The Historian

So, I've got a new book that I thought I'd go over with you. It's called The Historian. I'm not quite finished with it- it's almost 700 pages long- but so far it's pretty good.
WARNING: This book involves vampires. But don't freak out, I'm not a Twilight twit (no offense to Twilight fan), this book is about Dracula. From a modern point of view, it manages to go over "Vlad the Impaler's" life and, supposed, afterlife.

Plusses:

• Very historically accurate
• Well written
• Interesting (it seems to have that perfect blend of romance, action, and intellect that I love in stories)
• Believable, lovable characters (well, maybe they're a little too perfect sometimes)

Minuses:

• Long... LONG- long, long, long, long
• Drawn out (I guess that goes with LoNg)
• It does this odd thing- hard to explain- where it will go back and forth between two kinds of writing. One moment every other person will be dying or disappearing or threatening to die, and the next it'll be all happy go lucky... Very odd
• Confusing (just a bit)

Well, other than the feeling of impending doom I feel coming from everyother sentence, that's about it. This certainly isn't my most well written post, but it's (finally) something.

The human mind

Why do we have to be so confusing? Teenagers have unexplained moodswings... We decide what to think about people within a few seconds of meeting them... We chase things we cant have the hardest...
The second human phenomenom is the one I'm going to discuse...

Okay first an example... a couple years ago I met this girl. She had frizzy hair, braces, and seemed just plain annoying. The other day I met this girl again, though I didn't know she was the same girl. The girl seemed nice, her hair was pulled back and curly, and she was really easy to get along with. I later realized she was the same person I had thought was so annoying when I was younger.
Did she change? Not really, she still had braces, but she put her hair up differently.
Did I change? No. I'm still the same weird, easily upset, 'smart' girl I've always been, just older.
Did the circumstances change? Actually it was the same place that we had met before.
So what? What happened that made her seem so different? My first impression changed.

Keep an eye out for things like this in your future... even if you think I'm just a total nutcase you'll notice your first impressions of people now... and their first impressions of you...

Aliens

Ok its a topic we all wonder about right?
Is there life on other planets? Well come on answer me!
What you don't know? Then who does?
No one! I thought humans knew everything and there were no more mysteries to be solved...

There are many different ideas... most people keep the stance "Yes" "No" or "Maybe"
Yes, there definetly has to be life. Life may be a miracle but miracles come in pairs right? We can't be the only ones in the whole, unlimited universe!
No way! It was an absolute, singular miracle that any life could be established, let alone humanoids. Creatures with independent thought. Its impossible.
I wouldn't know either way. The only way to believe that there is life in space is to see it for myself. But there's always a possibility...

Ya I know this one was pretty short, but really what else is there to say? :/

Optimizing your Mind: A step by step guide on how to forget the worst

Step One- Sit in a quiet, secluded area
Step Two- Think of everything bad you want to forget. Relive them one more time in your mind.
Step Three- Dig to the very back of your mind and mentally visualize storing those memories there.
Step Four- Close your eyes and try to think of nothing at all
Step Five- When that doesn't work, think of the best things possible; bunnies, rainbows, Edward and Jacob with their shirts off... or if your gothic; werebunnies, black rainbows, Edward and Jacob with their shirts off
Step Six- Go somewhere with a lot of people and stay really busy all day, not allowing yourself to think about the memories
Step Seven- Stay up all night using electronics, eating junkfood, and other things that are bound to rot your brain and body
Step Eight- Sleep through the whole next day

Warning: Use only on days that you have nothing better to do. May not work for everybody, probably won't work for anybody. Do not use if you have high blood pressure, diabetes, cronic diaria or vomiting; or if you actually have a life and can't stay up all night and sleep all day. Happy thoughts may not occur... ever. May result in vomiting, cutting, bloodloss, headaches, mood swings, long or short term memory loss, thought loss, hearing loss, seeing loss, tasting loss, numbness, and swelling... but all that can happen at any time randomly in our life for no reason but I thought I should cover it any way.

