So anyways.. here's my list! Not sure if it's unusual, I'm sure most people do it but then again, I'm not sure if they do so I'll just write along the lines of my definition of "usual" and unusual".
1. Listen to the song by Zedd featuring Hayley Williams, "Stay The Night".

4. Switch on my laptop and leave it there until it dies.
5. Be late to class but walk really really fast with a fake emergency scenario in my head that requires me to walk for my life.
6. Skip breakfast and then, tell everyone that I am hungry for the next 4 hours.
7. Stand under the shower head for at least 15 minutes when I'm showering
8. Tell myself that I will do sit ups and I don't.
9. Trick myself into thinking that I charged my phone when I didn't.
10. Watch documentaries on everything
11. Laugh at really lame jokes
12. Watch spoken poetry videos till I sleep
13. Sit in my room in complete silence and scroll on tumblr
14. Tell myself that I'm not hungry when my stomach is growling
15. Look at my poster of Paramore
16. Sit at my desk for a while and then, lie on my bed with my laptop

tumblr musings #7
“I am nothing. I’m like someone who’s been thrown into the ocean at night, floating all alone. I reach out, but no one is there. I call out, but no one answers. I have no connection to anything.”

tumblr musings #6: friendships
“I no longer have the energy for meaningless friendships, forced interactions or unnecessary conversations. If we don’t vibrate on the same frequency there’s just no reason for us to waste our time. I’d rather have no one and wait for substance than to not feel someone and fake the funk.”

Glee S05E05 "The End of Twerk" Review! SPOILERS!
1. First of all, kudos to Alex Newell's acting in this episode.
His performance swept me off my feet, down the stairs, out the door and up a tree!
Newell plays a male-to-female trans on Glee. In this episode, his character, Wayne "Unique" Adams, gets bullied for using the little boys room. Newell also performed the song Beyonce's "If I were a boy" after being harassed by three jocks in the toilet. I felt chills over and over again during his whole performance. He KILLED it! Again, his acting in this scene was heartbreakingly sincere! His interpretation of the song was perfect for this situation. Even though this is acting but you can see that every lyric that poured from his mouth comes from somewhere deeper in him.
"Unique" later explained to Glee teacher-in-charge, Mr. Will Schuester, that she doesn't feel comfortable using the boys bathroom. Mr Schuester told her to come to him "when nature calls" so that he can open the door of the faculty's bathroom for her. Sue Sylvester who is principle witnessed this and approached Mr Schuester to make a deal.
Unique gets a copy of the faculty's bathroom key and Glee club stops twerking. Yes, they were twerking. I'll get to that later.
2. Marley and Jake's relationship: No more?
The two newcomer lovebirds from season 4 who we've grown to love and root for. Jake cheated on Marley with Bree *pronounced it like Kitty does in the 4th episode* and then, Bree rubbed it in Marley's face.
So who is Bree? She first appeared in the 1st episode "Love, Love, Love" as a cheerleader and she is the "black cheerio" that was made head cheerleader in the 2nd episode "Tina in the Sky with Diamonds" by Sue tobring down *ahem* motivate the Glee Club. She's such a bitch though.

Maybe now Ryder(L) has a chance?
So who is Bree? She first appeared in the 1st episode "Love, Love, Love" as a cheerleader and she is the "black cheerio" that was made head cheerleader in the 2nd episode "Tina in the Sky with Diamonds" by Sue to
This is the exact moment when she is promoted after being caught by Coach Roz Washington for pulling a prank on Tina-Cohen Chang during Prom.
Melissa Benoist who plays the sweetheart, Marley Rose, did an amazing job in the scene where she confronted Jake about his affair with Jake. That part where she begged Jake that it's not real and the quiver in her voice when she said, "..especially with h-h-her." Even though we know that Jake really did cheat on her with Bree but at that moment, I was screaming at my laptop at him to say no for her sake.
Then, she performed the ever-famous "Wrecking Ball", I give it 2 out of 5 stars. I was disappointed by her performance. It was supposed to be devastating, it was supposed to be heartbreaking when she performed it because her boyfriend cheated on her. I didn't feel it. It lacked emotions, emotions that suited the situation. She is no doubt an amazing singer bu it was not one of her best performances. To be honest, I was half expecting the hammer licking LOL
ANYWAY!
Even her outfit is very "Marley-inspired".
This picture shows anguish Marley rather than heartbroken Marley.

