3/4 Ain't bad...Well really it's more like 3/3

So I'm TECHNICALLY following 4 French musicians on Twitter, but I really only claim to be a fan of 3/4. So, yeah. Well I've already posted about Pascal Obispo retweeting my tweet and Merwan Rim replying to one, but then the other night the third guy replied ^_^

So this is Quentin Mosimann:

Pretty cute, no? (Of course, I don't personally care for tattoos and piercings, but he somehow pulls it off...)

And anyways, the other night he posted this picture:

And I thought "Wow, his hair looks quite awesome." So I told him "@quentinmosimann I just though you should know, your hair looks quite awesome in that picture."

And he replied with "@mytwitterusernamethatisn'this  i didnt sleep yet..." Which I take to mean "yes, my hair does look awesome, and that's not even my bedhead." 

So yes. Third successful tweet exchange with a French dude :)

P.S. I was just thinking about how it seems like French people are better at interacting with their fans on twitter and would like to say that it is not entirely true. Kris Williams (of Syfy's Ghost Hunters and Ghost Hunters International) is great at interacting with people and has in fact retweeted me. Actually, she was the first person of note that interacted with me on Twitter ^_^ so thank you Kris!
And I'd also like to thank Dustin Pari for the Direct Messages. Another nice way to interact with followers, and it seems much more personal which is always welcomed :)
Yes I could have made each of these people blog posts, but the interactions happened so long ago that the exact in-the-moment excitement has been forgotten and so the posts would have less of an impact, in my opinion. 


P.P.S I dislike the new post making layout. Mostly just the fact that unless you press enter a bunch of times you don't have any extra space when you are at the bottom of the page. I like having that "bumper" zone of white. I guess that's just part of me being a bit claustrophobic. Others than that the new dashboard layout isn't too bad. 

The cross out was added 10/22/12. To find out why, read the post posted on that date entitled "Umm...Ok?"

Pinterest

So I'm trying out this new (to me) thing called Pinterest. It's kind of like flair boards were on facebook only you "pin" a picture to a board. As far as I know you aren't limited on boards and it's all free. So it's pretty cool. I haven't gotten much on it yet but I will include the link. It will also be located on the left hand side bar (<--) under the deviantart link.

WARNING: This might just be something that I use a few times and then never go back to, so sorry if you actually expect me to keep up with it haha. This is the longest I've ever kept up with any blog/journal thingy and I'm only at 70 posts (as of this one ^_^ yay me!), so....yeah.

ALP (French text speak equivalent of TTFN-- ta ta for now.)

PS. Speaking of ta ta for now...the other day in biology we learned about the TATA box. The A's aren't pronounced like the A's in "apple," they are pronounced like the A's in "ta ta." So it was kind of funny hearing our teacher say it...especially after someone had written "*Name of teacher* plays with boobies" (it was originally barbies). AAAAAAAANNYWAY.

ALP! ♥






EDIT: PPS. Haha, oops. Guess you need the link: http://pinterest.com/nikkylove/

What class is this again?

Ok, first of all I'm going to clarify something.
I have three names in Spanish class.
Paige.
Página (My Spanish name which is pronounced Pah-hee-na).
Page (The French pronunciation of my name [Pah-ge]).

So I walk into Spanish class and my teacher says "Hola, Paige. Page. *insert show-off face here* Bonjour, Page. Ça va? Ça va."
Here's what I'm still trying to figure out, is this actually Spanish class? Because there's a lot of French that gets used in that class. And at very random moments. Like discussing ways to say hello and goodbye. In Spanish. And then it some how became ways to say hello in different languages.

But I have to keep reminding my teacher that every time he uses French in Spanish class it really screws me up. Though, because of that, I've gotten really good at speaking French in my head while writing the words in Spanish. Especially for "mais" (pero) and "alors" (asi que). And "il y a" (hay).

It's been a while...

Well, it's been a while. But not much has been going on. First week back to school was nice. Got to see those people I missed. Ummm...OH! Itunes US sucks. You wanna know why? Because Merwan Rim released a new song onto itunes and the US version DOESN'T HAVE IT. >:(
But that's ok. Actually, no it isn't. But I'm...*ahem* willing to look past it.
Umm what else...Oh, yeah, it's my birthday today (January 15). Another year...another...something or other. It wasn't that eventful. Except for the virus on my computer. But got that all cleared up. Stupid McAfee didn't pick up on it. But like I said, it's all better now. Golden Globes were pretty boring this year. But a HUGE congrats to Morgan Freeman. Love his work.
Let's see...what else...well I think that's it. You know, I did have another weird dream the other night. But I can't remember it. So that's not too important. *Crickets* Yup. I think that's it.

