What I'm Listening To: Love Don't Cost A Thing-JLo
This is old news, but I had to blog about it anyway. So apparently Tyra is going to write a fiction novel called "Modelland" as well as Lo Bosworth, a girl from The Hills. It's called the Lo-Down. Creative I know. The latter is a book on dating.
The other reason that I've been slightly distant from the blog is because I've simply needed a break from everything. Literally everything. I've been holed up in my room watching marathons of House and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. One thing that I've noticed about myself, in terms of the shows I choose to watch, is that I'm a huge fan of paranormal romance. For some reason, it just makes it that much more heightened and real because there's usually always a problem and danger. My favorite shows either have this type or romance or comedy because on the romance side, there's so much drama and then the other side is the comic relief that I desperately need afterwards. In the following, you will either know what I'm talking about or be almost completely lost, but bear with me as I'm only going to use three examples:
Exhibit A: Charmed (more specifically Cole and Phoebe)
Cole was a demon and Phoebe was a witch. Witches fight and kill demons so there was already drama right there. Cole was only supposed to manipulate her so that he could kill she and her sisters, but then he fell in love and turned good. Then the Source infected Cole and he became completely evil, but Phoebe thought he was still in love with her but he was only using her. She even found out that he was the Source and became his queen in the underworld. But eventually, he tried to usurp the world and kill her sisters, and she had to make a choice between him and her sisters and kills him with the other two sisters.
Exhibit B: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Buffy and Angel)
Oh, Buffy and Angel. This is classic: a vampire and a vampire slayer falling in love. What are the odds? Clearly he was bad before, now he's trying to atone for his sins, then after they make love, POOF he goes bad again because he loses his soul. He commits a few murders, basically acts like a world class jerk. This is rather human/juvenile behavior, not necessarily "I'm an evil vampire who's lived for over 200 years" behavior. Here's what I don't get/am opposed to: he's bad, but he's still clearly obsessed with her and reverts to basically stalker tricks. Then FINALLY, Buffy's friend Willow is able to curse him again with a soul, but the last thing he did while he was still bad vamp was awaken a demon who will swallow the world into hell and all the humans with it. The way he could awaken it was with his blood and Buffy learns that the only way they could defeat the demon Acathla was with Angel's blood as well. So literally a minute before the demon awakens, Angel has his soul back, there's a tearful reunion and some kissing, and then the world starts to go to hell. Buffy doesn't have a choice (well she does, but it's rather obvious what she has to do), so she tells Angel to close his eyes and then stabs him through with a sword and he goes to hell along with the demon. That was so brutal to watch (but then in the next season they resurrect him, but then he leaves later in the season and there's more angsty stuff)
Appendix a: The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Arwen and Aragorn)
This is not a show, but it's three movies that I simply adore. This is the most amazing, pure relationship that I've ever seen. An elf and a mortal in a relationship. Elves live forever and mortals die, so clearly that's a problem. Arwen gives up her mortality for Aragorn and waits for him through the years as he's on his quest, refusing to go away to the undying lands with her people, and not knowing if Aragorn has remarried because he thought that she did go. Aragorn drew strength from Arwen's memory and stayed true to her (even though there was that pesky Eowyn who we all had to feel sorry for) and they eventually met again and married. It makes me want a little Evenstar necklace of my own (I am such a LOTR geek).
