This is so awesome. You guys are so, so cool and I love writing in here because of you! :D I wish Blogger allowed you to respond to comments individually, though. That's kind of lame, but it's alright. Just know I'd love to. :) Yay for blogging! I receive an email whenever one of you comments and it's been so great to read them while I've been lying about the house ill. Thank you.
I saw Julie & Julia again last night with my mother and it was just as good as the previous viewing. I adore that film; it's so heartwarming and charming and I highly recommend it. Stanley Tucci and Meryl Streep need to have a child because there needs to be more talent in this word and those two are hogging it all. They need to pass it on! Anyway, I can't help but find it funny that I am in the opposite relationship than the two women in this film. Denis is the cook and I'm the writer (or, well, would love to be.) So everytime I watch this film, I want to go cook. But then I realise that I can't cook much more than sweet potato casserole worth a damn, whereas my boyfriend is, at this very moment, at a technical school preparing to take a two year cooking course. And I'm, for lack of a better description, the useless one. Ah well, at least I get food made for me, right? It's a lesson in how to be lazy.
This blog post is pretty lame because I have no good stories to tell...Oh! I'm going to the Pacific Science Center today in Seattle, which should be cool, I guess. I mean, this whole week has been strange because I'm going around the city I've grown up in a very touristy fashion. The thing I enjoyed the most was the Olympic Game Farm in Sequim, Washington, which I'd never actually been to. There was a rhino (!!!), lions and zebras. Plus there was a section where buffalos and llamas could actually come to your window and you can feed them bread; Denis' car is covered in buffalo drool. It was unique because, unlike a zoo, most of the animals had tons of room to roam and play. The only part I didn't like was the part with wild cats and dogs, which was just a series of cages. That was really upsetting. I also went to the aquarium earlier this week, which I'd only ever been to when I was younger. It has been since renovated and it is actually the location my prom is going to be held. (It's a nice location, but prom just isn't my thing, though. I'm sure I'll go, but you won't see any excitement about it on here.)
Well, I should be off. I need to finish getting ready and finish watching Doctor Who's Greatest Moments: The Companions. It's so great; I recommend a viewing if you watch DW, which you should. I hope you all have a lovely day and I'll let you know how the Science Center goes! xx
Quote of the day, thus far:
"Search any social networking site for a companion of the Doctor and their relationship status is, well, it's complicated."

^ That gave me quite a chuckle.

I love being a tourist in SoCa sometimes, so I totally know that story. Also, that quote is amazing. I hope you feel better soon. <3
We feel your love without the individual replies. No worries :)
The Olympic Game Farm sounds similar to a place called Hollywild in Spartanburg, SC where I lived while going to high school. It had a sort of safari-like setting also. A lot of fun. Glad you enjoyed your place.
I didn't go to prom. I sat in the cafe next to my high school, drank coffee, and wrote various things on prom night instead. It was splendid.
Ahh!
I always know which blogs I subconsciously look forward to reading the most by seeing which one I click first to read.
Guess what I read first today?
I'm reaaaaally happy you're blogging now, and I think you're an excellent writer :)
And though I evidently don't know you... you are FAR FAR from the useless one
I just watched that episode where Sarah Jane and Rose were bickering over The Doctor yesterday on SyFy.
Thanks for linking to the greatest moments video. :)
Oh man, that olympic game please sounds awesome. I want buffalo drool on my car. First, I need a car.
Seattle seems really cool, never been, but I will refer to your blog if I ever get there. So keep the touristy thing up.
Have you seen 500 Days of Summer? I'm going to marry that man.
I really want to comment but I just don't know what to say apart from I'm really enjoying your blog. Also I didn't actually know I could comment on your blog without a Gmail account, but I can which is cool. :)
Ooh! Have you seen the YouTuber fagottron? He makes really good videos mixing up clips from different clips from films. I'll link the Mary Poppins one.

