Like/Dislike

     I could easily write forever on things that I like and dislike, and since I am becoming extremely annoyed at something I dislike,  I'm going to blog about it. A lot of social networking sites emphasize on what we like, but not very many allow you to dislike something. It makes it seem like the act of disliking something is severe or unethical. But the truth is, no one likes everything. We all dislike things.
     To start off, some things I do like. I like staying up late when everyone is asleep, when the night is quiet and the air is cool and the world seems to be taking a break from being its amazing self. I like stirring things by hand instead of using an electric mixer, not only because it's quieter and improves arm muscles, but because I can watch as things slowly mix together, becoming one entity that will later be extremely tasty. I love lying in bed with my cat on my back. It's become a reassuring thing, having another heartbeat near me. I like rain sliding slowly down the glass of the windows, drops crashing into one another until too heavy to drip. I like a clear night with plenty of stars, no noise, only me and the sky. I like a good book, of course. But mostly, I like to think.
     What I dislike is large puddles when I'm in a hurry, because they don't move and I have to walk through them. I dislike homework when I should be out having fun or relaxing. I dislike noisy crowds of people who don't care that I am standing there, and push and shove to get around me. I dislike doing work for nothing, and things being changed without my knowledge. I dislike when people are hypocritical, although they never see it that way. I dislike being woken up for anything, regardless if I have to do something or if it's 1 o'clock in the afternoon. I dislike the fact that I am very good at procrastinating, which seems to get me into a lot of tight spots and long nights.
     The lists could probably go on forever but there are things that I really should be doing right now. Of course, there is, isn't there always? Next time I post, it will be of an assignment that I am working on for my English class. So until then, to whoever really reads this, I hope that you have an amazing start to your year, and that the past one was worth remembering. And, needless to say, don't forget to be awesome.

50 Question Challenge

     I have decided to add another thing to my BFS List. I will do what I am calling the 50 Question Challenge. Once a week I will answer one of the questions from a website that I found a while ago. Link here. It has a list of 50 questions that are supposed to make you think. Doing this will help me to get to know myself better, and will also force me to blog at least once a week. 
     That's all I really wanted to say. I've got a pile of assignments that I have to get done during the holidays, which isn't getting any smaller. *Sigh* Always work to be done. DFTBA. 

Big, Fun, Scary List 2011

     In the aftermath of NaNoWriMo 2011, I received an email from the NaNo staff. This email included a thank-you for participating (even though I basically write nothing), a link to the Participant survey, and links to other things to do after NaNoWriMo. One such suggestion that I found interesting was the Big, Fun, Scary List 2011.
     The BFS List 2011 is basically a list of things you wish to accomplish in the coming year. I don't usually have things that I want to accomplish, but this year I want to change that. I have thought a lot of what I really want to accomplish this year, and this is what I have come up with, with reasoning:


*survive grade 11, and move on to 12
-this year has been rough and tiring, and it's only halfway though
*attend my first high school dance
-the last school dance I went to I was probably in third grade. All of my friends have been getting mad at me for not going to dances, but they are just not my thing.
*get a radical haircut
-I don't mean cut an inch or two, I mean a complete change.
*actually do NaNoWriMo 2011
-I didn't get very far this year before other things took over and I forgot about writing.
*50 book challenge
-I probably read around 50 books a year, so why not count and actually try to do it
*get my driver's license
-I could already have it now, but it's not something that I really care about, so it hasn't happened yet
*get a job
-pretty simple, I have no money and need it
*donate blood
-I hate needles, but I have a lot of healthy blood that I have no need for, and other people need it
*lose weight
-I need to, plain and simple
*try vlogging
-something I have been thinking of doing for a long time now
*fill a journal with meaningful quotes
-I have a love of quotes. My wall of quotes is getting too full.
*learn to write with my right hand (even if it's bad)
-seems like it could be useful, and interesting to see
*write
-anything, anywhere, at anytime. Because I love it


     2011 will be a year to remember, just like 2010 was. I intend to fill it with many more memories, lessons, and friends. So good luck to me, good luck to you, good luck to us all.

I am Who I am.

