The Mark of Athena

If you've been reading this blog for a while you probably know that around the beginning of last year I read the entire Percy Jackson series. So I've decided to finally read the latest book that I keep postponing to read, but let me tell you, it's not that I don't like it anymore, it's just that it's not the same to read it apart from the rest of the series because you lose all the excitement and small details you normally remember.

But apart from my reading habits I have to tell you that this was my first week at college. And I'm going to be honest, I was super scared!!! Not from the courses and stuff like that but from social relationships but thankfully everything went okay. I already know a lot of new cool people and the classes are going ok. Although I feel a little sleep-deprived and I feel like I haven't listened to music or watched a movie in a long time.... But before college started I was listening to this music.







They are kind of an unusual combination of songs but I was listening a lot of post-punk, new wave, dark wave and goth that day. If you want to hear the whole playlist you can find it below:



I've been meaning to write a blog post about my favorite music in 2012 but I always seem to forget and suddenly it's already the middle of January, but I promise I will! Meanwhile it seems there is a lot of music I have to listen but not enough time. And that is without mentioning all the homework and reading I have to do for college...

Post-Beach and College

I think it was really good to go to the beach for some days before starting college. I would have been a lot more stressed otherwise. And I'm still kind of stressed but now I have a great tan, not that I care that much about tans haha. But you could say I spent all the time swimming, getting tanned, eating, sleeping or reading, so you could say it was pretty good. I don't have that much photos because I was so relaxed that I didn't even remember to take photos. Of course, there are a few but they're nothing compared to how much I could've taken.

Like you can notice all of them are from the sunset and not me but it's just that it was my first time seeing a sunset in the sea so just suck it!

These were my favourite songs during the past few days:

Bonafield Lovin - Chromeo


När Solen Går Ner - Aki ft. Kapten Röd


So Perfekt - Casper


Bleeding Out - Imagine Dragons


Forrest Gump - Frank Ocean

I know some of these songs are old but it's just that I haven't taken the trouble to download them before... But another one that is in my head and I know that probably everybody knows it now is this one!

Hair Day

Today was such a crazy day... It was good at times and then it became totally crazy!!!
It started with me looking for a good hair salon. When I found it I cut my hair. It turned out pretty good and I was in such a good mood that I decided to go shopping for cute clothes. Some hours later I decided to dyw my hair and therefore change its color. It was total disaster!!!! The bleaching part turned out pretty bad. And so I learned to trust myself instead of selfish unhelpful bastards.

After that I fixed my hair in the dying part. Yay! ^^
This is the result. I would like to write more but I'm exausted and I would like to go and eat ribs.

New Music

I just had an amazing revelation! Some years ago I used to download new songs and listen to them wheter they were good or not later in my ipod. But as time went on I started to listen to them on large playlists online and decide if they were good or not before downloading. But I think I lost the excitement and anticipation I got of not knowing wheter they were good. But I decided to do it again! Right now I'm listening to it and I've got great finds!

New clothes

From now on I intend to write more about my life, but of course I'll keep on writing about books, manga, movies and music. I feel that now that I'm using tumblr so much this will be a place to post more personal stuff. So with that said I really have to show you some great stuff I bought today.

And some gifts I received. I'll probably use the clothes at the beach. ^^

Nounai Poison Berry

Sorry I haven't posted lately but I have just lacked inspiration. To describe this more clearly I'll just tell you that I haven't listened music AT ALL for the past month!!! Of course I listen to background music but I haven't listened to any new music on purpose. The past month seems like a blur of family reunions, Christmas food and endless movie marathons. And I haven't even watched recent movies, No! I have been watching old movies just so that I don't have to go through all the trouble of finding PG-13 movies for my parents that are ultra-religious. But it's not that bad... I have watched a lot of great movies, like ALL the Audrey Hepburn movies or The Godfather trilogy. (Honestly I have enjoyed watching old movies, in fact, I was the one with the initiative of watching old movies that have won oscars like Amadeus that I read about in a book I just read called Tell The Wolves I'm Home). That's without mentioning that I've been watching all the Jane Austen movies ever made! haha.. but not all, mostly I select the versions with pretty actresses. hehe

So the lack of inspiration includes manga, so that's why I haven't read much manga lately (probably just the releases that I crave like Crepuscule, Beelzebub, Heroine Shikkaku and Aoharaido).

But tonight I got my inspiration back by this manga:

It's called Nounai Poison Berry and it's about a girl that has a student council inside her head that decide everything she does. But it's absolutely hilarious!! the members of the student council just crack me up in their indecisiveness relating love matters. haha But the guy she likes is absolutely adorable, although sometimes I'm just so mad at him for lacking initiative!

The graphics are so-so and I think I have read another work by the same mangaka. Sometimes I like the graphics of the girls but the ones of the boys put me off, but the comedy definitely makes up for it. I'll try to read more manga now.

But it's just a matter of days before I begin college and I just realized that I'll have to join a lot of extra activities. And the number of day to do basic stuff are even shorter because I'll go to the beach for some days. But before that I have to cut and dye my hair again, buy clothes, buy basic stuff for college etc. So it seems like my freedom is coming to an end....

But it seems like I already wrote a lot! so I'll write more tomorrow. If you miss me you can check out my TUMBLR!!! I'm thinking of starting a new blog, but not a blog blog, I want to write something similar to the cellphone novels the asian people write. It'll probably be combined with cute photos but I'm still thinking it through.
