First of all, Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm really enjoying just spending time with my family. I think we're going to watch Jim Carrey's Christmas Carol tomorrow, possibly with the way cool 3D glasses.

Also, I'm almost 44,000 words into my NaNo novel. I kept worrying that I was going to run out of plot before I got to 50,000 words, but I'm not worried at all anymore. It's going very smoothly right now.

I don't know if I said this on here before, but since I was able to be so productive with my free time, I've decided that even though school is still going on, I'm going to try learning more Irish and some Swedish as well. I can do that! I found some amazing, complete, and free resources in various places all over the web for learning Irish. I love it. I don't have to pay $500 to learn it from Rosetta Stone. Yay for internet.

I've been sick this week, and so I've got all this junk going around in my body. It started with my sinuses and now it's moving toward my lungs. Eh, it's great. My voice is really messed up.

Anyway, that's all for now. I wanted to post here since I forgot about it for a while.

Oh, I should mention, I'm reading Pride & Prejudice. I love it. It used to be really hard for me to read books that were written in the 1800s, or even Tolkien. Something changed in my brain though, and that stuff is easier for me. It makes reading a lot better, since I can read classics without feeling burdened by the language.

Bye for real now. Don't eat too much. I've heard that between Christmas and Thanksgiving adults gain like 15 pounds. (!!!!) And over the years, even if they lose weight, they still add about a pound permanently to their weight each holiday season. So, don't go crazy. You'll still have food to eat tomorrow.

For the past two and a half months I've been following the progress of these four English YouTubers on their journey to write and produce a song and music video to see how high in the UK charts they could get. They're pretty high in the UK charts right now, the song's been up for two days and already shot up to the top 30.

All the money they're making is going straight to charity for children in need. ("Children in need" may be the title of the charity...)

I wanted to share it with you! Part of history! It's amazing how powerful the internet is. It makes me very proud to be a part of this generation.



And here's their YouTube channel where you can find some more information.

And the song is really catchy!

I was doing my homework like a responsible student when I came across this in my logic text:

Before Harry Potter, Fred and George were the most boring names on the planet. They were kind of the default names my mom would use to name people or things. Along with Bob, and Joe is another one of those "Mr. Smith" names. I'm sure it's that way for most people. Most normal people. As soon as I read "Fred" I was all excited and imagined two tall skinny redhead twins ordering cheeseburgers at a local diner. And who cares about Joe? Because the inference for that particular set of premises is "If George orders a double cheeseburger, then Fred will order a double cheeseburger."

Mmhmm. Weasley twins for the win.



But not cheeseburgers, because I'm not a fan of cheeseburgers.
