Why I hate Twilight

I don't approve of abusive relationships. It's that simple. I'll elaborate though.

He took the engine out of her car! So she couldn't go see the other guy. Wow. That's some good trust you got between you.

Ed is constantly telling Bella "no" to things she wants. She agrees to all his shit, but when she has something to say or something she wants, it is a "no." Like she doesn't know what she's saying... that silly girl. *pat pat*

He threw her into a table full of glass! Because she had a paper cut! Well NOW she's bleeding, asshole.

He sneaks into her room and watches her sleep? In what world did we decide that's okay? "How long have you been watching me sleep?" ---- "Oh, just a few months." How is this romantic at all?

I can't count the number of times he has hurt her, but she rationalizes it with "it's okay cause he loves me." How is this a good lesson for girls?

I can't remember all the times that Eddie boy tells the poor girl he doesn't love her anymore, then pulls a "syke!" Are we teaching girls that when boys say they hate you, they actually love you? Cause... that's just wrong.

So... the other guy is all like "I love you" and she's like "That's nice, but no." So he pretty much mouth rapes her. Then later is all like.... "Oh, I knew you would realize your love." So this is telling all boys that if a girl tells you "no," just mouth rape her and it's all good.

Even if I could get past all this abusive non-triangle of love going on, I still can't get past the fact that these are not real vampires! I mean, they have more in common with butterflies! (No, really. They do. Look it up.) Vampires in this world sparkle, and don't even have fangs? (As my friend tells me, who reads the books.) WTF?!?!

Ugh. End rant.

Cultivate Inspiration

Six ways to keep inspiration alive!!! These are just some of the things I do to keep my mind working.

1. Revisit your childhood and the things you use to enjoy doing.
Nothing gets creative juices flowing like revisiting your childhood. Did you ever save any of your old coloring books, drawings, favorite books, comic books, or movies? What were your hobbies when you were ten? Blanket forts, drawing, making sand castles or mud pies? Going to the zoo? Think of such activities as feeding your inner child — or for many of us — muse.

2. Procrastinate.
Don‘t you wish someone had told you this in college? For us Right-Brainers, procrastination can be a veritable goldmine. While Project A may be at the top of the list and have the closest deadline, procrastination tends to yield unique and interesting strong ideas (if not results) for Projects C, D, and E and so on (B is probably a little too close to A for consideration here).

3. Be a mad scientist.
Or rather, take a “mad scientist” approach to everything you do. Decorate madly – surround yourself with nutty, silly objects – funky furniture, abstract art, etc. Cook crazy dishes. Paint your dog‘s toenails. Be spontaneous and fun in your life and it will show in your work.

4. Put in a CD you haven't listened to in many years.
Akin to revisiting your childhood, take an audio trip down memory lane by listening to music you used to enjoy during a different era of your life. What did you listen to when you were 18? Whether you find those tastes laughable now or it‘s stuff you still enjoy, we reach our most robust mental processing stages at this age, so the artistic and recreational choices you made then tend to have long-lasting cerebral effects. Throw in that CD (or tape, or — yikes! — record) and see where your mind takes you.

5. Take care of yourself.
A nutritionist might disagree that your favorite macaroni and cheese dish or a pepperoni and sausage pizza is good for you, but it‘ll work wonders for your soul. Treat yourself occasionally to your favorite comfort food and allow yourself plenty of time to sleep and your imagination will emerge fully recharged.

6. Keep that sketchbook [or notebook] handy.
Inspiration can be found anywhere and everywhere in your surroundings, often when you least expect it. If you don‘t scribble down or doodle up that spontaneous idea when it hits you, it gets lost forever.

Pets

I love having pets, and I would love to have any kind of animal. I like snakes and hamsters and frogs... all that jazz. But there are just three that I would love to have. I think because I have to most experience in caring for them, so I could have the most fun with them.

1. Border Collies

This is probably because I had my Gizmo and I miss him so much, but he really was the best dog ever. Borders are so easy to train because they are smart and love activities. Plus, they are not too big. I don't like small dogs but I still want a dog that I can cuddle and not be crushed. So, for me, Borders are perfect!


2. Tropical Fish










I would really love to have a big aquarium full of tropical fish. I think because they are the easiest types of fish to have and they are the most colorful and I know how to handle them. It would be so much fun decorating. I'd do it with ancient ruins and a bubble wall.

3. Cockatiel

I really miss working with these little bastards at work. I remember I had them all trained to stop biting so damn much and step up on your finger. For only seeing them a few days a week I think that's awesome. But, I do miss them sitting on my shoulder as I worked in the back and cleaned their cages. I would just love the chance to have one in the house. Maybe a quiet one though.

Inspiration

Here is the inspiration for a new story I'm working on... and it's probably not the type of story you would think it should be.



