*Insert Title Here*

In all honesty, I am what people call misunderstood. It is not that I am mentally retarded, I just voice my opinion too much at inappropriate times, but also, I have a habit of not saying what I believe when it is truly needed.

However, whoever you, whatever you may believe, voice your opinion and let others do as well. They can either come up as genius or as dumb, depending on who you talk to.

If there is one thing I can teach you, it is procrastination. It's gone to the point where not only do I procrastinate, but avoid the situation all together. My pointe shoes have been dead for a while, yet I never seem to be able to get around to replacing them with new ones. I have been barefoot for a while.

Yes, that is all I have to say.

With love,

Squid ward and Spongebob

Today was ver inconsistent when it comes down to it. I was feeling normal in the morning, despite the fact that I woke up way too early. Then, at Drivers Ed, o was feeling happy with the Arizona Tea and boys who look like Spongebob and Squidward telling me how nice and pretty I looked (I think they were just being nice, since they complimented on how pretty my shirt's color looked on me).

I do not know, and I believe that I am not with the earth at this very moment.

With love,

Violet Sar Bleu

P.S. I am not mad, just feeling out of it.

All that Jazz

Remember when I said that everyone has a different perspective on life, so we cannot assume what is right for every person? Hopefully, you remembered.

I like to go with the flow, be the willow that goes with the wind. Planning things out are not my favorite things to do. I like to live naturally.

Of course, I am a very laidback person, but it is ok if some people are uptight. If it works, then so be it.

I guess that is all I have to say.

With love,

Piece of Advice

One day, you will be an amazing person that will be happy that will fall in love with someone great that will marry your perfect match. I vow that this has to happen. If it does not, I severely apologize because all I want is the best for you. Not the worst, not the in between, the best.

Here is a list that you have to promise that you will achieve one day.

1. Experience a life changing event that is not fatal.

2. Remember who you are as a person and become the best "you" you can be and it does not matter who does not like it, including me.

3. Be happy.

True happiness, in my opinion, does not come from materialistic things. Things that make me happy are not good grades, money, or food. However, I do feel temporary joy from them. Little things where it is undescrible, where there is nothing to show, nothing to eat, but the feeling that you recieve from it. If something is undescrible, that is proof that it is utterly amazing.

Piece of advice folks, I am happy. I am not depressed or mad, just in peace right now. Hopefully, you are happy, in the most non materialistic way.

By the way, it is a full moon and it looks beautiful.

With love,

Even though they love one another, it does not mean they are meant to be together.

Sad as it sounds, loving someone is not always enough in order for them to be yours. Timing is a factor as well. People can fall in love too fast, too early, too late, or at the right time. And most reasons why people do not end up in a relationship quickly, or to the worst, at all. We cannot always count on lust, infatuation, or misunderstandings because it is usually timing.

What a sad world we live in.

Anyway, hopefully you had a nice weekend and comment below what you did over it.

With love,

Instigators, Horror Films, Volunteering, DPS

In my mind, we fight our own battles, meaning that we choose them as well. No one forces us to do anything, but because of our own liking to be correct, we fight the dumb ones anyway. I am telling you this because a lot of people in my life are instigators. They love to stir up trouble when trouble is not needed, which is never. Taking a small conflict and making it bigger than it actually is makes the instigator look dumb in my mind. Why make anything larger or more influential than it actual is?

For example, my stepsister is an instigator. She loves to stir up trouble between my dad and I. Even though my dad and I do not get along well already, she decides to make the situation even more difficult on the both of us. It is stupid. She makes him make a bigger deal over something so small that it does not deserve to be an argument. For instance, she made him a card for Christmas, but my sister and I did not. Why? You may be thinking that I am a bad child, but if anyone has ever read my day in life post, I do not have time for anything. I am lucky enough that I have time for myself because usually on the weekends, I volunteer or doing my homework or doing this blog for you all. Now, I am not blaming you for this. I love blogging. It is just that arguing over not making a card is pretty stupid. And why should I give him a card? To be honest, he has not done anything for me, and I will not do anything for him. It is plain and simple. And, I have not made a card for my mother since I was 10. I am 15. Not 10. Remember that. If my dad wants one of my old portraits of Medusa or Andrew Jackson or Edward Scissorhands, he can grab one. I do not care.