Are they REALLY over? I guess we have to stay tune to find out.
p/s I really hate Bree now.
And did you see the ending scene of the episode? Everyone is huddled in a group, except for the both of them. Marley's in front and Jake is behind her (somewhat?) and you can just sense drama in the next episode.
Will it be like a Quinn-Finn-Puck thing?
Will the whole club be affected like last time?
Hmm, maybe if it does happen, it will bring everyone closer...?
Food for thought ;)

3. Old Glee is back?
Unique's situation gave the New Directions a chance to be true to what the club was about in the first place. Mr Schuester gave up the chances of twerking at Nationals (I think..?) so that Unique gets the key to the faculty bathroom. The last scene in this episode is one of the best portrayal of what Glee is really about.
Their cover of The Royal Concept's "On Our Way" is for me is one of the best songs that they ever performed as the new New Direction. It is similar as "This Is A New Year" in Season 4's episode 12 "Naked". It is "old school Glee, upbeat, optimistic, full of youth and hope", quoted from this episode.
Now they are a team, they have each other backs, singing songs that give us hope like the old New Directions.
Will they be going in this direction or will they take a turn down to another town? I hope not, unless if it's somewhere better!
5. On Rachel and Kurt's tattoos
Somehow our two favorite "Gravity" singers/best friends have decided to get tattoos. And we learn that their impulsiveness is due to coping with Finn's death. I am happy to see that Finn is not completely abandoned and he is in some ways remembered, especially by ex-fiance, Rachel who got a tattoo of "Finn" with an "i" dotted with a heart.
I think their story lines are in many ways appropriate and relevant. This episode doesn't focus much on them but I think that the main thing for them this episode is them getting back up on their after losing their brother/fiance.
I would love to see how this goes. We are so proud for Rachel and so excited to see Kurt's new band! I forgot the band's name though..
Till next week, Gleeks!

Quicksand.
I was sad today.
I don't know why, I never do.
But I'm just sad, like it hurts to breathe but I know I need to stay alive so I breathe harder. Then, I was breathing so hard that my lungs start to ache. So, I stopped trying.
This feels like quicksand. Yeah, that's exactly how it feels. You struggle to breathe at first, then when it slowly buries you, you stop trying.

Greater than.
“who taught you
that the
value of a woman
is the ratio
of her waist
to her hips
and the circumference
of her buttocks
and the volume
of her lips?
Your math
is
dangerously wrong.
Her value
is
nothing less
than
infinite.”

tumblr musings #5
“It is terrifying to think that one day you will trust somebody enough to let them see you naked. You will undress and remind them that you’ve stretch marks and birth marks and scars from having chicken pox when you were little and scars from all of the other things now. You will blush thousands of shades of red, painting yourself as a rose losing its petals. And that person - that person will take it all in. And I wonder if they will reassure you. But mostly, I wonder if they will even see anything worth reassuring you about. I hope they see each freckle on your back as if it’s a star and you are the whole universe to them.”

This secret love affair
"What is this secret love affair?", she asked me.
She was soft and I was a nervous wreck on the other side of the table. I feel her slowly watch me like she was afraid that she would miss something important if he blinked. I sense her emotions mirroring mine and then, the atmosphere changed. Her lips hushed my unspoken fears of every kind. Her gaze gently stroked the soft angles of my smirk that curl the side of my mouth. Unable to hold back the smirk, it blossomed into a smile and I just started laughing. It was loud, joyful, free and comfortable.
She too smiled, and asked me, "Why the sudden laughter?" She let me laugh at my own little joke and just sat there patiently, enjoying my silliness. When I couldn't stop laughing, she joined in too. "This is good," I tell myself, "She's comfortable with me." We stopped when both our sides are aching. I could sense her gaze on me when I was silently smiling at myself. She had this big smile on her face when I look up.
