Redhead; prt. 1. Cultural Expandings

OHMIGOSH!! How silly of me! I've been forgetting my blog when I totally have something to post about! This just occurred to me: Recently I googled "redheads" (which I am one of) and it really opened up this new world to me.
Growing up I've always sensed that, being a white American in a non-religous family, I've kind of missed out on any cultural experience I could have been born into. On the one hand, it's freedom. I'm well aware of restrictions a culture can put on a person, either from traditions within, or persecution from outside. But then again, there's a kind of pride and celebration that goes along with those cultural groups. And a feeling that you're apart of something. I think that that's something human beings really crave, and will fight for.
Well, getting back to the redhead search I did out of boredom, it turns out that through the internet I have access to a little mini-culture I wasn't even fully aware I was a part of. Just learning the science of redhair was invigorating. I could read the words on the screan and think: "Me, that's me this is talking about." There really is a lot there. Maybe no wars were ever fought over crimsom hued locks, but there's more of a culture there than I ever thought I was going to get. And really, it's a good thing no wars were ever fought. There's really so much I have to share about my exciting new world, I couldn't put it all in one post. Haha this'll be the first in a series, okay?

I am a Romantic, Dreaming of a Fantacy

Man!! I start the new school year in less than a week, but I was just posting about last year's new school year a couple posts ago...I guess that means I don't post enough, huh? I'm sorry my poor neglected blog. I'm an abusive blog-parent. :(
Any ways, what's on my mind right now? The song "Closing Time" by Semisonic. It was playing in Staples when I went to get my new binder and I'm kinda in love with it now. It sounds like it's about a bar closing, but the band says it's about birth. And once you hear that, it really does sound like it's about birth. When I heard it in the store the only lyrics I could really discern were "I know who I want to take me home, take me home" which is kind of interpretation nuetral. But what struck me on hearing it was how emotional and deep it sounded. And we girls, we love that stuff. Having it rendered so by a male singer really adds a kind of...whimsical element. Because I don't think I know any boy or man who has a song like this in them. Makes me think I want to find one who does. Whew, I wrote this and realized if you haven't heard the song you really wont get this! Oh well! Listen to it!

What do you do
When the one you love
Says
"No-one loves me"?

My name isn't no-one
can't you try to remember?
My pretty little friend,
That I'm standing
Right here?

This is my new favorite manga!!! My dad loves it too even though it's a "backwards book"
The guy with a heart around his head is Usopp, my favorite character. I think he's probably most people's least favorite though, *cry* this is actually an amazingly good picture of him, he's usually pretty lame and weird looking(i like his weirdness!) HAH!! He is a coward but has moments of true bravery, even though he's not strong he will fight for what he believes in with his amazing sharp-shooting SkiLZ!!!! That's why I love him!!!! So I don't think he really is a coward, he just prefers not to die.
I like how much he makes me laugh, there are enough super-bad asses in this manga, it's great that he's a goof!!!
I wish real people were like the ones in One Piece, they are like candy for my plot addiction!!! Haha!!
The action in this manga is amazing, I never thought I would ever enjoy fights scenes, but this made me relize it was just because I'd never seen a GOOD one!!!! Anyway, I just had to do a blog on One Piece, I love it so!!!!

okay maybe I'm a nerd but I can't help, it's the plot addiction, okay?

I'm not sure how I feel anymore

The new school year is disorientating.

Say It With Me Now

Okay...you, my adoring readers and greatest fans, have probably heard about all kinds of different addictions. Drugs, gambling, alcohol, eating and even *gasp!* the naughty stuff...but today, it has struck my boredom chords to tell you about my addiction, one that is not listed above, and that you most likely have never heard of.
I, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, am what I call addicted to Plot. No...not "pot", P-L-O-T. Stories, fictions, -----...I can't think of another word for it...hmmmm. In other words, books, comic books, manga, movies, t.v shows and all together anything with a plot, that isn't crappy.
It is my theory that I am not the only victim, my Mama, has what I believe to be a milder case of it. It is this addiction, that I believe to be part of the reason I am a writer. Do I tell stories because of the plot addiction or do I have the addiction because I tell stories???
A medical conundrum for another day.........
Unlike the before mentioned addictions, mine is mostly all positive, sure it may cost a bit to keep supplied, and maybe I don't exercise as much as I should....but it's all good :D
If you are suffering, or enjoying, Plot addiction, please leave a comment, I really wanna know if there are others out there.