It relates to a quote that my roommate said. It shall be funny and crazy. The world will love it.

Just updated my iPod and I thought that my "Top 25 Played" playlist was funny. It shows just how random I am. The songs change most of the time based on how many times I turn shuffle on and what kind of mood I'm in. But, just looking at the songs I've been listening to the most for the past week or so makes me laugh. Here it is:

1. Star Locket Melody (From Sailor Moon, kinda sounds like a music box)
2. Prelude 12/21 by AFI
3. Lollipop (Squeak E. Clean & Desert Eagles remix) by the Chordettes
4. Rescue Rangers TV theme song
5. Sex and Candy by Marcy Playground
6. Dancing Cheek to Cheek by Frank Sinatra
7. Forever by Chris Brown (even though I hate him, it's a good song)
8. Not Myself Tonight by Christina Aguilera
9. Her Eyes by Pat Monahan
10. Symphony No. 6 - 1st Movement by Beethoven
11. Nutcracker Suite - Valse Fleurs by Tchaikovsky
12. The Flame by Cheap Trick
13. Danke Schoen by Ella Fitzgerald
14. Minuet of the Forest (Orchestrated Remix) by Koji Kondo
15. Shadow Temple theme by Koji Kondo
16. Hotel Room Service by Pitbull
17. Love Story by The Scene Aesthetic
18. Get Low by Flow Rita ft. Tpain
19. All the Young Dudes by Mott the Hoople
20. The Power of Love (LunaRock) by Jennifer Love Hewitt
21. Bang On by The Breeders
22. Dream Police by Cheap Trick
23. Faithfully by Journey
24. Time is Running Out by Muse
25. Flavor of the Week by American Hi-Fi (random)

Adorable!

How much do you love these?










They are Uggs, Jolina Perf flats, and they have sheep skin inside! So adorable. I want them! They come in two other colors but I like the black the best cause you can wear it with anything.

Haha. This is what I do all day. I look at stuff I can't afford. Sad face.

Things that make me... ME!

I decided to take a post from my sisters blog (love ya!) and list some things that make me who I am. I didn't have to think too hard about this, but I hope you love it just the same. It's only five things, and I'm sure I can think of more but I just don't feel like it right now. Enjoy :)

1. DVD's
Yes, DVD's. I love movies after all. LOVE them. I think if I were a millionaire all my money would go to buying movies every time I'd go shopping. I would have hundreds of them. And I'd watch them all too. I love making movies and I love watching movies. I love watching all the extras and special features. I love watching the credits. I love it all.


2. My iPod
I know a lot of people probably say this one, but it's true. I listen to mine constantly. It's right by my bed at night and it's right in my purse all day when I leave the house. AND you never know what I might be listening to. Whether it's Goo Goo Dolls, Bach, TV show theme songs, or Mika, I have a song for every moment of my life. And my list of songs is ever growing.


3. Disney!
Okay, if you know me at all you know that I love Disney a lot. Like... A LOT. I love the movies! I love going to Disney World, and I'm sure anyone that knows me can tell you how sick and tired they are of hearing about me working there. My favorite movie of all time is The Little Mermaid! Not just Disney movie... of ALL time! And it's very quotable. Funny, sad, scary, everything. So don't make fun of me for it. Love me for it.


4. Friendship
Seems a little silly, but let me explain. Telling someone you are like a member of the family may sound nice for some people. But take it from me, even members of a family can break your heart. There are some of mine that I don't speak to, and I never plan on it. But for people that know me well, they know that I keep my friends close to my heart. In fact, the highest compliment I can pay anyone is that they are a close friend of mine. I tell my own parents that. It's just something I don't throw out there unless I love you that much. So If I were to ever tell you that you are one of my best friends, then you should be flattered. I only have a few close friends in my life and if I want you to be one of them it means I love ya!

5, Art!
I love doing anything art related and crafty. I love to draw and sketch. I'm currently drawing the HP Quidditch field for my cousin, just cause he asked me to. I try to paint sometimes but I'm not a good free hand painter. I'm better at drawing. I love scrap-booking. I love to make collages out of stuff I find in magazines. I like to color, haha. I even have one of those dorky art student tackle boxes of supplies, because it's adorable and covered with Disney stickers. I love making movies and films. (see my youtube channel, if you know me.)

SSSSQQQQQUUUUEEEEE!!!!!!

Purses I wish I had!

I've been looking at purses a lot lately and I've seen some that I truly wish I had. I like big purses cause I carry tons of stuff around. I love Coach and Betsey Johnson, but I have seen some by other designers that I would love to have.

1. "Lila" - Marc by Marc Jacobs

2. Pepper Poppy Chan - Coach


















3. Poppy Graphic Blossom Glam Tote


















I think that's about it. I haven't seen to many but these are all from Spring/Summer collections. I'm sure I'll find more things I love in Fall. :)