(Oh, by the way, this is Merwan Rim:) 

(And this is Morgan Freeman:) 

(And they both have great voices)

Finally! (and some randomness)

After a nice long break I'm glad to be heading back to school tomorrow. This winter I learned a few things.
1. It's not winter without snow. It's just an extension of fall.
2. I need people. Like really need them. I got so bored not seeing people.
But hopefully tomorrow won't be too confusing with new schedules and all. I should only have one change. And unless the people who put schedules together decided to be mean and stick me in some useless class, I should just have an open period for 1A. But I will have to pick up my schedule tomorrow morning. Hopefully the lines aren't too long. Of course all of the info SHOULD have been on powerschool by now. But of couuuuurse not. >:(

Oh, and as of typing this post, I need one more visitor to hit the 700 views mark ^_^ I feel so accomplished!

Now I'd like to share a dream that I had the other night. It was interesting. And I really only remember a few tiny bits and pieces. It was at school. In a library. But definitely not my school's library. There was a celebrity interview going on. Christophe Maé was the celebrity. During the interview he didn't have much of an accent. But I remember it sounding more British than French. And I got really excited because...well...duh. Why do you think? ;) And I went to go get his autograph because I magically had a mini poster for him to sign. He seemed tired. Or annoyed. Or distracted. I'm not sure which really. It may have been a mixture of those three. But he gave me his autograph and I was all excited and then I noticed he had a tattoo on the inside of his wrist. It was like a small black loop shaped kind of like Ω but with the opening facing his fingers and the pieces on the bottom were a bit different. And in the middle it looked kind of like blue water... So I asked him what it stood for. And he said something about it representing how he allows his soul to be free and doesn't restrict himself or something like that. And then I felt really bad because in real life accents don't bother me and I would normally be able to instantly pick up what he was trying to say. But I guess the fact that he all of a sudden had an extreeeaaaamly thick French accent threw me off. So I like smiled at him for a second then said something to the effect of "ahhh." But unlike real life, I wasn't embarrassed for the rest of the dream. Though I was a bit right after that happened. And then I went and sat down and was all happy about getting his autograph. OH! I remember more. So then I was talking with these people and don't ask me who they were. But apparently the lady I was talking to was pretty important and was in a bit of danger. So she had to be taken to this special room upstairs and I was going with her and about 5 other people. These bad guys were looking for us or something. And we had to try and stay quiet but the other people would not shut up. And we were going to be stuck there for a few days.

And that is all I remember.

School Plays

Are the most fun thing in the world!!! Had so much fun working the play last week, now it feels weird actually coming home after school. Everyone did great. And of course the after party was super fun!!

Can't wait til spring.

Drama Competition: THE RESULTS!!!!!!!!

You guys....I DID AMAZING!!!!!!! (Especially for my first time doing a monologue at competition.)
And ESPECIALLY considering I got my monologue about 11 days before competition.

For round one I got a 9/10 which is superior.
For round two I got another 9/10 AND I was in the top 3 best performances in that round (albeit I was the third out of top three...BUT STILL!! I MADE TOP THREE!!)
And for round three I got an 8/10 which is an excellent.

Surprisingly the one that I thought I went the slowest on I actually went the fastest on haha Guess I was a bit excited to be done with competition.

AHHHHH!!!! This makes me so happy and gives me sooooo much confidence. And I had really nice judges who gave me great tips. Well...the first judge didn't really give many tips....and she called my voice "very one level, until she warmed up." Which was because of my character, not just me. But oh well, if that's the one critique that bugged me then that's pretty darn good!!

Time to find a monologue for next year!! Sadly next year will be my last :( I'm glad that I've gotten to go these past two years though. It's so much fun! You truly see so many great people who are talented and just plain nice.

So I have a bit of a problem with this video....

IT'S SO ADDICTING TO LISTEN TO! For me...maybe because 3 great guys...3 great voices...The Frenchiness... Not sure exactly.

*Sigh* I love listening to French guys talk....

Christophe Maé, Emmanuel Moire, Merwan Rim, all singing a beautiful song. Not to mention a pretty darn good intro by Christophe.

