Books

Since everyone else is writing about books, why shouldn't I? :)

Alice in the Country of Hearts

This is, by far, my favorite manga. Yes, it is shojo [directed at girls], but I know some guys who like it. Recently, I finally got the 2nd volume to complete my series [thus far], and got my boyfriend, Shayne to read it and he can't put it down. :D
Alice in the Country of Hearts is based off a Japanese 'adventure' game called Heart no Kuni no Alice and is a remake of Alice in Wonderland. In this story, Alice is kidnapped by Peter White [the White Rabbit] and taken to the land of Heart and forced to drink a potion that traps her there. Shortly after, Peter leaves her there and she meets Julius Monrey, the clock fixer, and he explains the rules of the game in which she's now a part of, one of which being that she cannot leave until her empty potion vial is filled. The way to fill the vial is to interact with the people in that world. In an attempt to get home, she follows the rules and meets some very interesting people including Blood Dupre, the leader of the mafia known as the Hatters, Boris Airay, a punk Cheshire Cat, Vivaldi, the tempermental queen of Heart with a soft spot for cute things, Ace, the knight with a terrible sense of direction and wish to be something that he is not, and Nightmare, a sickly dream incubus who allowed Peter to bring her to Heart.
So far there are 5 volumes and the 6th's release has yet to be announced.




Borders- IS CLOSING.
Everything is on sale, from books to CDs to posters! I suggest you go there soon :D
I went there Friday and got the 2nd volume to Alice, The Vampire Armand by Anne Rice, a True Blood poster, and got Shayne a Halo ODST poster. The True Blood poster is  now proudly hanging close to my light switch, scaring my sister in the middle of the night :) She complained about my DaVinci Code poster before I got the True Blood one :) [Personally I think the Alice in Wonderland one is creepiest cause it's the Mad Hatter, but oh well]

OMG CAKE

Om nom nom nom nom

We should have cake every day. Then again, we'd be fat if we did. WE SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT DURING 2ND PERIOD EVERY DAY. :D

I really don't mind celebrating National Grammar Day if it means getting cake :)


Buuuuuuttttttt, you know what's awesomer than cake? CHRISSY. And I'm going to her house tonight for some crazy shenanigans of doom :D We'll also be celebrating Chad's (our brother) birthday. I didn't know his birthday was coming up o.o Lol Chrissy's gonna be jealous of my cake. And be happy that I'm actually eating cake. For the past 2-3 years, I haven't liked cake. I still don't know if I like cake. Oh well.

Egypt

Topic of the week: Egypt
Not a topic I have much to write on. Yes, I know there's a "crisis" going on over there that has to do with protests and government and blah blah blah, but to be honest, I haven't followed ANYTHING on it, because frankly, I don't care. When it comes to Egypt, I'm only interested in the history; The gods and goddesses, the art, the mummies, the pyramids, not today's politics. Every country has a revolution, so why is everyone freaking out? You can't get anything accomplished without a bit of violence.

Valentine's Day

Today I've nothing to write about, and cannot think of a topic with the invasion of Good Girls Go Bad in my head.


Valentine's Day is coming up. I have no clue what to do. I've never actually had a valentine before .-. It's like "do we go here? Do we go there? Can we get a ride? Do we have the money? How about we go there?" and I don't even care what we do. We could get tacos, go to his house, and hang out with Christ, and I'd be fine. (Although, I'd prefer a milkshake ^-^) (Ugh, food cravings D:)
Also, what do you get a guy? Chocolate is a good choice, but just the candy or one of those stupid lil heart things? Some kid in my algebra class said he'd want the heart shaped box of chocolates and a giant teddy bear, but as his girlfriend said, not every guy is him. XD
Oh great, now I want some of those conversation heart candy things. The ORIGINAL ones [The ones that taste like Neccos]. I'm not happy about the new(er) ones that have flavors and stuff >.< Every year I look forward to eating the hell out of those, and last year Mum and I got a giant bag to find out they had flavors. They were good, for a bit, but eating too many were terrible and once they went stale I wouldn't touch them.


On another note: I WANNA RAVE!!!!!! D:<


P.S. I think everyone should update their blogs more and be interesting because I get bored and like to read stuff :)

Mirrors

I've realized, perhaps a long time ago if not just recently, I enjoy keeping a blog. My deviantART was becoming overflooded with meaningless posts on my thoughts. Now, I can keep my ramblings here and leave my dA with what it should be: my ART.

Since we do not have a topic today, I'll use one of the prompts from a 30-day writing challenge. Who knows, perhaps I may even use all 30. (I doubt it.)

Day 1: What you see in the mirror
[Of course it is not actually day 1 in the prompt :)]

I look in the mirror many times a day; To fix my makeup, to brush my hair, to make sure any bruises are covered, but I never see myself. Some days I see a girl who is pretty, but tries to hard to be so, and other days I see a girl that badly needs makeup and something done with her hair. Those girls are never me. I really stopped trying to be, well, anything a while ago, so how is this try-too-hard pretty girl me? But, at the same time, the way I view myself looks better than the girl with the pink-purple under her eyes, looking like bruises, her hair wavy and fluffy and definitely needing tied back or something. But if these people aren't me, who are they? And who am I? Am I the flash of the eye, the eyes that are ever changing their color, or am I hidden in there, somewhere, out of my sight?
Why is it so much easier to write when you disconnect yourself? Aren't we, as normal human beings, supposed to know more about ourselves than anyone else does?
If my soul had a reflection, what would it be?

Music~♥

Well, this blog assignment has pretty good timing :)
ON FRIDAY I WILL BE GOING TO AN AVENGED SEVENFOLD CONCERT :D
Also, Stonesour, Hollywood Undead, and New Medicine will be there, but I'm going for A7X. Stonesour and Hollywood Undead are just a bonus :)

If you can't tell, Avenged Sevenfold is my favorite band. If you were to look on my iPod, they probably take up a good portion of the memory. Their music is amazing. I even love their newest album, Nightmare, even though it sounds pretty different than their previous albums.

I have other favorite bands, but A7X is my #1. My other favorite bands are

Evanescence
