I just thought you deserved to know:
I'm dropping out of BEDA for this month. August just isn't going to work for me this year, folks. Too much drama, planning, and not being home has led to me already missing more than one post. I do think I'll be blogging more often, though. It's fun to have a goal. Let's think now, shall we? What say you about a blog a week, until the rest of the year? I'll think about it.

Not at home.
No way to blog yesterday, sorry. Gonna have to cut today's post short, due to my lack of patience. Got to go, bye.

I could blog today.
I could blog today. Yeah, sure, I could tell you about how I emptied my grandparents' patio/garage thing so that they can paint in a few days. Or I could tell you about how my neighbor got shot a few hours ago, when 18 rounds flew through my neighborhood.
But I won't. At least not today, I guess. Right now, I'm listening to Disney covers and Disney shows and watching Youtube videos with my friends. And that, I say, is more important than anything else at the moment.
See you tomorrow!

DISNEY SONGS IN MY PANTS!
About twenty minutes ago, I told my friends goodnight and started heading off to bed. About ten seconds later, I realized I still had to blog, so I stayed on a little bit longer to chat with my friends.
Since then, we've decided that literally every Disney song works great if you add "in My Pants" to the end of the title. Instead of my usual blogging, I'll list some here.
"Mother Knows Best in My Pants" from Tangled.
"A Whole New World in My Pants" from Aladdin.
"I'll Make a Man Out of You in My Pants" from Aladdin.
"I See the Light in My Pants" from Tangled.
"Prince Ali in my Pants" from Aladdin, which my friend Francis (YouTube and Twitter!) called "a dazzling place I never knew."
"Can You Feel the Love Tonight in My Pants?" from The Lion King.
"Daughters of Triton in My Pants" from The Little Mermaid.
"I Can Go The Distance in My Pants" from Hercules, provided by the lovely* Ali (Twitter, YouTube, and Potato!).
"Someday my Prince Will Come in My Pants" from Snow White.
And then we moved on to Hannah Montana songs:
"Let's Get Crazy in My Pants" by Hannah Montana.
"Pumpin' Up the Party in My Pants" by Hannah Montana.
"Nobody's Perfect in My Pants" by Hannah Montana.
And then Nikki (YouTube and Twitter!) mentioned Chameleon Circuit:
"An Awful Lot of Running in My Pants" by Chameleon Circuit
and from then on, we didn't really have a theme.
"Willy's Song in My Pants" by Hank Green.
"Bravest Man I Ever Knew in My Pants" by Ministry of Magic.
"In Which Draco and Harry Want to Make Out in My Pants" by The Whomping Willows.
And now, I will go to bed. See you tomorrow!
*Ali gets "lovely" status not because I think she is superior to the other people I linked to in this blog, but because I forgot her in the first draft of it and I feel pretty guilty.

Big Brother
Not many of you know this, unless you follow me on my second Twitter account or I forget to tweet from it and accidentally use my main one, but I am a huge fan of the CBS show Big Brother. Now I don't know what that tells you about me, but it certainly lets me know that I am a huge freak who obsesses over watching every single move a group of people make over the course of three months.
Lately, I've decided that I would like to one day be on the show. I'm sure that I'm not good tv, and I wouldn't appeal to enough audience, but c'mon, they have Adam on this show. I can't possibly be worse than Adam, can I?
The only problem I have found with my plan to be on Big Brother is the age limit. I am only 18, meaning that the very soonest I can be on the show would be in July of 2014. But hey, not only does that give me enough time to reach the American legal drinking age, but if I planned everything right, it would put me in line to finish college just a few weeks before! I'd even have time to watch every season of the show that I missed.
How fun of a way to celebrate graduation would that be, huh? Spending three months in a house with other people, for free, with the chance of winning up to $500,000 dollars? Sounds great to me! Sure, I would have no privacy, and depending on what I did in the house, I might not be able to find a job. Those will just be risks that I would have to take.
Anyway, for the rest of this blog, I'd like to talk about what is currently going on in the house, as of show time. Brendon, as we all expected to happen, was voted out of the house. Rachel went into hysterics of course, but that's just Rachel. Hopefully she'll perk up in the next week or so and give Dani some real competition.
The Head of Household competition went by as planned, with Dani's coaching Kalia earlier in the week proving to be useful. I am so unbelievably happy that Kalia is HOH, and I don't think Dani could have been put in a better position. She's done quite the turnaround since nearly ruining her game a little over a week ago.
Hopefully, Kalia will do something smart and get Rachel out of the house. I think the easiest way to do this would be to backdoor her, and to do this, Jeff and Jordan need to be 100% in on it and with Kalia and Dani. If Kalia put up Jeff and Jordan as pawns, and the other competitors in the Power of Veto competition are player's choice, they can choose Dani and Lawon, making absolute certain that they get the veto. The veto would get used to replace Jeff with Rachel, and Rachel goes home in the same way that "her man" did last week. Donunzio.
Of course, this isn't the way things always work in the Big Brother house, so we naturally have a problem. Next week, a past house guest will play against said evictee, and I think this means that we're going to end up with Rachel vs. Dominic, and I'm honestly not sure who would win. I guess it's all right, though, as the person I am rooting for, Danielle, will be able to compete for HOH again, and I'm sure that Big Brother will make sure the odds are ever in her favor. Get it? Big Brother is kind of like the real world Hunger Games, except nobody dies. And they get food. And shelter. And you have to pay to watch them sometimes. And there are people who actually want to watch them. So, yeah, just like the books.
I guess that's it for me tonight, folks, and I'll see you tomorrow!

