How Dare You Make Me Cry?!

Promotional Poster for Hamilton Hamilton (Left), and Burr (Right) Burr (Far Left), Eliza (Left), Angelica (Center), and Peggy (Right) The first time I watched the musical Hamilton, I was by myself. I saw it on Disney +, the day it came out, having heard the hype, but never seen it. I thought it was okay, first act was boring, overall it was okay. Hamilton wasn't the best rapper (or singer), and on my own the emotional scenes just felt awkward to me. Tonight I watched it with my mom (on Disney +). She hadn't seen it either so I suggested we watch it together. Watching it the second time with someone else made a big difference. Movies are just fine watching on your own, they are something to be both private, and shareable. Theater, however, well it's something you kind of need to watch with someone. Imagine sitting in a Broadway Theater, and you are the only one there. Sure the novelty would be interesting, but it just wouldn't be as fun being the only pers...

Everything Is Just Peachy (Everything Is Just A Dumpster Fire)

It's late, and I'm tired. So I'll cut to the chase. I'm not known for being the most reliable writer. I mean the sheer amount of posts I've made that promise a part two, that are still sitting, and collecting dust. Well I doubt I have an audience. I don't remember how long it's been since I posted, but I'm in a bad mood so I don't even care. This is a vent. This is for me. This is NOT for my lying, cheating, douche of a now ex-boyfriend. I don't even want to get into it right now, I just want to cry or scream, or punch him in his stupid face. I know it's not my fault, but I can't help to berate myself for starting this relationship. To be honest I don't love him. I don't have a strong emotional connection to him. I feel upset, but also like I could move on tomorrow afternoon. If I decide to post again, I'll explain more. Basically my point is this: I finally get a boyfriend After years of being alone, wishing for love ...

Fahrenheit 451 - Part One

Image
First, a few Updates: 1. I am now legally an adult! Woo! 2. I GRADUATED!!!!!!!!! I honestly wasn't sure I would make it but I did!!!! 3. In a couple weeks I am going to be moving out so I can start my new job as an apartment manager 4. I just ate half a pint of ice cream at one-something a.m. Now that we have gotten that stuff out of the way let's get down to business. So for my birthday, me and my mom went to the mall we saw Avengers: Endgame (10/10) and I got lots of stuff. One of the things I got was Fahrenheit 451. I haven't read it yet but am very excited to since it is a very famous piece of literature. Now I've been wondering lately, since I have time on my hands what to write on my blog. I was pretty stumped until I had a brilliant idea. Me: What should I write for my blog? Maybe I should get rid of it since I don't post much. Myself: Don't, it is important Me: Why? Myself: Because it is okay? Wait, are you ever going to read those boo...

Shell Shocker: A Review

Image
Do you ever meet people, whether in real life or online that you just connect with? Have you ever stayed true to your team, unwavering loyalty until you were all that is left of a once magnificent plane? The key clacks of a glorious battle still ring in my ears as I recall my time on https://shellshock.io I had heard about the game at school. My peers had a preference of playing this game rather than do their work. A dangerous game considering how close we are to graduation. I was at home while my mother was on her computer. I told her about the game, and she went to investigate playing as "Your Mom" (Yes, really). I quickly sat myself before my desk in order to join on the fun. Upon entering the website I equipped myself with a RPEGG (this game is filled with egg puns). Entering the first fight I figured out the controls, and gave some ominous one-liners. Quickly getting bored, out of lack of intellectually stimulating company, I moved on. Hopping from game t...

Oh My Gosh it makes sense now!

Image
So  you know when you look something up or you happen across something and it clarifies a thing? I got that feeling! I was singing Disney songs (because I like singing) and I decided to sing Whole New World with my cat (because we are that cute #catgoals). Singing through the song with him I got to this part: A whole new world (Every turn a surprise) With new horizons to pursue (Every moment, red letter) I'll chase them anywhere There's time to spare (Anywhere) There's time to spare (Let me share) This whole new world with you A whole new world (A whole new world) That's where we'll be (Where we will be) A thrilling chase (A wondrous place) For you and me I was like "What does red letter mean?" Oh, Google you make me a happy woman. Red Letter means  any day of special significance or opportunity. That makes so much sense! Flying on the carpet, travelling the world, this was a day of significance and opportunity to Jasmine. So dear world, i...

It is no secret here that I am in love with Tom Hiddleston. Probably noted by my two part extravaganza "Tom Hiddleston Appreciation Time". I also harbor feelings for the wonderful, marvel ously fantastic Loki Odinson! (Heh heh marvel ously) Anyway, I also read a lot of fanfiction. Specifically Loki(Marvel)/Reader fics. So i'm reading all these fanfictions and I'm like: "Hey, I wanna write summa dat" ™ So I got myself a little account of Archive Of Our Own and so far I have two fanfictions. I'm actually having a lot of fun!

PSA: Misandry is Not Feminism

Image
We should all know what Misogyny is. Misogyny is the dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women. We hear this word often enough that we have a clear cut understanding of what it is. Feminism is more misunderstood. Being a feminist is often laden with baggage and associated with stereotypes. One of the more serious misunderstandings is that Feminism means you hate men or want them killed. This is not true. Feminism is the advocacy of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes. Now there are people who do hate men and think they should be killed. This is not Feminism and this is not being a 'Feminazi'. There is a proper term for this however. Misandry is the dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against men.

Blast From The Past Continued/The Art of Film Making

Image
So in digging through the videos saved on my computer I found a complete gem. A film I made when I was 13. It was shot in one take with my laptop's camera, it is 47 minutes long and was performed with Barbie's. Also the entire thing was improv. My mom was in charge of music and Rapunzel. Basically these four friends go to the middle of the forest at night to pick a pumpkin for their Halloween party. Then after four ghosts show up telling them not to pick pumpkins a vampire appears and kills one of the guys. Then the vampire fights a cat who is the guardian of the pumpkin that keeps humanity alive. The story concludes with two of the side characters dancing to Joker music with a cameo of an Orca. That is just a brief summary. I just got done watching and I am still processing what I just saw. I mean, what was 13 year old me thinking? It was made with such purpose and concentration. I was very serious about my art. Unfortunately I can't post my film here because I accide...
