Glee! Rocky Horror Glee Show

So for Christmas this year, one out of the three things that I wanted for Christmas. I got Season 2 of Glee on DVD. Glee is my second favorite show. I love to watch what songs they sing love to be part of the group that hates Sue, and the drama and men are so yummy. It's already on the third season and it has been okay. I think it will get better. The last episode for sections was sooooo good! Best episode of the season so far. So I decided to write reviews of each episode to give me some blog posts. I watch them on my computer and then I will write a review of them. And rate the episode and each song. And then my favorite song of each episode. While I watch these episodes with my headphones in, my sister and her best friend are watching Vampire Diaries Season 2 on the TV so I will hear the conversation on that TV every so often.
The Rocky Horror Glee Show isn't the first episode of the season, it is the 5th but I will write reviews for the other ones before this one. I remember first seeing the commercial for this episode. I had never heard if Rocky Horror Picture Show before Glee. I looked it up and saw what was part of this 70s musical. They throw food at you, it can be very inappropriate, and there's a transvestite.
Now, after Glee I have seen parts of The Rocky Horror Picture Show and it is in a weird way really good. I will eventually see the whole thing all the way through. But after this Glee episode it probably is one of my favorite episodes in all of Glee.
The episode begins with a pair of red lips and a black screen and Santana singing Science Fiction/Double Feature. It is a cool way I thought of beginning the episode because it makes you think if you are watching the right thing. I give this song 5 out of 10 lips (perfect for the episode) because its one of those slower songs and it is only beginning the show. But her voice is still really good. The episode continues with Will wanting to do Rocky Horror Picture Show as the musical because he wants to impress Emma Pillsbury even though she is dating Carl(John Stamos) and Will is still in love with Emma. Everyone is cast in the musical and Will cuts out the bad parts of the musical to make it more appropriate. Finn is Brad in the musical and has to sing in his whitey tightys. He realizes he is uncomfortable with his body. But Finn shouldn't be because Cory Monteith is gorgeous! He is so cute and I am happy to know that we get to see him shirtless.
Sue Sylvester has her Sue's Corner. This "corner" makes me want to smack her even more. I hate Sue along with many other Glee fans. But I do love Jane Lynch. She is pretty cool.
Rachel and Finn sing Dammit Janet. I like this song but I don't think I could listen to it as much as the other songs. Rachel sings and doesn't actually look like she is about to cry because she always makes those weird faces when she sings. Though, I still love her voice. Mercedes Kurt and Quinn do a great job at looking...dead? Not sure how to describe how they are supposed to act but they still do a good job at fitting in the weird feel of Rocky Horror. I give this song 7 out of 10 lips.
John Stamos then performs What Happened to Saturday Night? He does a good job at this song and being in Full House will eventually get out of my head watching him in Glee enough times. I give this song 5 out of 10 lips. It's not my favorite but it still is good.
Mercedes decides that she can be Frank-N-Furter and sings Sweet Transvestite. Her voice is so strong, she looks great in the video, and it was a great song. It was just an overall great performance. This song deserves 9 out of 10 lips.
Will then takes Sam out of being Rocky Horror and decides that he has to be the part. So we have seen Sam also shirtless and it is so good. Um 10 out 10 lips for his body!
When Emma and Will talk, Emma sings Touch A Touch A Touch A Touch Me. Ok, to state this clearly this is my second favorite song in all of Glee. I LOVE this song. I don't know why it is so good. It's such a fun song to sing to sing to and I love the "Creature of the Night" sung by everyone at the end. I heard this was Jayma Mays audition song for Glee. She does this song so well and I am so glad they included it in the musical. The weird thing is she is singing Janet's part to Rocky Horror, which is Rachel's part she plays. I do not think that Lea Michele could sing this song as well as Jayma sings it. And plus she rips off Will's shirt. I think he deserves a one hundred and ten percent for that body! Also, the song gets a 10 out of 10 lips.
Finn decides to walk around school in his costume which means topless. It was also beautiful. I think this episode is so good because it had three men topless.
Will cancels the show because he realizes it would be too risky but he still wants the glee club to perform the song for themselves. So they perform their last song, Time Warp. This song is so great because it seems everyone has a fun part to sing in it. The dancing is great, the costumes looked so amazing, and the overall performance was such fun.
So my favorite song of this episode was definitely Touch A Touch A Touch A Touch Me. I really enjoyed this episode and will be watching it again and again and again.

