Helping Internationally

As the majority of you have grown up with me for a while, you all know that I'm just a loving and understanding person who can't resist to help. There is a part of me that I feel is dedicated to the less fortune ones (of all species.) There isn't a day that goes by that I wish I could lend a hand. Picturing the faces of many after making a difference to them is amiable to me! 


Whether it's going green, or supporting pink, I'll be there! There are so many ways to help out right now, you can even start out yourself! If you're a singer or want to become a singer you can write songs to promote help like Shakira did in her new song "Waka Waka".


Or  how Matisyahu did in his song "One Day"


Or if you do any other kind of writing, put a message in their to stress help. You dont have to be right in front of someone to help out. Have you heard of  "Know Your Girls" ? Know Your Girls is something created by Yoplait yogurt to help save lives from BREAST CANCER. Everytime you buy a Yoplait, collect, rinse, and mail them off!


Visit the link above.

Do you love animals? Help your furry friends with ASPCA! Our loving companions don't even have a voice for theirselves. Be a voice for them and give them the life that they deserve! Wouldn't you want that too if you were them? Be a voice at ASPCA !

Cruelty's not the ONLY problem, see what's the racket!


I could go on about ways you could help such as buying these amazing bags:
(like this Wonder Woman one here)
that also come with your favorites like Elvis Presley, Wizard of OZ, Retail Therapy, Betty Boop, Barbie, Cowgirl, and yes even Marilyn Monroe. Each time you buy these wonderful bags you are helping out!


Help is needed world-wide not just in your state. I can't wait where I can donate alot of money, and travel to help! Like my cousin says, "The gift of touch is a wonderful thing". Anyone can have this gift. But right now, I just have to help out by things I can do close to home.

Gues what I'm listening to: WAKA WAKA! It just came on!

WAKA WAKA, people!

Please help and join me by helping others.
You could be a hero today, and a savior tomorrow!

Whispers In Your Sleep

Boy it has been a while since I "posted" a blog from here! Wouldn't you say? I have some very intriguing news to share with you all:
First off, I am hosting a contest that ends DECEMBER 1st!

CONTEST DETAILS:

Competing for- My new upcoming novel/screenplay based on a girls dream
come true- She wanted to be famous her whole life and now she is! But...
she got more than she asked for. What will it take for her to save her new life
where everyone knows everything about her?
Think of a pg-13 rated, deep, dark secret that the character locks in her heart.


RULES
Do NOT share what you submit with others
Do NOT use ideas from existing novels, movies, or any other media
Once you submit, it's final. No take-backs. It is your final submission.
1 submission/idea ONLY

WINNER
The winner will have his/her submission in the novel/screenplay
as well having their full name in the acknowledgement.

ENTERING
Send me your idea through a facebook message or email me

Second,  thing I want to share is I have changed my decission in my career.
Yes, yes! I know! Now don't go crazy on me. Just hear me out. I have a few more novels
I need to write. But....I have finally decided to switch my career into being a screenwriter. A screenwriter
writes scripts for movies.  If you want full detail I have a couple of websites for you:
Check out THE SALARY !

Now you guys, I'm not looking for a get-rich-quick job. No! Not at all. Writing is very serious to me.
The best way I can describe to all of you for why such a sudden change in heart is because....well....my heart! I do what my heart tells me to do. This whole week (even in my sleep) it was whispering "screenwriter. screenwriter. screenwriter." Like I said, I still have a few novels to do before I switch over to write screenplays. Or...will I just write those novel AS a screenplay? Hmm!


DONT FORGET to send me your idea for the contest! I'll be waiting!
Happy Holidays, everyone!

Unbearable Fall

If there is a big massive black hole that's going to suck us all up in the end...please do it now before my anger takes over my actions and I start acting like a freak of nature. Everytime I think something is going to work out perfectly, it doesn't! I was so anxious to get back on my schedule again this morning ( I only follow my schedule on week days) and go about my weekly walk with my dog Dino and sweat my buns off with the Wii fit. Oh, but no...I can't do that because I woke up sick!



With a throat so scratchy and soar, my nose is so stuffy that I feel like your stuffing on a Thanks Giving day sizzling on your fork. ....And then I pretend your mouth is that big massive black hole. Too bad I'm not a stuffing dinner. I had so much to do today. I even promised my mom that I would mop the floors for her! Hey....remember how the commercial says there's power in Pinesol...? If there is PLEASE HEAL ME! Now that would be "the power of Pinesol, baby!"


