Odd Thoughts

 “The question is very understandable, but no one has found a satisfactory answer to it so far."

-Anne Frank

I think such odd thoughts.

Like, how do we know we can't breath in outerspace? Did someone try it? How do we really know? Maybe we are just told that. How do we know what stars are, or that the Earth moves around the sun. Has anybody touched a star, or been far enough away to watch the Earth circle our sun?
Maybe stars are pinpricks in heaven?
Who knows what's on the dark side of the moon? Maybe it's a lost civilization.

What does it feel like to die? Is it scary? Or peaceful? Do you realize you are dying before it even happens? Do you truly see your life flash before your eyes? Do you float away, or is like a bright flash? Do you get a holy trial or do you just wake up in Heaven or @#!*% ? Preferably heaven.
Is dying dark, or is it light?


What goes through an animals mind? Can they love? I know they can fear, or feel happy, but can they hate? Do dogs go to heaven? Who first decided to drink cow's milk? How did they come to that conclusion?

How did letters and words began? How did they decide A says ah?

Who kissed or hugged first? Was it awkward? Who was the first person to be married by a priest/preacher/pastor? Did Eve freak out when her stomach grew larger with Cain? How did they react to childbirth?

How did myths start? Were Greek gods based off of real (though not godly) people? Was there truly a curious woman named Pandora or a strong man named Hercules?

Did God make a chicken, or did God make an egg?

How did Noah and his family react to watching people drown in the flood? Did they get seasick? How did the Ark smell? Was it lonely, being the only people on earth?

Who named Colors, or discovered color blindness? What was Sir Isaac Newton doing under the tree? Who first looked up at space and said to himself, "I want to travel up there"?

I think a great many odd thoughts....

"Why does this boy ask so many questions?" he asked the trees.
Naturally, they didn't answer.”

Villainous deeds indeed

I have a deep confession to make....

"I love Villains".

Its sadly very true.  I spend more time dreaming over the baddies in novels and books.  So, therefore, it's hardly no surprise that my NaNo novel is pretty depended on my villain. In fact, I have 'written' enough background on my Naranbaatar/Narl that I can probably write a book for him..which I totally should.

Anyway, I'd thought I should write a post about some of my favorite Villainous boys.

Should it be any surprise Loki is number one of this list? I mean, come on, honestly....

Is this the face of a malicious man? No? Yes? Well, whatever you answer, Loki is one of the coolest Villains. Coolest in many ways. He is the god of mischief. I can't help but think, I'd be good friends with Loki. And even in Mythology, He didn't do things to be bad, but to entertain himself. A trickster. A Joker. A cutie clown.  Of course, Tom Hiddleston playing Loki does influence that like factor.......Now, granted, he is much more bad in The Avengers, but I still think he isn't terrible.  Ok, no, he is terrible....but it all stems from being the innocent prankster somewhere down deep.  You all have permission to call me physco now.

I honestly don't understand why I adore Durza....But for some reason, he seemed to be so much, more, then Eragon.  I was heart broken when he Durza died. I mean, come on, the most powerful Shade, gone because he lost his attention because a Dragon came through the roof...honestly? Honestly? Honestly?
I went through the second book moping over his death, and groaning each time because he wasn't there.
And I hated Eragon with a fury.
But, in book 3, I realized Eragon wasn't all that bad, and decided, him being the hero after all, I should try my hardest to like him. And I did.
But I still do a little heart sob whenever Durza's name comes up....

Oy! It's everybody's favorite 12 year old Criminal master mind, Artemis Fowl!
From the moment I opened the book, I went, "Oh, this is a badass kid. I love him" and ever since, I've had mized emotions on this Young Moriarty. He is 12, I'm 16. I think I've grown to respect and adore in a big sisterly way.  Not so much outright adore. Though, I could. If he was older.
(Ya know its bad when you think, "If this boy was older, I'd love him" and he is fictional...*facepalm*)
But, of course, there is no discrediting Butler. I have said on many occasions I want a Butler like that.
Artemis embodies the little child in all of us, the child who still believes in Fairytales, with the cold cunning of a crime lord. How much better can it really get?

{I have not, in fact, watched OUAT, but that does not affect my ever bounding affection for this giggling Villain}.  The first I ever saw of Rumpel was the traditional fairytale that, lets face it, is stupid. (Maybe i shall do a post on the stupidity of fairytales....).  I am rather pleased with the way Once Upon A Time redid this 'lovable' fellow.  The second I saw of him was a youtube video of him laughing in different scenes.
There is a phrase I'm looking for...oh...

