   Entry #6: What time is it?  Hi guys, welcome back :) I hope everyone had a great Halloweekend! I'm a major homebody, so I didn't do much... I actually didn't do anything. I swear it's like I'm allergic to leaving my house, but still, super excited for halloween!  Anyways, back to the blog. Do you guys ever think about where you'll be 10 years from now? I'm not sure how many of you use snapchat, but do you guys every get those "2, 3, 4, 5+ years ago" notifications that show you what you were doing years ago on that very day? Those random notifications always give me the most unexpected wakeup calls. Every time I see what I was doing years ago, I always think about how I never expected myself to be where I am now. Crazy how time works. It just keeps passing regardless of what's going on. It has no mercy for anyone, and doesn't pause or stop under any circumstances. Insane, right? My mother used to always tell me that "time waits for n...

 Entry #5: Mayhem Hi guys, welcome back! :) This week, we're going to analyze some ads, this is the ad I chose ↑ so let's get started!  For starters, I definitely feel like the author wanted the audience to feel a some form of anxiety, and then relief immediately after. The ad begins with a man saying he's your cat, and then beginning to act as if he genuinely was; he smacks his owners hand, drops toys on his face, and even turned the tap on and left it. As someone with a cat, I feel like this is a pretty accurate example of how cats act. I remember one time, my cat (Nova and/or Lunar) started the dishwasher and had it running the entire time I was gone. Another time, one of em' clawed my silk curtains to SHREDS. The most recent time, Lunar left 2 dead birds sitting on my doorstep. Yep, that was a fun one. I know he meant well, but still😷 But anyways, back to the ad. The man then leaves the tap on for the rest of the video. At this point, you can pretty much suspect wh...

Blog Entry #4: Tis the season!  Hey guys! :) It's officially holiday season and can I just be the first that SO excited! I know when people hear the term 'tis the season', they automatically think of Christmas. But when I say tis the season, I'm talking about everyday between now, and January 1st.  It's no secret that we've officially entered the most wonderful time of the year (again, not specifically a Christmas reference), and this is not up for debate. From October 1st - January 2nd, we're ALL at our happiest! The other horror-lovers and I get to relish in the spooky season; Pumpkins, Coraline, haunted houses, horror movies, Coraline, corn mazes, costumes, caramel apples, Coraline, ghost stories, spiced drinks, bonfires, trick-or-treating, and did I mention Coraline?? Halloween is arguably the best holiday ever! I mean, just watch these videos. There's no way they didn't just ignite a fire in your heart!  The best part about this time of year is ...

  Entry #3: A Rather Chilling Experience  The moment it touched my tongue, a chilling sensation began creeping up my back, this intense icy-cold uproar started stinging the back of my throat, a calm freshness began tickling my tastebuds, a crisp breeze outlined my face, a sweet flavor began melting on my tongue, all while goosebumps began to cover my arms.  You know that feeling you get when you're watching a horror movie, and you just know there's about to be a jump-scare? You're just sitting in front of the TV, shivering in your blanket, body hairs standing up all over, waiting in anticipation. Yeah, kind of taste like that at first. Like that chill you get when you know something's about to jump out at you, but that's the part you love the most.  It's like you feel your muscles tighten, but in the best way possible. Super cold, but in the most refreshing way, you know? Not like a 'Oh My God, it's so cold get me out of here' feeling, more like when...
