Genius Book Reading lists

Hello, all.

I am not dead.

Or a zombie.

Or a vampire. (Although that would be cool.)

Or a ghosts.

Or any other supernatural dead/undead creature.

I've just been zoned out. I'm sorry I ignored you! :'(

Anyway, I got a deviantArt account!! :D

Also check out Infublo and my Shelfari friend Daria.

Well, what's new... Been living on Shelfari. Reading a bunch of cool new books.

Probably my last post for another while, before I go out of the country for two weeks.

It's with school, so I think I can post a link to our blog... See if you can spot my posts! (If it doesn't need a password.)

So, you know how iTunes has Genius to make playlists and suggest songs?

I want to do that with books.

EX: If you like this book, then you should read these books!

You know, right?

When I post some you'll get the hang of it.

All for now.

Cheerio, peeps!

YOUTUBE UPLOAD!!

Well, sorry I haven't posted in a while. I keep getting distracted. And happy belated Thanksgiving.

Anyway, I have a YouTube account (ClaudariaMostri) and I uploaded my first video!!! :-D

This makes me happy.

Anyway, go to YouTube and watch it and comment, so that there won't only be the views from my cousin and me. Thank you!

And another astounding discovery; I no longer sound like a little kid when recorded!

This also makes me happy.

And my cousin got a new kitty named Tigerlily. (But everyone calls her Tilly.) She's so adorable and she loves to sleep in my lap.

I have nothing else to say right now. Except I'm really getting into Assassin, my newest manuscript.

Goodbye.

Cheerio, peeps!

@Lord_Voldemort7

Yes, I am still a Harry Potter fanatic. But that's not the point of this post.

(Another name for this post is Inspiration, but I like the one I chose instead.)

Over the summer, Liza told me to join Twitter. I honestly didn't care, but I joined anyway. I follow plenty of people, but I mainly only read HarryJPotterr's tweets

and Lord_Voldemort7's.

And... I like Lord Voldy. (It got too long to write Lord_Vold... Yeah. Too long.) I never thought I would, but I like Voldy. Admittedly, he's always ragging on celebs I hate, so I find him hilarious, but that's not the entire point of the post.

Lord Voldy is a bastard. I'll be the first to admit that. But I'm not going to tell him to go to hell, or anything else like that, like all the other idiots who'll write in all caps F*CK YOU. (I have been trying to keep my blogs clean, unlike my writing, but I feel strongly on this point, so I will say what I want, thanks.)

Inspiration is a surprising thing. There are places you would expect to find it, and places where you know (think) it would never be. But he's one of those people with the unexpected.

I can't decide what inspires me and what doesn't. I can't and won't make myself like something that I don't.

And I like Lord_Voldemort7.

You can say I'm an idiot for liking a role-player on Twitter, but I like him. I suppose by his standards I should be a Death Eater.

1.) I use and appreciate good grammer. I also don't like people writing like this; "lol! omg did u see tht hottie! omg!" and things like that. (Yes, I know I wrote OMG and LOL in my last post, but that was for artistic use and to make a point.)

2.) I laugh at his posts.

3.) I follow and frequently retweet him.

But I don't care.

READ THIS. This gave me a bigger self-esteem boost than almost anything I've read in my entire life. He is a bastard. Yes, he is. But he still inspires me.

Don't ask me why that inspired me, it just did. One of those things where some one like me goes out and makes people like them, and everyone else for that matter, take a nice, long look at themselves.

That's what I want to do with myself.

That's what I want to be when I grow up.

Read this too, while you're at it.

I suppose I answered my own question; why does he inspire me?

But I needed to write it like I did. Voldy always makes me think and that's good.

I know that no one else my age, certainly no one else in my grade, would spend their night without homework writing a post on inspiration, anti-bullying, and anti-hypocrisy, but that's who I am.

When I think of more things, and trust me, I will, this topic will be revisited in multiple ways.

Cheerio, peeps.

Sherlock, I love you!

