Welcome to Stephie's blog!
Hello people!
I have some exciting news, some sad news and some just plain pathetic news...
Firstly, the exciting stuff. I got to meet Jewel Staite!! She's like one of my favorite actresses ever, just behind Claudia Black. I met her this weekend after she did a panel and got my pic with her, as well as an autograph. Even talked for a minute with her, which was sooo cool!! Anyway, all the panels are on YouTube for anyone interested (my username is treehillbabe_xo ... Not that different). It was pretty awesome. I geeked out all weekend from it!!!
Second, I was baptized last Sunday (the 26th).
So that's incredibly exciting!!! I'm very happy I was finally. ![]()
Third, I'm out of exams!! So I have a whole month off
After that, I have a month long class for screenwriting. I'm looking forward to that. It's being taught by a member of the screenwriter's guild and she's won awards and such. Which is awesome. And only 15 kids in the whole school got in and I was one of them!!
Fourth, the sad news. I'm upset cuz my best friend is going to be in Iran for the next month and I'm not going to be able to talk to her at all :'( As if her living across the country wasn't bad enough!
Fifth, the pathetic news. I got a terrible grade in geology. Seriously, it was depressing. I actually cried a little on the exam because it was so hard! Honestly, I didn't even know some of the scientific names they used, let alone what period in which they first appeared. Heck, I couldn't even tell if they were one-celled organisms, fish, animals or plants!
Which reminds me, we're seriously all decended from reptiles?! How weird is that?!
Ohh, totally nerded out this weekend and bought tons of geeky stuff. It was amazing. My room is filled with SGA, SG-1, Firefly and Farscape stuff. Too bad Farscape stuff is so hard to find now...
Oh well, gotta love that show! Seriously, Claudia Black and Ben Browder have amazing chemistry! And the whole show was sooo clever!!
Anyway, that's my little update for now. For a more frequently (as in like 100 times more frequently) updated blog, visit valamckeller.wordpress.com

I couldn't think of a good title, so as it is, I'm trying to come up with one as I write.
So I'm in the middle of putting off my paper for Women's Studies. It's an okay topic, but I'm just not impressed with my writing. I feel like I'm too rambly and I'm not making sense. My mom read what I've got so far minus what I wrote in class today and Wednesday (which was another 2 pages) and she said it was good... I don't know, though. I'm not convinced. Apparently my prof is notorious for only giving A's to students who talk all the time in class and I'm pretty quiet.
Just have to mention, can you really blame me for being so quiet?? The class is about minority groups and the only 'marginalized' group I belong to is the female one. Besides that, I'm white, straight, two straight parents who are still married and alive, etc. etc. See? And believe me, no one in my class takes you seriously unless you're part of some sort of minority... *sigh*
Did I mention what my paper is about?? I'm talking about the portrayal of women in Stargate: SG-1 using Vala and Sam as my studies. Sadly, I have to criticize the show, but I still love it, and I hope that love comes through in the final project... At least I got to just watch the show as a good portion of my research!
Ooh! I also got two new editorships!! My two favorite people!! Claudia Black (Vala, Stargate: SG-1) and Jessica Lowndes (Adrianna, 90210).
Also, note the new banner.
By the way, if you like SG-1, please read my new fanfiction !! It's only a one-shot and it's purely for fun. No serious stuff ![]()
Mmm kay, well I think this is long enough for now. I have 2 midterms to study for once I'm done my paper. Stupid prof randomly made my geology midterm Monday, when it was supposed to be Wednesday!! Grr...

Hope everyone is well!!

Hello!!
So I decided it was time for my annual blog (lol). I realized just how much has happened in my life lately and I thought I would share it with you. No, I haven't gotten married or had a baby or anything (although seriously, I've had some crazzy baby dreams lately).
First, let's start with the fact that I now have near-black hair. I say "near" because it's actually really really dark brown with a red base. I love it, though. It's also really short (just above my shoulders) compared with how it use to be. I did it as part of an "outrageous acts" assignment for Women's Studies 201. I'm actually on a break from writing about it. I'm almost done too.
The other bit of news is that I've decided that I shall no longer hate people as a whole, and have decided to embrace that whole "love thy neighbor" thing. It's really working, too! I'm much happier and feel lighter. It's weird - hard to describe.
Oh, and I've managed to go to church every week so far this year and I hope to keep it up. Every other year, I've failed by now. I think it's because I really like the church I'm going to now! It's awesome. I'm still working on getting baptised, and I think I want to get it done there. The only other place that would be good is the church I went to as a child with my friend, Amanda.
Well other stuff has been going on, but rather than bore you with that, I will inform you of my Women's Studies class. First of all, I have the most stereotypical WMST prof! She only wears overalls, no bra (which is painfully obvious), no make-up, unplucked eyebrows and a crew cut! It's amazing! :-P. Anyway, Leah told me that as my act, I should dress up like a housewife from the fourties - apron, dress, ringlets, etc. and say things like "Women shouldn't have the vote because we're not as smart" and you know, everything that contradicts the course. My mom vetoed it, but I still thing it would have been hilarious watching everyone develop facial tics and anyrisms. ;-)
Oh, I also made a new video! I made a few, actually, but this one is about Adrianna from 90210 set to Crying Blood by Cander. Click here to watch.

Quote of the day: "Well, then might I suggest a more liberal interpretation of the agreement? For example, 'sanctuary' could mean anything from a delightful tropical paradise to a lifetime's imprisonment in one of this planet's more unpleasent penal facilities." - Vala Mal Doran, Stargate: SG-1

They are the most excellent band, possibly ever. At least by my standards. I love their music, especially the lyrics. My favorite is "We Are Pilots" because it's the perfect song to cry to. Another song that has a...
