Shoes


Shoes, shoes, and more shoes. If I had a bigger closet, and bigger wallet, I would be rich on shoes! I can never resist a good bargain on a pair of cute shoes, which makes me a bit of an impulse buyer but one with really cute shoes. ;)

Triangle Rant

     Ok what is going on with the romance in Young Adult books! It seems that every time I pick up a book there is a love triangle involved. Why? Do they think that everyone is a fan of this, because I'm not! I hate love triangles, they seem so unreal. Yes, I know, they probably happen to people, but personally I've never seen this except on TV and in books.     I hate reading about love triangles in books, they ruin the story for me. I just can't get into it, I hated reading one in Twilight, it almost ruined the entire series for me. Why do authors put these girls into these situations? Its hard for them and me. Its almost an entire genre in its self. There's mystery, romance, paranormal, and now love triangle. So many books that I started reading were so good but eventually got ruined by a "lovely" love triangle. I wish that some of these authors would warn you ahead of time, something like "Warning: This book contains a love triangle, read at your own peril" on the cover of their books.
    Love triangles play with your feelings and I do not like that. I hate it when the book starts of with the two main characters, and your like "aww they sound so cute together, they totally belong together, and I can't wait till they get together", but soon the author introduces a new character and the heroine is like "Omg, I feel something for this guy, why, and I think I should be with him". When this happens I'm screaming in my head "No, you idiot, you don't feel anything for this guy, your just making drama, go back to the guy that's perfect for you". It totally ruins the book, like the book Enclave by Ann Aquirre, it was so good until she added another love interest for Deuce. And I had such high hopes for it, but now I don't think I'll read the next book.
     Why is it always one girl and two guys? With that couple the reader is thinking "aww, she has a tough choice between two great guys" but what about one guy and two girls? If that were to happen, I bet the reader would totally love to chew out the guy, because then he would be a player. Its a total double standard which isn't fair, because really, the girl with two guys is a player. Ugh can we just stop with the love triangles! Its not fair to anyone and it ruins everything. So writers, please stop writing them or give me fair warning about whats to happen. I hate investing my time and feelings into a book, only to get gypped and hurt.
     Sorry for the long rant, but ugh! I just hate, hate, hate, the triangle which seems like the main theme in Young Adult books. It just needs to stop because its not entertaining its terrible and I'm waiting for the day when they stop.

Return

     For the past few months, since August, I've been a live in nanny for a couple who have three kids. I loved working for them, their little girl was the cutest thing ever! Adali be 9 months old on the 28th, and was the happiest baby I have ever meet! Seriously, I would wake up at 8 am go up stairs and she would just be laying in her crib playing with her hands and as soon as she would See me she'd start smiling, talking, and kicking her legs. She would only start whining when she was starving, you couldn't have a more well behaved baby!
     As of now I'm not working for them anymore, since her grandma came to visit and will be staying for a while with them. I'm going to miss that little girl, I already am missing her a bit, but as with the daycare kids, I'll get over it.  This experience has matured me tons, I was never really comfortable with baby's, they scared the crap out of me when one was put into my arms, but now I love having one in my arms. No don't worry I'm not in a hurry to have one, but they just make your day better just by holding them. Oh and I haven't mentioned the boys, Landon and Preston, Landon is 2 (3 on the 27th) and Preston is 4. They were very easy to please and a blast to play with. Landon was so sweet, he'd want to help me with anything I needed and Preston, man that was one smart kid. He'd remember something I mentioned a few days ago and remind me of it. He's going to be the smartest kid in school.
     This was a great job, and one that I might be returning to next year, so well see what happens. I can say that its great to stay home, since August I've only been home on the weekends which was not enough time to unwind, now I have so much time on my hands that I'm doing things I usually put off for a while, such as my laundry. This time also is giving me time to think of what I want to do with my life. Do I want to be a Dental Hygienist? Do I  want to go to school? And what am I doing with my life now, that's helpful for my future? Lot's of stuff to think about during this little break. I hope you all have a great Holiday Season and I'll be seeing you all next year!