Thirteen Reasons Why

First I should tell you that this is about a fictional book. The book is about tapes that a girl made and sent to the people mentioned in each one. They were expected to pass the tapes on to the person mentioned after them. The one we follow during this is Clay Jenson. The nice guy...
1. Justin Foley- A senior. Hannah's first kiss. A kiss. It was only a kiss, but rumors changed it and twisted it until it was much more than that to the kids at school. It began her reputation. Her completely false, reputation.
2. Alex Standell- Voted Hannah best but in freshman class. Voted Jessica Davis as her opposite. Gave others permission to act like there was only one important feature to her. Enstranged her from two of her aquantances. All to get back at Jessica for noticing when he was 'checking her out.'
3. Jessica Davis- Became Hannah's first friend along with Alex. They were the new kids. They needed each other. Someone to lean on. Someone to know in a new school. Then came the list. Jessica would never forgive her. Despite the fact she did nothing. But Jessica needed to blame her. Needed to believe that something happened between Hannah and Alex and thats why.
4. Tyler Down- The creep. The Peeping Tom. He took away the last safe place Hannah had. Her home. Her room. And he led the way for the perfect, beautiful, nice, fake Courtney Crimson.
5. Courtney Crimson- She's the one who introduced the fakery, the evil to Hannah. She's the one who started the rumors and made Hannah begin to realize that she was sick. "Sick of this town and everything in it."
6. Marcus Cooley- The goof-off. He was her one of her valentines in a new match-up program at school. After him Hannah first began to think of doing the terrible deed. It was at Rosie's. She went their waiting for her date to arrive. After fifteen minutes she ordered a shake. After half an hour she got ready to leave. Then he finally decided to show. Marcus invited her to a booth in the back and... they laughed, they had fun, until he rested his hand on her leg. She stopped and he moved it higher. She told him to stop and he moved faster. She pushed him out of the booth and he left. Noone came to help her.
7. Zach Dempsey...

I think this post is getting too long for fun reading. If you want to know the rest then read the book. Thirteen Reasons Why By: Jay Asher
Incase your wondering- Number nine is Clay and he is the outsider, the one who doesn't deserve to be on the list. But to complete the story she had to add him. She wanted him to hear it.

Cheesy poetry

I have to tell you that I am getting absolutely sick of all of the cheesy poetry that is popping up in my head. Has that ever happened to you? You just randomly think af something that you need to write down, then when you read over if you realize that it's the stupidest (Yes I did just use a non-proper word for all you critics out there) thing you've ever heard. Of course you give it to someone else and say "Hey isn't this stupid" They answer, "Ya its so cheesy" Then you tell them you wrote it and they say its kinda cute Yada yada yada...
Don't believe someone with my skill (Don't you dare say anything) could write something cheesy? Want me to give you an example? How about we make it into a contest! The person who can write the cheesiest poem wins. Yahoo! And no there is absolutely no prize! ( :
Me First:

I stand by quietly
Watching you wishing
Wishing you well
Wishing you different

I sit in the sidelines
Wondering whether
Whether you see me
Wishing you'd see me

I lay in my room
Waiting for something
Something new
Something happy

With you I wish
Away I wonder
In my room I wait
On my own I cry

Laughin' Alone

Have you ever noticed how most people just have to say what ever it is they're thinking, even if noone else cares? Many times I've caught my self randomly say something out loud that I was thinking. It seems that people just want to be heard and liked, though I don't know why we care what everyone else thinks over what we think. We say so called "witty" comments, but many times we end up laughing alone.
If you don't care about that then that's perfectly fine. Whether you are laughing alone or with a group, its always good to laugh, right? Good for your health and good for your mood. Its perfectly exceptable to say what you want, but just to be polite, try and wait until everyone is done talking... Its kind of hard to make someone listen to you if you don't listen to them. So next time you think up something that everyone wants to know about... at least wait until whoever is talking is done.