     Clearly I haven't written in a long while. We're going to skip the excuses and the nonsense and go right to writing, because I am in the mood and I am in control.
     I just wrote this, in about 3 minutes. I flipped over on my bed and saw my room from a completely different view. A view of the same room that I am in every single day. It got me thinking, which got me writing. Don't question. It usually gets you into a mess. Here:

A different view can make all the difference. I don't care whether it's the view from a different tower, a different country, a different planet. Just change the view. Open your mind and let the view teach you. Let it show you space and colour, depth and precision. Let your view change your mind, your opinion, your life. It may be a change for the better; it may be a change for the worse. The point? Change. No one likes the same things over and over, no matter how much they argue about safety, comfort, or a love of something. A change throws you into a new situation, with new problems, and new ways to solve them. A change will expand your comfort zone, introduce you to things you never knew existed, never knew you liked, or didn't like. So change the view. Angle your head a little differently, take the path you usually don't, or create a new one. If it doesn't change you, even in the slightest way, in the farthest future, in a way you never thought would matter, then I will admit defeat. But I know I won't have to. Things will change. 

     I think that if weren't lazy and a one shot writer that that paragraph could be edited into something more comprehensible, but I am who I am, and it's going to stay like that. Hmm, a block.
     So the winter break is coming up, 2 more days to be exact. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited. I am, but I'm also not. I don't want to leave my friends for that long. Pathetic, I know, but whatever. I'm going to have a lot of work to do over the break, most of which will be put off until the last couple days, because once again, I am who I am. There are a lot of other things I'd like to get done over the break, including a lot of thinking and planning. *Sigh* So much for peace and relaxation.
     So I didn't do NaNoWriMo. I can't remember if I wrote about that before, but who cares. If I haven't and you want to understand, use Google. I'm not a search engine. I got about 150 words, then got sidetracked, then forgot, then just didn't care. So became the Great 2010 NaNo-fiasco. I'll try harder next year. One thing I did get out of NaNo was the BFS List.
     The BFS List is the Big, Fun, Scary list. It's supposed to be a list of things you want to accomplish, big, fun, or scary, in the coming year. I have composed a small list, but will not post it until later, once I've reviewed it and all.
     But now I am tired.

Again? Really?

     It's happened again. I'm sick. But this time I took a day off the rest. It's only a Friday, and not much was going to be happening in my classes, and I went yesterday against my better judgement. I was going to stay home yesterday, but decided not to. I ended up falling asleep in history, partly because I was exhausted and feeling horrible, and partly because the movie/documentary we were watching was really boring. So today I decided to stay home.
     I slept until noon, but only because the phone woke me up. I sat on the couch all afternoon, watching TV and movies, and catching up on YouTube. I must say, I am feeling much better. The only bad thing is that my feet keep falling asleep, my nose is raw from the tissue, and now I have to do homework. But it's going to be alright. I have all weekend.
     So have a good weekend, don't get sick, and DFTBA.

Halloween and November

Happy Halloween! Happy November first!! Happy I-finally-have-time-to-blog day!!!

     This blog comes in three parts. These parts are going to be written in a reverse order from my intro. Since November is going to a crazy month, I think that this will suit my first November post. November is a nice time of year. None of my close friends have birthdays, so I don't have to worry about remembering any of them. There aren't any major holidays to have to celebrate. And November means Nanowrimo!! But more about that later.
     Part 1: why I finally have time to blog, and why I didn't have time to blog before. This past week has been all about getting ready for Halloween, and also I had another history assignment to do. We are now studying the Greeks, so we had to make a scroll. I must say that I am really proud of mine. I made the paper look old by soaking it in coffee and then baking it in the oven. This not only means that it looks nice, but it also smells nice. The message that I wrote on my scroll was:

"If only we could see the endless string of consequences that result from our smallest actions. But we can't know better until knowing better is useless."

     I also put a sun, an owl, and an olive tree. The sun is a symbol for Apollo, the god of prophecy, and the owl and olive tree are symbols for Athena, the goddess of wisdom. I did those because my message is speaking of the wisdom of not wanting prophecy, or knowledge of the future. Of course, I did not think of that myself. It is a quote from the John Green novel Looking for Alaska. It is my favourite book ever.



      In an unrelated note to last week, I haven't been sleeping all that well, so I have been extremely tired. Which means I have been half asleep all week, and taking naps. Not good for blogging. Nope.



     Part 2: November the first means the beginning of Nanowrimo! Nanowrimo stands for National Novel Writing Month. During the month of November, the participants are to write a novel, consisting of at least 50,000 words. It's pretty exciting, since one of my life's goals is to write a novel. It'll be good practice, and it will show me if I have novel-writing potential, or if my dream is just a false hope. I'm hoping that it's not. But you never know. Anyway, if you decide to write, add me as a writing buddy. Of course, my user name is Dandelions-Fly.

