4. What is your favorite season of 5? Season 2

5. What is your favorite relationship in 3? Either Chair or Dair. I think Dair is awesome, but Chair is epic. It’s gonna be Chair though so I guess I’ll go with Chair. I’ve only liked Dair for like a season and a half. Chair I’ve always liked.

6. Who is your anti-relationship in 2? Amanda/Jack. I don’t like Jack. I liked the concept, but the character doesn’t do it for me.

7. How long have you watched 1? Two years :)

8. How did you become interested in 3? What the Buck on youtube recommended it.

9. Who is your favorite actor in 4? JAMES  MARSTERS

10. Which show do you prefer: 1, 2, or 5? Really? Those are my three “current” favorites too x.x Uhmmmmm I guess Pretty Little Liars since it still has a lot of time left, unlike iCarly, and my friend Tim likes to watch it with me so I have a mini fan base to fan girl with.

11. Which show have you seen more episodes of: 1 or 3? I’ve watched all of each but Gossip Girl has more episodes.

12. If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be? Willow

13. How would you kill off your favorite character in 5? Sam? Oh lord… I’d probably let her have a mental breakdown over her home life and accidentally commit suicide.

14. Would a 3/4 crossover work? I’d like to see Blair fighting vampires o.o

15. Pair two characters in 2 that would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple. Emily/Amanda with Nolan :) Nolan and her have this awesome protective bond with each other. They have great chemistry too. Now that Daniel’s gone evil, and Jack is her new main option, I firmly believe she’d be best with Nolan. Even if he is supposedly partially gay.

16. Overall, which show has the better cast: 3 or 5?  iCarly. Gossip Girl I love each character at different times, but currently I hate all the characters. The cast in and of itself… I’m only interested in Leighton Meester. I’m interested in all the iCarly actors.

17. Which has better theme music: 2 or 4? Buffy. Although during major scenes Revenge has some awesome music too.

The Fairy Glen

I found a new place where I’m happy. Before it was only the Brick Library and Tenth Grade Band. Now, I’ve found a Fairy Glen.

First let me address my use of the word “Fairy Glen” - If you don’t mind/care skip the next two paragraphs.

To me this place feels like an oasis in a city. It’s gorgeous, secluded, and filled with plants and even wildlife. (Including two baby Bambi deer I saw today <3 They were in one of the border bushes right behind the back oak tree. I didn’t even realize they were there until I saw them run away. Inserting a picture of the bush they were behind: ) So my use of the word “Fairy” implies I feel the clearing has a magical quality to it, enough that fairies could live there. I’m also using this spelling of fairy, instead of faerie (which I considered, as I actually prefer that spelling usually) because while I was growing up that is how I was taught to spell the word. To me that version of fairy represents my childhood and innocence, a pure magic. The word faerie, for me, can bring to mind tricksters and darker versions of the same idea. So, although faerie is probably the more mystical way to spell it, I chose Fairy. 

Choosing the word Glen was mainly because it sounded good coupled with Fairy. I know the word is often used for valleys in a mountain with streams running through, but I chose it because of it’s simpler definition. “Small, secluded valley.” Which is what this is to me. Also, there DOES happen to be/have been a stream behind it from what I hear ;)

The Entrance:

I love the Irises and the two rose bushes that intertwine, red roses and pink roses.

The Second Entrance:

Inside:

The pictures, unfortunately, don’t do it justice. 

The bushes circle the mini clearing just right, and curves in really good places for privacy. There’s a bunch of hundred year old trees leaning over to give just enough shade and make the area feel enclosed and hidden.

This one is my favorite tree. The big tree on the left, behind the bush. It’s HUGE, and hangs over everything.

I also love this pine tree, it’s technically not IN the Fairy Glen, but it sits on the path towards it, basically increasing how amazing the house and its yard is.

There’s also one perfect, tall oak tree in the big back circle, just tall and thick enough to sit under, and small enough to fit into the area without over powering it. 

I also love the two bushes that mark the middle of the glen, the one on the left (In the picture of the inside) is a raspberry bush :)

We actually don’t know what half the stuff is in there because, want to know the cool part? This Fairy Glen is basically natural. Of course most of the plants got planted and spread on their own, but this backyard did NOT used to look like it does now. It certainly didn’t have its own border of “swamp bushes” as my Aunt calls them. See, this hasn’t really been tended in years, no one tried to make this little oasis. All the factors both natural and man influenced, just let it sort of happen and spring up. I adore how the bushes literally make a ovular, which turns into a circular in the back, enclosing. They don’t really go into the clearing. It has everything I’d want in a Fairy Glen <3

The grass is really soft too, which is nice. There’s also these little blue flower type things in the grass, they’re really small, and I took a pic of them in the area towards the back which has less, but they just add even more to the Fairy Glen in person. You can’t see a lot of the little magical details from a distance, or even in a photograph, but when I laid down in the grass and saw those little blue sprouts, whatever they are, it made me smile and made it even more beautiful.

