Unachievements and The Year Ahead

Hi! Are you well? Are you swell? Did you fall down a swell well? I hope not. If you did, at least the wifi down there is good enough that you can be reading this.
I was just scrolling through my old posts to find one I'd been looking for when I stumbled across one that I wasn't looking for, one that I had in fact forgotten, and became intrigued. It was the post titled 'Epic-er Adventures and Whatever Else I Think Of' which you can read here http://www.didzsarandomblog.blogspot.com.au/2012/01/epic-er-adventures-and-whatever-else-i.html It's a post from January this year in which I found a list of 13 (Emily!) New Year's Resolutions/ Things I Wanted to Achieve This Year. In a cheesetacular reflective action, I will now see how I fared with my goals.


1. Make awesome YouTube videos!!!!! - I made mediocre YouTube videos which is more than I expected to do. Does that count? 2. Gain Tweeter (Twitter) followers - Check! I hit 150 follows the other day (I'm so Twitter famous that you peasants can't be within 4 feet of me! Hahaha nobody likes my tweets)!!! Thank you spam followers! 


3. Find my 2 missing books (I lost my Manga Drawing Tutorial book) - I never found that Manga book :/ And you guys know that my precious 101 Things is back in my possession.


4. Live through the end of the world - Check! That was an awesome day! Didn't die AND had fun. Sounds like quite the achievement!


5. Blog consistently - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH nope:(


6. Write in my diary more (yep. Definitely a preteen girl) - I legitimately forgot that I even owned that journal before I read that post. I think I wrote in it once after posting this. I'm really into commitment.


7. Finish as much of my novel as possible - I didn't do anymore of that novel and am not all too fond of the concept anymore. I did however starting working on another novel. Still, MASSIVE FAIL.


8. Get good grades - All round, my grades were quite good. I did get a B- for my COMPUTER STUDIES assignment where I had to make a MUSIC VIDEO. I remember telling you about that. I'm still very upset. Even more upsetting, overall for Computer Studies I only got a B :( I know that isn't an bad mark but it's the same mark I got for  HPE XP and Computer Studies has always been my best subject. And I want to use computers for a living. Even if I do have a successful tech-related career, I will always be sad about that one time I got a B for Yr9 Computer Studies.


9. FIND ADVENTURE!!! - I had a few. Non epic enough to call it an achievement, however.


10. Be more social - Lol noooooooooooooope.


11. Get angry less - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA also nope.


12. Make a new friend - Check!


13. Be crazy! 8D (already completed [within the first minute of the year!) - Check times a million.


I think I would call that a pretty unsuccessful year haha. Out of 13 goals I achieved 5 (+ 1 million). Maybe next year I will be more committed. I doubt it, though. Well this was nice, sentimental and a tad sad. It's been a good year, minion. We've had fun (I hope the fun was two way. I can only assume. [Did you have fun with me this year?]). I hope you decide to stick with me through 2013 and, more importantly, I hope I manage to stick with you (I sure didn't this year...). If I don't post again before the change of the calender, Happy New Year! I have this feeling 2013 is going to be full of achievement, progress, fun and growing. It's going to be one hell of a year! *end of sentimental mushy mush*


Bye my loyal Web Minion <3,Didzsa

Awkwardness and Family Time

Hi. It's Christmas today. If you celebrate it, Merry Christmas! If you don't, just have a good day :) Christmas means one (main) thing, awkward family time. One set of my grandparents and one set of aunt and uncles is here. Later today, I'll be catching up with the rest of my dad's family. Due to my social awkwardness and need for a reason for people to think I'm preoccupied and not attempt to initiate conversation with me, I will be live documenting my experience.

*This part isn't live it's kind of a back story yep*
When the fam first arrived I managed to stay in my room and avoid them by staying in my room on Tumblr which was nice. My parents then attempted to lure me out of my cave with food. Unfortunately it worked. I am now seated at a table with some of my extended family.

