Happy Halloween, everyone!
Last night, I went to a Halloween Party, and tonight, I'm going Trick or Treating!
And yes, I'm seventeen and Trick or Treating. So what? Running around random roads at night with friends? COME ON!
What's everyone else doing?
And NaNoWriMo starts at midnight! Hooray for writing!
We're doing new, fun stuff in Art now!
A project we're doing that I ADORE and might do more of in my spare time-
We get a long, thin piece of paper. On the left, we draw one animal. And we keep drawing it going to the right of the page- but you have to gradually transform it into a different animal!
It's fun!
I'm doing a kangaroo to a deer, because I need practice with things other than canines and felines for once, lol.
OMFG! I just realized, I don't have college tomorrow! I CAN SLEEP IN!
Who else is participating in NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month?
It starts November 1st. Basically, all you have to do is write at least 50,000 words from November 1st-30th. That's it. It can be one long book, a collection of short stories, a collection of poems, or several moderate stories, or any combination of them!
This year, I've decided to do short stories.
I'm debating on whether or not to make another world for my short stories, including a few NaNoWriMo ones. If others would like to guest post their stories, they'd be able to.
What do you guys think about the new world I'm considering making?
Okay, so, I was randomly accepted into a college I never applied for. Then I got a letter two days ago saying that I had a $12000 per year scholarship for 4 years there.
I don't want it.
You see, I didn't even WANT to apply to this college. I found out that, without my knowing, my mother put the college on my Common Application list. I specifically told her I didn't want to apply to said college when she asked me. She put it on the list anyway.
Here's why I declined:
1. I don't want to go to the school.
2. The art program sucks.
3. It's one of those Catholic colleges where you're actually required to take a religion class. No thanks. Not buying a book for a class I don't even want, and that I'll never use.
4. The design program isn't too good.
5. The classes are too large.
6. I hate the campus.
My family's all like "You should go!". It's not their choice. I don't like how they're trying to pressure me into going. I've made my decisions as to what I want to do and where I would like to go. I want them to stop bothering me about this.
I've been getting harassed some more about not only my atheism, but also other beliefs/interests of mine. Here's some clarification on why I'm the way I am:
1. You were excited about Saw VI coming out. Are you a sadist? Does watching Saw, Chucky, Vampire movies, etc. give you some sort of sick, sexual gratification, you bitch?
No. It does not. Everyone has different interests in movies, books, comics, shows, etc. I tend to like the horror genre the most. Watching Saw or anything with blood and gore does not give me any kind of sexual gratification, and no, I don't plan to imitate anything that goes on in the movies. I like Chucky because I find his character to be unique, and somewhat funny. I mean, come on. A doll that kills people? I find that funny that people are afraid of a doll. Seriously. I like some vampire things, like the Anne Rice books, the show Moonlight, Hellsing, Trinity Blood, and Blood Plus (some Anime) because I like the plots. I'm sure if the Anne Rice books were about werewolves, warlocks, elves, witches, humans, or whatever, I'd still like them because I like her writing style and the plots and the characters. I also like the Saw movies, not because of blood and gore (that post I made about Saw VI being amazing because of it was a joke for my friend), but because they're unique, and I like things that make you think. I mean, horror is alright in general, but when there's plots that actually aren't as they're laid out to be and that you have to think for, I'm into it because it's sort of interactive and you're not just watching "Oh. Girl running from zombies. Girl trips on root. Girl gets eaten by zombies while boyfriend runs. Boyfriend runs to car. Can't fit key in lock because he's shaking. Boyfriend gets eaten by zombies. The End." That gets boring. Oh, and no, I'm not a bitch. I am a female, but I am in no way, shape, or form, a dog. :)
2. You're pro abortion. Murderer.
I'm not pro abortion. I'm pro choice. Not because of my atheism like some believe, but because there are some circumstances where an abortion may benefit the mother. For example, there are women who can be negatively affected by pregnancy. Some may be at risk for heart problems, or even death. I'm in favor of giving choice, not killing every single fetus to come into existance. I mean, I even know people who can be seriously effected or even killed if they were to get pregnant and not be able to terminate it, and I've had cousins who had miscarriages and would have been harmed if the pregnancy weren't terminated.
Also, I understand why there are people who are completely in the "no abortion at all" side. I agree with some of your points, actually. I don't like the idea of women abusing the choice because they choose not to use protection and who just say "Ooops, pregnant again. Gotta make an appointment", and I do believe that there should be more specific regulations on what circumstances abortion should be used, and I also understand that there is another option if the mother doesn't want the baby (putting it up for adoption). Basically, I'm only in favor of it if it's medically necessary.
So how about you look stuff up before you decide to say that it's completely and entirely wrong and evil, alright?
3. You're a vegetarian. That makes you a little pussy, doesn't it? What are you, some obsessive animal rights psycho from PETA?
Yes, I'm a vegetarian. No, I'm not a pussy. Yes, I'm in favor of animal rights. No, I'm not from PETA. Being a vegetarian is not because I'm an obsessive hippie person. I understand that human beings are omnivorous animals and that it's not wrong to eat meat. It's a personal choice, because I don't like seeing dead animals or hearing about animals dying, and I certainly don't want one on my plate. Unfortunately, since I can't go full vegan because of my family health history, I do still have to eat shellfish. I understand that others eat meat, and I respect that. I just don't like the idea of factory farming, either, and also try my hardest not to support it (I only use cage-free eggs, for example).
4. You're an atheist scumbag!
I don't feel like ranting about this one again, so if you would be so kind as to read this previous post, I'd appreciate it.
5. Atheists are all like, you moron. You're all closed minded assholes! Don't try to act like you're different!
I'm sorry, but in all honesty, atheists, as well as many other people of different faiths, are just as open minded as we allow ourselves to be. If I weren't open-minded, then all of my friends would be exactly like me, and I probably wouldn't have many at all. I'd only be friends with white, rock music-loving, vegetarian, straight, atheists, and I wouldn't be in my school's diversity club. I mean, I don't think I have any friends who fit into every one of those "qualifications". They're all different, and that's why I love all of them. Because they're all unique, and their own person.
These five things were comments I got on DeviantART, and one of them was a PM on the Otaku. I didn't bother reporting it, because what's that going to do? So I just hid the comments and deleted the message and explained it here. Oh, and by the way: If you people don't like me, why are you watching my stuff? ...And... I'm a little freaked out that I have no clue who any of you are, yet you know this stuff about me.
