Everyday when I get on YouTube, there are several channels I like to check up on. Obviously the funny channels (smosh, jacksfilms, collegehumor, etc.). But I also like to look at lookbook videos. You know, the girls that put on their favorite outfits, walk around town and have someone film them looking all pretty. Yeah, those videos. It makes me kind of jealous. But in a way, it gives me motivation.
I've always wanted to make one of those kind of videos. I've never felt like I was pretty enough to do that though. After I cut my hair really short two months ago, it was apparent that there were a lot of clothes that I owned that I couldn't wear anymore. I didn't feel confident. I wasn't meant to have short hair. Another thing is that most of those girls live in California and look pretty next to the beach. So their videos look way cool. And then there's the fact that they probably had the money to spend on a really nice, hi-def camera. There are plenty more factors that I could name to prevent me from starting my YouTube channel making videos like those.
Yes, I realize I should be more confident in myself. I'm not an idiot. I just have so many flaws and those girls that already make those videos look so pretty and flawless. That's why I've started a "look better" routine. Work out everyday, wash face, and practice a make up routine to get better with it. Maybe in a year or so my hair will grow out longer and I'll feel prettier... Then when I can, I'll move to Miami Beach, Florida. Then... I think I'd be good to go. It's a long process, but I think it would be rewarding. Delayed Gratification? I don't know.
Moving on, just because I'm not 100% confident in myself doesn't mean you shouldn't be. Society pressures women to look like hot models. But not all of us can achieve that. Don't let anyone tell you you're not good enough.
Tell me your thoughts on society. What do you think about society's outlook on women? Thanks friends:)

Living the Dream
There are plenty of people out there that would love to live somewhere other than where they're at now. For instance, I've wanted to live in many different places. I wanted to live in LA, New York City, Miami, etc.
We all want these amazing things and to be in amazing places. Some want to travel, some want adventure, others may want to stay where they are and take care of their family. What I'm trying to say is that we all want something. We all feel like there is something missing from our lives. The hardest part of knowing this awful fact, is that either we don't know what we want, or we do know what we want, but we are unable to get it. Whether its financial reasons or there is another obstacle in the way, we just can't seem to be happy until we get what we want. Totally understandable.
I'm here to tell you that it is possible. A good tip, probably the best tip you could ever receive: find a mentor.
Yeah that might sound weird. But it's true. Find someone that has whatever it is that you want, befriend them, and you will learn to get whatever it is. Most people would say, "but I hate people." You know what I have to say about that? Suck it up cupcake. The world is full of people, might as well get used to them. Another things you might think is, "that will take too long." Umm yeah. It does take awhile to find a mentor, and learn. But the thing is, success doesn't come overnight. If you somehow achieve "success" overnight, 1) it's not success 2) it won't last long 3) you did something wrong. Sorry, but the truth hurts sometimes.
I'm not trying to make people feel bad. I'm just giving helpful tips. It's always best to find and learn from someone with fruit on the tree. That's what I do.
Tell me what goals and dreams you have. I'm super interested in hearing about them. Thanks friends:)

Homeschool Is Hard
Most of my friends that I have discussed homeschooling with say that it's either stupid or unnecessary. Most people think that public school is the way to go. Partially because you have the opportunity to make more friends. But also because it's easier. Their reasoning, you can cheat off of other people. You'll never fail. This is the exact reason I left public school. Towards the end of my sophomore year, I realized the lack of character and integrity in my high school. I did not want to be consumed by that kind of behavior. So after my junior year had started, I talked with my mother about homeschool as an option. She said it was fine and we started filling out paperwork. By second semester, I was enrolled.
It's a shame to say I wish I didn't enroll. It's not that it's harder or anything, it's that I don't learn the same way as this new school. It's difficult to learn without guidance.
It's been decided that I will return to public school next year. But I won't be going to the same school. I'm always excited to try something new. The fact that it's just school makes it even better. I'm only going to get my credits and then graduate. So I won't e participating in the band like I did the last three years. I will be taking only the 4 necessary core classes and co-op. So then I should only have 4 real classes then get out of school at 1:45 to either do a job or whatever else it is that I will be doing.
I'd love to hear about your school experiences! What is your school like? Do you like it? Would you rather be homeschooled? Let me know. Thanks friends:)

