The Absurdity of Being a Fangirl

-
The time has finally arrived for me to post my first videolog. It has long been overdue but I am excited to share it with y'all. Before you watch the video I have a confession to make, I am a fangirl. Now that is off my chest I can explain to y'all what possessed me do this video. For a long time I thought I was the only one who had these all consuming feelings for fictional characters. When I discovered Tumblr last year, I realized that not only was I not alone but there were hundreds of people who were more crazed than I was. It was a refreshing feeling. I have decided to do a video about the dilemmas that happens when you are a fangirl. It is a bit tongue in cheek. Below you will find terms that I will be using in the video. These are terms that average person will not understand, so I have created a little cheat sheet for y'all. Let me know what you think about my video log. If you like it there is a good chance that this will be the first of many.
  • Fangirl: Is a female fan who is obsessed with television show, film, book or actor. They usually are hard core fan of a particular character or SHIP
  • SHIP: Is a shorten form for romantic relationship. To ship means that you endorse a romantic relationship. In other words you are rooting for these two characters to end up together. 
  • OTP: Stands for one true pairing. An OTP is used to describe a couple that the fandom ships hardcore. 
  • MY BODY IS READY: is a phrase used to humorously convey one's excitement or anticipation for an event or desirable object 
  • I'M IN A GLASS CASE OF EMOTIONS:  Originated from the cult classic Anchorman. It is used by fangirls to describe when they are experiencing very hurtful or terrifying feelings and are unable to escape them.

Few months ago I posted my first Feminist Wednesday video. Feminist Wednesday is a day I celebrate a female artist who makes me proud to be a female. Today I am celebrating the magnificent P!nk. My word when I think I can't love P!nk anymore than I do, she goes and does this. Can we talk for a minute about her flawless performance at this year's AMA. That is how you perform live folks. Here for your viewing pleasure is the powerful video for her second single off The   Truth about Love.

Moving on, starting fresh

I DID IT! I graduated college! All the sleepless nights, pulling of the hair and crying myself to sleep have paid off, I now have my college diploma. Now that I have ended one successful chapter in my life I am looking forward to embarking on the next one. I am looking forward to igniting the flame inside of me and turning it into a full blown bonfire. I am not sure what the future holds but I cannot wait to find out. When I was five I never thought I was going to live in Tunisia or Mozambique for that matter. I never would have imagined that if I put my mind to it I could study abroad in Australia nor did i think I would go to college in upstate New York. I have done so pretty much amazing things but I still want to do more. I want to see the world, get touched spiritually and emotionally by incredible individuals, hopefully bring joy to all of those around me, laugh more, cry less, regret less, write more, cook more and live each day to its fullest. In effort to start anew I have d

Which is kind of interesting because it has nothing to do with the themes that were brought up in the film. If you have not watched My Own Private Idaho , I suggest that you check it out. It is hauntingly beautiful and River Phoenix is such a beautiful soul. Anyways, back to the topic of my post. I was thinking about how beautiful Keanu Reeves looked in the movie and how he could seriously get it. Jokingly I said to myself that "he doesn't even need to ask". Then a light bulb went off in my head. What exactly was I insinuating by that remark. Was I suggesting that because he was so attractive he does not need to ask for my permission to have sexual relations with me? After much thought, I realized that was what I was suggesting. As someone who considers themselves to be a feminist, this revelation hit me like a ton of bricks. I was completely
