05:46 am - Review: Marked by P. C. Cast + Kristin Cast
I realize I'm probably really late on reading (let alone reviewing) this book, but I just finished it yesterday morning after an all-nighter; reading non-stop. Once I got into the Meat & Potatoes (or rather Salad & Pretzels) of Marked, I couldn't put it down. It was a great read. I was apprehensive about reading a Vampire love story, high school setting, kind of drama type book again, because Twilight scarred me upon further reading of the series.
This book is different.
All of the characters are interesting, Zoey, Stevie Rae, the Twins, Shaunee & Erin, and Damien(!) are all very awesome and unique. Even the "villains" in the book are so good at being bad. But, by the end of the book, I had to ask myself, "What's what?" and more importantly "Who's who?" Because something at the end, something Aphrodite said,(seriously, that IS her name, no joking), about playing the roles that they were meant to play -- meaning herself and Zoey, and I'm thinking everyone that was involved -- made me think that there is something very different underlying the obvious. Aphrodite is a mean girl, there is no doubt about that, but was she really just more of a mean girl Puppet? And, if so, who is pulling the strings?
I have an idea as to who that might be, not that I want to believe it, but, hey, that is just how it goes most of the time. There are similarities to Twilight, (the overnight sensation) but when compared I just think this book does it better.
Why?
Because this female heroin is really that; she is looking out for her friends, defending people that she is told she should just forget about it, she is fighting so hard to be normal even when the odds are clearly not in her favor, she is learning to trust herself, this girl is strong and stands up for Herself. I adore her for that. She really is Nothing like Bella Swan, thank Literature for that.
And then of course there is Erik, whose name I love as much as I love him. Some would call him the Edward Cullen of the House of Night. I would not. Because he is so much better. He does not try to get Zoey to run from the things in their world that are dangerous, no. Instead he stands beside her when he can, willing to fight Beside her instead of For her, which I love. He is handsome, sweet, smart, talented, attentive, caring, sensitive even! And instead of being afraid of getting down & dirty with a little blood, he's more like Bring It On, which is Hot. (But I'm a Vampire Fan-Girl, so of course drinking blood is Hot to me, O_o) Go E & Z!
Then, of course, there are obvious other points that "could" be compared to Twilight; the Heritage, meaning Indian, of Zoeybird's people, Imprinting, the fact that Vampires can walk in the light --but, Jesus Christ, they do NOT sparkle, I am SO glad, that annoyed the HELL out of me!-- and other small things, but really, again, P.C & Kristin do it Better. The Tribal stuff in New Moon was genius, one of the best bits of the book for me (though, really, it was Jacob), what I got from Marked made me want to study these people and this culture. It was so fascinating. It pulled me in from beginning to end. I always looked forward to anything having to do with her people, from the moment she fell and hit her head. Her Grandmother is also Awesome! Imprinting with them is a bit different as well, and Genius, because Vampires can do it! It drives the Human that drinks their blood or has their blood taken by a Vampyre goes mad with obsession. Pining and the whole nine yards! It was kind of fantastic to see. Proving, again, that Zoey is no ordinary fledgling. Loved it. I really cannot find anything bad to say about this book. It was reall good, really intriguing. I am set to read Betrayed tomorrow. Also forming a Cirle is about the coolest thing I have ever read, and I definitely want to do one! Guess that means I am a fan!
5 out of 5 Stars from this girl, for this book, Marked, Read It!
Another something that I really LOVE about this book, is it shows young and adult women as being strong, able to make their own decisions as well as deal with the consequences of their actions; it shows that women can fight their own battles and still be a Woman in love with a Man. I especially love their History of the Amazons ^_^ that really made me happy!
I think I'll stop here,
Peace