Been A While
Yes I realize I haven't been keeping up with the posts. I'm quite sorry for that. I will tell you I did finish the series. I won't go into detail of what happened though. Basically, it ended with the bad guy dying, Sylar turned into a good guy, and Claire gave away the secret that there were people with abilities. That was the very last episode. I'm quite disappointed though. That was where the season was cancelled. I'm curious to know why. It's probably because they started losing viewers. The storyline got really confusing after season and so did the superpowers. Like seriously, they just started giving people abilities to control elements. It's ridiculous.
Anyways, after the last season, there were so many places they could have taken it. But then again, they might have ended up copying the previous 2 seasons. There would have been a mass relocation of people with abilities and there would have been a scientist trying to develop a serum that either got rid of or gave someone an ability. So I guess you could say it was very predictable.
In a way, I'm glad they didn't keep going. I would missing school to watch it like I did for the past week. I was considering starting to watch the Lost series, but it's really long and confusing. Worse than Heroes, so I think I'll take a break from the weird TV series' and focus on my music for awhile.
I'd love to know what you thought about the Heroes series! Let me know! Also, tell me what kind of music you like! What's your favorite genre? Who's your favorite band/artist? I'm interested in other people's taste in music. Thanks friends!

Heroes Season2WrapUp/Season3StartUp
Okay yeah, I watched a bunch today. I finished season 2 and I'm halfway through season 3. Oh lord, there is soooo much I have to go over. Unfortunately, it's 1:15, so I'm pretty tired.
Basically, the entire point of season 2 was to show that there was a virus that takes away someone's ability. Mohinder tries to find a cure for it but instead finds a serum that will give someone abilities. He injects himself with it and becomes a monster. You would think being the genius he is, he would have known there would be precautions. Freaking idiot.
It also turns out that the Petrelli's father is still alive. He has the power to take away anyone's ability, like Sylar, only he doesn't have to kill them. Speaking of Sylar...
The Petrelli's mother, Angela, tells Sylar that he is her son. Later on, Aurther Petrelli admits to it as well. He becomes Aurthurs new "apprentice" or something. And he hooks up with Elle. I cried.
Eventually, Nathan, Peter, and Matt all find the Shanti Virus and destroy it.
Season 3 is where everyone is switching sides. Claire becomes evil. Peter absorbs Sylar's power and turns evil. I don't even know what side Nathan is on. It's hard to tell with him. But the strangest thing is that Sylar becomes a good guy for a while. Then the eclipse happens. When it happened, everyone lost their abilities temporarily. There was a fight between Elle, Sylar, Claire, and her dad. Claire got shot and actually died because her powers weren't working. When the eclipse was over, she came back. Sylar also realized that he wasn't cut out to be a good guy and Noah tells him that the Petrelli's aren't his real family. So he goes and kills Elle. Yay!
I know this is a crappy update and I didn't cover everything. Really sorry about that. It's now 1:26 and I'm super tired. But please, I invite you to join me as I finish up this season and let me know what your thoughts and opinions are of it. No spoilers please! Thanks friends:)