Now if I can try to get to better news instead of me complaining...that would be great! You'll have to excuse me if my subjects go bouncing all over the place, I'm very distracted right now.   First off, I would like to point out how thankful I am that I had a chance to go out and have fun the past two weeks before I got sick. That absolutely made things all the better. Hopefully my cold will go away before Friday. I have plans that day. A plan I promised that would happen. Another thing I promised that would happen is that I would use this awesome digitals scrap booking program my mom got for me as a gift not to long ago. It seemed fun! My laptop was being weird last night, so unfortunately, I did not get a chance to use that. (Again, big massive black hole suck me up.) One thing I DID  get to do is do some picture editing last night of a picture me and my best friend just took while I was at her house. I have been feeling so crafty, lately. I dont know why.



I think it's so cute! What do you guys think? I love Color Splash photos! 
Anyways, I have to get moving on the next subject so I can try to relax and have a cup of hot cocoa. I don't think I'll be able to work on Impostor untill I feel better. I have to have one. Hundred. Percent. Energy. And be able to focus clearly. I cant do any of that when I'm sick or grumpy. BUT one thing I can do is tell you where I got the inspiration to write Impostor! This is one of the thing I LOVE  sharing about my writings: where the inspiration comes from.  As you all know, by now, I am inspired to write by Meg Cabot. However.... my stories are inspired by something else. Meg just inspires me to never give up "on writing".  So what inspired me to write Impostor?  I was inspired to write Impostor by a series called "Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls." This series is written by Meg Cabot.



Is this book a book for kids? Yes. Now, just hold on a minute. I may not of read the series but what I did read about was how Meg got this series going, her inspiration to write it, and other stuff.  Princess Diary series (also by Meg) is another inspiration for Impostor. This book is for older audience.




Meg wrote these two series based on past experience and things that she came to knew. When I first started out writing my biggest series that I ever started, I didn't realize how many complex parts there are in it. It made it very hard to write. So, I told you all this before that I'm giving that series a brake for a while and going to work on it later. This is where Impostor started: Last November 3rd, I didn't spend time sleeping. I spent my time in bed thinking about what my new novel is going to be about. Some time at midnight, it clicked! Then the next night I spent a good half hour working on the back cover (the part that explains what the book is about.) But one thing that I realized is Meg Cabot has a brilliant idea: write from things you came to know and past experience! I can do that with Impostor! I'll know the characters, feelings, thoughts, plans, situations, etc. THAT is where Allie Finkles and Princess Dairies came in! Meg wrote those two series by fitting tiny pieces of her past life in those books!
Allie Finkle's INSPIRATION (Meg explains her inspiration at a SLEEPOVER!)
and
Princess Diaries INSPIRATION


Check out those two links to get a better grasp of what I mean if what I'm talking about isnt clear enough. One is realy cute and funny and...actually they borh are!

So now you know what got Impostor started! While the rest of you are enjoying the beautiful weahter outside and I'm stuck here drinking hot chocolate and eating hot runny foods, I'll be sitting on my couch thinking of how much this is an unbearable fall for me.

Creatively Speaking,
Brooke Moran (BroEliMor)

P.S. If you have any little neices, daughters, cousins, etc. and they love to read GET THEM Allie Finkle's series! I promise you they will not be able to put the book down!

I LOVE You! Yes, You!

Okay you guys,  so I had a couple of LIVE blogs the last few days. I know I didn't look very camera friendly and all but I swear you guys I do not look that hideous! For those who have not seen me in person....I'm just putting that out there. What do you guys think of my video blogs? I'm going to do a really cool one for Halloween, but, untill then, I'm doing my blogs through here. Besides, you wouldn't want me to run out of energy for that AWESOME Halloween vlog I have up my sleeve would you?
Incase some of you missed my second vlog showing my NEW ROOM here it is (I posted about in one of my earlier blogs bout a month or two ago.)



News From a Hoot: My New Room vlog/video


Anyways this blog TOTALLY is not about me its about how much I love you guys! In fact I love you all so much (in a friendly way) that It's distracting me from writing my novel tonight! So I thought writing a blog would be necessary.




I know I'm not the most innocent little angel in the world that everyone thinks I am, but.... all of a sudden these amazing people just decide to make my day! I don't know WHAT I did to get so much love from all of you but I can honestly say I appreciate all of your guys's affection.  I'm about to list some people here but DO NOT feel bad if you do not see yourself  in this blog. There are so many of you I may of lost count. This isn't the end. Why? Because that's what my Support Book is for: so I never forget anyone who makes my writing all the more spectacular and my who gives me hope and gives me a reason to keep breathing!