Indeed. I am currently re-watching the BBC series Sherlock. I don't know why it wasn't on BBC America, but it was on PBS, so that was alright.
And I love you Sherlock!
I was reading some stuff about the man who plays Sherlock Holmes, Benedict Cumberbatch. Apparently, he wanted to be the Doctor on Doctor Who, and he would have been GREAT! But he didn't try out and Matt Smith got the part.
*Fangirl squeal* OMG, MATT SMITH!!! *Squeal*
Sorry.
LOL, Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock is HILARIOUS! And I can so see Sherlock being a texting addict. Along with everything else he was addicted to.
And he's such an idiot when he talks to girls. He is so funny!

Oh my God, I'm so insane. I am totally obsessed with BBC shows. And British people. But don't tell anyone!
Just the whole internet.
Haha. I'm so weird.

And if you're wondering why I'm writing this at one in the afternoon on a Tuesday, I'm sick at home for the second day in a row.

Anyway, two more things about Sherlock;
1.) So funny how everyone thinks that Sherlock and John are gay
2.) and I don't know if I said it before, but I recently read a series called Enola Holmes written by a woman named Nancy Springer. They're sort of for younger kids, a little bit, but they were brilliant. I highly suggest them. There are six in the series.

Cheerio, peeps!

P.S. Sherlock! :-D Heart.

Sunflower, Sunflower

Sunflower, sunflower

tell me your tale.

Your heart's made of bricks,

your soul left in jail.

Your spirit is broken,

your mind in thrall.

Sunflower, sunflower

tell me all.

The rain's not yet passed,

the sun waits by its tail.

Sunflower, sunflower

tell me your tale.

Inspired by looking at the cover of one of my leather journals. It has different flowers in a garden and the biggest one is a sort of gold-yellow sunflower.

Now my mom and I are going to go watch Letters to Juliet, which is an amazing movie!

Cheerio, peeps!

P.S. Watching A Very Potter Musical again for no particular reason. I love it!

And Infublo hopefully got a Mac today, just like me.

I don't care what people say, Apple RULES!

And I didn't have school today, and I won't again tomorrow. ;-)

Arrr! A Pirate Be I!

Welcome, one and all, to Ariella's musical theater!
This year's play shall be...
*Drum roll*

The Pirates of Penzance, Junior!
(I know it sucks, but my school always does the junior version of plays.)

Zev (A boy from school, whom I believe I've mentioned before...?) is an opera singer, and this is HIS play. He loves it. When we used to do talent shows at school, he always sang "I am a Pirate King."
It is now posted below, for your enjoyment.


Sorry the people are so weird looking.

Anyway... Well, not much else, really. Most of this year's teacher are pretty good. A few, who will not be named, are not so very good... (I would say more, but I know of one teacher specifically who reads this, although he isn't my teacher this year, and I don't want to get in trouble.)

Been doing a lot of writing, both on my new manuscript (Hooray, for the assassin! The government shall never catch her! No, I won't say anything else about it for now.) and editing Reborn.
I have been told by multiple people that I WILL be published, for real, not just self-publishing.
And that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy and glowy! :-D

Cheerio, peeps!

Snapshots

Unbeknownst to all, there is an old trunk in the attic. It has been undisturbed since 1944. It is full of the snapshots of life.

One is of children eating cotton candy at a carnival. Another is of a bride throwing her bouquet to her waiting friends. Snapshots of life.

Every picture is a moment, caught in a split second, the moment the holder's finger clicked the button. Since that time, some of the magic has been lost. Before you get the perfect moment, you position your camera, play with the buttons, pose the people.

There are very few snapshots of life left.

Back then, the impromptu photos were truly impromptu, no poses.

And in the attic, this box waits for the moment it will be found and dusted. Unlocked and opened. But until then, all it can do is pray that one day its' contents will be found and examined and used to once again create true snapshots of life.

Funny little story. I don't know if that whole thing about not posing photos back then is true, but it's sort of how I feel sometimes, being an amateur photographer. But I also like to position people anyway.

Cheerio, peeps.

Sugar and Glass

I live in a world

made of sugar and glass.

One loud step

and the walls fall en masse.

Sweet and clear

will never make my troubles disappear.

I live in world

made of sugar and glass.

Which is really a world

made of lies and of fear.

I tried to do some rhyming. I think it worked surprisingly well.

