Why I think I am a vampire.

And I don't mean the sparkly kind. I mean the cold, blooded killers that haunted the dreams of all God-fearing villagers in the 1700. And here are the reasons I have made such a shocking announcement.

1. My biggest reason for believing that I am turning or have turned into a vampire is my sensitivity to the sun. Recently every time I come into contact with sunlight for at least half an hour, I develop a terrible rash. It looks like a very severe sunburn, my skin is covered in red splotches and it itches very badly. It does fade after a day or so, but the pain that comes from it is excruciating. I also can't stand lots of light, I prefer to have my room dark so I can work in peace.
2. I am more active at night. This is something that most teenagers find to be true, but in my case I don't only become more active but more acutely awake. I think better at night and tend to regret the decisions made at night less that the ones made during the day. I'm also very hungry at night...
3. I HATE GARLIC. 'nuff said.
4. I have always loved red meat. Especially when its cooked rare.
5. I am very pale this summer which is extremely unusual, because I tan very easily and am rather famous in my family for that fact. Update: I went to the beach, got sunburn, and then it turned into tan. There goes the pale part....
6. I don't require much sleep.
7. I heal much faster than anyone I know.
8. I love to be alone. I need to be alone. If I spend to much time with a lot of people than I usually implode and then explode. It's not pretty....
9. And, finally, I have a very dark nature. Sometimes. Other times I'm like I'm on drugs. I get so crazy sometimes...

Anyway, yeah. These are the reasons I think I am a vampire.
So if you'll excuse me, I suddenly have a craving for blood...

The Fault in Our Stars: Movie vs Book

So after my first post I realized that my blog address was the evil qeen and not the evil queen as I had thought I spelled it...
Oh well, these things happen.

And there has been a change of plans. I will blog about the Silence of the Lambs some other time. I need plenty of space and time to write that blog post....

ANYWAY, so I watch The Fault in Our Stars this week.

 I read the book a few months back and really enjoyed. Its really good, completely unrealistic, but good. Now before you jump on me and say something like, "It was completely realistic! That's what the whole point of it was! They are normal teenagers going through something that's absolutely awful (cancer) and they find love in spite of it! You are just a stupid person who has never felt love and you just don't understand!!" Well, I don't think the cancer part was unrealistic, (that actually might have happened in some time in history, you never know.) The unrealistic part was the characters themselves. Hazel and Augustus are EXTREMELY intelligent teenagers. Like Hazel got her GED at age 16, which isn't completely unrealistic just unlikely. And Augustus could flirt and hold conversation in a really adorably intelligent way. Like really adorable, almost kinda sexy (and I don't call many people sexy. Only David Tennant holds that honor.) Anyway, the average teenager kid doesn't know anything about Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs or half the thing that Hazel and Augustus talk about. Most kids are intent on their make up or boyfriends or friend troubles or the newest teacher at school. So yeah the conversations in the book was very intelligent and unrealistic.

Wow... I used the word unrealistic a lot...

Anyway the movies was enjoyable, but not NEARLY as good as I had hope it would be. The best part was the actor that was cast as Augustus Waters. Ansel Elgort. A very handsome and charming young man, he easily captured the hearts of all the fangirls, including mine. And my heart is not easily captured. (Except in Matt Smith's case, that was an open and close case of heart capturing.) The other actors of the movie were decent enough, the parents, for example, were very well cast and the actors managed to bring the pain that parents that are watching their child die usually have. The biggest disappointment was Shailene Woodley. And I had such high hopes for her... She delivered the witty lines of Hazel Grace Lancaster with none of the finesse and and confidence that I had read in the book. The Movie Hazel was more focused on the hardships of living with cancer, while the Book Hazel was just amazing. No other words are necessary.

Anyway, in conclusion, the book is amazing and the movie was disappointing...

Thats all for now,

Why I started a blog

I like to rant. A lot. But my problem is no one likes to take the time to hear other people's opinions. Its a selfish world we live in, and most everyone thinks about themselves. I, my self, am included in this diagnose of the world. I am a selfish, rude and all around rather terrible person. It amazing people have put up with me so long, although its probably because they never hear me. People never seem to hear me talk, it takes a great deal of effort to be heard sometimes. Another thing: I love to complain about my life. Even though its pretty good, I love to find fault in things. That one of the reasons I started this blog: I can complain and rant and find fault in everything and share that opinion with other people like me.

Reasons I started this blog

1. To rant, complain and find fault in things. (See above)
2. My cousin has a blog and she finds it quite amusing.
3. I need to work on more creative writing for school and if I even want to be a writer like I hope.
4. IT JUST LOOKS COOL, OKAY?

So I guess thats all for today.

Next I'm going to talk about TFiOS (The Fault in Our Stars) and TSotL (The Silence of the Lambs)

Both great movies, completely different and and extremely enjoyable, although maybe not by the same audience...
