In which Lyndsey begs for forgiveness and obsesses over older men

With the assault of college on my dwindling pool of free time, I've really had no opportunity to dedicate myself to this blog. (WHICH IS SAD.) Of both my blogs, this one in particular feels like a place where I can really joke around and have fun without the pressure of others to keep me from writing. I love that!

After seeing Rigby's recent post, (we should name her queen and lay golden flowers in her wake), I've been inspired to write my own version of it as well. While my list is quite extensive I've chosen to just focus on just three in particular. (Those of which who come immediately to my mind.)

First we have, John Reese. While John is utterly gorgeous, (I cannot even express it enough), his acting is beyond amazing. He is smart, witty, DISBELIEVINGLY EPIC, and has this aura about him that just screams 'I'm a man, deal with it.'
   Needless to say, I was swept off my feet within the first few minutes of his acting. While not afraid to do what needs to be done, he expels both a gritty dark side, but also a merciful one as well. Tormented by his past mistakes, he saves lives in order to give his life meaning, capturing only a fraction of why he is truly an exemplary character.

 Second is, Jace Wayland. (Or whatever they call him nowadays, I believe he has like three names currently.) While I enjoyed the first book of the City of Bones, my vigor thoroughly exploded over Jace as soon as I saw the city of bones. While he doesn't really fit the, 'older man' criteria I mentioned in the title of this post, Jace is enough to blow a hole through whatever wall stands in his way.
   While being a cocky dreamboy, he manages to have the most alluring appearance I've ever faced upon the earth. At the end of the City of Bones film, my sister and I turned to one another and just melted in jittering fangirl heaps. JACE IS GORGEOUS.
   After I saw Jace's character in film, I really had no other words of discontent to utter. I could sit on a couch and play re-runs of the movie all day just to creepily fangirl from a distance.

Finally we have, John Thornton. (I must have a thing for Johns, it's getting repetitive). While I can't recall if this is true or not, Mr. Thornton's character is the first older man I remember having melted over as a younger individual. First a cold, close minded gentleman, John makes a sweeping change of heart towards the end of the film as he falls for Margaret. Very much akin to a Mr. Darcy situation, Thornton played every angel of his part excellently.
   Though his looks are magnificent, there is no denying that his character was what really won me over in the end.

Those geeks.

     Okay ladies. This Christmas time is a time of giving, and so, I've collected some of the best geek guys for this blog, and I'll be labeling the reasons why we love them and why they have been such great gifts to us throughout the years. You're welcome!

          Now some of these may be animated, some may not be, but either way, they're all amazing.

                                                              Tom Hiddleston
                                                                              (Best known for Loki)

 

                     If there are some Loki fans out there, please give this blog some love because I promise you they'll be much more of this guy on here later on! Since seeing this amazing actor in Thor, the Avengers and Thor the Dark World, I became an instant fan. I've watched some of his other BBC films and shows and I don't understand why this man wasn't more popular sooner! Seriously, he's one of the coolest villains and actors out there. If you don't know him...... where've you been!?

 

Aidan Turner

(Best known for Kili)

 

                       One of my more newer favorite actors is Aidan. Of course, I'm lame and discovered him through The Hobbit trilogy like others did, but since my seeing him, I've ventured into more of his television shows and I've fallen more and more in love with this amazing guy. And although he's amazing, I can't help but be sad when I see him out of his Kili costume. But don't worry Aidan! You'll always be a dwarf to me! ...... always...

                                                   Link
                                                                          (From the Legend of Zelda)
                                                               

 

The first crush we had as a gamer. The hyrulian elf, Link, though silent throughout all

of the games, still shows his emotions well enough for all us fangirls to swoon. Yeah, he's still one of my all time favorites!

 

 Jim Parsons

(Best known as Sheldon Cooper)

 

                Yes, even Sheldon Cooper makes it onto the cute list. Although he is not as tough or manly as the other three, you can't help but love Jim and the work he's done on The Big Bang Theory. And even in real life, he's still just as amazing and geeky. Jim has created an adorableness about him that just keeps us on our toes as we watch more episodes, and who can forget the soft kitty song!?

                                                   Christian Bale and Howl
        (Christian is known best for his roles as Batman and his voice for Howl from "Howl's Moving Castle")

So I was going to do just Howl, but then I remembered that the amazing Christian Bale

voices for him, so this is a double win! Howl won us over with his slick charm and polite attire, but so did Christian Bale with his role as Batman and just by being himself. Both Howl and Bale are just two amazing characters, and both could not be left off the list.

