Dearly Beloved - Mary Jo Putney(1990)... bear with me

So i know this is an old book by 16 years, but I deeply feel it should be known. Not only is it an amazing book by a gifted author, but it resonates with me deeply. If any of you have looked into my other blogs, you may know my mother was rather inappropriate. My family vehemently denies it, but it is one of the underlying issues to many of my related issues. I would like to input a few quotes that relate, that are in the book.

"Making love can be quite lovely. It's best if you care deeply for your partner, but it can be quite enjoyable with any man you like who treats you well. Many women never learn that, of course. We are raised to protect ourselves from all men's advances, to fear being touched. It becomes difficult to relax and enjoy loving."

I have been damaged from my experiences with my mother, as does the love interest for Diana, Gervase; though not in the same capacity. My mother would randomly grab my boobs and giggle. She would ask about my upstairs and downstairs and to see them. It has made it very difficult getting intimate, it has been a journey and one I am still on. Which is difficult with a man I love, who I have been with for almost 6 years, and have had a child with. I sometimes have difficulty being touched, being exposed, or anything to do with my boobs. I have become a ninja in my resolve to protect them.

The character in the novel, Gervase was raped by his mother who had a need for love thanks to her incredible vanity. He suffers deeply because of it: having difficulty getting close, falling in love or accepting love believing he is too terrible to receive such a gift.

Another quote, "Yes. Pain is inevitable, but it isn't all there is to life. I would rather suffer sometimes than feel nothing. If one tries to eliminate the hard times, the good times are lost too."

Which I find similar between the main character Diana Lindsay and I. She had a rough childhood, a bad parent, and tons of anger and issues over the hand life gave to her. But she managed to overcome it, which isn't easy. And to embrace all life has to offer, seek out crazy adventures, see the best in people and would do anything to help people she cares about. I know it isn't an easy journey. With all the issues from that horrible house I grew up in, I had tons of anger, tons of rage and resentment and just needed to find peace. Which was very difficult, embracing all life has. All the possible beauty to be found and finding inner happiness and peace so I could move on,

The novel, Dearly Beloved is merely a story of love, forgiveness, and bonds which can't be broken that were either formed through a simple circumstance that bound people together. Or people who helped you at your darkest and became closer than your own family ever was. Diana and Gervase are connected and have many obstacles to overcome but love each other deeply.



Diana happens upon a middle-aged woman who is frail and sick in her garden during winter, she saves her life and makes her apart of her family and learns of her new friends past... as a courtesan. Diana couldn't marry, and wanted a new start with new experiences so she took her family (Madeline, her friend from the garden.Edith, her housekeeper. and her son Geoffrey). They move to London, where Madeline had resided and Diana decides to become a courtesan herself, so that even though she can't marry, she could find love in her life. She becomes known as the Fair Luna and on her first night, meets the striking Gervase and is drawn to him, knowing he is the one for her. They begin a courtship and create a bond that makes them inseperable, especially once Gervase meets her son Geoffrey. Gervase is a British spy master, and has forces out to destroy him, one of which has a particular eye for the Fair Luna and vows to make her his. Despite all the obstacles, can they find love when both had such troubled pasts and a complicated present?

5 Stars, and most definitely a must read. In fact, I would just die if someday HBO or someone made a show based on this. 1700's England, exposing the inner Courtesans life, with a love story such as this, and not too much like Moulin Rouge. I adore Moulin Rouge so much!!! But these are not the same, and this is a darker, sexier story.

Much Love,

The Glittering Court by Richelle Mead: MUST READ! *****

                                      

From my review on FirsttoRead:

I have been an avid fan of Richelle Mead's books since before I knew I was, I used to read her Georgina Kincaid Succubus series and was enthralled, but got distracted by life and Jane Austen before coming back around to Vampire Academy, I grew obsessed with the books reading them over and over before realizing it was an author I had come to love years before, and the spin-off Bloodlines was just icing on the cake. Then she manages to enthrall me with yet another new world, new strong characters and another epic love story. The Glittering Court is an incredible new read that will have you hooked and begging for more, like I currently am. We start off with the main character, Lady Elizabeth, Countess of Rothford who is a direct descendant of a former ruler Rupert and must marry, but due to her familys unfortunate lack of money it isn't the match she had hoped for but seems to be her only option. As one of her maids is approached by a man about the Glittering Court, she can't help but inquire more, knowing this is her ticket out. She assumes her maid, Adelaide's identity and proceeds to one of three manors where poor beautiful young women who have no important status in society except as maids and such are trained to be as well as educated as any proper high born lady. They are taught how to dance properly, how to throw a party, history as well as other educational topics, music and much more while also being given fabulous garments and jewels to snare wealthy men after they have completed their training. She finds herself intrigued by the young man who recruited her (maid), Cedric, and he by her. They try and fight their attraction (sometimes not o well) as he helps guide her to make a suitable match. The story is compelling and has so many settings, interesting characters, and a different kind of goo than we have seen from any other Richelle book this far, definitely worth the read, and will be shelved right next to the equally amazing Vampire Academy series, as well as its spin-off series. Bravo Richelle! You have made yet another masterpiece for us enthusiastic fans and lovers of fiction and great love stories to devour for years to come.

