Author: Aleria Holmes

Hey guys! I’m back and I’ve searched through that list of blog ideas high and low, and I decided to explore my astrological sign. I know tons about my astrological sign, but I want to look for descriptions of my signs, tendencies, and misconceptions to see if they match me. Before we get started, I just want to say I’m not big on astrology, I don’t even know my big 3 I’m more into faith and not coincidences but nothing against people who believe in it.  

What Am I? 

I am a September Libra for reference. Libras are the 7th astrological sign. I’ll start by giving a few basic facts about my sign. Libra is an air sign along with Gemini, and Aquarius. This sign ranges from September 22nd to October 23rd. The symbol is Scales. The ruling planet is Venus. The stone is an Opal, and the zodiac quality is Cardinal. Libra represents a balanced scale most likely because the Sun passed across the face of the constellation at the time of the autumnal equinox in September, when day and night are of roughly equal length, so the heavens are considered “balanced”.  

Aleria vs. Libra 

Now let’s get to the comparisons. “Libra is obsessed with symmetry and strives to create equilibrium in all areas of life. These air signs are the aesthetes of the zodiac: Ruled by Venus, the planet that governs love, beauty, and money, Libras adore high art, intellectualism, and connoisseurship.” I can agree with this wholeheartedly. I love symmetry, everything I do has to have structure, stability, and be the exact same if I am doing something that requires more than one thing. I am obsessed with love as you all can probabaly see through my writing. I truly consider myself to be a hopeless romantic, but I don’t know how true that may be lol. Beauty is more of a fun thing for me it distracts whenever I’m thinking too much I just do ym hair or makeup, and I love money as anybody else would say. As far as Intellectualism and high art I enjoy them both but I think as a writer I have to love them. 

“Libras want to avoid conflict at any cost, which means they put themselves last most of the time. Their self-sacrificing nature can be great for their loved ones but often leave Libras feeling burnt out and unappreciated. That toxic positivity can take a major toll on their self-confidence.” I do try to keep conflict to a minimum. I used to blow up over every little situation but over the years I have learned that not every action deserves a reaction and that I can be calm while getting my point across. I’ve stopped caring to the point where I don’t feel like I have to get my point across at all. I do feel as if I have a self-sacrificing nature as well but I am also selfish but in a good way. Like remembering to take time for myself, love me, and make sure that I have everything that I need before I give to others. Sometimes I do get that burnt out, unappreciated feeling but so does everyone. It doesn’t really affect my confidence but I know it does for others. 

“Libra is another one of those signs that will stay quiet when something is off. Their sign is represented by the scales, so they’re all about harmony and keeping the peace. However, there’s only so much a person can take.” ‘When their sense of balance is being thrown off-kilter, Libras will go silent,’ Montúfar says. I really do pay attention to everything around me and if one little thing changes red flags start to raise and red buzzers begin to blare loud as a train. I can’t ignore it, so I store it in the back of my mind and I continue to watch for other flags and as more and more flags appear the further and further I step away from that person or thing. After so long I’ll attempt to have a talk and if the person brushes me off after asking then I simply become quiet and fully remove myself from the situation.  

“As one of the most romantic signs of the zodiac, Libras have a way of making your love story unfold in a magical way. They are sweet, affectionate, and attentive. They always seem to know the right words to say and how to treat a partner the right way. Also, they like to be pursued.” This is my favorite quote yet. I do consider Libras the most romantic because of the way I have seen libras treat one another as well as other signs. We only know one way to love people and that way is so healthy and infectious that it teaches others how to love as well. People have told me I’m a smooth talker and I don’t hate the idea of being pursued, I love a good chase, but I don’t like one-sided chases. I like for me and my presumed partner to chase one another.   

That’s all for today guys! I know this ended abruptly but it was starting to get too long, who knows I may even make it a series, stay tuned. Bye !!! 