So I would like to send my via hug to Meg Cabot. She happens to be my hero, career idol, and favorite author in the whole entire galaxy. Meg the reason why I am sending you my via hug is because, well....for starters when you send your books out into the world, you know I'm the first person in line to get it (ok well I wish I was) and when I read your books they take me away from things that are negative in the world and suddenly everything is ok. But otherwise they are just mind blowing books. Secondly, thank you SO MUCH for fallowing me on Twitter! That made my night! Also, thank you for the time where you put me in your diary on your Official Website for carving that pumpkin I made for you, replied to me personally through regular email, for writing back to me on my wall posts I send you on face book, for putting me in your note on facebook (which your diary and note happen to be the same tittle "Awesome Naked Updates"...I think that's it) and for chasing away my fear that you would be like some of those famous people who end up being snooty in real life. Like I said, you are a sweet heart and so kind. Don't ever change Meg! ...Or quite writing!




Next up to give a via hug to is my best friend in the whole world: Kym! Why am I giving you a via hug Kym? Because, no matter how crabby I get, no matter how many times I keep bugging you to read my next chapter to see how it sounds (No you guys you can not ask her to secretly send my chapters to you. She does not have that permission and does not have the chapters to begin with), and no matter how many times I'm just a pain, annoying at times, a goof, a snob, whatever you wanna call me Kym you put up with me anyways because you're my best friend and never left my side. Plus you always do end up reading my chapters anyway. It's just whenever YOU feel like it. Thank you kym for all good times and thank you for putting up with me and thank you for reading and giving me the feedback. A via hug for you Kym!




This via hug goes to my Aunt Marilyn. Marilyn you are getting a via hug from me because I remember back when we went to a fun raiser for this girl who had breast cancer, you were giving me advice on life and writing. But truth is that's the last reason why you get a via hug but the first reason"s" are very important to me: You are the person who can light up a room when you walk in, the type of person who can keep a conversation going. You are the type of person who will go through struggles when everyone else is but you don't try to fix your own because you try to comfort everyone else. Mare-mare I dont even know how to put my answers together. The best way I can say this is, even though my characters are fictional (is that even a word) you are a role model to my characters because  they wanna be that light in the room (like you), they wanna be thier for their close ones when ever their close ones need them (like you), they wanna follow in your foot steps, Marilyn, because deep down inside they admire you and want to be just like you. They want to walk the earth knowing that they are a good person who everyone loves and does the right thing by being a good person at the end of the day. And incase you didn't notice Marilyn (I AM the characters. The author always are THE CHARACTERS or the main ones. We have to be because we have to be inside thier shoes in order to write from thier prospective.) So Marilyn, You get a very special via hug!




The next people to get a via hug.  Mrs. Rehling and Mrs. Gaurd. I'm so sorry ladies I do not have a picture of you. But I think you both know why you get a via hug from me! You both have been SUCH a humungo help with my writing and everything-the whole package deal- that comes with of helping a future author. I love you both so much and would NEVER of made it this far without any of you.  I want to acknowledge all of my books to you! All of them. But unfortunately, I can't do that becasue other people have already earned their way of being acknowledged in my books. So ladies...you know what you did to earn this via hug. I don't think I need to put anything else down, here. =]



The last via hug goes too my parents! And just like I said to the two wonderful ladies up there: You know what you did to earn and deserve this. I love you both and I would not of been this far without you guys either. Thank you for being the best parents on the planet and for giving me the support, help, and attention I need. Some parents dont even care and let thier kids go bout their business. But I am very happy you are in my business. Or...well...the business that I want you to know about. And how sad I dont have a picture of you guys. (I kno I know!!!! It's terrible!) But dad I dont think you would want me to share your picture anways! You never like having your picture taken.



Anyways guys...EVERYONE...do not freak out if you didn't see yourself. There are so many of you to list but tonight I had to post only certain people. I love ALL OF YOU and would never of been this far without ANY OF YOU GUYS! You rock my world! And here is a quote I made up for people like you (Yes I do happen to say this all the time:)
You rock harder than the Rolling Stones!