Juliet Immortal Book Review!

So I recently finished the book Juliet Immortal by Stacey Jay. It was a lot better than I expected. I found this book on goodreads.com. This book had just been published so I got my hands on it pretty quickly, especially being from the library. It was a random decision because I loved the cover and the title. I love Romeo and Juliet so when I saw something that seemed to relate to Romeo and Juliet, I wanted to give it a try. The cover is ravishing, it is so pretty. I started this book over Thanksgiving break for something to read. I really tried to put it down but I couldn't. It was pulling me in.

This was a book about Juliet Capulet who was bouncing from soul to soul to protect soul mates. She didn't want Romeo, he also was bouncing from soul to soul, to get to the soul mates. Romeo was on the Mercenaries, which are the people who are trying to keep the soul mates apart and the Ambassadors were trying to stop the Mercenaries from killing people. Juliet wasn't an Ambassador but she was helping them and was working her way up to become one. But she wasn't reaching them because she was facing something dark.

**Time for Spoiler Alert**

This book was a lot more violent then I expected. A lady was kidnapped and then murdered. There are specters that haunt Romeo and Juliet and are usually always bloody.

Here, Juliet goes into the body of Ariel Dragland. Her memories are open to Juliet so she knows what is happening. But the thoughts and actions are from Juliet. Juliet meets Ben. She falls for him hard. Immediately. It made me realize that love can always have a second chance. Because I was always in love with Romeo and Juliet. That whole love at first sight makes my heart melt. But then with Ben, it made me realize that Ben was so much better for Juliet then Romeo was for her.

Juliet faces a whole battle throughout the book with many things. Some are against Romeo, some against what will happen to her soul, and others are against herself. She has to realize that she has to love herself. She is shown what really happened that night she died. She kept telling herself that Romeo killed her but she never wanted to admit that it was herself.

The romance in this novel was really good. But I liked how it had a mix of everything. There was romance, adventure, suspense, gore, and violence.

I definitely recommend this book to anyone that wants a good read. It did make you think a bit. But that's something I liked about it. I could definitely see this as a movie. If this would be a movie, I would be first in line to see it.

The things I didn't like about it: (**Still Spoilers**)

There was always talks about the original story of Romeo and Juliet. I was a little disappointed that there was never talk about Romeo's best friend Mercutio. I always thought he was an awesome guy. About three chapters take place in Romeo's voice and he never even mentioned him either.

Also, at the end, Juliet finally wakes up back to when she was put to sleep before she dies. She bangs on the coffin and someone opens it up. It is Ben. So, they immediately fall in love in another life. Romeo has run off and she doesn't care. She still remembers Ben and he starts to remember too. He tells her he is Benvolio, Romeo's cousin. I liked how they would be together but I wasn't the biggest fan of the fact that in another life, Ben was Benvolio. But I had to accept it. But I did like how it was in another life kind of love. That was sweet.

**End of Spoilers**

So overall, this book was amazing. I would love it to be a movie. So that way, people would know about it and I could tell them to read the book because it was so good.

On some side notes, I went to Sephora the other day and picked up two things. So mini haul!

I got the mini Bad Gal Lash from Benefit. I heard great reviews from this mascara and my mascara at my dorm is not the best. This one is really good and I am loving it! It's even better because it is mini and I always have better luck with mini mascaras than normal sized ones.

I also got Sephora's face powder. I am running low on my favorite Physician's Formula face powder but I wanted to try something different. This isn't the best picture but the best one I could find. Mine has Sephora's symbol in the middle of it.

This is my mini haul and book review! I plan on reading way more books over my Christmas break because it is the end of my first semester! I have a huge list and plan to break through a good amount of those books. I think the next book will be The Secret Life of Bees. I also will be working a lot to get me some money to buy more books and makeup. :)

My first book blog: Invitation Only by Kate Brian!