     I have a good idea of what I am going to write, but don't ask me about it. Not until I am partway through. Just so that I don't talk about it, and then talk myself out of it or anything.

Part 3: Halloween! To start out, I want to say that I did go trick or treating. K and I went together, dressed in our death eater costumes. We were only out for about 40 minutes, but I've got enough candy for myself, and the stuff that I don't like for the rest of my family. I carved a pumpkin for at home, and also one with K, so that we could do our own when we were together. I only have a picture of the one I did for my house, because my battery died right before we did our pumpkins. Yes, I did the dark mark.

     We also made Halloween cupcakes. It was really fun. Ooh, extra large picture.

     Pet costumes are cute, right?



Patch didn't want to dress up.  :(

     Well, I hope you had a safe and Happy Halloween, and that you will forgive me if I don't post as often as usual, but only because of Nanowrimo. So DFTBA, and write, write, write my friends!!

Accio Hallowe'en!

     This week has been so extremely busy that it just killed me to start another one. I was insanely tired all day today, and I fell asleep on the couch after school today. It felt so nice to sleep, but then I had to wake up. Anyway, I didn't forget to post this weekend, I was just busy. I wrote a really bad post last night, but had to stop halfway through so that I could write my essay for my English class. I did the entire thing in two hours. Don't you just love procrastination? I do. Sarcasm too.
     So I finally finished my ancient histories project. It took me forever! I neglected a lot of other homework last week so that I could get it done and presented, which is why my other essay was left until Sunday night. The essay I wrote was kind of poorly done. Definitely not my best work, but after all the frustration of it, I was just glad to get it over. I also made my visuals really quickly, but I still like the way they turned out. I will get a picture of them up as soon as I get them back, because I forgot to take one before I handed it all in. I still think they are good, though.
     Even though I completed my English essay, I still haven't finished reading the book. It's Frankenstein, and I have to admit that it's a good book, but I really hate reading for classes. I prefer to read for the enjoyment of reading, instead of having to pick through the story, dissecting the plot, finding meaning, or trying to understand the minds of the characters. Here is a quote pertaining to my hatred of such things:

"Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot. - BY ORDER OF THE AUTHOR" 

 -Mark Twain


     Another thing that happened this week was Purple Day. The idea is to wear purple clothing in honour of six people who committed suicide for their sexuality. God I hate bullying. Anyway, since I don't have any purple clothing (not even a pair of socks. I'm not even kidding), I wore purple flower earrings and my purple bracelet that says 'useyourvoice.ca'. It's for the Children's Aid Society, but the message is still the same in both cases, and it was purple. I know that some people don't wear purple because they feel that it singles out a specific case, and doesn't focus on actually stopping this from happening, but to me, wearing purple is my support of trying to stop this from happening again.

     Well, Hallowe'en is coming upon us pretty fast again this year. I spent this weekend with K, making masks for our costumes. We are going to be Death Eaters. It involves black clothing, a black cape or cloak, and a mask. Our masks look amazing, and I can't wait to go our trick or treating. Yes, I am going trick or treating. I don't care that some people may think I am too old. I'm doing it. I'll also be wearing my costume to school. Here is a picture of my mask:

     Well, let's hope that I survive this week. So far it doesn't seem to be too bad, but things can always get worse. On the flip side, things can always get better. So enjoy the week my friends, survive, and DFTBA.

Musical Muse

     Just a quick update. I added the music playlist. It took me forever to figure out how to do it, and even the FAQ on the site didn't help very much. But it's on here, right at the bottom. It was originally on the sidebar, but it expanded the page too much. So if you want to know what I listen to while writing, or anything else, check it out. And if you like any of it, don't be afraid, go out and buy it. I know it's on Itunes, and on DFTBA.com. Support the people you like so that they can keep making music you like. And if not, Playlist is just one of many sites that you can listen to music on for free. Keep listening my friends, and DFTBA.

