Some Things I Am Thankful For...

  1. my life
  2. God
  3. my mom and dad
  4. Lauren and Simone
  5. my friends
  6. being glad that school is officially out after 16 entire years of doing nothing but sit in silence with something new to learn
  7. college (which is why I love to go and experience more stuff than ever before)
  8. my house (I only have a few years left to move out)
  9. my single life and Love Quest (I'm looking for significant others of same interest and I only have a few more years of being single and a virgin left until marriage IRL!)
  10. my inner life of shadhardblogger
  11. money (I did not know I was officially rich due to me growing up autistic, and not only am I really broke while looking for physical coins and cash, but there will be more grants, scholarships, internships, SSI and more, including paychecks from the real jobs.)
  12. my pet dog Zellie for twelve years and counting, but am sorry for the other dog Dakota who passed on nearly two months earlier
  13. some writing as ministry (I know in my past experience, I wrote tons of drafts physically and sometimes digitally before coming to the blog - most of them are made out of Old Shame, but the first official thing in forever to be published and to update new content biweekly is Time Bomb. I pretty much enjoyed it because the first and only arc completed after 13 chapters of posting in six weeks is about finding true love as unexpected from the times unknown. Originally for NaNoWriMo 2015, I decided to go for Grey Petals, a coming-of-age story because it's about Blake and Alexa understanding each other's problems to court gradually. The new publication date will be on June 10, 2016. For the changes of date, Freya will be switched back to undetermined to reduce the stress and rush for Christmas 2015. Moving on to Where It All Began, I decided that this could be ministry writing, but I practically won't shove religion down anybody's throats because it's officially creative expositional writing, focused on the book of Genesis from my perspective and looking back on what I've observed through my life. Social Justice of the Holy Spirit? I think I will hold on to it for the next few months, or even years because my brain could come up with the idea for the purpose on what SJotHS should look like.)
  14. books (I know I have tons to read, but life is short.)
  15. the blog (Yay! This website is officially two years and three months old since it was created.)
  16. amazon.com (I have 120 things to order, but I'll take my time on whatever I spend on.)
  17. etsy.com (I currently have 11 things to order, but I'm not sure if I have an etsy gift card physically or not... Oh well!)
  18. music (it really means a lot to me)
  19. autism (I am proud of it!)
  20. the business to build

#prayforparis

We know that this past weekend, it was one flash point memory the French had ever known by far. The coordinated terrorist attack happened - at least 129 lives are lost. I am not surprised... I forgot what I did on that day - homework, fun and now what? Do I really have to post the flag pic?


Yup, got it done! Check.

And now, a moment of silence.

. . .

Thank you for a quickie post!

What to Do with the Rest of Fall Quarter of 2015?

In just a few more weeks until I'm done with the first quarter for realsies (not the medical model from last year), I need to know how I should be able to get my final projects coming along.

We'll just wait and see what I've been up to at this time.

10 Quick Tips About The High School Musical Remake in the Making of All Fanfiction

1. use stereotypes
2. go up into so many levels, it can attract to teenagers and young adults
3. try for a few twists
4. use copyrighted songs you know and love (all of the original sources are (c) Disney - which is lazy, try for the songs when growing up & fav. genre (e.g. 2000s emo/"goffik" rock))
5. don't get too cheesy
6. don't be a ballet dancing prep (it's distracting)
7. make detention the authoritarian leadership type more than that
8. do remake a cast (all of it is 100% true and more accurate than ever before)
9. this is very serious like it's not Disney Channel anymore (make some innocent and overprotected parents feel enraged with sex, drugs and heavy metal like you really mean it for a future banned book and badfic combined into one masterpiece classic)
10. Have fun! :)

Happy Birthday Nevada! Trick-or-Treat?

Yes, folks. Did you know Las Vegas is right at the tippity south end of the state? Well, you probably know that by mental map. It's been 151 years since the date of statehood, and it produces more gold and silver than every other state. Do you know Carson City, not Vegas is the capitol? It was nicknamed the Silver State. Anything other than that? Well, here's the PRECIOUS material to view.

Lion Brand Yarn 135-170 Hometown USA Yarn, Las Vegas Gold
This is Las Vegas Gold from Lion Brand Yarns. It came with Hometown USA, so if you want to buy it, just go to the fabric store or do it online. Hope you have a great and safe Halloween. Sorry, it's one day late. My bad, but oh well!

How To Solve The Biggest Problems With Fanfiction

Here's how:
  1. Do your research on your fandom.
  2. Check your spelling and grammar.
  3. Use your imagination.
  4. No Mary-Sues/Gary-Stus (unless you are a cool prep)
  5. When fans see you, they should give you writing advice and not to flame!
  6. Be sure to use the fan rated rating system and category, and don't forget to use it properly. (e.g. Time Bomb is the AU fanfic with original characters and characters from such merchandises.)
  7. Don't make the Author's Notes too extremely long such as Link's Queen with My Inner Life for example. Keep it short and simple like "Hey! I am going to study for a long time, so have fun."
  8. If you want to really write, just write and don't worry about the errors until the end.
  9. Do NOT post NSFW for dA or fanfiction.net, or else they will remove it and you will not know what the rules mean.
  10. Be careful not to make fictional characters OOC, but rather document traits and stay in character plus canon.
What do you think of my suggestions so far, you guys? Don't you just love it?!