 

That's it for now ladies, and trust me, this could have been much much longer! Anyway,

that's it for this write, and hopefully I have brought you the gift of amazing actors and characters.

Tis always a joy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tis the season to watch reruns, falalalalaa

        Yes! It is the beautiful Christmas season, where stores are crowded and yards are covered in inflatable fat men! Oh the magic!

    At my house, we've collected most of the Christmas specials and movies. Most are still in VCR tape form. (Yeah, those still exist!) And no matter how many times I've watched them, they still never get old. Though I love them all, they're are definite favorites to watch. And I've decided to share my top five with you! Maybe you've seen them, maybe you haven't. Whatever the case, here are some Christmas films and moments that you'll love to watch over and over again!

                         "It's Christmas Time Again Charlie Brown!"

 

       I can hear  the "good grief" already. Though this is not the original Charlie Brown Christmas with the sad little Christmas tree, this newer episode contains some great moments. With a kid named, "Harold Angel", a dumb Christmas wreath, an angel that says "HOCKEY STICK!", and an angered girl who plays a sheep, this episode was just a cute and funny memory of mine. I loved the characters, and Charlie Browns difficulty with dealing with so much Christmas cheer. A classic to have on the holidays.

          "How the Grinch Stole Christmas (with Jim Carrey)"

 

                 Now this may not be the original that everyone is used to, but this film from the 2000s was and is hilarious! I don't have cable so I'm not too sure if they play this one on T.V. anymore, but if they still do, I hope the rest of you get to watch it! Jim Carrey brings the Grinch to life, and makes Dr.Suess's book into a living comedy with still a good heartfelt ending.

          "The Big Bang Theory s.2 : The Bath Item Gift Hypothesis"
                    

 

For those early watchers of The Big Bang Theory, you have to remember this episode! I won't

spoil anyone of what the episode was about, but I will spoil the ending for you... Sheldon hugs Penny for the first time! And it is the cutest most awkward hug ever. Seriously nailed it's spot on this list of Christmas favorites.

 

"The Year Without A Santa Claus"

 

 

A Christmas classic that I know should always be playing every year, this film

we watch every year still on the trusty VCR. I always loved these characters when I was little and I was all for team Heat Miser!

 

"Gremlins"

 

 

Now I'm not sure if this film "really" counts as a Christmas film, but it is still one of

my favorites. With it's cheesy 80's music and graphics, and those memorable little gremlin moments, this film I believe fits in with a geek's Christmas.

 

So those are my top five, maybe I left a few classics out, but honestly, they're all my favorite.

Through all the films and show specials, these just throw me into the Christmas spirit and all share a good Christmas moral of sharing, caring, and love. Okay, maybe that was alitttle too Mr.Roger's, but it's true!

 

Anyway, apologize for being so quiet for so long, things are starting to

slow down now, so I'll try my best to get a write in here and there!

 Till next write,

 

       

 

 

Who would win? (Pokemon)

      So throughout their early start in the 1990's, many young people tried to figure out this little war between these three pokemons. The three pokemon, all uniquely different and all containing a power far different from the others. But there came a point, a question, who would win in a pokemon battle?

       Our first pokemon is the mighty Charizard. Now many lean toward this pokemon for a number of reasons, his strenght, speed, power, and his friken amazing appearance. Being a dragon pokemon with a firery blaze portrading from his wide mouth sends his competetors to the ground. His ability of flight allows him to dodge an opponents hits and his speed allows for a difficult target. His small arms don't provide for such a powerful grip, but like the ancient T-Rex, Charizard doesn't rely on his arms, but rather his largh feet and wing power. Overall, Charizard is a powerfully threatening opponent.



Charizard

                                                          
        Next Pokemon on our list is a grass type pokemon. Venesaur,  giant in size and with his large flower structure pertruding from his back makes him look like a  tough threat. His loud growl sends as a warning toward his enemies as he lets out an attack of overgrow, damaging his competetor. Unlike Charizard, Venasaur has no flying abilities, nor much speed, but he makes up for those with his ability of strenght. His thick arms provide him with a tight grip and a powerful pressure to press against his opponent.  Like Charizard, Venasaur also has an amazing exterior, with his large mouth, his powerful body and his large plant utop his back.  He gives the chia pet a whole new meaning.