Of course, I prevent myself from bringing up the topic in the first place because I know he will get mad. It is just his nature. I do not want to argue or make his blood pressure shoot threw the roof over something stupid. But, my stepsister thinks she is so sly, but she forgets that is my conflict. It is mine. I play the cards. She does not.

So, if you have a person in your life that causes trouble for you, remember that in the end, it is up to you of how much it can influence you. As much as anger is contagious, calmness is too. Promise.

Another topic I want to address is horror films. Is it me or not horror films are scary, but the fact that they are just disgusting? I am mean there is a difference between using blood and gore in order to portray a horrorifying act and using it too far. I mean there is a line.

I mean some horror films are unbearable to watch because of the suspense, the subject, etc. But if I am watching a film and wonder how much fake blood and fake flesh they have to use in order to portray the image, there is something wrong. Don't get me wrong, I like good horror films. But, most are just terribly portrayed and directed.

Last but not least volunteering. Today I worked at a carnival type fundraiser at a rich neighborhood in order to do some volunteer work. Let's just say, I had to man the Bounce House, and kids love to make scenes. It is so hard to get kids off the Bounce House and it was chaotic. But, it was a better job than my last one, since the adults actually cared about my well being (hair was pulled from my scalp). My other one was a festival and I was greeting people at the front door and telling them where everything is. I hated that job because one: the people are so rude, two: the people who were suppose to take over my shift came around an hour late, three: I was annoying myself because I had to sound "perky". Yeah.

My worst experience with a stranger either has to be at the DPS, elevator, or volunteer work. At the DPS, there are three types of people, nice people, creepy people, and intimidating people I hated the DPS. It was just a bad place. At my first visit, two old men were staring at my sister and I. It was to the point where we moved away from them, but they moved closer and we moved again next to this tatted up guy, thank god they stopped. Thank you, tatted up guy. It was scary. At my volunteer work, I was confronted by alot of nice people, but some of them were extremely rude. I do not want to go into more detail on that because it was pretty bad.

Yeah, this all happened to me. Ugh, what a long day. I have to go do some homework, so I will talk to you later.

Comment Question: What is your worse experience with a stranger?

A Day in Life

Here is a schedule of my life. I just wanted you all to get to know me better, so here we go :).

At 6:15 a.m., after I finally stop pressing the snooze button, which wakes me up at 6:00 a.m., I wake up and dread the day that is yet to come. I wake up my sister and walk into the bathroom in order to brush my teeth, wash my face, put on sunscreen, and all that good stuff.

I walk into my room by 6:20 a.m., 6:25 on a bad day, and I get dress. Usually I just pull out a pair of jeans and a t-shirt or a sweater and put on my TOMS or flats and call it a day. On a bad day, I will put on sweatpants, and it is usually when I am not feeling well or my body is aching.

By 6:30, I am downstairs and put on a jacket or sweater if it is cold, which rarely happens, and put whatever I need to in my bookbag and grab some breakfast, usually something random like Maria Biscuits and chocolate milk.

By 6:40, my mother and sister are both downstairs, and my sister starts the car. I usually just sit down and do nothing. My mother readies her things and by around 6:45, we are out of the house.

The drive from my house to my school is pretty quick, and I am usually half-awake.

By the time I am at school, my sister and I walk into the commons and sit down with our friends and either stay in peace and not talk and be in comfortable silence or talk whatever we need to say or sleep, whichever is preferred at the moment.

7:20 is when my first class starts, English. We study Shakespeare and talk about the relationship of Julius Caesar and argue if it should be called the Tragedy of Julius Caesar or the Tragedy of Marcus Brutus. Fun, I know.

Next class begins around 8:45 and it is physics, again another fun class. Here, we study the basics of physics from force to electrostatic stuff to equillibruim of charges based on the distance between the charges and the magnitude of the charge.

By 9:20, I am in art. There, either I am working on a clay pot (which I finished), a soap sculpture (which I am working on), or working on a portrait (which I finished a long time ago). Either those three things.

Fourth class is Chemistryy. I am doing fine in that class. I just do not like the people in it, the students.

