Just a Random Blog

Blog Post 8

Welcome back everyone!

I just gotta address a few thing before I move onto the main point of this blog. Firstly, I found out that my sister's been reading my work, so yeah. I don't really know why I had to tell you guys that, but I just wanted to. Secondly, I just discovered a new feature on Spotify. If you right click on a playlist, it has a feature called 'Create similar playlist'. This creates a whole new playlist with songs you may like. 

Finally, I have a new book out! It's called Ungoddessly, and it's got some of my new favourite characters of all time. Plus I have some great twists put in that I think you'll love.

Ok. Now that that's finished, let's talk about video games and fans. Weird topics, I know Callie. Just hear me out.

Video games are really fun. I love them, you love them (right?), we all love them. But sometimes their mechanics can be really confusing. Let me name a few examples:

1. What is it with water killing you? As far as I know (which is pretty far considering I'm always swimming), water IS NOT ACID. Water IS NOT LAVA. Water IS NOT TOXIC WASTE. I'm not going to explode into light if I stay hydrated.

Solution: Make it acid, lava, toxic waste and/or full of sharks

2. Why the hell are there kids and teens doing stupid crap like handling missile launchers. Unless it's specifically for the sake of the plot like in Callie's Caves (which I figured out is actually Cally's Caves, whoops), I'm gonna call child services.

Solution: Dude, just make them adults

3. Why TF is there always weapons and random resources lying around. Like why can you open the trunk of a car and there's a roast turkey just chilling there? IT'S NOT REALISTIC!!

Solution: Have supermarkets and specific stores for that stuff.

Okay thanks for hearing me out. Let's move onto fans. 

What is a fan? According to google:

fan1fan/nounnoun: fan; plural noun: fans an apparatus with rotating blades that creates a current of air for cooling or ventilation."a couple of ceiling fans, lazily turning"
"his living room had a couple of ceiling fans"

Well thanks dude, that's not the type of fan I was looking for. Ahhh...here we are:

fan2fan/nounnoun: fan; plural noun: fans a person who has a strong interest in or admiration for a particular person or thing."football fans"

Yeah google, that's what I was looking for. And yeah people, that's what a fan is. This definition is not 'a person who jumps on the bandwagon who pretends to love them and listen to their songs, while only listening to the most popular one'.

Yeah fake fans, I'm looking at you.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm okay with people who only listen to one song. I do it quite a bit. Just don't say you're a super fan who's in love with everything they do. For example, if you say you're a Panic! fan, but only listen to Death of a Bachelor, then you're a Death of a Bachelor fan. Don't try to act like you freaking love them. Because you don't. End of story.

Okay, one last note: I'm really sorry for not publishing in ages. I've been having a writer's block but something massive just happened to me that has kicked me out of my funk which the next blog post will be about. I also have some crazy stories from a camp I went to that sound so ridiculous that I wouldn't be surprised if you thought I was lying.

Random thought of the blog:  

Video games teach you so much in life.

QOTB:

Do you know any fake fans?