Venasaur

            Last on our list is a pokemon from the water type family. Blastoise. A powerful pokemon with cannon-like shoulders and a large hard shell covering his back. He is both effective in a water or land battle, giving him the strenght to overcome obsticles. With those cannon shoulders, he is able to send off a large blast of water pertruding out of his shoulder cannons, wiping out his competetor. Also like Venesaur, Blastoise lacks speed on his fat legs, but unlike Venesaur who is permenentally slow, Blastoise makes up for it in the water. He glides above the water's serface, quick to knocking out enemies. And unlike Charizard, Blastoise has both powerful legs and arms, allowing him to grip an enemy with ease. Blastoise is a true threat to anyone in the water!

          

Blastoise

Now it is time to annalyse the three very different competetors, testing each of their
skills. Now I can imagine Charizard skimming the skies, sending down blasts of fire ablaze the ground. Blastoise would easily send his flames out with a blast of water. Now Venesaur could send a shelter of grasses and shrubs around himself, creating a strong defense against Blastoise. But, Charizard could easily set Venasaur's shelter into flames, knocking Venesaur out of the battle. We'd now be down to Blastoise and Charizard. Charizard at this point would be down below, setting rings of fire around the two, caging them in. Blastoise could keep a grip on Charizard with his strong arms, keeping Charizard at his reach. As Charisard is sending out a blast of flames, Blastoise could sen in a powerful blast of water into the dragon's mouth, shutting down his inner flame and eventually knocking out his component, making Blastoise the winner.


Do you agree? Just remember this is just my opinion and is not the words of a proffecional
Pokemon expert. And no matter what the outcome, we should remember that these three Pokemon are all the most memorable and original of all the Pokemons. They created one of the hardest desicions of our childhood (if any of ou remember Pokemon Red and Blue). And overall, these three are just an a mazing piece of the Pokemon legacy.

Till next write!

 

Trick or Treating...

        So... the question always comes to me around this month. Whether or not I should walk around door to door and ask for candy. And after you hit about 12, you begin to feel alittle odd about doing Trick or Treating. You're lot older now, and you're about to be the same height as most of the adults answering the door. It begins to feel really awkward. Which this made me mad. Because as a kid, this was the most best holiday ever. You dress up, you stay out late, you get candy, and everything is amazing.

       So for today's blog, I decided to cover some little things in the catagorie of Halloween.

 

For the first question, I actually looked up some opinions for the answer. This answer

didn't shock me, and if anything, it just dissapointed me. It said that the age limit for girl trick or treaters is 14, boys is 12. Reasoning, I don't know. But that's what they say i guess, and I've broken this rule many times. But from my last trip from last year, I finally am giving up trick or treating, for it was really odd bumping into parents who glared at me and my friend throughout the neighborhood.

 

My last statement could enter for the second topic, When Trick or Treating gets weird. Now

I never really felt weird about going out and having a good time. But that was back when i was like 14, and my little sisters provided an age shield for me, making me seem younger. But last year was different. I went out with a friend of mine, and we are both far from the 14 age braccet now, and throughout the night, we got asked, 'why we were doing this,' or ,'how old we were.' I felt rude and silly, and just awkward.

 

And I guess that's it for me. No more of the door to door candy collecting for me. And on to a different type of awkward for me... Halloween parties. Now, sometimes these are amazing and can be really fun, or really stupid ans shameful. And by shameful I mean, horrible short costumes, horrible music, dumb people who don't know your costume and overal bordom.

 

I'm proud to say I've never attended such a thing. But then again, I think this is basically

the only thing to do on Halloween for an elder person such as I, either party or candy passer-outer. Which both make me snore. I've never been a huge party fan, but I think a party of friends in costumes having candy and watching horrifying movies could be a great way to spend such a cool holiday. But, until that happens, I'm stuck at my door passing candy.

 

Till next write,

 

Am I mainstream?

     So I've been noticing the things amongst my room. I have Disney figures, Pokémon cards from the 90's, movies from mostly the 50's through 80's..... and according to my study of Tumblr photos, all of these qualities would some how push me toward being, "Main stream," or as the Tumblr people call it, "Hipster."

     And I've never fully had this word, "Hipster," explained to me, so my idea of what a hipster is, may be a little judgmental or rattled a bit. So from what I've captured through the all so judgmental Google images, is that a Hipster is a.....

• cussing
• floral print loving
• bohemian
• vinyl loving
• geek copying
• greasy
• non showered
• hippie
• gangster

        Sorry for my harshness. But that's what I'm noticing. So I still wanted to know more, since I was being labeled as one, I wanted to make sure I was being labeled as something other than a greasy gangster. And I cam to find that a Hipster is nothing more than a mixed up copycat. They enjoy soaking up a bit of everything. It's as if they're unsure of what they want to be, so they just kind of shop at a thrift store, throw it all together and then claim that their style is better than mine. Even though I too shop at thrift stores from time to time.....