Appendix b: Alias (Vaughn and Sydney)
This isn't paranormal, but it was so UNBELIEVABLY ANGST filled that I had to include it. The abridged version of all of the painful, but delicious seasons: The appeal of this show is that it's so filled with secrets, betrayal, espionage, and world travel, plus wigs and costumes that it was almost paranormal for me. Sydney is a secret agent for SD-6, an agency that she once thought was the CIA (before they murdered her fiancee). Then she goes to work for the real CIA and Vaughn is assigned to be her handler. He clearly cannot stay professional with her and begins to care for her. Sydney reciprocates those feelings and then we're hit with a bombshell: he has a girlfriend (tangent: I LOVED Michael Vartan playing Vaughn in this show, but Vaughn was SUCH a complete tool). Then finally he breaks up with the girlfriend and he and Sydney begin to go out. Everything is fabulous, and then suddenly, Sydney basically goes into a coma for two years, but everyone else thinks she's dead and Sydney thinks that only a day has passed. So then they send Vaughn over and he happens to be married (all right, if the love of your life died, personally, I think it would take longer than two years for you to get over them and marry someone else). This is where the uber angst factor comes in and Sydney now has to work with Vaughn and his wife Lauren in the CIA. The kicker is that Lauren is a spy sent to get CIA secrets from Vaughn by marrying him. Vaughn and Sydney eventually figure this out and then as Lauren is about to kill Sydney, Vaughn kills her. So now we're back to the happy time and Sydney and Vaughn start dating again for about a season. He asks her to marry him, she's pregnant with his child, everything is good, and then they're going on the vacation that they never got to take, and a car runs into them. Apparently Vaughn works for a another agency so that he can try to find his father, and they off him. (I can't believe they killed the eye candy off of the show. That's probably the reason why I have yet to watch the rest of the 5th season, besides the fact that they got rid of a lot of people.) I think he eventually comes back and guest stars, but it still made me mad. That ranks as the most angsty relationship EVER.
So if you like drama and angst or heightened emotional feelings, feel free to check out a couple of these shows.

The 5 Date Rule
What I'm Listening To: Now or Never-Josh Groban
I was watching I Hate Valentine's Day (just because I was bored and am on a slight break from watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and the big concept in the movie was one of the 5 date rule. Apparently five dates is the maximum number that a couple can have before what they have constitutes as a relationship and people start to get hurt. I think that the concept was very interesting, but the execution faulty. The main character's motto was "when the romance is gone, let's just move on." I think most of this thinking and her unwillingness to take risks was because she was hurt in her relationship with her father. Here are the guidelines for the dates according to her:
Date 1: breath less flirting
Date 2: broaden your horizons
Date 3: the adventurous date
Date 4: fun and fabulous
Date 5: make it the best date ever
What do you think about the system and would you ever try it?
Also, Nathan Bransford had an interesting post on his blog about the one book that every writer should read A lot of people picked Stephen King's On Writing, some The Art of Fiction by John Gardner, or Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott. For some reason there were a lot of votes for The Great Gatsby as well. All aspiring authors should at least have one of these books in their arsenal of books to become better writers, if they so choose.
There was also a good post about audience development from Writers Unboxed that people should read as well.
In addition, Rachelle Gardner has a great analysis of a query letter. If you haven't been looking at agent's responses to query letters, you should do so because they are the authority on what is a good one. Even though they all have different answers and preferences about what should stay or go, most of the time they will be in sync as far as the requirements and have good advice that can be applicable to all.

Shoe Mania
What I'm Listening To: You Reign-Mercy Me
Lately I've been getting random down time to sit in Ingraham. Why haven't I been blogging you ask? The answer: exam season has hit and is in full swing. It's actually doesn't officially start until next week, but with all of the projects and exams that they give you up until the week of the test, I've been extending the period. I have a five page paper due in Spanish tomorrow that I have the introduction and all of my quotes done (which is why I really shouldn't be blogging), but needed to get something off of my chest.