Ah, long time no see! Man I am terrible at this blog thing, I start it and the I get bored and forget about it until something happens and I remember that I have somewhere to write all of it down. So what have I been up to lately is what your probably wondering. Oh well nothing much, just finishing HIGH SCHOOL!!! Yes, you've heard me, I am officially done with school, well till I start college! Senior year has been very memorable, I went to dances that I've never been too, almost died in school, had a friend almost die last week, and I graduated on Wednesday!

WHAT!? You almost died and in school is what your probably saying. Well during 4th quarter some idiot decided to make a bomb threat, which stalled classes, classes that we're very important to some people, like me, and we had to stay in the gym for over 3 hours almost 4, we were a few min. shy from it. It ended up being some kid who didn't want to go to class, hello if you don't want to go to class then stay home! Oh and my friend who almost died, well it was after school and she was crossing the cross walk to her mothers car across the street when some idiot sophomore sped out of the exit and hit her! She was ok, don't worry, but she has some bruises and scratches. On graduation she was limping a bit but she's getting their. Our senior trip was planned for this coming Monday but who knows now, I bet some people will be opting out because she can't go because her parents want her to rest and heal.
       Now how was school, well I'll leave that to the next post cause its getting late. Until then, Au revoir!

A Bronte Reading List

I don't know why, but i've been wanting to read Jane Eyre for the past couple of day. I believe I was watching Hair Spray with my mother when the father came on screen, Christopher Walken, and he reminded me of the Actor who played The Scarlet Pimpernel (One of my favorite movies). And I started thinking about movies around that time period and for some reason I thought of the movie Jane Eyre. So I went online to look up the movie because I couldn't remember how it ended and when I found out it made me want to read the book. While I was looking up some other books by the Bronte sister, I found some books that I had never heard of like Villette, Agnes Grey, and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, which sounded really good and was supprised that they weren't made into movie. So now im on a Historical fix again. I believe I shall go to the library tomorrow and try to find these books, wish me luck that they are not checked out! I just had to get that out, so good night!

School

I know, I know, I haven't posted anything on here for a while, but I have an excuse! Its school. I have been really busy lately with my government class and humanities class, I've only been in school for about 7 days but it feels like I've been their for months! Everyone tells you that your senior year of high school will be a blast but what they don't tell you is that its the most expensive year yet! School has basically emptied my wallet. I had to pay for my interior design class and I had to buy supplies, then I had to pay for my clothing class and buy fabric and supplies, I also had to buy a new humanities book because they had run out of the used ones. I also had to go and buy some new school supplies. That's a lot of money and I still have to buy more stuff!
         So far school has been great and I'm really excited for the school year. I have to say that my interior design class and mythology class are so far my favorites. My humanities class is pretty good so far, right now all we're doing is going over what humanities is and how to read our text books.
 So until next time.

Fears

   I've been thinking about some off my fears and it seems like most of them are laughable. One fear that I have comes crawling into my dreams. What is this fear you ask? Well its Zombies! Whenever I think about them they make me shiver. Now it's not those kind of zombies you see running around on Halloween, its the ones that are in Horror movies, like Resident Evil. Why do I fear them? It could be because of what they mean, the end of the world. One of my reoccuring nightmares is that I'm running down a dark hallway with my mother, when I turn around she's gone. I'm all alone, the last human left. So I keep running, until I run into a room. The door is nailed shut and I'm in a dark corner shivering from the cold. The door starts shaking and moaning noises are coming from the other side, its the zombies. I'm suddenly in the middle of the room with a gun in my hand and I'm praying, begging god to spare me. That's when I wake up. So whenever I think about them, that's the image that comes up. Another fear is of bugs, not just spiders but any bugs. I also freak out a little bit when a bird fly's over my head. I have no idea when this bird fear came along but I do know that I don't want anything to do with them.
     So its school for me in one more day. I'm excited, I can't wait to get to my classes and see all my friends. The only thing I worry about is if I don't know where the class is ahead of time and that happens to be the case to one of my classes. I've never even heard of the classroom number, does it exist? Other then that school should be fun, fun, fun! Until next time
