HELLO!!! I'm back!!! so since i'm a college student and have literally 100 things to do, I've decided to update this thing every Saturday :) just so you guys know.
For the first official post, I would like to say a few things. First of all, when I say “Random Thoughts,” I do not mean that they will pop out at random, like a jack in the box. What the name implies is that the thoughts are random and have no correlation or relation with each other whatsoever. Second of all, I use A LOT of little emoticons so you WILL see those consistently. Thirdly, I have a very erratic mother who has such a unique sense of humor. She will be included in these random thoughts. :D Um . . . what else? I think that’s about it. ENJOY, my peoples:
Random thoughts #1 September 28, 2013.
- I never understood why parents – in – laws always said “You’re like my own son/daughter”.
It’s like saying my children are having their OWN children . . . with each other.
O_O
- Me: if Cinderalla’s shoe fits perfectly, then why did it fall off?
Mom: Because she’s stupid. Why is she tripping In the first place? Estupida. hahahahahahhahahha
- A wise person once told me that all studying should be done in the shower because that is where you turn into a philosopher. She was right.
- I’m no genius, but nobody ever understands what my brain produces. That makes me a genius. I am a “G”. yessiree.
- Darling, because its true when I say, I will live my life and not look back. I will give it all and not look back.
- I remember when I went to see the movie “Daybreakers” a while back and this “Vampire” looking gothic couple walked in front of us and I was wondering what movie they could possibly want to watch….then they walk into Daybreakers and my eyelids become heavy and I go -__- “Of course”
- Sometimes I feel like Andrea.
- Mother: Do I look sexy?
Me: You just look pretty.
And then I start laughing. Why is that funny to me?

- I like to think of myself as having powers >:D jejejejejejejejeje
- Am I the only one who thinks of HOW badly personal hygiene must have been way before there was deodorant and toothpaste and shampoo and conditioner and all that? I mean, even if the rich had rivers and such to bathe in, I’m sure they had to be somewhat dirtier than those that were not rich. But still. They all must have been so putrid!
- Sometimes I wish I was a dog. Then I would only have to worry about sleeping and eating and going to the bathroom.
- Two heads are better unless none of them knows what’s going on.
- I want pizza. I don’t like the pizza song. It was too graphic and disgusting.
- I MISS SIMBA! :( I wonder if it would have been possible to bring in a tiger to the plot. That would have been odd, wouldn’t it?
- YOU SHOULD ALL WATCH THE MUSIC VIDEO FOR “Everything You Do Is a Balloon” by Boards of Canada. :( I don’t like those monkeys. They’re freaky.
- Speaking of freaky, am I the only one who remembers “The Phantom of the Megaplex” movie? And that face? I remember when I was a kid I had nightmares.
- “Fear the wind!” *run away*
- Ariel from the Little Mermaid was based on Alyssa Malano (if you don’t know her she is Phoebe from Charmed. You may now drop your jaw in awe.
- Joseph Gordon Levitt is also the boy from Angel’s in the Outfield. You may now break your jaw off. Lol
*Robotic voice over* Random Thoughts section completed.
This week I had to read Frankenstein for the first time and let me tell you:
I LOVED IT! :D I’m taking British Literature at my school and I’m kind of falling in love with it. Besides the fact that my professor is BRITISH (I am very happy in that class) the poems we read are very interesting. Not only is the content good but I’m learning a lot about the people that wrote during the period of the time (1600 – 1800’s). And I guess I have a few things to say about this book.
1) Like probably most people of the world, I always thought that Frankenstein was the MONSTER’S name. But no. it turns out that it’s the name of his creator! Victor Frankenstein.
2) Unless I read the entire thing completely wrong. Elizabeth and Victor are cousins. . . and yet . . . they MARRIED! 0_0 INCEST!!!!
3) I don’t like that ALL of the women died in this book. I mean, I consider myself a feminist and I think that Justine, Elizabeth, Victor’s mother (the name escapes me. I think its Caroline or something) all die innocent, which means that their persona and character weren’t tainted and they had no faults so they didn’t deserve to die. “Frankenstein” can be considered a feminine text in more than one example. One of them is that the good nature of women, or women in general are degraded completely. Elizabeth and Justine both die innocent. There is never any tainting of their characters and they still get punished for trying to be brave and strong and to love. More so Elizabeth is described as a “Summer insect,” by Victor. This shows that the men are still in control of women. Victor treats Elizabeth like a pet by telling her to do his bidding and she gladly accepts that. She is subservient to him and she likes it that way. AS the story continues, Victor now calls Elizabeth a “Bird.” So now she has been promoted to animal from insect. Victor tends on her as if she were an animal. She is, in Victor’s words, “a personal, thinking animal.” There is also the case of the female Frankenstein. When Victor is ordered to create her by the male monster, we see Victor go through a sense of terror. He is afraid that the female monster will be more destructive and deathly than the make because she is a woman; she will act on sentiment and feeling. So that, in case, means that her fate and future is already being decided for her even before being “born.” So, by this example, Mary Shelley depicts a call to action through her writing that women need to be stopped being controlled and degraded by men.
. . . haha. Yeah. I got technical.
