Internet Things

When TheAwkwardnauts played 'Never Have I Ever' on our YouTube channel
Lee said he'd never been to more than 10 US states...
(he's English...)
and since airports count, I lost a finger...

Annnyways...
I was reminded of this when I read Elysie's most recent blog...
An interactive map that keeps track of your travel stops!

&& I just had to play!

visited 13 states (26%) Create your own visited map.

 ....
It was fun.
I just have serious wanderlust 24/7 these days...

Okey.
I am done trolling the internet during these late hours...
Nite nite.

MemeTime: Favourite TV Shows

I found this survey on Tumblr and had to do it!

TV show survey! Pick your five of your favourite TV shows (in no particular order) and answer the following questions about them. Don’t cheat!
1) Buffy the Vampire Slayer
2) True Blood
3) Smallville
4) Big Bang Theory
5) Doctor Who
Who is your favourite character in 2?
Eric Northman

Who is your least favourite character in 1?
Oh man, this one was really hard. Professor Maggie Walsh.

What’s your favourite episode of 4?
hardhardhardhard! Probably "The Gorilla Experiment" because it is a great episode for Sheldon and Penny.

What is your favourite season of 5?
*gasp* I have to pick?! Well the first one I'd purchase would probably be Season 2. Or Season 5. Gah!

What’s your favourite ship in 3?
Lois and Clark. I just have to!

Who is your anti-ship in 2?
Um.. Tara and anyone. I'm just not a Tara fan.

How long have you watched 1?
Season 3, part 1 of the graduation episodes. Mum finally decided I was old enough to watch. And I was in love.

How did you become interested in 3?
I have always loved Superman lore represented on TV!

Who is your favorite actor in 4?
I gotta go with Jim Parsons! It just isn't BBT without Sheldon!

Which show do you prefer out of 1, 2, or 5?
1. Then 5. Then 2.

Which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 or 3?
I've seen and own every episode of Buffy, including the spin-off Angel.
I only own 4 seasons of Smallville.

If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be?
Penny!

How would you kill off your favourite character in 2?
KILL ERIC NORTHMAN!?! I think not!!! ...answer: too much sex with me.

Give a random quote from 1.
"A cranky Slayer is a careless Slayer!"

Would a 3/4 crossover work?
Maybe. The BBT boys would definitely complain about the improper lore in Smallville.

Pair two characters in 1 that would make an unlikely, but strangely okay couple.
I will not mess with the Whedonverse this way. Sorry.

Overall, which show has a better cast, 3 or 5?
Crap. Smallville pited against Doctor Who in casting?! I can't! If I must- Doctor Who. Only because there are some casting choices in Smallville that made me WTF!

Which has better theme music, 2 or 4?
Big Bang Theory. It's my alarm tone on my phone.


What are some of your favorite TV shows?These are so not all of mine.
I love so many.

My Banned Book List

I hate not being able to finish a book.
Hate is a strong word.
So, yeah--
I hate not being able to finish a book.

I have many friends who are born writers...
I have seen how much work, blood, sweat and tears go into each creation.
So when I cant finish a book, it hurts my heart.
I feel like I am betraying the author--
like I am 'pooh-pooh'ing all their hard work.
Then I get over it at 1am and write this blog.


Kat's Banned Book List:
  • The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
    by Stieg Larsson
    • Why it and it's successors are banned: I don't think it translated into English well. Each page dragged on and on. I was interested in the characters but it took pages to learn a micro-fact about them. I tried and tried to get through this book. I didn't finish.

    • hush, hush
      by Becca Fitzpatrick
      • Why it and it's successors are banned: I muscled my way through this book. Although, I was intrigued by a few characters, the book was so slow. So slow. I didn't feel enthralled until Chapter 23. I mean, I shouldn't even remember the chapter. Also it did not help that I wanted to punch the main character's best friend each time she turned up on a page. Not good.

     So, as of now, this list only has 2 series on it.
    That is pretty darn good.
    But that isn't to say that it won't be added to someday.
    For the sake of the author-world,
    I hope it isn't anytime soon.

    my heart could have written this...

    you,
    when you called me last night my heart skipped a beat and my stomach filled with butterflies and when you said hello i could barely keep myself from sighing out loud and when you told me about your day i laughed so hard i almost fell off my bed and when you told me you loved my laugh i smiled so much my cheeks hurt and when we said goodbye i missed you immediately and now there’s nothing i want to do more in the world right now than kiss you.