I have decided to up my shoe game. Yes, it needs upping since I recently upgraded my closet and bought some fabulous essentials, including this funky denim dress with multi-colored ruffles on the bottom of it that I'm going to wear to a banquet on Friday. I started looking about two weeks ago, and decided that I was going to buy comfortable shoes. I am tired of buying shoes and they feel fine in the store, but then try walking or standing in them for about four hours and then you'll really see what your definition of comfort is. The problem is, I want style AND comfort. but apparently that is too much to ask. The top brands that promise exclusive comfort and style are Stuart Weitzman or Cole Haan, but they run upwards of $200. Some women also swear that their Jimmy Choos or other designer shoes are comfortable, but being a college student, I can't really up and buy a pair of Jimmy Choos every couple of months, especially if I'm trying to megaboost my shoe game. So I hunted around, and came across Aldo, DSW, and Bakers. I found at least ten pairs of shoes that I like that are $60 or less AND they are stylish and promise comfort as well. So from going to finding no shoes, now I just have to make sure that I have enough money to buy all of them ;)
I ran across two quotes this week that every single woman should have/remember to keep her grounded:
"A woman's heart should be so hidden in God that a man should have to search God just to find her." and also "If you want to find your spouse just run as hard and as fast as you can after God, and then look over and see who’s running next to you."
Both of these were suggested to me by two good friends of mine in indirect ways, and I realized that many women need to be more self-reliant, spiritually and emotionally so that they can better impact the people in their lives and the global community. Also, another thing that I have been doing is watching Heroes in my free time and to be honest, I'm not sure how I feel about the show yet. I should probably get back to writing this paper, as I have a Council meeting, hopefully the last one I'll be expected to go to forever. Until my next probably belated post.

Chatroulette
What I'm Listening To: Everyday (Family Reunion)
Tell me why I have watched Madea's Family Reunion like three times in the past four days. I think it's the best movie of the Tyler Perry movies. It has just the right amount of comedy and drama to make it work, and plus Boris Kodjoe. The acting was spot on, and basically, I loved it.
Midterms are still raging, so I haven't been able to get on as much as I'd like. I came up with another book idea. It seems as though I can't write them fast enough because I have a file of sixteen books that I plan to write. Hopefully, I will write them all in the next ten years or so. If I was really ambitious, I'd say five. I could probably do it, except I am a realist. There is so much that I want to do, like become classically trained at the piano, be fluent in Spanish, learn French, finish the series I'm already working on, and take kickboxing or martial arts or something.
Speaking of Spain, I got accepted to the study abroad program in Madrid for a year. I'm going to Spain for a year! I am so excited and happy and thrilled about it. Even though I might be set back a year for my other major, I feel as though this will be worth it and it will only make me want to learn French that much more. I have so many plans and so many things that I want to do in the future, but I realize that I might never get to accomplish some of them.
Today I watched 500 Days of Summer, and I didn't think it was all that great. At the end, I was really confused and then I felt like they were both immature and didn't know what they wanted out of their relationship and that's why it ended weirdly. It received glowing reviews, so maybe I missed something or maybe it just wasn't my cup of tea (I think the latter). It's interesting that some people call it a comedy; I thought it had plenty of awkward moments and it just grew more and more depressing after a while. So I don't know, it was interesting. Any of you like it?
I also went on a women's retreat this weekend, and it was amazing. I truly feel refreshed (even though I hit my head on a wall while playing capture the flag and practically got a concussion) and awesome. Another weird thing is that people have told me about Chatroulette. It's this really weird internet site where you go on and immediately come into contact with strangers who can video chat and type chat with you. If you don't want to chat with them you click next, and the next totally random person comes on. It's addicting, and apparently the Jonas Brothers go on it, so...
I'm going to attempt to write more of my book, or possibly go to sleep. Hopefully my next post won't be as delayed

The 80/20 Rule (relationship wise)
What I'm Listening To: When I Grow Up-Pussycat Dolls
I'm doing a little bit of research on names, but besides that, I think that the book is coming along nicely. I have this really weird habit when I'm naming one of my characters--I go and look at a baby names generator online and come up with one I think will fit. One generator that I particularly like is really well designed and has baby names by country, origin, language, alphabetically, etc. It's the most effective and easiest for me to use. For my new book, I wanted to create really exotic names because the characters are anything but ordinary. I picked from the Akkadian language, Persian, Aztec, Gaelic, Asian, and even Arabic names to find names for my characters.