My mother really loved these little white flowers we found too.

They grow in the very back, and very front, of the glen. I took a sample, but they got crushed later in the day.

My mom even put one of the flowers in my hair, it stayed in for hours too, until we drove home and I opened the window, which is probably caused the flower to fall out of my hair. I took a picture of it, and I’m going to post it, but I really don’t like how I look in this picture so please excuse me »

So, I found a new place that makes me happy. The problem? It’s all the way at my aunt’s house (also I first found out about this last summer but never got to take pictures or be alone in the Fairy Glen.) and she might not keep the house. It’s actually the house my grandparents owned and my dad and aunt (and the other uncles and aunts I have but haven’t met, because that side of my family isn’t close to us, in fact I only met my aunt last June.) grew up in. 

I told her, if she keeps it for a few years, maybe until I’m twenty-five, I will try to buy that house from her when she wants to sell it. Problem is I don’t think she really takes me seriously. She knows I love it of course, and her and my parents smile every time I call it the Fairy Glen, but she doesn’t really see the beauty of it herself. I think she’s more practical minded. Her words were “One man’s nuisance is another man’s Fairy Glen.”

I did offer to help her plant more flowers and actually tend to the Glen this year, especially if my Dad wants to help because I’ll need a ride xD She wants to have more of a Japanese feel in it, Cherry Blossom trees and such. I definitely would love to see some of that in the Fairy Glen :) I just don’t want to mess with it’s borders or natural growth. The most I’d want to take away is any dead branches or vines that might kill the trees. Maybe a bit of weeding. She wants to take out the swamp bushes though, which I’ll have to try to intervene with since they’re the entire border of the Fairy Glen <3

I really feel if I owned that house (it also has an awesome porch set up and view I always wanted, plus it has an old time feel to it with a gorgeous fire place) I could be happy there. I would go out on days like today, lay in the grass, and forget everything. It might not be the dream house I always imagined, but to me that house feels like it fits just right. It’s the home I never knew I wanted, and now I can’t get it out of my head. I hope to one day be the third generation of Warwick’s to own that house and Fairy Glen <3 

So About iPear Store

It is definitely my new favorite episode. But not for the reasons most fellow Seddiers would think xD (Although I did love that little Seddie ending <3)

The reason I love this episode is I’ve always told my one friend that Freddie Benson reminds me of him, and now I have even more support.

You see my friend is a video maker, super into cameras and filming/pictures, and was on my school’s tech crew. He also happens to love apple products (pear in iCarly) so much so… he got a job earlier this year at the apple store since he knows the product so well xD

Literally the moment I heard Freddie say he got a job at the Pear store I texted my friend about this new similarity. He for some reason wasn’t happy as he doesn’t seem to enjoy the comparison, claiming it’s an insult. (My response to him was “Freddie is smart, funny, nice, and hot. How are you taking this as an insult?”) 

Anyway while I was watching the episode I literally felt like I was visiting him at work (not that I actually know what his work is officially like since I never actually have visited.) It was so cute! I could just picture him doing everything Freddie was doing. 

So I saved it to my DVR and now I have decided that everytime I watch the episode I’m going to text my friend saying “Hey! I’m visiting you at work! See me? Oh wait nevermind, it’s not you. It’s Freddie Benson. You guys are like twins.” Just to piss him off.

I just realized that if, right now, someone told me you had died, I wouldn’t care. I don’t think I’d even cry for you. It’s strange because for a long time I considered you the most important person in my life. But then I remember, you chose this. The moment you stopped responding to me I figured out you don’t care about me. Now not only do I not care about you… it’s almost as if you never existed to me. The most I have are memories of things you were once connected to, but every day those connections fade even more. I guess you were never really important to me. In fact I couldn’t even liken you to a pet, because now I realize you were even less than that. I cared, but not like I thought I did. I’d say sorry, but I’m honestly not, because you’re not even enough to me to deserve that.

I hate when people act as if someone younger than them shouldn’t have a voice. Excuse me for being a living human being with a brain. I learned a long time ago that if I didn’t speak up for myself no one will. Everyone ends up dying one day, do you really think I’m going to spend my life biting my tongue until I’m a crone? That will never be me. I’m respectful until I’m disrespected. I don’t let myself get bullied anymore. When you take the backbone out of children how can you expect them to ever become an adult that has enough confidence to hold their head high? Older age only gives the ability to add to wisdom, it doesn’t mean the older person embraces that wisdom, and it doesn’t mean the younger has no wisdom. As Jimmy Buffett said “full grown men get to learn from a child.” So yes, I do have a lot to say for someone younger. I have a brain, a voice, and a version of self-respect. That’s something you can never make me ashamed of again no matter how hard you try. /rant over

Watching someone break down is sad, but watching them not even react anymore because they’re so used to the pain? That’s tragic.
