So to start off today's blog, which no one's reading anyways, I wanted to start on a small rant.
It's about hair colors.
Particularly 'red' hair colors. I love 'red' hair, I am actually a (dyed) red head. But I hate that its called red head. For one the hair is orange. Ginger. Unless you dye your hair the actual color red, like blood, cherries and pomegranates. Which I did, I loved it. It faded, I was rather sad about that. Now I have dark orange hair, kind an auburn color. I love the color on me, but I might change it back to cherry red one day. Anyways it bothers me when people say it's red because it's not. Orange is not red, orange is the product of yellow and red, its a secondary color. Its the color of sunset, of fire, of a pumpkin. It is not the color of blood, rubies, or hooker lipstick! It also ends up with me being rather confused when I'm ordering henna and I say I want my hair to turn red, I'm never sure if they understand I want ruby red not carrot red. Because apparently orange doesn't exist in the hair color world anymore.
Also, just as a side note, it seems most people in my generation have the literacy level of the starving children in India, or Africa, or Brazil. Unless those starving children can type, or write, fully coherent sentences, talk fully coherent sentences and not make themselves seem like total idiots. But for them it's okay, they're children and they live in less information abundant places. Which,actually being in a less developed country is great for your immune system, teaches it what to fight and everything..but that's another story for another day. Back to people who can't type. It's sad when I see a three sentence comment and I can't for the life of me figure out what it says because it's so garbled! I mean some typo's are okay, some people write fast and spell check doesn't catch words that don't fit, just misspelled words. Hey I mess up a lot too, although at least I can use spellcheck., some people it looks like they don't even know what it is! Or how to speak in the English language! Which is sad because usually those people have had at least ten years of English classes, they should've learned how to spell simple words by now.
Also so many girls these days enjoy reading, in my opinion, total and utter crap. Their standards for a good book are reduced to this: Love. If there is a lot of steamy make out sessions and hot guys lolling around that plot line and grammar of the book or story doesn't seem to matter at all! As long as they can read about their odd sexual fetishes everything is fine. Oh this main character is as flat as a board, is obviously a whiny idiot and has no dimension? But this hot vampire/werewolf/werewolf/vampire is in love with her SO I DON'T CARE. Or it's a fully human story where a famous/stalker jerk/bad boy/ Her brothers best friend/ the guys she's hated since forever likes her, and he's hot as fuck but, and this is always the case, he is a total douche bag. But it's alright because he's hot and he says nice things that are totally out of character. But he's like that because of some family issue/gang problem so his stalker tendencies and his asshole ways are forgiven because now he's found the one and knows it after a few days so he's not going to act like a total jerk to this plain jane/ gorgeous girl who doesn't know it yet has never been asked out/ shy but has the potential to be beautiful girl who no one else has ever noticed before. It bothers me because one these things are corny, horribly written and they make me want to puke. Two because this werewolf thing has created a new cliche, the rejected mate cliche. And it's getting old, I must admit I read a really good one, totally unexpected ending. It took a quickly growing cliche, morphed it and made it her own. It was amazing, but eight times out of ten people can't do this. They just want to put themselves in there, to hell if the story is actually good, if it has a hot guy, a poor girl and sex it's fine. It's a piss off. Plus, think about it, if some guy was being a royal ass hole to you would you fall in love with him? I sure wouldn't, to hell if he has daddy issues, it's no excuse. Also if he's a total hottie whose a major jerk he's probably not going to notice a plain jane, sorry to burst your fantasy bubble but it's not realistic, that's not real life. And if a guy was stalking me I'd pepper spray him, beat him senseless with a 4x4 then call the cops on his ass, not start making out with him.
So yes this is my rant, sorry if you don't like it but it is my opinion. It feels good to get it out. Bye!

Hello
So I'm kinda new to blogging, I've never done it before. But it seems like most people just put thoughts and such on them. So I'll do that, and hopefully virtually rotten tomatoes won't be thrown at me!
So I could start out by stating who I am, where I'm from, what I'm like and what not but I don't see the point really. You'll figure me out soon enough with what I write on here, hopefully. But I will tell you a few things, key parts of me that need to be understood.
I liked to be called Claire, remember that one. I try my best to be nice, although if I see something that needs to be pointed out it will be. In the nicest way possible, unless I just think your whining or a harsh word is more deserving. I will try my best to be courteous and kind, and I expect you to be the same way, I don't react well to jerks. I am also of the pagan religious sect, kinda. Living in a place where if I practice I'm very likely to get kicked out. So I'll have to save my true practices for when I can move out. But I state this because well I'm proud, and perhaps I like inflaming some people. I also do it so people know not to put anything derogatory about pagans or wiccans on my blog. Also to try to avoid to post anything overly christian, you are free to practice any faith you please, please do it! I want people to have freedom in that regard, everyone needs something to believe in. I will never say any faith is less or better than another, this one is just better for me. That being said this is my blog, my page so please respect my wishes and do not speak of religion, private messages are fine. But no public comments please!
One more thing, I am a writer. I enjoy reading, I enjoy thinking of characters and places. Although unlike most authors none of my characters seem to pop into my head for a midday conversation. Or any conversation, and I also tend to get distracted from my stories, I lose interest in them and I no longer want to write them, and I hate that. I'd love to finish a story. With a heroine that I'd love to be, perhaps one modeled after myself, who has as many faults as she has virtues. Someone you'll hate one minute, not for her stupidity in not picking that one guy but for her rashness and her brash attitude. Her abrupt honesty and violent anger. And then you'll love the next minute for all the same things and her funny humor. I want a girl who needs no man yet relies on her friends as much as they on her. I want to write a story filled with adventure, near death experiences and heart wrenching scenes. I want people to laugh and cry, to be glued to the pages that I've written, unable to stop reading. I want them to feel with the characters. And I don't want to follow the same cliches, although I'll undoubtedly follow some.
But it's hard to accomplish all of this when you can't even write ten chapters of a story! And when you begin to re-read some of your chapters and are ashamed of the writing in them. So perhaps I'll end up using this site to throw some ideas around, just don't steal my ideas. Its mean and illegal, I can sue you. So just save yourself the time and don't steal my stuff, okay?
At the moment I have around 6 unfinished stories on a popular site called Wattpad. One has over three thousand reads, and I can't understand why. The witting at the beginning is awful and I want to shoot myself for it. But I won't take down the story, three thousand reads is a lot for me!
I'm also figuring out a magical world, for a possibly, unlikely, medieval fantasy world of my own devise. Perhaps the water will fall up not down, perhaps the trees will grow sideways instead of up, I'm not sure. I'm just trying to create nine different, original and magical, landmarks. Or six landmarks and three races or cities. Their all based off of these imaginary characters I had when I was little, these little guardian fairies. It was cute, and I thought that if I made even the landscape something close to me it might inspire me to write more.
Right now these landmarks are just floating in nothing space. There aren't even living creatures inhabiting them yet, not even a squirrel. So it's obviously very rough, very rough.
So anyways I think this is all I have to say for now, more later. Perhaps tomorrow when a horrible demon descends upon the safe haven I have created and proceeds to light everything on fire. Perhaps a well places arrow or dagger will destroy this formidable foe. Or not, it's like going after a boss and your only level ten, with minimal skills and your still a noob. So I'll probably come back here tomorrow singed and bleeding.
No I'm not insane I'm just hoping to confuse some people. Anyways, don't feed any trolls people. And enjoy your day.
