Dear Tide

Dear Tide,

I think the time has come for me to say something. I kept it to myself for long enough. But before I do that let me say that I don't hate you. Sure I don't love you, but my feelings toward you are not that of hate, but rather indiffenence. Don't let that make you think that my feelings will change by your recent commericals. Putting them in front of the WheezyWaiter videos I'm trying to watch will not change my feelings for the better. In fact they are annoying me more then the annoying orange. So please, at least differate them from the stupid bbq one, and the cold water one. Oh, and I do hate the cold water one!

Sincerly,

Kirstin

PS- seriously stop.

Money

So, I've been watching a lot of vlogbrothers videos, trying to catch up, and well, I'm not sure if it led to this sort of thought pattern but none the less here it is.

So, I was looking at Meekakitty's World Vision pictures on the book face, and I got to thinking about how I may or may not think of getting an inhaler for the exersice induced asthma I'm pretty sure I gots. And then I thought that I could get it. All I would need is the prescription, and I'm pretty sure I can afford it. But that's what pains me. I can afford it. I hate the thought that there are people out there who need medications but can't afford them. And so they have to do without. People that may die without it, have to, because of money. That seems wrong to me. There should be a way (and if there is, and I'm not aware, please let me know) that people who really need medication but can't afford it can get it for free (or close).

Sigh.

Well back to Vlogbrothers. :)

Happiness

What do we sacrifice on a day to day basis for happiness? Do most of us give things up because that is what is expected of us? I'd answer the latter with a yes. I think that a lot of us give up a lot of things just so others are happy. I know I am guilty of this. I want others to be happy so much that I often do what others want me to do and not what I want to do.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and its been helping me make some hard decisions. Now, I don't want to hurt anyone, but I'm starting to do what I want to do. I'm doing what I have to do.

Cause, I just want to be happy.

Barbies are the devil?

Okay, are Barbies THAT bad? I mean, yeah, they are an unreal ideal for young girls, but are they THAT bad. I was having a debate with my mother over this after dinner. She thinks they are bad (now, after my sister and I are all grown, and had grown with them, mind you). She thinks young girls shouldn't play with them and they lead girls to grow with problems. To that I retorted that yes, I have problems (I won't pretend I don't) but none of them are to do with my playing with Barbies growing up. In fact I'd go as far as saying that Barbies are a good creative outlet for young women. I'm a writer, and I came up some amazing stories through my days (and nights) playing with Barbies.I loved my Barbies. I played with them all the time, and I had a lot of them. I loved Dolls but they were never as important to me as my Barbies.

So how is Barbie really that bad. My image problems never steamed from my Barbies as my Mother would have believe. I'd say that in all actuality society is to blame for that. Barbie has had many good jobs, she's never really needed a man (though Ken has been there). She's raised countless sisters (with no parents to boot, which come on is a mircale in and of itself). She is made of different races (or at the very least has friends that are, though in that case they really should make her in other races...do they? I'm confused now...) she helps people, has good manners, and they have yet to make teen pregnancy Barbie (though they did have a pregnant Barbie of somekind in the eighties). Barbie brings fun to girls and boys all over the world. Sure she is gorgeous, but can we call her the devil just because she's beautiful?

I think that we need to stop fighting everything and see somethings for what they are: fun!

Is it only me?

Okay, so I'm trying to make myself a better person. Push my limits so to speak. And one of those things was to face things that used to scare me. One thing I did maybe a year ago (I can't remember the time exactly) was watch Michca Bartons scene from 'The Sixth Sense.' And yesterday (and today) I've decided to watch 'Chucky',  'Child's Play' to be more specific. Chucky was something that scared me. I've never watched one before (with the exception of the end of Bride of...and that gave me weird nightmarish dreams). But when I saw it on my friends Netflixs I had to check it out. But I don't find it scary. Is that me? Isn't this movie supposed to be some terrifying thing. And yes, the doll does give me the creeps, but so far (and I'm a little bit more then half way through), I don't find it that scary.

Maybe it gets scarier as it goes. I don't know, some movies to take a lot before they get going.  I guess I've been expecting that iconic Chucky voice and have yet to see it. Okay, never mind, there it is. Hmmm...reminds me of Danny Devito.


Oh....and was I also the only one to go 'IT'S THE MOM FROM SEVENTH HEAVEN!" lol

Sucker Punch...a spiel

Okay, so I love movies. I know, I know, its no secret if you know me. But if you don't, well now you do. And to me a movie needs a good music, good characters, and a good plot. Sure, it needs small other things but it if it has that then I'm usually enthralled by it.

