Well Christmas was quite nice. I got a lovely home made purse from Louise and various treats in said purse, such as gum and an iTunes giftcard (which I used to buy an album by One Night Only and some Harry Potter score).
I got the book Firefly: Still Flying from Sherri, and Eclipse from Susie (even though we bought that a few weeks ago).
Then we went to my mom's and I got Kyle XY seasons 2 and 3, The Tales of Beedle the Bard by JK Rowling, Lissie's album Catching a Tiger, pajamas, The Time Traveler's Wife on dvd, and a sweater that I unfortunately already own.
Dave gave us each a card addressed to his "sons" haha. It's an inside joke in my family to call each other boys, so Dave got us cards saying how "now you've grown into a fine young man". It was hilarious.
It didn't snow until yesterday but I don't mind. I've spent yesterday and today basically either playing Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 or watching Kyle XY. I actually decided to shovel the patio out back just so I could get sunlight for an hour.
Maybe I'll actually get something done this week? (Probably not).
But I've been thinking since I've been watching so much Kyle XY. I first started the show when I was in middle school and it ended around halfway through my junior year. I used to think they portrayed teens so horribly, but now it's like whoaaaa. Especially Lori Trager. I hated her the most because I thought she was so unrealistic. But now she's like my favorite because she is exactly like me. It's scary. Sarcastic and witty, oh my God, the writers actually know what they're talking about.
My biggest complaint used to be about how "no teen would say the word 'barfatorium'" (which lori trager did) and now, since I've complained about the word so much, it HAS BECOME PART OF MY VOCABULARY. I use it in sentences. What is my life?!
Anyway, strange rant over. I now go back to reading hayleyghoover's hilarious blog and hope that i can someday write like her. :)
Ps. Sarah finished Rebel Angels today and she started The Sweet Far Thing and I can't wait to talk about the stuff I've been holding in my brain since June.
That's all.
See you in 2011!

Christmas Eve/My Family
I realize it's not Monday, but I'm just going to say that the Monday rule applies when once a week is the least amount of times I will post within 7 days. Anyway, not important.
Seeing as it's Christmas Eve, and while it is a time to think about Jesus and how awesome he is and such, it's also family time. So I just wanted to do a fun little post about the things I love about my family.
-For Christmas, the "To: / From:" tags are always "from" some actor/fictional character the receiver loves. I've gotten gifts from Buffy, Ron Weasley, Kartik, Edward James Olmos, Jacob Black, etc. It's just a fun little tradition we have.
-When we fight, especially me and Susie, it only lasts for like a minute. Here's how it goes:
Stacie makes an angry statement.
Susie makes an angry statement.
Both make angry statements.
Stacie: LOL Remember that time when some funny thing happened?
Susie: HAHAHA YEAH.
-Each of us, out of me and my siblings, has our own little sense of style.
-We watch, or at least we want to, It's a Wonderful Life every year. The majority of my family is watching it right now.
-We have millions of inside jokes. Peepad,cubbies,buying the costume trunk in The Sims 2.
-Susie understands me when I talk about fat/skinny/colorful words. She also shares my fear of Linda Blair.
-My grandparents are really strange, but we all accept it. They got us all the same cross necklace but I am proudly wearing mine. :)
-My mom is a total weirdo and she and I like to have dance parties and order the same thing week after week at Max Pizza.
-We all fight around the holidays but still manage to make each and every one awesome.
-One time my dad stopped the family from fighting by spraying Sherri in the face with whipped cream.
-My sisters agree to go see Harry Potter at midnight every time a new on is released.
-We all have different tastes in music, and can only agree on about three things we all like.
-Sarah and Sherri share my Whedon obsession.
There are so many more but I feel the sudden urge to play Rollercoaster Tycoon 2. (The Whedon thing reminded me; Sarah and I are building a giant park where every ride/store/whatever is named after something Whedon-related).
So yeah. That's all for now. Happy Christmas Eve! <3
BUHBYE!!