Fifth class is Algelbra II. I am bored there, as many teenagers are. We have a break in the middle, lunch. I usually use that time to do portraits and sketches instead of actually eating since I am not hungry at that moment.

After that, I go to World History. Again, another dreaded class. It is not the teacher. It is the material. I cannot wait until we are going into World War II.

Last class of the day is Spanish. I read short stories and poems in there and interpret them and that is pretty much it.

School day ends at 2:30 p.m.

I ride the bus home and listen to music on the way there because kids on my bus are annoying. Do you have that problem with kids on the bus?

I am home by 2:50 p.m. because of the walk from my bus stop to my home. I eat at home for lunch and usually just chill out and call to my parents that I am home.

By 4:30 p.m., I showered and have to head out to Drivers Ed from Monday to Thursday. Class starts at 5:00 p.m. and ends at 7:00 p.m. and I dread every minute of it. I am pretty much keeping awake through Arizona Tea.

By 7:00 p.m., either I change for a 30 min dance class (pretty short, but better than nothing, scheduling problems), or if class is canceled, I change into my pyjamas and eat some dinner.

I do my homework and finish it. After that, I watch YouTube videos and work on my projects until I am tired. I brush my teeth and wash my face before bed and usually sleep around 11:30 p.m. or midnight or 11:00 p.m. on a good day.

That is a day in my life. Nothing really important. This is a school day and on the weekends I pretty much do nothing but homework, watch T.V., watch YouTube, and volunteer.

What is a day in your life like? Are we similiar? Are we different? How?

With Love,

Violet Sar Bleu

P.S. Try a drink called Arnold Palmer. Half Lemonade. Half Iced Tea. Wholesome goodness.

Happiness is Key, but I do not have the Key to Happiness

My morals and beliefs make me believe this: everyone deserves happiness in the most unharmful way as possible. I am not telling that people should do illegal things, but they should not think that life is torture. Life is beautiful, believe it or not. Existing is torture. If you are not living in a life that you want to live, set yourself free, unlock those handcuffs, and do what you want to do. I know it is not simple. I know that you have people to take care of and cannot drop everything and leave. I know that I do not have the key to happiness for everyone because everyone has a different lock. Everyone needs a different key to unlock the gate, a different path also.

How have you've been? I wonder about you. I hope you are ok.

With love,

Violet Sar Bleu

P.S. I am thinking of changing my pseudonym.

Year of Hibernation

Thanks to my teachers and my dance instructor, I do not have that much work to do this weekend. Therefor, I took advantage of it, trying to live life as the best that I can possibly do. Remember, sometimes, being lazy and just sitting around listening to music is a good thing. By the way, I still need to finish listening to the new album I bought.

Sitting around drinking tea and listening to music makes me calm, makes me peaceful again. I no longer need to blame society on my problems anymore.

Ranting has been almost no longer in existence in my body anymore. I am pretty groggy from the productive weekend I had. Watching Perks, listening to The Smiths, and just being in my pajamas, and hanging out with the people I love most makes me want to leave. If I were to choose how to love my life, it will not be like this, but we cannot always pick and choose. We can only change the direction of how we go about our faith.

What have you been up to?

With love,

Violet Sar Bleu

Perks, Grimaldi's, and The Smiths

Yesterday was extremely great day. Not because I received something, but because I found something I already loved and fell in love all over again. Sounds stupid, I know, but let me tell you how the day went down.

First, I woke up at 9:30 and listened to music and eat breakfast which consisted of a granola bar, apple, and hazelnut and artichoke tea, which is my favorite tea by the way. And I just hanged out on the couch with my sister doing nothing.

Later, my mom called me and told me to get ready by 12:30 to grab some pizza.

At Grimaldi's, my mom was crazy enough to let us buy two large pizzas with sausage, pepperoni, meatballs, and olives. Of course, we did not finish it. I only ate 4 slices of pizza, and the people put on alot of olives, so I was having a gagging moment ever so often. We had to take some to go.

After lunch, we went to Whit House/Black Market to return a dress my mom did not like.

