I REALLY screwed up my pattern, haha. :P
So...what's been going on since September? I'll fill you in in sentence fragments that won't make sense to anyone but those directly involved:
1. Person Profile = meeting Derek = shoo-in for Vocalign next semester!
2. COMING OUT WEEK! :D
3. "She licks me at night."
4. Extreme creepin' = "Come clooooser!"
5. Dressing like dorks two days in a row.
6. Homecoming.
7. Tripping up risers (they'll murder me eventually).
8. SMeyer bashing with Lauren
9. The Virgin Mary Had a Baby Boy --> OH YEAH.
10. Cosmo..."Kool-Aid Man? Really?"
11. Rock Band amazingness.
12. "You're an asshole."
13. "I don't think it's common practice to cut off little boys' balls anymore."
14. "I lost my ID card in Leffler..." "No, we don't have it." - ONE HOUR LATER. - "Oh, by the way, we have your ID card."
15. Roommate lovin'. :)
Yeah, basically, it's been pretty crazy. Today was the first day I didn't take/need a nap. It was awesome. It was also probably because I actually went to bed before the sunrise. :P
Post questions in the comments and I MIGHT elaborate on all this.

I messed up my pattern. Damn it.
Oh well.
Quick update (even though you probably know most of this from the vlogs):
1. Nerf Gun wars
2. Team-making = not me!
3. Piano = slow suicide
4. Random hour-long conversations with Lauren at dinner
5. Planning to see John and Hank Green at a Nerdfighter convention
6. Wizard rock!
7. Awesome roommate
8. Awesome roommate acquiring notsome boyfriend. :(
9. Sheetz runs at 4 AM
10. Gossip Girl parties every Monday
11. Watching Princess Bride (right now)
12. Making fun of DeWitt(less) after (and sometimes during) choir
13. Being part of Hot and Dreamy Horny Dinosaurs
14. Having awesome friends like Jackie, Sam, Joe, and Elisabeth. My framily. :)
I had this randomly awesome conversation with Lauren today at dinner. We sat in the caf for, like, an hour...not eating. She's gonna take me to a wrock concert sometime this semester. And we're going to the Yule Ball at Nina's college. And the Twilight premier/wrock concert in Jersey (hopefully with Teresa, if we can sleep on the floor of the hotel room Lauren and Nina are getting).
Also, about 45 minutes ago, my mom bought me a phone off ebay...so, hopefully, that'll come soon and I'll be able to tell what time it is again. Haha.
I don't have much more to say right now. I'm supposed to be reading "The Trouble with Africa," so...yeah.
Good night!

Day Two: EPIC FINISH
Well, okay, it's not really finished. Day two is, but we still have the rest of the week to go.
It's hard to walk right now. And stand up. And go up and down stairs (damn it, why am I am on the second floor?!). You should see me trying to crawl into my bed. Hahahaha. It's raised to about my waist and I have to swing one leg over and pull the rest of me up using the opposite side of the mattress. It's pretty epic.
Day three tomorrow! 6:30 AM practice, breakfast at 8 AM, cleaning my crap off Elisabeth's bed before she has to move in 8:30-10:30 AM, lunch at 11:30 AM, 12:30 PM practice, check-in and registration for honors students at 3:15-4:30 PM, dinner at 5:30 PM, 6:30 PM practice.
Yikes. I still have to go to the grocery store and get my ID validated. :P Yay volleyball!
At least I'll have time to recover (kind of) on Thursday. All the honors freshmen are gone all day for HOOT. Don't ask me what it stands for. But there's a ropes course involved and I'm STOKED. Jesus Camp got me all addicted to adrenaline rushes and stuff. Haha. I'm like movie!Edward now. :D
That's about it. Just wanted to give you west coast people an update. ;D
If you want more information on how I am, go watch my vlog!

