November Favorites!

I CANT BELIEVE ITS ALREADY DECEMBER! November flew by, like i blinked and november was over! December is now beginning and that is the start of Christmas, which i love, but also the start of stressful mid terms. However, im trying to not let the stress of school knock me out of the jolly christmas spirit.

ANYWAY, this post today is my November favorites, the things i was digging this past month. Before i start i have a limited amount of categories for you all and i think i tell you guys this every time, but more ideas would be appreciative! Tweet me ideas @mspook11 on Twitter! Now lets begin.

Favorite Clothing Item: I just went shopping recently and bought a bunch of new cute items that were all 40% off! WHAT A STEAL! However, i havent had a chance to make them favs yet, so im choosing my brown leathery jacket from target. It is the perfect jacket for those fall days when you are in the middle of hot and cold. Its got a cute gray detachable hood that can keep you super warm!

Favorite Random Item: Guys im still sick. Sick since September so i gotta go with my bed on this one. Ive been spending a lot of time with it recently as my sickness stays with me so it has to be a favorite. It keeps me cozy and safe at night.

Favorite Food: i dont know if this is a new category but im adding it in here! Since ive been sick, soup is my thang! I love a good, hot bowl of chicken noodle soup. Not only does it warm me up but it tastes delicious.

Favorite Book: Im going with my most recent read, the 5th wave. It was intense, gripping, romantic, captivating, and everything in between. Its a book that i would recommend 10 times outta 10 so read it!!!

Favorite Song: I. HAVE, NO. CLUE. This is a tough choice. There has been a lot of good music out recently with JB and his album and Adele and hers. Also my boy Shawn Mendes dropped some new tracks that ive also been loving. So in conclusion music killed it this month, so hard that their all my favorites. Congratulations artists youve all won my heart.

Favorite Scent: CANDLES CANDLES CANDLES. If you ever want to know what to buy me for christmas, its candles, especially holiday scents. This month ive been burning Vanilla Bean Marshmallow and it just smells like heaven, there's really no explanation other than that.

Favorite Event: Alright my sickness has made me the BIGGEST home body so i didnt do much this month other than thanksgiving with family. SO my favorite event was going up to visit family over the holiday break. We ate some good food and got to see family i havent see in awhile it was nice. It makes me excited to see them again during christmas :)

Favorite Movie/Tv Show: again home body, so no going to see any movies. IF i wouldve gone out im sure my favorite wouldve been the new hunger games movie but i havent been able to get my lazy butt out to the theater to see it yet. Over christmas break ill probably brace the cold to go see it but for now im going to throw it back to a classic i watched this month called Tangled. If you havent seen this movie shame on you. Its one of my favorite disney movies BY FAR,

LAST BUT NOT LEAST
Favorite Writing: Not much this month guys but heres something :)
"Bright Lights
Reminding me of the big city
Of places ive never seen and sounds
Ive never heard

Blinding Lights
Danger danger watch out
Moving so quickly that blinking is
almost too slow

Blaring Lights
Giving out signs of safety
Sounds ringing out that say "Im
here"

Bold Lights
That shine towards the victim
Tears. So many tears
The lights reflect them and they ask
whats wrong?

Battle Lights
The officer asks me again
I answer "I couldnt save her from the lights."

ALRIGHT NOW THAT THE SAPPINESS IS OVER! Thats all i have for this months favorites and i will say the categories have expanded and for that i am proud. Also i just want to thank you all for reading my little blog that is floating around the internet i appreciate it more than you know! Now have a wonderful, snow-filled december! Build a snowman and pass your exams! I believe in you! :) HAPPY HOLIDAYS MY BEAUTIES!!

What's On My Book Shelf..?

Hello one and all. Today's book is a dystopian novel that is becoming a movie this coming January!!! So if you are like me and like to read books before the movie you better pick this up ASAP! It is "The 5th Wave" by Rick Yancey. 

This is such a good read guys! It's basically about the end of the world. Another form called 'the others' are sending bad things in waves. 1st-4th wave had already happened and killed billions of people! And Cassie, who is the main character, believes she is the only person left on earth and she tries to survive. Also she has to figure out what the 5th wave is and how to save her brother... If he's even alive. 

It is an intense book that keeps you on your toes. So if you are looking for a good read, it's a good choice. I recommend 10/10. AND GUYS ITS A SERIES, which excites me!!! I have the second one and am starting that now and the third is coming out May 2016. Everyone get pumped the movie is soon. I'm super excited and you should go out and read it so you can be too :)

Favorite quotes: "The Cassie who was coming to terms with the painful fact that she was just okay."

"It's hard to plan for what comes next when what comes next is not something you planned for."

"Dying isn't so different from that. You don't feel like it's going to happen to you... Until it happens to you."

"Who cares what she was when what she is now is dead?"

"If the enemy looks just like you, how do you fight him?"