      Because I still wasn't happy with my own judgment, I decided to take this to the big guy. Dictionary.com.  And here's what I got:

hipster¹

[hip-ster] /ˈhɪp stər/                                                                     

noun, Slang.

1.

a person who is hip.

2.

hepcat.

3.

a person, especially during the 1950s, characterized by a particularly strong sense of alienation from most established social activities and relationships.

 

My favorite definition:

 

4.Often, hipsters. hiphugger underpants for women and girls.

 

        So either I may be a person who is hip, a hepcat which is a person who is a performer or is fond of jazz, an alienated person, or woman's panties. ............. 

 

 

 

     ______________________________________________________________________________

 

 

     So me personally, I think I could qualify. Though I will forever be a geek, I'm pretty sure I'm hip. hahaha *lies* But I do find myself nitpicking like many hipsters do. Example being, I only like the first generation of Pokémon and refuse to play or watch any new games or shows. Example 2, I too tend to appreciate the older styled music, meaning 1920's through the 1990's. 

 

    

 

Am I Alice in Wonderland? Falling into the whole of our modern society? Does wearing Obi Wan Kenobi on a T-shirt make me hip? Because I was doing this waay before... Oh my goodness now I'm talking like them!

 

 

Please send for help.

 

 

Zombies VS Unicorns!! (BEGIN!)

       So many months ago I had come across a colorful and interesting looking book at the library. The cover was off of it and there was no name or author written on the book. Instead the book was covered in a ferocious battle between, you guessed it, zombies and unicorns. I had to check it out, seeing the cover, I knew something good must be inside. (Totally following the rules of, don't judge a book by it's cover... sarcasm) When I got home, I began to read through the pages, finding out that the two talented authors, Holly Black and Justine Larbalestier were in charge of this debate. The two authors had formed two alliances, one of zombies and one of unicorns. Both had created a team of more authors, giving little stories of romance, adventure, and just pure humor for their defending side.

                     Your job was to then vote after you read the book, who was more amazing?
                                                         
                                                                    Team Zombie?

 

 

or

 

 

Team Unicorn?

 

 

Today, I will defend each team and

create my own little debate on which team, Zombie or Unicorn, is better!

 

 

 

 

 

Question One: If you're friend was in need of help against a killer, what would be your attack?

 

Team Unicorn: Well I have many of them. With my hooved feet, muscular body, my speed and lastly my horn. This killer is going down!

 

Team Zombie: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you've got a horn! We zombies have many factors that a unicorn could never pull off! Such as fear. We zombies don't only have our violent factors, but also our gift of bringing fear to the living. That killer would be terrified and leave quickly, and if he refused and tried to kill me.. guess what? I'd come back to life!

 

 

Question Two: Why do you think people love your creature so much?

 

Well unlike the zombie, unicorns are very friendly and approachable creatures. Plus, who wouldn't want a unicorn as a friend? Because of our very close resemblance to a horse, that also keeps us from looking out of the ordinary.  Unlike a zombie, we definitely will not try to eat your brain while you play with us. And lastly, our poop apparently is pretty delicious, cause you humans keep making cookies out of it!

 

 

 

Well unlike the unicorn, we have a much larger fan base. Plus, you'll be able to find way more zombie films than unicorn films. And let's face it, who could resist this face?

 

 

Question Three: What  features of your creature make it a harder opponent?

 

Since we unicorns are in the family of mythical creatures, we do hold a piece of that magical feature. Many of us unicorns hold magical powers within our horns, and enabling it's power looks so much cooler than a zombie eating your flesh. I mean, come on. Who want's a friend like that!?

 

Well Unicorns, sounds like you've never watched Shawn of the Dead, because that whole movie was about friendship! But, you do have a point. Most of us Zombies are killers, but who wouldn't want an immortal being on their team? One shot to a unicorn and it's dead! Five shots to us and we're still going!

 

 

Question Four:  How is your creature better, and how could it defeat it's opponent?

 

We're Magical, we're lovable, we're maintainable, we're more powerful! We're way faster than a zombie, we won't kill you (unless you're a jerk), if you ride us then you'll look like a champion! Overall, a Unicorn is the way to go!

 

We're violent, we're fierce, we're on your t.v. , your video games, and we're on most of the merchandise at Hot Topic! We're much more popular than Unicorns are, and we bring you a lot more action! And if you befriend us, we can play video games in your shed out back! We promise not to bite!

 

So who's team are you on?

 

Till next time,
