Sherlock Season 4

     If you watch the BBC show Sherlock or you know someone who does, then you would know that we have to wait about a year or more for one season to come out. The actors on the show also do movies so they get busy, therefore makes us wait more than a year for a season. I love BBC, I love most of the shows that they have. BBC owns Doctor Who, Luther, Merlin, and Sherlock. I also hate the some of the BBC writers, Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss to be exact. They kill off characters that you would never want to die and if they are lucky they come back to life or they don't. They write great episodes and created amazing shows but sometimes they do some questionable things. Anyways, I'm rambling, we have been waiting for Sherlock season 4 to come out for like two years. It finally came out but I didn't have time to watch it on tv when it aired, so I had to wait months for it to come out on Netflix. I think it went on Netflix on May 15.
     I watched like six episodes on the weekend, I rewatched three episodes from season 3, so I spent around 6 hours of my life watching Sherlock. I don't regret it because man did a lot happen. I would summarize what happened but in the first episodes but you would have to watched season 1, 2, and 3. I don't want to spoil it for you but let's just say that Sherlock has his susbstance abuse problems again  and a new person is introduced to us. I just had to write this post because Sherlock is one of my favorite shows and I would recommend this show to anyone who like detective shows and sociopaths. The episodes are about an hour long and they aren't for everyone because it can be boring for some people.

My Summer Plans

     Summer is right around the corner and it's normal for people to have summer plans. My summer usually consists of me staying up until 3 in the morning and not waking up until after 11. I watch lots and lots of YouTube and Netflix. Even though I'm an athletic person, I don't really go out and play sports. This summer is going to be different, hopefully.
     Last summer, we found out that my aunt was going to get married. Not very surprising or phenomenal, people get married all the time. The one thing that caught my eye was the location she was getting married at, Key Largo, Florida. I have never been to Florida so this was very exciting for me. My mom told the that if we were to go to Florida, she would want us to go to Disney World. She said that it has been a dream of hers to take her kids to Disney World, and I have always wanted to go as well. So, Disney World is on the agenda, another thing that is also on the agenda is to go to Miami. I personally just want to go to Miami to go to the beach and do water related activities that I have never had the chance to do before. This trip is something that we aren't for sure is going to happen but hopefully it does, because it would make great picture for Snapchat and Instagram.
      If this trip doesn't happen, then I have a backup plan. Last year, my family got the membership for Six Flags. That means that I can go to Six Flags as many times I want, and my parents just have to pay a monthly fee. It is similar to the season pass but you don't have to give the money all at once. I would recommend it to those whose families like to go to Six Flags and enjoy it. This membership doesn't just work for Six Flags Great America, you are able to go to whichever Six Flags in the nation. I've never had the season pass so I don't know if you are able to go to all the Six Flags parks as well. Anyway, that is what I am planning to do this summer.

Lord of the Flies Book Review

     This year in my ELA class we read a whole class book. This book was Lord of the Flies by William Golding. Honestly, this book isn't for everyone. It is about a group of boys, who are around 12 and younger, who get there plane crashed on an unknown island during a war. There are no adults who survived and these kids have to survive until they, and if they get rescued. The boys go through a lot, like loss of some of their members, the hard job to just survive, surviving each other, and the island. Some say that this book is a representation of humanity. Do I agree with that? More or less, people who read this book have different opinions.
      I thought the book was good but not great. It was interesting but I wouldn't put it in my ultimate favorites list. It took a couple of chapters for the real action to happen, so if you aren't even the slightest bit of patient then I don't suggest this book. I would recommend this book to a person who likes survival books and wants to see how someone else thinks of humanity. There isn't a lot of people I would specifically tell to read this book, so I'm telling everyone. This book is a classic and isn't very long. If you're looking for another book to read try this one. At the end, all books don't work for everyone.




A New Show I'm Watching

     A couple of days I ago, I decided to watch a new show on Netflix. I already knew about this show because an actor who is in another show I love is in it. This show is called DC Legends of Tomorrow. The main reason I started watching it was because of Arthur Darvill, who also happened to be in Doctor Who. He is like the main character in this new show.
     DC Legends of Tomorrow is about this guy named Rip Hunter who has a ship that can travel through time and space. He lives in the year 2166 and has decided to go back in time to 2016 to recruit a team that will help him kill someone. This someone is immortal and over the years has done things that in the future will give him power of the world. The reason why this guy is so important is because in 2166 he takes over the planet and kills Rip's family. That is a little bit about the show, if you want to know more go watch the show on Netflix, the CW app, or Hulu.
       I'm not much of a DC fan but I must say, I enjoy watching this show. Every since I started watching Doctor Who, I have loved anything that had to do with traveling through time and space. In this show they do go to different eras but at the same time you learn more about the characters. I binged watched the first season on Netflix in one day. I would suggest this show to anyone who likes shows like Doctor Who, likes DC, and enjoys superheroes, this show is basically a mix of all of these.

