New project!

Wed, 14 Mar 2012 23:41:15 -0400

Hey guys, so I hit a bit of a rough patch this afternoon, but a really dear friend helped me out of it and inspired me to start a new project for myself. I’ve decided to create a tumblr account where every day I will list the things that make me happy and remind me why this world of ours is so great. I list things once a day and post things throughout the day that make me happy. That way, whenever I hit a rough patch, I can look at that Tumblr account and be reminded of things that make me happy.

I’d really appreciate if you check it out!

Thanks!

Food for Thought

Wed, 14 Mar 2012 02:36:21 -0400

So since I’m not really doing this quote thing weekly, I thought I’d call it food for thought instead! Anyhoo, here are some current favorites:

Other People’s:

1. “People are gonna tell you who you are your whole life. You just gotta punch back and say no, this is who I am. You want people to see you differently? Make them. You want to change something? You’re gonna have to go out there and change it yourself because there are no fairy godmothers in this world.” Emma Swan - Once Upon a Time

2. “The world isn’t perfect, and the law is incomplete. Equivalent Exchange doesn’t encompass everything that goes on here. But I still choose to believe in its principle: that all things do come at a price. That there’s an ebb, and a flow, a cycle. That the pain we went through did have a reward and that anyone who’s determined and perseveres will get something of value in return, even if it’s not what they expected. ” Alphonse Elric - Fullmetal Alchemist

3. “The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive.” Pudge - Looking for Alasaka

4. “It’s not about who’s right and who’s wrong; there are more important things than that. That’s why we need things like apologies and forgiveness.” Taiga Aisaka - Toradora!

5. “I had music in a world where I thought I said nothing.” Iwasawa - Angel Beats!

Mine:

1. “I guess…I never really thought about it like that before. I never thought that…that you guys would want to help. I always believed that I had to be strong for all of you because I care about you and I don’t want to see any of you get hurt, but now I’m starting to see that maybe it’s not that way at all. I can lean on you all, I see that now, because without my crew, my comrades, my friends, I’m nothing more than a crazy girl with a boat.” Ryder Green - Freedom Fighters

2. “Is the point of our entire existence on this planet just to sit here and wait all the time? I feel like ever since I can remember I’ve been waiting for one thing or another. Waiting for parents, waiting until I was old enough, waiting for school buses, waiting for news…is that all we do? Just wait?…Sometimes it just feels like I won’t ever do anything significant, like all I’ll ever know is suffering and brief glimpses of happiness. I’m sick of this, this suffering, this eternal pain and agony the world causes its habitants by merely existing. What kind of god would let his people live here, in this eternal cycle of death? Wouldn’t an all powerful and benevolent god want to give his people more than just this permanent suffering and survival?” Red - Blackened Wings

3. “Greif feels a lot like drowning you know. You just keep sinking and sinking and sinking and it gets harder and harder to see straight. Then all of a sudden you can breathe again and you realize just how precious the air around you is. And you feel like a dork for thinking it but then you say “screw it, who the hell cares if I sound like a dork? I’m alive!” We’re alive Nik, and we don’t need to stop living just because they’re not. So get off your ass and stop wallowing. God knows you’ll be better off that way.” Martina Youngling - Blackened Wings

So there ya go! As one of my favorite authors John Green once said, “Maybe our favorite quotations say more about us than about the stories and people we’re quoting.” I’m not so sure what this says about me, but there ya have it! :)

Till next time! <3

lol sad, but true. Reminds me of my Canadian friend who the other day told me “the stereotype here is that all Americans are fat. We think of your country and we think of McDonalds.” I feel like we should get on changing that?

If more company leaders followed this example of selflessness instead of being so fucking greedy the economy wouldn’t be so shitty. I mean really, just how much money do you really need to have.

Aww, this makes me smile. He is a beautiful man. C:

MOMMY CAN WE MOVE HERE?

Hire me. I will learn Japanese fluently just to be able to work alongside this man!

Ohmigosh. Not all heroes wear capes in deed. This is a true hero exemplifying how things should be done all over the world.

Just thought I’d post this here on Tumblr. I know there are some audio issues, but I love this scene and since we’re ABOUT to do another one (once I get off my lazy butt and record my lines), I thought I’d remind everyone on the interwebs what the last one we did was.

This is from the anime Romeo X Juliet, yes like the Shakespeare play. It is amazing and touching and incredibly moving and honestly (forgive me William) made me like the characters so much more.

So here is a fandub scene from it! I play Juliet and my wonderful friend Caleb plays Romeo. Enjoy! :)

Roger will attempt to write a bittersweet, evocative song…that doesn’t remind us of “Musetta’s Waltz.”

“The test will measure whether you are an informed, engaged, and productive citizen of the world and it will take place in schools and bars and hospitals and dorm rooms and in places of worship. You will be tested on first dates, in job interviews, while watching football and while scrolling through your twitter feed. The test will judge your ability to think about things other than celebrity marriages, whether you’ll be easily persuaded by empty political rhetoric, and whether you’ll be able to place your life and your community in a broader context. The test will last your entire life and it will be comprised of the millions of decisions that when taken together make your life yours. And everything - everything - will be on it.”

- I knew I’d love Crash Course as soon as I heard this.

So true. And I like the part about avoiding mere survival. It kind of ties in to John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars really well.
