Hey you...I forgot about you....

Well not really forgot more got bored of life and have been ruling my Sims with an iron fist. Not that isn't a giant nerdy thing or anything. But as I was doing nothing, but ruling over my sims, writing some random thoughts for my book and sketching...and then eventually painting...I have been bored.

Over the past weeks, I have been to Key West (got sun burnt) and then done nothing really exciting. Life has been boring and sad. But other than that...nothing. HOWEVER!!!

I have been making leaps in bound in my writing, not only of fanfiction but my novel which has been sitting beside my computer JUDGING ME!! IT JUDGES!! But I will start with some nice information stuff...

As I've always dreamed of becoming a writer, I have been attempting to look into publishing. And wooo...it has been a chore. I will hopefully add some of my other 'storys' as they are now and add to them.

My joy of cooking

Well school is over and I am home. A little worse for ware with a 3.1 average for the year and a little more time on my hands. (unless I get a job, which I haven't got a call back so...doubtful) Any way, most of my time will be spent cooking. Since I will be living with a full kitchen next and last year at college, I've decided to expand my cooking horizons. Now I've made dinner twice as a few desserts. But my Guru is my mother. A Great cook and somewhat bossy tutor. (Though she is my mother)

Barely home for a week and I'm just getting in the swing. I find that I love cooking, and it is fun and relaxing. Well according to me. But I love it. Even though we don't have much money its fun to bake and cook and attempt to do that flippy thing with the food in a pan...(WHICH I successfully did!) I was really happy when I did. But tonight is an easy going night, with no cooking to be found. Besides my Apple Crisp and my mother's Strawberry rhubarb coffee cake.



So I have 79 days, until fall orientation. That is 79 days (minus my vacation time which is eight days) Our plan is for me to cook and to fill up a book of recipes and be glad that I have it for when I have my own house and family. I can't wait :)

World War Z

The Zombie Apocalypse. The living dead, the horror of shooting your loved-one's face off as they try and eat your flesh. The most gruesome (in my opinion) of any monster created by George Romero.

The latest Zombie craze which has included movies, sayings on merchandise, books, games and has infected (no pun intended) my generation. I am a college student and have found myself talking out zombie plans, useful weapons and other such ideas.It is a pop culture idea that has turned many people into full on Zombie believers.

There are things that make it seem plausible that a Zombie Apocalypse could come about.

1. Brain infection/parasites.
2. Nero-toxins.
3. Viruses (biological mutations or crafted war-fare viruses)

To me seen the most plausible reasons for a zombie apocalypse. These three things can turn one into a mindless flesh eating monster. People have apparently milked this until it was dry. But I was surprised to find two things that caught my eye lately.

The first was a book. Pictured above. by Max Brooks. It is the Oral history of the Zombie War. This book hit me hard enough that it took me a good couple of weeks to actually finish it because in my mind it was so visceral. as an artist I have a painfully realistic imagination. The descriptions of battles, personal and organized by armies made my stomach clench. Brooks captured the horror of personal stories in his volume with few large plot holes that bothered me as a reader. It was surprising that it happened like that. Usually when it comes to Zombie stories, be it movies or video games, there are plot holes so large that I have to plug my ears and look away. It happens more than I wished it would but oh well.

The origin story of Brooks though not clear of the complete origins (unlike some who point at virus or others at Mad-Cow disease) he allowed it to be called "African Rabies" But it is never clear if the zombies were a natural virus that mutated or a brain infection. Another thing Brooks captured, is that Zombies or Zack are so much biological different from us just as they are the same. They Walk, Moan and are generally human looking, but the difference that is pointed out was that they are brains that don't need bodies to really survive. This is seen in Zack's ability to stay on the ocean floor and not be disabled. Unlike a human who would be killed by the pressure.

Brooks' book showed me the true horror of a Zombie War that Hollywood couldn't and wouldn't show me.

Now a video game team comes along and releases a teaser trailer that gives me a taste of that horror that Brooks' book gave me. Dead island is an upcoming video game. Take a look....

Dead Island (Teaser Trailer)

Heart of Disney

I've been watching and listening to music more and more lately. As if my soul is caught back into my childhood and I wish to feel what I once did as a child. That I will find great love and have an adventure. Then I sort of realize that I already have. I'm living an adventure, true not as exciting as I wished it would be. No swash buckling sword fights, no bad guy trying to get me.

But I mean, look at life it is a Disney movie. We all live through tragedy, and survive, and find a sort of happy ending in the end. We ALL have dreams!

This is what started it. Tangled. I love this movie, and not to include that I've been re-reading the Narnia series. And WOW. It makes my heart burst with happiness. I mean I feel as if There is something I can do and become something.

Not only that but it is a great movie and has a plot that can touch my heart. What I guess I'm saying is that I've always sort of known, but I have a Disney heart. A Heart which loves music and fairy-tales, they keep me from going insane. Which I think is a good thing.

I believe everyone has to have a love of fairy-tales. A love of things that seem impossible but aren't if you have the heart to love them. Also to have a love of great music which tends to be infiltrated into the animated Disney movies. I can't really find that I hate any Disney movie (except maybe Pocahontas, because the composition.

So there it is I'm a Disney girl. I always will be, and I suppose always have been. Tangled has though become one of my favorite movies up there with The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. I love to see Disney doing animated features again. And well, it just makes me giddy and happy.

>3>

So term two is coming to a close and well...I'm glad for it. However, I am not ready to see my seniors go. Because well...I never want my seniors to go. I was the same way last year. But I didn't have as many friends in the Tens as I do the Elevens. But my big sister was in the Tens. <3 But so sad about that.