"Hook, line and sinker".

How does someone so horrid be so adorable at the same time?  I have since watched every youtube video of him and Belle I could get my fangirl hands on. And, I have literally no idea how someone could hate him.  Durza, Loki, yeah, I can understand where they might have haters. But what is there to hate on this adorable little giggling bad dude?

Someone once told me they didn't like him becuase he is the villain, my reply?

"Well. Hate him then. I adore him. MY LITTLE SUNSHINE EVIL DARLING!"

So there.

I'm not going to say much, since it's hard to concentrate on not blinking, and thinking up something witty to say....moving on....

Dracula was the first Villain I actually loathed. Yet...liked because he had won the loathe award. Ah, why am I so complicated? I have not watched any Dracula movies, just read the book (I actually haven't finished it...I need to do that...). And I won't let myself read it unless its late at night, and I'm the only one awake, because, that's just the way it should be read, in the dark, where every noise makes you squeak and dive under your blankets, as if that will ever protect you..... XD

No list of villainous punks would be complete with Jim (or James, whatever you prefer) Moriarty.  I was always intrueged by the Professor Moriarty in the story, and rather bummed out that he only had one story. I always wondered, who really, was this great man?

 The Basil Rathbone Moriarty was alright, except for the fact that he was 'killed' and yet, survived each time he came up, and had a complete change of face later on:

Which, was rather disgruntling, but, hey. Plastic Surgery can work wonders....I guess....

 

And then I saw Daniel Davis' portrayal as The 'honorable' Professor. In one Star Trek episode, they portrayed such a different, and yet, same, Moriarty then I had ever known, and it launched my love for this great baddie.   It showed a strangely human (Human...ehehehehehehe. Seeing how Moriarty was a holograph....And yes, that was a Loki laugh) Moriarty, one who actually was a person, and not just an embodiment of bad guy.

Daniel paved the way to big finale....

Andrew Scott=Best Moriarty ever. 

And then, to be fair, we can't leave Jared Harris' Mo out....

He did play a rather good Professor Moriarty, I like how they showed his 'Professor' side. Something the other portrayals of him seem to forget....He ISN'T just a bad guy.

But he is one mega Villain all the same.

And that concludes my favorite men of Villainous deeds, but, in any line up, we have our runner upers:

The Nazgul. I just like them. They be coolio. No reason, no argument to back myself up, I just do.

Ok, come on. I'll admit, the only reason Gru is a runner up is because, One) He isn't a villain at heart and Two) He is such a cliche villain. But, he pulls the cliche off very well....

I'd like to take a moment to think on this man's total badness. I mean, he is bad.  Truthfully, he should be more then a runner up. But, this is a list of my favorites, and he just isn't one of them.  He is a good Villain, a bad villain, a kick butt villain, a horrifying Villain, and honestly, a believable villain. He doesn't yell, but is soft spoken, he doesn't torture you (Unless you happen to be a certain fashion designer named Cinna...) but instead locks you in a room with poisons berries. But, like I said, this was a list of my favorites, not the best. 
President Snow truly is right up there with the best.

 

I honestly planned on putting Palpatine up in my favorites, but upon thinking about it, I decided to move him down here. He just isn't my favorite. Thats Darth Vader, and I've never considered Vader a villain...rather, an anti-hero, or lost hero, or Hero-what'cha-will. 

First off, let me state, Onceler is adorable.  Even his Greedler self is adorable.  I'm currently putting together a cosplay of his striped pants, vest and cute little hat.  

But He isn't truly the villain in 'The Lorax', At least not in the movie, and not really in the children's book either.  SO I can't really classify him as a 'favorite villain' but a 'favorite animated movie character'? Oh yes.  His face is now on my Laptop screen, my iphone lock and home page. 

I realize Mr. Joker deserves to be way higher on this list, but I haven't watched Batman, only the funny Joker clips, so here he stays.  But, Le Joker wins le reward for being able to make us laugh while still being horrified at his actions.

And, this is the end,  since I have the feeling I'm just pulling villains out of my head now, whether I like them or not, since I am enjoying this post so much. I should do more posts on Villains...actually no. The fact that I'm enjoying putting down all my favorite baddies might actually be disturbing...I should probably see a Doctor, the mental sort, for that...