Okay, about the cooking blog, I promise we'll post tomorrow. We've got cookies, ice cream cake, chocolate and peanut butter rice crispies, turkey... what-ever-they're-called-s, and some other stuff.

PROMISE!!!

Well, workin' on some new things. I've got a romance/ghost story/murder mystery idea coming pretty well, and I'm still working on Assassin, so I should be able to keep pretty busy until I got back to Reborn.

Honestly, I'm a bit afraid to. Now, I know the writing in the beginning is pretty bad, but I'm cutting a whole character and moving her to be introduced in the second book, so that will take a LOT. I even have at least 2 chapters that she narrates!!

But if I must, I must.

I WILL GET THIS MANUSCRIPT PUBLISHED!!!!!

One of my teachers this year used to be an editor, so once I do the second draft, I'll give a copy to her, and some copies to a few other teachers, and let them edit for me, if they want to. Hopefully. After I have about 4 teachers AND my mom AND (hopefully) my book selling uncle (Maybe...) AND my friends AND a previously-published, soon-to-be again published author AND myself one more time, to make the 3rd draft, then I will hopefully be ready to BEGIN sending to agents.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Okay. I'm better now.

School started again. It's school. More tomorrow, or something. I have to go to be.

G'nignt, all.

Cheerio, peeps.

P.S. I did this cool thing where all the books I have in my bookshelves that I haven't read, I put yellow sticky notes on. I have started now trying to read all the marked books. I hope to finish before the end of the school year. Maybe not, but I'll try.

The Post of Shameless Self-Promotion

Uh-huh. This post is all about my amazing cake decorating abilities and my new team cooking blog with my mom. Oh yeah!

Below is the ice cream cake my mom and I baked, and I decorated, for a friend's baby shower. She used to baby sit me sometimes before she moved to Arizona! Very far from where I live, I can tell ya' that!

Here's the cake. It had already been in the freezer for a while, so it was starting to droop a bit.

The cake was chocolate chip with mint chocolate chip ice cream. The icing was home-made whipped cream and the colored icing was just sugar, water, and coloring (So, more sugar.)

It was based off the napkins below.

I even put a monkey on!

Isn't he cute?! :-)

Now, the blog my mom and I are doing is called Once Upon a Cookie Pan. I named it! You should check it out. Once I finish this post (So, it will already be up once you've read this.) I'll be writing a cookie recipe post. And tomorrow morning/afternoon we'll put up a recipe for the ice cream cake and the whipped cream. So, probably ditto to the above in parenthesis.

Well, that's enough of my ego for one night, then!

Watch out for tomorrow's birthday post!

Cheerio, peeps!

Stick Figures

A figure made of sticks and stones,

has no bones to break.

A figure made of sticks is wood

but not flesh and blood.

A person can't be made of sticks

but what if the answer is

yes.

If a stick figure is a person

what is the answer to that?

I haven't the faintest clue what that was. But I got inspiration from this poem.

Cheerio, peeps.

I am so tired that I forgot to name this post! Then I came back to fix it, and I couldn't even think of a clever title!

And really, whoever else reads this post and feels like doing this. 'Cuz I'm too dang tired to think of anyone else.

DISCLAIMER!!! Sorry, for all my weird cynicism/craziness tonight. I'm frickin' tired and I hit my arm on the kitchen table, got blisters from new shoes, cut myself shaving, and got clawed up by my cat, all within less than 24 hours of each other.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

'Night, all!

Cheerio, peeps!

Friday the 13th

Hooray! :-)

Screw the superstitions and let the curses begin! LOL.

I laugh at superstitions. I will gladly walk under ladders and I love black cats. Friday the 13th is fun. AND in the same month as my birthday!

Although, it would have been cool if Friday the 13th had been last August, when I turned 13. Oh, well.

And now you know how old I am.

And I found more of those Hogwarts blogs. (And my STUPID computer didn't think Hogwarts was a real word!!!!!!)

Gryffindor House

Ravenclaw House

Hufflepuff House

Slytherin House (Again. And still my favorite... God, I feel GUILTY!)

Explanation site

Cheerio, peeps!

