The Face Behind The Mask

Alright. I'm betting most of you guys know people who 'change' their attitudes depending on who they spend their time with. It's like, there is no (e.g. of name: Annie) Annie anymore. It's like she is just another person completely who goes by the same name. 

I find people like this odd. Because why would you change who you are. You are yourself for some bigger plan, and there's no reason for you to change the person you are meant to become. You have to accept who you are. And if those people only let you hang around them due to the person you change yourself into, then let me tell you, there's something sick going on there and  you should immediately leave those individuals who are called 'friends'. 

This is very serious. You hide yourself behind this mask that some people rather see than your true self. 

When will you choose to let this mask fall and show your true colours? Stop bottling your true persona up. It's only going to mess with you later in life when you have forgotten it, then it will come crashing down on you because that is who you were meant to be. It's the face you are, not the mask. The mask you become if you let it close around you.

I have posted this beautiful masquerade mask because this is what people think. That the mask is beautiful., and accepted, and the one to become. While my face is hideous and no one likes who I truly am.

WAKE UP! You are who you are for a reason. So please, keep true to yourself and don't let others influence you into putting this mask on your gorgeous, real face.

Alice in Wonderland

Hello everyone. Sorry it takes me so long to post something, but the weekend is the best time to post, especially since we all got PLENTY of time.

I probably think most of my audience knows or has heard of Alice in Wonderland. Lewis Carroll's imaginary land where animals, plants, and cards can talk is a great place to find yourself in. Especially once you fall into the rabbit hole. 

In anycase, this book contains lots 'literary nonsense' as in, things don't make sense and aren't possible in the real world. I really like the world he has created, although centered on little Alice, she goes through these places somewhat believing what she is seeing. Then at the end of the book the audience finds out it's all a dream...yadi yadi yada. But really, while in Wonderland, we are greeted with smart and witty characters, anger filled actions, and some un-real situations. It's a great world to be lost in, except for when your path crosses with the Red Queen's... let's just say you'd want to hold on tight to your head.

Alice in Wonderland is this years' drama production for my school, and I am ecstatic to say that I will be part of it. I cannot wait to see how we will manage to pull of the disappearing Cheshire Cat and its big smile, plus the wacky Mad Hatter. All of Wonderland will be an adventure in itself to portray in a school auditorium. I am very excited to be part of this and watch Wonderland unveil itself in front of my own eyes.

Hunger Games Trilogy

I'm sure lots of you guys are familiar with "The Hunger Games Trilogy" by Suzanne Collins. If you aren't you should check them out.

I really liked Suzanne Collins' idea with how North America was split into 13 Districts and a main capital (Capitol). This is a post apocalyptic world where the 'government' is autocratic. As in the Capitol has EVERYTHING and the rest of the districts vary from states of poor and fine. And every year 2 teens (boy, girl) from ages 12-18 from every District are picked to play in the Hunger Games where there can be only one victor. The rest face certain death. 

I also liked the characters Suzanne wrote up. You have sensitive, to true leader, kind to pure anger. I like the varying states in these people. 

And I have to say "Hunger Games" kicked major butt! "Catching Fire" was intriguing. "Mockingjay" was disappointing. It was disappointing because it seemed to me that Suzanne Collins wrote the book really fast. She didn't really give the audience a concrete ending.

I am writing a fan fiction from one of a 'dead' characters' point of view, because I was REALLY UNSATISFIED as to how this character's ending came to be.

SNOW DAY!

I know this is super random but all the schools have been closed due to huge winter storm. And you know what that means... SNOW DAY!! Yes, a day where you are snowed in and when it usually takes you 20 minutes to get there by car, it will probably take someone and hour or two.

That's the beauty of it all. Just staying at home doing nothing... In my case, finishing homework. I'm such a bad girl I know, but hey, homework won't make itself... sadly...

In any case... Enjoy snow days. Because there aren't a lot of them where all schools will close down due to the snowy weather.

This has been my second snow day ever!! And I'm loving every minute of it!!