And the winner is...Stephenie Meyer!
Soooo much to talk about!!!
But first...
SPOILER WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, a few of my Breaking Dawn predictions came true, but I was still completely surprised by a LOT of things. Like, you know, Edward actually producing sperm. I'm still trying to figure that one out. I'm thinking it has to do with sperm not actually being a bodily fluid. I'll have to find out from Stephenie, of course, because it really confused me when Bella got preggers.
But anyways, I LOVED the beginning! Edward and Bella's wedding was amazing--until Jacob showed up, of course--and even Rosalie was helping Bella get ready. It was very well done. Like, there was detail, but not too much because, from Bella's point of view, all the emotions were creating a haze around her.
Now, the honeymoon....It's hard to describe how I feel about it. I'm still confused, of course. But more than that, I'm a little pissed. There was not ONE detail. It was always, "And pulled us gently into deeper water..." and shit like that.
We know they had sex, Stephenie, now channel Nora Roberts and GIVE IT SOME DETAIL.
Ahem. So, yeah, some of my favorite quotes came from the times right after they had sex. Like the, "I bit a pillow. Or two." I laughed hysterically at that one. It's so not Edward. And my other favorite was when they were commenting on her shredded lingerie. XD It was great.
And then came the random pregnancy. WTF. I thought Bella was going to die, and then Edward would die, and then Jacob would find out and try to kill the Cullens and start a huge war over it. It freaked me out. But when Jacob decided to become the Alpha, I knew the prospect of a werewolf vs. vampire war was out. Damn it.
Jacob's point of view was...interesting. I really enjoyed his way of thinking compared to Bella's. Jacob's so sarcastic and filled with blond jokes. It was funny when he wasn't stressing over the 'monster' destroying Bella.
I actually read through all that again last night and I didn't know how I'd missed the obvious. He called Bella a drug and that it was more like he was addicted to the center of her. And when Renesmee was born, he had that feeling like he had to leave the room because the pull to be with her had shifted. I SHOULD have caught that. Then maybe the end of Jacob's POV wouldn't have surprised and disgusted me so much. I mean, now I can't make fun of Quil. His soul mate might be only two years old, but at least she's fully human. God, Jacob, couldn't you have imprinted on the girl in the park at least?
Oh well. The Aston Martin was in the book, so I can't really complain about Jacob's choice of soul mate.
So, I kinda ruined the end of book 2 for myself. Jacob thought Bella was dead, but I'd already looked ahead and seen that book 3 was from Bella's point of view. So I knew she lived.
Damn me and my curiosity.
But book 3 was probably one of the best. Bella finally became a vampire! And Emmett's sex jokes were possibly the funniest thing I've ever read. Oh, Emmett. You gotta love that kid.
And Jasper! Holy crap! When Charlie was coming to visit and Bella and Jasper kept going back and forth, I just started cracking up!
'We'd have all night...
"Bella."
"Sorry Jasper."'
Omg. Perfect.
None of the other Twilight books made me cry. Well, okay, I might have cried a little when Edward left in New Moon. But that was more pity for myself than for Bella. But in Breaking Dawn, I really cried. Only once. It was during the scene in the clearing with the Volturi. Everyone was saying goodbye.
It hit kinda close to home. In exactly one week, I'll have to do the same thing. Say goodbye to everyone I know and love on the west coast. In the book, it was a permanent goodbye, I know, but it still impacted me. Seriously. I was sobbing. It started right when she told Renesmee she loved her and explained to Jacob what they had to do if a fight broke out. It just seemed so real to me--that feeling of never seeing someone you love ever again. And I could imagine it from Bella's point of view, too. She was giving up her child. 'More than my own life.'
So sad.
But at least it had a happy ending. I mean, really. Only the best books end with implied sex. Note the word 'IMPLIED.' >:|
I believe my exact words, when she glossed over the sex every time, were, "Fuckin' Stephenie fuckin' Meyer! Fuckin' fuck fuck!"
Ask Reesa. I said it every time. That's how she knew Edward and Bella were going to get it on again. Because I would have a hissy fit every time. :P
We didn't even get detail on how Edward looked naked. Jeez! All we got was that he was gorgeous naked! And that he's a horny bastard! Gahhhhhhhhhhh!!!
I'm done now. I guess I'll have to total my score...see what I was right or wrong about when I was making predictions. =/ It's so sad that it's over...but I still have many things to figure out, I guess. That'll take some time.

