Whoops

Hey guys, so this is gonna be my last post on this blog.

You probably thought I had left already anyhow, seeing as it's been 6 months, but oh well.

I'm graduating this blog, and retiring on to a blog that better reflects how I want to write and what I want to write about. I think I've out grown the tye-dye :)

Anyways, if you're interested in something a little more philosophical, here's my new blog: http://oliviaventing.wordpress.com/

If not, looks like this is the end. It was fun guys. Thanks for sticking with me

Oh the humanity

Greetings earthlings,

     So currently I'm stuck at my mother's office. It sucks. I'm just kind of sitting on the ground awkwardly. I can't figure out how to turn off my mother's radio and PHILL COLLINS WILL NOT SHUT UP.

     Also tea here costs one dollar a cup. ONE DOLLAR. A CUP. and I'm broke! Plus the cups are really tiny. I bought myself one and I still want tea but I'm too cheap to get another cup.

     I had to set up a vacuum player because I spilt some food and they had never used the vacuum, that was fun (not)

     OMG WERE READY TO GO REJOICE

DFTBA

Webseries

Greetings earthlings,

     So lately I've been watching a ton of webseries and it's basically cut cable out of my life (the only reason we still have cable is because my mom can't watch Food Network anywhere else). So to start out the revival of the blog I thought I would tell you all my top five favourite webseries.

     For those who don't know a webseries is like any television show except for the episodes are much shorter (three to ten minutes for most) and air anywhere from twice a week to twice a month on the internet, most commonly Youtube. The thing I love about webseries is although the episodes are shorter, they air more often and don't use huge Hollywood actors, so the actors are very involved in the community surrounding the show and the fans are supportive and usually pretty crazy.

     And now without further ado, my top five favourite webseries!

5. SquaresVille

Summary: So SquaresVille is a webseries about two girls named Zelda and Esther and their adventures through the town of SquaresVille. The place they live is very boring and they're always seeking adventure.

High Points: Great acting, witty punch lines and nice scenery

Low Points: Slow moving story plot and infrequent posting

4. Job Hunters

Summary: Story takes place in a dystopian future where after university the population of the earth is required to fight in an arena (possibly to the death) until they receive a job offer, or die. When they are not fighting in the arena they stay in safe houses and are forced to get along.

High Points: beautiful scenery, funny story line, KRISTINA HORNER

Low Points: posts only every two weeks, very similar to the Hunger Games

3. Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog
(technically this is cheating because it ended in 2008 but whatever)

Summary: Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog is basically amazing (the only reason it's not number one on my list is because it isn't airing episodes anymore) it's about a failing evil villain ( Neil Patrick Harris) who is constantly foiled by Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion) and all he wants is to join the evil league of evil and impress Penny (Felicia Day)

High points: story plot, the cast, plot twists galore, humorous

Low points: NO MORE EPISODES

4. Lizzie Bennet Diaries
(it was really hard to choose between this and the number one)

Summary: The Lizzie Bennet Diaries is a take on Pride and Prejudice I which Elizabeth Bennet is a video blogger living at home with her mon and Bing Lee and Darcy just moved into Netherlands next store

High Points: produced by Hank Green, witty, high production value

Low Points: Elizabeth is portrayed as moody and THEY WILL NOT SHOW US DARCY

1. The Guild

Summary: a group of online gamer buddies start trying to bond in real life, and it's hilarious

High points: FELICIA DAY, relatable, very funny, high production value

Low Points: literally nothing

And there you have it! Hope you guys liked this, I highly suggest you check out all of these shows and let me know if you want more of these :)

DFTBA

PS: honourable mention to VGHS fit it's amazing production value



Going places

Greetings earthlings,

     UPDATE TIME! So The rest of my summer is pretty jam packed and I just wanted to update you on where I'll be, yay!

     So this weekend I'm travelling to Toronto to visit the famjam. My cousins are coming from Switzerland so it's pretty exciting, I think we're going to Canada's Wonderland. That's gonna be great (But also probably remind me of Band Trip and make me sad)

     Directly after Toronto I will be going to sleep away camp! Yay! This year a lot of us are going, so I'll be seeing Alicia, Emma, Celeste, Natasha and Owen, which is going to be great :) I'll probably do a blog post about that when I return.

     For those who are unaware of the camp I speak of, I'll be going to Camp Iawah, which is this amazing overnight camp which involves knee boarding and arts and crafts and high ropes (being suspended in mid air and travelling across a rope attached to two trees, kind of like tight rope walking but with a harness) and other amazing activities. Plus the food is AMAZING and they have gluten-free options for every meal. I think the theme this year (they have a theme for every session) is The Hunger Games, it's gonna be great :) (Although I'm kind of freaking out over what the night game is going to be!)

     Anyways I have to pack for IAWAH now (woo!) so I'll talk to you guys later, don't miss me too much :)

DFTBA

Back at it :)

Greetings earthlings,

     So I've decided to start blogging again. Not everyday I don't think, but because I find it hard to find a place to express myself these days without harsh comments or feedback I wanted to start it up again :) You guys are so good to me, thanks for sticking around.

     I'm giving this page a face lift so it might look a bit different, hope ya don't mind :)

     Well that's all for now, I just wanted to let you guys know of my return, sorry my break lasted so long. I'm excited to get started again!

DFTBA
Olivia :)

Explanation Time!

Greetings earthlings,

     So as you might have noticed at this point - this blog is pretty much dead. 

     Sorry about that.

     Yeah, so this is pretty well my farewell post to all of you lovely readers. It's been fun, but honestly blogging is insanely difficult to do once you've run out of ideas, so that's why I'm done.

     Don't start crying or anything, you may still see the occasional post from me :) I'll probably post any exciting things happening in my life and what not, so check back sometimes. And I'll leave this blog up (I'm not deleting it or anything!) in case any of you want to reflect on the good old days and read some of my old posts (I have over 100!) 

     And this isn't the end! I am still very connected to the internet if you want to drop in for a hello!
