So I'm sitting down at the family table with my computer, it's 11 am and I woke up just 30 minutes ago and my big brother has on One Tree Hill....What the hell? All I'm thinking is how he's such a girl! Screams like one too- No joke. And he has to put on lotion every something hours, he puts more on than I do! Nuts. Just nuts. Anyways I'd thought I start off with that.
I'm leaving today to go back to the house, unfortunately. I call it the house, not home. It's not home to me. Home is somewhere you love, somewhere you can find peace. I just sleep, eat and have fun there. California, Italy, Ireland, Washington....those could be a good candidate for what I call my home. Arizona.....Not so much. It's dry, it's ugly but at lease I have some of my family and friends here. Well most of my friends. Now don't get me wrong. I LOVE my house (except for the occasional disgusting, abomination of a bug) because it's where I feel comfortable enough to sleep and break down. (Oh and my big brother just peaked at my blog and saw what I wrote about him. Luckily he can laugh at himself. One of the things I love most about him.) Anyways, I'm not sure I'll find that place that I love soon. It takes time I guess.
I've told some of my readers that I haven't had any real inspiration for writing lately and it's still true.So if you're wondering why this post is so "blah" that's the reason. I'm just writing whatever I can. Oh, today the a Chargers game is FINALLY televised here! I am excited about that. It's against the Broncos too. So it's will be a damn great game. I love Chargers, my big team. I'm new at this fan and football thing. Only started last season. I'm still learning but I do know most of the basics. I love the Chargers because of their teamwork and sportsmanship (though they DO have their moments) and the players seem dedicated enough. They're just a really great team that do their best and try to get better with each game. And with four straight wins in a row, it seems they are bettering themselves.
I just can't wait for this game, even if I feel like I can't breathe. I've had to take my inhaler twice since Friday....I haven't done that in YEARS! I don't know what's wrong because every time I stay at my Aunt and Uncles house I'm always okay and don't really have to take it unless my allergies are up, but it's usually only once. I'm allergic to cats, they have one. Thing is, before this week I've always held Goose, the cat, up close and washed my hands and arms afterward and I'm always FINE! I don't and haven't had to take my inhaler. So it can't be the cat causing this breathing problem. I guess I'm just going to have to take Airborne (nasty, disgusting, unpleasant crap) just in case, because my Mom's worried the H1N1 striking me because I'm under 25. So wish me well.
Well, I'm glad I kept my promise of writing some blog posts. I've been fretting the last few days cause I've been neglecting my blog and Twitter. I just find I haven't any energy. It sucks but I'm sure once I get permanent Internet at the house I'll tweet and blog more often. And once I get a new phone too. There's the buy one get one free deal at Sprint for the Blackberry Curves and I seriously want one!!!! My cell phone is possessed, no joke. It's an LG Rumor and it's getting on the Internet when I hit nothing and goes straight to my homepage, it shuts off in the middle of texting or when I'm having a conversation, it freezes when I'm on the internet or in the middle of a text. Hello Satan's Cellular! So a new phone is defiantly in order.
Well I have to get up off my lazy writing butt and get ready to go and drop my little brother at his house and then head home for the CHARGERS GAME! Woooo! GO CHARGERS and to my fellow Chargers family- LET'S ROCK!

Fire In The Family
November 19, 2009
I'm sitting here thinking- What the hell do I write? I've had no inspiration to write in my blog lately. Except for the Twilight rant yesterday. Things have just been a blur the last few weeks. I'm going to my Aunt and Uncle's house tomorrow and can't wait. My Uncle Larry isn't exactly legal Uncle just yet, he will be once he marries my Aunt but I've known him since the 3rd grade, longer than my whole family has known him. So he's like an Uncle. My brother lives with my Aunt and Uncle because he's legally my Aunt's son but my Mom's biological son. My Aunt adopted him when he was little because my Mom needed help. It was weird when I first found out at 14 years old but it's worked out. He still calls my Aunt his Mom and my Mom his Aunt. People think it's weird. My best friend thinks I have a "Dr. Phil" life because of everything that happens t me. I just call it life's huge surprises.
Anyways, I love my Uncle Larry. He's one of the only people I'd trust with my life. Though I guess it helps that he's a Firefighter. I think he's nuts because he decided that's what he wants to do because I am terrified of fire. But he likes it as far as I can tell.
I think I've been afraid of fire since a house I'd lived in with my Mom and Ex step dad had caught on fire, somehow the fireplace did it. I'm not sure of the details. But I'm defiantly afraid of it. When I went to Universal Studios, we went to the Backdraft show. Now the end of the show was cruel for me because the whole thing caught fire, of course it as restrained (however they did that miracle) and it couldn't cause any damage or get out of control. But then I was on the last level and that level FELL! It didn't fall all the way down of course but enough to make me jump even when frozen with fear, teeth grinding, eyes wide and heart stopped. Not a good experience for me. And not one I'm likely to repeat. If you're over 60 and have high blood pressure or heart problems and you are terrified of fire like I am- I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT! If you're not however, you might find it interesting.
Funny how thoughts travel huh? From sitting, to my Uncle Larry, to fire, to Universal Studios. I love the brain. It's a complex little mystery of life that I don't think science can explain most the time. Something or someone genius knew what s/he was doing when s/he made us Humans.