Fictional Characters
NOOO! I forgot to post yesterday. Oh well, Tuesday is almost the same as Monday, so I say we carry on and pretend that my memory works well and that I encoded the Monday schedule thing correctly.
So today I've decided to discuss fictional characters that are awesome. There are many of them, so for today I'll narrow it down to three. Perhaps I'll pick three more to write about some time in the near future. (I am almost positive that I will because I think all of my favorites deserve to be blogged about at some point).
1. Buffy Summers from the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer created by Joss Whedon. She is super awesome. She has super strength, fights vampires and other demons, and saves the world on more than one occasion, all while attending high school, (at least up until the end of season 3). I first watched Buffy in the summer of 2008, halfway through my high school life, (I was going to be a sophomore), and finished the series some time in early 2009. I cried my eyes out. Buffy is someone I find very inspiring. She represents the strength everyone has inside them, whether they realize it is there or not, (har har yes I love extra cheese on top of cheesey cheese statements). She is flawed, yet she strives past the things that try to stop her. She makes mistakes and somehow manages to be a hero every single day. Plus I love how Joss Whedon decided to make the ditzy blonde girl into the super hero for once.
2. Gemma Doyle from the book series by Libba Bray, the Gemma Doyle Trilogy: A Great and Terrible Beauty, Rebel Angels, and The Sweet Far Thing. The books take place in the Victorian Era in England at a boarding school called Spence. I really love Gemma's sense of humor, and how she keeps going even when she has no idea what it is that she is supposed to be doing. She posesses a great magic handed down to her from her mother, and she must find a way to keep it safe in the magical world known as the realms. I read all three of the books within just a couple of months. I started in May and finished in June. I also cried at the end of this series. I was sad to have to let these characters go. I'm hoping they will make movies out of these books, so that way I don't really have to for a little while, (sort of like Harry Potter; the books are over but the movies are not). Gemma is hilarious and awesome, so, read those books!
3. Hermione Granger of the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. Obviously, I have to write about Hermione. I've at least known of her character since 2001. That's nearly ten years. Right before watching Sorcerer's Stone for the first time at my best friend Emily's house, I looked at the cover which contained the video cassette (oh goodness...), and saw a girl with large, very strange, very bushy hair. I decided I did not like her right there and then.
But then she walked on to the train and introduced herself as Hermione Granger. I'm totally tricking you with the "but" at the beginning of that sentence. I still didn't like her. She was so bossy. "Ooooh, you'd better change into your robes. I know everything. Blaahh blah blahhh."
But then she met the sorting hat. I found her sort of amusing. But, like Harry and Ron, I didn't truly come around until the troll escaped that dungeon. After that, I could just relate to her so much. I loved school when I was 8, and 9, and 10, and 11. During 7th grade, as a 12 year old, I hated it, but mostly because I didn't really like my home life either. UNRELATED SENTENCE. xD
So, back to what I was saying. 8th Grade, 13 years old. I was head over heels for HP. I'd seen the first 4 movies, Goblet of Fire being my first in theaters, and I finally decided it was time to read the books. I read all 6 in a month or two. (Yes, I was quite crazy. Still am, a bit). The books really showed me Hermione's character, moreso than the movies had. So, I liked her since the first movie. I admired her so much after, meh, the 3rd movie, probably.
She's super smart, loyal, and stands up for her beliefs. For years now, I've aspired to be like her. Any time school is starting to drag, I just remind myself that Hermione gets all her work done, (plus I love the feeling of simply having done your homework and being prepared. I should do my work more often!). She really inspired me during Deathly Hallows. The things she did just for her friends, (well I guess the world, too), ugh, I can't even. I don't know what else to say. I realize I am a but biased seeing as this section has so much more in it compared to the Buffy and Gemma sections. BUT WHATEVER. I totally have to right to write about a character I've loved for 9 years. So, yeah.
Wow. I guess that's all I have to say.
I'll post on Monday. I can't let this Tuesday thing become a habit.
Now, I'm off to watch as many Christmas movies as I can before the season is over! Vacation starts in 2 days!
Unrelated things happening in my life:
-Had a band concert, having another in school on Thursday. We were really awesome. I've never been that proud of a performance before. Seriously!
-Saw Deathly Hallows a second time on Saturday. Better than the first time. Can't wait for that DVD.
-Speaking of DVDs, I really want to own Easy A. Best teen movie ever.
-I guess that's all now. Back on Monday.
Adios x

Things that freak me out
Oh look! I remembered the whole Monday thing!
Okay so today I got a phone call which led me to think about, you guessed it, things that totally freak me out.
It's not a very exciting topic but I can't seem to think of anything else at the moment. Plus since my phone call, which was nearly two hours ago, I can't seem to stop thinking about it. So, here we go.
1. Spiders. Dear God, why do such creatures exist? They're hairy, have eight legs, and are sometimes poisonous. WTF? Plus they like to hang out on my ceiling, right above my bed. My cat used to kill them for me but nowadays she's almost too fat to walk to her food bowl. I try not to make my dad take care of them; I have this one pair of ugly shoes to throw at them. But seriously, stay outside. You're not welcome in my house.
2. Clowns. Childhood fear. I used to have nightmares about them every single night. Unfortunately I recently saw a picture of some famous serial killer who dressed up as a clown. *shudders* Let's not linger on the subject.
3. The Exorcist. Once my sister Susie and I accidentily saw a picture of Linda Blair in scary makeup with her head turned all the way around. We slept in the same bed that night. And I'm sad to say that we were not little seven year-olds; this happened around five months ago. We decided to watch the movie in hopes of getting used to seeing her, but it didn't help. So now I just have to hope I won't come home one day to find my sibling possessed by Captain Howdy, or, you know, Satan.
4. Flying. Like in a plane. I've never done it so I can't say much about it. I just think the thought of it is somewhat terrifying. That's what my phone call was about today. It is very possible that I may fly to Hawaii next summer. It might not happen, but if it does, I suppose I'll have to suck it up, because I wouldn't miss it for the world.
I'm a nervous person in general, so I'm afraid of a lot of things. But if you were to ask me what I'm most afraid of, I'd probably say the things I listed above.
Hopefully I can think of more interesting topics in the future. :)
See you next Monday.
Adios.

Why Hello There!
This is my first post here on hiiiistacie.blogspot.
Howdy-do?
I've blogged plenty of times before, but it's been mostly on how high school is boring, the fact that I can't wait for the next movie based on whatever-book-obsession-I-happen-to-have-at-the-time to come out, and many other stupid things that happen to run through my mind as I write.
I'm not too sure about whether this blog will be dedicated to one specific topic. Probably not. But I'll get into the swing of things soon. I'm thinking of updating once a week, and, since I'm starting on a Monday, how about Mondays? Yes? Good.
So, right then. I'll think of something interesting to talk about next week shall I? Yeah. There will actually be a point in writing it other than, Let's get this first-post thing out of the way. But you know, yay, I've gotten it out of the way!
Til next week,
farewell....bye.
