Life Starts Now
This blog is run by a nerd who likes fictional characters more than real people. My name is Gio and I love books, music, film, and strive to one day be a critic. What you'll find here is mostly just the disorganized spewing of my random and geeked out thoughts with seldom reblogs to keep things interesting.
Shinedown and Three Days Grace are my babies, I love to write, and I have a really bad obsession with Avatar the Last Airbender. Pleased to meet you :D
"We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are."
You're so far down. But you will survive this somehow because life starts now.

I made a site

http://gionavasm.wix.com/cineleaks

It’s a subdomain because
1) I’m too cheap to spend $12 on a real one
2) I have completely forgotten how to html so if I were to design this crap myself, it would look more disgusting than the CEO of Abercrombie and Fitch’s face.

Basically, since I’m graduating and I won’t be writing for the Viper Vibe anymore, I wanted a place where I could still write about entertainment. So I made this.

The site consists of:

Reviews (films, books, music, events, tv)
Recaps (TV)
News (And by news I mean updates on upcoming movies, books, albums, tv shows, etc. Not celebrity gossip or celebrity life. That’s dumb and I will not succumb to that.) 

Right now, my logo is totally a nugget of Ace and Penelope (basically, my Silverviolin icon) so it looks crappy but I’ll do something with it later. XD

I don’t know. Tell me what you think? :D

I’m a douchebag

So Claudia tells me, “Gio, texting you is like Russian Roulette because you’ll respond 1 out of 8 times and that 1 time will be about something pointless.” 

And she responds with this screencap as proof

Like, how do I even respond to this?

I’ve got to say

I really like the Divergent fandom.

Like, I like the fandom more than I like the actual reading. (They’re good books, don’t get me wrong. But I’m not really obsessed with them like I am with other books.)

You guys are so funny. I genuinely laugh at a lot of your jokes. And you’re all really nice. I never really see anyone bullying anyone else. And that doesn’t often happen in fandom. 

Like I know the Potter fandom can get really intense sometimes. And I know there are some assholes in the TMI/TID fandom that make us all look like assholes (even though most of us just cry about our books and stay out of the way. But there are some bad apples ;__;) And same deal with Hunger Games. 

But, I don’t know. Divergent is really nice. I like you guys. And I love your posts. I reblog so many of them (on silverviolin) that it seems as if I’m an obsessive member of the fandom. You guys are just really funny ;__;

I hate myself

I was staying after school and I got like distractingly hungry. And I got a headache and I was like, “Fuuuckkk, I can’t work like this” so I bought a granola bar from the vending machine.

I can’t eat grain/carbs. 

So, like, I killed my diet today.

I’m doing great.

ravenclawdia:

my school has been taking steps to beautify the building and so far this has included like obama murals in the social studies wing and cleaning up the school pond and stuff right and that’s all well and good

but then for some reason they’ve decided to turn the science hallway into what i can only describe as a forest of fucking nightmares

I’m inspired

So my English teacher has a published novel. Like, an actual fictional novel. 

And I’m like, “Well if he can do it SO CAN I.”

And I literally mean that in the best way ever. It’s kind of like when this kid I went to school with got on Glee. I was like, “He’s a real person! And now he’s famous! I can get a record deal if I want to!” 

I mean, my English teacher is a real person. And I’m a real person. So if that real person can do it, why can’t I do it?

I mean, yeah, my writing kind of sucks at the moment. But, like, when it’s better. 

I love my definition of “real person” DX

I straightened my hair today, so Brent and I took a selfie.

We’re my BroTP too. 

I felt this was worth documenting since I literally comb my hair like once every six months. And it’s gotten kind of long. XD

My friends were complimenting me and it felt strange because I feel like they actually meant it and they weren’t just saying I looked pretty to make me feel good. Because that’s what usually happens. XD

I felt pretty today.

I rarely do. But I did today. 

Score for a day without complete self loathing. We’re going places .__.

You guys know how I can name the 50 states in alphabetical order?

Well that’s not good enough for me.

I have decided to evolve.

I am going to name all the countries of the world. First, I’m going to do it by continent. Then, I’m going to alphabetize the whole sucker. 

I’ve started with Europe and I’ve got the A countries down. 

Albania, Andorra, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan. 

I just realized that it would probably be a better idea just to learn the entire world alphabetically from the start…

Blah. Fuck it. I like a challenge.

The Catching Fire poster

It’s gorgeous!

I’m not sure how I feel about the tagline, but I get why they didn’t do the “fire is catching” one because that’s Mockingjay, no? (Is it? I don’t remember. I haven’t picked up these books in a while. DX)

I like the sublety of it, too. How she’s standing on the highest peak of the cliff. Standing above everything. Because she’s the leader of the rebellion and all. And that’s primarily what this book is about. Katniss’s role in the rebellion. 

It’s subtle enough not to be in your face, but simple enough that anyone can grasp it. 

It looks good. I am pleased.

I went through all that to retake my senior photo

And they used the ugly one in the yearbook anyways.

Assholes.

I wasted so much time for that too.

Speaking of ugly photos, we took our editor photos today for lit mag and I realized how hideous I was times 50. Holy crap. 

It looked as if someone rubbed a balloon against my head.

I’m so pretty, man. Clearly.
