It has been a long day. I had trouble sleeping last night, and then I woke up today feeling a little sick. I don't know if I really am sick or it's just allergies. Whatever it is, my head feels congested, I can barely breath through my nose, and my throat feels kind of scratchy. It's not too bad though, and I hope it doesn't get worse.
I'm really happy tomorrow's a holiday, and there's no school. After getting no sleep last night, I really need another night to sleep in before going to school.
We had a dinner after church this morning/afternoon. It was kind of a welcome to our priest (who came a few months back) and new parishioners. I was probably there for about an hour, but I came home a bit earlier than most of the others because Ji was coming over to drop off some Friends DVDs and The Hunger Games that she had borrowed. (She didn't actually ever read The Hunger Games, which dissappoints me a bit.) We watched Daniel Radcliffe on Saturday Night Live (He was amazing, and I love the Harry Potter sketch!) and some Youtube videos before she left.
Other than that I didn't do much today. I, of course, did some homework, but that's about it. I actually got less homework done than I had been planning on because I didn't know that Ji was going to come over, and I didn't know about the dinner at church until this morning. (Well, I knew it was happening, but not that it was today.) Since I didn't get much done today, I'm also going to have to do more tomorrow than I planned on. It's not much though, so hopefuly it won't take long. I want to be able to enjoy the day off from school.

Board Games I Love
I don't play board games incredibly often. It's not because I don't enjoy playing them. I mean, I asked for two new board games for Christmas. I just don't usually have anyone willing to play them with me, or I just never even think to get them out. I haven't even played Scattergories (which I got for Christmas) yet.
Quelf is definitely one of my favorite board games. I love how crazy it is. There's no way you can play it without laughing.
Apples to Apples is another one of my favorites. I got Disney Apples to Apples for Christmas, and I love it. Adding Disney to anything only makes it better.
I have no idea how much of a board game Scene It is, but I love it as well. I have two different Harry Potter Scene It versions that I haven't played in forever. It's hard to get people to play it with you when they're not as big of a fan as you. My sister also has Friends Scene It, and I have Twilight Scene It. I like these more than the normal Scene It since I know the movies/TV shows better. I don't really know many of the movies on the normal Scene It.
Clue is another board game I love. In addition to the original Clue, I also have Harry Potter Clue. The Harry Potter edition is a lot different than the original, but I still really like it. It can be a bit confusing when you first start playing it though.
I remember that my grandma used to have a Game of Life computer game that we used to play all the time at her house. I think I played that before the actual board game. I love it as well, and I own the Twist and Turns version, which I don't like as much. The games are over in about ten minutes with that version.
My grandma, sister, and I used to play Monopoly all the time, so I have to add it. I particularly like the newer version. Plus, there are lots of different versions you can get for different fandoms and stuff. There are several I would love to play but haven't gotten to. I think I played the Disney version once, but I'm not sure.

TV Shows I Watch Over and Over
I think everyone has those TV shows that they've seen every single episode of countless times. When I was younger, I constantly had Nickelodeon or Disney on, and I'm sure I saw every episode of all of their shows a million times. The shows that I watch over and over have changed a little over the years (I haven't watched one of my Barney tapes in quite a long time), but there are a lot of shows that I've grown up watching, and I still watch all of the time.
Friends. My parents always watched Friends when it first aired, so I grew up watching it. I had to watch it every single week, and I now own almost all of the seasons on DVD (my sister owns the ones I don't). My whole family loves the show. In fact, my brother and sister watch it even more often than I do. Ji's currently borrowing half of the seasons, so we can't watch any of the later seasons at the moment. It's worth it though because Ji hadn't seen Friends much before, and it's nice that she can watch all of the awesomeness. I've heard every joke in every episode a million time, and I still find them insanely funny each time I watch them.
Avatar: The Last Airbender. Avatar, of course, is my favorite TV show of all time. I've been watching it since the first episode aired back when I was eleven. (I remember watching the first two episodes for the first time and laughing at all of the jokes...) I gathered all of the DVDs as they came out, and I rewatch the series all of the time. I have several things I do when I feel sad: read Harry Potter, watch Friends, or watch Avatar. Those are the things that never fail to make me happy. Avatar's a great show, and the episodes never get old.
Little House on the Prairie. Even though I've been reading the books since I was ten or so, it took me a bit longer to get into the TV series. I think I started watching it a year or two after reading the books. I rented some of the episodes, and then I started watching it on TVLand until they stopped showing re-runs, which made me really upset. I also watched them on Hallmark for a while, but I think they quit showing them too I'm in the process of collecting the DVDs, but there are some episodes I haven't seen in quite a long time, since I can't find a TV station that shows them anymore. (It's been a while since I checked. Maybe I should look for them again.) I've been watching the seasons that I do have on DVD though. I just love how happy this show is. Even during the sad times there's a happiness there. It's a somewhat cheesy show, but I love it. (Although I do enjoy the books even more, and for anyone who doesn't know, the books and TV show aren't really alike at all.)
Rugrats. This was one of the Nickelodeon shows that I watched over and over on TV as a kid, but I (or my family rather) also own tons of Rugrats tapes that I watched a million times. (I think our Rugrats tape collection is second only to our Barney tape collection.) I was so insanely happy when they started showing Rugrats on the 90's Are All That, and I've been recording and watching them all. (I've been recording most of the shows on there. It's like reliving my childhood. Do you know how long it had been since I'd seen Hey Arnold? It brings back so many memories.) So recently I've seen a ton of Rugrats episodes that I'd basically forgotten about. It's amazing. The 90's Are All That is one of the best decisions Nickelodeon ever made. It's amazing. Occassionally I'd go on these nostalgic kicks were I look up old cartoons online. Rugrats was always one of the first I'd search for. Now I just have to go to my DVR! (I was also a fan of All Grown Up. I've never understood why so many people seemed to have hated it.)
I want to add Dawson's Creek to this list, but it wouldn't really fit since I haven't watched it in forever. I used to watch reruns all the time, but they quit showing them. (Why must all of the reruns of good shows end?) Now I can't find reruns of it, and I don't own the DVDs (yet). If I could I would watch it all of the time though. I got really into watching the reruns back in middle school, but I never actually watched it when it aired. I think I was a bit young for it then.
Friends. My parents always watched Friends when it first aired, so I grew up watching it. I had to watch it every single week, and I now own almost all of the seasons on DVD (my sister owns the ones I don't). My whole family loves the show. In fact, my brother and sister watch it even more often than I do. Ji's currently borrowing half of the seasons, so we can't watch any of the later seasons at the moment.