The Amazing People I Call My Children

     In a previous post I talked about my children, specifically one. I gave a briefly summarized why I called him my son but I decided that it would be fun to talk more about my children. So, for those who didn't read that post here is the link because you might enjoy reading that one too.
     Not so long ago, after I found the great world of fandoms, I fell in love with the actors/actresses of those who in were in the show or movie. I quickly realized that many of these people were twice my age and would be a little a weird if I called one of them by boyfriend/husband (typical fangirl). My cousin, who is another fangirl, told me that she called some celebrities her children. That is where I got the idea of naming these amazing people my children. Some people do find it weird because they are a lot older than me. I don't care though because I am already weird, maybe a little crazy, so who cares.
     I have a lot of children but one of my goals in life is to meet at least one of them. I am going to give a list of all of them. Let's start: Sebastian Stan, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Lucky Blue Smith, Jensen Ackles, Jared Padelecki, Misha Collins, Martin Freeman, Bradley James, Colin Morgan, Arthur Danville, Karen Gillan, Matt Smith, David Tennant, Tom Holland, and Chadwick Boseman. This blog may have not been interesting for some but I was very fun to write about and the picture below will probably have nothing to do with this blog.

My First Encounters With Fandoms

     So, today I decided to write a post more personal. I pretty sure when people think of something personal, they might think of like family, something important, or something that happened to them that affected them greatly. In my case, something personal are my fandoms. Fandoms to me are like a second family. They are full of people who like the same things as you and just understand the way you are. I don't think I would be the same person I am today without my beloved fandoms. Now let's move on to the rest of the blog post. Okay that was little weird but we're going to roll with it.
     I recall the first time I figured out what fandoms where was when I was like 8, I'm not completely sure but all I know when One Direction was a thing but not a huge thing yet. Yes, just like millions of girls(and boys) around the world who would kill to just meet one of them. I'm going to be honest, I was a huge Directioner, like gigantic. Now I'm not going to bore you with the reasons of why I was a big Directioner but the point is that basically my first fandom, if you exclude Barney from when I was like 5.
     My top faves or the ones I associate more with are Doctor Who, Supernatural, Sherlock, and everything Marvel. Now that I think about it, Power Rangers might have been the first fandom I was in but I didn't know what fandoms were. Growing up I loved the Power Rangers, like I was obsessed. I watched the original Power Rangers, Jungle Fury, Samurai, all of them. I liked them so much that I told my friends that I was secretly a Power Ranger. I still say I am, but they were my thing. I never liked Disney Princesses until I was older but I still watched all the movies.
     Now that you know how I first encountered fandoms, I am going to tell you all the fandoms that I am a part of now. Here we go: Doctor Who, Supernatural, Sherlock, Marvel Comics, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Cinematic Universe Television Series, Merlin, Star Trek, Fall Out Boy, Hamilton, Wicked, Legally Blonde:The Musical, Heathers, Spring Awakening, Little Mix, Gilmore Girls, Power Rangers, and Shameless. Those are all of the ones that I could think of but I think there are more, but I don't know how many there are to be honest. I like watching a lot of different youtubers but I don't think you can consider those fandoms. I wish I could say more but I don't want to make this blog extremely long. I am still going to make more blog posts on my fandoms and the celebrities I consider my children.

My Spring Break & Fourth Quarter Expectations

     Last week, we had spring break. To be honest, I didn't really do anything besides sleeping and watching Netflix. To summarize everything I watched on, it's basically all the shows that are from Marvel. I only left my house like twice, one was to go to one of friend's house and the other was an outing with my family. Even though I didn't leave my house, I had fun being lazy all day. Overall, I think I had fun on my spring break.
     Now that you know what happened over spring break, now to the more exciting part, graduation. When ever someone says graduation, I automatically think of summer break and no school. Now that spring break is over we are in fourth quarter. In my mind, in fourth quarter we just relax and don't really do much. It could be different but over the years it has been the same. I'm excited for fourth quarter because we have Six Flags, dinner dance, and the main event graduation. For fourth quarter, I want to have no fouls, pass all my focus areas with an 8 or higher, and end the school year with good grades. I also expect the rest of the school year to be fun because we won't be coming to this school next year or ever again.