Hey guys, I’m back and once again I am OUT OF IDEAS!!!!! Blogging is fun, because I can write about whatever I want, however I want, and whenever I want. It’s so hard to keep ideas flowing and motivation coming in though so that makes it difficult but nevertheless I have dug out another topic that is near and dear to my heart. The topic is shoes! (Wooo,*round of applause*) I love shoes, I have wayyy too many, especially crocs, and in this blog, I’ll be telling you guys about a few pairs of shoes that I have quickly become obsessed with and want so bad. Now I wear all types of shoes from $30 hey dude’s to $200 Doc Martens to $300 Jordans and beyond. I’m very picky about my shoes, but only for looks, not for the price or the brand, I couldn’t care less about that. I’ll be showing pics of the shoes, the brand, telling you why I want them, the price and if I think it’s reasonable. 

So, the first shoe is really simple and that is the Black Cat 4’s. They are Jordan’s and I think my favorite style of Jordan has to be the 4’s or the 11’s. I have a pair of 4’s and I really love them. They’re comfortable, easy to put on, and they just look great. I want the black cat’s because they’re all black DUH! They’ll go with literally any outfit I put on and the ones I have now are white so they wouldn’t get as dirty as those. My shoes rarely get dirty and if they do it’s only a little bit so that’s not a major discrepancy. Since their release date the price has ranged from $75 to $750 which is outrageous, but the retail price is $190 which isn’t bad AT ALL compared to what some of these Jordan’s are going for now and days, so I think it’s a great price, especially since my size is always in high demand. 

The second shoe is the Nike Dunk SB Low Bling Baroque Brown. Long name lol, anyways this shoe is so cute to me. It reminds me a lot of winter time and Santa Claus I don’t know why but it satisfies my inner child who wanted light up barbie shoes for the rest of my life. The details that went into these shoes are incredible. From the placement of the fur to the bling and the star on the bottom of the inside sole. The white and variations of brown are so cute to me. I love everything about this shoeeee. These are between $149 and $519 right now but they have begun retailing for $110 in the last few months, so this price is reasonable as well. 

The third shoe is the New Balance 2002R Protection Pack Pink. I absolutely adore this shoe y’all. I’ve been wanting it since around Christmas, but I’m trying to keep my priorities straight and save my money or spend it when necessary. Anyways, I love the different variations of pink. I love the rustic, deformed look. New Balance is a brand known for providing comfort, so I know these will be softer than clouds, and I wear lots of pink, so these will make good outfits. The retail price settled at $150 in September so these are more than affordable for me, but I may just end up getting them in the summer when I’m working more and not having to stock my dorm with food, and everything.  

That’s all for today guys I think my next blog may be more shoes or clothes that I want so we’ll see. Bye!!! 

Hey guys! For today’s blog I have no idea what to write about so I’m deciding on my favorite little cartoon/ tv show. Yep, you’ve guessed it, the show is SpongeBob SquarePants. SpongeBob is probably the funniest thing I have ever watched on cable television. I can’t even begin to pick a favorite episode, but if I had to choose then I would pick the one where Squidward said he hated Krabby Patties then ended up eating all of them and had thunder thighs which then exploded. 

Or maybe the one where SpongeBob and Patrick were chased all day simply because the man wanted some of the chocolate they were selling, but they convinced themselves the man was trying to kill them so continued running away and hiding for the entire episode ands at the end the man finally caught up to them and bought all their chocolate. 

I could pick the episode where SpongeBob broke his handy dandy spatula. He took it to the hospital and did “surgery” on it, which consisted of wrapping it with tape and putting it in a wheelchair and it ended up breaking again. He ended up with a new high-tech one. The spatula talked and could control itself, but he didn’t know that, eventually he lost control of it, and it turned against him, beat him and cooked orders the way it wanted. 