Amy and I decided to go to Barnes and Noble to get new CDs because we are in desoerate need of one. I found The Smiths, which makes me so happy, I was literally going to have a meltdown from allof the excitement. My sister found Perks of Being a Wallflower movie. Of course, I have been avoiding that since forever because I do not want to be disappointed, since I read the book and everything.

We later went home. I filmed a video, and Amy went outside. Then, we watched Perks of Being a Wallflower and ate Girl Scout Cookies. Let me just tell you, now, one of my favorite movies. It is just so wonderful, brave, and powerful. It is just what anyone wants to here, so thank you, Stephen Chbosky.

Yep, that was my day, yesterday. Today was even better since I got myself some Arizona Tea. Yum :).

Acne, Cookie Season, and Drivers Ed

For the past week, I have been taking Drivers Ed. Lets just say it is the most boring class I have ever taken in my entire life. Everyone is just looking at the clock ever so often to see when we can get out, even the teacher. Yep, a very boring class with pictures, gory drunk driving videos, and boring, not well edited videos.

Along with my boredom comes acne. I have been breakout a bit, and it has been getting on my nerves. It will go away soon though.

But will not go away is that I have been losing weight and my face looks bluer than usual. I do not believe that I am, but my family and friends have been commenting on it for a while. Hopefully, I will look normal again soon. My face is also looking more translucent and pale, so a visit to my doctor is well needed.

The good thing in my life right now is that it is Girl Scout Cookie Season. Yesterday, I bought the Samoa cookies, a.k.a Caramel Delights (why would you change the name of the cookie from Samoas to Caramel Delights). But yeah. I also bought some Lemonades, a favorite of my sister's.

This post is pretty boring, just my life, just wanted you to know what has been going on with me.

With Love,

Portraits and Ash Wednesday Dilemmas

Do you realize how difficult it is to make a face look alive on paper with its eyes closed? I mean seriously, my portrait looks like a corpse, and I hate it. It looks dead. She looks worse than a zombie, worse than Medusa. However, I believe that Medusa is not ugly, it is probably just the eyes. Yes, I have been working on portraits, and usually, I can make eyes look alive and the eyes usually save me, but I had to make a portrait with eyes closed. Although it is good to be challenged, this is too difficult. It is not the shading that is making me have troubles, but the idea of making it look alive.

Every single Ash Wednesday, some how I eat meat. I do not mean to eat meat and never do, but one Ash Wednesday I eat meat. This year was dumplings. I do not do it on purpose. Next year, I better not do it.

On Fat Tuesday, I had king cake. Have you ever had it? It is like a huge cinnamon roll with icing and excess amount of sugar. Just do not get the baby or you have buy it next year.

My dance studio have taken me out of performing and as a person to test choreography on, kind of like a guinea pig. In our studio we have to get choreography approved through video, and I am the one who dances in the videos now. Yep, no more performing, no more makeup :).

Yes, and I am still watching Our2ndLife on YouTube, and please check them out :).
thespookyghostboy is my favorite artist along with Youth Lagoon, so yeah check them out as well :).

Human Nature

We as humans are stupid, weird, imperfect, curious, and many other adjectives. However, our stupidity and curiousity of our minds take over and tip us a bit to far. Yes, I am talking about all of us. We pick our own battles, not the other way around. There is a time to shoot a bullet, avoid the situation over all, drop a nuclear bomb, and know when to attack at the right time. But, we do not realize sometimes when to do it because our anger or our doubt takes over and tell us what to do wrong when we know what to do right. Stupid consicience. It can make mistakes as we do all the time. However, I am not here to tell that we are imperfect. I am here to tell us dumb things that we do, but never realize that they are so idiotic until they are done. Let's get started.

1. Making a person mad when they are having a very good day.
I do not know about you, but I rarely have a good day. I do not know why. The universe does what it wants to do, and I try not to blame it on people. Have you ever had a great day, but that one person just ruins it all? I have, and it makes me more mad than if I was having a bad day. At least when I have a bad day, I know that I am mad and accept it right away and have time to rant in my mind about how my day sucks. But when a person just decides to get me angry for whatever reason when they know that I am happy, they are dead. Let me be happy because it does not happen often.