Still a lot to do for the Vagina Monologues, and I have a ton of homework to do for each of my classes. My friends were over last night and we were watching Meet the Browns, but what we really wanted to see again was Why Did I Get Married? because it has the 80/20 rule in it. Apparently that's when a person in a relationship has 80% of what they need. Many times, it feels like 100% until something goes wrong and then the person focuses on what they don't have. Suddenly, a person comes along who has what your partner is lacking in. It could be beauty, listening skills, money, etc. So you leave the 80% and go to the 20% only to realize that the 20% can't satisfy you and then the regret period follows. It was a pretty interesting concept.
Now I just really need to focus on doing the rest of the research for these names and then I should be all set to go to write!

Top 10 Traits of a Christian Boyfriend
What I'm Listening To: Beautiful-Snoop Dogg
Thought this was so interesting, so I decided to share it. Personally, I think many of the traits should be a part of every man who wants to be with a woman. The end of the article said this:
"Bottom line: He is loving, complimenting, sincere, committed, caring, respectable, honest, trustworthy (yes, they go together). Because of our humanness, none of us is perfect. However those qualities that you see exhibited in his life now, reveal the ways he handles circumstances that will arise at a later date or if you should both decide that your relationship is serious and leads to marriage. You should compliment each other, as you learn of the other's strengths and weaknesses."
That is so true. I would even rename the article and you can read the full article here. I also read the article for the top 10 traits for the Christian girlfriend. That one was so down to earth I thought it was hilarious.
Happy New Year everyone! It's 2010! Sorry I'm so late in wishing you all a fabulous year. I also read my horoscope for the year last night and it said that this is going to be the year to get things done. I've been pretty optimistic about the book lately, almost done with the first run through and getting ready to do another run through soon. I just ordered a lot of books on Amazon (most about writing books), but the fun reading that I did buy was the Wicked Lovely series by Melissa Marr. I can already tell that they are going to be amazing and can't wait to start reading them. I love fantasy stories about fairies or mythical creatures. It's the ultimate book experience because these authors literally transport you to another world or immerse your world with elements from another world.
That's basically it for now, I've just been writing in my room and pounding out some things. I think next or soon I'll post my bucket list and let you see what I've come up with. Revel in the beginning of your new year ;)

Relationship #1: Qualified, Bonified Freshmen (FIND THEM PLEASE)
What I'm Listening To: I'm Not Dead-Pink
I usually don't comment about relationships or whatever because I think so many people do that, but today something caught my attention. So today my friend and I were talking about the phenomenon going on at our campus. It involves men dating freshmen girls. This is just something random that we noticed. Apparently there is a lack of testosterone in Wisconsin and men expect women to go up to them. Strike there. Another thing is that older boys are really into freshman girls (and for only one reason...) The reason I say this is because 1) they are not cute 2) they are not smart 3) they are not qualified. The majority of them at least. The reason that I say this, is because it's true. You have to be an extra special freshman or I think guys should be able to find someone their own age if they weren't acting like adolescent, hormonal teenagers. For instance, as a freshman, I was Miss Black and Gold Wisconsin 2009, I was the Editor-in-chief of a magazine, I was an honors student, I made Deans List, I was a PEOPLE scholar and a part of the Academic Advancement Program, I had just finished writing a book, and I was successful and part of two groups. That was why I dated a 5th year senior because 1) I was mature enough 2) I was qualified enough 3) and yes I was successful and beautiful enough. I'm not saying this to brag, Im saying it because it's true and seems slightly ridiculous to me. When sex is the norm, people look past the qualifications to settle for something cheap. I saw a Facebook status that said it best
"Good girls are at the top of the apple tree. Some boys are afraid of falling so they pick the apples from the lower branches and are unsatisfied. But only the brave boys are strong enough to go the distance to the top and be fulfilled."
I'm just sayiing, if you're dating a freshman, please have some sense and do it for another reason besides the fact that she's turning tricks in your bed every night. Make sure she's cute at least, make sure she's doing her own thing, and make sure she's QUALIFIED and can compliment you. End of rant ;)