There was also an episode where SpongeBob was running around on the ceiling and the walls making Krabby patties as fast as possible and he was about to fall but his spatula got stuck between two pieces of wood and saved him but he got too comfortable and it slipped and he fell and got a splinter in his thumb, and instead of going to the doctor he kept trying to pull it out himself and almost knocked himself out. He asked Patrick and he pretended to be a doctor and poured garbage on top of it. Squidward scared him by saying that if Mr. Krabs saw it that he would put him on temporary probation and he wouldn’t be able to go to work and that broke his little spirit. SpongeBob ended up just avoiding Mr. Krabs by hiding in the bathroom all day and his wound got more infected until it was green and big as a balloon. Mr. Krabs eventually found him and all he did was remove the thorn/splinter, SpongeBob’s thumb deflated, and he went back to work. 

I think my all-time favorite is the episode with Doodle Bob. That episode was unreal. If I remember correctly SpongeBob had doodled on a sheet of paper and I think Patrick got into his library and tore pages out of his books and Doodle Bob came off the page. He was an evil paper version of SpongeBob, and he was evil. He had this huge pencil, and he would draw and erase things off people in real life. He tortured SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, and the whole town for some time. It was quite funny. In the end they catch him and slam the book down on him and he goes back onto the page. 

That’s all for today guys, I hope this was entertaining, if not tell me in the comments, thanks, see ya next week! 

Hi guys!!! I’m back for this week’s blog and if I’m being honest, I’m really running out of ideas, but I don’t think I’ve done a music related post yet. In this blog I’ll be talking about some songs on my playlist that I have been wearing out. I listen to all genres of music so I pretty much listen to anything, but this is a specific genre of music and it’s mostly 70’s and 80’s bands, but one of them may be in the 90’s I don’t know if I’m going to include it or not though. This music is heavy metal, hard rock, and pop metal mostly.  

1. The first band is AC/DC 

Highway to hell is a song I hold near and dear to my heart. It came out in 1979 and I’ve known about it for a while but have recently become obsessed with it. Coincidently I usually listen to it while driving which is so funny to me. This song is so freeing to me, and I love the beginning. “Livin’ easy 
Lovin’ free” 

This makes me feel like I have no care in the world and I’m just living and enjoying life. 

“No stop signs 
Speed limit 
Nobody’s gonna slow me down 
Like a wheel 
Gonna spin it 
Nobody’s gonna mess me around” 

This is my song I play while driving home so I’m usually on the highway and this song makes me feel unstoppable. There are no traffic lights, there is a speed limit, but most people usually ignore it.  

“I’m on the highway to hell 
Highway to hell 
I’m on the highway to hell 
Highway to hell 
Don’t stop me” 

Then finally the chorus kicks in and I start to feel like I’m in a rock band myself. I’m beating on the steering wheel and shaking my head back and forth, it’s such a liberating feeling and at the end when it says “don’t stop me” it makes me think of the police. 

1. The second band is Bon Jovi 

I think it’s safe to say they are my favorite band of all time. Bed of roses is my favorite song they’ve ever produced. From the rhythm to the lyrics, and emotions I just love everything about this song. 

“Sitting here wasted and wounded 
At this old piano 
Trying hard to capture 
The moment this morning I don’t know” 

The beginning starts slow and steady speaking about him trying to get over a hangover the next morning and it makes you wonder why he was drunk in the first place. 

“’Cause a bottle of Vodka’s still lodged in my head 
And some blonde gave me nightmares 
Think that she’s still in my bed 
As I dream about movies 
They won’t make of me when I’m dead” 

Then it shifts to him talking about a random woman he probably had a one-night stand with and the movies they won’t make about him is probably because he doesn’t think he’s good enough to have his own movie which really uncovers my own self-doubt and helps me to release it. 

“I want to lay you down in a bed of roses 
For tonight I’ll sleep on a bed of nails 
Oh I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is 
And lay you down on a bed of roses” 

This song makes me think a lot about my significant other and how I would do anything for them so sleeping on a bed of nails while they slept on a bed of roses wouldn’t even require thought from me, I would just do it. The holy ghost brings a religious feature in here and shows how close he wants to be with his partner who isn’t with him at the moment. That line is contradicting the entire song because he’s trying to express how much he loves and cares for her while he’s cheating on her with the blonde woman. 

