Just Checking In

Heyo! How are you? I hope that the first couple of weeks of 2023 has been treating you well! I wanted to do my first "housekeeping" post of 2023. Mostly because I didn't have anything else to post today and I need to keep in the groove of things.

I am going to keep this post as short as possible because I am writing this 15 hours before it has to go up. I was unprepared.

As you can tell, I am back! I've posted seven times already! Feel free to check those posts out if you haven't already. I am not trying to post daily, because as we've seen in the past I am not good at that and I get burned out very quickly.

So the schedule is as follows, I will post three times a week:

  • Monday - "That Time..."
    • I find a random interesting fact from history, do some research and write about it.
  • Wednesday - Misc.
    • Wild card. Anything is game. Where any future "Kinda Review" and ranking posts will go.
  • Friday - "Fangirl Friday"
    • I focus on someone I love and admire and I just write about them as a fan. In the past it has only ever been celebrities, but I have now added fictional characters.

I will no longer be doing "Casually Screaming". Those posts will become "Fangirl Friday". I will continue my "Kinda Review" posts about whatever piece of media takes my fancy. I have one planned for an upcoming album from one of my favorite bands. Of course, the "My Top x" ranking posts will also continue.

I figure posting three times a week is frequent enough while also giving me time for my fictional writing without my brain completely crashing and burning. Burn out is why I have never successfully posted actively on this blog. I would like at some point to be able to make a living blogging, but I am nowhere near that right now.

However, with that being said, I am not going to beat myself up if I miss a day like I used to. You can keep up with me on Twitter or my main Tumblr where I will update if I can't post anything as long as I know ahead of time. Though I admit my main Tumblr is a dumpster fire because I post daily and frequently so beware if that is how you choose to keep up with me. On the other hand I barely touch Twitter.

By the way, if you didn't already know, I write fanfiction. I know that it's something some people don't talk about or openly admit to, but I'm not ashamed of my work. If you are interested in reading my fictional writing, I post all of my fanfiction on Archive of Our Own and my writing Tumblr so you can have your pick because people prefer different sites to read! I write for a variety of franchises because my brain cannot just settle on one.

Whether you have been following this blog since 2017, or if you just found it today, thank you for any and all support. Just reading my silly ramblings is support. I write about history and entertainment because they are two things I am passionate about.

Here's to a successful 2023!

Zac Efron and Garrett Clayton are Basically the Same Person

I, a 21-year-old adult, is still a HUGE fan of the High School Musical franchise. In high school, had I been a better planner, I would have asked Lucas Grabeel to be my prom date. And even though I was older than most viewers, I did love Teen Beach Movie when it came out. In this post, I am going to explain how Zac Efron and Garrett Clayton are basically the same person. Let's start at the beginning. You may know Zac Efron as Troy Bolton in the Disney Channel Original Movie (or DCOM), High School Musical and it's franchise. He is the attractive blue-eyed, protagonist of all three HSM movies. And I will admit that I was a huge fangirl for him in my youth. Honestly, now I can't stand him. But that's for another post. Zac portrayed Troy in all three HSM films, but he only sang in the last two. That's right. Zac Efron did not sing in the first HSM movie. That was the amazingly talented Drew Seeley whom I will love till the day I die. Similarly, Garrett Clayton pl

Is Marvin from Falsettos Abusive? And Why is He Such an Easy Character to Hate?

Is Marvin abusive? Short answer: yes. Long answer: You've come to the right place. "I love my tight-knit family. I love the way they cook linguine." Let's get this out of the way, this blog, as all of my blog posts are, is 100% my opinion. Unless stated directly that it is fact, this is all what's going on in my mind. Thoughts from a fangirl, if you will. Also I have to use Spotify to link the songs, because the entire 2016 revival cast album is not on YouTube and I know the revival album better than the original albums. Also this post is going to be long because I'm actually going through actual lines from the musical. I am going to try to sprinkle some photos into this post. "Lovers come and lovers go." Listen to "Marvin Hits Trina" on Spotify. Let's start with the most obvious: Marvin hits Trina after learning that she's going to marry Mendel. Where can you find this scene? In "Marvin Hits Trina". It'

That Time A President Conducted Meetings from the Toilet

Happy Monday! Another week ahead. This week's weird moment from history is how President Lyndon B. Johnson conducted meetings and interviews while on the toilet. I learned way too much about LBJ while doing research for this post and it is going to be a LONG time before I write another weird history post about him. But there will be at least another one in the future. Man was weird. Quick history lesson for my non-Americans who may not know who LBJ is. Lyndon Baines Johnson was the 36th President of the United States. He assumed the position following the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He was president from 1963 til 1969. NOW if you're like me and you grew up with the rewatching the movie Forrest Gump over and over again your first introduction to LBJ might be when Forrest was being honored with the Medal of Honor and showed the president where he was "shot in the buttocks" during the Vietnam War.  I haven't watched Forrest Gump in years, but if you haven't
