Getting Some Things Down In Writing

Hello.

I go back to school in two weeks and I can't keep myself from thinking about how I want this year to be Different. Brilliant. I really want to talk about this on the internet and I don't want to make a video about it until it's official, or even semi-official. So, here I am. Talking about this here.

Okay, back in July I contacted Lori Earl, mother of Esther Earl, HP fan and nerdfighter extraordinaire. Yes, I am talking about the Esther Earl to whom John Green dedicated his most recent book, and the same one died from thyroid cancer two years ago at the age of sixteen. Last year, her mother and father founded a nonprofit organization called This Star Won't Go Out. Their goal is to carry a bit of that burden for hurting families through financial gifts. They do great work.

So, back to what I contacted Lori about. I want to do some sort of fundraiser with TSWGO. She very quickly responded to me and gave me numerous examples of what I could do. What I'm going to do is sell TSWGO bracelets at my high school. My school has fundraisers multiple times a year, and they usually involve bracelets. Lori told me to just email her telling her how many bracelets I need, and she'll send them to me to sell for whatever donation. The only hitch in this plan is that I will need to work heavily with my dean and guidance counselor. Eh.

Despite the fact that I would have to work with administration, I still really want to do this. Even more, I feel I need to do this.

For now, Internet. Good bye.

Time Really Does Fly

So, it's been a while. I'm sorry. I don't really have an excuse to why I haven't posted here other than I just didn't. I mean, I had time. Plenty of time. A plethora of time. And I did try to post here, but, I didn't. I would open Blogger and then write a bit, but then end up closing the page.

I've started another book. And finished none. Ah, that's a lie. I finished Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan. I started it...months ago. But I had borrowed it on Nook, and then the loan timed out. So, I never finished it. I got all of John Green's books for my birthday, so I finished Will Grayson, Will Grayson the second I got it. Literally. I'm currently reading 1984 by George Orwell, which is nice, and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.

After I last posted, I went to, and returned from, Virginia. I'm in Pennsylvania now. And tomorrow, I will be in New York (not home though.) and later tomorrow night, I will be back in Pennsylvania. I also went to New Jersey the other day.

I have finally given in, and I am updating my iPhone from iOS 3.2 to the current version, iOS 5.1....yeah, I've never updated it. Can you tell?

Videos on the channel New York to Texas will resume their regular schedule on Monday, the twentieth. Caroline went back to Texas on Monday. She starts school tomorrow...or rather, today. It's almost four in the morning. Oh dear.

I've been making videos on my own channel pretty frequently though. And there will be one up by the end of the week.

Also: This is something that I didn't post about on any social networking site, not Tumblr, not Facebook, and  not Twitter, but my cat died. She was ten years old, and I've had her for almost my entire life that I can remember. Like, I have memories from before I was four, but I don't remember not having a cat. So, yeah. she had cancer, and we didn't want her to suffer because we love her.

So, I leave you on that note.