So I finished this book last night after starting it a very long time ago. I started it when I first moved into my dorm back in August. Now it's November! Eek! Okay, now is where I make the lame excuse of how I have been so busy that I haven't been able to read. Someone kill me now! I'm sorry I haven't read as much as I would like too.
This book is the 2nd book in the Private series. What is even worse is how long ago I took to continue this series. I read the first one back in July 2008! So when I started it again, things were a little fuzzy but when I got back into the book I remember them.
Here is the summary on the back of the book:
Reed Brennan's future is looking as bright as the two-karat diamonds in her new housemates' ears. Being accepted to the most prestigious private boarding school in the country wasn't enough for Reed. She had to break every rule to do it, but she has accomplished the impossible:Reed is a Billings Girl now. And with her new status come respect, envy, and, most important, opportunity. Not to mention the parties. Unfortunately, at the next illicit party in the Easton campus woods, her roommate snaps some pictures of Reed in more than one compromising position. She uses the photos to blackmail Reed: Dig up dirt on the most powerful and popular Billings Girls or she will have Reed expelled.And speaking of parties, the Legacy is coming up. It's the invitation-only Halloween party in NYC and it's rumored that Thomas -- Reed's MIA boyfriend -- will be making an appearance there. Too bad Reed isn't even close to invited.Life as a Billings Girl is every bit as glamorous as Reed imagined. What she didn't bargain for is the tangled web of private lies these girls weave.

Okay now for the ***SPOILER ALERT!!***

This book was pretty decent. I had no idea that the Billings Girls were going to do that to Reed. What they did, that is the part I will not spoil. :)
But in other terms, the guy she goes out to with to try to get a ticket to the Legacy, Walt Whittaker. They all called him Whit. I felt so bad for him because he really liked Reed but she didn't like him back. Though, I think Constance and Whit would be the perfect couple. <3
Let me just say OMG to the Legacy. I would love to go to a party like this. It basically is a masquerade with beautiful gowns and every guest receives a designer something that is white. I would love it! Going to a Masquerade is on my list of things to do, but I don't think I could make it to one this expensive. hehe
The ending was great and the last line of the book were perfect. Just before she is thinking she might be having some feelings for Josh, and she tells him that she can be happy without Thomas and she's better off without him. But then, they find Thomas' body. He is dead!! (I was kind of expecting that haha) But the last line says if she opens her mouth, she would scream and never be able to stop. It was great. I would probably do the same. She loved Thomas. Even though he made a girl think about how his feelings were, he was still good to her. Even though I love Thomas, I think I might be on team Josh. He seems better for Reed.
Earlier, she finds this note that Thomas gave her. I'm pretty sure I shed a tear at that part though I'm not sure since it has been so long since I read the beginning.
***END OF SPOILER***
Overall, the book was pretty good and is most defiantly making me want to read the rest of the books. They are on my list!
P.S. I ordered a book called Juliet Immortal by Stacey Jay from my library to read over Thanksgiving break. The book looks good and the cover is even better. There will be a review on that one coming.

Pinterest!

Ok, as you guys know. I am obsessed with the website Pinterest. So, I've decided to share three pictures with each blog post. I figured I am going to sit here and try to get as many blog posts as I can out there. This first picture is so simple, it can be replicated. But it is so cute that I just had to show you guys. It has the simple nightstand, bed spread and a nice basket for some storage underneath. I think the flowers and the pictures of the flowers give it perfect touch. I am defiantly feeling this as a guest bed. I would love to stay at a friend's house and sleep in this room.

This next picture is something I would love to have in my house. For one, I love typewriters. Something I think is so old-fashioned but at the same time, it never goes out of style. I would love to write a book by just using a typewriter. Also, the fact that the typewriter is this really cute turquoise color. And the wallpaper is so chic. I have noticed that bird patterned stuff is becoming very popular. It's really in, whether it be in clothes, jewelry, or home decor.
This next picture is something anyone can do with a corner of their porch that they are not sure what to do with it. It can be made into a little swing. Sadly, there is no back to the swing but that doesn't make it enjoyable. I know if I or a friend had this problem with a corner, I would show them this picture and they can become inspired by it. A lovely scene in a book or simply your actual experience would be nice on this swing.
Along with things I am really into, I am currently obsessed with listening to old Disney music from those great movies. My personal favorite is "I Won't Say I'm in Love" from Hercules. I love this song and it is a great song to sing with girlfriends. So I made a playlist on YouTube where I listen to a bunch of music from Disney movies. I also made another playlist called I just want to be a kid again, where it has some great old music from A*teens, JoJo, Hilary Duff, and Jesse McCartney. And the classic Miracles Happen by Myra song from Princess Diaries.
That's all for now. Hope everyone enjoys the pictures.