"When you love someone. Something happens to them, and it's a punch in the heart. Not like a punch in the heart; a real punch in the heart."

"To hold on you have to find something you're willing to die for."

"Lies are complicated. The truth is simple." 

"When the moment comes to stop running from your past, to turn around and face the thing you thought you could not face-- the moment when your life teeters between giving up and getting up-- when that moment comes, and it always comes, if you can't get up and you can't give up, either, here's what you do: Crawl."

Just a little something....

Hey guys I felt the need to post today. It's not that something excited happened to me or I made a huge breakthrough, I just feel the need to talk to someone.

I have not felt this way in a loooooong time. It's so weird and different. It's just constantly being distant from not only friends & family but life in general. Has anyone else felt this way? Like being disconnected from everything around you, even the thoughts in your head aren't connecting. It's a hard thing to feel because you don't know how to react to it. It's almost so emotionless that you can't feel it, if that makes sense. However, it makes me cry ya know? This "emotion" gets me so overwhelmed I can't help but cry.

I think there are factors to it. For example, stress with school, my jaw has been in pain, stress with work, etc. I just feel all those things making this feeling worse. Making it hard to focus and connect with anyone.

This may sound silly but I love to take pictures with my friends whether I see them for 5 minutes or 5 hours. There will probably be a photo in my camera roll of us together. However, recently that has stopped. I haven't taken anything like that in weeks because I feel almost seperate from the life their living. I don't know it's weird because I hear about things and what's going on but I decide to seperate myself from that event or that fun and my reasoning is "I'm tired", "it's cold" but for the most part I just feel like it's not necessary for me to go. Like I don't get that fun, exciting urge to do something anymore.

If parents, teachers, or friends read this and freak out, don't. I'm okay I just have felt a little disconnected from everything recently and it's not you. It really is just me not feeling myself. Plus all the stress I have been feeling affects this emotion even more. So don't worry, just maybe lay off the pressure a little ya know :)

So I know it's not my typical post but I feel as a blogger it was necessary for to express my emotions to people who read about my life.

Now here's something I wrote if you're interested to end this: I hope you guys have a great thanksgiving, be thankful for everything you have :)

I CANT HANDLE IT 
"Stress is only a 6 letter word.
One word in the dictionary with one definition.
It's only one word.

Stress is one syllable.
One clap of the hands of kindergarteners learning what a syllable is.
One clap.

Stress is one obstacle.
One obstacle that consumes the life of so many people.
One thing that stands in the way of success & achievements.
One obstacle.

Tell me something, if stress is only one thing then why can it take over so many things?"

What's On My Book Shelf...?

Okay so I know you have heard about me meeting Tyler Oakley. But now you are gonna hear me bask in the glory which his actually book.

Yes ladies and gents I have finished reading the contents of "Binge" & let me just say I binged the ish out of this book. I loved it. I may be biased because I love him but take my word for it because it was hilarious. 

This book is funny with a touch and a dash of inspiration in every chapter. He teaches you something whether it be serious or not you are learning & that's why it's a great book. 

This novel really shows his personality & all his heart. I love him with all my little heart too. Please if you haven't picked it up or if you have never even heard of Tyler Oakley before try something new and pick this book up! It's perfect even if he is a new face to you. It will get you inspired and his story will make you somewhat feel better about your life. Please tweet this blog post to Tyler if you can! 

And if Tyler Oakley happens to read this hi I love you and you have inspired me for years now and I can't thank you enough. You have shown me what it truly means to be fearless and 100% you. You are the queen and bow down. :) 

Favorite quotes: "no person, no matter how important society deems their relationship to you, has the right to denounce you for who you are."

October Favorites!

Hey another month has flown us by and now we're heading into the holiday seasons which I am so stoked about you don't even know!! Thanksgiving and Christmas is my favorite times of year and I can't help but get excited every time this year comes around. However, this is about October. October was a good month. Alothugh, I didn't do everything I wanted to do like go to a haunted house or jump in a pile of leaves, I did some pretty exciting stuff. So here are my favs for this month:

Favorite Book: I have read quite a few books this month, but I have to claim "We All Looked Up" as the winner. This book even though the ending was not my favorite the overall story and outline of the story was amazing. It really made me think about the end of the world and what I would do in that situation. It messed up my mind but made me super happy.

Favorite Song: "Hello" by Adele who is finally out of her hiding spot. Even though this has come out fairly recently at the end of October I'm counting in this months favorites because it surpassed all my other choices. If you have not heard this song I suggest you get your little butt on a music website like Youtube, spotify, iTunes, anything and listen to it because I'm obsessed and then youll be obsessed. It's an amazing song that is such an amazing song to jam out to, just saying ;)

Favorite Clothing Item: I'm not sure which thing to pick for this because I haven't really been shopping at all or like been stylish since the cold has forced me into a pair of sweatpants everyday. However, I ended up buying an Ohio Univeristys sweatshirt while I visited my brother for a weekend. It's a super cute, light green sweatshirt that just has 'Ohio University' on the front in white print. It's super super cute and sooooo comfy tbh.

