Just found out a very talented guy through Autostraddle, Alex Bohs, you should go check him out. There's something so soft and sweet about his short films.

Totally want these.



Musing

I was watching my entries and realized I didn't write a single one during the month of April, and that is pretty fucking ridiculous. You wanna know why? Because I turned 18 on the 5th April, and it's shameful that I didn't write anything about it! I mean, it's not everyday that you become a legal adult.
I spent the entire day joking around saying I could already go to jail and I didn't write anything about it! I suck!
One thing I'm actually thrilled to be able to do as an official grown up (yeah, right!) is...vote. Yes, I am quite anxious about voting and, just my luck, there will be elections in just two weeks.
Many people I know keep saying there's no point in voting, and that seems to be everybody's opinion, how else could we explain the high level of abstention in here? It pisses me off. They keep complaining about our country and the government but when they have the chance to do something, to try and change things, all they do is sit their fat asses at home and do nothing. Well, that must really make a difference! We can see where that got us so far.
It's one thing to vote blank and another to abstain. By abstaining you're sending off the message "I couldn't be arsed to vote" but by voting blank you're saying "You're a bunch of wankers and none of you deserves my vote". See the subtle difference?

Make an effort, aye? I'm nervous because I've never voted in my life and I keep playing out the most scary situations even though I know that's not how it will go, but I'm the first one to admit I don't do well out of familiar ground. I'm trying though.



P.S: On a lighter note, I'm soooooo looking forward to getting my skin inked.Oh, and I keep wanting my septum pierced. Just saying.<3

Losing My Mind

There's no fights and theres no tears
There's no need if you're not here
But I'm not the same anyway, anymore

On Stranger Tides

Things have been...hectic to say the least, but I managed to take two hours off to go watch Pirates of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and it was awesomeeee. It's not that the movie was something over the top, but I enjoyed it very much.

I will be honest now, don't hit me for it but I happen to not be such a big fan of the Elizabeth/Will thing. Yup, that's right. They annoy me to no end, i don't know why but they do, so as you can imagine I didn't exactly cry a river over them being absent from the latest movie (more like the opposite but shhh).

Either ways, Johnny Depp is epic, Penélope Cruz is epic and the two of them together are even more epic. Explosive duo.

But what warmed my heart the most was Syrena and Philip. They are so cute, but SO cute, forgive my squealing self. Maybe it's the all mermaid/man antagonic relationship or the supposedly impossibility of their love (we homos have a sore spot for the whole Starcrossed-lovers thing), but they managed to portray such a subtle yet intense love that it balanced the fiery passion happening between Jack and Angelica.

I enjoyed it, I did. What about you guys?

See? So sweet.

I woke up today with this song in my head. it's been a while since I listened to Sov.

Barcelona

(Written on March 22, 2011)

This past week  I went on a trip I had been longing for for months now.
My teachers had the idea to organize a trip to Barcelona, 5 days long, so we could get to see the city in all its full glory. The truth is, Barcelona oozes art, in it's own edgy and bright way. I can't find the words to describe the entire trip.
I got to spend 5 whole days with some of the most important and amazing people in my life, made new friends, had a blast from the crack of dawn to the wee-hours of the night, slept from 5 to 2 hours a day, walked miles and miles each day seeing the most amazing buildings and paintings and graffitis and people.
I missed travelling.

Random Fuckery

When you live an alternative lifestyle you start to wonder: what is truly right or wrong anymore?

You live by none of the common standards and all the traditional roles and the definition of gender itself becomes slightly blurry. There is no man in pants and woman in skirt, at best, if I feel like it, I will be wearing men clothes today and a flowery top tomorrow. I happen to enjoy that thoroughly.

I admit it, I have a fascination with men fashion. I truly enjoy it, I find myself constantly checking out guy’s clothes. But I don’t want them, I want their clothes, I want to be able to look like that too. I don’t want to be a man though, and I don’t wish to look like one either, but I like that contrast, all that feminine/masculine twist. I’m still working on it though.

I’m pretty sure I even confuse myself with all this clashing inside me as I struggle to find a middle ground. How does one truly express itself?

I wish I was one of those people that can make whatever they choose to dress work, that are plain and simply cool. With no effort whatsoever. I fail at that.

Man, I wish I was a cool kid.