As for movies, I, by accident, saw The Bling Ring and let me tell you:
1) I AM SO INCONTRAVERTABLY AND IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY IN LOVE WITH EMMA WATSON!!!!! EVER SINCE THE FIRST DAY I SAW HER IN A TRAIN AND ASKED FOR A TOAD!!!! !!!! !!!! <3 <3 <3
2)I know the movie was practically pointless but if the director of that movie told Emma to portray an “idiot” (no offense to the real life person she is pretending to be) the Emma could not have done a more perfect job. And this just adds to how great and diverse and actress she is.
3) AND NEED I MENTION HOW FLAWLESS HER AMERICAN ACCENT WAS!!!!???? In my opinion it was more polished and smooth than it was in Perks of Being a Wallflower (I loved her in that one too)
. . . And with that, i say mischief managed ;) (funny how one thing leads into another in life, isn't it?)

A Little About Something
I can't believe i actually got this to work!!! (happy dance). :) Ok. Good. So first of all, let me take this time to tell you where this whole blogging thing comes from. I was first introduced to blogging when i was in High School. One of my favorite English teachers of all time, Mrs. Mains, had all of us in the class create one for a series of homework assignments. She gave us surnames of famous writers. I got Frederick Douglass. I believe we had to post two things before the year ended. The following year, Junior year, another one of my all time favorite English teachers (I love all of them but my high school career was full of many incredible people) Mrs. Eddy continued the blogging assignments. Only this time she made us spend a lot more time with it. She gave every one of her students names of famous writers. Since i am Hispanic, i went from Frederick Douglass to Octavio Paz. So that year, the most intense school year i have ever and probably will EVER have, i ended up posting twelve more assignments making in total 14 posts for my first blog ever.
I didn't continue to use it senior year because i joined ASB and that is a whole other story filled with ups and downs and i rather not get into it. Maybe in another future post. But anyway, that was my first experience ever with blogging. And for two years i never logged in and my blog gathered digital dust. In those two years a lot of things happened. i graduated from High School as a apart of the honors section. My family was very proud of their little nerd. (i use that label with the highest form of pride(I would wear a t-shirt). The summer between high school and college was very busy for me. Why? because i was working on the only thing that matters most to me more than anything in the world: my novel. I have been a writer for as long as i can remember. When i was little i remember always holding a pencil and paper in each of my hands. I drew and wrote what my already endless imagination ordered me to. However, it wasn't until i was in the fourth grade, did my lifetime occupation dawn upon me. The scene happened as follows: I was listening to my teacher, Mrs. Reed, explain how to divide fractions. Now, i was never good at math. it just wasn't my thing so i basically ended up daydreaming. Luckily my classroom was rich enough to have more than four windows on the walls. And it was even more lucky that my seat was right next to one. I loved that window. I really did. I remember there was a park next to my school and, well i remember reading somewhere that looking at green scenery makes you more creative. And i guess whoever said that was right. All it took was a boring day and an even more boring lesson, a cloudless sky, a green field, and an overactive and curious imagination. The result was - well not really a result. more like the start of something new - a character. This character came with endless information about a world that was unraveling inside my head. Fact after fact after fact revealed itself and the worst thing was that the only paper available to me at the time was that of my textbook. And after all, you can't write in them. But i took a chance. I wrote all over the white parts of lesson three. In fact I filled the page. I saved it, and kept the book close until i got home. When i was alone, i ripped the page from the margin and kept it safe. I don't remember what happened to that page but thank goodness, i transferred what i wrote onto my notebook. And the rest is history.
I finished my novel on the last day of 2012. I don't know why, but i felt like it would have been good luck or something. Ever since that day when i was ten, all i have wanted to be is a writer. I do it because it i s the only thing that actually keeps me calm, cool, and collected. I'm a very stressful and worrying person by genetics (I blame my mother)so you can only guess how much i write. To be exact: two novels worth as of today. I'm editing the first one and writing the sequel. Its a long process, but i love doing it so i never tire of it. It's may passion and i hope to make a living off of my books. So long story short (i don't think that was short haha) i am an English major doing nothing but reading and writing.
My friends know what i want to do with my writing and they have suggested in more than one occasion to make a blog. "That's how most authors start off" they say. at first i din't believe them. but now, actually thinking about it, i think they're correct. And i trust my friends. They would never push me off course. But like my introduction says, i don't wish to become blog famous in the slightest. All i want is to get used to this. Maybe get some connections out of this, i don't know. That and i think i could have fun with it. Like i do when i write. :)
So that is a little bit of something for you. just to get this thing started. I plan to post things on here as frequently as i can. What with school and all i suppose i'll have to make up a scheduled date. I'll get back to you guys on that. As for what this blog will consist of, i think I've got a pretty good set of ideas :)
On my facebook i used to do these little sections of what i called "Random Updates" where basically i would bullet point twenty to thirty random thoughts that i picked up during the day. A lot of my friends thought it was really funny and they were really entertained by it. So that's one thing i'd like to do. And then, of course, i'd like to maybe write reviews of movies I've watched or shows i like. Or even books that I've read. Or i could simply tell you something interesting that happened in school or at home :). I don't really expect to be formal when i do this, but i know there will be some instances where i will be. But mostly for entertainment purposes i hope to be as creative as possible :). So without further or do, let the mischief begin! p.s I love Harry Potter. And a good friend of mine, Erin, suggested i end every post with "mischief managed". Kudos to him!