A Day In The Life of BroEliMor (Brooke)

Well, well, well guys its another glorious starting of a weekend. Yes that's right, it  is going on 5:30 in the morning that Im posting this. But WHY am I posting it so early? Im posting so early because I am here to bring you good news (well for me anways.) For many years, I've been trying to accomplish a new years resolution. Ive failed and failed, and failed again. But the failing has come to an end TODAY! I have finally got it done. How long did it take me? Few years (no exact length because I forgot) and about 3 hours. This is all thanks to YOU, me with never giving up, and of course witht he help of God. Remember when I asked you to pray for me? Well it has finally been answered and I thank you to those who prayed for me a few weeks ago when asked. Bad news is, I cant tell you what I accomplished. Im so sorry! Its very personal.
Maybe in the future I will but it wont be for a long time. The good news is though, that since I have finished one of my hardest new years resolution, I can start a new life and move on (even if its not new years yet.)
I know, I know, you're probably thinking "Now Brooke what could a 19 year old possibly do in her new life?" Well I will tell you my little friends! I made a schedule that I WILL FOLLOW THROUGH ON! It took me an hour to make this schedule out so I can have it figured out.  I made this two days before I accomplished my new years resolution. HEY, I didnt know if  my N.Y.R. was gonna happen or not. But I made a schedule anyways.
So here is A Day In The Life of BroEliMor (me:)
-Get up at 8am every week day and make bed and wash my face.
-Take shower (I usually take about an hour in there)
-Eat brakefast around 9:15
-Take dog for a walk after brakefast (Usually the walk takes us about 15-25 minutes)
-Exercise inside some how around 10am(Me and my mom are looking at Tredmills today. Yaaay!)
-Write novel (Imposter) till lunch
-Eat lunch at 12:30
-Check facebook and email (half hour each NO MORE than half hour)
-Meditate (time cannot be estimated. Meditation has no time limit. Meditate till innerself is cleansed)
-Read (Insatiable by Meg Cabot) till dinner (My career idol and favorite author of all times says its very important for inspired writers to always read. READ READ READ. I feel extremely bad because I forgot the reason why she said that.)
-Eat dinner (usually around 6 or 7)
-Chores
-Free time of whatever choice (possibly more writing, possibly more reading, possibly watch Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Who knows!) till bed.
-Go to bed every week day at 10, if not 10 then 10:30 at the latest.


So there is the FABULOUS  day in the life of author BroEliMor! I am finally going to leave my hideous past behind and start a new one with an organized and healthy schedule.  But none of this wont be able to start till next week, Monday. I have a CRAZY birthday party to attend (ahem...its my sisters.) Her little friends are crazy! I think I might faint of such insanity over the weekend.
And just a couple more things guys, in case you havent noticed Im becoming more of Lilo and Stich fan than I ever was AND I think I choose to move to Hawaii over Florida anyday! Oh, and sorry there's no graphics to go with the blog this time. Im very out of it. I just got back from a flight (because I was on a vacation visiting my dad) and its PAST FIVE IN THE MORNING so excuse me for being dull with my blog!

But that it's for now,
Aloha!

Cupid Hit Me

Do you guys remember that blog of mine way earlier when I was talking about me and my novel Im working on (Impostor?) Well I do! I hope you remember though. Anyways I was thinking about it. I mean, I was thinking about what I said in my previous blog when I was talking about it having a sister ( a sequal). It's a very tough decision right now. But I think I might want to add a sequal now. Thing is, I'm not doing the sequal for you, or for me. Why? Because I realized I wasted 19 years of my life trying to satisfy people by trying do the things they do, trying to like the same stuff they like, talk like they talk, joke like they joke, me trying to squeez in here, me trying to squeez in there. And all that other stuff. I regret this so much! And I have come to realize that I enjoy myself and my time so much more when I be me-just 100% me! Then I discovered people like me more that way. And they dont even realize what I'm doing. Its like I was their color first but now Im switching over to my colors. I know I know! What does this have to do with the sequal? The reason why I might be adding a sequal is because I want to give my character the life I never had, the things I never owned, feelings I didnt get till 19 years later when I should of got them at teeny bopper age. My friend Lydia who also wants to become an author told me that "Your Stories are like your children. You have to help them become the best they are before you send them out into the world." And you know what? She is so right! Thats why Im still thinking very strongly if a sequal is appropriate for Impostor when I can just do the same thing for my other characters in my other books (give them the things that I didnt have.) I never will know what it's like to be a parent but that's why I have to try to be one now so I can send my books out there and if my books need thier Mamma to write a sequal I will but only if its appropriate.



Now....Something #2 I have to tell you all. There are different types of love. Love for your kids and romance. I think cupid hit me well this week. He sure knows how to aim! What Lydia said is right . And I know what its like to at least love a little kid age four. I didnt want to let her go because I love her so much and she's not even my kid! So if I was hit that strong and you have to treat your books like your kid...then I damn better make sure my book is ready to go out being published and if it really needs a sister.