So guess what movie I watched on Sunday and am going to go to again tonight? Yes, Sucker Punch. Good  readers, you get a metaphorical cookie. I knew I was going to like this movie as soon as I saw the trailer so many months back. And I was right. I was wrong about one thing, this movie is no happy camper movie. So bring lots of tissues. I'm not one to bawl during movies but I did in this. Be warned.

So what makes this movie so great. Well the characters are well done. Well acted, well written. I was surprised with Vanessa Hudgens role and how well she actually pulled it off. I liked Emily Browning before but she brought it up a notch in this for me. I was also really surprised by Jenna Malone. I had no idea she was in the movie until I saw her name in the credits. Wow. Just wow. I won't tell you who she played because I want you all to be surprised. And having to guess is sort of fun.

The music was so good. It went well with everything from feelings to the action around it. And I so bought the soundtrack and have been listening to it constantly. :) It's love, I tells ye. I did go in thinking it was a musical (which it isn't) but I wasn't disappointed. I had read that Emily had to sing so I assumed, but she does sing in the soundtrack and is really really good.

This movie is not for kids. It's dark. It's violent. But its amazing all the same. The plot is creative, its unique and fun. It's a friendship movie, its a movie of personal pain and strength.

Let's just say that I'll be buying this as soon as its available.

GO WATCH IT...oh and if you're afraid of Vanessa Hudgens being all kiddy or whatever, she isn't. She actually did a good job. This is Mental House non musical, not High School Musical.

Anthology

So for a blog called kirstinwrites it hasn't been a lot of writing posts lately. Well here is one. I've decided to come up with an anthology of short stories that I'm going to self publish. I've been working on a bunch of them lately and I'm quiet happy. I'm looking at around five now, but who knows. One is actually parts of my zombie novel that I merged into a short story. I wanted it to go somewhere.

I'm really hoping to be finished this in a few weeks. But who knows. Anything could happen, but I'm looking forward to this.

Sometimes

Sometimes I think it would be easier to be weak

Let it all get me, you know?

Sometimes fighting is too hard.

Trying tedious after so long.

Sometimes I wonder what its all for

all the fighting, living, trying to love.

And sometimes it gets bad

Like when I’m tired, crying, and shaking with fear.

But then out of the blue sometimes, it all feels so good, like its worth it after all

Sometimes…

Buffy Survey I found

Okay, so I found this survey on Kristina Horner's Blog and I'm going to do it. This is going to be hard because when I first fell in love with Buffy I was only 12. Yes, that was 13 years ago. I just got back into it maybe 3 or 4 years ago. But I'll try my best to be as honest as I can.

1. The first character I fell in love with:  Xander.

2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: That's hard, but I'll have to go with Spike. I really fell in love with him after getting into it again. I also used to hate Oz but fell in love with him as time went on. 

3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t: Buffy. I don't hate her, but Buffy has gotten on my nerves at times, and she is not my favourite character. *doges rotten fruit* 

4. The character I love that everyone else hates: Ethan Rayne (well I'm not sure if he's hated, but I doubt many remember him).

5. The character I used to love but don’t any longer: Willow. She just gotten really annoying after high school ended.

6. The character I would shag anytime: Xander (but of course I wouldn't turn Spike down either).

7. The character I’d want to be like: A later cordelia. Confident, beautify, but still a bad ass.

8. The character I’d slap: Harmony. I hate her.

9. A pairing that I love: Oz/Willow.

10. A pairing that I despise: Giles/Ophelia (it never added to anything, and I despise her for not being able to handle it and leaving Giles).

11. Favorite male character (add a quote or favorite line): Xander

"I am the bug man co co cachu!
12. Favorite female character (add a quote or favourite line):This ones a little harder, but probably Anya. Plus her quote at the end of the body is brilliant! 


"But I don't understand! I don't understand how this all happens. How we go through this. I mean I knew her and then she's , and then there's just a body and I don't understand why she just can't get back in it and not be dead anymore. It's stupid. It's mortal and stupid. And Xander's crying and not talking and I was having fruit punch and I thought well Joyce will never have anymore fruit punch ever, and she'll never have eggs or yawn or brush her hair, not ever and no one will explain to me why!" 

13. My five favorite characters: Xander, Spike, Giles, Oz, Anya

14. My five least favorite characters: Drusiclla, Shneider, Harmony, Darla

15. Which character I am most like: It used to be Willow, but now I'd have to say a girl Xander.

16. My deep, dark fandom secret: I once went as Willow for halloween- only she had been bitten by a vampire, shrunk, cut and died her hair, and was being Sailor Moon for halloween. (My favourite costume EVA!)