We found love in Milanno Cookies and Pinterest!

Hey people!

I have come to update you on the things I am currently obsessed with.


1. We Found Love by Rihanna ft. Calvin Harris. I don't know what it is about this song that just makes it so addicting. Probably the mix of a dancy tune but with the slow mo beautifully sung lyrics. It mixes two into one. It is so good. It's always on when I am on my computer. And the lyrics are really good. "We found love in a hopeless place" Love. And the music video, it's something to check out. It's good but at the same time it is so weird. It's a good mix of bad and good.
2. Ok this deals with something I am currently obsessed with. Yesterday, I took a much needed run to Target for a few things: 1. Herbal Essence Tousle Me Softly Shampoo. 2. An eyelash curler because I do not have one here at my dorm. and 3. the thing I am obsessed with. Milanno cookies. These things are so good and I got the double chocolate one. I have to restrain myself from eating the whole box. My grandma used to always have this in her drawer when we went to visit her at her apartment. We would always get some, and they are just so good. And I got a coupon for 55 cents off my next bag of them. I'll take it!


3. Pinterest.com This is coolest thing since sliced bread. It's a website where people put pictures up of all kinds of things. Some funny, some cute, some just in general awesome. I have saved so many pictures. And once you have clicked on the picture, it brings you to the website it is from. Some are cool tutorials and websites for recipes. I have found some great ideas from this website. Here, I am going to show a couple picture that I have already saved to my computer.


To the left is a picture that I think is so cool. The books are organized by the color of their spine. I kind of want to go home and organize my bookshelf like this. And I don't think I even have this many books which makes me so jealous. Though, I would change it to have in order of the rainbow, so I would have the reds on the first shelf.


Ok, let us look at the picture on the right. How cute is that?? It's basically every girl's dream! And I'm pretty sure it's raining, which makes it even better. :)


I found the picture on the right and just thought how cute! This would be perfect for my log cabin that I wanted to go to in my last post. The fireplace on the left is just so sweet and I would love to sit in front of that right now. It's got that real antique feel. Plus the dog is so cute and my dog would get a kick out of laying there.
So those are the things I am currently obsessed with at the moment. I will keep you guys posted and I plan on showing more pictures I found from pinterest.com

Fall Break, Allergies, and Cabins

Right now, has officially started my fall break! Well, it started at 4:30 when my class ended but now I am sitting here deciding that I wanted to update my blog. I have no classes on Monday and Tuesday. This is a relief because my busy day is on Monday, so now I can have a relaxed Monday. I am loving fall so far, but with one downfall. The drastic changes of weather here. Last weekend, it decided to rain the weekend and not stop. This due because I was at my camp. We all agree that mother nature decides to make camp a little more fun and that it needs to rain on us sometime throughout the weekend. But for us, it rained the whole time. I was on staff this year, so it was a relief to be able to sleep inside. But it was still freezing cold in the room. Saturday night, after an awesome day of rain showers and cold temperatures, I wore two pairs of sweatpants to bed. That is how cold it was. I really felt bad for anyone that had to sleep in a tent, and that included my sister.

This weekend it decided to be good to us and be a nice weekend, with nice fall weather. I was happy with that since it is my fall break. But this week, because of all the shifting in weather, my allergies decided to hit me with full force. I was unable to take anything for them because I did not have my trusty Zyrtec at my dorm. This allergy medicine has helped me through thick and thin for many years. My roommate and I were both facing these sniffles and used a whole Kleenex box within one day. It was crazy, if I may say.

But the one thing I love about Fall is having the luxury of going to a Cabin and sleeping in one, while sipping hot apple cider, reading a book, and curling up with a blanket, while you get to watch the leaves change. That sounded so cliche but I really do wish that could happen this weekend. Going to one with a bunch of my friends, or one with my family and family friends. My family and family friends of ours used to go to a cabin every year. Granted that was in the winter, but it would still be nice to go to one at this time of year. The perfect weather where it is chilly in the air but the sun is still out. You can wear the perfect fall attire, with a cute sweater, your favorite pair of jeans, and some really fabulous fall boots you got on sale. A great outfit for a great day of playing in the leaves. If this time is early enough for raking up leaves. It probably is. Some people might go a little crazy without this, but going to a cabin that has no television or computer. No Internet connection and no way to watch that new episode of Vampire Diaries. That's if you go on a Thursday. If you don't, then you are okay. But being away from these things for a few days would be really nice. Peaceful with a good touch of quiet. But don't worry, the cabin will still have a bathroom with running water and toilet and shower, and the kitchen will still have a refrigerator and Microwave to heat up those delicious Instant Mac and Cheeses. But sitting next to a fire, either inside or outside, wearing a big comfy hoodie and pajama pants sounds so inviting right now. This isn't the best picture but the cabin still looks absolutely amazing for my Fall Break. And I think my dog, Romeo would love it too.

