Another Novel Idea??

What do you think?

What if we only fell for the person we were meant to be with? What if we never feell for anyone that wasn’t our true love? We would never have to feel the sting of puppy love, and never the hurt of losing a first love. We would no longer have to feel the pain of rejection. Rejection wouldn’t even exist. No one would even know what it was. No one would ever have to worry if the other person liked them back, they would just know. What if everyone just instantly knew? The definition of ‘love at first sight’ would be redefined. Everyone would feel calm. Everyone would feel loved.

                What if the spell was broken? What if after everyone got use to love at first sight, love at first sight no longer existed; or at least it wasn’t so obvious? No one would know who to love. No one would know how to love. Rejection? Everyone would live in fear of rejection, more than they do now. The pain of being rejected would be too much for everyone to handle. They would live their lives in fear of rejection and heartache. They would hide their love and their feelings.

                Love: Hidden away in the dark, lost to a city afraid of rejection.

                Life: What is life without being loved?

                Will things ever be the same? Will they embrace love and rejection, or will they live life in the dark, forever fearful?

p.s. More to come. I came up with this today in Geometry.

Season of the Witch

Starring Nicholas Cage

Today I had the pleasure of attending Season of the Witch, with my father today at Celebration Cinema Rivertown. I really enjoyed this movie. It mixed history, religious thought, horror, and suspense. Nicholas Cage did a great job conveying his character and the other actors/actress did a great job. Also, in my opinion Robert Sheehan was gorgeous. His dark curls and beautiful eyes made me fall head over heels for him and his character.

 This movie did a great job of combining Historical Fact, such as the Crusades, The black Plaque, and the power of the church and also fantasy and religion. Naturally movies that have something to do with religion give me the creeps, but I promise this movie is different than other movies. It may be clichéd for me to say this, but I was literally on the edge of my seat the whole time, from beginning to end.

A short summary of Season of the Witch: The movie starts out with three women being hung for witchery and making pacts with the Devil. The priest or pope in this story does not get a chance to finish saying the spell that will keep the witch from ever coming back. WE then go to Nicholas Cage fighting in the Crusades (which, if you did not know. The crusades are a time when European people went to other empires to fight and kill people “for God”. They kill people of other religions because they have sinned. All in all it really is terrible, but they don’t get into this in the movie. Thank you AP world history for giving me all this background knowledge). Eventually he figures out how wrong the crusades are, and he leaves. When he returns back The Black Plague has struck. To stop the plaque, him and few other people (including Robert Sheehan) have to take ‘the witch’ to the ultimate church so they can say some sort of spell or scripture to get rid of the witch. The Witch has power over the men though. Will she drive them all mad? Will she turn them against each other?

I do not suggest this movie to people that are very sensitive, or have weak stomach. There are some extremely gruesome parts in this movie. But it is great, do not let the disturbing scenes fool you. This movie is excellent! I hope you get a chance to check it out and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I left the movie theater with many mixed emotions about the subject matter of the movie, but none of them were negative. I would probably go see it again, if given the chance. It gave me a lot to think about, and it was a very strong, emotional, thought provoking movie. Enjoy!

p.s. This is my first movie review, it isn’t very good. I’ll try to get better!

In your head?

Have you ever heard of the term: “The Person in your head”?

                Well, earlier this month I first heard this term, when I was reading a book called Dash and Lily’s Book of Dares. Basically, what this means I when you don’t really know someone very well, and then you start to imagine what you want them to be like. Ultimately, most people become disappointed by the real thing because they’ve built this fake person in their head.

                I honestly think that this is one of my biggest problems in life. I create too many things that are just “in my head”. I don’t just do this with people either, I do this with event and situations as well. It sucks. Take this very moment for example. There is this guy in one of my classes, and I don’t know much about him. From what I have seen, hear, experienced from him he is a nice guy, a gentleman. I think I kind of like him. I mean I obviously don’t love him or anything, but I’m attracted to him. The bad thing is, that since I don’t know him very well I can make him into whomever I want to believe he is. My imagination can give him any qualities I it wants to because it doesn’t really know him. The problem is, now I have this wonderful idea of him, and chances are, he’s probably nothing like that person. But the bigger problem is that now I’m not even sure that I actually want to get to know him. I don’t want to be crushed when I learn that he’s not the person in my head; even though I already know that he isn’t. Most of the time the person in our head doesn’t even exist, he is just a fantasy guy that isn’t real. He is something you would only find in fiction or on a cheesy sitcom

Funny thing is I’m not even sure I would ever want to meet the person in my head. I think it’d be kind of scary. What would happen if I ever met him? These are the things that haunt me. (Yeah, I just said that. Deal with it.)

                Of course I want to get to know the boy I was referring to earlier, but I’m afraid to. I’m just kind of shy. I haven’t gotten to know a guy in a while, and I’m not sure I will ever get the chance. I’ve tried, (not very well) to talk to him a few times. I could do better, but I probably won’t.

                I had a chance in class today. He was sitting in front of my in class (because one guy [his best friend] was absent, normally he sits two seats in front of me), and I was supposed to pass up a paper. Well, at first he looked at me to see if I had a paper to pass to toward the front; I just looked back at him, he is gorgeous. Then I figured I probably should pass it up, and I could have easily said his name and passed it up. But No, I was too afraid to say his name. Also, it would have made me seem disorganized, which I am no longer. Why am I so shy?? I hate being shy!

                Today in that same class we rolled up paper and were pretending it was a camera. Well, the teacher told us to look through our ‘lens’ and pick an object to focused on. Do you have any clue how much I wanted to pick him. Seriously, I wish I could have just stared at him through my ‘camera’; it would have looked too obvious if I’d chosen him, I would have been staring straight forward and gotten red if anyone asked what I was looking at. So, I looked at a poster instead.

                This boy, I wish you could see him. He gorgeous, well-kept, and clean.

The Boy:

1.       Has short darkish-brown hair. He tries to spike it up in the front a little, but mostly it’s nicely combed and clean.

2.       He has extremely dark eyes. I want to say they’re black but they are probably dark brown, not really sure though.

3.       His eyelashes are wonderful. I am almost jealous of those eyelashes. They are nice.

4.       He wears his uniform with a tie sometimes, it’s cute and professional-ish.

5.       I have talked to him twice through comments on him status.

6.       His is insanely smart and is taking Algebra II in 9^th grade. (That means he’s a year ahead of me in math.)

7.       He is a complete gentleman. The first time I ever noticed him was in class one day, we were in the computer lab. There were four of us at this table, all editing each other’s work; it was three guys and me. They all had chairs and I did not. I didn’t really care that I didn’t have a chair; I just sat at the table on my knees.  He looks at me ‘Oh, you don’t have a chair. Here take mine.’ Me ‘oh no, I’m fine. Thanks but I’m good.’ Him *gets out of his chair* ‘no, here take my chair’ then he gave it to me. That was when I first started to kind of like him. Then, on Tuesday this week we both got to school at the same time. He walked a little faster to get to the door before me, and then held it open for me. Eekk, he’s so brilliant! J

8.       He can imitate a perfect British accent

Seriously, tell me one thing that isn’t great about him. I’m waiting.

You can’t think of anything. I knew it.

        Tomorrow, I’m going to the movies with my dad to see Season of the Witch. Then, afterward, I’m going to get my haircut.

        I’m kind of mad right now because Inkpop has a bunch of glitches. Hacking peoples account and deleting their stories. I hope they fix it soon.
