Day 25: Lord of The Rings vs Harry Potter and Fanfiction Un-Addiction

Hello and Welcome to my blog.

 Firstly, who else agrees that LOTR's is absolutely amazing? The landscape, characters, story-line, emotional triggers ans scenes... Man, I just can't get over it. In some ways I say it's better then the Harry Potter movies. LOTR has characters you can connect to more, beautiful scenery (much better then the dark halls of Hogwarts...) and even though there's only three movies, they're so absorbing and interesting.
 Harry Potter is good, but there are a lot of things that you just can't compare to Lord of The Rings. Anyway, comment down below and tell me which you prefer!

 Secondly, something serious has changed about me. I've now admitted to myself that writing bleach fan fiction is painfully boring to me. I've been trying to write some of my FF called A Step In Your World (c), but it failed. I think it's because the story is too boring for me, the characters are flat and bland, and it was a hateful project. My copyright on it is still strong and firm (so if anyone even dares to write, claim, or distrubute it at all, I will sue their ass), but I'm abandoning it for now. I'm moving on to bigger and better things, things that are original and fun to write. Of course I'm still writing other fan fictions for things like Assassin's Creed, Fallout: New Vegas, Red vs Blue, and possibly some Bleach, just not ASIYW. So fan fiction is still in my life, it's just gonna be a little different. :)

Thanks for reading,
Laura.

Day 24: Drawing!








Hello and welcome to my blog!

Day 23: Awesome People of Awesome-ness.

Hello and Welcome to my blog!

So a idea just randomly popped in my mind and I thought I should do it! Right now I'm gonna make a list of awesome people, where you can find them, and what they do.

1) AishaxNekox. Aisha is a drawer and you can find her on DeviantART or YouTube. She has epic drawing skills and is a all around cool person (well, from what us Internet fans can tell).

Her DeviantART: http://aishaxnekox.deviantart.com/
Her YouTube: http://www.YouTube.com/AishaNeko.

2) Humon. Humon is another artist from DeviantART. She's a friendly Danish woman (speaks fluent English) who draws comics that can make a person literally "lol". Some of her art is more 18+ material, so she may not be the best choice for young kids. I definitely suggest you check her out!

Her DeviantART: http://humon.deviantart.com/

3) DudeLikeHELLA. DudeLikeHELLA is a video vlogger who's just awesome. His name is Cory Williams, a actor and professional You Tuber. I strongly suggest you check him out if you like comedy, madness, and just plain weird stuff.

His YouTube: http://www.YouTube.com/DudeLikeHELLA.

4) RabbitBleachFan. Rabbit is a writer and the person who inspired me to write fan fiction. She also writes fan fictions mostly for the anime Bleach. If you like that kind of stuff, check her out on Fanfiction.net

Her FF.net: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2372534/RabbitBleachFan

5) TribeTwelve & EverymanHYBRID. Do you like horror? Ever heard of Slender man? Like having the absolute crap scared out of you? Then these are the people for you! TribeTwelve and EverymanHYBRID are two different YouTube channels devoted to Slender man and his allies, they're cleverly filmed and always make you paranoid afterwards. WARNING: Children under the age of 13 should not watch these videos.

Day 22: Blood Tests and Silly Kids.

Hello and Welcome to my blog. :)

Ah, where to start.
Yesterday I went to a clinic and got some blood taken for a check-up. The doctor just called and informed me that there was, well, bad stuff. I'm not naming it for personal reasons. There's gonna be a lot of changes in my life from now on, and I'm probably gonna be taking medication. I'm probably overreacting, but the problem they found in my blood will get worse if I don't stop it. And trust me, it's gonna be a bitch to kill. Ha ha.

Anyway. Other then the blood tests, some stuff happened in my life yesterday. One of my friends, let's call her "Gretchen", had a fit and we've stopped talking. It was absolutely ridiculous. You know why she had a fit? Well, I'll tell you. I'm writing a story, it's one of the most precious things to me in the world. I was gonna ask two of my writer buddies to look at it and give me their opinion. I knew I could trust them to give me a impartial answer because they've trusted me with their stories before too, and they're all around good people.

 So "Gretchen" heard that I was going to ask them and was pissed because I didn't ask her. She started having a fit and saying things like "fuck friends! Especially the ones who think your opinions are dumb". That was her Gmail status. It was so stupid. I mean really? When she asked why she wasn't going to see the story I said "Because I need a impartial opinion." I bet she didn't even know what that meant...

 Then she blew up and started spewing all sorts of things that made no sense. She even tried to state a copyright claim on my character Jona. The only part of Jona she has ANYTHING to do with is the name. She didn't come up with her looks, personality, abilities, NOTHING. "Gretchen" wanted me to use
her version of Jona's background, and I said yes, but never added it because "Gretchen" is not her owner.

 All and all, I'm glad I don't have to deal with her dramatic, violent, narrow-visioned and perverse personality anymore. Honestly, I'm ready to move and get into the world, and find someone who can be my writer buddy.