Cupid hit me with the romance arrow!
Did I ever tell you guys how much I love Johnny Depp and super heroes and villains? Well if I didnt Im telling you know! Johnnny Depp is an amazing gorgeous actor. Everytime I see him in a movie I just kind of....get lost by his "act"ions. I have never seen an actor that can act completely different with a different voice spoken so well as good as he can do it. It's fascinating! Sometimes I wanna be Elizabeth





Sometimes I wanna be chased by someone without a head!



Sometimes I wanna be Alice trapped in Wonderland!


And sometimes I just wanna be that girl in the Superhero-Batman 3 movie!



Yeap, that's right! Hollywood News says its a very big possibility that Johnny Depp could be playing The Riddler in Batman 3 movie! You all just know I'm dying to see this already! ;)
Because it has my favorites combined: Superhero, Jonny Depp. ....You get me! So when the 3rd Batman Movie comes out just remember that I will have the best seat in there, everyday watching it, not even eating popcorn because when you are in love they say you cant eat, cant sleep, cant think but the only thing you can do is love that person you are in love with. So I really do hope he is in the next Batman movie! Thank you Cupid for the love you had darted at me this week or this month. I think I'm turning blue from all the arrows! Oh no wait....Summers just over and its cold now! But thats ok my life has not ended yet. My novels, Johnny Depp, and Superheroes keep me breathing! Of course my family and friends to! ;) I havent forgotten about you guys. But dont be mad at me when I can hardly pay attention when "he" comes back around. (You all can thank Cupid for that.)

Well I have to go get some me time (watching Wolfman and eating goodies since I have the house to myself!)
More info will be posted later  on the Sister of Impostor when I decide if it will be coming or not.
Byee!

E-nuff is ENOUGH!

There comes a point in your lfie when you just get sick of things and I literally mean...sick.
Mentally sick, that is. Some people dont know how to draw a line for where it stops. Some people
give up and think its a circle that has no end. Well we can cut that circle. We can cut it good!
In fact, we can cut it so well that you'll make sure its a semi circle. Make the end jagged if you have to!
Whatever it takes-thats what we have to do sometimes. Because e-nuff is ENOUGH!



Im tired of things getting the worst of us! Its so unhealthy and we're being consumed by whatever is making us sick whether is an addiction, a person, a bad habbit, WHATEVER! You know what people? We are our own enemies! How do we become our own friends? There will always be tiffs with yourself and/or other people. But get over that reality piece and make friends.  I dont wanna be my own enemy, I dont wanna be mentally sick by anything, I dont wanna continue of being consumed and then being spit back out again. LOOK,....I dont care if I have to use a chain-saw to cut the circle or smelly perminate marker to make the line where it all ends; it just needs TO END!



As Bruce Almighty says it: If you want a miracle then BE the miracle!



I'm not exactly sure where my blog is taking you and I but this needs to be posted.
Anyways, here's the good news coming fom Bruce Backster and I:
Today at the dinner table while my mom and I were eating spaghetti my mom told me that some lady at her work is doing me a favor. She is going to send positive energy towards me from her home. My mom was explaining the whole process and how everything worked. I am huge believer of the miracle working thing. (Thats how I look at it. Im not sure what you call whatever my moms friend is doing.) Supposedly, if one adam is connected to the other adam and something happens to the first adam then the same thing will happen to the other adam. Even if they are far away from each other. So look at it like this: I am an adam ("Everyone has one" is what my mom told me today at dinner) and whatever the other adam is-which I do not know- is connected to me. The lady took classes and everything on this work I was told. If you dont want to believe it wont work FINE! But I believe in things that a lot of other people wouldn't believe in. The reason why she is even doing this is because I guess my bug phobia has gotten out of control since I woke someone up last night to kill a bunch of bugs that were in my room. But I am hoping that this positive-energy-adam thing will work on the other things that are consuming me alive! Oh, I really do hope! I mean hey, if its positive energy, then its ALL positive energy. Right? Because positive energy is one whole package: if you send that you're way then it sends the negative stuff away (the stuff that consumes you.)

(Tell me that doesn't look like positive energy!)



Remember everyone, Beeeee the miracle!

Guest On a Talk Show

You never really think about all the different types of VIP guest you see on Oprah or the Tyra Banks Show or Ellen. But today when I was watching Oprah with Tina Fay and Steve Carrol for their interview on their most recent movie they just played in, Date Night, it made me think about what would I be asked and what would I be like if I were to go on a talk show after successfully selling #1 Bestselling novels. I mean really, I don't know if you guys noticed or not but when ever someone asks me about my books I get really nervous and I simply always say "You'll just have to read it. I'm a really bad explainer." Then the person looks kind of down. I don't blame them! I mean, I'm THRILLED about people taking an interest in my writing and wanna know more, that's GREAT! But honestly, I am a terrible explainer. So I pray that the host wont say "What is your book about?" I don't think he or she will ask that though since the answer is right in front of them (usually the host will have some kind of prop based on whatever the talk show is about. Ex: a copy of my book.)


