Two days left for my birthday

I'll be seventeen on Thursday and my hysteria is obviously growing :)
I'm now sing out loud some of my most recent musical discoveries:
Johnny Cash - Hurt
Clare Maguire - The Last Dance
Muse - Hyper Music
Muse - Endlessly
In fact I've heard Muse's songs before, but they didn't sound this good back then. I love redescovering songs, it's beautiful!

P.S - Today my English class didn't agree with me when I said that all dictators should be expelled from Earth and sent to room 101. Incredible!

Life rule I

I've read a post today and, for a while, it made me feel what I need to feel every second of my life: 

I need to do everything I've always wanted to do.

Everyone says this - which means no one is fully enjoying life. It's annoying. I can work hard on so many things but I just can't work hard on the most important... And it shouldn't be like that. My dreamed life, my super goals, all my fantasies are worth it. I am worth it. I'm done with wasting opportunities.

So, from this day on, I won't go to bed without reminding myself of an action (or more...) I made during the day that led me in the direction I want to follow. It will have to be as easy as breathing.

This is really going to happen because I'm tired of this. If I want to be something, why on Earth am I not fighting for it every second of my life?? What kind of forever young diva am I?? (I am not a forever young diva - but I will be!). I want my will to rule my life. I want the me I've always wanted. I want it NOW!

P.S - I WILL HAVE IT.

yours,

More to come... part II

More to come...

Few hours left ;)

The last hours before school starts :)

I've had enough of holidays, I guess. I've enjoyed them, obviously, and now I'm ready to start school. There are so many things left to do this term, before high school is gone forever...

It's strange to think these are my last high school holidays... I guess I'm looking forward to college :)

P.S - I'm semi-hysteric because I've discovered an AWESOME software that finally allows me to download videos from YouTube (those Guns n Roses videos...).

Here's my most recent addiction:

What keeps me from wishing time-travelling was possible is the existence of Muse and 30 Seconds to Mars.

Finally illuminated

We (my English class) are supposed to choose a painting to talk about, during these holidays. I, as the biggest ignorant on Earth on what comes to art, was obviously scared and decided to see all the "important" paintings available on the Internet. I had thought about going to an art gallery or something, but the best paintings are in very distant museums, which is kind of a trouble. So I spent this last Sunday immersed in Google Art Project and some other web sites. I've discovered I don't like Picasso as much I thought I liked (but I still like it a little bit) and that Monet is amazing. I also had no idea that the Milkmaid add for Nestlé was based on this Jan Vermeer painting:

 

Even more fascinating than Vermeer's Milkmaid is an English romantic painter I've found, Joseph Mallord William Turner. It seems to me (and I may be wrong...) that his paintings are like little photographs of feelings, which is basically what I try to do with my writing. He captures the moment and adds emotion to it, playing with gold or black, light or darkness. Here are some of his paintings:

 "Caernarvon Castle"

 

 "Melrose Abbey"

"The Fighting Temeraire"

I think I'm going to use a Turner's painting (none of those I've shown you) for that English composition. I've thought about Van Gogh or Dali, but Turner's are my favorites.

P.S - I don't feel such an ignorant after last Sunday. I know nothing about painting techniques, but looking at several paintings helps a lot on what comes to understand and "decode" them.
