Dreams: Pasiόn AND The Three Musketeers?! I so have it made

I woke up at 4am today and could fall back asleep worth anything, so I decided to get up and read a little. I began re-reading The Three Musketeers. I read until about 9am and only have a few chapters left; but I was sleepy again so I put it down and fell asleep on my couch.

Isn’t it funny when dreams follow up your thought process? Even though the actual theme may not be the main concern or subject in your head?

I think it can be hilarious sometime- and as I fell asleep- I dreamt of D’Artagnan pursuing me in a hot chase for my hand. The funny thing is that it wasn’t even me; this lady I was seeing the point of view from had beautiful long red flowing hair- proceeding past her waist. Her eyes sparkled with a lightness I haven’t actually seen in eyes. She was a wonder and a beauty for sure and it no comprehension why D’Artagnan was pursuing this goddess supposing to be me. But, as I dreamt- we were on our way to see the play of The Three Musketeers. The dress I wore was Gorgeous! But let’s not go into it.

Before the play, the party I was with (which D’Artagnan was not a part of, he was already at the theatre and we would meet him there) needed to make a quick stop at this magnificent architectural house comprising of the steeple towers of the 17th century and the Picasso design of the 21st century. It was quite amazing and was the home of the relatives of D’Artagnan. We stayed a long time, but the time came to get into the carriage and go to the play, so D’Artagnan could court me into his arms. Everyone left in such a hurry though they completely forgot me! But all was settled when I set eyes on the blacksmith (the family had hired for the making of a Still for moonshine) was in the backyard.

His image was stolen from a Spanish soap opera I watch at 9pm every evening for the gorgeous dresses and hairstyles. ** Pasiόn Intro **

Not to mention the men confirm just how much that gender can make a woman faint in their strong arms. I don’t watch any soap opera apart from that one, but if ABC or NBC came out with a soap opera from the 18th century I most likely would be ALL over it. Anyways- he was god, and I fell for him immediately.

It’s a poor move for any woman owning the title “her ladyship” to make. But how could I resist! Talk about the perfect romance novel. Most of my stories are from my dreams actually, but I don’t think I could pursue a story concluding the theme of “within these 260 pages I will show you how all your problems can be solved by my masculine body”

Though, not all romance novels use that theme- so there is still hope for it.

Titles and Romance Novels

I haven’t written on my books in a while, but my continuous thought process for book titles continue to run vigorously. The other day, I was going through “A Morbid Mischief” (copyright February, 2007) and thought maybe the title was a bit too cliché. I decided to think up new titles throughout the day. My favorite title- which got a favorable/humorous reaction out of me was one I couldn’t resist putting down.

I was thinking “A Vampire in Velvet” (copyright July, 2008) was an astounding title, but it incessantly got me thinking “No that sounds more like a hot, steamy romance novel with some fruit of a jock with long hair on the cover… but I suppose he would be in velvet! Oh but of course- his chest- which would touch his chin- would have to be showing”

I made me giggle every time this comeback would run through my head. So, I suppose for now, It will remain a neat screen name for whenever I find a new website to join.

Phobia of Dinosaurs


The funniest thing happened the other day, I thought you might get a kick out of. I was watching history channel (typical) and they were doing this series on Evolution- this episode was on guts. When it got to the dinosaur sequence, I figured-

‘’okay, don’t panic- it’s mostly just talking, not a lot of pictures of dinosaurs’’ (for those who don’t know, I have a phobia of dinosaurs)
Well, they did get to a point where they were talking about the Tyrannosaurus Rex and on the TV screen a T-Rex shows up, looking at the ‘camera’ with a curious look. Now of course they were talking about the eating habits of this dinosaur but the image was beginning to make me uneasy. It was tilting its head this way and that- showing signs it was curiously watching its wounded prey before striking.

I know this, because my cat does it all the time to bugs. I said out loud ‘okay, this is freaking me out’ and put my pencil down. Right as I did, the T-Rex lunged at the camera and it was so funny, I actually screamed, jumped, and covered my eyes.
…. I can’t even watch documentaries.

Such a Great Deal!

Întâlnire si Salutare!

This is my new blog site-

I relatively never write in journals or blogs…. Or even update profiles like on MySpace; but this week has been eventful and if it keeps going like this- I am going to become more than excited to share these little moments with friends and family.

I have been spending a lot of time at the library lately (Go Figure).

I take about an hour trip on UTA to the downtown library for usually just some fun. I took the time in renewing my Library card (which had expired) and getting many books and DVDs. Anyways- there are some stores across the aisle that were always pretty fun and so I make it a point to go into them and browse around. I usually don’t buy anything due to the fact that most of their stuff is expensive and should only be bought on special occasions.

(Plus, there was a sign in the window that day that said “USED BOOK SALE” ((yyyyaaaayyy)))

So I went on in and immediately my eyes were directed to a set of books on this… awkward looking self (let's not go into it)

I went over to them to see the titles: “MARK TWAIN”

They looked pretty old so I thought, ‘sweet’ and went to look at the copyright.

1917

Then I thought- ‘well, I am on a budget… these would be too expensive’ But I did catch a glance at the price tag on the one I was holding--- $16

Then I thought “Wow! Sixteen dollars!? Great deal!” and I went to look at the prices of the others- but I couldn’t find a price tag.

So I went up to the store clerk and asked her how much were the others and she looked confused at me and we both went over.

She took one look and said “Oh those books! Yeah, the price tag on the one is for the whole set”

I looked at her in shock and said “This set of 7, 1917 Mark Twain books are 16 dollars all together??? Not separate?”

And she said “No, they are all together for $16, do you want them??”

“Well duh! Heck yes! Wrap these ones up, I say!”


So… Now I have 7 books from Mark Twain; 1917 dated. Yay- the Prince and the Pauper, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer… I pretty much died….. Or acted like a girl scout selling her first box of cookies.

Anyways- I do love the first few sentences of Prince and the Pauper…. That I found funny in my youth... and still find hilarious- No matter how stupid public may say it is. So I am going to read it to you.


THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER

CHAPTER I

The birth of the Prince and the Pauper

In the ancient city of London, on a certain autumn day in the second quarter of the sixteenth century, a boy was born to the name of Canty, who did not want him. On the same day another English child was born to a rich family by the name of Tudor, who DID want him.

xD Am I really that childlike? You do know who Tudor was right? If you do- who cares- I want to be a smartie. ^^

HISTORY 101: The English family by the name of Tudor was the royal Monarchy rising to the throne in 1485 through intermarriage with a Welsh Ruler. They maintained the throne till 1603 with the death of Elizabeth I (who was infertile and didn’t produce an heir… That and she was a Woman so the name wouldn’t have followed if she actually did get married). The Most popular Tudor- whom people most recognize the name to- was King Henry VIII who executed/divorced/survived his six wives- Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Katherine Howard, and Katherine Parr for giving birth to his double X chromosome -glare- Jerkhead.
