Music is good <3

Mmkay. I have a new love. Its name is violindustrial. It just rocks. Especially when revamped classical music is being played on electric violins. Yes I'm a weird girl but I have to say I'm in love with Emilie Autumns instrumental music. Mind you, if I were you I would not listen to anything with lyrics in it by her. She's a little... descriptive and has no boundaries xD Alas, SOME of her lyrical songs are safe. Like Juliet and Rose Red. Never, I repeat NEVER listen to one of her songs without checking the lyrics xD You'll be in for... a surprise. *cough* Anyways. Now I wanna learn to play the Harpsichord and the Electric Violin along with Classical and Modern Piano(which I AM learning) Yay music fetish! <3 class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Bahaha. Also. Brisingr is an addictive book :3 I'm almost done with the whole book <3.>_> But anyways. Gosh. You know what I really wanna do? I want to take my laptop to the library one Saturday and just spend the whole day they amongst the books. Gosh... I would figuratively kill for that. Ah well, I guess I'll just have to stick with reading the dictionary in the mean time. I mean seriously D: what a better way to learn new words the either reading the dictionary or reading a good novel by a talented and witty author. Good times... good times. Gosh darn it. I am wide freaking awake o.o and its 3:31AM and the current moment of writing. Maybe I'll obsessively clean... or finish the whole weeks school work... yea. Well lets see. I have a tiny bit of history left and a chemistry test I have to study and take.. then my labs. Lastly I have English. Eck. Curses to school. Just.. curses. I'd rather be drawing... or writing or something. I don't really know. =_= Meh, I need to find something else to write about else wise this blog'll end on a sour note. D: Ah I know, I'll talk about piano lessons. The downside to learning these things this late in my technical childhood is that I feel like an imbecile learning the basics of ANYTHING at 15 going on 16. *pitiful whine* Anyways since this was only my second lesson I'm currently working on basic finger excersize. Gosh I feel stupid and insignificant. =_= I am currently physically- and apparently mentally- incapable of playing with both of my hand on the piano unless the left hand is going VERY simple things. My brain just does not compute. *more pitiful whining* Anyways >_> I think I've been writing this blog for an hour... still wide awake =_= going tot go do school now.

It's like a Bowling Ball, Dropped on your head.

"But I don't want to go among the mad people..."


Hello my readers(or lack thereof 8D) How be you? Me? I'm in pain xD Well first off, on Sunday I played a riveting game of flag foot ball with church... ouch. Today on the other hand, my legs were fine, up until I played a whacky version of DDR(horrible songs on this version D: I missed my j-pop) with Kyle at the bowling alley. It hurt xD and we failed, quite splendidly. As of right now, I'm hopped up on coffee 8D Mmmm Caffeine <3 style="font-style: italic;">he was the one who provoked me D: I'm volitile, its just my nature. You can't hate the bird for flying or the fish for swimming. Well... I suppose you can, but its not exactly fair. >_> anyways... cough cough. I smashed my fingers while bowling D: that and I fell in the lanes. Not cool, thankfully no one had a camera. xD Blackmail much? I'm learning the piano again 8D fun fun fun. I like piano its so pretty >3 Do you like my little Alice's Adventures in Wonderland quote? That was a good book, I was never quite as into it as say Kelsey or Kyle, but I did love the book. Very crazy and all that. I actually preferred The Looking Glass Wars, which was a book by an author I can't seem to remember, that was more or less a backwards version of it. Instead of Alice being a girl from our world, she was the Princess of Hearts in Wonderland. On her birthday was a wondrous celebration, but her evil Aunt Red came and ruined the party, sending her through a portal to our world, where she spent some of her first years as an orphan in Britain on the streets, till she was picked up and brought to an orphanage to be adopted, and eventually met up with Reverend Dodgson aka Lewis Carroll, who wrote her story for her, only the dolt screwed it up and gave us what we now have. I'm not going to say anymore though, you'll have to pick it up and read it. I never actually got around to reading the sequel, Seeing Red, all the way through. I'll have to do that sometime. One question before I go, should anyone I know miraculously find this blog and comment, what should I be for Halloween? Lauren says a Zombie Alice in Wonderland. Mummy says a Ninja xD But I'd end up being a soul reaper from bleach. Or should I just make up a character and be it? You should tell me 8D


Well, ta ta for now.

Pain pain pain...

Ouch. That's all I'm really able to say right now. Yesterday was full of pain. From flag football, but oh my gosh it was fun. I was mostly the rusher, so I got to run and try to grab the quarter backs flag. Now, I'm not exactly the most physically active of people, so this was a major strain on my muscles. xD Because not only did I run around, doing gymnastics and stretching on the sidelines, for two hours, I went over to my friend Leannas house and swam for ANOTHER two hours. Then we walked around.. and I was basically Dead on Arrival when I got home. I managed to tackle two people, and steal the flag once or twice. It was fun. I just don't think I'll be moving much for a few days... bah.. piano lessons at 6. *dead.*

I'll be going to the hospital now...

Evil laptop

I can think of no explanation of it but this, my laptop is possessed. I swear, the charger randomly dies... then turns back on! For no apparent reason! Electronics have a long history of hatred towards me. My old computer(may it rest in piece) was such a dust magnet, and in growled at me. Then it died. Wouldn't start up anymore-mind you, this thing was likely older than me o_o- though before that I'd have to turn it on, it'd freeze, and then I'd leave it like that for half an hour before turning it off and on again. Tedious business. Anyways, I'm off to finish homework before church tonight. ^^

Short much?