Hey guys! I am back and if I am being honest, I forgot I had to write a blog so uhm here is something off my life of ideas. Today I will be telling you guys about my favorite streamer. My favorite twitch streamer is Duke Dennis. He doesn’t have any negative people or energy around him. He is very honest and true to himself. He does not do things that do not align with his morals and core values just for views or entertainment. He is extremely funny and entertaining without even trying. His language can be foul, and he can say some kind of rude things but that’s only if you take it that way. He never really says anything rude to people, but he may say those things in general. I like that he does not play games every time he streams, and if he does play games, he does other things before that. He reacts to other streamers and youtubers, he has conversations with his friends about things going on in the world, and he also does p.o. box openings. He plays games like NBA 2k, outlast, overwatch, Fortnite, and grand theft auto. He is always open to trying new games and to playing with new people.  

He is in a group called AMP (Any Means Possible) and they are all streamers/youtubers. The name shows that they will succeed by any means possible, and they will not give up on their dreams. They all work extremely hard and have great content. They make videos together and separately and it never fails to make me laugh. Duke has brought his mom a home, he always talks about how that was his number 1 goal and how proud he is of himself that he was able to accomplish that. All the AMP members live in a huge mansion. It makes it easier to schedule their video shoots, and easier to make content if they all live under one roof. AMP has game nights where all 6 members play and whoever wins gets a cash prize or a gift. I believe that is one reason why their bond is so strong now. He is a quick leaner when it comes to games, and he is always engaging with the chat whether he is gaming or not. He never tries to get any money out of his supporters, and I really admire that. 

Okay, so prommmmmmm season is HEREEEE! I’m so very excited! I love dressing up, taking pictures, and being cute. Today is Tuesday March 21st and prom is on Saturday March 25th. There is so much time but no time at all. Oh my gosh, I have so much to do. I have to customize my suitemate and I’s wigs. I have to do my friend’s hair Thursday as well as get my nails and toes done. I haven’t even decided what nail design I’m getting yet. I have to do my suitemate and I’s hair Friday. I have to do another one of my classmate’s hair on Saturday.  

I still need to go find silver glitter eyeshadow and a new concealer for my makeup look, because I’m running out. I also need some black hair dye. (For my wig, I’ll never go black.) I need to get my nails done Thursday. My dress is black, and the top is a little sparkly. It has a see through corset in the middle with the back out and it’s lace up. It’s very long with a high thigh slit, and I have some platform black heels to go with it. 

I have some silver jewelry and this cute little hair clip that’s going in my updo. My wig is black, and I’m going to have an updo with curls in the front. I still don’t know exactly what my makeup is going to look like, but I do know what colors I’m using and what shape the shadow will be. Ohhhh I also have some sparkly little gems that are going on my eyes and it’s going to be so CUTE! You guys do not understand how excited I am. I only want to take pictures and dance. Everything else is just a plus. I am obsessed with my look and how it’s coming together. I can’t wait to put everything on at once.  

I’m a part of prom committee so I know how prom is going to look, since I’m helping to decorate. It’s coming along pretty well, and we have lots of help so everything should be done in time, no problem. I’m head of the cleaning committee, so after prom I have to help clean up everything before I go home, which is insane. There are no after parties or anything going on so that’s kind of weird. I’m used to over the top proms. Like met gala like proms, where people spend thousands of dollars preparing for prom and have parties before and after. They rent or buy cars for the line-up and all meet and take pictures before going to prom. This is a really different experience for me, because it’s kind of treated as any other day and people come as they are. It’s more comfortable to prepare for but not as exotic as I’m used to. I want to show you what I’m wearing, but that will probably be in next week’s blog after prom is over, and I’ll give all the details of where I got everything and how much it cost. That’s neither here nor there MSA prom 2023 HERE I COME! You guys should look out for me… 🙂  

Hi guys! I am here with yet another blog. I do not even know how many blogs I have posted but it has been a lot and I am really running out of ideas so today I am going to be talking about some romance novels that I would like to read, but I will only be talking about one in this blog. I will most likely end up making this a series. I think I may find books that I am interested in reading and guess their plots or what events take place in the book, and after I read it, I will come back and say what I got right, wrong, and what else happens, I do not know if I will actually stick to that because I am so indecisive. 

