Five Things I Dislike

This is for May the 6th.

These are five things I dislike but don't hate.

1. Running. The only reason I don't hate it is because I know it's a good way to work out and it is good for you. But I hate being out of breath. Which is why I dislike it. Maybe if I was better at it eh?

2. I dislike the way once something becomes popular everything has to relate to it. After Twilight it seemed the only thing to be found under teen fiction in bookstores were vampire books. What the hell!? What the hell do teens know about vampires and how are we supposed to relate?? I am fine with a couple of them but really why does everything have to be related to what made it popular. Same thing after Hunger Games. What the hell do we know about the end of the world seeing as how our world has been ending probably a week after it was created! This is very close to being on the hated list.

3. I dislike how sick I feel when I smell bacon. I love bacon and I love eating it and whatnot. But in 8th grade for the Leadership class I was in we had to make breakfast for all the teachers. So we got there at like 5 in the morning and made huge amounts of eggs, bacon and sausages, and it was a pain and for the rest of that day a whole hallway smelled disgustingly like bacon. I don't like the smell ever since.

4. I dislike hats. I think it's cause my head is shaped weird and I look stupid with a hat on. So I just don't wear them. I guess beanies fall under this category as well.

5. I don't like black licorice. Sometimes I eat it just because but I'm always like why the hell did I just eat it? I know I don't like it but I still eat it sometimes.

Iron Man 3

This is for May 5th.

I watched Iron Man 3! I watched Iron Man 3! *commence geekin' out.*  As you know I own all the Marvel films leading up to The Avengers including that one. So this film was the first of phase two.

I won't reveal any spoilers.

I loved it! I watched it in 3D! And I admit you don't have to watch it in 3D to get the great experience but it was still cool. I loved the plot and how it really does continue after Avengers. It doesn't just ignore what happened.Tony Stark is suffering from PTSD. And I thought it was a good portrayal of that.

I think Gwyneth Paltrow is gorgeous and near the end she's in a sports bra. My life is made. *wipes drool*

Anyways back to the stuff. The Mandarin is the villain in the film and if anyone knows anything about Iron Man then they'll know that he is Iron Man's Joker. His arch nemesis. There was a twist in the film. While I wasn't exactly thrilled with the twist I have to say I think they handled it really really well and still made it great. Because I still loved it.

The whole storyline was nicely done and there was a ton of humor. It was something really great.

And I suggest if anyone watches it to stay after the credits for a little extra scene.

All in all I'd give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars because it really was a great film. It had romance, suspense, some shocks, lots of thrills, lots of humor, it was a superhero film that was different from all superhero films, and it had amazing special effects.

Silver Linings

This is for May 4th. 

I'm getting to that point in the semester where I just want it to end. I need it to end. I'm stressed and tired and not exactly happy. And while I'm at it I want a job. Anyways. 

On Saturday I watched the Silver Linings Playbook.

What did I think? Jennifer Lawrence is in it I'd be watching it regardless. Her and Emma Stone are my wives. Just sayin'. Mr. Bradley Cooper is in it as well and I enjoy his acting. So I was ready for it. Upon trying to explain to my parents what it was about I found I wasn't exactly sure. So I told them to just sit down and watch. 

I won't go into the plot so as not to spoil it. But there were a few moments where the tears almost came. And there were plenty of funny moments. I just loved how sassy and brutally honest Jennifer and Bradley's characters were! They complete me.

I really recommend the film. I loved every moment of it and I thought the plot was well done and their portrayals were really realistic. 

Seriously. Watch it. 

Isn't she gorgeous in this poster!?

"I volunteer! I volunteer to marry Jennifer!" 

Five Things I like

This is meant for May the Third.

Five Things I like..

These are things I do like but aren't things I would think of when thinking of what I do love.

1. I like video games. I'm not a gamer but when I do play I enjoy it. I enjoy it because I only play what interests me. However, the reason I probably don't love video games is because I lose my patience after wasting over an hour trying to beat a level. I simply give up and turn it off and go pick up a book.

2. I like school. Although this really should be I USED to like school. But nahh. I do. I like learning I find it intriguing. I just wish the teachers and professors and the overall school system actually cared about having students learn rather than regurgitating information.

3. I like going on walks. I'm not athletic. But I do like being able to go on long walks and having time to slow down and just think about everything and anything.

4. I like Walmart. Sue me. (Not literally). Walmart was the first place I realized I could buy some of the books I wanted (assuming they had it) at a lower price than at a normal bookstore! It blew my mind that I could do this. Walmart is actually the place I got Half-Blood Prince. And it has also become the place I buy all my movies from. It's cheaper and I can get the DVD-BluRay-3DBluRay combo for like 30 bucks or less sometimes. Whereas other places I'd be paying almost 40 or more. Meh. I dig it.