2. Taking playful teasing to heart.
In all honesty, I love to tease my friends (playfully of course), and my friends love to tease me back (playfully of). However, some people take too hard. I know when I need stop, and I know my limits. Some people need to learn the difference between rude and funny and the line between it. Whenever I tease, I do not mean it literally, and my friends know that so do not take it to heart.

3. Taking every word I say literally.
Sarcasm is my tool, and I use it everday. By the tone of my voice, we would believe that people would know when I kid. But some people do not realize the difference. Crazy, I know.

4. Falling in and out of love too fast and too hard.
This is especially know in teenagers. Most love stories happen unexpectandly, and please do not expect a Nicholas Sparks romance because it is not real, and someone always ends up dying or having a disease or leaving. So, take it slow, do not fall and fall fast and hard because the outcome is very harsh and terrible.

5. Understanding humor.
I have different sides of me. A harsh me, a nice me, and a reserved me. And we all have different sides of ourselves, and with different sides, we have different types of humor. I have a very dry and sarcastic humor while others have a more literal and goofy humor, which I respect. Of course, people do not understand it and then I am branded as rude. Thanks. This happens a lot in my school. Some people laugh at stupid jokes or things that were not meant as jokes. Please, people need to give a world a favor and learn some humor and know the difference at least.

6. Zoning out is normal, not weird.
At least 90 percent of my life is zoning out. You know when you just stare off to space and finally get out of it and back to reality, yeah that moment. Zoning out is normal. Alot of people get it, it is probably because of short attention span, or we are just tired, I do not know. However, sometimes I end up in Neverland. Population: Me. Hopefully, you know what I mean. But, some people apparently never zone out and make fun of me for it. Every person zones out at least once in their life, so please do not make fun :).

7. Word of advice. If it is not true, it should not be said.
Some people lie to please others. For the love of all things alive, please do not be one of those people. It does not make you a better person, you are essentially a liar. I know that is harsh, but do not lie to please others. Gosh darn it. I am tired of people lying to others to please them.

8. The Internet is not your diary.
Yes, I know I speak my thoughts on here, but some people literally say names of personal people that is not so kind. So, either keep the people who you hate anonymous or just keep on paper, not for the whole world to see.

9. Songs that complain about their exes are not cool, they are whiny.
This is common to many musicians nowadays *cough Taylor Swift*. I mean I bet a lot of guys are probably thinking that she is crazy and I do not want to go out with her. To me, it is inappropriate. You are not making anything anonymous, you are making it obvious. I wonder, does she just look at her long list of ex boyfriends and see which one to write about? He did not breakup with you in front of the whole world, so you should not humiliate him in front of the whole world. So, do not think for a second that you are brave, but instead, you are just obnoxious.

10. People do not realize how many things I can hold against them.
Do not threat me, I have a lot of things in my twisted little head. I may look like a sweet innocent girl, but once you push it too far, I am thinking of what type of coffin to put you in. Wood or metal. Pick your choice. Seriously, most of the time, the people in my life think that they hold the cards when I do. Most of the things I say are repeated, so there is a lot of things in my head. Be careful.

Anyway, do not get offended by this because it may not be about you. Most of the people whom this directed to will not realize it is them because I am invisible to them. Love you all and forgive me for ranting.

With love,

Violet Sar Bleu

Our 2nd Life

Lets be honest. Thank god for the Internet because if not, I would not be able to talk to you all. Good things, good things. But also, people have the freedom to say whatever they want on the Internet, except there may be serious consequences.

Reasons why I love the Internet:

1. Little to no commercials on videos.

2. You can say whatever you want.

3. It is unreliable, for scholarly information at times.

Ok, as you can tell, the title says Our 2nd Life. It is a channel on YouTube, which I strongly recommend because every person on this channel uploads a video everyday that corresponds to each week's challenges. They are all funny, and you literally need to watch it and check out their main channels as well. It is an ongoing collab channel as I type this, so be ready for new videos.

Of course, some of you need some convincing, so I put together a list.

Reasons to watch Our2ndLife on YouTube:

1. It is funny.

2. The boys' faces are not that bad ;).

3. It is ongoing.

4. There are new themes every week.

5. A different person uploads every day of the week, so you can watch your favorite person on whatever weekday, every week or you never get bored.