P.S. 8 days till my birthday! Now I'm off to write more of my new manuscript. :-)

Alice in Wonderland and Slytherin House-The Marauders' Generation

Since I didn't want to use new shoes as my first design test, I'm going to use an old pair of purple Converse that I don't wear very often. I'm making them Alice in Wonderland themed.

Like the books, not any of the movies.

I'll have the daisy and wildflower, "We're all mad here" and the Cheshire cat, white and black chess pieces, "Curiouser and curiouser", a mirror, a rabbit, and some other stuff. If you don't know what some of that has to do with A in W, then read the books!

And now... Slytherin House, Marauders' generation.

Surprisingly entertaining. Even though I previously (And still kind of do...) hate pretty much everyone, I really like it. It's making them seem like people!

My favorite is HBP (Snape) and Regulus Black, but I've always loved him (Well, ever since I figured out AT THE END OF BOOK 6 that Regulus had destroyed Voldy's horcrux, anyway. I'm smarter than the characters-I figured it out RIGHT when I saw the initials! *Smirk*). Regulus' post are really kind of cute. :-)

Cheerio, peeps!

P.S. Birthday in 10 days!

And I did pretty good in yesterday's audition. Keep you fingers crossed!! :-)

Shoes

Yes, I did just call this post shoes.

But that is because I'll be making my own! :-D

When we were on our road trip, we went to Toronto. And in Toronto is one of the coolest museums ever. It's all about the history of shoes. So I got this REALLY, REALLY awesome book about people making designs on their own shoes and stuff.

As a birthday present to myself, I've decided to make a pair.

Today my mom and I are going to some craft stores to buy the stuff I'll need. And then later today, or sometime this week, we'll go find a pair of white Converse, and I'll possibly buy some different color laces, because just white would be boring!

And I'll wear them FOREVER! :-)

I'm also hoping that at school, people will like them. Maybe I can get some money out of it...?

I won't count on it, but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

It might work better when I'm in high school, though.

But I'm starting to need the money... O.O

Once I'm done, I'll post pictures, but I'll give you my ideas right now.

Right shoe: Kind of piratey/Goth/punk. (Yes, I DO mean pirates. They ROCK and invented the original skull and crossed bones, which will be on it.) There'll be music notes and lots of black and skulls and some cool stuff like that.

Left shoe: The other one is sort of fairy tale like. It will, of course, be minimal pink. I don't really like pink much... But there'll be purple and some flower doodles and some trees, maybe a crown. BUT the words 'once upon a time' will be on it, because they rock! :-)

Ooooh!!! Good idea!!!! I am brilliant! LOL.

Because I love to write, the other shoe will be central around 'it was a dark and stormy night!'

I am so smart!!!!!!

They will be the ultimate teen, punk, author shoes!

And they will be MINE!! ALL MINE!!!

MUWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

LOL! :-D

I'm happy, and, for no reason I can think of, slightly hyper!

:-)

Some time in September, I'm going to have a pre-Halloween party, with monster movies. Dracula and possibly Frankenstein, and MAYBE even Young Frankenstein.

My parents have some friends with this really big, blow up movie screen, that makes it sorta like a drive-in movie theater, so that is AWESOME. Gotta love the classics.

And for Halloween itself, even though it's on a Sunday, I'll invite some people over for a double sleep over. We can stay up really late on Saturday, and then we'll be tired after walking around all Sunday night, so we'll sleep, and then go to school in the morning.

Perfect plan!

My neighborhood ROCKS because Trick-Or-Treating is ALWAYS on Halloween NIGHT!!!

Most places just go on a weekend afternoon. We are so cool!

I ♥ Halloween!

And I am so hyper!

12 days until my birthday!

Tomorrow, I'm trying out for some plays with a monologue I wrote and "No Good Deed" from Wicked, which I saw last Wednesday for the THRID time. And I L-O-V-E it!!!!

I'm starting at 'What good is this chanting...' and end with the chorus, which is really fun to sing.

The monologue is from a previous camp, about a vampire with some problems controlling her charge, Benedict.

If I get published, look out for the second book! You'll meet Illiana and Benedict then!

Well, that's pretty much everything, then...

Cheerio, peeps!

Road Trip!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while.

