Disclaimer: I do not own Degrassi or its characters but I do own three new video games =)

It's January which means it's award season time. Yep that means for the next, I don't exactly know how long, but there will be a lot of award shows going on. The Golden Globes were actually last week and Henry the Eighth won two: Best Supporting Actress and Best Screenplay. That was very big news and Paige was very happy. Paige feels that the costumes help the actors and actresses relate to their characters more. I guess I agree, sort of.

If you're wondering if Alex popped the big question, no she did not. Alex decided to wait for a perfect moment. I don't know when that perfect moment is going to be but I kind of hope it's soon. Oh and before I forget it's LEAP YEAR! That's right it's Leap Year. Which means the summer Olympics are this year, there's an extra day in February which means Black History Month is one day longer and the United States have their presidential election this year. I voted in the last one but I'm pretty sure I can't vote in this one. I'm currently in the process of becoming a Canadian citizen. See Mom and Brian are now Canadian-American citizens and I'm not exactly sure what Major is because he was born in Canada but at the time Mom and Brian were still American citizens so I know he's at least Canadian but I don't know if he's also American. And as you know of course Alex and Beth are both Canadian citizens since they were born here. I have to wait about another two years until I can apply for citizenship. Technically I'm still an immigrant but I am a permanent resident thanks to having my job at the station and being married to Beth. Immigration and becoming-a-citizen laws are really confusing.

o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O

Zzzzzzzz. Zzzzzzzz. Zzzzzzz. Zzzzzzzz. Hhhhaaaauuuwwwnnn. Wakey wakey Jordan. I feel fully rested after a good night's sleep. I love that feeling one gets when they wake up and they're not tired at all. I turn my body around. Aw, Beth always looks cute when she's sleeping. I brush back some hair that was in her face. Beth's eyes flutter open.

"I didn't wake you did I?" I whisper.

Beth smiles. "No, I was already kind of awake," she answers. "I was waiting for you to wake up."

Beth leans over to me and we share a morning kiss. Mmm, morning kisses. Surprisingly she does not have any morning breath. Beth pulls away and smiles at me.

"You never have morning breath," I point out.

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"Yeah, I'm just finding it amazing that you never have morning breath."

Beth leans in and whispers in my ear. "Want to know my secret?" she asks.

"Yes, please."

"On the mornings I don't have class I always wake up five minutes before you and I go brush my teeth." She pulls away and she's smiling.

"How do you know when I'm going to wake up?" I ask.

Beth shrugs her shoulders. "I don't," she says. "My body knows. I just always wake up five minutes before you."

"Obviously that means we're soul mates because our bodies are so in sync with each other," I tell her.

Beth giggles. "Yeah, I guess so."

Beth leans in and we start kissing again. There's nothing better than morning making out. I feel her tongue running along my lower lip asking for permission. I happily grant the permission by welcoming her tongue with mine. Mmm… I definitely hope this is going where I want it to go.

I'm A Barbie Girl in the Barbie World.Life in plastic, it's fantastic.

Beth pulls away. Noooo!

"Just ignore it," I tell her. "She can call back later."

I try to pull Beth back in. She pulls away. Ugh!

"It could be an emergency," she says.

"Or it could just be her interrupting our sexy time." I pout.

Beth crosses her arms. "Paige would only call this early in the morning if it was serious. Pick up the phone."

"Ugh!" I pick up my phone off my dresser and answer it. "If you aren't going to tell me that you or Alex are hurt then I hope you know I plan on hurting you," I tell Paige.

"I WAS NOMINATED!" Paige yells.

Ow! She just yelled right in my ear. I think I'm deaf in one ear now. I take the phone away from my ear.

"I WAS NOMINATED FOR AN OSCAR!" Paige yells.

Even with my phone a foot away from my ear she's still too loud. I bring the phone back to my ear.

"Yeah that's great," I tell her quickly. "Next time call me after noon. Talk to you later!"

I press the end call button. I look at Beth and smile at her suggestively.

"So where were we?" I ask.

"Did Paige just say she was nominated for an Oscar?" Beth asks.

"Yeah, nominated for an Oscar, whatever. I believe we were doing something before we were interrupted."

I lean back up and try to kiss Beth. DENIED! I just got the hand to my face. I can't ever win.

"We should go over there and congratulate her," Beth says.

"Can't we just send a quick text saying "Congratulations"?" I ask.

"Jordan this is big for Paige. And we always celebrate big news together."

"Ok how about first you and I have our own little celebration party and then we go over there and celebrate with them?"

Beth is shaking her head. "Nope," she answers. Beth hops out of the bed and walks into our bathroom. "Take a shower and get dressed."

I fall back onto the bed in defeat. "Can we at least take a shower together?"

Beth pops her head out. "Only if you hurry up," she tells me and winks.

I'm up! I'm up! I run to the bathroom. Maybe we'll be having sexy time after all.

o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O

If Paige wasn't big before now she's SUPER big. I think the whole fashion world knew about her Oscar nomination like five minutes after the nominations were announced. She was on Fashion Talk like two days later. She always gives them an interview first, which is why they like her so much. I think she's supposed to go to New York for a couple of more interviews. I'm very proud of her and so is Alex.

Alex and I are my place right now. Paige and Beth went to New York for the weekend which is good for us because Alex is trying to plan when to propose to Paige.

"I have to do it soon." Alex tells me. "This ring is burning a hole in my pocket and I'm afraid Paige is going to find it any day now."

"Well like I said you pick the perfect moment," I tell her. "And even if it's not the "perfect" moment it'll be perfect because you'll be asking Paige to be your wife. That's big already. But if you do want to pick a "perfect" day I say ask her on a day that's maybe special to you two are special to her. A day that already means something to her and the proposal will just make it even more meaningful."

Alex is looking down at the floor, thinking. Alex brings her head up slowly. Wait why is she looking at me like that? She's smiling and it looks like she has a plan. I don't know if I'm going to like this plan.

"I think I have a plan," Alex says.

"Am I going to like this plan?"

Alex is nodding her head. "You are going to LOVE this plan," she says.

Alex tells me the plan. Oh my God, it's actually pretty good plan.

"You know Paige might be mad at you at first," I tell her.

"Yeah but she'll get over it once I get down on one knee. So you in?"

"Or I am so in."

Alex and I fist bump. Or this is definitely my favorite plan Alex has ever come up with because it involves lots of cameras, publicity for me, and hopefully me meeting some movie stars. Oh bring it on March 4th.

A/N: What's the plan? Hmmm...