Twilight and New Moon- When Will It End?
November 18, 2009
Twilight. New Moon. Robert Pattinson. Kristan Stewart. Taylor Lautner. Bella and Jacob this, Edward that. When will it die down? I went into Hot Topic the other day and Heavens above! It was pack loaded with everything Twilight and New Moon. It was ridiculous. Now, I have nothing against the movies or books. Hell, I read each book in 8 hours in 4 days. I saw the movie when it came out on DVD cause I got it when it first came out. I loved the story and characters. But when you see stores with mostly nothing but Twilight stuff and hear people ALWAYS talking about the actors, the "Hot" characters and stuff...It gets old.
Now I can't wait to see New Moon. For five reasons- One, I love seeing books come to life on screen and comparing the two. Two, I want to see if the actors and actresses have strengthened their acting or if it's weakened. Three, it's a good twist in the story. I like the the author took away the beloved Edward for most of it and brought him back shortly. It gives some diversity in her writing and it gives the story better complications than the first book had. Four, I can't wait to see the new vampires from Italy. I can't wait to see which actors and actresses they used and how they've done with their characters. Five, I'm still a female so yes, I can't wait to see some hunky males with their shirts off. Sue me.
Now someone asked me what I thought of the books. It's a good story, but it could have been better. The "Vampires Sparkle" thing is just cheesy and too Hollywood for my taste.But it's someone's imagination and who am I to judge? The plot in each book was great, lots of turns and surprises, but none of the sharp turns that really take us by surprise and drop our jaws, well mine that is. (Remember this is my view, not anybody else's.) The characters need a bit work, I can only see some strengths and weaknesses, humans (and yes vampires as well) will always have more than three strengths and weaknesses. At least that's what I've observed. Each strength is reater than another but that's why we have so many. And it's the same with weaknesses. The characters are not as well devolved in personality either.
I personally think that the book Twilight was better than the movie. An from the looks of the New Moon trailer, I think I'll like the movie New Moon better than the book. But who knows? Now, I won't talk about the actors or actresses just yet because I'd rather not base their acting on just one movie. When I see New Moon, then I might talk about what I think because I'll have a more definite opinion. When all four are out though, I'll make my final verdict.
But like I said in the beginning- When will it die down? Twilight is fun and good, but it's not the best. When all four are down THEN it's the time to go all out til it's all done with. Give some other movies a chance. I don't see Transformers products or Harry Potter or any of the other brilliant movies out on the shelves, and to me those movies were much better than Twilight. But I do applaud Twilight and it's actors and crew for doing their best and making something of themselves and congratulations to them. (No I'm not being a sarcastic witch! I'm being honest)
I'm not "bashing" or "hating on" Twilight, New Moon, the movies actors or actresses, the crew or the author. I'm being honest and just letting my opinion out there. I do love the Twilight saga. I wouldn't have kept the books or bought the movie if I hadn't. If you don't like what I had to say about this, then close the window, tab or whatever your using and go to something else Hope your morning/afternoon/evening/night is enchanting.
Oh and if I didn't spell the Actors and Actress names right, please inform me, I'm too lazy to look it up. :)

Update Of My Life In October
Hey everyone. I know this is my first post in awhile and my first of November. Sadly, I have no subject to write about right now. I promised a reader from Twitter that I would update soon. I just do not have it in me to say what is on my mind right now because it is a personal, terrible and sad thing to me.
I know I owe no explanation but you shall receive one anyways. My father died on October 26th. I flew to Washington and had been there for almost a week and when what I needed to do was done I drove up with my Aunt to Oregon to stay with my Nan for awhile. I return to Arizona on the 10th of November.
As you've read from my other posts, I do not have internet at home so I will not be able to update until I do get it. So if I don't post anything after this before Tuesday then please understand I am not neglecting my blog. I merely cannot update. When I get home I may or may not write so I can update. It all depends on how I am feeling at the time. I'm afraid if I start writing everything I feel will come out and I can't handle that right now.
No, I haven't written anything lately because I've been in a bad sort of state for some weeks and am in a bit of a worse one now. Am I ill? No. I'm just in a bad emotional state that I can't handle right now and just need my family, friends and distractions.
I will not ask you to understand, because I know you can't and won't. But I will and am asking you to TRY to understand why I am not writing.
But I do promise to try to write. Much love- Amber
