Beautiful typography by Abbey Sy. =)

First of all, I apologize for posting this sooo late! But I personally think this is such a gorgeous idea, a big thank you to Ali from Aliology for tagging me! I won't spend a lot of time explaining the whole tag, but you can head over HERE (I find the need to scream that) to read Ali's explanation (which is honestly better that whatever I can come up with). To sum up things, basically, you are tagged to post Christmas-y things for 12 days within December. I am very excited for this because one, I LOVE December and two, I LOVE Christmas even more! So, join me and let us do this wonderful tag!

Seeing as it is a bit too late to tag specific people as the second week of December just rolled in, I'm just going to tag all of you reading this right this moment! I truly, truly apologize for being such a failure with all these tags. =((( I hope you will still join in even though this is posted so late. :< I'll be pestering people to do this tag as well to kinda redeem myself. =)

DAY ONE of this tag will be up tomorrow. Can't wait to read yours as well! Leave me a link down on the comments below and I'll get reading! Ta-ta for now! =D

(((Also, a side note, I was COMPLETELY unaware that my previous Monday blog posts failed to actually be posted, so guess who's getting three consecutive annoying words from meee? Yooouu!)))))

A Letter to the Boy on Stage

Monday, December 08, 2014 1 Comments A+ a-



As you sing the last lines of the song everyone's heard on the television, radio, and all over the internet, hundreds and hundreds of girls scream your name - including me. You close your eyes and softly, so softly sing the last words. The crowd goes silent and I knew. I knew they were all falling in love with you all over again just like I was. You open your eyes and smile as you scan the stadium. I've seen that smile thousands of times on posters plastered around the walls of my room, on billboards I pass on the way to school, on social media websites I visit daily - that smile was so familiar. Yet at this exact moment there is something entirely different about it. I see the passion reflected in them. You were also falling in love. But not with me. You were falling in love with everyone and everything at that exact moment. You genuinely loved what you were doing; performing, regardless of everything that was happening outside of that stadium. Inside, your dreams were happening. And with that, the dreams of a million other girls are also being fulfilled.

I look at you and I see a boy with pure talent and so much passion. I see a boy who could change people's lives by just doing what they do best. I see a boy who is in love. I'm just a face in the crowd, barely visible from where you are. To you, I'm just one of the many - millions, even - of other girls. Little do you know that you mean more than the world to me. The impact you had on my life is unbelievable. It's weird though, isn't it? How millions and millions of girls all over the world cling to the hope that one day, you might see them as something beyond a fan, a girl who you deserve and could deserve you.


I'd like to cling on to that hope too, if you don't mind.

This is a bit crappy as I wrote this on the bus ride home when I was really tired, but inspired. There's a huuge possibility that I'll rewrite this someday and tweak a few things to make it better. But, yeah, here it is for now and I hope you liked it! =)


NOVEMBER FAVORITES!

Monday, December 08, 2014 0 Comments A+ a-

Hola amazing people of ze blogoverse! This post is supposedly for last last monday, but for some reason, it failed to post. So here it is! I added a few other stuff amd decided to post it today as well. As you may or may not have noticed, this is the very first time in the history of the Sempiternal Reader blog that I am posting an "Insert Month Here Favorites"! November and December are two of my most favorite months, so I decided to make a month favorites list solely for the two! Now, this isn't much like the usual favorites list where it's either a list of make-up (which I have NO idea how to properly appy) or clothes (which I am probably too poor to buy), this favorites list is basically about everything I loved this month, so weyhey, let's get the ball rolling!



1.  NaNoWriMo
NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month. Every November, writers all over the world come together to take the challenge of finishing a 50,000-word novel. It's fun and crazy and here's a look at my stats this year:
I didn't win, but hey I had fun and I'm pretty proud of that word count. =D

2. Five Nights at Freddy's 2 and Outlast
I have absolutely no idea how I got into horror games all of a sudden as I am a very... *cowardly* person. But, I honestly loved these games (okay maybe not the latter)! FNaF2 is a jumpscare game where basically you work in this pizza place where robot thingies (called animatronics, I think) roam around at night to kill you. It requires heck a lot of strategy too. This game is playable with the lights off, I suppose. Or at least I did. Now, Outlast, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT PLAY THIS IN THE DARK. A summary of how I feel about this game: (Re-using Daniel Howell's statement about Slender Man) Producers of this game should provide diapers along with the game.



3. CrashCourse
I found myself crying in the middle of the night trying oh so hard to get the writings on my textbook to transfer to my ever refusing brain. And I stumbled upon *drumrolls* CrashCourse! **Huzzah!** CrashCourse is basically a Youtube channel run by 1/2 of the vlogbrothers, Hank Green. He explains a lot of stuff from Bipolarity to Politics and Islam in separate short meaty videos.



4. "Thrilla in Manila" by Greyson Chance
I swear I have listened to this song way too many times! It's so different from the old (or young, I suppose) Greyson Chance, and although I love that Greyson very much (hey throwback to Grey singing Papparazi on Ellen!), I am also in love with the Greyson right now! I am honestly very excited to hear the entirety of Planet X. It's been so long since I've tuned in to Greyson and I miss him sooo much!



5. Four
One Direction's new album, Four! Who doesn't love this? Come on. Even if you don't love 1D, you can't deny it's a good **great** album! My current fave tracks are Fireproof, Night Changes, and Fool's Gold. What about you, loves?



6. Geometry Dash and GTA V
This game (Geom Dash) is the most frustrating yet enteraining game yet. I love the music and the challenge as well!

I may or may not have lost my GTA V photo of the game and Los Santos map. Will put it up as soon as I find it in my heap of photos =(((((((((((((((((

Totally a big leap for me (GTA V) since I'm used to Pokémon and Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing, but GTA V was absolutely AMAZEBALLS! You could take selfies! Play Tennis! And a lot other stuff I am too lazy to narrate! A vid of my brother and I's gameplay is up on our gaming channel right here, so check that out if you're interested!

7. Merlin, Gotham, Tokyo Ghoul, and Doctor Who!  
THESE ARE ALL AMAZING TV SHOWS AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU GIVE EACH ONE A CHANCE =D

HERE'S A MERLIN BLOOPER REEL FOR YA'LL! =D SUPER MEGA THANKS TO THE MAKER/COMPILER!

Aaaand that concludes my faves! I'm very excited to hear from you guys too! So if you have anything to say, anything at all (except maybe Dr Who Series 8 spoilers), type it down on the comments below and let's chat! Bye bye for now!