05:32 pm - ~|~Haunted~|~
For a short time, three weeks (which I know is not really all that short in life-time, but in TV time it's short, yeah), I got into the Vampire Diaries and then back out again when Flashforward started its season. The other night I got really bored, bored out of my mind, and I had nothing to do, so I watched all of the episode that I had missed for VD. (Wow, that made me laugh.) I got really excited about it again, the way I was when first I heard they were trying Vampires on TV again. They had Moonlight & True Blood (and Blade but no one cared about that one, did they?) but nothing new since then. I don't think, anyway. Nothing anyone talked about - though I don't consider myself to be one "in the Loop" at all.
Off track.
The episodes were fascinating, they made me an instant fan. So, to say I have been awaiting this weeks Episode, which is on right now, would be an understatement. I'm disappointed to be honest. And I'll tell you why. Elena is annoying me, she's pushing every last one of my buttons with her self-righteous attitude. She is stepping on every one of the Vampires toes. Vicky, Damon & Stefan - of all people!!! He happens to be the only one that, at the moment, has no desire to kill her. And she is constantly whining, going on and on about how she can't do "this". I know she has had a bad deal of things, but haven't we all. A lot of people have had it so much worse and even they can drudge up so optimism. Finding out that your BF, sweet, caring, loving, & FINALLY honest, is a Vampire is not the worst thing to happen on the planet Earth, you know! So it just bugs me the way she is carrying on as if it really is. He hasn't killed anyone in SO long and yet she is judging him as if he has committed mass-genocide or something. She's more civil toward Damon, oddly enough, who DOES kill people at will!
The people that I happen to LOVE on the show are Damon, Stefan and Bonnie. The witch angle is cool, the brothers and kind of awesome, especially Damon. Stefan is whiney, not so much as the girl he longs for, but it gets annoying on his end, too. So, Damon, Bonnie THEN Stefan. Elena is not even on my list. Anywhere. And I think her Grandmother is played by Jasmine Guy(?) no quoting me on that, but if that IS her, than, right on! I really missed her.
All well, that is all that I really care to say about this darn show right now. What I'm waiting on now is the always up to Bar, Supernatural. Those boys can do NO wrong!

10:42 pm - |Crank| an Ellen Hopkins novel
So I just tuned in to this book when I went browsing on the Borders website, because there is not one in my tiny town (sad, yes?). It's called Crank, it is (I believe) her first published novel. It's based, not entirely, of course, on the lives of her and her family. It's is about a teenage girl, Kristina, who gets into one of the worst habits there happen to be, Crank.
I know it has received positive views from everyone, have yet to read a bad one, and if I did I would ignore it. Because I've read it, and it was amazing. The vividity of the pictures painted by the poetry that tells the entire beginning of an endless journey with the infamous monster, is incredible. K/B's Crank induced world exploed behind my own eyes, the picture in my mind made me feel like I was there. My eyes were glued to those 500+ pages. I read them eagerly, and I had to make myself stop at half-way yesterday, when I actually received the book, because my Mom said, "You better stop or you're going to be finished." which was true, she knows me well. Had i continued on I would have been writing this yesterday. So i pumped the breaks and saved the last half for today. Which I finished before 9PM. And I wanted more, but I only bought the first one to test the waters, see how I felt about the series before I went and got them all. Now, I could kick myself in the shin for not getting, at least, the sequel. So, yeah, basically what I'm saying is, if you have yet to read this book, you should order it or go to your nesrest bookstore and pick it up! It is just that brilliant.
Check it out Here.