They're comparing the size of heads. I just. I'm just going to sit here silently. Judging them. You stories bore me. Peasants. Most of their tales consist of them being drunk and other people being drunk. Wow. Intriuguing. They keep talking to my sister about Lalaloopsies. I HAVE LALALOOPSIES TOO SHE BARELY EVEN KNOWS ANY OF THEIR NAMES. Sorry. I'm jealous of Lalaloopsies being LaLaLally's "thing". I hate thing stealers but I WANT TO STEAL HER THING I LIKE THEM MORE. They realize I'm blogging about them oh no. Nope. Stop talking about me. Dad thinks I'm tweeting but mum and my uncle know what's going down. OH YAY. Luckily they don't read my blog! :D Phew. They've gone back to being boring.

My uncle has a Game of Throne pin on wow nerd. Lol jks good for you! You wear merch nobody understands! I know that feeling!

My brother is inside playing Skylanders. He's got the right idea. Maybe I should "watch" him play. I've escAPED!!! I'm safely inside with my siblings. I'm wearing the most festive socks right now. FESTIVE!!! I just realized that this blog post is making me look very unfestive. I'm actually quite a festive person, I'm just not fond of social interaction. K I'm gonna go back to my room for Tumblr now. I shall join you again when forced social awkwardness recommences.

I designed some menus for the Christmas lunch that match the crackers and the family approves of them. Aw thnx. Brb FOOOOOOOODDD!!!!! XD

At lunch, my grandmother was telling this "funny" story that she saw on the Internet and said it was "really true" (as opposed to it being not really true...). People kept interrupting her and butting in with snide comments (I was one if those people) and the story went FORVER in a rambling fashion. In the end, after a marathon of kind of half listening, the punchline was ENTERTAININGLY AWFUL but still IN NO WAY WORTH IT. It was so painful. At the end everyone was like oh. That's it. Hahahahhha. Please don't try to be funny again, Grandma. Just stop.

Dad turned off my laptop's power source GEE WOW THANKS FOR THAT MANY THANKS CLAPS FOR YOU. (My laptop has a broken battery and is unable to charge so it must be plugged in to a power point at all times.)

In my cracker I got a FLIPPIN' BUTTERFLY KEYCHAIN! SWAGALICIOUS!!!!1!1!!11! Here's my joke: What do you call a dog with a bunch of daisies on it's head? A collie-flower! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAH no. It is kind of funny though, in a sad, sad way. I actually kind of love cracker jokes OKAY DON'T JUDGE ME I JUST FIND CHEESILY HORRENDOUS JOKES HILARIOUS OKAY I CAN'T HELP IT

Pop brought up the pimple on my nose (in Pop's defence, he didn't know that is was a pimple) and Lally is trying to take my Lalaloopsy THAT I GOT TODAY by stroking it and looking sad. GREAT CHAT. Not a happy chappy atm. Need to get some festive back in me. We're about to go to one of my uncle's houses to see the rest Dad's family. OH YAY :/

I'm back. Not a great deal happened at my uncles house. Well... not a great deal that I noticed as I spent most of my time silently paying very little attention. From the little information I gathered, the night was spent talking about alcohol (and consuming it), making people feel bad by bringing up old memories and being generally rowdy. I (smartly) spent most of my time hiding with Sox and we discussing our awkwardness and exchanged snide comments. Overall I rate this Christmas 3.8 out of 5. It could've been A LOT worse. It was actually pretty fun.

