So I just got Twitter, and I have to say I'm kind of fascinated by it. I don't really know why, I mean, it's just a website that basically took the idea of the Facebook status and made that the exclusive purpose, but it's still so awesome! It's sort of addicting and I have to stop myself from tweeting like every two seconds. NO ONE needs to know THAT much about my life. :D

Anyhoo, Thank you to everyone for the Happy Birthday wishes. I know it's a little late, but I really appreciated them. They made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Welp, I'm off to bed. Babysitting is hard work!

Well, I'll have been a successful actor for a couple of years. I'll be able to support myself financially, and will hopefully be a little more stylish than I am right now. I am going to have met the love of my life and will be slim and healthy.
So go my dreams!

It's also oddly Rocky Carroll's birthday today! How ironic. Two actors on the same show with the same birthday? Strange... Anyhoo, here comes the birthday song:I totally love him! His blog entries MAKE MY DAY!!! Even though I'm not sure about Vance yet, Rocky Carroll ROCKS MY SOCKS!!!

A message to Michael Weatherly, the greatest Brooks alum EVER!:
He truly is one of the best actors ever!

Well this summer vacation has been kind of a drag so far. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm excited I don't have to go to school for the next, well, by now two months, but this weather is killing me! It's been raining or at least "drizzling" for pretty much the past month. According to my dad we have had three sunny days in June. Yeah, this is a little bit concerning to me. Oh well, as long as we get our lovely summer weather by July (which I think we're supposed to), I'll be okay.

Speaking of July, I just found out I am going to be in a car for 5+ hours ON MY BIRTHDAY. I don't know why, but my birthday has always kind of been the holiday for me where I just go "okay. I'm doing what I want today." Sitting in a car with my dad for hours? Not my idea of fun. Of course, it will all be worth it when we arrive on the (hopefully) sunny beaches of Maine, so that's the thought that's getting me through the idea of the torture.

So yeah, basically the story of my life is this: When it rains for a whole month pretty much without stopping, it gives you a whole new appreciation for warmth and sun. I'm just hoping we have those two things for vacation week (and the 4th of July would be nice too). If that happens, my life will be complete

Chao!

So as we go into this lovely time of year, I'm currently watching various episodes of various TV shows about twenty million times. I've been watching Castle, which kind of reminds me of what would happen if Tony and Ziva from NCIS had their own spinoff...and Tony were a writer...hmm...that doesn't really work, but still! You catch my drift. Speaking of Tony and Ziva from NCIS, I have been watching almost all of season six with the exception of Aliyah (because I'm denying that even happened). I've also been watching a lot of season 3. I wanted to watch Kill Ari pt. 1 and 2 the other day (Ziva's first episodes!), but sadly, I discovered that disks 1, 2, and 5 of my season three DVDs are missing. And I have a grand total of 17 cents on my iTunes account. sigh*

Anyhoo, that's really all I've been doing. Watching repeats and looking forward to NCIS, Castle, and Glee in the fall. Well, I guess repeat season is what fanfiction is for, right? :D

Love ya'll

Why do long weekends go by so quickly? I had three whole days off this weekend as opposed to my usual one, and yet it really doesn't feel like more than two. That could be because I was at a party all day yesterday, therefore not really able to do much but chill, hang out, and record episodes of the internet show I'm in with my sister Maddie. It was a little slow at first, considering I have like next to NO space left on my laptop, but eventually we got it going, and had a lot of fun! Okay, I know, I'm weird, but the annual Memorial Day cookout is always extremely entertaining, whether you're making YouTube videos or jumping over fences and watching your sister get stuck.

Anyway, sadly I have to go back to school tomorrow. Just one week until exams! AHHHHHH!!! I'm kind of freaking out, but on the plus side I have a new binder so my OCD self can be all nice and organized come exam time. Well, I better get back to writing now, even though that's all I'll be doing this summer (cause I totally have a life).

Chao!

This has been my facebook/IM status for the past few days. Aliyah completely scared the crap out of me, and if I didn't trust Shane Brennan (cause he did bring the team back last year), I might actually have lost it. Just seeing Gibbs completely abandon his own daughter (cause that's basically what she is) in the middle of the airport was heartbreaking. I was actually sitting on my couch crying, and my parents were whispering about taking me to a psychiatrist.

Kay, just thought I'd pop in and share my thoughts for like two seconds. I love you all!

So, now that it's been forever and a day AGAIN... what's up with anyone who reads this? I am sooo looking forward to summer. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm one of those weird crazy people that actually LIKES school, but I'm just soo ready for a break. So you know that updating fanfiction thing I was talking about in the last entry? Yeah....that kinda sorta didn't happen....ANYWAY, summer's just around the corner (May for me), and we're finally getting some nice, not rainy weather here in new england.

On another note, a bunch of African exchange students have recently arrived at my school. We have kids from Kenya, Botswana, and Uganda. I've really only talked to the two from Uganda, but they are two of the nicest people I have EVER met in my life. One of them is in my advisory, and I'm pretty sure he's like legally a musical prodigy. He can play pretty much EVERY instrument known to man, and he can play it well. Connie, the girl, is on my softball team. We had our first game this past Friday and we won!! Actually, it was a miracle. We were down 12-2 and then we came back to win 17-16. It was soooo awesome!!! I pitched a complete game, and even though my arm is currently hurting like heck, it was sooo worth it. I had a blast! 