This is tagged as song of the day...so now I also have to include the song that I was actually going to have as song of the day.

Beautiful play, AMAZING LIGHTS!!!! ARG I'm so jealous of this stage. Not to mention all of the people who got to see the play live..... *grumble grumble grumble*
By the way, I'm pretty sure Monsieur (Maé) earns the best/coolest/omg that must have been the itchiest wig ever!!!! award.

Drama Competition: Results (Part 1)

So, IT WAS AMAZING!!!! I had sooooo much fun!!! Even though I had to wake up early and it was cold on the bus ride there (and back) it was still fantastic. It was a great time to visit with friends and see some other really great performances. I also saw an old friend....though when I say "saw" I mean it literally. Never did get a chance to say hi.
Of course it was nerve wrecking as you walked into each round, but I can honestly say that I was not the worst in any round. We have rules for the competition. There is a minimum and maximum time. In all three rounds there was someone who had a REALLY short piece. Although, when I glanced at the timer after my last round, I became a little worried because my piece was only about 6 minutes...5 is the minimum and that felt like my slowest round. So I might have been too short on the other two rounds.
During the entertainment portion we watched some really great pieces. My favorites were the Unemployed Unicorns ("Let's do a lift!" *guy lifts other guy onto his shoulder* "Lift me higher! Like in Black Swan!" ""I watched that movie with my mom! Such a great family film!""). Those boys were hilarious! And this one about physical changes that happen when you're going through puberty (STD section: "Ew! It smells like you have herpagonnasyphlaids B!!"). Oh, and a student written scene called "Behind the screens." Can't remember any specific quotes from that one, but it was great!

In the end, our school went home with 2 pieces moving on to state, and one piece is a backup. But the exciting part is that one of our state pieces was written by a student, and a 10th grader at that!

Bones Season 7, Episode 2

This episode is awesome.
New intern. Baby's gender. Bones acting like Booth. Awesome body.



SPOILER ALERT 
SPOILER ALERT
SPOILER ALERT

Ok, well. To start off. What a cool body. Half devoured by naked rats. Snake hiding in the lower half. And even better? The following quote is from the victim's husband: "I once saw her stick a 12 foot wiener in her mouth." No, she isn't a prostitute. She was a competitive eater. 

Next, new intern. This Finn person...seems like an innocent southern boy genius at first...but I don't think it stops there. He has a criminal past. And it's not just a little joy ride here, a shoplifting incident there like he lets on. He attacked his step father with a hunting knife. Then, the step dad disappeared. DUN DUN DUUUN!!! I think that he is going to become an interesting character this season. Maybe even a...new villain? Ok. So I guess he didn't kill his step dad. And he actually seems like a pretty cool guy. So maybe he isn't the new villain.


BEST NEWS EVER!!! I WAS RIGHT!!! It's a girl!!!! Little Hodgins and Little Bones, sitting in a tree.... I am even more excited now. This is going to be such a great season!!! 

Did I mention shocking but awesome snake up chuck? 





SUCH AN AWESOME EPISODE!!!!!!

BONES!!!!!!!!

So guess what tonight was? THAT'S RIGHT, WORLD!! BONES SEASON SEVEN!!!

Best parts:
Did you guys see that body? Oh my gosh! That was so gross when the eye oozed all of its eye goo...ewwww
Babyyyy Hodgins!!! Awww what a cutie!!!
I love how Booth always takes pictures of Brennan's embarrassing pregnancy moments XD

Worst part:
When the stupid news decided to interrupt! GAH! That was so stupid! I'm sorry news, but I really don't care about genetically modified produce when I'm watching Bones.

Things that made me go hmmm....:
Did anyone notice that Booth referred to the baby as "him"? Was it a hint? Or just daddy brain? Guess we'll have to wait...but I'm hoping for a little girlfriend for baby Hodgins ;)


All in all, AMAZING EPISODE! (DUH!)



Oh, and happy 30th post to me!! Furthest I've ever gone in a blog/journal thing. Ever. 

Tonight's the night!

Well, today's the day!!!! Finally after what seemed like forever, BONES RETURNS!!!! I have a feeling this will be an absolutely fantastic episode and the start to a great season. There are two things I'm looking forward to more than anything, babies and villains.
Last season Angela and Hodgins had their baby, so hopefully we'll see more of that little guy. And of course Booth and Brennan's little one.
It's been a while since we've had a really good villain, and I've heard rumors that this season will have a very exciting bad guy.

CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

Legos!!!

So when I was younger I loved Legos. My grandma had the bigger ones, in fact I don't even know if they were actual Lego brand, and my cousins and I would build towers all the way up to the ceiling! Or at least until we ran out of blocks...and that sound they made when they came crashing down, who doesn't love that sound? (I'll tell ya who, Gracie, that's who. Because she hasn't experienced the wonders of Legos.) We would make little cities or old tombs for our little Lego people to explore. Sadly this particular set didn't include any cars so we would normally build our own and pretend they had wheels. Until, that is, Grandma bought some new Legos that had cars and animals! That was our favorite toy to play with because everyone could be involved. We would all layout a basic (VERY basic) foundation, dubbing random blocks the "toilet" and "stove."

Then I got older and moved away from Legos a bit and more into Barbies and other dolls.

But now...OMG! There are so many different types of Legos!!
Now, I know what you're thinking. "You're old enough to be keeping a blog and yet you still play with Legos?!!" Yes. I am a teen who likes Legos. Because in my generation, for some reason all of the things that were cool when you were five are just as cool now. That and who can't resist exploding Spongebob's pineapple?

So tonight my step sister and I convinced my step mom that we needed a new board game. But when we got to Walmart there wasn't really anything interesting. My step sister is 8, so she isn't into the whole trying to guess a phrase thing that most group games are now days. We did consider Twister, but then we realized there is absolutely no where to set it up in our house. So we started looking at the other toys. Of course the cheap loud toys caught our attention and we were mildly entertained by that. But then we turned a corner and...There it was. The Lego aisle. Did you know they have entire Lego cities now? I certainty didn't!! There is this massive (for a Lego set it was massive) Police Station....we were in love. Only problem? $100. Sooo we decided that's going on the Christmas list. There were a bunch of vehicles. Some police vehicles, an awesome fire truck, this AMAZING air port!!! And a really cool police boat that looks like it floats in water...we weren't sure though. There were also Lego Creator sets. Basically it's 3 sets in one. My favorite one of those sets was the lighthouse. It could be a, get this, WORKING lighthouse, a boat launch station/dock, or a whale watching building. My step sister was in love with the Lego seagulls it came with (she has this thing for seagulls, I don't get it). And then we saw the ALIEN stuff!! My favorite one out of that collection was the UFO that was abducting a little farmer guy hahaha And there was also a brain sucking alien in one of the sets! (Ok, so I'm sure it's called something else, but it sure did look like he was sucking the guy's brains out.)

We had so many choices we didn't know what to get! We finally decided on the Police boat and the rest is on various birthday and Christmas lists. (Thankfully my step sis's birthday is less than a month away. We're hoping for the Police Station and Criminal Transport Vehicle as we realized there was no where to put the bad guy after we caught him.) We also told my step mom to buy herself and my dad one for their birthdays and then just give it to us.
Oh, we also left the store with some Play-Doh and a word scramble thing that my step mom wanted.

When we got home the real fun began! We cleared off the coffee table to have a good construction site that would hopefully make it easier to not lose any important pieces. When we took the hull of the boat out we discovered it was in one piece. Which is both good and not as good. It's good because it means it's water tight and should float. It's not good because that's like an hours worth of fun building time. We started constructing our boat and everything was going great. Until dinner time. We only had about a handful of pieces left but we had to stop. Then right after dinner was swim lessons for my step sister. I went along so I wouldn't be tempted to finish the boat. We completed our build and got a little play time in before bed. Can't wait to try it out in the tub tomorrow! It came with 3 people, 2 cops and 1 criminal. Two little hatches that will open up, one of which is big enough for the jet ski. Two life vests and some scuba gear, and of course the jet ski. I for one, think this definitely constitutes as a fair and amazing Lego pack. Now if only we can complete the town....


Here are some pictures of mentioned sets and possibly unmentioned, but still mention worthy, sets:

The 3-in-one Lighthouse/Whale Watching/Boat launch set

Our Police Boat- Isn't it epic??

Isn't this the coolest Police Station ever??? There is even grass!!!!

The one-eyed thing is the brain sucker.

I love Legos. Plain and simple.
No it has nothing to do with Bones but it seems more people read my other posts if I tag Bones in them. If you don't like it...TOO BAD >:)
