My TV show reccomendations.

Greetings!

So, as nobody actually cares about my blog, I'm not going to update regularly. However, I do enjoy the occasional post, so I guess I'll just blog when I feel I have something interesting to blog about.

Today, I'm just going to talk about my favourite TV shows.

Probably first on my list is Doctor Who. The classic sci-fi series following a timelord and his TARDIS on their adventures through space. Although Tennant will forever be my Doctor, I love a bit of Matt Smith. If you wanted to start off watching an episode I'd reccomend jumping right to 'Blink'.

And right up there, is another TV show involving Stephen Moffat, The BBCs Sherlock. Bringing Arthur Conan Doyles famous stories to the 21st century, Sherlock Holmes, the world's one and only consulting detective and his friend, former millitary doctor John Watson in their adventures in London. Sherlock himself has no brain-to-mouth filter, and comes out with extroadinarily observant, but unintentionally mean statements, while John is a down-to-earth doctor with a psychosomatic limp.

In the sitcom area, we have The Big Bang Theory. All about four socially awkward physicists. When a hot blonde moves in next door, she starts to teach them about life outside the laboratory. Nerdy jokes galore.

I've recently started to watch Merlin. I'm only about four episodes in, but I really would reccomend it. Based on the stories of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, it follows a young Merlin and his friend, Price Arthur on their adventures and magical mishaps.

Feel free to follow my nerdy ramblings, and I think I'll use the Vlogbrother signoff today.

Dearest Nerds.

My dearest Nerds,

I am having difficulty posting as of late, as I simply do not have the time. (Or an interesting life...)
However, I will continue to post things of interest, that is, if anyone actually reads my blog...

I leave you with this.
My science teacher put too much potassium in water the other day and kind of set off the fire alarm. My apologies to all six hundred students who had to stand outside in the rain.

Pottermore!

Hi.

SO. I GOT INTO POTTERMORE. 

In order:
I have a cat. My wand is Hawthorn, 10". Unicorn hair core. I have been sorted into Ravenclaw. In case you wanted to know. I have earned 15 house points. I have 6 chocolate frog cards. I have a snitch. I feel cool.


Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure.

Remember.

Hey there.

As most of you, if not all of you will know, Today is the Anniversary of 9/11. I have a short message for you.

It's been 10 years. For them. For their families.

 10 years ago, two towers went down. In those towers were Mothers, Fathers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, friends.

Have a moment of silence. Honour their memories. Think of their families. Talk about the tradegdy that was and is 9/11. Draw a picture. Sing a song. Write a poem. Do what you can, what feels right for you. They seserve to be remembered. Their families remember them everyday. We can remember them too. Have a moment of silence. Think of them. Never forget.

And in this moment we can't
Close the lids
On burning eyes
Our memories blanket us with
Friends we know
Like fallout vapors
Steel corpses stretch out towards an
Ending sun
Scorched and black
It reaches in and tears your
Flesh apart
As ice cold hands rip into your heart

That's if you've still got one that's left
Inside that cave you call a chest
And after seeing what we saw
Can we still reclaim our innocence
And if the world needs something better
Let's give them one more reason now.

Haaaayyy!
I've been having some interesting thoughts about religion lately. I go to a VERY catholic school, so we learn a lot about Jesus, and the new testament. We do get to study Islam, which I find interesting. But I've been reading about Buddism outside school, and I think it's incredible. The idea of tranquility and peace is really inspiring. I have decided to follow the buddist way of life, even if I can't become a full buddist. Did you know that there have never been any wars fought in the name of buddism? How amazing is that?
I know buddism makes people think of 'awwmmm'noises and sitting cross-legged, but really meditating can just be going to a special place in your mind, or even in real life. Do you have a favourite spot? Sit there, and just think. Let your mind wander to the farthest reaches of the world. This is an excellent thing to do. My friend Caoimhe (@theotherothergirl on Twitter) is rather fond of walking meditiation, as she has named it it. It is when you simply walk. Think and walk. Walk and think. Find out where you going when you get there. A lot of this has sprung from a wonderful book called 'My name is Mina' which is the most inspiring book I have ever read. Mina is...just...Mina. There are no adjectives for her.

I have homework to do, but keep thinking!

A dictionary for the dictionary?

Hello.
Yes, I haven't blogged in a while. I was sick! Tonsilitis. Again. GRRR. I'm sorry, okay? Plus I've been back at school, and it took ages, and it's just too much hassle. I do go to school, you know. And this will only be a short post because I'm tired. And feeling defensive, for some reason.
Thought for today: Who writes the dictionary? And do they use a dictionary to write the definitionsfor their dictionary? What about the very first dictionary? Food for thought.

Bye!

A ramble of epic proportions.

Hello again. I still don't know your name. How rude of me. Oh well.

Every so often, I write a paragraph. It doesn't relate to anything, but it is a product of my rambling imagination, so I thought I'd post them here. Here's one I thought of today:

Isn't it amazing how markings on a page can make you laugh, or cry, or rethink your view of everything. How a series of sounds coming from someones mouth can make you fall in love? How they can hurt you, and make you feel worthless, and then build back up again? The human race has evolved so much. Take the last century:
The first Nobel prize is awarded. Einsteins theory of relativity. The lie detector is invented. A woman swims the English Channel.  Nylons, the t-shirt and the bikini are invented. The first computer. Matin Luther King makes the famouse 'I have a dream' speech. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldren walk on the moon. The Hubble Telescope is launched. Sceintists clone a sheep.

The human race are incredible. We are so persistent. Ambition. Pride. Strength. Cleverness. All things we possess. The ability to cure and heal is amazing. So is our ability to deduct. And our ability to look into the stars and find answers. DNA. All incredible, fantastic things.

It's a schoolnight, so I have to go to bed soon enough and prepeare myself to learn about the properties of carbon dioxide. Night!
