No, I am not a drama queen or a royalty queen, not even a drag queen... However as you can see by the blog's address change, I am the queen of this small virtual domain.
Buying my domain has been a dream of mine for a while and I do plan to expand my little corner of cyberspace to include more content. In the meanwhile having this virtual domain is a dream come true.
New school year, New post, New layout and now a New web address... I am starting the new year with optimism and hope that you all have a great one too...
I might have some more news soon... so, keep reading :)
New link for contact on the right... just click and send me a question, complaint and even an idea for a post...
you can also contact me at larissa@larissaslife.com
Yep, I am back! It has been a while, I know. Summer was pretty uneventful, though the beginning of this new school year has been having its share of "events".
I got a new gadget, an IPod Touch, something I have wanted for a long time. His name is Nilik, just so you guys know lol... A friendship ended in my life and no, I am not going to get into details about it. I might talk about the symptoms for the end of this friendship very soon...
I drowned myself in my book addicting this summer and it was superb. I have found so many amazing authors, series and books, that I plan to share some personal reviews on some of them soon...
As for school, I don't wanna talk about it... Enough to say, I am having some set backs due to me being a complete idiot at times...
Last but not least... as you guys can see, there is a new layout on the blog... I decided to get something softer, however you can see there are some details in orange, as per usual lol... let me know the verdict on it :)
well, I don't have much of substance to share at this moment... I do promise to come back much sooner than expected :)
Once in a while my life life gets sort of stable and I doubt the whole "it only happens to me" and "my life is a TV show" idea. I mean, weird things happen all the time and to actually believe that I'm "special" (not in the "short-bus" way) enough that in actually ONLY happens to me, it would be crazy. Then:
Something happens that it simply makes it impossible not to get on that crazy waggon. I am sure the things I go through have happened to millions of people and I am pretty sure some have even happened to the same person. However, sometimes I wonder if I actually have a target hanging over my head. In neon colors and sound, screaming: "Here, here, here"
I look at myself and see a pretty down to earth girl that has learned a lot from her mistakes and pretty much don't get shocked with much anymore. Jaded? maybe a little, specially with the unusual I guess. I mean, you can only get flabergasted so many times before somethings just becomes normal...
I have been dumped a few times and I admit that the first time that it happened through txt message, email or even a message in a social network (orkut, facebook...), was a little shocking but I learned how to deal with it and even find it appropriate nowadays, IF it's a new relationship.
Now, finding out you have been dumped after almost 2 months by being deleted as friend on facebook and seeing that the other person has added "in a relationship with" someone else, when the day before you talked to the person and it all seemed ok... Now that is something that even me might find at least "interesting"...
Well, I needed to vent a little I guess. Life keeps throwing these nice surprises and all I can do is deal with it and move on. I am glad I have friends that are always by my side and support me whenever I need it...
I have many things I want to talk to you guys about that I cannot divide them in different posts :P
First and foremost, I am so happy for being here in this amazing country these past 2 years. They were a couple of the best years of my life. I met so many great people, I have been through so much here; good time, bad times, incredible times, nightmares and everything in between. I do not regrets and I feel I have learned so much from everything.
Thank you all you people that have been part of my life, people that were just passing through and people that showed up to stay... You have made my life better, you have made me a better person, and for that I will always be grateful :)
Thank you for you that always shows up here and allow yourself a few minutes to read my rants, please know that everything that I put up in this blog means the world to me :)
*Wipes away a couple stray tears...
Now, moving on to some laughter (hopefully)
Thursday night I went out with my girl Melina and a friend of hers from Costa Rica... A few beers and some vodka later we decide we should make a telenovela (soap opera)... well, at least the opening for it anyways... hehe!
So, we get to it and after my master editing and directing (ham ham! :P) this is the result:
Thanks to Melina and Maurice for playing along and for providing so much fun :)
I stole this meme one from a the blog of an author I really enjoy (Carrie Vaughn): Don’t take too long to think about it. Fifteen books you’ve read that will always stick with you. First fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes.