Hope you feel better soon :)
Being touristy in Boston is always fun, the MFA and the Aquarium never get old. I should probably go be a tourist someplace I don't live sometime soon though!
Your prom is going to be at an aquarium?!? That's awesome. I agree about the whole prom-not-being-my-thing though, I'm not a big fan of grindy-dancing and all the music was terrible except about 5 songs. Love your new blog! :)
Not being the best cook ever does not make you useless! The world needs more sweet potato casserole.
As always, your blog made me smile :)
I loved Julie & Julia, as I love all Norah Ephron.
The Olympic Game Farm sounds really cool. I always feel so bad for animals in zoos.
Glad you're enjoying blogging. I'm enjoying reading it.
We're just as excited to read your blogs as you are to read our comments, possibly more.
And I'm so jealous you got to see zebras and rhinos. Did you take any pictures? [If you did, feel free to do some sort of offensive graffiti like Perez Hilton, just with Harry Potter references. That. Would. Be. Awesome]
I've only just started watching Doctor Who, but I love it so far. But I'd wager that Doctor Who's Greatest Moments has a fair bit of spoilers in it, so I'll pass on that for the time being.
And thanks for including that picrure of a rhino, I had no clue waht you were talking about. =P
i am soglad you enjoy writing posts... because to be honest i enjoy reading them!! haah i hope your feeling better and the science center is exciting for you!! :P
I understand how you feel about now having anything interesting to say, although, what you say is pretty interesting, whereas what I say is less so.
My town doesn't have any tourist attractions, so I can't really act like one here. I've never even been out of my state to be a tourist at all, so I don't really know what that's like...
Also, I don't watch Dr. Who because I don't get the BBC and my internet connection does not support watching TV shows online... it's just too slow...
But I keep hearing great things about it from lots of people; you, everyone else who's cool, so I really want to watch it.
i was in seattle last week touring around. it was funny cause i was like "i'm in the same city Kristina and Kayley live in!"
i went to the pacific science center and was very dissapointed. it had awesome stuff, like that humongous chair and table set. and my sister's friend held a cockroach. but it just didn't have very many exhibits.
but maybe it's just dissapointed because i've been to the one on toronto and it's absolutley amazing! but...i hope you had an awesome time.
I happened to see Julie&Julia tonight and enjoyed it very much.
p.s. you guys have MUCH better sunsets than where i live.
I wish that I've seen Julie & Julia... It looks absolutely charming. I saw the the book version of the whole story in Chapters the other day, but I didn't get it. For once, I want to go and enjoy a film without a preconceived notion from a book. Which is weird for me.
I just don't want another Time Traveler's Wife incident... Or you know, Harry Potter. XD

I *almost* started watching Dr.Who's Greatest moments before commenting. For Shaaame.
Yeah, at the begining of the summer myself and a few friends went around Galway (Where Im from) preteding to be tourists that had met at a hostel. It was pretty hillarious and we ended up paying attention to things I hadnt really noticed, like a bank thats actually a castle. It was fun.
I really want to see Julie+Julia but it wont be out here for a good while. 500 Days of Summer doesnt come out till tuesday. America gets everything first. Ugh.
Ok off I go to watch the greatest moments.
Hope you're feeling better soon.
Freya<3

The night life is a bit wilder than "Torchwood" lets on.
Oh Jesus. Whenever someone mentions Doctor Who, I feel compelled to talk about it, but I feel like I always come off as antagonistic and cynical. Not cool.
I'm bookmarking the Companions link for later though, even though I feel like it'll make me angry. I'm really not a fan of how New!Who has been handling relationships (ESPECIALLY relationships with the Doctor, and not just romantic ones). But... we'll see. :/
Oh Jesus, I hope I don't sound like too much of a bastard there. I'm actually a bit nervous posting a reply to your blog. XD
I absolutely love the Olympic Game Farm. My family and I go ever few years. However, the buffalo scare me and I try and roll up the window before the can stick their heads in looking for bread.
:o)