Alright now, I wonder which talk show I'd most likely to be on. To me, every talk show host is different. Like, iCarly and The Tonight Show are completely opposite of each other. Although, iCarly really isn't a talk show-talk show. Sometimes they have VIP on there.  Ellen has always been my favorite! I loved her from the time she played dory on Finding Nemo! She's such a character in real life and she brings animated characters to life! She's hilarious, down to earth, and seems like a really nice person. Besides, if you ever get lost she's awesome with directions (P. Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney.)





I'd love to meet Ellen she makes everything more fun. Maybe I should have my people call her people! HA!  Ellen I believe can make you lighten up when you're nervous plus she gets to the point so the interview is not to short and simple. I wonder what she would ask me. I mean, I DID have a unprofessional interview (but it was a really good interview) by my youngest sister. She was practicing on me because she wants to be an advice columnist when she grows up like Phoebe on Charmed.. Plus, I think she also wanted to do 'somethings' with interviewing VIP. Her questions were really good. Questions I never thought about before but somehow easy to answer but interesting. So BRAVO sis!

But now my sister wants to be a lawyer which is funny because Phoebe's demon boyfriend was a lawyer!


If I ever end up on a talk show or my books are talked about, I will definitely let you all know and tell you the time I will be airing.  Maybe I will bring an interview buddy with me like Tina Fay did today! Even though this person has nothing to do with my books or anything (except she is my idol and all that good stuff) I'd love to bring Melinda Shankar from one of my favorite TV series: Degrassi!

She plays Alli Bhandari! My favorite character, if I have not already mentioned that.

You never know who you will get to know in the future if you become famous or...whatever. Melinda was really surprised the other day when she got to meet her idol"s"! Yes, its plural! She took pictures with them and everything and posted it to her FanPage on facebook! Otherwise I'd love to bring my favorite author with me too: Meg Cabot     .
So always, always, always take a wonderful opportunity when one comes knocking on your door because it will lead to new things and possibly new people. Hey, my cousin met Julia Roberts when she went to New York with her choir class! See? So go for it guys! You only live once!  Even though I might get all nervous and freez, I'm still gonna go on that talk show! 
(Oh by the way guys, Degrassi is on in FIVE MINUTES!)
Holly Crap, I gotta go guys!  Byyye!

You and The Blackness

Picture yourself in nothing but blackness. There's nobody around. No answers. No light at the end of the tunnel. All there is, is you and you're question "How the hell do I get out of here?" That's all there is in the blackness. There's no path, no directions. You're scared and hurt or possibly even confused. Did you picture this for me. No, I'm sorry! Did you picture this for yourself? If you didn't please take a moment because what I'm about to say next is one of the most important things I have ever posted in my blog.
So take a few seconds.

This place actually exist. People end up here when they have no self respect and when they don't know how to. When I said there are no paths and directions I meant it. But you can make them even if they aren't existing right now. The only reason why there are none is because the person didn't make any yet. People, my blog today is about heroism, you, and doing things that matter.  You all need to read this blog because truth is you probably will end up in that blackness someday. Or you already have. I'm going to help you prepare if you ever end up there. So first things first: Part one-You-

You
One of the biggest reasons why you'll probably end up there (if you do or if you already have and can't find you're way out) is because you have been focusing on other people and trying to make them happy, and worrying about not pissing them off or you just want to be with them so you're doing everything you can to make them like you....A LOT. You could either be offering to pay for them when they don't really need help at all, not speaking up to them when they've treated you wrong (because its happened and it will), and just silly stuff like that. There's a whole list. Okay now, here's the problem....if you keep doing this they will take huge advantage of you and you wont even recognize it because you've already given them the privilege of doing so. This is where the "first you" come in.
Why are "you" still trying? Is it taking "you" anywhere"? Is this making "you" happy? Does this benefit "yourself"? Answer is most likely no. Don't EVER let anyone take advantage of you. You are a person with feelings, a heart, and  you do matter! This is probably ending up hurting you. Get away from this and speak up.

















Another one of the biggest reasons is lack of self-esteem. Remember what I told you: You matter! But not everyone in the whole world is going to end up liking you. So why are you hanging around with that person or people I mentioned with the description above? Here's what to do: Hang around with the people you know who cares about you and would do anything for you. The people that accept you and tell you wonderful things about you because if you're lacking self esteem its probably because when you were busy hanging around with the type of people above they weren't making you feel very special...were they? The type of people that I JUST mention (yeah the ones who care and tell you nice things) are the ones that you will enjoy time with more.  I guarantee you that if you do this you will feel so much better and will gain self esteem AND self respect. I know because I've been in the blackness before.













