Currently listening to: Last Friday Night (TGIF) by Katy Perry
It's now 2:40AM. I'm moving into college in about 12 hours.
I look in my closet and the emptiness parallels the emptiness in my stomach. I look over at my little sister next to me, sleeping. I'm going to have to leave her in 12 hours. I'm dreading this. My sister reminds me of Prim from the Hunger Games. She cares about animals, she's lovable to everyone, she's brave, she's strong...she has an ambition to be a doctor. Leaving her is going to be so hard.
This room that I've come to love this summer, I'm going to have to leave this too. I even redecorated my walls because I was bored earlier this week. I pinned up a boss Zefron t-shirt that my sister gave me. She's never going to wear it haha.
Yes, I'm very excited to leave. I'm excited to meet potential nerdfighters? I'm excited to meet new and interesting people. I'm excited to learn and delve into my love of filmmaking in a more interesting and professional way. I'm excited to be surrounded by people who actually care about learning this stuff. I'm excited for the independence. But leaving this safe haven...this retreat of comforting shelter which provided me guidance whenever I need it...this place that I'm used to...this place that I grew up in...for such a prolonged period of time...it's going to be very hard.
No, I'm not leaving forever. Yes, I'll be back for Thanksgiving and Christmas. No, it's not going to be the same.

BEDA.11 - First Few Steps
Healthy snack choice of the day: Watermelon cuts
Active choice of the day: Took a walk with my sister
Guilty pleasure of the day: Triple Chocolate Meltdown at Applebees
BUT I shared the Meltdown with two other friends. So it's not that guilty hehe.
Taking the first few steps into my weight goal journey is really hard. I never really realized the amount of times in a day that I would get hungry, walk over to my kitchen, and grab something to eat. These past few days, I had to stop myself so many times.
Stopping yourself from eating something yummy is really hard. But I learned this thing where you would have to flip your brain into thinking that this certain food isn't really worth it. For example, I'm craving Ice Cream. Will having this time of eating this delicious ice cream make me happy? Or will having more confidence and an easier more healthy lifestyle make me happy? Think that way, and the ice cream won't find its way in your mouth.
Today I had the most imponderable joy of hanging out with some IRL friends. The last time I saw these girls was on graduation...two months ago! The first half of summer, I was completely grounded from everything because I did something really horrible. I wasn't allowed to hang out with friends or anything. It was really hard because I've never been grounded IN MY LIFE.
So seeing these lovely girls was GREAT. We caught up on inside jokes and memories we had during our high school career. It was a bit weird though. None of them are crazy Harry Potter fans (only one of the chicks read the books) and only of couple of them even know about my YouTube channel. I lead a double life and it's really weird. I'll write more about it tomorrow. This blog's getting lawngggg.
I don't have much more to talk about, but I do know that I really miss the EFAO chat. It's been super duper inactive lately :(
And now I leave you with a really old, 7 second video that I made.

BEDA.8 - Whale
Currently listening to: What I've Done by Linkin Park (Transformers Soundtrack)
As I laid lazily on my slightly uncomfortable couch, I stressed because my extremely difficult task of reaching for the remote deemed unsuccessful. Huffing in defeat, I munched on a sour cream and onion chip and settled for the Disney Channel show that was originally on, Jonas L.A. Watching this show of rich kids, girls falling in love with their best friends, and tedious actions of cute lovey-dovey boyfriend and girlfriend togetherness, I "hmph'd" in jealousy, wishing I had these girls fit bodies.
Let's face it, I'm overweight. Living life day by day feeling like a whale releases excess amounts of stress hormones to my brain and I end up feeling sick and bad. I try to forget about it by thinking about other things, reading a Harry Potter book, or, worst of all, eating.
I have to change this. I have a sense of style that I can't necessarily bring out because of my body. I want to dress up in different and exciting ways, but I can't because I can't fit in them. I want to go out with my friends and feel confident, but there's always something holding me back because I feel so self conscious. I want to run around and get all wacky without feeling this self conscious. I want to live life without having to have my weight in the back of my mind all the time. It's just...everything would just be so much easier.
So no, I'm not going on some crash diet. In the past, I've seen a nutritionist, so I am very well educated in the proper and healthy ways of eating. I also know so many different ways of working out. So I'm going to do something about this. From now on, I'll be blogging about my journey to my weight loss. Schedules, food logs, the whole SHABANG. Yes, I'll blog about other things, but I'll post my achievements to date.
Oh! And readers, please PLEASE don't comment saying "You're not fat!" yatta yatta. I get very humbled and thankful when people say this. But all I need right now is your support. So just leave words of encouragement. Believe that I can do this.
I believe that blogging about this will help a lot. I know if I start doing something about it, I'll end up forgetting and not caring. So blogging about it will definitely help.
And now I leave you with some old pictures of my car from the last days of High School:
Yes, that says "Pigfarts, here I come." And the bear paw? We were the Home of the Bears.
Which reminds me of this lovely video:

BEDA.7 - Productivity
WHY? Why do I ALWAYS leave my blogs last minute. I mean this literally. It's currently 11:55pm WTF
okay so today, I biked around the city with my family for this thing called "Summer Streets." Transit shuts down about five miles of roads just for the use of biking, jogging, rollerblading, and more. The roads are blocked from all cars. It was amazing and liberating to have so much room just to bike!
There were free stuff EVERYWHERE too! I got ten million bags of Pirates Booty (MY FAVORITE SNACK (11:57pm AHHH), buncha yogurt and more. They even have different stations where you get free water, free safety equipment (helmets), bike valet parking (yes, bike valet parking. You check in your bike, they will watch over it for you and make sure no one steals it. It was AWESOME (11:58 WTF)
Yeah. I'm done. And now I leave you with....GAH i have no more time