Remembered something HILARIOUS that happened: From one set of uncles an aunts, Lally recieved a Lalaloopsy (which means we're back to having the same amount of full-sized dolls :/) She immediately recognised to shape of the paper clad package. As she tore away the paper shell, her face dropped at the reveal of Patch Treasurechest. She looked utterly betrayed. She then referenced to Patch being a boy and expressed UTTER, SCREAMINGLY OBVIOUS AND BRUTAL DISAPPOINTMENT. She didn't like it because HE WAS A BOY. WOW SEXIST MUCH GOSH LALLY. I mean, it's still a toy designed for girls. C'mon! She was so unhappy. After that, my uncle, the buyer of poor Patch, was talking to Lal about her disapproval of the toy and, somewhere in that exchange, he asked if she would keep the doll. To this she offered the priceless line, "I'll keep it because it's a Christmas present." PAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH :'D OMG WOW SO GRATEFUL AHAHAHAHAHAHA I have a feeling my uncle's never letting that one go. At the time, I was quite mad that he didn't want Patch I MEAN I WOULD KILL FOR PATCH SERIOUSLY I WOULD BE OVERJOYED TO OWN ANY LALALOOPSY!!! After I offered to take him, however she changed her mind and grew "fond" of her gift. I have a feelig this was based purely of either A. Her realising she'd been a bad gift receiver and trying to make my aunt and uncle feel better or B. Her not wanting me to have her stuff. Anyway, she claiming to like it now but I have a feeling Patch will be a tad neglected by little miss Lally. (Earlier that morning, Lally got a micro [weird super deformed lalaloopsy thing] version of Patch and literally threw it away saying "Ugh it's a boy." Getting the full one was just too priceless.) Yep. End of funny story. And, also, the end of this post. I hope you survived Christmas and may all your gatherings yet to come e as unawkward as possible! Have a good one!

Apocalypse and Farwells

Hi. So I just survived the apocalypse. YAY FOR ME!!! I spent my final hours completely ignoring my family and wasting my life on the internet. In the last 10 minutes of 20/12/12, I tweeted my final words in the form of a mini speech. (Sorry for not posting it on here but only one person reads this and over 100 people read my tweets so yeah no offence.) I thought I would share that mini speech with you, despite not being dead and all.

"Time for my final words. I came, I fangirled and I wasted most of my life on the internet but that's okay because you were there and made every minute of it fun. Thanks to Aussie Twitter users for making my last moments hilarious. I'll miss my family, my friends and my wifi. Thanks to bands and YouTubers for being perfect. I'm glad I wasted my life obsessing over you."

I then preceded to watch the YouTube video 'Phil is not on fire 2' and live tweet the passing minutes. A fitting end, do you think? Did you do anything for the end of the world? Was there an apocalypse were you live? Follow up question, how are you commenting if there was an apocalypse where you are? Tonight I learn lots of things. Among those things are that apocalypses can be fun and Australians are incredibly hilarious. Happy Apocalypse, world <3

Changes and Newness

Hey blog (and possible [but not likely] web minions]). You look different (the blog, that is. Not you. I can't see you through the screen, that would be creepy.). Long time readers would notice that my humble blog has undergone a dramatic redesign. The reason for this redesign is, frankly, the other design was extremely ugly. What was I thinking when I made that? I hope no evidence remains of its past ugliness as it might tarnish my hopes of becoming a Graphic Designer. Covered By Your Grace, you served me well as a title font but that service has come to an end. Look at it now! It has SERIFS! This blog don't use cheesy hand script fonts in its title anymore, it uses a serif font because its classy now. It's also a lot brighter around these parts.From blue and orange (EW WHAT WAS I THINKING GROSS) to green and black (still ew but not as bad as blue and orange) to my trademark lime green, light orange, magenta and white, this blog has come a long way in terms of design. I also got rid of the out of date polls. I like this design. It's fresh and bright like something new. It's like a new blog. (A new blog where you'll actually post...?) Well. The design is new but I'm still the same old, rambling, random, not very intriguing Didzsa (and I'm still just as great at selling this blog -_-). Do you approve of the changes?

I feel like using my blog again. I've missed you. I'm home, Minions. The newness is inspiring. (My life however ever, is not, so let's just see how long this lasts.) **The real reason I decided to post again and to do the redesign is Sox145rox (my little brother) got a blog and I was like oh yeah I have a blog too. You should follow his blog/ add it to your reading list/ whatever it is you do on Blogger (I don't actually know [oops. I should probably know that...]) if you're a Brony who likes video games. http://bronyland.blogspot.com.au/  ** Okay. Yep. I'm happy with all this. Write to you in the future (hopefully... maybe... don't get your hopes up.)

No remember as this isn't a proper post. BYE!
