Added a few new chapters to my Supernatural Fanfiction, so here you go! Chapters 1-8.
Feelin' pretty awesome, guys. I've lost 15 pounds this summer!
Alright, Jeff. Get on with the topic! So I saw Friends With Benefits (the movie, duhhh) a few days ago, and that is what inspired this blog post. In case you aren't street smart, and you've never been taught what "friends with benefits" are, then maybe I should get on with teaching you this terminology.
Friends with Benefits: noun A set of friends who engage in casual, sexual acts with each other, but try to keep it from getting emotional. Strictly meant for pleasure.
If your version of "friends with benefits" is anything other than this, such as friends who share cake or toys with each other, you might want to think of a new title before people think differently. Just think of "My FWB and I are going to go share some toys today" would sound to someone who knows the correct definition for it.
Anyway, it was mentioned in the movie that you can never have a connection like that without one of the friends becoming emotionally close to the other. With all the physical affection (whether sexual or not) you share with that person, it's bound that someone is going to end up becoming fond of them in a romantic sense.
My opinion on this is that, well, I don't think a friends with benefits connection is possible. I've thought about how I would be if I had a friend like this, and I think I would end up becoming to attached to them. If they were flirting with someone, I couldn't do anything about it because we, technically, have no obligations to each other. I can't ask something of them that they aren't entitled to do in the first place. I don't necessarily think these types of friendships are wrong, but I just think there's too many complications.
So yes, I don't think it's possible to have a friends with benefits connection with someone. It's just bound to turn into an emotional mess that gets way too out of control, and someone will wind up getting hurt. Hey, if you're one of the people who's made it work, then good for you. I'm glad you've found a way.
I kind of like posting songs at the end of each post, so I think I'll continue to do so! Here's my favorite one for this week.
I finally found a full version of this song! Yes! These are my two FAVORITE characters from Victorious, and this song is so amazing. For those who watch Victorious, but haven't seen this episode, it's the one where Cat and Jade get kicked out of the karaoke joint because the girls they sang against had them kicked out (the place is owned by the brunette one's dad).
Anyway, enjoy that, and see y'all again next Wednesday!

Tolerance
So I added another chapter to my fanfiction. Here you go! Just change the tab thingy in the top or bottom right if you've read all the other chapters.
The questions kind of failed, so maybe I'll try that again another time. When I'm more popular...haha!
So I was watching True Life: I want to be straight, and it spurred lots of terrible emotions in me. I can't even begin to tell you how upset I was while I was watching it.
To give you some background (for those who didn't see it), it followed the stories of two individuals who wanted to be straight because of social pressures, mostly by their family. The first person introduced was a lesbian woman (Melanie) who had a mother that can't stand the fact that she's living this lifestyle. They've gotten into many altercations over her sexuality, and this caused her to try to pursue a heterosexual lifestyle. She doesn't like dating guys because she feels a better connection with girls, but the only problem she has is her mother, and she pursues a heterosexual lifestyle just so her mother will stay in her life.
The second individual was a man who was raised under a heavy Christian household (Kevin). He realized he was attracted to guys, and started pursuing that lifestyle, but his parents told him that it was wrong because of what the bible says, so he tried as hard as he could to be straight. He read the section of the bible that says how homosexuality is wrong every day, just to remind himself that he will be turned away by his family if he is to continue being gay.
The parents of each of these individuals were terribly intolerant of them, and this is especially what got to me. Melanie's mother simply didn't like that she was lesbian, and physically harmed her, just for this reason. She was willing to stop talking to her daughter just because she was interested in women, and that, to me, is just a terrible way to be.
Kevin's dad told him he was PROUD that Kevin was becoming straight. His friends supported his decision, but in my opinion, friends are supposed to support you no matter how ridiculous the decision. What angered me about that, though, is that they prayed for him, saying to "protect him from the devil". What the hell? So all of us homosexuals are infected by the devil then, huh?
My point is, how come a parent just can't accept their gay child? They're not doing anything to the parent PERSONALLY, so why is it so upsetting to them? The intolerance of the people in these poor souls' lives made me angry, because I know they aren't the only people who deal with this. I'm very lucky to have a loving and accepting family, but I just wish everyone's family was that way.
And since I feel like sharing, I will be listening to this song for forever. So I figure I can share it with my readers. It's beyond amazing, and I just can't stop listening.
I guarantee that you'll be walking around your house singing "Good bye, baby good bye~" from now on. It's just that amazing!
Have a great day guys! <3

