Happy Halloween!

What's your favorite candy? What's one you really hate?
I like Chupa Chups and Kit Kats and Coffee Crisp. Almost anything you can get at a 7-11!
I don't like really chewy candies though, so Tootsie Rolls and caramel squares are put aside.

Who went trick or treating? I know Halloween is a big thing here in Canada and the States but I've heard that some people in Europe still dress up.

I went to school as Rolling Girl (Hatsune Miku) without the wig and I went to KK's house to watch movies as Humanstuck! Gamzee Makara (without face paint).

We watched two movies, Easy A and Iron Man 2.

Well that's all for now, in the meantime please enjoy Megurine Luka's Double Lariat!


Don't give up!

Les Miserables

I think if I had to pick one musical to watch over and over again it would be Les Miserables.
I've seen both the 10th anniversary and the 25th anniversary concerts, so I'm really excited that the movie will come out soon!

Two other movies I'm excited about are Iron Man 3 (April 26, 2013), Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier (April 4, 2014), Thor 2: The Dark World (November 8, 2013) and The Wolverine (July 26, 2013).


Watch the Iron Man 3 trailer!

Cracked by K. M Walton


I have another book recommendation for you guys! 

Cracked
by K. M. Walton



This is also another book about suicide, or rather attempted suicide and bullying.
There are two main characters, Victor and Bull, who both have their own problems to deal with at home.  
The summary on the inside of the flap cover says:

"Sometimes there's no easy way out.

Victor hates his life. He has no friends, gets beaten up at school, and his parents are always criticizing him. Tired of feeling miserable, Victor takes a bottle of his mother's sleeping pills—only to wake up in the hospital.

Bull is angry, and takes all of his rage out on Victor. That makes him feel better, at least a little. But it doesn't stop Bull's grandfather from getting drunk and hitting him. So Bull tries to defend himself with a loaded gun.

When Victor and Bull end up as roommates in the same psych ward, there's no way to escape each other or their problems. Which means things are going to get worse—much worse—before they get better…"

Sharks After Dark?

Hey guys, so I came back from our first school dance "Sharks After Dark" and it was okay.
KK and I sold water and used the chance to practice with our Gamzee and KK makeup!
It's a good thing we did because we figured we should use some lotion or something underneath.
Everything was good and we sold almost two cases of water ($2!) but at the end of the dance everything was going so quickly and some people took our water for free.


Also, I decided that today I would forgive some people. That I wouldn't hold a grudge anymore.
I felt so light after making that decision. On Twitter and Tumblr and stuff, people always say that the one to forgive will be the happiest, but I never really believed it.
It's just too tiring giving those type of people any thought. I'm also trying to be a better person (at least on the outside) so it works.

I signed up for Japanese Exchange today.

P.S! Did you know that Vocaloids have their own concerts in Japan?

I love the slow part in the beginning.

YouTube Inspirations

Leda Monster Bunny!
She's a YouTuber under the username hailedabear.



I absolutely adore her hair! She's so pretty and nice too! Now that I've seen her, I kind of want to get short layers in my hair again.




Bunny Meyer

Her eyes are really that blue!!
I'm extremely jealous of all of Bunny's shoes and makeup. She's so nice and positive, plus she helped me decide that it's okay to be different than other people.


Have a great day everyone!

Rant

So a couple days ago I wrote about Amanda Todd's suicide. What is really bothering me now is that people are saying things like "she deserved it" and "suicide is for cowards" and making fun of her, even when she's ALREADY DEAD.

Sure, we only know things from her point of view. Yes, she could have done other things we don't know about, but you know what? That doesn't matter anymore.

Think about it. She made a mistake. Hell, she could have made a boatload of mistakes. That doesn't give anyone the right to pursue her after she moved schools and tried to put things behind her.
As a high school student, I know how fast rumors spread.

And regarding the idea that "suicide is for cowards". Really? Have you ever been suicidal? Suicide is a thought that happens when one can't stand living anymore, for whatever reason. Depression. Being bullied. Abuse. Anything.
Suicide is when someone feels like nothing in the world is worth living for.
When your mind is so tormented that you can't see any ray of light.
You think "If I could just end this. If I could escape, things would be better. I could start over again."

