
Percy Jackson and the Olympians is the best book series ever, all of my favourite books end in death, whenever i write stories recurring themes are torture, grief, pain, betrayal and death.
Okay then.
I'm not as morbid as you'd think, well, maybe i am. Who knows? Not me. Well, no one but me would. I do think about death and other such serious matters quite a lot. I plan to become a diplomat when i am older, so that i can help to bring peace to the world.
This is better than a diary in some ways for organising my thoughts. It doesn't matter who reas it, it's easy to write, it's just my brain, completely unedited.
Happy New year to anyone reading this. I hope you had a good christmas.
For Christmas i got 4 Toblerone! I love Toblerone! I also got 2 cds, 24 books (Yes, i counted!), some stickers, 4 pairs of socks, a few pens, 2 notebooks, and some more chocolate.
I have a big family.
Yay!
Anyway, i'm desperate to go to this summer camp in the US based on my fave book series, but we have not got enough money because plane tickets are so expensive! I havenm't stopped thinking about it since i found out of its existence, and i hold out hope. Just.
Best wishes,
Tiamat.
