I just saw Annie's post about being a perfectionist and I figure I should put in my 2 cents as well. I probably won't be blogging much (if at all) until I get a new blog up and running. At this rate, it will probably take three million years for that to happen, just so you know. Why? Because CHOOSING A BLOG NAME AND FINDING A GOOD TEMPLATE IS SO BLOODY HARD. That's why.
There's a reason "C's Reverie" has stayed "C's Reverie" for 4 years now... and it's not because "C's Reverie" is such an awesome name for a blog. Hell, it's probably the worst name anyone's ever come up with. For the new blog, I wanted to use "Oh My Blog" but apparently that's taken. So is "Blame it on the nargles" and "That Random Weird Girl". So yeah. Don't be surprised if my new blog name ends up being something totally strange like, "You're So Voluptuous" or "Frangipani Heaven" or "CynthiaisinlovewithJerichoBarronslikeOMG".
Just thought I should warn you guys.
I started reading his chapter reviews on the Hunger Games and his commentary on it is pretty funny and informative - even though I've already read the series. And then I click on his "Mark Reads Twilight" reviews and his whole tone changes.
He HATES the series. Like absolutely HATES it. All his reviews each chapter of Twilight sounds something like:
Chapter 1:In which I regrettably begin to read Twilight and it’s clear I’m going to hate every moment of this...
Chapter 2:In which Mark realizes very early how unrealistic and creepy this book is by the second chapter...
Chapter 7:In which Mark declares this book as the very worst book ever almost entirely based on how Bella surfs the Internet, and then learns that she gets emo over Linkin Park. This is AWFUL...
Chapter 12:In which Mark reviews the entire chapter using only two images...Until it ends with:
Mark Finishes Twilight – In which Mark decides he cannot live in a household with these four books still existing in it, so he hides them all around Los Angeles with notations to read this very blog. Again, sometimes I’m too clever for my own good. Oh well. As far as I know, no one has ever found the books and contacted me about them. Maybe I’ll never know what happened to them.
I read Twilight back in Year 6 and actually, I really liked it. That was back when no-one knew what Twilight was. Then there was the phase where EVERYONE loved Twilight and you would see girls carrying copies around at school etc. Now its gone to the "IF YOU LOVE TWILIGHT WE WILL COME KILL YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND DUMP YOUR BODY IN PROSPECT CREEK" stage. But seriously, do people have to hate so much? ITS JUST A BOOK FOR GOD'S SAKE. I know the themes and characters piss people off but c'mon. No one's forcing anyone to read it. But I guess it can't be helped that Twilight is synonymous with "screaming 15 year olds who love Robert Pattinson". I swear, the movie gets more exposure than the book does.
But I digress.
I've gone WAYYY off topic. What I wanted to say was despite all my disapproval towards the Twilight hate, I TOTALLY LOVE THIS GUY'S REVIEWS. Seriously, for Chapter 12 of Eclipse he got sick of writing about it and decided to only comment on the chapter using Mean Girls quotes.
e.g:
■Alice: "Don't be a baby about this. No tantrums."
Boo, you whore.
■"So you're--I mean we're--having a graduation party. It's no big thing. Nothing to freak out over. But I saw you would freak out if I tried to make it a surprise party"--she danced out of the way as Edward reached over to muss her hair--"and Edward said I had to tell you. But it's nothing. I promise."
She thinks she's gonna have a party and invite me? Who does she think she is? I like INVENTED her, you know what I mean?
■"But on the other hand," he countered, "you will soon be leaving time altogether. So why should the transitory customs of one local culture affect the decision so much?"
It's true. At your age, Bella, you're going to have a lot of urges. You're going to want to take off your clothes and touch Edward. But if you do touch him, you WILL get chlamydia. And die.
& my favourite:
■"So your condition...?"
"Is still in effect. I do see your point, Bella, but if you want me to change you myself..."
"Dum, dum, dah-dum," I hummed under my breath. I was going for the wedding march, but it sort of sounded like a dirge.
Why should Edward just get to stomp around like a giant while the rest of us try not to get smushed under his big feet? Bella is just as cute as Edward, right? Bella is just as smart as Edward, people totally like Bella just as much as they like Edward, and when did it become okay for one person to be the boss of everybody because that's not what
Rome is about! We should totally just STAB EDWARD!

Today, I realised that if you knew my name + school, you could stalk me via google. It would come up with a list of links and one of them led to this page. I've changed the settings now so that people don't stumble onto this page randomly. It's not that I have a problem with randoms, its just that on this page, I sometimes bitch about things that might offend some people...
Like now.
Mr. Downsyndrome, you are a gaybo and I hate you >:( I AM NOT BRINGING SCIENCE WORK TO AMERICA! Like, WTFFF?! Today, when I told him that I wasn't going to be here for four weeks, he gave me a death stare and said, "WHY are you telling this to me now? Do you want me to run around at the last minute preparing work for you?"
Errr.. NO! Who said anything about extra work? Not me. I just wanted you to know that, in case we have anything important coming up. FAR OUT! I already gave a note to the office about my early leave. I've done everything I should've done so just STOP with the why-are-you-not-responsible shit. You can take your science hw and ----- &%$#@
Ms S, you are also a gaybo. Why the hell do I need to go typequick tomorrow to record my results? What's wrong with telling them to you now? During the whole typequick course, I've been staring at my results 10000 times and NOW you call me back to record them. Gee, isn't that smart.
Mr N is also a gaybo - but that's self-explanatory.
Mr. J (tutor), I hate you as well. Why do you have to make me do a test the day before I go? I have a life okay. Please don't make me do a test that I haven't prepared for, espcially one that I didn't even know was on, until the day before.
& who's the gayest of them all, you ask? Well, Ms H of course. She also gave me a you-just-made-my-life-harder-glare when I said I was going to the US. I think she was pissed coz I wasn't going to be here for the test. That's not my problem, I warned her a week ago that I was leaving and she chose to remember now. Again, NOT MY PROBLEM!
Phew, now that I've gotten that out of my system, I feel much better. I can now go back to acting normal at school instead of having a black cloud hanging over me the whole day. I swear, I just wanted some people get struck by lightning today...
Anyway, this is why I need to protect my blog from unwanted visitors. I really don't want people stumbling onto this blog by accident.... especially people who'll get offended by what I write.
I think I'll end off now with a POTO reference (HAHA, you thought that for once, I wasn't going to mention Phantom of the Opera, didn't you? Well tough luck).
(as she attempts to leave the first
time)Carlotta: Andiamo.
Tutti. No, es finito. Is finished. Get my doggy, bring my doggy. Bye-bye.
Bye-bye, dancing girls. Bye-bye. See you later, because I'm going now. It is
finished.See you later.Lefevre: Gentlemen,
good luck. If you need me, I shall be in Australia.
Well, if you need me, I'll (soon) be in america. Goodbye and goodnight :)