An actual writing blog post---I know, it suprises me too

Okay, so I'm really behind in my youtube watching (and no, that's not some sort of euphomism). It's seriously going to take me forever to get up to date with my vlogbrothers, and wheezywaiters, and the last of the fiveawesomegirls, italktosnakes, kieracass, kalebnation, jacksonpierce And more. Anyway, my point is, I.hate.sauercraut. lol, actually I do, but my real point is that I was watching a video by one of the people on my youtube sub list (AltoYourClef) and it introduced me to an amazing thing. It's a site, and its for editing. I checked it out and it's really helped me with my edting (and self eestem, hehe). Anyway it's simple. You just paste in a part of your story, and it finds things for you like weak words, sentences that end in propostions, those kind of things. It also looks at words spelt wrong but I don't like this cause I know the words it says are spelt wrong are right. Like 'to', its the right freaking 'to' EditMinion!!!!

Anyway it has been helping me and I'm going to include a link so my writing friends can take a look.

http://editminion.com/

Enjoy!

Give me something to write about...editing

Okay, so my editing is going well. Well, well in theory. I still have sixty some pages to go before I'm finished my first round of serious edits. I was going to finish it last night, in a frantic dash to the finish, but,uh, that never happened. Anyway, it will probably get done in a day or two, no biggie.

I had an amazing feel a few days ago. I had that moment when you're reading your edits and you see how much better it is, and how the whole novel is coming together. It was amazing. I still have my moments of frustration, and moments when I feel like a bad writer, but in the end I won't give up. I'm finishing this. I'm getting this done. I'm getting published.

This novel, Worse Than Death, is different because its the only one I've actually worked hard on getting done. And by done I mean done for publication. Usually I write, edit quickly (if at all), and then send out. Yes, bad idea, I know. But this time I feel like a real writer. It's great.

Nightmares (either on or away from Elm St.)

Finally! I've been having trouble getting this site to work on my
Cell phone and allow me to post. So all night I've had an idea for a post. But its changed a bit. For you see, I had wanted to write about a re-occurring nightmare I've been having; but now I want to talk about nightmares in general.

You see, I never used to have nightmares. Maybe once in a blue moon I'd have a nightmare, but never regularly. Now things are changing. I've been have way more then I'd like. And I see why people hate them. I used to like them because they were rare and usually fun scary like watching a horror movie. But now they are the type where I'm glad to wake up because it means they're over. Nightmares seem to go for the real fear in you. Well they do for me. They get me shaking, and filled with dread. I hate it. But its my nightmare last night that I really hate. *shudders*

I don't get them, so watching scary movies doesn't give them. Well now I can't say that! I watched '
'The Rite' last night for the second time. Its scary yea, but it doesn't make me wet my pants or anything. But yet I had a dream about possession last night. Something that terrifies me in real life. The idea, the feeling that it could happen, the helplessness. Oh, and to be clear I wasn't possessed in the dream but it made me feel I could be.

Now onto my re-occurring nightmare. It's simple. I'm in this house but a part of it is haunted. I've been having this dream for a while but two nights ago it changed. I saw the ghost. I was terrified but I still decided to talk to it, be nice to it. And it was that creepy nice that you know need down is actually evil. And way it touched me, causing me to wake up (either in real life or another dream, I can't remember). And it was pure terror for a mila second. Gah!

Anyway that's it. I got the idea for this from my friend Marc's blog (cannedelectrons.blogspot.com) go check him out, he's cool.

Well I'm off to the library! :) laters

the effects of fame

How safe is the acting profession? And I'm not talking about stunts or the dangers of the media. No, what I'm talking about is what can happen if they get to into a part. Is being a methodical actor dangerous?
I am starting to think it can. Well depending on the actor. I think more should be done, especially for those working on hhorror and physiological thrillers. I came to this thought watching Deadline. Its a good physiological thriller staring Brittney Murphy. I got to think about her death. I wonder if there is anyway the movie could have effected her. It was one. Of her last one, and the part would have been quite hard. Her character is REALLY messed up. It reminded me of Heath Legger and how I've heard he had been depressed after playing the joker. I know both are different, but at the same time it makes me wonder. Either way I think it could easily happen, especially if an actor is already depressed, or prone to depression. I think (and really hope they have) people available during a shoot if they need it. Every serious horror movie or the like should have a physiologist available. Even if its not needed, wouldn't it be better safe than sorry? But I don't know what they do, so maybe its already in effect. I hope so at least.

Zombies

I love zombies. I'm writing a zombie novel. I've painted a zombie picture. And I'm all in all pretty much obsessed with zombie culture.

