Never fear, Maria is here!

Hello everyone! Are you all having a good March, because I know I am? :) About two days ago I promised a friend that I would post something new on here and I sort of broke that promise since I haven't posted when I said I would. This post is for you, dear Jade. Please forgive me in my lateness but I simply was not in a writing mood last night....or the night before...or the night before that. I have made myself a big list of things to talk about. Never fear, Maria is here!

Number one on my agenda to talk about today: Moulin Rouge! (Pronounced Moo-lan Roo-ge, for those of you who can't pronounce it right.) Moulin Rouge is basically about a writer, Christian, and a prostitute (do not judge!), Satine, who fall in love. Satine, however, has been told to sleep with The Duke, a nasty man with lots of money to spend on the theater where Satine works. Worse comes to worse, and at the end Satine ends up dead, but don't let that stop you from watching! It's a GREAT movie. Like Titanic (again, don't judge. I like that movie. Now let's move on, okay?), just because the good person dies doesn't mean it's a bad movie. ALSO! In this movie, they sing tons and tons of famous songs from Marilyn Monroe's "Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend" to Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit." My favorite song in this whole movie was "El Tango De Roxanne." Oh. My. Lord. That song gave me goose bumps. Go buy the album on iTunes, NOW!

Alright, next order of business: Bugs. They scary me to freaking death. I know, I know. "But you’re so much bigger than them," "Just step on them. All gone." "Your __ years old! Stop being such a baby!" Well you know what? You can just go take a flying hike! Bugs scare me, okay? Mostly Spiders, but all other bugs freak me out too. Well, unfortunately for me, bugs happen to love my bedroom. Of all the rooms in my house, I think that my room, the laundry room (also another unfortunate place for them to choose), and my older sisters room are the rooms they like the most. I almost never see any except in those rooms. Well, our house, my room specifically, has lots and lots of Silverfish. I think I am starting to develop a phobia for those things along with my Arachnophobia... Whenever I come into my room I usually find at least one crawling on the wall or on the ceiling. Lately the ones that crawl on the ceiling have been falling off.....onto my bed. The first time this happened I didn't see it fall from the ceiling. I just had the extremely frightening experience of lying in my bed and suddenly seeing a silverfish crawl from under my arm (I didn't sleep in my room for three days.). The second time this happened was last night, I was laying in my bed reading and there was a Silverfish crawling around on the ceiling and I was keeping a close eye on it. When I looked up from my book to see where he was at I didn't see him anymore. He was gone. Flashes of all kinds of horrid scenarios went through my head and before you could blink an eye I was out of that bed clutching my book for dear life. And then I spotted him. He was just sitting there as if he had absolutely no idea what was going on. Just sitting there on my comforter. Well I certainly didn't want him to come to his senses and start crawling around in my bed for me to never see him again so I killed him. And then I ran out of that room. This morning my mom got me this Silverfish poison which they will supposedly eat and then die. Supposedly. I hope to god it works.

Recently, I think it was about two weeks ago, I discovered a channel on youtube.com which is absolutely worth watching: Charlieissocooollike. Check him out, he's fabulous. Also he's British so he has that adorable British accent! Anyway, back to why I’m bringing him up. In one of his videos, Understanding Teenage Girls, he asks a very interesting question. What are the top three things that go through your head every day? A lot of the girls answered things like, "I hope I don't look fat," "Charlie is so hot," and "I wonder if I would fit into that dryer." Well, I would like to answer this question too.

1. I want my room to be clean but I don't want to clean it.

2. I'm not hungry. Why do I have to eat?

3. I should write that on my hand and then put it on my names list!

Not sure if those are what I think about on a daily basis, but I do think about those quite a lot. What do you think about?

Lately I have been very interested in the website failbooking.com. It’s very amusing. Last night I stayed up late and looked at every single entry on the website (I have no life.). Here are some of my favorites:

Let's talk about bucket lists shall we? My bucket list is almost entirely filled with things I am not allowed to do. Therefore, most of the things on my list won't be done until I move out. But let's not dwell on the negative, but, rather, think positively... PROTONS! Sorry, I just had to do that. Anyway, here's a small slice of my bucket list:

1. Get a tattoo of a bar-code on the back of my shoulder.

2. Get snakebites.

3. Dye/highlight my hair an unnatural color.

4. Buy every poster I have ever wanted and plaster them all over my walls.

5. Buy whatever clothes I want.

6. Drive with the windows down in the dead of winter.

Speaking of winter, have I told you lately how much I love it? Because I do. It seems like whenever I talk with someone about they’re favorite seasons, they always say summer. Let me be frank with you. Summer is the stupidest most disgusting season known to man. Now let me tell you why. First off, it's scorching hot. Who find it enjoyable to be basically inside an oven every day? Not I. Secondly, because it is so smoldering all the time, everyone is always sweaty. Now some of you may say to just use deodorant and that may work...for like an hour! So then not only are you boiling wherever you go, but you are also surrounded by sticky, wet, smelly people. How revolting! And thirdly, I hate summer because it is always (at least where I live) unbearably humid. I don't know if any of you have humid summers, but let me just say it is very very very unpleasant. For one thing humidity makes the horrible heat even more intense. So, if it is, say, one hundred degrees outside (which it usually is around summer time here), it feel like its one hundred fifty! Another thing is that humidity, at least for me, makes the air hard to breath. So now you are baked, sweaty, and suffocating. How much worse can it get?!

Last but not least, ethnicities. What is your ethnicity? Mine is Polish, Indian, German, Jewish. I know, German Jewish. What in the world? Actually, these two are the ones I am the most proud of. Think about it, how many people can say that they are both German and Jewish? It's wonderful! These two are my biggest ethnicities. I am more Jewish than any of the others, but next come German. I'm not sure which is bigger of last two... Any who, I absolutely love being a German-Jew. Now, don't be confused. I am not Jewish in the religion sense, don’t ever think that (not that I have a problem with Jews. If you are Jewish, then woo hoo for you.). My ethnicity is Jewish but that doesn't mean I am Jewish. One is a religion and one is an ethnicity. Do not be confused. But yes, I love it. I think my origins are the reason I am so interested in the Holocaust. I find the Holocaust severely fascinating. Both sides. The side that believes that Jews are an abomination unto the earth and should disperse all together, and the side that had to run and hide in fear and ultimately get killed. It the most interesting story I think I have ever heard (most interesting TRUE story at least.). I keep looking for good novels on the Holocaust, both fiction and non-fiction, but the ones I keep finding are all dreadfully boring. Yuck. There has only been one book I found that actually held my attention. It's called Obsessed and it is written by Ted Dekker. I remember that one because I bought it after reading it and then the next day I couldn't find it. I still haven't found it. I lost twenty dollars that day :'(

That's all for now. Thanks for reading this insanely long entry. Ciao!

Comments are better than books on the Holocaust

Love,

Maria