#seeamazing

This morning, we find out that Sesame Street had officially opened an autism education campaign on the news. Hopefully, my kids will be able to see Julia because the Henderson company had added her to the community. Julia is autistic, so she might be the friend and will represent those who were autistic, for future generations should treat them with respect, especially in grown-ups with autism. Some chances are they may be more than likely to appreciate the works on both fiction (the real way), fanfiction and nonfiction about the lives of the autistic. Chris-chan, for example, did Sonichu and after 5 years of trolls, he came back for Etsy. If you would like a new page, you can digitally donate $10 and he'll add you to the dedication page. Unfortunately, you get one chance on three issues, so he claimed he'll hit 50-100 issues of the saga of infamousy.

In my perspective, I would like to give you some support... the bazaar sale is coming soon on December 6, so if you're interested in the hats I've made, you're welcome to buy it so I can make money to take my time for whatever happens the most. Let me know what you think in the comments below, or if you have little kids, go to sesamestreet.org/autism for more information.

Listening: The Chronicles of Life and Death (full album) by GC
Reading: Dog Sense by John Bradshaw (just two more chapters left to go); (for over the weekend, in which I'm planning to read) Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou; (to be finished) Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld

Countdown to Opening Night of The Force Awakens: 56 Days

What are my plans for the rest of the week?

This is the schedule I figured it out (no dates in particular order):

  • homework
  • do Life Journal (if time spares for the remainder of days)
  • knit more hats (wrap-up the red thick yarn and start on Chenile!Forest adult hat, connect the ends to homespun!Cherry Blossom and homespun!Ocean yarns, throw in Chenile!Stone yarn on the adult hat loom)
  • finish Dog Sense
  • continue Where It All Began
  • do read banned books over the weekend for review (finish Prep)
  • print out the first 16 pages of my comic adaptation
That's all I have to know how to beat the clock!

Here's one song I didn't forget to think about from this past year, enjoy:


Hope you enjoyed it? Have a great rest of the week!

What Will Stuff Be Like In 100 Years?

It gets newer and more electronically digital than you think, but we'll never know. God only cares about the future ahead of today, and He only knows when is the Second Coming by the exact moment the world could be either for the better or for the worst.

RIP Dakota

April 2, 2006 - October 4, 2015
Time of Death: 4:23 P.M. PST

This morning, Dakota (the yellow lab retriever) was fine, but by midmorning, she's having a seizure, so we prayed and... we tried! It's no use... I'm sorry about her last day of her life. She would've been alive on that day. Man, how I miss her. *sniffle*

I remember like it was yesterday, back in eighth grade, Dakota came on Lauren's 12th birthday to be the newest member of our family, but now, she's gone and over with. I remember feeding her apple cores when I'm done with the apple and I remember her massive farts. I still remember her barking and howling, and she was a good buddy of Zellie (age 12 if you don't know her - her birthday is October 2, 2003, and she's an English Springer Spaniel).

We used to go on the walks together and it was fun, and so do family vacations. I don't know what to remember, looking back, she sometimes misbehaved. Dakota will be missed, may she rest in peace.

Here's a photo of her while she was still alive:

I'm So Stressed and Depressed

Get it?

Note to self: drink your "invigorating elixir" aka Focus Vitamin Water (kiwi-strawberry) colored prep pink, so that way, you should read before class - please.

In the Night Kitchen Review

I've just read it out loud while recording it for YouTube because it's been part of Banned Books Week, and yes, to get people attracted to my upcoming web series, I have to do Season 0 aka the pilot season starting with this book. This reminded me of my very own childhood so much, I recently learned about the dedication page saying, "For Sadie and Philip". That was the author's parents because they were part of the Lost Generation or something. On the other hand, to make a children's book with a dedication page saying, "For David and Cammie", I guess they were boomers, for they are godly and were raised Catholic. I was born normal and a millenial, but then was diagnosed with autism at a young age in case you don't know me. I understand how this book was made is because the author Maurice Sendak took inspiration from the roaring '20s, mostly from Nemo. (No, not the fish y'all know of. The boy in bed!) I also learned way back in the early 20th century, Nemo was printed originally as comic strips. For example:

www.comicstriplibrary.org
See? Does that look antique to you? I wonder if Little Nemo in Slumberland is either in public domain, or is it copyrighted? From October 5, 1905 - July 23, 1911, Little Nemo in Slumberland was first published under New York Herald. It was renamed to The Land of Wonderful Dreams and ran under New York American from 1911 - July 26, 1914. When the original creator is back to the Herald, the title was switched back to normal and for the last time, it ran from August 3, 1924 to December 26, 1926. Little Nemo definitely is the public domain character since January 2005 in the EU.

I have yet to watch the anime film of Little Nemo for the review afterwards.

Now, onto the story.