Procrastination Creation

     When I write my posts, I always leave the title for the end. I do this because I never really know what I'm going to write about. Also, I love to write a catchy, brilliant title. Sometimes this means a lot of thinking, and sometimes it doesn't.
     This is the first time that I blog while listening to music. I usually don't because I like to write in a quiet environment, but there is music playing downstairs, and conversation in the kitchen, so I have to block that out. I am going to put my Playlist.com playlist on my blog, so that you can listen to the music that I listen to while I write. It's currently all Nerdighter music, but it's still really good music.
     I am aware that I was supposed to post during the week, and that it is currently Sunday. But this week has been insane. I have a great skill in an area that I really ought not too. Procrastination. I had put off starting my ancient histories project for too long. I only started it two days before the first part was due, which was Thursday, and I stayed up until past midnight Wednesday night finishing it. The next part is due this Thursday, so I won't be posting before then, I can guarantee. I have also been busy with yearbook and student council this week. I really don't know what I have gotten myself into this year.
     Also this week, I witnessed history. Before going to school on Wednesday morning, I saw two of the miners being taken out of the mine from Chile. They had been trapped in the mine for 69 days. I saw number 6 and 7 getting removed from the mine. It was extremely touching and made me rethink a lot of things. I cannot even imagine being anywhere, in one place, for more than a month, let alone over two. All of them were safely removed, and returned to their families. Last I heard, all but two were out of the hospital.
     So it seems that posting a picture has become pretty normal on here. So I think I'm going to start posting a picture at the end of every post. I'm going to kill two birds with one stone here, (metaphorically of course) and post a picture with a quote as well. I love quotes. I have a lot of quotes, pages of them, saved on my computer. I also have a wall full of quotes, and artwork, but mostly quotes. I'll get a picture of that sometime.

          So, have a good week. I'll try, I really will. But now I have to get my homework done. After I add the music playlist. See, more procrastination! Don't procrastinate, and DFTBA my friends.

[No birds were harmed in the making of this or any previous posts. I swear.]

10/10/10

     It's pretty early, but it is now officially 10/10/10. It isn't really a big deal, just another day really. But this phenom will not happen again until 2110. Next year will be more epic, but this is still pretty amazing.      So, events happening on this day. So far, that I've heard of, there will be a lot of environmental awareness events and projects starting. Thank you google. I think that's pretty cool. 350.org has a list of every single registered event in the world. They even have one for the city near where I live, so they're pretty precise. You can find that here.

     Also, a book is being officially released today (tomorrow?). Kaleb Nation's Bran Hambric: The Specter Key is being released in store. He is hoping, and dreaming, that his book gets on the national best seller list. Preorders have been being made for more than a month now, including signed copies. If his book does appear on the list, he will make a visit to the city with the most preorders. Too bad I don't live in a city that loves books. Sigh. Anyway, he will have an epic (hopefully) YouTube video out in the morning, so you should check that out. And you can read the first three chapters of his book, and of the first book, Bram Hambric: The Farfield Curse, here. I really recommend at least giving them a shot. What's the harm?

     Another thing I know that is happening happens to be a Nerdfighter thing. There's going to be a gathering in Chicago, but since I can't be there, I'm not going to say anything about it. If you want to know more, you can look at this video. Why do all of my favourite people that I want to meet have to live outside of Canada?!?

     Anyway, I am posting this now, at like 2am, because I might be busy tomorrow. I still haven't completely made up my mind, so I'm doing it now just to be safe. Now, why does it seem that lately this blog has been about telling you about other people and other people's fun? Oh, that's right, because it has been. School has just been it's annoying self, grasping me in it's annoying-ness. My English teacher has been MIA for over a week, which means annoying filler work while she is gone. I mean, you can only have so many "class discussions" before someone should realize that there are only a select few that actually discuss. For others it's down time to do work from other classes, talk, listen to music, or play games on Ipods. I mean, is everyone else just blind to this kind of stuff but me?

     So here is a warning to anyone who is thinking of using physics as a filler class/report card boost. Don't. It's very difficult if you mean to use it like that. It needs to be taken seriously. Like, study and make sure you understand everything kind of seriousness. I know by unfortunate experience. I thought that it wouldn't be difficult, and that it would just be something to occupy that period. But it's hard. Like, maddeningly, frustratingly, hard. But I will get through it. I've got some amazing help. And google. Nothing helps like a bit of google. 

     I have spent this past week with late nights reading, annoying school days, and evenings ignoring everything. Homework, people, YouTube (which took a long time to catch up on), and sleep. I just basically sat around the house thinking, and planning, and never following through on those plans. But this weekend, this glorious long weekend, has already begun to piece back together the horrible puzzle that I had created. 

     So anyway, I will be sure to post something more me-like sometime this week. Before the weekend, I promise. So have a good 10/10/10 my friends, stay true to yourself, and DFTBA.  