6. There are different types of humor.

7. Good quality videos.

8. All of the boys are from different walks of life. Ex. A radio personality, the Apple Store dance kid, a college student in Minnesota

9. Little to no commercials

10. Not boring, very funny, interesting.

Bottom line: watch them

Smile, It's good for You

Whenever I rant, or say a snipbid, I usually record it. Why? To anaylze what keeps making me mad, and what I should not worry about. Plus, they are kind of funny. Because let's be honest, when some complains about how stupid people are about the dumbest things, it pretty funny :). But do not worry, my ranting has become lower and lower, which is a good thing.

In my school, there are three types of people. People who I like, people who I don't mind, and people who I just do not like. Hopefully, you all feel the same way, but I never say those types of things.

Have you ever notice that what you think is totally different from what you say? Our brain produces thoughts that go 100 mph, but our mouths prevent us from actually saying those things. For instance, someone was talking badly about a dear friend of mine who they barely know. My thoughts were as followed (beware: very harsh). Thoughts said, "Listen here, you jerk. I do not care who you are, but apparently, you have no life but to talk about my friend. At least she/he has some other interest other than talking about others. Get a life. Also, did your parents teach you anything? I guess not. So, do not get mad if I 'accidentally' bury you alive. Do you prefer wood or metal? With wood, I can burn you. With metal, I can roast, fry, grill, however you want to be cooked. So, stop talking about my friend, or you will just get beaten so hard that the Count Censor Video will be in your head for the rest of your life". You see how twisted and mean I am. It is not good, but what are you going to do? My words are, "Can you stop? That's my friend, and can you stop talking about them?" Short, sweet, but not effective.

I mean when a mean person asks if they are nice, and you want to cough yes, but instead you say the go-to replies of "sure, ok, yeah, fine". All that jazz right there.

So remember people, it is perfectly fine to talk with your brain, and stand up to yourself. Do not be a wimp, like me. Sounds hypocritical, but be the bigger person.

With love,

Things Guys Need to Know About Girls

I saw this idea when I was watching Connor Franta's video for "Things Girls Need to Know About Guys", so I decided to do the reverse version. By the way, he has a new video up, so go watch it because it is pretty funny, as always. Links will be down below.

Girls, you can just sit back and relax. Guys, here are some pointers :).

1. You do not need to be perfect.
As we are not Barbie, we do not expect you to be Ken. I prefer if guys had their own little quirks and imperfections because it makes them more perfect, if that makes any sense.

2. Do not be intimated by us.
We are human, just like you. We get intimated by you also, so just come up to us and talk to us.

3. If you have an awkward pause in the conversation, you can go two routes, keep a comfortable silence or you can start a conversation about movies or music.
We like our quiet time and do not need a conversation to keep carry on. But, if you really want to, ask about movies, music, tv shows, etc. because it is a no brainer. She will talk to you, and it will not be that awkward.

4. We like food too.
I know my friends who are guys love food, but we do too. Seriously, give me $500 worth of food and I would do anything, except anything illegal.

5. Start a debate.
Lets be honest. We all love being right, and a debate, not a full on argument, keeps a conversation going. Do not worry, we will not hate you. It actually shows that you are intelligent and socially aware.

6. Teasing is all in good fun.
My friends and I love teasing each other. I do not know why. It is fun, and do not take any offense to it. It is all in good fun, and it just shows that she actually likes you as a person.

7. Friend zone is an unhappy place for us too.
Everyone gets friend zoned at least one time in our lives, even us girls. Shocker. We are in it with you, guys, so don't worry, we will get through it together.

8. As much as you, guys, hate hearing us talk about our ex-boyfriends, it is just as awkward for us to hear about your ex-girlfriends. It is just weird and uncomfortable, and do not say that it is not true. We all love to talk about people.

9. Hugs are nice :).
Make fun of me all you want, but there is nothing better than getting a hug from your father, grandfather, uncle, or guy friend. It is better than a girl, and I do not know why. So yes, hugs are welcomed.

10. Please do not bring up PMS. It is uncomfortable and do not assume that we are on it when we are not. When I am on my period, I usually do not feel agitated, I just feel sleepy and tired. Every girl's symptoms are different, so do not assume.