12:08 pm - ♥ I'm 20 Bitchez! ♥
Today is my 20th birthday, I’m excited to have existed for so long. It’s a beautiful thing. My favorite number is five, and I feel so good to be twenty on the fifth, LoL, EXCITED! So I am promising myself that I will not be lazy this year. It is a trait of the Libra to start things in good faith that you will finish them, yet never doing so. So, to start this new leg of my life, I will no longer do that. My main two things that I desire to finish this year, my first book which I’m working out the kinks as I type and developing the characters. They are lovely ^_^ Second thins I plan on working on is drawing. I started working on some anime the other day and I really enjoyed myself so I am deciding to continue on with that, if for only the experience. ^_~ Out

And no I am not speaking of Stephanie's golden eyed vamp Edward. I'm talking about the classic, Tim Burton creation, made famous by Johnny Depp and those damn scissorhands! Yes, ma'am! My Mom went to the store today and came back with one of my favorite movies of all time! Who's the best Mom ever?
Mine, that's who!
Woot, she totally listened to me the other day when I was going on and on about how I'd love to see this movie. How it had been entirely too long and all the jazz. It's a classic, it's a masterpiece, it made me want an Awesome/Fantastical haircut. Have you noticed some of these styles are actually in rotation these days? Awesome? I think so! So I have yet to watch it, because my brain is running a mile a minute right now and when I do watch it I shall be totally focused on it! Yeah, no half-stepping when it comes to anything Tim burton! God, Alice In Wonderland is going to KICK the ASS of everything else theaters. I believe, effing awesome. Anyways, that's it - it - it!

08:21 pm - The Vampire Diaries
I quite like this one. The Melrose Place show did not go down too well, for me anyway, I just found it invredibly difficult to get into it. Vampire Diaries is turning out awesomely though. Right now they are playing Katy Perry's "Thinking of You" if that is the exact name. So, yeah, musicly they are awesome. Ooh, they are playing something else now... song is by Peppermint Nightmare. Awesomeness personified, I dare say! Going to check out their myspace later. As for now I'm waiting for the damn commercials to be over.
On the SoA front, it was amazing but the awesomeness was bittersweet with what happened to Gemma. I was pissed and crying and all over the place when I saw that. It just...sucked, what can I say? Supernatural is BACK tonight!!! In little more than half an hour from now! OML I really can not wait. The wait has been driving me crazy and now it is really here. Reakky reakky! The brothers are back, kicking evil ass and taking souls. How awesacious! Man, these will totally be my two shows.
Down side to these awesome shows being on right now? Brown Sugar (which I have been trying to watch since forever because I do NOT have the DVD) is on tonight. Right now. ABC Fam is playing it, suckers, and I can not watch it because I have prior TV engagements. And Vampire Diaries is back On, I should go.

04:36 pm - Boooooored
So I'm watching "The Tyra Banks Show" and I know people always have something to say about the woman but she knows how to make women feel good about themselves. Just like Oprah. (Is that how you spell her name?) I do not know. So I love her, I'm loving the show, for real, the Real Hair episode is awesome. I do not know who this Perez Hilton is...everyone else does, I know, but I guess I was one of those people lost in the sauce. He's cool, loads of people are cool, but I am not one of those people that keeps up with other people's lives. I hardly keep up with MYself, so doing the celeb up-keep thing is not for the kid. But kudos to those who have a passion for it. Perez is kinda funny, actually, lol.
My point from Blogging right now, though, is to talk on my boredom. I'm bored...as if you didn't know. Tpday is Tuesday, the 7th and the second season of Sons of Anarchy starts tonight, at 10!!! on FX and I am more than a little excited to watch the premiere. 10 can not come fast enough for me, man. The new Melrose Place is also starting up tonight on the CW. Maybe I'll take notes and write little reviews on them both. I remember Melroes Place a tiny bit from when I was younger but not enough to notice any connections to this version and from the past version. Something I'm not excited about and will not be watching - 90210. Just saw a commercial for it. For me that show doesn't stand a chance while Gossip Girl is around and kicking ass. I gave it a try, really I did, because of her brother, the HOTness of that boy is just sooo lovely to me, and then of course Lauren London was on for a couple of episodes. Love her! She's so beautiful and when she is on screen I quite love her. So, yeah, but I got lost in that. I just stopped caring and moved far, far away from the show.
Point is I am WAITING and I am feeling very impatient for my show SOA, gah it bugs me whenever I think about it! I am tired of this wait, so, so tired. I'm sure I'll be just as horrible when the 10th gets here, and I have to wait until 9 for Supernatural! Why are MY shows the LAST ones the CW puts on?!?!? Putting it on last will not make me watch the other stuff on there! Like OTH, 90210 or anything else. But I kind of want to give The Vampire Diaries a try. A significant try, yes, I shall not write it off as horrible until I've watched at least 5 episodes. But people are saying it has strayed so far from the books. Thankfully I have yet to read them.
There should totally be a Harry Potter TV show. That way we FANATICS could get ALL of the books bests on screen!!! Ugh, that would knock my socks off. Like, the babies have Wizard of Waverly Place, what do us 19-year-olds get?!?!?! Huh, JK Rowland???? PLEASE turn HP into a show on Thw CW! They need something else stellar-ly awesacious! Supernatural, Gossip Girl, Melrose Place & The Vampire Diaries (maybe). Still that is only four shows, they need FIVE. Five would be amazing. Five is my favorite number. Five would complete my life...that is really, really sad, I know, but I'm an uber fan of TV awesomeness. So, yeah, anyway people.
Bah bah black sheep have you any wool?.?.?
Is there any reason at all for me to have just typed that?
Hell no, but my mind is spinning out of control.
In boredom! Obviously
TaTaForNowCiaoBrownCowWow!
PS) I cannnot wait for "Fame"! I am so going to see that darn movie, it is going to be amazing! You know it is.