I cant wait for my classes term three. Because I'm taking two directed studies. One in Japanese Pottery and another in Printmaking. I'm really syched. It is going to be BAMF. XD

But other than that I have thing piling up fast. Have to write a paper for art history, and study for Latin. AND get all my illustration things done. It gets a little crazy at the end of the term. But having dealt with it for two point five years, I'm pretty used to it.

I'm happy to be an art major, but now I'm freaking out about my RETARDED timing. WHY OH WHY did I change so late. But I have a feeling that I'll get it done and good. But still freaking out a bit. :D

I'm floating around upside down

So by running around doing absolutely nothing I feel as if I must do something. So here I am writing my blog. So look at the weirdness that is my awe/zombie face. I've been trying to find something that inspires me to write or draw. But I'm hitting a wall...like the Great Wall of China sized wall. But now that I'm over break and have gotten all the work I needed done, well done. I find that I am still hitting this block.

So now I'm at work, as a security escort and well I'm utterly bored; and going a little crazy. Since being on campus barely a day I have spraned my knee and gotten reemed by a professor. It isn't as if I mean for these things to happen. They just do. So I'm mostly over it, the reeming was more over him worryng about my average. It's a D and it's Latin. So I am having issues keeping up with that material. But meh. We just hit passive voice before break, and it's killing my. The whole being told that passive voice is bad had killed my ability to understand it that well. So EPIC FAILURE!

Art wise I'm bursting at the edges. I've got tons of ideas and well not enough arms to do all of it. So I put things on the back burner and have pulled back a bit.

So I sewed an Octupus named Mr.Oliver Squiggles, he was an international buisness man and the first Cephalopod to ever go to college. He was sucessful and was living in Tokyo, but made the mistake of eating at a sushi restuarant, where he ate his uncle. Now he lives in shame in my bed as a Hobo Octopus but will give finacial advice if asked.He is very depressed though, so bring him a crab or some fish to cheer him up. K Thanks Bai. (I'll put a picture of him up soon)

Other than Mr.Oliver Squiggles I babysat a lot of my break, got peircings, a pedicure and well slept a lot more than I had been before break.

I got some spiffy new headphones that cancel out sound and are just plain awesome and satisfy my love of Base, and my hatered of earbuds. :D :D



Sparkle Sparkle! Are they cool...and spiffy? Enjoy that picture and it's shiney ness. They're Sennheiser HD 202 headphones. And Smashing Punpkins sounds awesome in them...which is what just came on. It's CRAZY! :D :D :D The BASE is making my brain explode.

A recount of my favorite movies and movies I'm looking forward to.

10. Alice in Wonderland (2010)

When it comes to fantastical movie that make my brain whir, Burton's Alice in Wonderland is tops. The mix of through the Looking Glass and other Alice related media makes it a whirl wind adventure. Beyond that I love the visuals, and the concept of the creatures and people of Underland. It sparks my mind and gets me drawing or writing depending on what comes from my crazy head.

9. Iron Man


Oh Iron Man, and Tony Stark you make me love you. Now originally I did not like Tony Stark. By Robert Downey Jr. just made me grin like a psycho while watching this. So I got roped in, but that doesn't mean I take his side in the Civil War. Screw you Tony, my heart is forever with Steve!

8. The Dark Knight


First things first...a small silence for Heath Ledger...okay it's been three years but it's still sad. But that is not why this is number eight in my favorite movies.The Joker...and how twisted is this, is my favorite comic book character. So I went to the midnight Showing...and had my brain blown away! It was delightfully twisted and heart pumping, even with Two face's quick rise and fall...which doesn't make sense to me.

7. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 1.



Okay I picked this poster for a reason. Even though I loved part 1, it feels just like when the last book came out. Bitter sweet sort of the end of a child hood. But I believe it was achieved perfectly. The reason I used this poster was because this scene, with the doe made me cry from happiness. That is a rare thing, as I went to the midnight showing. I'm sad it's ending but it is so great.

6.Boondock Saints



Well yes. The epic battle of mob vs. twin hot Irish brothers. Win. The plot, though interlaced with cursing every other line which is the 90's style. It is a great movie to watch if you want great action, mixed with comedy from sibling idiocy. I love it for this reason. It had a great plot mixed with the right amount of laughs.

5. Fanboys


This movie makes me laugh hysterically. This is nerd life, and it's great. The movie about a bunch of friends doing something funny, but has an underlying heart warming theme. It is great.

4.Up



This movie is a great story of love and growth. I love it because it has a great story, and a great cast of characters. It shows family values, that you don't always have to be blood to be family.

3. Coraline



Coraline is the child from the brain of Neil Gaiman. Now I love this man's writing. So it isn't hard to reason why I love Coraline both the book and movie. The style of art though close to Nightmare before Christmas, has it's own whimsy feel. The story itself is dark and slightly twisted but plays on the childhood wishing for better parents. <3 it though.

2.Forrest Gump



So wild jump right? From all these fantasy action-y things to Forrest Gump. Something about this movie makes me smile every time I see it. It's such a moving story that can be carried through out the times. It has good morals and the ups and downs as a real life.

1. Ever After



Call me a hopeless romantic but...I love this movie with all my heart. I Love Drew so it shouldn't be surprising that I love this movie. The cast is great, and the story so well done that you can almost barely see the Cinderella story under it. I love the costuming and the over all feel. <3


Movies I look Forward to.

X-Men First Class


More back stories...yes please.

Capitan America



Oh Steve, you are finally making it to this scene. <3

Cowboys & Aliens



Just yes, I love the comic. So yes.

Transformers : The Dark of the Moon



Don't care what others say I love both transformers. They make my inner child happy.

Kungfu Panda 2



:D :D :D

Thor



It's Thor. That's that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So there you go. Maybe I'll do another one of these for music, or tv.
