BEDA DAY 17: Karen Kavett Can't Be the Best Temp in Chiswick... Or York

Advice from Maureen: "What do you do when your best friend asks you out, then says he texted the wrong person?" "You say, 'Let's get married."
"Okay so now I'm wondering if you are married. Are you?" "Instead of answering, I will make a STRANGE GESTURE. *gestures*" <-jaegherghe love her.

Everyone's always complaining that I go to bed too early. EVERYONE ELSE JUST GOES TO BED TOO LATE. Everyone wakes up too late as well. I EXPECT A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP EVERY NIGHT. I'm tired right now. I'm just gonna say it's because y'all made me stay up an hour. And then tried to get me to stay later xD Noooo, never again. You know I've got commitment to something when I'll stay up late. I stayed up on my phone to midnight until the last second of the competition. And since we were like 3000 votes ahead, there was no way we were anything but first. So I proceeded to silently celebrate, thrashing about, and jumping about.

MATH
Sierra's tweets about the August Trig regents being tomorrow got me thinking about math. I'm gonna be taking Calculus as a Sophomore. This is not normal. I go to a nerd school, and there's... two others in my grade who are gonna be taking it this year, as well. Out of 1500 kids in my grade. And it's not just because I'm smarter than everyone, definitely not! It's just that even though my middle school is the most suckish middle school in the world, there's like two smart classes per grade and the other twenty are just ghetto kids. I was just somehow offered an opportunity.

I'm no math genius. No science genius either, yet I just finished all the New York requirements for science and math credits by Freshman year. Except there's that nerd school thing again. I'm also done with New York state language requirements. Except with my school, to get a Brooklyn Tech diploma, I have to take two more years of math, science, and French. I'm fine with that, anyway. Yet I'm slightly scared about continuing on with advancer math classes. In 8th and 9th grade, the day before the regents, I've cried about being too stupid to take the test. In 8th grade I was talking to my dad about the regents the next day and then started crying and saying that I didn't want to take it, because I had the option not to. This year, it's required because I'm in high school. I was still studying the night before because of how the finals were the days before so it was just chaotic. I wasn't doing so well in practice problems and just had a breakdown and cried into the bathroom until Twitter helped me realize that crying wasn't going to get me anywhere the day before.

KAREN
Just because this blog is where I just fangirl people. KAREN KAVETT. Never did I know that I could get obsessed with someone so quickly. Yet, she's a great person to admire!!! It's not like I admire anyone who is not absolutely deserving of being admired. I don't get why someone would greatly admire someone who is in no way anything to look up to, that's beyond me. She's an amazing nerd, she's an amazing graphic designer, she's adorable, she's hilarious, she's... Karen Kavett. I've been watching her videos all day instead of blogging. Her first video blog ever... I'll admit. It. is. badddddd.

I've been realizing all day just how much I've seen Karen before, or seen her work, or have heard people mention her, without really processing it. Lauren practically fangirls her every second of her life. I've been to Karen's website multiple times before. I've obviously seen her works on posters ad CDs and such. I've seen her face all over. Then, when she finally revealed herself as FakeJohnGreen, I thought "Oh, that's cool..." and eventually followed on Twitter, not really knowing who she was, or why I was following her on Twitter.

Then, I suppose she tweeted me about her Dan 3.0 parody video, which is why I both started watching Dan, and subscribed to her YouTube channel, that video was funny. Between yesterday and today, I realize that she kind of really has impact on the fandom if I've come across her unintentionally so many times.

Also, when we were talking on the skype chat about shipping Karen Bernstein *cough* with various people *cough*, Rebecca thought we were talking about Kavett, and proceeded to talk about how Karen is like her photoshopping idol. At the time, I was thinking about how there could be no Karen in the world as cool and awesome as Karen Bernstein. (Now I'm realizing that that wouldn't have been true back then, since Karen Allen is awesome).

I somehow got to be looking at Karen's resume. I didn't know they put your typing speed on your resume. 60 words per minute. All I could think was. "Hmmm. 60 words? Well she's certainally not Donna Noble. Donna Noble is the best temp in Chiswick (100 words per minute).

Emily is supposed to be the best temp in York. I'm starting to think she's lying. Since it seems that the best temps of places in England start to have a new job of being the Doctor's companion, I'm assuming that Emily will be picked up in this big blue box. Then, it is her duty to go forward in time and get me a winning lottery ticket, which will then allow me to pay for the expenses of LeakyCon. And that is how I will attend LeakyCon '11. Except that plan doesn't seem to be working. WE'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT FOR 2015!

Also, earlier, I don't know if it was the heat, or WHAT it was, but I went totally insane. I played Total Eclipse of the Heart on YouTube, just holding my phone up to my ear, and started singing along, not too loud, in hysterically funny voices while dancing about. Then I stopped singing along and started just quoting things. "ROSE would know what to do" and started singing the Double Rainbow song at the same time. Insanity. I also apparently missed being called down for dinner the first few times due to insane activity. I went downstairs and walked into the kitchen and was just like o_0 why is everyone finishing their food?

Also, when walking home with me dad and sister after getting shoes for school, which is in... 22 days. Gosh. I started singing the Double Rainbow song in wacky voices. And just kept quoting it. Then all of the sudden I remembered when I googled "double rainbow" on my phone and it came up with stores near me. So I was just like "I FOUND OUT THERE'S A DOUBLE RAINBOW BAKERY IN FLUSHING, CAN WE GO THERE?" and then somehow we got to be discussing making double rainbow buttons.

That thought hadn't even CROSSED MY MIND. I've been spending time just looking up double rainbow... "merchandise," and have come across quite a few absolutely spiffeh buttons. I immediately was just like "WANT!" Now I'm just gonna design a load of double rainbow buttons and make them into buttons, because that would be so totally awesome. I'd feel so cool wearing them. Especially to school. Yeahhhhhhhhhh.

Btw, I FOUND my "FIND!" button. I had not been able to FIND my "FIND!" button, but I did it! I FOUND it!

I also love when my dad calls me to ask if I want to come and watch Wipeout. XD

STUFFS: 

I completely just sang out the words to this.

http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=123277517720271 <-- Join my fanclub. Really. XD AKJGFHSEIUGHURTG THIS THING MAKES ME SO FREAKING HAPPY. Looking at this thing really lifts my spirits up

Because I'm alright. If alright is really special timelord code for "not alright at all," then I'm alright, too. I want Donna to be my mum. She'd be a great mother.

I DON'T CARE ABOUT GUYS AT ALL. MY PREFERENCE IS DRAGONZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