11:50 pm - Stolen Things
Found out my PSP was stolen, my Dad took it with him to AL. Anyway, he's all distraught about it, but I - I'm just not. Lets see if I can, more thoroughly, explain myself. Things happen for a reason. Now I don't know why the person who took it walked away with it, you know, but naybe they needed it. Maybe they wanted it. This is no excuse, I get that, but shit happens. You cannot always control the outcome, people are going to do the things they are going to do. I feel kind of like things could have been worse. Hell, in the grand scheme of things a stolen game is not a big deal. It hardly even registers on the radar of bad shit happening all over the world. It isn't a catastrophe. I just want him to see that. He could not have stopped the person, you know. And even if he could, a 100-some-odd-dollar game would not be worth it. It's not a memory, or anything, it just had music on it. Music I can get back. And a few pictures that I have, thank Goodness, on a flashdrive. Either way, people lose things, things are taken from them. I just don't...care. We're all still here, that matters to me more than anything else.
Ciao, T'Raberah

02:15 am - Six Days!!! Did I die?
Apparently not, still living the life here. Or some form of it anyways. You know, but I haven't had much to say...until I wrote a Poem today! Well, technically not to-day today, but I re-wrote the poem that I wrote almost two weeks ago. So, it IS new, because I have been focusing on my stories but, at random times, my poetry POPs out!!! Did that scare you?
Just nod, (whispers) I can't actually SEE you, son. Son, son, son, LmaO, I love NY was good for something, at least. Finding J-Hud a man and making me laugh. Two for one.
Anyway I am OFF topic, again! Really isn't all THAT unusual for me, so, yeah. Moving on.
I've been listening to a LOT of different music lately. Broadening my horizons. Oh, as for horizons, what do YOU think about Canada? Exciting place, yes? I want to move there. Like, no lie, real talk, honest to Blog - what the f**k ever. I dunno, I've always wanted out of the US. Technically, Canada IS out, so, bam! I should go, right? I know I should. So, when I save up the money, that is where I shall be heading. Mmm, all that snowboarding, Though I know not how to snowboard, where better to learn, Yes? So it's looking up, sorts of.
Also I want to go to LeakyCon 2011, any huge HP fans wanna go along? So far my Mom has volunteered, but she's not a HUGE HP nerd like me. Still if she wants to come, why not? Huge Harry Potter bonding fest. Nothing like a little bit of magic and a whole lot-a love to bring people closer together, eh. I'm excited.
As far as writing goes, I have been getting things done, but I still have to get all my old stuff copied down before sending my comp to the shop. Because I do not know if they will be able to save my babies. So, yeah, that's taking up a chunk of my time. But I AM working on Elise's story (totally have a name for it!), Before Him (a story loosely based on my own experiences), and one that has no name, as of yet, but it's something I've been wanting to try my hand at for a while now. So, with any luck, I'll be posting, at least, the first Chappie of Before Him sometime in September.
Oh, My Mother's B-Day is in September. Love her! Love life, all that!