Oh, America
Feelin' pretty good right now, guys. I've lost ten pounds this summer! I'm going to work even harder because I want to lose even more before college starts again, and hopefully continue my weight loss through the next year at college!
Also, I wrote another chapter of that fan-fiction thingy. Here it is! If you need the first chapter, (or any other, for that matter), you can use the tab at the top (or bottom) right to change the chapter you are reading.
So I went to the All Star baseball game yesterday, and I'll admit, it was pretty exciting. I usually go to Diamondback games because I like the atmosphere of baseball games, but at this game, I actually found myself enjoying the sport a lot more. The players played with much more intensity, and it was just so much more captivating.
I even got that awesome All Star monkey :D I rule. For real.
One thing made me pretty angry, though. While the Symphony was performing "Oh, Canada", some guy near our section, rudely, decided to constantly holler, "Who cares!?" There are just way too many things I can say about him, and everyone like him. I'm sure most of the people around him shrugged it off, saying "Whatever", and I'm sure some people silently agreed with him, but I was offended. I'm absolutely sure that he is the reason people think Americans, as a whole, are ignorant people who don't tolerate anyone outside of their country. Our country isn't exactly perfect either, ignorant man at the game. We're in a recession, almost everyone hates the president, and we're the fattest country on the planet. You're only reinforcing to the other countries' opinions of us. I'm sure your parents raised you better than that.
I want to try something new. Because I've been running out of things to talk about, I figure the next blog post can be responses to questions! You can comment on this post with a question and I will answer it for you. (Please make sure it's appropriate. I'll be the judge of which ones I find appropriate. It can be anything, really. Preferably something I can elaborate on...haha!) Ask me anything, and I'll be sure to answer! It will be kind of like that dying website...formhop? Oh wait, formspring! Duhh. I almost forgot about it!
Have a great day everyone!

Vacations 'n Things
Hello, my lovely readers. Recently, I went to the beautiful city of San Diego, and Hollywood, to venture through Sea World and Universal Studios! It's been a long time since I've been to Sea World, and I'd never been to Universal Studios, so this was quite a trip for me!
Sea World was pretty amazing, you know, except for getting my face burned like toast on a bad morning. Luckily, we bought aloe, which I used on my face like a maniac. Anyway! We saw sea animals and whatnot. It was fun. We tried to go to the shark exhibit, but it was so dark in there, I couldn't even see the person in front of me. The power was out, unbeknown to us. The lady just, basically, sent us to our doom, without a care in the world that we would possibly be tripping over our own feet. Of course, we discovered the power was out AFTER we left the exhibit. Awesome! On the plus side, we rode two amazing rides there. One was the Shipwreck Rapids, in which we got soaked. We also rode the Journey to Atlantis, in which we still got soaked.
That ride was so fun. It made me tingle with happiness.
Day two of our trip included a day at Universal Studios. We got there at about 1:00pm, so we were pretty limited on what we could do. So limited, we ended up going on two things. We waited in line for The Mummy ride, and I was so excited to go on it, until we, I kid you not, got to the front of the line, only for the ride to be broken down. We waited in that line for a short amount of time compared to the wait time for the other rides, but it was still pretty upsetting that we didn't get to go on it. So with our disappointment, we trudged over to Jurassic Park, which was still fun, but I still wanted to go on The Mummy. After that, we went on the Universal Tour, which was pretty cool, actually. We got to see the sets they used and some of the secrets to their movie magic. So cool! I do want to go back, though, because there was a lot of things we didn't get to do there.
We also spent some time at the beach, which was very bittersweet for me. While I did enjoy all the eye candy prancing around the bay area, it was also a shot to my self esteem. While I don't necessarily want to look all chiseled and muscular, I just kind of got to thinking "You know, they're never going to talk to me because of all this extra weight". Most of them probably weren't attracted to guys anyway, but still. It just made me feel very self conscious, so I decided I need to try extra hard to lose weight. I don't know if that would even help, but I sure am going to try anyway. People have been telling me that if I'm going to lose weight, I should lose it for myself, and no one else. I am losing it for myself, but I also want to lose it because I know it looks highly disgusting to most people. I feel like if I get rid of it, more guys would actually approach me or be willing to talk to me.
Anywho, that's it for this week. No new chapters on my fanfiction yet (but here it is, just in case you missed it), and I actually GAINED a little bit of weight (Thanks to vacationing), so I don't really feel like updating on my progress.
Have a great day, everyone!