Anyway, on Tuesday we're going on a road trip! Yay!

We're driving up through Canada to Massachusetts, to visit some family.

We'll see Toronto, Niagara Falls, my mom's college, and other stuff.

On the way back my mom and I still haven't figured out what we're going to see.

I have nothing else to say right now....

Oh, yeah. Very surprisingly, I quite love Twitter.

...

Um... 166 pages in my book now. 34 left until my goal!

...

Gosh, this is a seriously suckish post, isn't it?

What ever.

Cheerio, peeps!

I DO Believe in Fairies

I DO believe in fairies, I DO believe in fairies!

We saw a Peter Pan play last night. It was really, really good. And I've found another quote I want to stick somewhere in my book; "To die will be an awfully big adventure." I already have one from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
And I still need to read the book. It will be in my next batch of library holds.

We're coming home today... and I'm not sure what else there is to say.
I now have almost 120 pages in my book, so I'm doing quite well.

I got a letter from Infublo up at camp, and another friend of mine out there too. I'll be sending them care packages. Any suggestions on what to send? (No food allowed, though.)
Last year I sent her a pet rock and she wants another one, so I'll work on that tomorrow.

I'm also going to make sure I watch Toy Story tonight becasue I haven't watched it in FOREVER!
I need a new copy, though because I still have a VHS. I need a DVD of one and two. Two's my favorite.
But since I own one, I'll make the best of it and watch it tonight.

*Sigh...* I wish Peter Pan and Neverland were real...

I wish everyone all the luck on their way to finding Neverland.
Cheerio, peeps!

My Fashion Sense is Way Out of wHaCk

A new biography off me:

I know myself better than a lot of people think a newly turned teenager would.

And I'm so much more accepting of it.

I'm a strange person. Let's say that off the bat. Today I dyed my black hair with purple and red streaks.

My fashion sense is way out of WhAcK. I love a mixture of Punk, Emo/Goth, Smart-Kid, and Vintage. Converse are my favorite shoes. Some of my favorite brands are BP., Converse(Again.), and Rubbish.

I don't wear heels. They hurt my feet.

A lot of people say I'm an old soul. I believe them. Some people say I'm smarter than my age. I say, "Depends on what subject." I love big words.

When I grow up, I want to be an author. That's been my dream since 3rd grade. In 6th we got an assignment to write a story. Most people wrote 5-10 pages. I wrote 42.

I love words. But I suck at grammar. I also tend to dislike writing in full sentences. But I also don't use abbreviations when I text, and usually when I type.

I am a strange person.

I have two best friends. One is sometimes Goth, but I can never figure out whether or not she likes it when I say she is. She doesn't want to be labeled and I get that.

The other one is a real nut job. If you've read my work here before you've heard her write, and stories of her.

On this blog, her name is Infublo.

I'm a little American girl who wishes she was and feels like she is a Brit.

I use words like nutter and brilliant.

Fish and chips are one of my favorite foods, and I consider them to be a single entity.

In my book, British fantasy is its own genre.

Once upon a time is one of the best word combinations there is. Sometimes cliches are ok.

I am a strange person.

I have a very eclectic taste in shows.

I watch:

Doctor Who, NCIS, White Collar, Merlin, House, In Plain Sight, Warehouse 13, Leverage, Royal Pains, and many others.

I can read an approximately 300 page book in a day, with camp.

I love almost all animals.

I have a cat, but no siblings.

I am a strange person.

I want to live in England someday with a Ph.D. from Harvard.

I will gladly paint each of my walls a different color.

I love Mackenzie Child.

I love antiques and wrought iron and pillows and stuffed animals. Not the creepy ones, though. The fluffy ones.

Frank Lloyd Wright was a brilliant architect, even if he wasn't the greatest planner with wiring.

I love to travel. My family's from both sides of the country. I love Seattle, Washington, California, New York, London, and Saint Louis. Just some favorites.

I love different types of music.

I like rock and scream-o.

I love alternative and indie.

I have a strange fascination with Christian rock, even though I'm Jewish. Flyleaf is a favorite.

I am a very strange person.

Now do you believe me?

I told you I know myself better than you think.

Cheerio, peeps.