As far as emotions go, I've been up and down. Talking to some people I might not have before, and I'll be damned but it feels good. Getting things out into the open. It isn't always pretty but you can't start OVER if you're still holding on to things in the basement. Which brings me back to my poem.
It's called "Insanity (She)" and I won't tell you what it's about, but I'm thinking of posting it on FP. I haven't ever posted a Poem there and I quite like this one. I asked my Dad, should it even be considered a poem and he said yes. I thought of it, at first, as a sort of drabble, one-shot, whatever you feel. But it feels better labeled, to moi, as a poem. I'll ask my Mother tomorrow. See what she saye before I post it one way or the other.
I'd forgotten how fun it is to...let the things in my head OUT.
I've, lately, been watching three shows faithfully. 10 Things I Hate About You, Make It Or Break It and Leverage(!!!)! All amazing shows, but the Fall show season is approaching and I'm totally excited for that. I missed my babies. I wonder when Dollhouse is coming back.
A cancellation I'm pissed about?
The Game. WTF. That should NOT have happened, if only so I could see Derwin (Pooch Hall) faithfully. Being super silly/cute/sexy yummable with Melanie/Med School. Who was dancin' and emphasizin'! LoL. Loved that episode. And Malik, he called her Girl Melanie for, like, ever. Crazyness. And Jason got with Camille, call me a bitch but I was happy to see him with someone other than Kelly. They didn't fit. Whatevs. And Brit-Brat was bratty as all hell. Satan. Anyway. Yeah, I've talked a LOT.
I'm thinking of blogging about shows I like.
Hmm, what do you think?
Gol-ly, I should go now, before I get onto something else. Which I do not need to do.
^_^ Much Love and Peace 2 U

06:52 pm - !~!~!Fucking Issues!~!~!
I could pull my hair out with everything that has happened to BOTH of my computers this last week. Desktop, laptop. ruined pieces of shit. Yeah. Getting a virus sucks. Getting a virus and unknowingly transfering it from one computer to the next beause you're TRYING to SAVE your stories, which you have so damn many of, is MADE of FAIL!!! Epic failure, actually. So of course it happened to me. Now I'm writing each of my stories down by hand into a notebook to be re=typed and saved on a portable harddrive whenever I get my computer(s) fixed. This is some bullshit, and I want to kill my comps. If they weren't already dead I might even have half a chance. Needless to say I'm ticked. Thankfully I have the coolest Mom and she's letting me bum arounf on her computers, lol. Lovely little family I've got here, huh.
Yeah.
So I cannot work on anything new while I'm trying to save everything old. Sucks, but at least it will not be completely lost. Or corrupted, which would be worse, cause the files would just taunt me to no fucking end. Gosh, my music, photos, videos - all gone-zo. So, yeah, life sucks.
Oh well, live and learn baby. And then eat hamburgers!

09:05 pm - Writer's Block: The Right to Privacy
Celebritie's lives, just like normal, every day people's lives should bear a nice, balanced ammount of privacy. Being famous should not mean that you lose your rights to going out and doing something randomly normal - like shop for your own darn groceries without a camera in your face, you know. But the fact is, too many of us every day people are more invested in their lives than we are in our own. If we stopped worrying so much about what they are doing every second of every day, they would have more privacy because we wouldn't be worrying about them. We'd be off living our own lives.