Fangasmic

Ohmygosh. Just... oh my gosh. Words are unable to express my current state of being. As of right now, there are four books which I crave intently. Okay, here is the down low. I am a nerdy geeky whatever girl, who is utterly obsessed with books, mainly fantasy books and those having something to do- directly or indirectly- with faeries(and other magical creatures of the sort.). So, first off we have Brisingr. Brisingr is the third book in a series- that was once a trilogy but is now going to have four books- called Inheritence. Anyways, its about a young boy named Eragon who finds a dragon egg blah blah blah becomes a dragon riding warrior blah blah blah is a stupid boy who somehow miraculously manages to save the would blah blah blah find lost family blah blah blah pisses off the elves blah blah makes up with the elves blah blah insert plot here blah story. Its actually not boring but that would be far too much for me to type right now seeing as I can barely contain myself as it is. Anyways, the third book is coming out at an increasingly soon time and I really really want it. ARYA ROCKS. Eragon fails. Murtag hott. Yes. Okay. Back to the subject on hand. The NEXT book I would ever so appriciate, would be the sixth book in the Artemis Fowl series, by Eion Coilfer(how can his books NOT be cool when his name is?) Time Paradox. Squeegasm. I love Artemis. I have this issue with being undeniably attracted to fictional characters... its rather worrisome, but whatever. He is seriously a freaking awesome guy! He is super smart(a genius really[why do I always like the smart ones?{oh well}]), yet incredibly akward about girls! Its endearing. Yes. I'm a dork. Bite me. Anyways, Coilfer left it off at a major cliffhangerish point which makes me pout in angsty..ness. Bahaha. Kay, NEXT BOOK is Inkdeath(Me and kelsey TOTALLY predicted the title. Go us.) by Cornelia Funke(yet another freakishly awesome name. For serious.) Which is, once again. FANTASY! Yay me!(I secretly play role playing games[actually, that's not a secret xD{WOW for the win baby.}]) Kay, again back to subject. The last book I would kill for would be a book by one of my authors(authoress's?) Holly Black. She is just MADE of win. Seriously. She wrote about faeries AND Japan! In the same series! I would sell my kidney for a chance to meet her... or Terry Pratchett... or Jesus(haha don't have to sell my kidney to meet him! >D[Nooo, I didn't have any caffeine, what EVER gave you that idea. xD]) Baha, pardon me while I spasm on the floor in joy. Hmm, I haven't checked up on some of my other favorite writers, such as Tamora Pierce( Baha medieval<3)>_>


PS- Blogspot sucks! They only let me have half of my tags. D: Fail.

Crossroads

I'm rather stuck on something. You see, on the site that I post my art on, fanart for different shows and books is very popular, but people still post original things on there. Now, the majority of my gallery is my original work. I have maybe three pieces of fanart on there, and every once in a while I'll post fanart. My page isn't very popular xD That's because I don't post fanart. People rarely search for the tags that I have on my art, and if they do, they probably won't see mine. xD Anyways, I'm wondering if I should just start drawing fanart more often, I mean, I want people to see my original art... but I'm not a big fan of drawing fanart. =\ They're not my characters, and I prefer to draw Nyx(she is my favorite original character. =3) then to draw say, Sakura, from a show called Naruto. Its really really popular, and I love the show, but again it comes down to, do I really want to sell myself out for pageviews? I just don't know... =\

What do you think?

Internet Fights....

.... Are kind of funny.


Anyways, a few days ago, on the art site I get on frequently, one person was blatantly insulting this really good artist I follow, so, I went and looked at their gallery, and they're quite the hypocrite. He had said that the girl who's art I watch couldn't do proper anatomy, when their 'skinny female' looked like a freaking twig, so I of course, being the helpful citizen I've been known to be(sarcasm), decided to point this out to them. I also happened to comment on one of their posts concerning how he hates when people pick on his atheist friend's- he said he was a Christian to boot, it made me laugh- and how just because they didn't believe in God didn't mean they were going to hell. So I took it upon myself to point out that without God or Jesus, there was no way into heaven. SO today when I logged on today, I found several replies to my comments. He actually challenged me in a theology battle, which I gleefully accepted. He ALSO comment about my anatomy. It was quite funny how he chose to comment on my oldest and worst pieces. Not even noticing the vast improvement. He even quoted me xD It was simply side splitting. Oh, and to top it off, one of his little friends called me a minion! sheep. xD Which is simply hilarious, because that would also make the commenter a 'minion! sheep'. Which I gladly pointed out to them. I'm now waiting for a reply. =] People seem to think that I'll back down if they actually say something smart. So funny. Isn't Internet debating funny?


Much love!

Alaina.

I hate titles. Why do they exist?

Hello there, I'm back again to waste bandwidth with my useless ranting. Fun times, fun times. That's something I have yet to fully understand, why does each site have a limited amount of bandwidth? I mean, I always used to think that the internet was endless, though I seemed to think a lot of peculiar things when I was six. I would swear up and down that my favorite fictional character, Sailor Moon, was real and she was infact going to make me the Sailor Senshi(scout for all you dubbys out there) of Saturn. Why yes I was(am) eccentric. I enjoy it really, makes people turn heads, and one of my biggest pleasures in life is shaking the norm. Mind you, not in a way that could be considered morally(by the bible, not the worlds view) wrong... or illegal(cough). Normal is severally over rated, and its for people who're afraid to step out of the flock and try something new. Whats the point of doing what everyone else is doing? Clearly it doesn't really make a difference in the world if it takes so many people to acomplish. Why strive to fit it? If a piece doesn't fit in the puzzle, you don't force it in(Unless of course you're 3, or an imbecile.), you look for something that will fit. You can't force yourself to be something your not, unless you want to experience a lot of pain and discomfort. So stop acting like everyone else and be your own person for a change, and no, I do not mean rebel against society. Just against peer pressure. =] Its amazing how I can get from the internet to this. Especially when I should be doing math. Ha.
... I really need to think of a neat parting phrase.