Ok, those are some things guys need to know about girls. Did I miss any? Tell me below. And guys, what do I need to know about you?

Here is the link to Connor Franta's video: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=V02wBggJiCs

Love, Europe, and Henry VIII

I do not know about you, but have you ever thought that history was written in a way where it is false and written in a way where it looks like a certain person was the fault, not the other? That's sounds wrong to say, but I have been studying European History for English, and some of it sounds ignorant, especially the Elizabethan Era.

Let's start with Henry VIII. The man who had 6 wives in total. Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, and Catherine Parr were his wives in total. Yep, he was a man-whore, and also had affairs with different women, especially the ladies in waiting. You are probably thinking, "that is disgusting. Why are you telling me this?". I am because apparently Anne Boleyn is accused of being stubborn and rude. Of course she is rude, she was meant to marry Harry Percy, a nice guy. But no... She couldn't because Henry forced her to. She is a bitter woman because not only he forced her to marry him, but that he was having affairs and accused her of adultery. Seriously, man up women. And she was then beheaded at the Tower of London.

Jane Seymour is the only woman out of the entire collection of Henry's wives that is buried with him in St. George's chapel. The only woman. The reason is that she gave him a son, Edward. But he died when he was around 16 sadly. Other wives did not. What is so great about having a son? I never got why having a son is better than a daughter back then, give me a reason other than hormones and PMS. She was then died because of childbirth.

Anne of Cleves was thought to be ugly. I saw a portrait of her, and she did not look that ugly. Sure, they say that the portrait artist was all wrong, but that sounds shallow. Henry VIII was shallow. He then divorced her.

Catherine Howard was a young and carefree woman, but because she had affairs with other men in the court, she got beheaded. He had affairs too. What a hypocrite? Didn't the people tell him he was a hypocrite? No, because they were scared. Swear to biscuits and gravy, by this logic, Henry VIII should have been beheaded along time ago.

Catherine Parr was just his best friend until death. The end. That is it. Can you believe that? No outrageous story what so ever. I swear the reign of the Tudors, which included Bloody Mary and redhead Queen Elizabeth and young King Edward, was some crazy time. Lets be honest, here. I am so glad I do not live in the Elizabethan Era because I would have been beheaded at the Tower of London because I would have been talking smack the entire time. Or I would have been the more Elizabethan version of the Gothic's "lady in the attic" because I would have been deemed a pyscho.

Anyway, that is my rant for today. I know it looks like a butch of gibberish, but if someone can explain to me why did this all happened, please do so. Alright, thank you, and have a nice day :).

With Love,

Live vs Exist

In my life, I have meant all walks of life. From people who are living the dream, working for their dream, and settling for something less, everything. I love all of these people to death, but some of them are extremely unhappy with their life that they actually comtemplate (please tell me the correct spelling) life frequently. But, they do not realize that they can drop everything and leave. That they can live the life they want to live. Everyone's happiness and dream is different. My idea of happiness is extrememly different from yours probably. However, do what you need to do in order to reach that. Life should not be dreadful. It is suppose to be beautiful, but you have to make it beautiful. In order to actually live, you have to be happy, or you just exist. Just saying.

Let's be honest. We either want two things, a pause button or a rewind button. I want a pause. Sometimes, I do not want any good moment to end. Or I can have a slow-mo button, to make every good moment last longer. There are days where I do not want them to end because they make me so happy. There are days where I want to like that until the day I die because I am in peace. Yes, I rather not be in the past, however, because I do not want to go back. I prefer to live in the present, but have good moments last longer.

I feel infinte, complete in some parts of my life. The moment where you do not care what the weather is, how broke you are, how you are with the people you love most in the world at that time, where you do not care how bad the world seems, where you are just happy. I strive to get that feeling again, but haven't felt that in a long time. I feel lucky to have felt it because some people do not even feel it until the day they almost die.

Anyway, thank you for being there for me. There are some good people out there, promise. We all have to look for them.

Would you rather have a pause or rewind button? Why? Have you ever had that feeling of pure happiness? When was it? Can you describe it?
