Complain, complain, complain, complain....

My butt hurts. :( seriously. I have a bruised tailbone. Or something worse. But I'm hoping for the former. Something worse would mean a cist on my tailbone... or some other kind of horrid infection that I would have to get surgery for... ugh. Does not want!

Besides the fact that I can't sit still for more than five minutes cuz I'm in pain, I also have writer's/artist block. And it sucks. Because that means I have nothing to do. Which makes me sad, and then slowly spirals down into mini-depression. Yeah. It really sucks. 

Luckily for ME, Glee makes things much better :3 after watching a very heartwarming and amazing episode of Glee, I felt much better, and was able to come upstairs and re-check all of my usual sites ((Facebook, dA, Fur affinity, etc. etc. etc.)) and then I was left to do whatever I wanted. Which isn't much, since I have that everything-block going on. 

So, now I'm left down to trying to draw/write, and inhaling honey-mint Altoids. Oh yum.

"Prom Nights From Hell" book review

I'm really starting to like this book-reviewing thing. :)

ANY-hoo. So. "Prom Nights From Hell", as I'm sure you can guess, is a book about proms that have gone from great to, well, hellish. In other terms, paranormal crap goes down. The thing is, it's a collection of short stories that would make EXCELLENT novels by themselves. Too bad they had to cut off, dammit. There were five short stories each, and five different authors. Here's the authors and titles ((and a short little splurge about it)) in a list of favorite to least favorite. Although I have to say that I enjoyed each of them; there wasn't really a story that I didn't like. Anyways.

1. Madison Avery and the Dim Reaper by Kim Harrison: ((Holy crap I almost put "Raper" instead of "Reaper". That would've been horrible)) okay, ignoring my A.D.D.-ness... This story, as you can maybe gather--depending on how much intelligence you have, or lack thereof--is about Grim Reapers. Except there's white reapers, black reapers, dark reapers, etc etc etc. This one is a top favorite out of the five. Well done, Miss Kim Harrison, well done. ((MAKE A REAL NOVEL OUT OF IT PLEEEAAAASE!!!!)) ★★★★★

2. Hell on Earth by Stephanie Meyer: well DUR-DA-DUR its one of my favorites!!!!! i only went through the BIGGEST Twilight fad in the history of my grade last year!!!! Stephanie Meyer is an AMAZING author, and she pulled through with this story just as I expected!!!! The gist: a demoness raising hell during a prom so she can get promoted to a higher rank. Only her hell-raising is ruined!! WHO COULD DO SUCH A BLASPHEMY?! ((READ IT YOURSELF TO FIND OUT!!)) this tied for first place in my opinion. ★★★★★


3. Kiss and Tell by Michele Jaffe: A very AWESOME story that leaves you wondering, "DA HELL?! NOO I WANT TO FIND OUT MOOOOAAAR!!!!" yes. VERY epic story about oracles, the future of a world and a girl that is the key to it, and another girl with superpowers.
"Um, yes, this is Mason. Yes I will hold. ..... Hello, Miss Jaffe.... THAT LITTLE SHORT STORY WASN'T ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!" ARGH!!! ★★★★☆


4. The Exterminator's Daughter by Meg Cabot: Okay, I love Meg Cabot's work in general, but this was REALLY good. I have to say, definitely not my favorite out of the entire thing ((I'm sorry Miss Cabot!!! D: )) BUT it was still awesome, nonetheless. ★★★★☆


5. The Corsage by Lauren Myracle: Okay, this was a REALLY good story, but it was the creepiest out of all of them, but for realsies now? It freaked my beans. And a corsage that makes your wishes come true but in a really screwed up way just freaks my beans even more. I mean, seriously. And yes, I get scared easily, but still. It was a great story nonetheless, and I do believe that a book about Hellish Prom Nights deserves at least one creepy story. ★★★★


BTW the filled stars are full stars and the empty stars are supposed to be half-stars. So, "Kiss and Tell" would get a 4.5 out of 5, for example. I couldn't find a ligit half star, so I settled with an empty one. Just btw on that.


I am SOOOOOO gonna get chastised about that whole Twilight thing. People are too judgmental on that crap. I CAN LIKE TWILIGHT IF I WANT. >:C <--SUPER ANGRY FACE. yeah. i do what i want. *crosses arms* meh. 


ANYWAY. More A.D.D. crap right there. '^___^


Seriously though. All these short stories should become full-length novels. That would rock my socks off.

Achieving Greatness

Who are you to
judge what I do
and who I am?
You don't know me.

Take all of your
prejudices and
don't let the door
hit you on the way out.

I don't mean
to be rude, but
you are so I
might as well be too.

Listen to me closely.
I don't give a damn
about your stupid jokes
or sneering comments.

Try to bring me down.
You'll find a size 8 combat
boot print on your butt
pretty quickly.

I will achieve my goals.
Any who try and stop me
will get knocked down as
I pass you on my way to glory.