Favorite Random Item: Im not sure what random item I loved this month. Probably my new jogger pants. They are sweatpants that get skinny towards the bottom. They are super comfy and I'm wearing them this very moment and that's why they are my favorite because I can wear them to school and not get demerits :) (also pictured above with the OU sweatshirt) 

Favorite Event: many good things have happened in October such as visiting my brother and picking up pumpkins but ultimately the best thing that happened this month was meeting Tyler Oakley. He is one of my favorite Youtubers so of course meeting him was a big dream of mine. If you want to know if more detail on my crazy adventure during the meet up you can check out my previous post called "The Best 'Binge' Ever." The titles even a pun, I'm cool.

Favorite Movie/Tv Show: guys I'm really sad that I have not been able to go see any new movies or anything because I have zero time. I really wanna see the scorch trials and since school is suffocating I haven't been able to. So for this segment I'm picking a T.V show. The show is called "Once Upon A Time" that is currently on TV now and is on its 5th season. However, I am catching up on Netflix and currently on season 2. This show is based on fairy tales and makes them twisted. If you are into fairytales and very weird story lines this is a good show to start binge watching. Watch out though because season 5 is not on Netflix yet...

Favorite Writing: Guys new category! It's gonna include one of the pieces I have wrote this month that I feel like sharing with yall. This is the first one it's called "Ouch"

Ouch

No words can explain the feeling of utter betrayal besides ouch. 

Ouch is defined as "a word used to express pain" 

A pain inside yourself. A feeling of getting your heart ripped out of your chest. 

Ouch

A word that can mean so little like a scratch or so much like a punch in the gut. 

Ouch 

A word I never thought you would make me say but: 

"Ouch"

You guys this world is full of favorites I know you have them and my brain can not think of them all. I know there are other things I could have in these posts so please come up to me and yell at me to add something :) I will listen I promise. But if that's all I got this month it's all I got. I'll try to think of more categories before November hits. But for now, that's all.

Also if you celebrated Halloween like me let me know what you dressed up as! I was Viola Hastings from She's the Man but when she is her brother. 

Hope everyone had a fabulous and spooky October full of fun and fright! Make November a good month :)) much love xoxo -idontknow

What's on My Book Shelf...?

Hey guys every time I finish a new book I realize how much I love English and how much I hate math and science. Anyway, I finished a new book. It's called "We All Looked Up" by Tommy Wallach. This book is actually pretty new, it was published this year and it caught my eye in the local Barnes and Noble.

It is about the end of the world. Now I know what you might be thinking, that's terrifying and you're right. Its a scary concept. I mean it could happen ya know? A giant asteroid jetting toward the earth, very possible. That's exactly what this story is about. An asteroid is heading towards the planet and four kids must erase their labels they have been placed under and really live before well, they die. The story is so different and I think that's why it's so intriguing. I mean I hated the ending but overall loved the book. I just really wish the author wrapped up what happens in the end. It makes me sad but like whatcha gonna do?

Favorite Character: Honeslty, I'm not sure if I can pick. I like all of the characters in their own way. I like Peter because he was nice. He was sweet and took care of his sister. I liked Andy because he kept the book light hearted and kept the jokes rolling. I liked the fact the book still made me laugh. I liked Anita because she reminds me of myself, feeling so much pressure of school that you just kinda break down. I also like that she starts the break out of her shell throughout the story. But I also like Eliza because she knew who she wanted to be, a photographer. She was confident and sassy which I also liked. So in conclusion I have no favorite character but I have favorite qualities in each unique character.

Favorite quotes:"The best books, they don't talk about things you never thought about before. They talk about things you'd always thought about, but that you didn't think anyone else had thought about. You read them, and suddenly you're a little bit less alone in the world. You're part of this cosmic community of people who thought about this thing, whatever it happens to be."

"But if she learn anything in the past year, it was that no amount of suffering could save you from more of it."

"Life sucks, a cliché, sure, but that didn't make it any less true."

"people talk about their days being number, but really, everything was numbered."

"didn't he realize this was the end of the world? There is no time left to be nice."

"Anita wouldn't ask the universe for a second chance, anymore than she'd ask for a second act. She knew now that no one was in town to either one."

"when everything was burning up right in front of you, you can imagine parts of yourself burning along with it, all your disappointments, all the things you'd done that you wish you hadn't, even all the bad memories."

"this is why love that astroid. We spend all our lives standing up on the ledge like this, but we pretend not to notice. Everybody working away at their jobs, saving their pennies, having their kids, when all it takes is one shove... And down you go. I felt like I was the only one who noticed that. But not anymore. Now everybody's up here with me."

"why did boys always have to destroy things to feel alive?"