    Omegle: A Mildly Creepy Timesuck

    O, Omegle.
    Such a interesting concept.
    Such a time-suck.
    And sometimes sooooo creepy!

    This is what Wikipedia has to say about Omegle:
    Omegle is a website used for talking to strangers and "meeting new friends" via chat. The site was created by 18-year old Leif K-Brooks of Brattleboro, Vermont and was launched on March 25, 2009.

    What Omegle says about Omegle:
    Omegle is a brand-new service for meeting new friends. When you use Omegle, we pick another user at random and let you have a one-on-one chat with each other. Chats are completely anonymous, although there is nothing to stop you from revealing personal details if you would like.

    How Omegle works:
    The service randomly pairs up users online into one-on-one chat windows, where they can chat anonymously using the handles "You" and "Stranger". Either party can disconnect at any time.


    Every once in a while
    (when I am super bored)
    I go on Omegle...

    Tonight I started chatting with the intent of deciding what movie I should snuggle into be with...

    Sometimes results are creepers:

    Sometimes results are swell conversationalists:

    But mostly, I still have not idea what movie I am going to fall asleep to...

    Some Twitter Conversations are BOMB.com

    Sometimes on Twitter, amazing conversations with multiple people happen.
    This is one such case- between some blogger friends and myself.
    I just HAD to document it!
    Please enjoy!


    [for the sake of link-sanity I had to un-link Twitter and re-tink names as their blogs, but mine remains Twitter]


    kate_mi @alexandriacadyh I loved your state!! I've now been to San Diego, San Fransisco and L.A.! I think San Fran is my favorite.

    KatOfDiamonds I ♥ her state too! I think Cali-rado would be perfect! RT @kate_mi @alexandriacadyh I loved your state!! I've now been to SD, SF and L.A.!



    kate_mi @KatOfDiamonds That's amazing, let's move to Cali-rado!


    KatOfDiamonds #lovesit @alexandriacadyh RT @kate_mi @KatOfDiamonds That's amazing, let's move to Cali-rado!

    alexandriacadyh
    @kate_mi Come to San Fran I am only a few hours away!!

    kate_mi @alexandriacadyh I will come ASAP. I would love to be back there!


    alexandriacadyh @KatOfDiamonds @kate_mi Ooh I could never leave California...ya know unless I marry @Nanti_SARRMM and move to Utah ;)! lol


    KatOfDiamonds um... Dear @alexandriacadyh... Cali-rado is a fictional place. Kinda like marrying Edward Cullen #gasp! ;o) @kate_mi

    alexandriacadyh @KatOfDiamonds bahaha! I know that...but even then I could never even fictionally agree to move there. I have to represent!

    alexandriacadyh  @KatOfDiamonds Also, I will marry Edward Cullen. Not fiction. #truth

    KatOfDiamonds
    @alexandriacadyh Ahhh! Does.Not.Compute!!!! Have you ever BEEN to Colorado?! lol


    alexandriacadyh
     
    @KatOfDiamonds No I haven't!

    KatOfDiamonds
    I was just telling @sarahFIERCE earlier, I feel my heart is split three ways: Colorado, the beach & London *le sigh*


    KatOfDiamonds
    I've thought Cali-rado would have made a great state since age 2. I am happy to have @kate_mi who understands the dilemma!



    kate_mi @KatOfDiamonds I do think Cali-rado would be perfection! Couldn't you hypothetically move there with us @alexandriacadyh (since it's fake)?

    alexandriacadyh
    @KatOfDiamonds Okay I am an idiot. I get it. lol

    alexandriacadyh  @KatOfDiamonds @kate_mi Got it! Yes let's move!


    KatOfDiamonds @alexandriacadyh was it the confusing California + Colorado = Cali-rado formula ;o) #iheartyoumuchos


    alexandriacadyh @KatOfDiamonds I think it was because I was texting and tweeting at the same time. I get confused...lol




    So basically I feel that is one of the best Twitter conversations amongst bloggers that has probably ever existed. I dare you to disagree... but please dont! ;o)


    Also in honor of this conversation I made this graphic:

    yep.