No one deserves to be judged. No matter what they do. People are people.

Now, people may think that I'm "jumping on the bandwagon" which is not true. Suicide is a topic that is very important for me.

Rant over.

May Angels Lead You In

R.I.P Amanda Todd.

Today I found out that a girl who had been bullied in school killed herself.
I didn't know her.
She lived in Maple Ridge, but had moved to Coquitlam recently.

About a month ago, she posted a video on YouTube, describing her life.
She committed suicide yesterday.



More on this topic can be found: here.

I wish I knew her. I wish I could've been there for her.
If you are being bullied or feel suicidal please ask for help. Talk to someone. Talk to me. I want to help.

Sick

I've been sick lately.
It's a combination of a runny nose, allergies, sore throat and sneezing.
Yesterday I had to wake up at 4 am to take some cough medicine!

I have been in bed all day.
So today my mom brought me home these!


They taste nice.

Rant

Well today we came back from Mega Comic Con and outside of the mall, there was this lady wearing Ed Hardy.
Like ALL Ed Hardy.

She looked at KK (who was dressed as Just Be Friends Luka) and said "That Sailor Moon looks is so out. You're so behind, it's like 10 years ago."
When KK didn't answer her (she was talking to her parents), the lady said, "Hey you in the pink hair. I'm talking to you, you know. I can see you speak English."
Neither KK or Shione heard this lady but I heard her and I got pissed off. I thought about telling her that KK wasn't Sailor Moon, but then I realized it was futile.
This bitch just wanted to piss us off. We were just minding our own business, standing apart from them.
And then the lady went into the mall, but before she went in, she said it again "That Sailor Moon look is so out of style. I'm talking to you."

Shione and I got pissed off later on, but KK didn't. I get bothered when people judge me, or people I'm with. There was no need for her to be rude!

Okay, rant over.
But just so you know, Ed Hardy is out. And she had some unsightly tattoos as well.

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

Thirteen Reasons Why
By Jay Asher





I picked up this book at the library yesterday. I thought it would be good and it had great reviews.
I wasn't disappointed!

The subject of this book is suicide.
I am only going to write a brief summary because I'm hoping that people will want to read this book.
Please do.


The summary on the back of the book states:

"You can't stop the future. 
You can't rewind the past. 
The only way to learn the secret... 
is to press play.

Clay Jensen doesn't want anything to do with the tapes Hannah Baker made. 
Hannah is dead. Her secrets should be buried with her.
The Hannah's voice tells Clay that his name is on her tapes- and that he is, in some way, responsible for her death. 
All through the night, Clay keeps listening. He follows Hannah's recorded words throughout his small town... and what he discovers changes his life forever."

Thirteen Reasons Why follows the story of a boy named Clay Jensen and his involvement in the suicide of Hannah Baker.

I hope this books enlightens the teenage and young adult community that words do hurt. Things made up as a joke can ruin peoples lives.

Well, that's all for now! Thirteen Reasons Why is available in 31 languages so check out your library today~

Whoa

WHOA. WHAT IS THIS.

1107 views? Yesterday I was only at 1054!

WHERE DID YOU ALL COME FROM?

Was there a mass spam or something that directed you guys here?
Am I getting more popular?? I wish.

Well, I'm sure that some people just came on here by accident.
I bet some people just clicked a link and went "What the hell! This isn't what I was looking for! Thanks for wasting my time you jerk."

But for those people who actually read my blog (You guys are out there somewhere right? It's not just accidental clicks onto my blog right? Right? Now I'm getting worried..)

Thank you so much!

Everyone, be prepared. I'm going to start blogging about the woes of an NHL lockout soon~

It's way more official now that people like Landeskog and Duchene are signing in the Swedish Elite League.

Lately, I've been focusing more on the Canucks AHL team, the Chicago Wolves. Their season is starting soon, and they will be coming to play the Heat on the 19th and 20th. I'm not sure if I'll be going but since I have no other hockey (except Giants!) I may go to more Heat games.

Homestuck


Ben Nye for Gamzee and Karkat!



Meulin horns! One looks nice and the other doesn't because I just gave up after the model magic became too dry and started to wrinkle.