A blog.
As I sit here, listening to Katy Perry's "Firework", I feel like a plastic bag. I don't really talk about this, but in seventh and eighth grade, I had to deal with depression so bad that it nearly caused me to be held back in the eighth grade, seeing as my grades dropped faster than, well, I can't really think of anything that's fast... Give me a sec. Okay, my grades dropped faster than the experimental particles in the Large Hadron Collider. Lately, I feel like it's all coming back. I can't help but find a negative side of things, and I put a damper on every conversation. I don't feel like I have an irl friend that I can trust to talk about it, so I just don't. I don't and it hurts like hell. I spend most nights lying in bed, aimlessly wishing that I can just fall asleep and not have to think for a few hours. Needless to say, I've managed to be up for every Pottermore clue thus far. A blessing and a curse.
I'm not saying this for pity, I promise, but I just need to let it all out. I'm scared. I'm broken. I'm worried. I'm terrified. I swear I have no intention to do anything stupid, and I think my tattooless body is enough to prove that I am a wimp and in fear of pain. Besides, I'm already in enough.
I've been sick since the release of the final Harry Potter movie*, and as I show no signs of getting better, I'm going back to see my doctor tomorrow. If you haven't heard, I have "walking pneumonia", which is totally not helpful with everything else going on in my life. All I want in life right now is to get better. I realize that I am privileged and lucky, and today's holiday in Nerdfighteria has actually perked me up quite a bit. So if you're still reading this, I want to say that I love you. I sincerely love you, and am so grateful to have you in my life. It honestly means so much to me that people actually care about me, and you all bring out the very happiest parts of me, even when I feel like I'm in total darkness. So, thank you.
I don't feel up to doing the things I've tracked today, so they will hopefully make their return tomorrow. Until then, folks. And as always, RIA, Esther. <3
*God, it feels weird saying that. Scary.

I'm sorry. (ALREADY?!)
Regrettably, today's blog will also be a short one. If you remember, last spring (or was it the spring before?) my mom was diagnosed with severe anxiety. About 15 minutes ago, our street had a drive-by shooting, in which, luckily, no one was injured. As she is now a tad, and I use this word very loosely, freaked, I will probably end up spending the next few hours calming her down.
I promise to not be a failure tomorrow, and I can't wait to actually tell you what I've done since my second-to-last blog. Until then, friends!

My bed looks really nice right now.
Well, I guess I've already messed up. To answer questions: yes, I am doing BEDA for the rest of this month; yes, I missed the first day; yes, I am sorry; yes, this is probably going to be a short post. Now that we've done that, I'll let you know why I was so late.
Last night, which a phrase that feels weird to say when you've only just returned home, I went to my first SF Giants game. My little brother played for the Junior Giants this year, which led to us getting free tickets for the game. We even got free food! FREE FOOD! Right. I'm not going to talk about the game any more than I already have, because while the Giants are not my least-favorite team, they are not my favorite (and neither were the team they played against, so I don't want to waste our time.
I am two days away from finishing my summer school courses, and about two weeks from the first day of school. This year is going to be different for me. As my time for declaring a major becomes exponentially smaller, my enthusiasm for a variety of possible career choices grows further than I ever imagined it would. This year, I plan on getting nothing less than an A in any class, and to figure out what I plan on doing. I only mention this now because I am going to need your help. Withhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif Tumblr, friends, and Pottermore, how do I plan on staying on track? HOLD ME TO THIS, FRIENDS. My future is in your handshttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif.
I haven't decided what I want to do to track progress throughout the month, so until I do, I'll just post everything that I'm considering tracking underneath this post. I'm out for the night/morning, see you later today!
Miles ran: 0, but I climbed a ton of ramps today, and walked a few miles. Not that that really counts, or anything.