In no specific order:
- He is just not that into you (Greg Behrendt & Liz Tuccillo) - The Killing Dance (Laurell K. Hamilton) - Why didn't they ask Evans (Agatha Christie) - Curtain (Agatha Christie) - Twilight (Stephanie Meyer) - Eclipse ((Stephanie Meyer) - New Moon (Stephanie Meyer) - Breaking Dawn (Stephanie Meyer) - Shadow Kissed (Richelle Mead) - Iron Kissed (Patricia Briggs) - Lover Avenged (J.R.Ward) - HP and the Deathly Hallows (J.K.Rowling) - HP and the Prisioner of Azkaban (J.K.Rowling) - The Return of the King (Tolkien) - The DaVinci Code (Dan Brown)
Ok guys, that's it from now... Thanks for stopping by... and stay tuned a lot more to come... soon
and a big release from the blog during this summer... you can't miss it!!!!!
I am not going to come up with an excuse to not write here for this long, I simply felt I had nothing to say and was not ready to share the things I did.
I have a few things on my mind and I wanted to talk about them... I mean, rant about them is more like it :P
There is a phenomenon that occurs when you are involved in a relationship that I would like to discuss. I had heard about it from friends, but since it had been such a long time since I was in one, I had yet to experience it first hand.
I am going to name said phenomena as: "The wedding ring phenomena"
What's up with all these people that decide you are suddenly so very compelling the exact moment you find yourself in a monogamous relationship?
I mean, I kind of get that happening a lot to married men. Single women tend to gravitate towards them for the simple fact that since they are already in a committed relationship, they MUST be relationship material.
I said I KIND OF got it, not that I remotely agreed with it though. I mean, I know how hard the dating world/game is, but setting your sights on married men/women is never healthy.
Now, what about the weirdest part of this phenomenon? I mean, you don't really need a wedding ring for it to happen, that is just the name of it. You find yourself in a monogamous relationship and out of the sudden all of these people come out of the woodwork interested in you. Seriously, what's up with that?
Is there some sort of vibe a person exults by being in a couple? Is the attitude of nonchalance (usually, cheaters excluded) that attracts?
What about when these people that "appear" out of the blue are people you haven't seen in long while and out of nowhere they get to calling you?
Ok, time to get personal. I am asking this because I am actually trying to understand it. Currently I find myself in a monogamous relationship, very happy for that matter and these past almost two months, I have been hit on a few times (even by people I would never thought would), an ex has invited me to dinner and another ex has invited me to visit...
I admit to being flattered, but what the hell is up with that? Seriously...
I don't have an answer; I really just wanted to rant on it...
Please leave comments on the subject, I really appreciate it :)
Ps: Today is my 2-year aniversary in Israel... A post about it is coming soon...
Wow... that is such a corny title, but I like it :P
Purim was a couple days ago and with came the time to dress up in costumes and party like there is no tomorrow (Im pretty sure that is NOT how the bible explained it, but that's how I see it lol)
I love costumes parties and I was just thinking about the criteria we use to chose our costumes...
For the past 4 years I have been dressing up as a vampire for Purim and/or Halloween... Everytime someone asks me why, I respond saying that those are the only nights of the year that I can be myself...
Though I have to admit I don't mean that literaly, there is some truth to that... Whenever we come to a point that we need to chose a costume, we dig deep within ourselves and sometimes let out hidden characteristics of our personalities...
One might argue that since I am addicted to vampire novels (I plan to write about that soon), dressing up as one would be the next step... However, the point we should focus on is WHY I am addicted in these novels in the first place...
I LOVE the night, I have always felt more at home beneath the stars... I'm weird in a way, I feel like I don't fit in with what most people call "normal"... not that it bothers me, but it's true... Vampires are outsider s by nature and that's how I have always felt... I connect with them in a deeper level and to be quite honest blood doesn't taste bad (not that I have tasted any other than my own, by accident) and I love bitting :P
I promise I'm not trying to freak anyone out... but this is my platform and I'll make use of it as I please :P
If you could have the costume of your dreams, what would that be???