One last reason that I'm going to list is self awareness. You all know the gut feelings we get. This is one of the best things that can help you. It detects what is right and what is wrong. Its your friend-go with it! This have everything to do with self respect! It keeps you safe. Here's a little hint: the gut feeling goes off every time you're close to a step closer to the Blackness. All I have to say is GO GO GO with your self awareness/gut feeling thing. It is ALWAYS you're friend.






Next on the list is
Heroism
Now, this is a harder task. If you know something is wrong (ex. bully picking on person minding their own business) speak up and say something. Because if you can give respect to humanity and others around you, you will be greatly rewarded. What goes around comes around. You will be so surprised at what that person will do for you next. HEY, you might of even just earned a new friend! But heroism goes with anything. Be a hero for someone AND MOST IMPORTANTLY be a hero for "yourself."  If you know you're starting to slip in that Blackness and you know you wont like it then WHY IN THE HELL ARE YOU LETTING YOURSELF SLIP? This is you we are talking about!






One of the most important thing I heard in my life is "Teach people the way you want to be treated". You should and with that being said I think its very much possible that you can teach yourself how to treat you. Definitely!  All of this matters. "You take care of Number One and Number One is you! How can anybody take care of you if you cant take care of yourself?"


YOU dig the paths and make the directions! You decide where the road stops and which way it continues! You're the driver of you're life. If you keep driving down the wrong path and keep crashing into things your head lights are going to burn out. One last word of advice, buckle up, use your horn, kick out the garbage in your trunk/ backseat (hint: the wrong people), your back up drivers will stay buckled for the drive (trust me they will), turn on the radio and enjoy the ride.


Remember all these things I said to do, DO IT, and see how far you go and how happy you will be!

CAUTION: BOOKS ARE VERY HOT!

(STAY TUNED TO FIND OUT BROELIMOR'S NEWEST BOOKS!)
Hello I'm Buffy The Vampire Slayer! NOT! I'm really the author BroEliMor who is a lot like Buffy right now because just like Buffy I have suddenly lost interest in vampires. Yes, including the Twilight saga! All though, Buffy does end up liking a couple vampires. I have mine that I like too (Insatiable by Meg Cabot, and the show Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and Queen of the Damned.) But that's it. Another reason why I am like Buffy right now is because I remember this one episode I watched and she goes "Owe!" and her demon-like friend goes "What? Cut yourself?" and Buffy goes "No! Cramp." I have been having so many cramps during my writing time its not even funny! So if you see mood swings in my characters when you read my books don't blame them blame me!



Anyways, while me and my crampy self  brain storm ideas to help set up for the new books being made soon I will be trying to avoid vampires.  You might wanna get a bottle of water or glass of lemonade for the next part. It's going to toast the insides of you. Just take a look at this warning sign:




My new books are so hot that you will barely be able to hold it! I'm warning you now, GO get an ice cold drink.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Girls and Guys (Non-Vampire/Vampiress) ... I now present to you BroEliMor's Newest Novels To Come:

Music plays: Dah, duh, dah, dah TA dum!


Some one's Hitting On A Married Man
Paulina Curlingston is part of an extravagant and incredibly wealthy family, just like her neighbors who happen to have a son named Antonio with a body of a god and a face like Heaven. Too bad he's married to Belinda. But that's no challenge for Paulina. Especially since she is a clever witch! When her neighbors invite their son and Belinda over for the holidays, Paulina can't help but to get in the way and use her charms on Antonio by volunteering to be their new maid (temporarily of course!) Shortly, Antonio is becoming seduced and  Belinda gets jealous. She is easily tempted to bring something back from the past that caused her to live with a filthy secret and use it on Paulina. When Belinda toys with Paulina's spells, it could cause EVERYONE in the household to be sent to their death-beds. This is what happens when "Some one's Hitting On A Married Man!"

Envious
-Envious is an 18 year old girl.

-Envious is enticing.
-Envious is an Egyptian belly dancer for royal entertainment.
-Envious is in a pickle with dangerous temptations. But she's not the one with temptations, it's her admirer, King Tut.
Whatever will she do when she is forcefully held at the temple as hatred, lust, jealousy, competition, and complications linger around? Envious feels anxious to be free again and decides to start playing the game by giving the king whatever he wants, whether it's lap dances or a night in the bathing water together. But who will win once King Tut finds the rule of the game that could lead to his last breath?
(This one is untitled still
Aknowledgment to Mike Wollslair)
You wanna know what's the deal with 25 year old Buffy Jackson running into
a mysterious man on the plane during her flight for her vacation
 and is very much "weirded out" but can't seem to find him irresistible so
she decides to track him down and know why he's the way he is? So do I!
We'll find out more when it's done.