So, thoughts? Do you agree? Disagree? who would you add to this list? Nothing pleases me more then comments, except chocolate, ya know. ^.^

Signed off with a computerish whirring noise, since this is a scheduled post, 

and therefore, controlled by the lovely thing that is blogger:

Ashley

Hoi.

Friends, are what make it all worthwhile
Just try and show a little style
And life can put a smile
On your face

-Love Always Comes As a Surprise-

 

I feel particularly sassy and sarcastic today, and weird. and wired. It probably has something to do with the fact that I've eaten more sweet things today then I have in the last 3 months. yay, go me.  I've also pumped out some pretty awesome writing today, so, I guess it's a little bit of a win-loss.  

Hey, guys, I have a huge confession.

I am in love with a physco murderer who lives in an ultimate lair.

Ha ha ha.

Got'cha.

Blogger keeps turning my font into italics, and I'm losing the fight with myself to keep changing it. gershgershgersh.

I laughed like RumpleStilken today. I made myself very proud of Me, then, I realized laughing like a maniac villain who I haven't even watched wasn't a very good idea. 

I realize I should be writing, but, well, I'm kinda at a difficult place, so I'm chickening and just blogging instead. Hey, I could be doing worse things....like Tumblr.

I have another confession...I'm not a big Scottish accent fan, much preferring the Irish accent, but, Gerry has a beautiful accent. He really does. 

You will notice, I'm still typing in Italics.

And, I just noticed my font is smaller too. It's not intentional, I accidental didn't change it from the beginning song lyrics. oops. and i'm lazy right now. oh look. i didn't capitalize. 

nanowrimo is teaching my some very bad habits of not fixing typos and stuff.

in fact, i've just kinda gotten to where i just let the word doc tell me if stuff will be fixed, and some of it is fixed automatically. thats really nice.

really really nice.

 

i probably look either a) really lazy or b) really copycat right now, since i'm all 'small font, no capitals' right now.

but i swear im not.

i'm just tired, and ive been writing all day.

and i'm feeling strangely wired too.

i just feel strange. lets leave it at that.

i'm always strange though......

i have a question. 

if you argue with an idiot, are you the bigger idiot for arguing with someone of lesser intelligence then you? and if that is the case, then that would automatically make the other guy the lesser idiot, which would mean you are arguing with someone of greater intelligence then yourself, which means you wouldn't be the greater idiot, so would that automatically shift you to the lesser idiot?

and that probably made no sense.

go to bed, ashley. you're tired.

good night strange world. actually, i might write more....

or go to bed.

or write....

or tumblr.

tumblr is always a good idea.

(Oh, I am almost at 40K! YAYAYAYAYA me!)

ya know, that capitalized stuff is pretty nice....no. ocd, kick in. now. now. ocd, where are you? tell me i need to spell things right. why are you failing me?

This is what Bloggers do when their blogging inspiration goes 'poof!'

A question run down! (To which, guys...this vlog thing is REALLY not working. :-/).

1 What's your middle name?

 Kayle. Like the leafy green plant, but with a Y. It's actually a mix between my Grandmother's names (Gale and Kay). They were kinda disputing over who I'd be named after. First Grandbaby, ya know how it is.

2 What was your favorite subject in school?

History, Lititure and....Thats it. lol

3 Are you named after anyone?

Uh hem. ^^^^^ My Nana and Meemaw. .

4 What color are your eyes?

Light blue/Grey. Sometimes they are more like blue, sometimes they are undoubtably Grey, and sometimes they look a little Green even. My eyes are very confused and wishy washy things.

5 Are you a gamer?

I could be. If our parents would let us have a Wii, Xbox or even a playstation. Yep. I'd go Assassin's Creed FTW!

6 Favorite colors?

Aqua/turqoise, Purple, Pink, Red, Brown, Black. Gold and Loki Green.

7 Favorite animal? 

 Equine. I want a Horse so bad, it hurts. Then, Hedgehogs, Fox, and Owls. And Cats. But Cats are...are they even animals? lol

8 Favorite perfume?

Vanilla Fields. I'll quote Grey (one of my characters from Masqueraders): "Perfume stinks. It smells like chemicals with, oh look, a little fake flower". Vanilla Fields smells like Vanilla and wont kill you (or Grey, or Me) with the smell of chemicals that reminds me and Windex.

