A quick word about my previous posts


  1. "Adult Parties and Why I Hate Them":  I went to another adult party yesterday.  After reading The Catcher in the Rye, I know exactly how to describe the way I feel.  They are all PHONIES.  I cannot stand it.  I do not want to become that.  I resent the phoniness.  Yet it somehow feels as if there is no way to become an adult without embracing the phoniness.  I really feel like Holden.  I do not want to be a child, but I do not want to be a phony.  Why are sincerity and sensitivity childish?
  2. "Music that I Like": The Hobbit soundtrack.  Radagast the Brown, The Hidden Valley, and The Adventure Begins are some good tracks.  Also, the Game of Thrones main theme is ear candy.
  3. "My Dog": I look back on that post with a sad sort of irony.
  4. "Rowing Crew: Parts 1,2, & 3": Wow, those posts were long.  They're where I got a lot of my views.  Apparently people are quite interested in how rowing works.  Maybe that's because it doesn't get a lot of coverage in the mainstream media.  Hmm.  There was a Mythbusters episode featuring crew, though!  They were testing if you could waterski behind an eight.  Spoiler: you can!
  5. "Sexism in the Media": I would really love to delve into feminism in A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones.  It takes place in a very sexist setting, but there are so many strong female characters in so many different roles.  (Can you say Brienne of Tarth, Arya Stark, Sansa Stark, Catelyn Stark, the Sand Snakes, Cersei Lannister, and especially DAENERYS TARGARYEN, Daenerys Stormborn, Khaleesi of the Dothraki, the Unburnt, Mother of Dragons?) It makes me really happy and I highly recommend the series.  You know what?  I'm going to do a post about just Daenerys next week.  Just because I can and just because she is so awesome.
  6. "High School is Awful": This continues to be a true statement.  I am so done with school.  I cannot wait for summer break.
  7. "Homestuck": To clarify, the goal of the game is to create a new universe by breeding the Genesis Frog.  Defeating the denizen is necessary to advance to the seventh gate, and advancing to the seventh gate and Skaia is necessary to defeat the Black King & Queen, who are bent on destroying the Genesis Frog.  Reaching godtier is not necessarily a goal of the game but is highly useful.  Also, a warning: Homophobes beware Homestuck.  The most successful ship right now is two girls, one troll and one human.  (Rose/Kanaya <3 OTP) Troll culture does not even have a word for homosexuality.
  8. "Cosplay for Those Who've Never Heard the Word": There are so many great cosplays out there, and people love to post pictures of themselves in their cosplays.  Is there a character you like?  Chances are there's a cosplay of that character out there somewhere.  Google it.  Also, if you like cosplaying, I encourage you to try roleplaying.  It sounds dumb and so stereotypically nerdy but it's basically just improv acting, and if you can find other people to roleplay with, that makes it so much fun.
  9. "The Castle: A Fairy Tale": Sorry, but I probably won't post the ending to this.  I'm sort of taking it in a direction that I do not think is appropriate for this blog.  If you want to take this idea and run with it in your own direction, go ahead! Just let me know in a comment or something.
  10. "Shakespeare Wrote the Best Romantic Comedies": Still true.  Though as a second best, there's a trailer out there for a (nonexistent) retelling of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince as a romantic comedy and it's pretty hilarious. Mostly it's hilarious because that book was the most romcom-like of all the Harry Potter books.
I hope some or all of that was useful or interesting.
Next week I fangirl about Daenerys Targaryen because KHALEESI.