Even though this picture of the cabin on the left is probably not real, it just looks so fabulous. I would kill to stay in a place like this. With some fabulous big windows and a nice grand porch on the side of the house to sit at with a blanket wrapped around you.

So, the moral of the story is I really really want to stay in a cabin right now. Is anybody going and would like to pick me up and take me with them right about now, that would be great.

Catching Up, Taylor Swift's perfume and Shows!

Hey Everyone!
I have not written a blog post in it feels like forever. I have an hour before my class starts, so I figured I would write one!
I have just found out about goodreads.com and I love that website. I have so many books on my list that I want to read and there just isn't enough time to read them. If you want to be my friend, please add me as a friend.
There has been so much going on. I am trying to do so much at once. I have to do homework, catch up on reading, have a huge movie list to watch with friends, write my blog, see what's new on twitter and Facebook, have tons of videos to watch on youtube, a bunch of new shows to watch, keep up with stories I have to write, eat right and keep up with exercise, and then finally sleep. Who needs sleep, right? I'm just kidding. I always try to get at least 8 hours of sleep a night, because I know it is good for my health. My roommate is usually always in bed early so I give her a lot of credit because she helps me to turn off my computer, close my book, and go to bed. For people who also do this, I feel for you.
So Taylor Swift is coming out with a perfume! I was expecting this and I was shocked it took this long since she is so famous. It comes out October 2nd and I really hope it smells good. That weekend I will away, so I am not able to go to Macys or Ulta to buy it. I am not the biggest fan of the bottle design. It looks like Brittney Spears' bottle design. Also, the name. I was expecting something different coming from Taylor Swift. Wonderstruck is nice, but I don't feel like it fits her personality. I really hope the smells makes up for it just like Justin Bieber's Someday perfume does. That perfume smells so good.
Tonight, Glee is on! I am so excited for it. I found out that one of my favorite singers, Damien McGinty, is going to be on seven episodes! He is such an amazing singer and he is soo hot!! :) Also, a new season of Biggest Loser and the new show New Girl starts tonight. I love Zooey DeChanel so I am really excited to see her on that show.
That's all the time I have folks.
Love Yas

Bows, birds, and Ohio State?

This is really old and I never had the time to post it.
To start with the one that doesn’t fit in the category: Ohio State. Yesterday, I saw three Ohio State hoodies in one school day. I don’t what it is with Ohio State, whether their football team is doing great or some great program that they just added to their school. But I said to my Angie that I saw so many hoodies, and she said “Omg, I love Ohio State! I’m going there.” But she was kidding about going there but was completely serious with loving it. I guess I’ll have to ask my brother, who is obsessed with schools from Ohio, especially Akron, if Ohio State is a good school.

Okay, now to the actual accessories that I love to spot out. Bows. They are everywhere and so cute. I see them on rings, bracelets, clothes headbands and necklaces. On the episode of Glee last night (btw, who is so shocked and upset that Finn and Rachel broke up? How horrible!) Tina was wearing a bow necklace and it was so adorable. I also was watching TV the other day when I was sick and someone, I cannot remember who, was wearing a giant gold bow ring. I mean it wasn’t giant but it was a pretty big ring, but still really pretty. So, if you see a bow, don’t be afraid to wear it, even if it’s just like Lady Gaga’s giant hair bow, because bows are in.

I’m not actually talking about birds, birds, like the living creature that walks and flies on this planet and sings sweet music for us in the morning. Or unless you talk about the bird I actually have who, at 9 o’clock at night, starts squawking for at least an hour. I guess he gets mad at himself from his reflection in the mirror or something. Well, back to my point on birds. Bird necklaces. I have seen people wearing these all the time. They do really nice and I would like to get a necklace with this flying bird on it. Does anybody know what store you can find them at? I’m thinking forever 21?