9 Favorite holiday?

My brithday? We all know I'm just that fabulous...lol just kidding. Lets see, my family doesn't celebrate Halloween, Easter, Christmas, Hannakah, April's Fools, so, I think I'm left with New Years and Thanksgiving. Its a pretty easy choice between those. I'd like to celebrate Chinese New year, however. I think it would be fun.

Thanksgiving.

10 What's your hidden tallent?

uhm...well, most people I know IRL don't know I can sing, because, surprise surprise, I never do it in public. And...I can write name poetry pretty much on the spot.

11 How many siblings do you have?

8! See that family page way up ^there^?  Go read it.

12 Who is your favorite youtuber(s)? 

Rhett and Link, MsSHERlocked, Julian Smith. WOW. I never thought I'd list Julian as a favorite. seems I surprise even myself.

13 What is your favorite movie?

Hmm....Lets see...*Rubs Hands*.We'll start off with POTO, add a spice of all the Night at the Muesums. and perhaps toss some Hunger Games, and finish it all off with a touch of Thor. Sound good?

14 What is your favorite tv show?

Star Trek (though they are no longer running).

15 What kind of phone do you have?

Iphone. Her name is Irene, and for a short while, I had my screen saver that was "I am 0000 Locked", and the password was really SHER. but, I changed it. So nanananananana!!!

16 How tall are you?

Uhm...5 something, I'm like 5'6. I think.

17 What is your relationship status?

Delightfully single.

18 What always makes you feel better when you’re upset?

Well, I actually did a post a bit ago about my anger management process. First off, I listen to angry music. Monster by Skillet and Despicable Me by Pharrel Williams are good examples. Then, I play Chess by myself. I always make the black ones win. Then, I write angry things in my journal. Then, I listen to Phantom of the Opera music, and I'm normally in a good mood after all that. If I can't do any of those things, I smile prettily and think of what I would do to the people who MAKE me upset if they were a character.

19 What's your b-day?

Febuary 11th.

20 If you where a superhero, what power would you choose, and what would your name be?

I've thought long and hard about this, I want to be able to summon animals from the surrondings. like, an Ice Dragon, or, Sand Horse. While i wouldn't be 'super' per say, I'd still have 'powers'. And my name should be some sort of Ninja-y sounding thing.

21 What quote/phrase do you live by?

I have 2:

"Follow your heart, but take your brain with you"

and

"Be a Froot Loop in a Cheerio World."

Uh, *coughcough* London. Paris. Europe period. New York.

huh? Celeb crush? I don't really...ok. I don't have a 'crush', but I greatly admire Tom Hiddleston, David Tennet, Matt Smith, Gerard Butler and Benedict Cumberbatch. Great Scott, look at that. They are all British! Well, Gerry isn't, but he is close to it.

24 Do you use sarcasm a lot?

.........

........yes.

C. Chore that you hate: Hmm...I'm odd in the way I really don't mind washing dishes or folding clothes (gives me time to plot out stories or fix character problems).  The least favorite chore would probably be cleaning bathrooms.  Especially when you have two brothers....{shudder}.  Need I say more?

J. Job title: Full time sister, Part time assistant teacher, Full time student.  Short order cook.  The life of an oldest sister.

Friday's favorite things

Ok, so I know that I just did a post. But that was a giveaway post.  And this here is a real post.  Anyone out there see the difference?

Sherlock Holmes.  I love'im.  I love his outfits, his smarts, and his actor Basil Rathbone!

I love Cupcakes.  Stop it Ashley. cupcakes...cupcakes...cupcakes....STOP IT!! YOU ARE MAKING ME WANT THEM!!  And  I am NOT going to go bake some.  I eat and look, no cook.

Baby kisses.  Baby faces.  Baby coos.  Baby brothers.  Baby smell.  Baby giggles.  Baby laughs.  Baby feet.  Baby Smiles. Baby clothes.  Baby Sisters.  Baby words.  Baby food.  Oh, wait, how did that last one get there?  Can you perhaps tell I'm getting excited about the new sibling that is coming sometime in July or August?

Cake.  ooooh.....STOP IT!

And cookies.  Why do I have to be such a sugar bum?  I can't eat a lot of it, due to diabities running in our family, and I'm to lazy to cook anything like that. ^.  I can't stand cooking period.  But I like Deserts better then real food.

Old Musty book that smell of ages.  Pages that crinkle when opened. and have swirly font.

This song.

Up. I actually came close to tears when Ellie dies, and when they loose their baby.  I'm an emotional baby. 

Thats it for now...I'm going to go listen to Loch Lomond, if you please.