Heroes Season1WrapUp/Season2StartUp
Hey friends! So, after three or four days, I have finally finished season one. It was, OMG, amazing. I loved it. If you haven't gotten through it yet, I totally recommend you do that. It was so crazy. I just started season two this morning and I'm four episodes in. They have introduced a few new characters with some really weird powers. I feel like Tom Kring could have done a better job at giving the new characters better powers. I mean seriously, a girl that makes people die by turning their eyes apps into mush, her brother that 'magically' calms her down, and some random chick that sees an action then performs it perfectly. Like, I guess the powers somehow go with the story, I just haven't watched enough yet.
Even though there are some things I thought could've done better, there were some things I thought were perfect. Number one: Peter shirtless. Number two: Claire and West. They are too cute. I was freaking out when I saw her cut off her toe. Partially because it freaked me out, but also because West was watching her in the window. Obviously she can't do something like that without someone noticing. I was also thinking they maybe the dog would eat it... But that's just me. Regardless, their relationship is the cutest. The fact that he can fly makes it even more perfect. When they were on the beach and she found out that her father took him to his lab, I almost started crying. I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens when her father finds out about West. I'm really looking to see Wests reaction when he finds out who Claire's father is.
Now, Hiro is someone I haven't talked about yet. It's so sad seeing Ando on his own. Well, he still hangs around Hiro's father, but when he dies, Ando goes back to Japan alone. What is he supposed to do. I only got to the part where he is reading the notes that Hiro left him in Kazei's sword. The reason Hiro put those messages there is because after he killed Sylar, he teleported to the 1600's and met the real Kazei. Turns out, he's British. I know. Weird. Anyways, so Hiro stays there to turn Kazei into an actual hero, because before he got there, Kazei was a drunk, thief, and a cheat. After he saves Kazei, he has to go home, but for some reason, he can't. I haven't gotten far enough to know why not.
Nikki leaves Vegas and takes Micah to New Orleans. He's there to stay with his cousins on DL's side. That's where we meet a new character, Monica. This is the girl that sees some action then repeats it perfectly. Right now, where I am, she's not important. I'll leave it at that.
Matthew and Mohinder have taken in the little girl, Molly. Her power is that she can think about anyone, then find where they are on a map. That's a really cool power, in my opinion. So it turns out, that Matthews father is the bad guy killing people. He killed Hiro's father. Matthew asks Molly to find him. But she doesn't want to because when she looks for him, he sees her. She does it anyway because she knows that Matthew can stop him. Unfortunately, when she finds him.... He finds her. I think his power is trapping people in dreams because she is trapped, but her body is still there in Mohinder's apartment. Matthew reads her mind and she is screaming for help. I'm a bit concerned. I know that Matthew is going to go after his father. But will he find Molly there? Ugh I can't wait to watch it.
Last people I will talk about are the new characters, Maya and Alejandro. They are fugitives in Honduras and they are trying to find Dr. Suresh in NY. On their way, guess who they find..... SYLAR. Yeah... He's alive. Candace found him and started helping him get better and heal his wound. But when he finds out what her power is, he kills her. The bad thing is, he can't seem to use his powers. So he leaves the shack and passes out in the middle of the road where Maya and Alejandro find him. After a while, he finds out their powers and I'm guessing he's plotting to kill them. I have only gotten as far as him finding out.
I'd love to hear what you think about the series. No spoilers please. I invite you to watch the series with me. I'll update ASAP about what I have seen. All these twists and turns are making cringe. Not in a bad way. Just the fact that these are GREAT twists. Every episode, I probably say OMG three times. This is crazy.

Heroes Season 1
So I recently started watching the Heroes Series on hulu. It's quite interesting. If some random girl that doesn't know much about philosophy or movies, she would probably say that M. Night Shamylan must have directed it because of all the twists. Well here's whats wrong with that:
1) It's too good of a series to be directed by him
and
2) The twists aren't BAD twists.
In my opinion, I think the only good movie M. Night directed was The Sixth Sense. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.
Anyways, back to my point: Heroes is a series where basically all of the characters have a genetic mutation in their G-Nome structure which gives them each unique abilities. The whole objective (as far as I know) is to stop a bomb from going off in New York. They must all unite together to save the world. Only 15 episodes into the first season and I'm hooked. My dad had seen it when it first started airing on NBC and he was also hooked. I never really thought it was cool back in 2006, partially because I was only 10, but also because those things just didn't appeal to me. But now that I'm older, I'm more interested in the paranormal and logical thinking. There are some things in this series so far that I would like to question. *SPOILER ALERT* If you have not watched this series or are planning to watch this, I wouldn't advise reading any further. I'm only in episode 15 but there are still so many spoilers.
I do have to question how they came up with every twist. What I'm most confused about is how Peter ends up being the atomic bomb? His power is absorbing the powers of others when they're near. He learns how to receive their powers again when they aren't around when he meets the invisible man, but what does that have to do with anything. I guess what I don't understand is how any of that leads up to him exploding. It makes no sense. I know I haven't gotten that far into it and I just need to keep watching, but I know that everyone was thinking this when they were watching the series.
Also, what's Sylar's deal? I get he's a nut job and all and I see his logic behind things (lol get it? Cause Spock thinks logically.....nevermind), but HOW did he get his powers? When Dr. Suresh came to see him, it was revealed that he didn't really have any powers and it was just a mistake, but he then took that Brian guys powers.... It makes no sense at all. Again, I just need to keep watching.
I invite you to join me as I watch the series and update on what my thoughts are. I would also like to hear your thoughts on the series. I just ask that no one spoils anything for anyone else. That would defeat the purpose. If you have already seen the entire series, I'd love to know what your thoughts were going along. But remember: NO SPOILERS! Thank you so much and I'll update ASAP.