Don't doubt my skills.
They say words can't hurt
you... but they're wrong.
They're probably the most painful.

I am strong.
I am powerful.
You do not effect me.
I will achieve greatness.

Numerology?

So, I was just reading up on Numerology for some reason.... idk, just curious, i guess... and this is what i got for my name and such. It's actually quite fitting....



Deep down, you desire the best life has to offer. This includes living your inner life in peace and silence. You have a keen sense of perfection and like to meditate and analyze, dissect, examine, and consider things from every angle. And you can definitely do without poverty, the transitory, and the noise and confusion of the business world.
You love huge libraries, old and well-maintained gardens, classic pictures, and time mellowed furniture. You are intellectual, scientific, philosophical, deeply intuitive, and a well of secrecy. You are sought after for your wisdom. Probably you are somewhat shy and deeply emotional, but with a horror of showing it.
For more complete personal understanding of life, work on expressing your emotions, trusting your feelings, less avoidance, and being sympathetic and understanding with people. You possess a tremendous inner wisdom. You appear dignified and poised, intellectual, and somewhat aloof. When first meeting someone, you appear hard to know, but are friendly and a good talker when better acquainted. You emit a strong sense of self-knowledge.
While discussing familiar topics, you are convincing and appear at ease. However, in unfamiliar areas you can make statements you later regret.
Your personality gains when well-dressed and groomed; good style with straight lines and touches of color and sparkle, possibly of expensive materials. Your destiny is to promote the idea of liberty for all; knowing that happiness cannot last without the right to be free. You know progress comes through change, by entertaining new ideas and trying new methods. Your destiny includes helping people live life more fully and with more joy. You are versatile and clever.
You are comfortable interacting with people of diverse races and backgrounds, a natural lecturer or teacher, an artist with written and spoken words, and capable of understanding many different viewpoints. You insist on having freedom of action and speech. Your life changes often, sometimes unpredictably, and you enjoy it because each change brings new opportunities to understand and absorb yet more aspects of life. You love travel and the open spaces, and you have the best opportunities to succeed in occupations that have those qualities and also bring you in contact with people, including sales, acting, speaking, teaching, commercial artist, legal fields, or as a writer or editor.
You are striking, attention getting, entertaining, and find it easier to move about than to make permanent associations with people or undertakings. Your life is filled with things practical, or making them so with patience, care, and accuracy. You have a strong sense of what is right and are naturally honest, conscientious, and sincere.
You are a worker and can be decidedly dedicated to your goals. In your work, you can be loyal, intense, and dedicated to the job at hand.

You tend to be conservative and protective, with a strong sense of dignity and worthiness.
Your path holds possibilities for great attainment. The rewards come because of patience, service, persistence, hard work, and dependability.

The Fissure Between Us

I don't know if you know...
or even care for that matter...
but I wish that I could show
how much I miss you.

Remember way back when?
Remember the past...
remember when we were still friends?
I do... do you?

Remember all the fun times?
Laughing and making pretend,
you and me... partners in crime...
what happened to us?

I know friendships die,
but I never expected
ours to pass on by.
I didn't even see it go.

It was a smooth change,
I have to say.
But it feels strange...
not knowing you anymore.

We're on opposite ends
of the spectrum now, but
I still want us to be friends.
But I don't know where to start.

I see you during the day,
but it's awkward between us
and I have no idea what to say.
Sometimes it's painful.

I wish that it could go back
to the way it was before,
but i think there's a crack,
a fissure in between us.

"If I Stay" Book Review

Okay, so i just got done reading a book called "If I Stay". Can't remember who it's by at the moment. That's probably important when doing a book review. But anyways.

Okay, so, I enjoy reading the reviews on the inside/back/cover of the book by famous people and such. And almost all of them said that it was a super amazing but sad story and the reader would be bawling through the whole book. And, knowing that I'm a super emotional person, I KNEW I was gonna cry, but for some reason I love those kind of books where I'm just lying there sobbing. Yeah, emo, I know. I dunno why. Don't judge me. ._.  So anyways. I'm reading through this book, just WAITING for the moment where I'll burst into tears, but as I'm reading this, I find that I DON'T. And I was super surprised. I mean, I dunno if those people who reviewed the book were super emotional at the time of reading this or something, but I just wasn't crying. Yeah, i felt super sad and stuff, and I was EXPECTING myself to cry, but it wasn't happinen'. I only started to get a little emotional near the end, when I was confused as to what the chick Mia was gonna chose. She's just chillin' out in this state of limbo, not exactly alive but not exactly dead either. And she has to chose: life or death. That's all i'm letting you know in that part. And then, right at the end, I burst into tears. I think it was just me panicking because I couldn't tell if she was alive or dead, and I was worried that she was dead, but i wasn't quite positive, either, so. It was still a spectacular book, and I definitely recommend it. I'd say four stars.