Blog Post 3: Breaking Dawn Predictions
I know Lucy won't understand this, but this is mainly for me so I can get all my thoughts out.
Breaking Dawn Predictions:
#1:
After the wedding, Edward and Bella get it on. Meyer won't put in much detail because then the book would be shelved as an adult romance novel instead of a young adult romance novel. Which sucks because I want detail of just how stunningly sexy Edward is naked.
#2:
While Edward and Bella are on their honeymoon, the rest of the Cullens move away from Forks so they don't break the treaty.
#3:
Edward bites Bella before Jacob can stop it from happening. [Insert epic battle between Edward and Jacob] Bella stops them before they kill each other and Jacob runs away again because Bella's a bloodsucker. While running, he imprints on someone.
#4:
Once a vampire, Bella struggles to remain herself instead of a blood-sucking fiend. Edward helps her.
#5:
Enter the Volturi. [Insert general epic-ness that answers the question of why the Volturi's skin is so papery]
#6:
The entire book will be epic and will end happily forever after with Edward and Bella, and Jacob and some other girl. :D
I'm hoping the werewolves and vampires go at it at some point. Edward breaks the treaty, but if the Cullens move away...plus, Seth is friends with Edward and Jacob's in love with Bella...so...I dunno. Something will happen. An impasse. Hopefully.
That's all for today! I'll wait until August 4th to say if my predictions come true. :)

PS - I'm done for this month! *wipes sweat off brow*

Blog Post 2: Parties at Midnight
There's one more after this, so hold onto your horses. Karaline is FAR from being done.
Tomorrow night is the Breaking Dawn release party. It seems strange to me that this time last year, I was still hyped up about Deathly Hallows. It's also strange that just over one month ago, I picked up Twilight and New Moon in an act of rebellion and boredom and ended up falling in love. One month.
For Harry Potter, it took me four books and six years to fall in love. Maybe because Jo Rowling doesn't write sexy vampires into her books (I think the only vampire we ever meet in Harry Potter is the one at Slughorn's party, actually). I don't know. But it does bug me when people say Stephenie Meyer is the new JK Rowling. They're complete opposites. Rowling created an entire universe centered around this poor, unfortunate boy who has to defeat another poor, unfortunate boy who's had a lot more time to train. Meyer took a familiar setting, placed familiar people in it, and added a bit of mythology and romance.
Both of them are amazing. I love them both for giving me so many hours of entertainment and so many characters to fall in love with.
But that's about all they have in common. Good stories, good characters, good personalities, and a lot of money.
So, really. The next JK Rowling? Give me a break. There's only one JK Rowling and there will never be another.
Likewise, there's only one Stephenie Meyer and she's good enough on her own to be thought of independently from Rowling.
Back to what I was saying: Midnight Release.
Reesa just informed me today that Barnes and Noble is doing the Prom theme again. On one hand, I'm excited because I missed the Eclipse Prom. On the other hand, I'm bummed because I just finished this really amazing softball shirt that has quotes and 'Team Edward' and everything on it.
But I've made a compromise. I'm going to wear a dress UNDER my shirt. And my walking boot. Because I AM Bella. Reesa and I discussed this already.
OR, I could wear a skirt with my shirt and just have on Converse. Reesa's just wearing jeans and her shirt. But if everyone shows up wearing fancy shmancy stuff, I don't wanna feel left out.
This leads us to our next topic: How long should I wait in B&N?
Last year, I showed up around 7 and was #156 in line. And I missed everything but the costume contest (I wasn't dressed up as anyone, so that was an automatic 'no'). But still, I only waited 5 1/2 hours to get my book.
This year, we're thinking of showing up at 9:30 in the morning to get our places in line, and then coming back around 5 PM so we don't miss the discussions. Because I'm SO pumped for an Edward vs. Jacob debate. You don't even know.
Edward wins in the end. Stephenie even said so. Bella and Edward get married. Jacob doesn't stop the wedding.
But that brings me to...my next blog. :P

Blog Post 1: My Mom Got a Blog
Topic of today's post? Exactly what the title is.
Her first blog entry was a rant about what to think about before voting in November. This should be interesting. Mainly because throughout high school, I became more moderate conservative and she's ridiculously right wing. Like, hxc conservative. It's that whole thing where the youth of America are more liberal than our older counterparts. I guess it's true. High school made me see that I can't be close-minded towards other people's beliefs. I still hold true to my own, but it's not a bad thing to learn about others. It's healthy to question yourself and your beliefs every once in a while.
So, whereas I've had four years to really cement my political views, she's had thirty-something years. It would be hard to get her to change her ideals now. But mine can easily be changed. I'm still questioning myself.
Which is probably why I hate watching the news with my mom. She always comments and it seems so narrow-minded to me, that I just get irritated. I happen to love watching the Colbert Report with her because he makes fun of people like her, but she can still laugh at it.
Colbert brings politically diverse families together.
That's it for this entry. I'll have another one today. I have to keep up my pattern of 3-5-3-5-3-5. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check my archives.