BEDA.5 - CHEESESTICK
Currently listening to: nothing
I haven't been sleeping a lot lately. So yesterday and last night I had a HUMONGO REM rebound. (REM rebound is when your body takes one night to catch up on all the sleep you weren't able to get during the week)
Not good. Because you end up missing YouTube videos, over 800 messages on a chat, catching up on TV shows, reading blogs, and WRITING BLOGS
UGH. The month just started! and I already missed a day? Stupid sleep.
Ah, I just looked over at the clock and realized that I have 6 minutes left to write this blog. Why do I always resort to procrastination?
So, fellow readers, what's you're favorite word? Because I like the word "cheesestick." I don't know why. It sounds kinda cool. AND it tends to add some kind of kick to awkward situations, ya know? (11:56pm AHH)
And I will now leave you with a video I made on an awesome collab channel called "Nerdfighterratio." My stupid self didn't live up to the potential that all the people in this awesome channel have. But I tried:

BEDA.3 - IN A RUSH
Currently watching: If You Really Knew Me
It's currently 11:53pm. I have 7 minutes left for todays BEDA vlog. crap
So today, all I did was watch the first season of Buffy. I have a couple of episodes left and I (11:54pm) can't wait to get caught up on more episodes. It's so witty and funny and suspenseful!! I love it!
11:55pm
I wonder what people feel about the nerdfighter/youtube community. Because I've recently encountered a person who doesn't like it very much. She thinks that the YouTube celebs have high egos and the Nerdfigter community is an internet cult thing (11:56pm) I love this community so much! It's filled with so many people who feel the same as me and we all, ironically, love Harry Potter. I can't imagine (11:57pm) life without this online community. It's so awesome.
I've decided to start working out. I wanna get off my ass and do something productive. WHO'S WITH ME!? Tomorrow, I'm gonna wake up early to jog. (11:58pm)
and here's a picture of me with my sister. I love her a lot:

BEDA.2 - Take a deep breath
Currently listening to: nothing
As I take some time away from talking to my potter buddies via skype, let's reflect on the frequent happenings of Kristine's life, shall we?
Soooo, wanna know something funny? While all the slutty girls around town are worrying about whether or not they still hold a "popular status" - therefore, doing horrible things like drinking to stupidity, buying countless amounts of overpriced clothing, and shunning everyone out who doesn't wear foundation - I'm worrying if my extremely nerdy friends will spoil me on the fate of the tenth doctor in The End of Time.
No, I confess, I have not watched it yet. Yes, I confess, I feel like a fool. But isn't it fascinating how I'm worried about this? I'm worried about fitting in with my nerdy friends. and I LIKE IT. The great thing about this whole situation is that, no matter what, watcher of all Doctor Who episodes or not, my nerd friends will still accept me. I love them all for that.
Watching shows like "If you really knew me," I've come to learn that a lot of girls these days need to constantly be told that they're pretty or need to constantly do mean things to others in order to fit in with their popular friends. If they fail to do so, they're OUT of the "in crowd." That, my fellow readers, is not friendship. That is an example of snakey...slytherin....BULL CRAP. Only Voldemort would approve. Luckily in my case, if I haven't seen The End of Time or didn't watch Wheezywaiter's last vlog yet, my friends would never shun me. And I love them all for that.
These awesome people accept me for who I am. I accept them for who they are. And we all always end up having a kick ass time.
So, readers, I'm assuming you are all my nerd friends right? So, sit up straight. Go ahead! Sit up straight. Take a deeeeeeep breath. As you exhale, think about the awesomeness that your life entails. I like to do this after talking with you guys. Because having you as friends make me feel so happy.
As a recent graduate of High School, I always know that I'll never see snotty little jerks who call Harry Potter "gay" ever again. Being friends with you guys make me not care about those jerks anymore. Take a deep breath again, and remember that I love you all. A lot. <3
And here's the greatest video ever made, made by one schmexy Canadian - Alex Dahlberg aka Kira902k a sexy god:

BEDA.1 - Oh College
Currently listening to: Do You Like Me by ALL CAPS
I'm 18 years old. It's summer. I'M MOVING FOR COLLEGE IN 28 DAYS.
Today, my family and I went a bit dorm shopping. I can't wait to decorate my dorm room and freak out my room mate because of all the harry potter posters and cardboard cut outs. ahh it's gonna be amazing.
Once I move, I'LL BE FREE AS A BIRD. No more "time to go to bed Kristine." Honestly, like I mentioned earlier, I'M 18 YEARS OLD. Do I STILL need to be told when to go to bed!?
I recently got out of being grounded. The whole beginning of summer, I was grounded because of a speeding ticket. I wasn't allowed to hang out with ANY OF MY FRIENDS, drive anywhere leisurely, and more. It sucked so bad.
This is why I can't wait to leave. I'm moving to a school that's a 45 minute train ride away from the city. I'll be chillin with my potter buddies there WHENEVER I WANT TO! AND the new york city wizard rock fest is gonna be killer. Oh yeah, and studying film and ONLY FILM. Ugh that's gonna be so much fun. I can't wait any longer.
And here's a picture of someone I love dearly: Kara Sabbagh. I don't know what I'd do without her. Enjoy :D