5 Stars for sure! :)

Here is an excerpt: 

“Do you think my future’s a joke? Is all of this a joke to you?” 
I met his gaze, looking unblinkingly into those gray-blue eyes. 

“Actually, this is anything but a joke. This is my future too. My chance to be free and make my own choices.” 

He shook his head. “You don’t realize what you’ve done—what you may have cost me. I have so much depending on this, more than you can know.” 

“I haven’t cost you anything. Help me with this—don’t betray me, and I’ll owe you a favor.” I caught hold of his sleeve. “Haven’t you ever known something in your heart, known you needed to do something or be somewhere? That’s how this is for me. I need  to do this. Help me, and I swear, I’ll make it up to you some day.” 

A fleeting smile played over his lips. “The Countess of Rothford could have done a lot more for me than a simple girl bound for Adoria.” 

“You’d be surprised. The Countess of Rothford couldn’t do much for herself, let alone anyone else.” I looked up at him through my lashes. “And don’t assume I’m simple.” 

He made no response and instead studied me for a long time. We were in very close quarters, which gave that scrutiny a disconcertingly intimate feel. “This will be harder than you think,” he said at last.

Magic Words: From the Ancient Oral Traditional

This was such a neat book that's short enough for a child's attention span and not scary while still managing to explain the whole legend. One of the best things about this book is the illustrations drawn by Mike Blanc, so colorful and drawn in a way that you don't see much these days. The book is full of simple words and sentences but still manages to caress you and make you feel cozy. I'll be sure to read this with my child again and again!

Barbie

Yet another unrelated post....

Anyone else remember that awesome game on Barbie.com they used to have back in the early 2000's? and then it went away in jeez 2004? maybe 2005?

You could choose the barbie, her outfit, her hair, maybe even her make-up. And then at the end it gave you the dolls little life-story? I religiously played it back then and even after it went off i would still check a few times a year for two years just to see if they brought it back but sadly they never did... i bet if they did their website views would go up and maybe even sales! it was my favorite internet game!

Other favorite games back then were elf bowling (i know, so old. but it was so funny!), and jeopardy, random floppy disc games that i wish i could remember the names of! and many nintendo games: anticipation, duck hunt, pokemon snap (i think that was name, you were hired as a photographer and had to get awesome shots of pokemon), and of course all the mario games, and diddy kong racing. and to this day i still play on my 3ds mariokart games and mario64 and well i did have marioparty and diddy kong racing ds game (but sadly there were no players for multiplayer using wi-fi, sad because it had the BEST map, the ice pyramid!)

well thats all,

Much Love,

A look at me!

Just in case you guys are curious, this is the face behind the computer

Glee #The Quarterback

I think we can all agree last night's tribute episode was done beautifully and was absolutely heartbreaking. I for one could not stop crying. For me, it still hasn't seemed real like he's just gonna wake up and go "psych" but with this and the coronors' final autopsy really made it real and still not all the way there yet but a good step. I never felt a connection to him like thousands of people have so I don't know why I processed it in my head that way.

Burt, Carol, and Kurt's scene was one in particular that made the crying a little worse and well, be even more grateful I have my son (2 years old), and it was just a heartwrenching scene.

I was SO glad to see Coach Beiste again, I widh she was on the show every week! She is one of my favorite characters and has such a great heart, but her scenes with puck and Mr. Schue were other parts I cried more

But the 2 that were a little worse for me was especially Sue letting out her emotions to Santana (glad Glee let Jane mourn in the episode too, rather than having Sue all stony and cold). and Schue crying at the end.

I wish Rachel was in more scenes, but her scenes were beautiful, as well as her song.

My favorite songs were No Surrender sung by Puck tied with Fire and Rain by Sam & Artie, and then Santana's If I Die Young (particularly because of how she ran off and the conversation she had with Kurt).

Can I just say as soon as Puck said he didn't have the jacket I suspected Schue.

