We're studying the French Revolution in my World History and it was sooo bloody! I had no idea! Before we started studying it I thought it was some war like the American Revolution but the French people went insane! They would kill anyone by guillotine who made the smallest comment against the French Revolution at one point, it was called the Reign of Terror. Everyone was constantly fighting and killing eachother... just so much violence.. I am SO glad I did not live back then in France. Just plain scary..
Random Thing about the Guillotine: The guillotine was the method used to execute people during the Revolution. The reason they used it was because they wanted a cleaner, quicker way to kill people, so the guillotine came into the picture. There were studies that the guillotine doesn't kill you right away though, apparently heads can possibly stay alive for a few seconds or minute or something and react to a slap or their eyes focus.. but it could just be random muscle spasms since the head was disconnected from the body.. but if you are alive for a few seconds.. that must suck.. or be a weird feeling, I don't know.

Treadmill Dancing
This something I would definitely do in my freetime if I had six treadmills!! That's look's so fun! :D
A Quick Thought About Spirits
Ok, so I shared this once with a friend, and she thought it was pretty interesting, so I thought I share it here. Ok, so I was thinking, since I believe in God, well I've been having doubts lately but I'm still leaning toward believing. Anyway, if there's Heaven, hell, Purgatory, What happens to all the earth bound spirits that people keep claiming they've seen. You know the people on shows like, A Haunting, The Haunted, etc. (if they're telling the truth that is) What if being earth bound as a spirit is purgatory? It's just something I came up with once and I've been wondering...

Cinderella: The Play
On Sunday I saw the play version of Cinderella and it was pretty good. I'd say maybe even better than the movie, (mainly because they made cinderella take responsibility for her own life before the fairy godmother did the whole, dress, pumpkin and mice thing. Sets a better example for kids than the prince just falling in love with her because of her being in a dress etc.) But the one thing that bugged me... is their singing. I mean it's not that they sang bad... well kind of.. they could sing in tune it's just that there's a difference between real vibrato and fake vibrato... They were doing the fake kind.. just shaking in their throats (I don't know how to describe it) but it was REALLY annoying, I couldn't listen to them.. well cinderella got better as the play went on but the prince... just, NO. Also... the romantic parts were REALLY CHEESY I COULDN'T BEAR TO WATCH IT. For example the worst line in the entire play by the prince, "Then are you dreaming I'm about to kiss you right now?" *kiss* UGH.
My favorite parts in the play was the two step sisters, Joy and Grace. THEY WERE HILARIOUS!! And I found out Joy was played by a guy, lmao! I also loved the horses with attitude! When the mice were changed into horses (guys in horse head things) they did this head-swing-back-thing-with-one-leg-up and just made me think "horses with attitude" I don't know why I just loved it! hehe :)
But overall the story was nice, the characters well done, the king and queen were funny too! and yeah that's about it. Mysia saw it with me too, along with a group of friends, maybe she'll post her own review of the play soon!

Inuyasha!!
Here I am getting all sad that Inuyasha is over and I just remembered... THERE'S STILL FOUR INUYASHA MOVIES!!! 
I am watching the second one right now, just finished the first!!
What I'm Thankful For
Ok, so Thanksgiving is coming up, so I decided to make a blog post about the things I'm thankful for, by the way, not all of the things I'm going to list off are exactly in an order of what I favor more, just the first one is.
1. Family: Ok, to be honest, I don't want to put them as number one.. but in the end that's where they are even though I don't always want to admit it, (I'm not on the best terms with some of them right now) but without them, I wouldn't be where I am today. With their guidance and love I got through a lot of tough parts in my life.
2. Friends: "Friends are the family we choose for ourselves" This is SO true for me, I feel that most of my friendships that I have are REALLY SUPER CLOSE, I can trust them with anything! At least, most of the time, we all have our ups and downs, we're human :) but you get what I mean (The one that I can always trust NO MATTER WHAT is Mysia!! :D)
3. Pets: I LOVE MY PETS SOOOO MUCH!!! especially my dog, Misia, We've had her since I was about four, and she's 12 now, I just love her so much I can't even describe it! I don't know what I'm going to do without her one day... and my hedgehog Szyszka! I've had her since last year and I adore her too! and same with Tatooni (I didn't name him..) the fish! I can't grow as attached to a fish.. but I still love him all the same! 
4. Life: I'm definitely thankful for the chance to live life! and I'm thankful about how good it is, because I know I'm really privileged compared to some people in the world. :(
5. Opportunities: I am thankful for the fact that I have a chance to go to school, get into a good college, able to go to fun activities, etc.
6. Just Everything!! :) : Well honestly I could go on with this list forever, so overall, I'm thankful for everything in my life!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Comment on my past dumb rants, Inuyasha, and awesome quote
So I haven't posted for awhile and there's a couple of things I want to talk about..
1. Do you ever get the "Why was I so stupid feeling?" when you look back at past things you wrote?? Well I just did, this blog was meant for me and my friend to think up of more meaningful or random stuff on our mind to write about but the past blogs I've written were really dumb rants.. I need to stop doing that
2. I just finished watching Inuyasha, the first 167 episodes and The Final Act, SO AMAZING I LOVE IT SOOOO MUCH!!! I grew to love all the characters, (well mainly the good ones) I really wish there were a 100 more episodes or something, There were some episodes that were unbelievably good, and really touching I have actually cried a bunch from this show lol. (Possible Spoiler alert) I really love the close relationships, friendships, etc. everyone forms throughout the series, Kikyo's death, even though it was really sad, was a really amazing episode, it was so good, and I could list off a bunch of other episodes I really liked (like Sesshomaru's pain over Rin's death but his happiness when she was brought back) but that would take waaayyy to long. :) Overall, most amazing show ever! (Besides Avatar: The Last Airbender, but I got over my obsession with that show hehe) When I get home from school I'm going to re-watch my favorite episodes! (Expect a possibly long Inuyasha post soon) By the way, I actually used to have a crush on Inuyasha when I was a little kid lol :)
3. I don't know if I ever mentioned this, but there's this quote by John Lennon that I REALLY love, "When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy.’ They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life." I really want to live by this, because in the end that's what I really want to. I don't care how much money I make, what job I get (well I want a job that I enjoy but any job) as long as I have all my close friendships, family, pets, willingness to help others, etc., I'll be content with life.