Just thought I'd share that.

A no go

So, I didn't get the job. And while this bums me out (yes, I'm using those words), I'm trying to see it as a plus. I can always get my summer job back. I have my classes to look forward to. And volunteering at the library. And who knows, I may still find a job yet. So while it sucks, its not the end of the world.

The Kings Speech (A spiel)

I saw "The Kings Speech" with my mother on Monday. I don't usually end up seeing many Oscar hyped (wins, nominees...etc), but I went because I heard it was good. Still I went sceptical. I left awed. This move was amazing. Simply one of the best films I've ever seen. (My mother said it was the best she's ever seen).

I started out watching the movie and laughing slightly. Not that it was funny, cause it really wasn't, but  because I really felt for the character. Being shy myself, having to talk in front of people bothers me. I should also say I had an idea about the movie but it was wrong. I thought it was about the guy who wrote the kings speech's! I know, I know. I also didn't really get the title until too far later. :P

Colin Firth was amazing (word of the day much, kids?). Seriously, I loved his energy, his stammer (or stutter, I still believe they used the wrong word but maybe its a British thing.) It made me like the Royal family as well. I want to believe they were like that. I WANT to like them. A part of me does wonder if that's movie magic making them likeable.

Helena Bonham Carter is a good actress. I liked her before, but I have a respect for her acting now. I loved her as Queen Elizabeth (and I had no idea who she was playing until I heard her say 'I hope you don't call me Lizzie' (or whatever the exact quote was). I liked that she had normal hair, something I've never seen her with. And I also thought her and Collin Firth had amazing chemistry.

My sister told me it was like a Harry Potter reunion and its so true. There are so many people in it who are also in Harry Potter. Michael Gammon, Timothy Spall (Who I wasn't sure was actually in it until my sister said it was), and of course Helena Bonham Carter.

Okay, I'm going to wrap this up. Good movie. Go see it.

Dream

I had a bunch of weird dreams last night (maybe its the cough medicine :s), anyway one of the dreams I like was I was dating Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory. This dream was very un-cannon to the show, as any fans would know, but it was silly, cool, and I enjoyed it. Sheldon btw is my favourite character and if he'd chill a bit I'd date him. lol. Anyway just thought I'd share that.


Oh, ps- I got a job interview for tomorrow.

'Ode to an Accidental Stabbing' of a Puppet-Mitt

School

So, I'm only a day into my new course and I'm actually like this on-line learning. I was a little scared because I didn't know if I could do it, but I find myself pleasantly surprised. YAY. As long as I give myself breaks I'm doing really well.

Well, back to work.

The Horror!

Okay! *tears hair out of head*

The story I'm trying to get published Worse Than Death, as much as I love it, and want to get it published, seems to have some kind of suicidal instinct. A part of me is wondering if it wants to get published. *sigh.* On Saturday, I somehow, and I'm not even a hundred percent sure how, I lost all my edits. We're talking about almost two full rounds of edits. WEEKS of edits. Sigh, and its not the first time this has happened. When I was writing this for NANOWRIMO I lost 3000 words. But I finished then (and early) and I'll finish now. It's just soooo frustrating.

Charlie is dead...not really...well kinda/fans

Okay, so this blog is going to take a Vlogbrothers/John Green, two parter, thing.

PART ONE: Trip down memory lane.

Okay, I remember this time, not that long ago, seriously like maybe 2 years, when I was staying at a friends. Well we went on BlogTV to watch I believe it was Kaleb Nation (but it may have been John). Anyway, we started talking about LOST (cause we're cool like that) and started saying Charlie is dead (cause he is). Well people started reading it and thinking that Charlie McDonnell (of Charlieissocool fame) was dead. Well we found this really funny so we decided to try to start a rumour that Charlie was dead. Well people thought it, it didn't get too big, and then she got kicked off but I didn't. AH, fun times, fun times.

PART TWO: I made a fan today.

Today I started talking to a 14 years girl. It started about her admiring my MacBook Pro, and then evolved onto her seeing that I'm a writer. I told her about it and she was hooked. She told me I have to finish it and get published. She even said she'd get her friends reading my Zombie book. This was really good encouragement to finish and fight to get published. She made me see that people would want to read it, and her enthusiasm is great. Now she's going to help me by being one of my critics, and she'll be a big help when it gets published with advertising. And it will be published. So, all in all, a good day.