Finn/Cory will never be forgotten and my heart still goes out to his family and friends, and the Glee family.

Bravo to Glee and Fox for such a great job!

Witches Of East End 1x02 Promo 'Millicent Fenwick, R.I.P.' - This Season...

Witches of East End

Witches of East End is AMAZING, and yes, I know they have only aired the pilot so far but am eagerly counting down to the next episode on Sunday! :D I have actually tuned in to it on cable 3 times now: first premier on sunday, and them replaying it right after, and last night. It is also downloaded to my laptop! That's how awesome it is. I have never re-watched a pilot (save for re-watching series from the beginning on dvd or netflix like Gossip Girl, Vampire Diaries, etc....) and I  have never felt this passion for one or re-watched an episode so much is such a short time frame. Usually I can't stand it, I am constantly on my bf's butt about having the same show on repeat for months on end, sometimes switches it to something else we have seen a million times but even that is on constant repeat and I don't know how he does it. This show has held my complete attention the entire time for each time I have watched and well, if you saw the eye candy you would understand why even more ;)

The cast is made up of Channing Tatum's wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum (Freya), Julia Ormond (an actress I have loved for as long as I can remember, especially for playing Sabrina... in the movie Sabrina. Still held very dear to my heart and frequently watched) She plays the mother. Rachel Boston plays Freya's sister Ingrid, Rachel had a pretty hefty resume: she has starred in 500 days of summer, 7th heaven, ghosts of girlfriends past, the ex list, scoundrels, the cleaners and much more. Aunt Wendy is played my Madchen Amick who has been in a lot too! She played Duchess Beaton on Gossip Girl (shocking I know), E.R., Joey, Gilmore Girls, Dawson's Creek, Freddie, Californication, Damages, My own worst enemy, etc....  Ingrid's Friend Barb is played by Kellee Stewart who ahs been in a lot but is most famed for playing Courtney in Hot Tub Time Machine (you know, the wife who cheated on her husband, oh wait psych! Some psycho guy called me when i was really little and now I never would!)

Now EYE CANDY: 

Ok, let's start with Killian on the right because well. I love him. He's hot, he's sexy, He is the new ian somerhalder if you can believe it! His name is Daniel DiTomaso and is new to Hollywood with only a few minor things under his belt. 

On the right we have Dash Gardiner (Killian's older brother) who is played by Eric Winter. Eric has been around for a while, anyone remember him playing Katherine Heigl's bf in The Ugly Truth? Well, he looked better in there.... Still hot! But with Killian in the picture it's like you don't even see him, and well if Killian isn't there, well you are still thinking about him... lol. 

The preview of the next episode is in next post. I am SO READY!

Hope you all tune in! You won't be disappointed! :) 

Much Love,

                    Avg Girl   <3

Once Upon a Time

The new, highly anticipated 3rd season is starting on september 29 (just five days away!) sadly, we have to wait even longer for Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, the new spin-off series. Now, i saw a few episodes last year while we were visiting my man's parents house and liked it but didn't pursue it because I had enough to watch already, and finally i have enough time on my hands and am all caught up from season 1 to now and i ADORE the show!

Now, I used to be obsessed with the spinning straw into gold part of Rumpelstiltskon's classic story as a child, but otherwise I found it creepy and well, it wasn't a favorite. But for Once Upon a Time he is my favorite character, I love all his storylines and I love Baelfire too (Bae, his son).  <3 both of them, both of their persona's are just sexy! So yeah rump is old (only find him hot as mr. gold) and bae is hot too but well, he could lose the belly....

I eagerly await hearing more of Prince Philips tale, as he is plays a character on PLL which I love, and he is crazy handsome and gotta love that accent! *sigh*

Prince Charming, he's really fantastic and romantic but he just doesn't do it for me though! I love Snow+Charming's storyline, I adore it. but I like rump's better. I love their "i will always find you" and how they are around eachother and who they are individually but still. The fascination isn't there: the need to delve in deeper to their story isn't there for me.

Hook: Well, he's a sexy, dashing pirate who has a heart he just sometime's lets his pride or selfish desires interfere. I love how he was in the Bae storylines, and even on his own. He is just perfect! (and also has a great accent) ;)

Geppetto and Pinocchio/August: These two are great, they have both had their faults, and pinocchio paid dearly (though achieved redemption and was rewarded), but still I love them.

The mad hatter is another one I love (which I was surprised at because he plays carter baizen on gossip girl, and HATED him). He has a great storyline and your heart just aches for him, looking forward to hearing more about that.

and of course the other character's are great: Jiminy, Henry, (LOVE THE DWARFS, Especially grumpy/Dreamy. He just rocks and is amazing).