5. I like people watching. I hate people but boy do I love/like people watching. People are so fascinating when they're not talking to you and you can just observe. Wait that sounds creepy...Never mind. 

Five Things I Love

This is for May the Second. I know I'm behind!

Five Things I love:

*Disclaimer: we all know I love my family and friends. Enough of that mushy gushy stuff so I won't talk about them. And there's the Mother's Day entry coming up so that'll have all that junk.

1. I love food. Seriously. I'm a fat ass. I can't get enough of it. Except for several vegetables and liver/heart/any sort of guts. Ew. My mom tries to feed me chicken guts. Disgusting. But back on track. Being Mexican I looovee our Mexican dishes. I love Chinese food and any other Asian food. And a good ole cheeseburger sounds delicious from time to time. Also I've always wanted to try escargot. That's snail for you people that don't know what it is. Maybe it's cause of the five years of French I've been taking, but seriously. I want to try it.

2. I love Harry Potter. The book series. Duh. The films. I own all the movies and all the books. Two copies of the second and third books. I'm not even sure how I got those second copies  but whatever. I own them. I have a Harry Potter blanket. A Harry Potter towel. I have 1-4 of the games. I have magazines that talked about the third and fourth film when they came out. They're old magazines. I have a calendar of Chamber of Secrets. That's a really old calendar. Don't sue me. Along with a page of shiny stickers. I have Harry Potter pillow cases. I got a sweatshirt once because it had the Ravenclaw colors. I still own it. I have pictures of when I went to the midnight release of the DH books. I still plan to buy and own more HP stuff.

3. I love my dogs. I love dogs in general. But seriously my dogs are always happy to see me and there's just something special about that pure love they have for you. It's irreplaceable. And makes my cold heart melt. And this may be weird but I don't just consider them my dogs. To me they are my family as well.

4. I love music. I love it when I'm feeling happy and want to dance around and sing along. I love it when I'm sad and my heart is yearning for those words that only a song can truly say.

5. I love reading and writing. This is self explanatory. I have a blog. Duh.

May

This post is meant for May the First. I know I'm behind. Shut it.

Ohh May, it's Spring. We have our hot days and our cold days. It's a mix of everything and anything.

There are so many things to look forward to in May. The end of the school year for me, and the beginning of summer. Iron Man 3 comes out. The Great Gatsby  movie. And a new  book by one of my favorite authors. The author of The Kite Runner. I love his writing and I've sobbed throughout reading both of his books. So I can't wait to cry with this new one!

I also know I'll be able to get more writing done! So yay! 90 pages on my story and I know I'll be writing tons more. There are only five more chapters left for Part One.

See Part One of my story is titled "Discovered." And yep you've guessed it. It's about my characters getting discovered which will in turn lead to their fame. But the first 16 chapters are what makes up "Discovered." The first five introduced each of the main characters. The next five chapters went over their problems that they have in their lives ultimately ending with an event that will bind them together forever. The 11th chapter is a bonus chapter with a different POV. It was kind of fun writing it because it's not in the main characters' POV's. And the character is not a villain, but he is an antagonist almost. So it was fun writing about life through the eyes of someone who frankly doesn't give a f**k.

And then the last five chapters all center around my characters' auditions. They've all got different motivations for being there and they're all still dealing with the event that happens in chapter 10. But there they are being discovered.

Part Two I'm not sure how I will split it up yet. I just know things will be changing. I'm excited to see it play out. And for anyone reading this post and currently reading my story here's a tease: Part Two is titled "Journey." And if you're all smart cookies like I know you are then yes you've guessed it, it'll deal with their journey to fame!

Now since my birthday is in May I decided to start a semi month long project. Who am I? This whole month we will explore who I am. This will be partly so whoever is reading this gets to know me and so I can hopefully find myself. Now not every single post will be about me. I will still talk about other things and by the end of the month maybe we'll figure out who I am.

Uh?

This is meant for Tuesday April 30th. I know I'm behind by a lot.

Uhhh so these next few days are and have been really busy. I've been trying to finish the semester strong, we'll see how that goes.

I hate how everything seems to accumulate with no end in sight.

I hate the essays I have to do before the end of the semester.

I hate finals. I hate my classes (not really)  but it's just at that point in the semester when I hate it all.

Gah. What am I to do?

So I know this is a sucky post  but it's a post nonetheless. I also have plans for a semi month long writing project. More of that in the next post. So I'm kind of excited to do it since the last one I really did was February and the 14 days of love. And I guess sorta April with the poems.

To conclude I leave you with a mind boggling realization. Every single book you've ever read, every single post I've made on my blog. It has all just been a compilation of just twenty-six letters. Isn't that crazy?