Finally, I'm so sorry I haven't written anything in so long. I seriously have been incredibly busy with school and other stuff. I literally just have enough time to get on, check my email, then get off again. So sorry!!

xox,
Erika

Ok, so now that I haven't POSTED in like two months, I'm finally back! I am currently on vacation (thank you god)! And am looking forward to HOPEFULLY getting some fanfiction written. I updated one of my fics but like no one's reviewing...hmm....anyway, now that i've vented about that, my sleeping habits have been REEEEAAALLY off. It's weird. I woke up at 8:30 the other day and was like weird...that's kinda late for me. And then @ around 10:30 I was watching TV, which makes me kinda drowsy and then I figured I'd take like a half an hour nap or something. Then, I wake up and look at the clock and it's 1:00!!! AHHH!! ok, I really don't know where I'm going with this entry sooo ya.
Later!

 So, as you can see, exams didn't quite kill me. I'm still alive to see Love and War (THANK YOU GOD!). I'm sososososososososo excited! We're finally going to get some Tiva! Sorry, I've just been having Tiva withdrawl symptoms, and soon they'll be over. Soooo yay!

 So I'm sitting here trying not to think about how close exams are getting. I have one more day of freedom before my impending doom. But seriously, I just realized the other day that if you take the word STUDYING and separate it, you get STUDENT and DYING. I mean, come on! That has to be a sign! sigh* Well I guess I better go get to work....although I really don't want to.

 Ok, so I OFFICIALLY LOVED Broken Bird. I mean, sure, there was only like one little tiny Tiva thing...if you squinted, but as an episode it was awesome! It was soooo fast paced and it was just sooo cool! I felt bad for Ducky though, I almost cried at the end, and I NEVER cry during movies, TV shows, etc. The only other thing I came that close to crying in was RENT at Angel's funeral.

Well, anyway, I LOVED it! Just soooo awesome! And it was about time we got a Ducky centric episode! Now I'm just waiting for the Ziva centric episode where we find out about this Michael Rivkin of hers...oh, and the episode where Tony and Ziva hook up. But other than that, I am one very satisfied NCIS fan.

 Sooo I watched Caged. I liked it, but there wasn't too much Tiva...kind of disappointing, but as an episode it was great! Next weeks looks really good, but would Ducky really kill somebody?? I don't think so, he's just too....Ducky. And I hate the fact that he gets hurt. Ima hurt whoever did it...even though she thinks he killed her brother, but still...

Anyway, I'm back at school now. Exams are coming up soon...which scares me! I'm like, seriously freaking out, especially cause I've heard horror stories from last year. I'll be happy when they're all over and I'll actually know what I'm doing next time. sigh*

I'm really hoping for a Tiva kiss this season.  A little reward for me getting through the transition into high school. Pleeeease? Shane Brennan you love me right??? Ok, so maybe that's pushing it a little bit...but still!

Ok, so I just recently bought the season 6 pass for NCIS on iTunes. It took them awhile, but they finally came out with it! I was so incredibly excited! Thankfully I had like 72 dollars in iTunes gift cards from the Holidays. So I splurged. It was expensive, and it made my parents think I was even crazier than I already am, but it was worth it. Needless to say, I'm been watching it pretty much non-stop. Although, I have to admit, I did have to stop watching Murder 2.0 cause it was like, well, midnight and I was getting kind of freaked out. I mean, those videos were seriously creepy! ANYWAY, that's my little dish for now! I go back to school on Wednesday :( sigh* vacations go by so fast, don't they? I mean, it feels like just yesterday I was sitting in the auditorium at my school singing Christmas carols and watching the prefects act out "How the Grinch Stole Christmas: The Brooks Version". I still find it weird that I go to the same high school Michael Weatherly went to. I mean, we found that out while I was on my interview there and my mom was like "yep! Taylor's going here!" It made me laugh :D

Either way I'm a very happy girl lately. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is exams *shudders*. Apparently last year, my physics teacher made the exam so long no one finished, even with a half an hour extension. Even when he scaled them the class average was STILL a 75. And I did really bad on my last test sooo eep! sigh* Anyway, hope everyone enjoys the rest of their vacations!

Love always,
xo-Erika-xo

Ok, so I've basically spent my day sitting here trying to get over my FanFiction writer's block. I start to write something and then I get sidetracked cause I'm watching NCIS at the same time! And then add my book into the mix and you've got CHAOS!! Don't you love that word? I don't know why but I really like that word. Speaking of which, one time I was playing this game with my parents. It's basically like charades only a little different. It's like the game gives you a word and you have to act it out in 30 seconds. If you get one word right you go do a double or nothing kind of thing. ANYWAY, it was my turn to act and my team was down by like one. So the first word was like Rabbit or something, so it was no problem, but then the next word it gave me was chaos. CHAOS!!! How the heck do you act out CHAOS. sigh*

So back to the NCIS thing. I updated my fic After Hours twice the other day. It made me very proud. Here's the link: www.fanfiction.net/s/4404529/1/After_Hours  Anyway, I'm still stuck with Unexpected Introductions, which stinks cause I think it's like my most popular fic. sigh*. Well, anyway, I hope everyone's day is going good.

Oh! I'm finally working on my first NCIS team vid (on YouTube). I feel very proud, cause I've been doing lots and lots of Tiva lately. Sooo ya! Story of My Life.

 Ok, I saw a scene from it on the CBS website, and it looks pretty good. McGee gets a date. That's all good for him and everything, I mean, I love McGee, but what about TIVA??!?!?! 

Gosh, I really hope they hook up this season. I mean, come on! It's about time!