1. Ignite Me  

First up is a novel called “Ignite Me” by Tahereh Mafi. This book is part of a series called Shatter Me. There are 11 books in the series, and they all have “me” in the title. They go in this order. Shatter me, destroy me, unravel me, fracture me, ignite me, restore me, and finally shadow me. All of these books interest me. I do not really know why but they strike something in me and the “me” in the title makes the books feel so personal which I love. Featzreviews.com describes this book as a “dystopian fiction that tells the story of a teenage girl who has never been able to experience human touch. Labelled a freak, she finds herself locked up in an asylum where she is left in complete isolation until the re-establishment decides that they want to use her as a weapon.  

This book is so appealing to me because I love anything romantic, dramatic, and especially odd. I am assuming she has some form of powers or unnatural ability because they want to use her as a weapon but who knows? I am going to go look for this book in the library. If I do not find it, then I will definitely order it online. After I finish reading it, I will come back and update you guys on what happens, because then I will be able to fully review the book. I wonder why there are so many books in the series? I am not complaining, but I am very curious. Do you know how much can happen in 11 books? That is a lot! She must have so much patience and discipline to write a series because I could never, but I am still going to read all of them.  

Okay, so hi everybody and as usual I have no idea what to do for this week’s blog soooo I guess I’ll be doing a character analysis of Joe Goldberg from the Netflix series “You.” Joe’s name in real life is Penn Badgley, but that’s irrelevant right now.  

Joe is a book fanatic who started off working in a library. He was abused as a child and eventually turned into an orphan where the library owner found him getting into trouble and took him in. As a result of his childhood, Joe clings to people and forms strange attachments to them. Joe doesn’t even have to know a person to become attached to them. If he looks at you and finds you appealing, then no matter how hard he tries, he can’t stay away from you. After Joe starts to find you appealing, he then wants to get to know every little thing about you and that can be a very good or a very bad thing. It can only be decided by how the person treats Joe.  

Joe doesn’t get to know a person like you and I. Getting to know a person usually happens by talking to a person, spending time with them, etc. Joe gets to know them by stalking them essentially. He watches everything they do, every place they go, and every they like. The person doesn’t usually notice the stalking right away. It usually takes a couple of weeks, after Joe starts to get sloppy. Then Joe creates this fake scenario in real life where he pretends to run into this person on accident, and then gets to know them. After the encounter with Joe most of them usually grasp a memory and realize that this isn’t the first time they’ve seen Joe, and then they get scared. Remember I said most! 

After Joe meets the person, everything he does next depends solely on the person’s reaction. If they get scared, want to call the police, or they confront Joe about what he’s been doing then he usually ends up locking them in a soundproof box he has in the basement of the library, or he knocks them unconscious and tries to resolve with them when they wake up, or he just denies everything they’ve said, but the people that he tends to cling to are typically highly intelligent so they won’t go for the lies. 

If they seem calm about it and they continue to interact with him as they would any other normal person, then he gets scared. Joe starts to panic, and Joe usually doesn’t panic. Everything he does is methodical, logical, and well thought out. Joe is a master of control. Anything out of his control scares him. If they are calm about it then he runs, and it’s only one person within the series that his ever been calm about his crazy, and she married him. Her name was Love. He, of course, couldn’t take it because their marriage wasn’t built on love it was built on the fact that they killed for one another and they held it over each other’s heads, so they felt like they owed each other something. They also had a child, but unfortunately Joe had to leave him behind with a nice family when joe killed his mother. In Joe’s defense Love did try to kill him first and he only killed her because of that, and he didn’t want his son to grow up to be like him. 

 I find Joe’s character very relatable and kind of funny to be honest. I don’t know if that makes me cynical or not, but that’s all for today’s blog see you guys next week! 