P.S. - That poster I did last weekend that I blogged about? The Egyptian themed one? Yeah, 100%. I know. Awesome. XD 

Artistic Muse

     So this weekend I really wanted to blog. It was one of the things I was really looking forward too. But I told myself that I would not until I had all of my homework done. It's now Sunday night. The homework took too long. And I didn't even do all of it. I ignored the chemisty homework, like I always do.
     Anyway, in case you were wondering, the previous post and the change in my display picture are for a contest. I am hoping to win said contest. I want to win said contest very badly. The prize is just too good to be true. So please cross your fingers and hope that I win, please. It would be very much appreciated.
     This weekend I spent most of my time working on my history homework. The assignment was to make a poster and write on it using hieroglyphics. The message was supposed to be our final words or message to the world. I traced most of the symbols, but there are some that I free-handed. I am not an artist. I would fail if I couldn't trace. So, without further ado, here it is:

      All of the symbols going across say, "I'm not saying that everything is survivable. Just everything except the last thing is." The giant black symbol is an ankh, the Egyptian symbol for life. And the last bit, in the bottom right corner, is a cartouche, which in it has my name. The symbols going around it, starting from the top right hand and going around in a counter-clockwise motion, say, "Now comes the mystery."

          To be able to introdice my last piece of news, I must first do a bit of explaining. I have a condition called Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH). It basically means that I have high pressure in my head for no apparent reason. I have been diagnosed for just under a year. It does nothing to hinder my daily life, as long as I take my medication. Which sucks. But what can you do? Anyway, I was bored today, seeing as I was done my homework, except for the ignored chemistry, so I was googling things. At one point, I decided to google IIH. Then I clicked Images. I've never done an image search for it. All I figured I would get for images would be eyes, spinal taps, and random google crap. But what I found made me really excited. I found an awareness ribbon, and from that a website dedicated to finding a cure. Sounds cheesy, I know, but when I was first diagnosed I couldn't find much information about it.

     That has been the highlights of my weekend. The following week is more than likely going to be long and annoying, and homework filled, so I probably won't post until the weekend. But that's ok, because next weekend is Thanksgiving weekend, which means a long weekend. So have a good week, be artistic, and DFTBA my friends. 

Forever and Ever and Ever

     When I got home after school today, I did what I normally do. I logged onto my computer and began my normal routine of checking for new YouTube videos, blog posts, and my daily comic. I clicked my link for the blog of one of my favourite authors, Maggie Stiefvater, and waited for the page to load. When it did, I scrolled down to look at the new post. Looking back at me on the screen was an image that made my heart skip a few beats. The cover art for Forever, the final book in the Shiver trilogy. I have been waiting for the release of this cover ever since I finished Linger. I knew that the book's release was going to be in July of 2011, so I would just have to wait. But I never expected the cover art to be out this quickly! You can preorder a signed copy here, and I suggest you do because it's going to be one helluva finale, I can assure you.
     The first book, Shiver, tells the near impossible love story of a girl and a boy. Sure it sounds ordinary, but I neglected to mention that this boy used to be a wolf, and is only human now, in the beginnings of winter, because he was shot. And he also saved this girl's life once, when he was a wolf. Throw in some amazing friends, a heart-wrenching history, and some incredible love, and you've got yourself one epic tale.
     I'm not going to tell you anything about the second book, because it will give away the amazing-ness of the first. Linger kept me at the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading it. There was just no stopping it. It crawled into my heart and has left its own impression. I just couldn't stop feeling for the characters.
     I am not afraid to admit that both of these books made me cry, nor am I afraid to say that I hope Forever makes me cry. It only means that they were able to scrape my heart raw, and that makes for some impressive literature. I recommend these books to all those who are looking for a little romance, a little adventure, and a lot of excitement. Five stars!

     So in the meantime, my friends, keep reading, and DFTBA. 

Sick in Bed

     Well, the inevitable has happened. I am sick. I've got a cold. Sore throat one day, runny nose and stuffy head the next. It's torture. I can't go 5 minutes without blowing my nose, and my head feels all stuffed up and heavy. And none of this is my fault. I was perfectly healthy, taking extra precautions like wearing a jacket and a sweater when going outside to prevent this. But no, my sister had to get sick, because of course a  jacket is just too good for her. No, she prefers to go out walking in the rain and the cold with only a thin sweater. So she got sick, and then I got sick.
     So now I am stuck in bed instead of going into the city. I could have gone, it was all my choice, but traveling and shopping and being with family when you are sick just isn't fun. Well, shopping is never fun for me, but I was looking forward to going to the book store. It's the only kind of shopping I can stand. I have spent the day lying in bed reading and being online. Not as fun as it sounds. At least I am warm and cozy though. Not that that makes up for any of this.
     If I am not better by Monday, I still have to go to school. Seeing as I am in grade 11 now, missing a day of school sets me back pretty far. Not to mention the homework that I would get. Also, since everyone else is at school, the Internet just isn't as fun. I hate being sick.
     That's all I really wanted to say. No links, no special stories or anything. Just to vent out my frustrations at being sick and warn you to not get sick. So stay healthy and DFTBA, my friends.