The women are just fabulous on the show! None of them are weak, they are strong independant woman who are warriors; brave, the heroes of their own story. Belle is great in all her persona's but like the fairy-tale version more: her story with mulan, everything with rumple, and well her heart. I love red/ruby she is awesome, as well as snow, emma, granny, the fairies,(not crazy about sleeping beauty which i'm bummed about because that was my fave story as a kid, and it was my fave disney movie. Still hold it dear to my heart though), mulan, and regina.


This new season will introduce Ariel (and presumably Eric), along with Tinkerbelle, and well. idk who else. but I can't wait!  Henry was recently captured by Tamara and Owen and was taken to Neverland so Emma, Snow, Hook, Charming, Rumplestiltskin, and can't remember who else....  are off to Neverland! and Bae washed up in the Enchanted Forest with Prince Philip, Sleeping Beauty, and Mulan and is alive! So there are MANY exciting things in store! :)))

Multiple movies thrown at you!

I realize I havent been on in forever it just took me a while to regain composure from one of my other blogs and i was moving halfway across the county, so this post wont be quite as in depth as my others and is just about things i have seen recently.

Movies:  Star Trek: Into the Darkness, LOVED! and cant wait for the next one! Kahn was a great villain and was played brilliantly, and the rest of the cast delivered stellar performances as well! 4 1/2 *'s
              Jack the Giant Slayer: Honestly I was dealing with a fussy baby so missed a few moments here and there but saw 97% and also loved it, but a little less. And yes, while it is sitting on one of my movie shelves I have yet to watch it again.  3 1/2 *'s
              Roman Holiday: An oldie! Just watched this the other night thanks to Netflix and adored it! I was a little let down she didnt end up with the guy but still warmed my heart. Audrey Hepburn has so many fabulous films! 4 *'s
              What to Expect When You're Expecting: This star-studded film was also very heartwarming and hilarious! A true delight from start to finish! I look forward to the sequel! 4 *'s
               Bachelorette: at first I felt a little scandalized and in shock but by the end i was in love and wanted it badly! really funny movie and rather romantic, now be warned: it's no notebook so dont come fussing about how there wasnt that much romance. 3 1/2 *'s
             
TV Shows: Pretty Little Liars, i would give it a 3 1/2 *'s, maybe 4. All i know is there are lots of better shows out there. I was simply curious and wanted to watch it while I'm young and its expected rather than being curious til I'm 40 and having it be pathetic. It isnt the best written show and I have rolled my eyes plenty of times but still keeps me addicted lol.

                  Gossip Girl: Not sure if I have blogged about this show yet but if I have, sorry! out of of my typical 5 stars I give, I would say a million! lol. This is hands down my favorite show! Definitely the most romantic show I have seen, and much more to it than meets the eye, definitely one to add to your netflix queue.
                  Dollhouse: Sadly, this show ended due to the horrible writers strike timing so we only have two seasons! But this is also one of my favorites and give it the same amount of stars as Gossip Girl. This is amazing in a different way, it doesn't focus on love relationships (though there are some to pull your heart strings pretty tightly), love is in the background along with all the superficial show stuff like fashion and gossip and drama. Yes, there are some dramatic episodes, but this shows about the science, and the people, and how the dollhouse changes them. and the world outside us (which is more focused on in second season). Truly amazing and a work of pure genius! (thank you joss whedon!)

                    Fairy Tail: k, don't judge me yet! Just started watching this show yesterday, and I am by no means an anime fan but this is fun to watch and is just a substitute for sailor moon (the only anime show I love, and well actually wanted to watch). Again, not the best out there but I like it so :p
                   
                    Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood: I have a two-year old son and he loves this show and I don't mind watching either. I'm actually surprised I like it, considering it's new and all of todays cartoons and tv shows for kids just suck! we had it awesome in the 90's and early 2000's. But this is pretty good. Other faves we watch with him are Curious George, Dinosaur Train, Mike the Knight, Backyardigans, etc... (Fallback: Calliou, Cat in the Hat) and well. movies: Disney, dreamworks, curious george movies, alvin and the chipmunks cartoon movies, etc....)

Well! I think thats it, but I will try and get on to post more often

Much Love,

wreck it ralph

sorry havent been on in forever, and never did the VA thing like i said i would but well. it would have been the longest thing ever because i cant leave anything out lol. And things have been omega busy, so forgive me? :)  

We bought Wreck It Ralph as soon as it hit the shelves and that is truly one of the most original movies i have seen, and it's super funny too! With the voice talents of john c reilly, jon mcbrayer, mindy kaling, sarah silverman, jane lynch, and much much more.