(This is not the back cover. More information-with detail- will be available later!)


I don't know about you guys but I need to get an ice pack!
Oh by the way, I'm not responsible for any fatal burns...sorry!

Winds of Change

We all go through it. It's something nobody can stop. Sometimes its good and sometimes its bad. It may even  be for the best of things even when we dont like it. This thing is called change. I like change this year. Especially when you're doing it for YOUR SELF. The only time you shouldn't change is for someone else.  Be you and do what makes you happy and satisfied.

I'm going through change and the wind is only going to stop blowing when the change is complete. It may be hard but I know it's going to do me good. 

Here is a list of things that are blowing to a change:
-Weight
Bed Room
Skin Color
-Interest
-Appitite
-Hobbies



My Nana has convinced me to join weight watchers. I have to say it's working out really well. Yeah it's difficult to stay away from what she calls "saintan food" and eating a lot but it is really hepling me out. Maybe I can fit into more cute clothes. I dont know what will become of this! But it's going somewhere....I can feel it. Look at the difference: before I was on W.W. and after.


Before: (Im on the right in white)




After:





I had to make it extra large so you could see the picture better. But anyways...do you see the difference! Right now I'm learning how continue exercising and to count points.



This bring me to the next change: Hobbie.
I will still read alot! Trust me that is one thing that's NOT going to CHANGE! And niether will writing. I will still sit on my buttox, at times, and read or write. But I love the trendmill now that I go on it just about everyday for twenty minutes. It really wasn't all that bad. Sure I got sweaty but I'm in the desert! Hell-ooo! Duh! So when I come back home to Wisconsin I will walk twenty minutes around the block with my dog Dino.

Yes that's him alright! That handsome wonderful pooch up there!

Appitite is next on the list. This is probably the hardest one. The only Weight Watcher leader I have is my Nana so when I go back to WI I will be away from my leader and I'll have freedom to choose the foods...yes even "saitan food." I will try my hardest to watch what I eat and buy a lot of food that is labeld Lite. My Nana taught me that just because something is healthy doesn't mean it'll make you skinny. It's really the calories. For example, I bought orange Juice when I got my first breakfast out here (AZ) and Nana went crazy! She said "Do you have any idea how many calories that is? If you have one full glass of Orange Juice it's like having four oranges!" That was a huge shocker to me. I obviously have no idea how to shop for food .... or clothes (pssst...someone thinks I am a "fashion disaster! But that's ok someone is helping me take care of that.)


Interest-
I still love my two dogs to death (yes the two that caused the stink bomb from one of my earlier blogs) but I think I am such an independent person and laid back and not that active in the outdoor life that I am more of  cat girl.





I mean, I wont go this far as much as I love "Cat Woman" (because I love Superheroes) but I'm planning on getting a cat when well...Dino kicks the bucket. But that wont be for a long time. I was googleing different breeds of cats and studying them. I fell in love with one particular, beautiful breed:
American Shorthiar. Sounds plain and simple right? Well just squirl down...




LOOK AT THIER COATS!


This isnt the only reason why I love them though. They are beautiful, indeed.
(By the way, does anybody know what breed Cat Woman is?)


Skin color comes blowing into our next thing. Man did I get red today. I practiced tanning under one of my favorite palm trees (which would happen to be in my papa's and nana's backyard.)That's all I'm going to say.


Last but sure in the heck not least is my Bed Room. Wouldn't it be nice for all of us Jungle Freaks to have one room in our house looking like this:


But....yeah right. That isnt going to happen. I do have good news thouhg. (No I didn't save 15% or more on car insurance by switchiung to Geico. But boy that'd be nice too.) My Bed Room gets to have a make-over JUNGLE STLYE! With my money left over from my graduation party and my new money coming in for my birthday, I will have plenty of cash that I can spend to buy things to jazz up my pad. When it is all done I will be sure to feature it in my blog. I can't wait to get going on it. What I am really shocked about is how much it came to. ...It was not even close to my guess. The price is really low. And, AND ...how could anyone do thier room like the one above? Man are they lucky? Well, congrats. to whoever's pad that is.

Leave me a cool breez (a comment on my wall on Facebook) if you like my winds of change.

Night everybody!
