The Quote Challenge: Pt I

Day 01: A quote that describes you. 

"You spend your whole life in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining the future that keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present."

-John Green 

Slacker.

I haven't updated this blog in a little over a month and I suck. Granted, I don't have any followers so I suppose it doesn't really matter. But to get me back into the writing (hem, typing) mood again, I'll be doing a couple thirty day challenges on this blog, including the letter challenge, the rant challenge, and the quote challenge. The first two are thirty days long and the latter is only fifteen days. Obviously, these challenges will extend into next year. Ah well. I think it will be fun to try this out. :)

Au Revoir.

Modern Nature

Oh, what a world this life would be.
Forget all your technicolor dreams.
Forget modern nature,
This is how it's meant to be.

Hello there.

blogging from computers' class.
ooooh, rebbeeeeeelll.

"It's not so bad being dead like me."

I just finished Dead Like Me this afternoon, which is rather pathetic because it took me a full year just to watch twenty-nine episodes when it only took me a month tops to finish watching Doctor Who on Netflix.
To be honest, I didn't think I would like this show when I first got into it, but now I'm sad that I've got nothing to watch anymore. Doctor Who's on hiatus, Torchwood's been taken over by the Americans, Buffy and That '70s Show are over, and Glee's only on Tuesdays. What am I supposed to do with my life now?
...Wow. I am so lame.
I think what I'll miss the most about this show is Mason and his ever-so-eloquent comments. It's not really that surprising that he would be my favorite, seeing as he's the only Brit on the show. Daisy was slowly growing on me as well, but of course the show had to end before I could get the chance to full-out like her.
Anyways, I have nothing of value to say anymore, so I'm just going to wrap things up before I annoy you all too much.
(Though I must also add, Dead Like Me definitely wins the award for the television show with the most cussing. Props to them.)

"Ah, music. A magic beyond all we do here."

Summer of '09.

This song has been stuck in my head for AGES now. I definitely prefer this cover over the original. 

(Fair warning to those who've never heard this song: 0:02 scared the crap out of me when I first heard this. You'll get over it though. Hopefully.) 

Au Revoir.

Introducing Me.

Bonjour, I'm Alexis.

I'm fourteen. I read, I write, I cry over fictional characters. You know, typical fangirl behavior. Doctor Who and Harry Potter pretty much make my life. Nerdfighter since 2010. I don't do things that normal teenage girls are supposed to do. I don't go shopping with my friends, go to parties every weekend, or put layers of makeup on my face before greeting the world. Instead I waste away for hours a day on Tumblr, read a couple books, and spend my life watching YouTube videos. Yeah, I'm pretty lame. 

I'm just some Asian girl that was born in Germany and currently lives in Michigan. Yeah, people tend to have a hard time grasping that concept (for reasons I can't really explain). I grew up travelling and I intend to travel some more in my adult years. London is my dream city, and if all goes to plan, I'll be going there within the next couple of years. 

Oh, and speaking of London, I fee that it's best to inform you that I'm an anglophile. So if I blab on too much about England too much in the future, I apologize in advance for ignoring you. 

Anyways, moving on. 

I'm a Gryffindor at heart, Slytherin in mind, and somehow I got Sorted into Hufflepuff on Pottermore. (I'm still trying to figure out how this happened. You'll soon learn that I'm not loyal and trustworthy enough to be in this particular House.) 

Oh, and we can't forget orchestra. I should probably mention that I'm a violinist and that I've been a proud OrchDork for the past five years. Orchestra is pretty much the only extracurricular activity I'm willing to pursue, so it's likely that you'll hear about this a lot.

So there you have it. This is me. There's so much more I could explain to you, but quite frankly, I'm too lazy to bother. You'll discover more about myself and my personality with future blog posts to come. 

Au Revoir.

-Alexis. 

Oops.

Look at me, living life to the fullest and having completely legitimate reasons for never posting!
...Not.
To be honest, I completely forgot about this blog's existence until I, the narcissistic prat I am, googled myself and found this in the search results.
This, however, will never happen again! I promise you that I will try updating more frequently now and attempt to stop procrastinating. I'll try to find time between school and my social life (who am I kidding? I don't have one) and update this at least once or twice a month.
You can expect to see an "about me" post next, because I believe introductions are in order before I can truly start pouring out my thoughts to you.

Au Revoir.
-Alexis.

(Another) Attempt At Blogging.

I've always liked the idea of publishing my thoughts to the world and allowing anyone to see them. So why not try blogging? Unfortunately, this has never really worked out for me in the past. You see, I have so many great ideas brewing in my brain, but I've always had trouble expressing my thoughts.
Ignoring the little voice in my head that told me this would be a bad idea, I went along and made this blog. Don't expect anything great to come out of this though, for it's only to help me get back into the habit of writing (or typing) again. Sure, I've got my tumblr blog and I might as well do it there rather than here, but we all know that tumblr is for lulz and not for serious writing.


Au revoir.
-Alexis.