PS my copy of Zombie's Vs Unicorns came in! :)

What's your sign *winks*

So, last night a mini hysteria seemed to go on over astrological signs. Now, I don't follow them for the most part but I did fall victim to the hysteria. You see for 25 years I've seen myself as a Gemini. I love being a Gemini, and when my sister (who is also a Gemini) told me that we were suddenly Taurus's (love to all my Taurus friends <3) I went from confusion (she did text me 'we are Taurus now') to mad/saddened. It might sound silly but being a Taurus was a big thing to me. I actually find myself like that (even though I know its probably more me then anything else). My sister then said its like an Identity crisis (she wasn't happy with it either), and its true. You go from being something your whole life and then suddenly you're told you're not. It's weird. I know a lot of people reading this could care less what astrological sign they are. And while the whole thing saddened me, I would have got over it given time. I mean it would have been a little interesting to have different horoscopes to read. Still, this morning when things were cleared up (apparently there is a new 13th sign, so everyone else was told they were being bumped back one. BUT, it only effects those born after 2009. So all you little babies who have no idea how you're lives are changed: HAHA.)

So even though its not, and never really was, the end of the word, I'm still have to be the twin. A Gemini! YAY!

HMMMM....What to write about...

Okay, so I promised a certain best friend that I'd write a blog as soon as I had the internet again. And this is kinda, sorta, not the first time, but I didn't have time before. Why? Because I spent all the time at my Mom's trying to buy a bloody book (and not a book covered in blood). It's a book I need for my online class I'm taking to become a Library Tech. I'm really excited for this as I want to work in a library super bad. But, I got a book, kinda (went with ebook), and all is now well. Mostly 'cause I didn't have to pay an arm and a leg for it.

Another thing I should mention on here is that my 100 day challenge/ new years resolution changed a bit. I'm still going to get published but I decided Dawn of Destiny will wait, and I'm going to put all my attention onto Worse Than Death (my zombie cruise ship novel). I'm editing like crazy and already have like heavy edits done on like maybe 9 chapters. I'm really happy with how its going. And before any of my Dawn fans start freaking out (*cough* Eric *cough*) I'm still writing it but I'm going to use a perfected version of that to get agents. You see I'm going to try and get WTD published without one, as a stepping stone, if you will. I'm really excited for all of this, and pretty soon I'll be looking for editors to give my story a once over, so if you want to read it just let me know.

Anyway, I'm going to go enjoy the small amount of internet I have (and hopefully get more water for my Tea).

Till Later

Don't Forget To Blog Again (or be awesome!)

Oh, I almost forgot to add some pictures from last night (I took them as I was filming my new vlog).

Living is Easier...

With eyes closed- The Beetles.

I love this quote (and not just because my favourite character on Lost has it on his arm). It's very beautiful and true...at least in my opinion. This came to my head earlier this evening...or last evening as its 1:00 AM now. Life is hard. It's not easy as everyone knows. And sometimes it would be so nice to just get to close our eyes and pretend we don't see the unfairness, the sadness, the things about life can really suck.

This year I am determined to figure myself out. I am trying to make the most of myself and my life. I have liked closing my eyes to my own problems. I don't like drama, and I don't like pain for too long. So lately I have been trying to open my eyes, and deal with my own problems. I'm doing things that would have scared me before. Things that I ran from because they were hard.

Yes, living is easier when your eyes are closed, but my eyes are wide open and my life is finally beginning.

100 Day Challenge- update

Just reached over 22 thousand words. Yay. Hopefully I'll keep this up.

2011 is here at last

Wow! We are already over a decade into the millennium. That is so weird to think about. It seems like only yesterday it was 1992; and I was still a kid. Now I'm a 25 year old, and things seem so different. I am not writing this as a reflection of my life, but rather 2010.  I'm a lemming, get over it. lol.

Anyway a lot of my facebook friends kept complaining about 2010, when it started last year. I though find 2010 was a good year. I got a lot of firsts finally accomplished (heads out of the gutter peoples). I got to meet my friend Eric. I got to see one of my besties Erin after over a year :):).

I submitted a story for a magazine (it wasn't picked but it was practice). I entered two contests. I got my drivers licence after eight years of trying, and I've started to get my life together. I feel very happy and optimistic.

As for resolutions I want to get published. That will be what I'm working on (well it is my 100 day challenge). I'm also going to get in shape (both mentally and physically).

Well I am going to end this. My New Years didn't start off great, because of partying (something I don't find fun anymore. I've grown up.) Well, even though my New Years didn't start of the best, the way I see it, it can only get better. After all when your at the bottom you can only go up. lol.

Anyway, I'm going to try and get some writing done on Dawn of Destiny. Happy New Year, and good luck to all of you in 2011.