It all starts with Mickey waking up to the thump of something. He shouted, "Quiet down there!" and then, he magically fell down into the night kitchen, even though he was all of the sudden at some point, near the beginning of the fall, the clothes were removed, exposing his heavenly naked body. In the night kitchen, he fell into the batter, and all of the bakers were chanting while stirring up until it's really smooth like icing. While they were about to something something something something I dunno, the grey smoke puffs up and Mickey goes off to save the day by making a dough airplane and flew to the milk bottle. Mickey dives down with the liquid measuring cup and he reached the surface to pour the milk into the batter. The bakers were very satisfied with the work of foodies. When morning comes, Mickey acted like a rooster and yes, he went back to bed, knowing it was all a dream. We could bake the morning cake every breakfast because we're bookworms!

The challenge: "The book upset many librarians and adults because its young protagonist, Mickey, was depicted in the nude. Many librarians censored the book by painting diapers over the boy’s genitals, and in some cases, the book was even burned."

In the 1990s, it was the number 21 in the 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of the Decade, but went down constantly to #24 in the 2000s.

I don't have to worry about diapers/shorts/jeans because I could see him being depicted naked as a child and I spotted him still today. It's still alive in my mind! Thank the LORD God for preserving it for future generations to come! These censors was, is and will be depressed.

The review: This book is such a classic and it's very good, some of you will know what went wrong when it comes to censorship. I guarantee you should check it out at your local library to discover what some of you were missing, and for your child(ren), explain why is it challenged with caution because the world's such a scary place to be, but safer in some locations where the freedom remains strong.

Friday Night Out

Dear online diary,
Today is what I've called it the TXT day of everything. I declare the national texting day as September 18 of every single year. I could tell you that the concert is worth having the fun of becoming more spiritually refreshed and you could see the dark lights, the music I've sometimes never heard before is what is fresh in my mind and also, we got to know each other before. So a 10/10 is probably the best night out ever... never had I been to a concert with my friends before, but oh well. I guess it's alright.

All of the Conflict Schedule Drama! (In Other Words: Fall Open House Gave Me the Time Management Issues)

Dear online diary,

Mother suggested that leadership class is a great idea to me to handle with, but Dad said I cannot go to leadership class until second or third year in college. I might not count for this school year or two, but I have to wait until I turn 21 in order to let it happen in a couple years. I have to accept work and school as if it were even, and not to be overweighed by whatever conflicts happen... clubs: always stressing me out and it took like forever to let the school year to end (which is crazy). I have to commit leadership on my own purpose to not only will the student affair requirement have to deny, but also, I will miss out on all of the college whatnot by itself. I already read "Secrets About Guys - Secrets That Shouldn't Be Secret" by Grace Dove before, and I have yet to read "Were You Raised by Wolves? And Seven Other Crucial Questions to Ask the One You Just Might Marry" by Toben Heim as part of my very own Love Quest reading curriculum.

In prior experience, I had enjoyed leadership classes in youth group for two courses in one year. I did not take any of the leadership classes in formal education, which it's okay. Not everybody gets to be the leader until the next generation or two rises. I do have to be responsible for the schedule, but let's say it should be a priority and not something that's left behind in the dust, so some 2-year old gets to throw in some crayons to doodle on the clean sheet of paper with boring blocks of text for business and let the parents feel stressed out, for they need to get a life by simply ordering adult coloring books from Amazon and reprint some text to store up high for the very next morning. My brain is just lazy to change plans... who cares about interest?! Nobody gets to be involved in any of the clubs. Thank God! They had their priorities straightened out because of homework, classes and stuff.

My plan for the future: I will start my very own blogger's club brought to you by banned and challenged books, bad fanfiction, the blogs and vlogs we love (e.g. Wagner Bunch, Vlog Brothers), and the infamous blog of all time: right here and right now! Everybody has to get involved by simply... let's say you sign up for Google, take Blogger as part of your day and literally do your blog by yourself on an often basis! Going to Blogger in Google for the first time is easy and nothing less.

Also, for the bloggers' club, we love to critique DCOMs starting from HSM and all the way up to Radio Rebel because these things are for preps and we are not all girly useless. We're equal, MCR rocks and we love to react to stuff online. Other than that, thank pop culture (btw, Ms. America) for the suggestions for the continuation of the plot for Time Bomb. And I am all ready to see Miss World livestream on desktop mode by December 19, 2015 (if you don't have cable)! I will be prepared to watch every single Hannah Montana, every single Toddlers & Tiaras and every single 19 Kids and Counting ever made in order all-in-one. As I have yet to critique the entire HSM trilogy, I still want to critique Spy Kids: The Complete Saga (because I'm not looking forward to the fourth installment - thank the LORD, I did not get to see this after all of these last four years, for I am too old for the 2000s gadgets galore from the one and only Mr. Roger Rodriguez!). I better have the three lists of episodes prepared for checking it all off by black pen for simply printing off of the Internet, just so to get on with it until the end. Oh, surprises are surprises. Don't you just love to be like a true shadhardblogger? You don't have to be the next Tara Way!

You guys have an awesome, splendid, amazing, superb, extraordinary day, night, weekend, whatever happens at anytime and anywhere for you and I'll talk to you in the next post. Kudos! :)