Ralph is just your average guy who is sick of being the bad guy and all the 'perks' that come with it: loneliness, being feared/hated, and so he decides to win a medal for a chance at a better life and so he hops on over to hero's duty to get that and then to the racing game Sugar Rush where there are a whole bunch of shenanigans going on and he helps a girl there to achieve her dreams of being a racer so she too can have the better life that he wants because both of them are just misfits. There are some pretty sad parts and the more i watch it the more i want to tear up lol.

This movie for me, just had to grow on me. after seeing it the first time i was like okay i liked it, this was really good i'm just not in love with it. And now, (after watching it more times than i can count) I really do love it, and so does my son..... and even my future spouse does and he is NOT a disney fan (shocker! i know, I am like the worlds biggest disney dork and movie buff so really sucks that he's not a movie guy, he's a gamer.)

So 4 1/2 *'s. Definitely watch it!

:)

Much Love,

tonight...

While my heart is and forever more shall be devoted to my dear matthew, tonight i live in my movies (and my not too distant past of being a starstruck teenager) and declare my love (yet again....) for Joseph Fiennes! True, I would rather wake up any day next to the love of my life. But tonight I can't help but get lost in Joseph whether it be in Shakespeare in Love, Elizabeth, or even The Very Thought Of You (a.k.a. Martha, meet frank, daniel, and lawrence). Tonights choice just happened to be Elizabeth, but usually I have Shakespeare in Love on repeat, (a great movie you all shoudl check out). I watched Harry Potter yesterday and while my sister may crave his brother Ralph (Voldemort), i beg to differ that Joseph is by far the most handsome of the two. She says Joseph looks like a girl, but any fool can see she is a fool.

Joseph                                                                                         Ralph
                


How could Ralph get anyone's blood boiling? he is NOT hot.

Thoughts?

-_- zzzzzz

Hello world!

Later tonight after dinner I will post on the first VA book, so stay tuned! it is about 5 or 6 hours away, just wanted to tell you that I do plan on posting today and the following days about this AMAZING series.

.
.
.

For now, for all of you who have not seen The Hobbit yet head to your nearest theater before it stops showing because the second one will be out later this year and the third one in 2014. You don't want to miss seeing it and watch it halfway do you? Better to start at the beginning for sure.This 2 1/2 hour movie is very enagaging and funny, and let me warn you there is a song or two in it.... And of course, Gollum (a.k.a. Smeagul) is in this movie, along with Frodo but very, very shortly, Gollum is in the movie longer, thank god right? lol. The white wizard Sarumon is in here and I couldn't help but glare at him each time I saw him. Thankfully Gandalf was in it otherwise I would have been kind of angry about Sarumon being in it and not Gandalf. Ther is also a quite comical, and gross character: Radagast the Brown, so pay attention to that fellow. There are Orcs of course, but not the same mutated ones we saw in LOTR.

For all of you who have seen it, what were your thoughts?

 

and of course, every movie has to have eye candy.... The third guy was hard to keep my eyes off of lol

and this pic below is just to make sure you have some of the names, because there are alot. and much easier to talk about a character rather than describing everything just to get it through



Now we saw it in 3d and yeah, some parts were totally rad but it's not necessary. Nothing compared to Titanic 3D, in my opinion.

Much Love,

Avg Girl

Vampire Academy coming to the Big Screen!!!

Not sure exactly if it will be this year or next year, but it has been announced! Someone that worked on Heathers (one of my fave movies), and someone that worked on Mean Girls (another movie I love) will be part of this movie so it's bound to be good, right? No cast has been announced but here is my dream cast:

Dimitri: Kelly Blatz (but I suppose, If Ben Barnes gets it then I can make do)

Tatiana: Judy Dench

Lissa: Taylor Momsen

Adrian: Well, honestly, there is a guy I know who likes like how I picture Adrian but well... protecting privacy and all that so no Facebook name for you! lol but well... maybe a pic

  ow ow! lol

and Janine Hathaway - Illeana Douglass (even though she is really tall) she looks like how i imagine Janine,, but shorter. and Illeana is so nice! I had the pleasure of meeting her briefly.

I have no idea who i want to play rose, i havent found anyone worthy yet.

Tasha is another person I don't know about, but I look like her! lol




Over the next few days, each day I will make a new post with summaries of each book along with my favorite quotes from each one.

If you haven't read this series yet, pick it up! You will love it! And know all of the information before it hits theaters.

What is your dream cast? Fave Book?

Much Love,

Avg Girl