Hey guys! 

 It’s been a long week and honestly, I have no inspiration for my blog this week. I usually have my soul set on something special or particular that I’ve been eager to talk about but not this week, so I guess we’ll just rate more transformers, since they always boost my spirits. However, I’m tired so these will probably be the lowest ratings ever. 

Megatron: -10,000,000,000/0 

Okay starting off with Megatron. THIS DUDE SUCKSSSS! He is the leader of the decepticons but he isn’t a leader at all. His powers are kind of cool, but I will never openly admit it because he sucks so much. He’s old as dirt and makes all the other decepticons to do his dirty work. The only time he fights for himself is when Optimus Prime challenges him because he knows that Optimus Prime will tear through any other decepticon put in front of him. Megatron still always loses. I was so happy when he was put away for good, but somehow, he always finds a way to bring his old metal crawling back. 

Star Scream: 100/10 

Okay, I thought I would hate every transformer in this blog, but I love Star scream, even though he’s a decepticon. He’s really cool, but his colors remind me of the American flag and America is deceptive. He’s really sneaky, but loud at the same time. He has these huge shoulder guns that look like they could be rockets. 

Soundwave: 50/10 

He has these beautiful blues surrounding his metal frame, and even though he’s a sneaky spy, I love his intelligence. He spies on the autoboots to get information on them. He’s like a cool tech guy instead of a nerd. Not that I have anything against nerds. He just makes decoding data, and intercepting signals look so cool. 

Arcee: 1,000/10 

Next! Arcee is a bright pink autobot. She has these super long legs and boy does she know how to use them. She was/is a science bot who didn’t really have any interest in fighting until the war between the decepticons and autobots started. She’s very quick and is certainly lethal when she pulls out her crossbow. Since Arcee is a science bot she sometimes uses a technology that allows her to control up to 3 bodies all at once. I think she’s great! 

Okay guys, that’s all for this week’s blog see you guys next week. I’m going to take a nap now. 

Byeeee! 

Hey guys! My week has been going pretty well surprisingly, but I am a little sad internally. That’s okay though, because today’s blog is going to make me feel so much better. Today I’m going to be talking about my all-time favorite transformers. If you know me, you know I’ve wanted to be a transformer since I was little, and I still do. I solely believe that one day I will gain superpowers or change form or something of that nature. I’m more into the protagonists which are auto-bots than the antagonists which are decepticons. If you’ve never watched transformers, this may be a lot to take in, but it’s worth it, and I definitely recommend watching it.  

The first transformer I have is a decepticon and his name is Bone Crusher. He is so funny to me. He has this arm/claw that seems like it belongs on a forklift or a crane or something and he grabs people, or other transformers with it. Whatever he grabs usually ends up dead or smashed. His medical feet can also fold in, and these wheels come down and he starts skating. His ability to skate is my favorite attribute about him. I also really love his tan/khaki color. The neutral color really fits his off-putting demeanor.  

The second transformer which is my favorite transformer and maybe even my favorite thing of all time and he is BUMBLEBEE!!! Even though he is young and may not have many weapons, he always seems to be successful in battle. I really like the way he and Sam bonded. It is so intriguing to me. When he first came to Earth he couldn’t speak, and he was a very old car. He then adapted a newer model car, and his vocal cords were fixed by the team’s medic so eventually he began to speak. When he started speaking their relationship grew even stronger. Bumblebee always protected Sam and Sam did the same. They went everywhere together, and they were miserable without one another. Who knew a sports car could be a human’s soulmate? 

The third transformer I really love is Optimus Prime. Optimus Prime was one of the first transformers. He is literally ancient and has saved so many lives. He’s like the sweet grandpa that teaches his grandkids how to tie their shoes or how to use the potty. He has some cool colors too, red and blue with flames on his chest. He is just an iconic transformer over all, and he knows the history of their species and how to defeat historic decepticons who mean no good. 

Til next time guys, see you next week!
