Awkward homecoming, awesome video, Last Vlad Tod Book, and Temple Grandin


Awkward Homecoming
So my homecoming was last week, and it was awkward. The friend I went with named Rob ditched me when we got there even though my mom charged him with the duty of looking out for me. He is a junior. I got to dance sometimes with 5 people at once. Unfortunately, there were 2 things bringing me down:
1.   1    No-one romantically danced with me
2.    2   Seeing people lip lock a lot.

It was still sort of fun, but I don’t think that now. Oh well.

Awesome Video
I made a video the other day called 28 Months Later. It is my own 1:33 second sequel of 28 weeks later. I was going to shoot darts with my friend/ex-boyfriend and his little brother, and I was going to vlog about it while I was there. But then I realized that since I had a camera, nerf guns, and was at a park, I could shoot my own sequel to one of my favorite zombie movies 28 Weeks Later. I know that it looks sucky, but here is the link:


It only took under 30 minutes to make with only a few outtakes and one extra piece that I am not allowed to post.

Last Vladimir Tod Book
I am doing the last book of the series The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod for my book report. It’s called:
The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod: Twelfth Grade Kills
The next book report I’m doing is called:
The Slayer Chronicles: First Kill
I actually bought the book and it’s a signed copy too. But when I read the last book of Vlad Tod, I cried. These are the reasons why:
1.       Vlad had to kill someone in his family
2.       Too many people died
3.       It was over
I actually have 1 favorite part because it made fun of Twilight:
Mulling it over Vlad wiped the lip gloss off with the back of his hand. Vampires, after all, didn’t sparkle.
Vlad had just kissed Meredith for no reason in the book, and she was wearing glittery lip gloss. YAY HEATHER BREWER HATEST TWILIGHT!!!!!!! Also, from what I can guess from her dedicating her book to who she calls The Minion Horde, I’d say she means that the horde is the fans.

Temple Grandin
For those of you who don’t know, Dr. Temple Grandin is a woman who is Autistic, but is amazing. She didn’t speak until the age of 4, but in the end, she got a PhD, a masters, and changed the way we look at Autism. Here is a photo of what she looks like:
She started figuring out things about the nerves when she was in High School at her Aunt Ann’s Cattle Ranch. She saw this machine that basically ‘hugs’ the cattle and calms them down. She started using it, and then she calmed down. She also figured out what abilities she had that she could use. She also has photographic memory. As she puts it, her mind works like Google Images. She is an amazing woman, and is one of my heroes. I will have a new blog post next month or next week. I don’t know when.