 Even though the past two days have been bad, and even though the blood results will have a impact on my future, it's ok. Because now I'm free of old friends who have no interest in me, and can roam to find new ones. Even though it's a dark time, I have to remember that after the dark is dawn. And the dawn is coming! (Dark Knight Quote FTW!)

Thanks for reading,
Laura.

Day 20: Manga Reviews

 Hey guys, it's me and I'm here so review and suggest some manga! Before we get started, let me say, our opinion may differ. OK, now that that's been addressed, let's get started. I'll be reviewing two manga's today, Pandora Hearts and Black Butler.

1. Pandora Hearts by Jun Mochizuki.

 Pandora Hearts is a fantasy manga with a beautiful art-style and a very interesting story-line. All the characters are unique and interesting, each having their own personality and looks. Once you get into the story it's easy to become attached to the characters because of the thought put into them. When it comes to the mysterious characters, all you want to do is know more about them. Another good thing about Pandora hearts in the emotion that comes along with everything else. It's such a emotional and heart-felt manga, and can make a person teary-eyed at certain points. That's what got me hooked when I read the first manga, it was a refreshing change to what I normally read and had that touch of thoughtfulness no one can miss.

 I definitely recommend this manga to anyone looking for some good laughs and a whole lot of fun. I'm not done with the series yet, but I give it a 4½ out of 5 for.

*

2. Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji) by Yana Toboso.

 Black Butler is definitely a interesting manga. It has a great art-style and a mysterious story-line. I always enjoy reading the manga because of the mystery and horror it offers. The characters are also entertaining, whether it's comedy or seriousness, they all seem to pull it off. All of the characters are likable in their own way, and I'm always switching through favorites. It's a more darker manga and referred to people ages 13+ because there are some scenes that aren't good for children. It's a great manga and I recommend it to anyone who likes comedic horror. 4/5.

That's all for today! Hopefully you guys will check these out, cause they're AWESOME. Anyway, thanks for reading!

Day 19: My Top 5 Hottest Anime Guys (I think)

I made "Awesome Anime Guys" but this is COMPLETELY different. These are some of my all-time favorite Anime guys.








 1. Xerxes Break from Pandora Hearts.







 





2. Gilbert Nightray from Pandora Hearts












3. The Undertaker from Black Butler.













4. Grimmjow Jeagerjaques from Bleach.















5. Kakashi Hakate from Naruto.









Aaaaaaaaand that's all she wrote. After making this list, I realized something... I think I have a thing for guys with white/silver hair. Not just because 3/5 guys had that hair color, but because if Grimmjow wasn't so hot, I would've probably picked Stein from Soul Eater. That would've been 4/5 guys with white hair. omg. Also, Grell from Black Butler would've been here, but I couldn't find a good picture of him <sad-face>.

Thanks for reading, bye~!

Day 18: Not the Same Anymore -Rant-

Nothing stays the same nowadays. Leaves change color, the sun rises, the moon falls, the wind gets hotter and people start walking around. Animals shed, and most of the good TV channels are dead.

Every week, every day, things change. Nature, animals, people and feelings. Nothing stays the same for more then a minute, even if your sitting. Sometimes we don't even notice the change until it's already complete, and it can be upsetting.

 People seem to change the most. Personalities, likes, dislikes, opinions, they can all change so fast we don't even know what's going on. Some people love change, they just can't wait for something new to come along! But there are people who don't like change. For those people, change can be scary. It means there'll be something different in their lives that they might not be familiar with.
 Some people are afraid of their friends changing, because then they might move on. Others are afraid of moving into a new place, completely leaving their homes behind for something new.
 Personally, I try to embrace change. In fact, there have been a lot of changes in my life lately. Some good, some bad.

The bad things aren't very fun, but the good things make it much better. Some people I know have been saying I've changed personality wise, actually, a lot of people have made that comment.
But the truth is, my personality hasn't changed at all. In fact, it's at it's all-time-high. All my life I've always been hesitant to say what I want, or speak my true opinions. All that holding back finally caught up with me while I was on my Vacation in San Diego. I tried my best to ignore it, but once I got home it hit again, harder. I barely came out of my room for a week, and basically snarled at anyone who came within 5ft of me. Any inspiration for writing was gone and I forced myself to write simple things. Nothing was interesting, I only  wanted to bitch-slap my friends so they'd understand what I wanted to tell them.

It got to the point where I just needed to get over it, but I was still angry. Finally I saw my mom, she'd been away for the entire week at a friends house. I opened up to her and talked about how I'd been sad, and kept going for 3 hours. Seriously. Three hours. Afterwards I felt ok again.

Looking back on it, I know I've been screwing myself over. That week was unbearable, and I never want it to happen again. So, I'm going to change how I work. Like I said in a earlier post, I'm gonna be myself from now on. And so start off, I'm gonna post a meme I did. It's the "I hate List" meme, and I decided to do it a few weeks ago. It's been growing pretty fast, and is completely honest. So, without further ado, I'm gonna paste it below.

***

So yeah, that's what I have so far. It's not meant to be taken seriously, but I do dislike all the things listed (I don't hate anything on the list. Theres no point in that). :)
Alright, this is already painfully long, so I'm gonna end this post here.

Thanks for reading!