The Tortoise and the Hair

     Yes, I'm sure that I spelled the title for this blog correctly. No, I am not referring to the children's story in which a lazy rabbit is beaten by a determined turtle. I am talking about myself, and my hair. Currently, my hair is just past shoulder length, and blonde. Natural blonde. Yeah, go ahead, take this time to make your jokes. I really take no offense to any of them. Now that you're done, let me tell you the tortoise reference. For a couple months now, I have wanted to cut my hair, and I don't mean just cut the ends off and lets get out of here. I've grown quite tired of my hair, and this summer decided that I wanted to start off fresh and new. So,  I've decided that I'm going to cut it all off. All of it. Maybe leave an inch or two so that my head doesn't freeze during the winter (because it gets frakking cold up here!).
     I know you aren't understanding something now. What does cutting off all my hair have to do with my being tortoise-like? Instead of telling you, I'm going to complicate it even more. Last year, my school did fundraising for Plan Canada, and we raised a hefty amount of money for the size of our school and the current economic situation in our area.
     Have you put two and two together yet? Well, if not, my idea is to donate my head of hair to the cause, and set a goal. If we reach said goal, I cut off all my hair. If not, then better luck next year. As for being a tortoise, I still have not brought up my idea to the coordinator of the fund raising. I have been meaning to do so for the past three weeks. And yet, I have not. I could lie and say that I've been busy, but let's face it, I wasn't and we all know it.
     So anyways, before I wrap this up so that I can get back to the homework that I have been ignoring, I have one piece of news to share with you. My best friend, K, (that's all she is to you right now!) has also started a blog. She is insane and crazy and smart and amazing, and you should read her blog. I will link it ... HERE!   So that's it. Nothing else today. Until next time. Stay safe, my friends. And DFTBA!

A Beginning to Everything

     There is a beginning to everything. A beginning to every story, movie, and life. They are all different, though they may have their similarities. But none are exactly the same. Now I'm not sure what to say. I've never been good at beginnings. But I've got to start somewhere. How about I start with what is annoying me most right now. That would be the autosave button on the post creator. Pretty much every time I stop typing, the little button that says save now at the bottom of the screen turns dark blue, and autosaves a draft of my post. It's very useful though, in case there is a power fail, or my computer instantaneously combusts. Otherwise, all it does is distracts me, because every time it blinks, my eyes are brought to the bottom of the screen to look at that little button. And it's driving me insane.
     To start off, I think I should tell you that I am a Nerdfighter. No, I do not fight nerds, nor do I have any aversion to them. Why? Well, because I am a nerd. The term Nerdfighter was brought to life by the Vlogbrothers. They are Youtube vloggers. I am not going to go into what a Nerdfighter is, because that would take up quite a lot of time which I don't have. So, I'm going to do the nerdy thing and link you to the How to be a Nerdfighter video. By no means is this to pressure you into being a Nerdfighter, but it may help in the future to explain some of the jokes, and also it's an awesome video.
     So I have a great fear of the about you section on websites. It's just so freaking intimidating to me. It just sits there are laughs at me because it knows that I don't like it. And why don't I like it, you may ask? Well, the thing is, I just don't see the point in it. Sure, you can go to that little box and learn some "interesting facts" about me, or you can talk to me or read my blog, which is essentially the reason for the blog. So over time, this blog is going to become one giant about me section, and then it can laugh at the little, blank about me section.
     Lastly, before I actually post this and leave, I want to explain the reasoning behind my blog name and display name, Dandelions Fly. It was an inspiration from both my blog background, which is dandelions, and also from one version of the initialism of DFTBA, found in Hank's rap DFTBA. If you don't know what initialism or DFTBA is, then you clearly didn't watch the linked video, which means shame on you. And you know what? I'm not going to tell you. The version of the initialism that I took inspiration from is "Dandelions Fly Through Blue Air." I thought it sounded beautiful, and also, Dandelions Fly just sounds kind of dreamy and spacey, which is going to be how this blog is a lot of the time.
     So, enjoy the videos, don't be shy to tell Hank and John that I sent you, not like they're going to know who I am anyway, and I will write again soon. Hopefully. I will try for at least once a week. So, have a good week, and DFTBA my friends.
