New Year, Same Me 2020

Hello! Here is my first post of 2020!

This is year number four of this blog. I started it on New Years 2017 and have been posting ever since.

I didn't post at all in January, and I didn't want to leave you hanging, so I figured I'd catch you up on what's going on in my life!

So 2020 is going to be the second year my household does not have Wi-Fi. For those who don't know I am an American being screwed over by capitalism. My family cannot afford Wi-Fi and I don't live in an area where I feel comfortable walking somewhere and whipping my laptop out. So until further notice posts will be slow and rare.

However, with that being said, I am always taking requests for blog posts. What do you want me to talk about? I will write about almost everything. Except politics. No politics here.

Also, since my last personal post, I have joined the team over at noisetrend as a contributer! Which is lowkey a dream come true. I only have one article up on the site, but I look forward to writing more as time goes on!

This blog isn't going anywhere, but I want you to know as much as I love writing and posting on it, it is SO hard to keep up without Wi-Fi. The mobile version of Blogger both the app and the site SUCK! They need to make it more user-friendly.

I didn't really give myself a New Year's resolution because I can't keep up with them. I just hope that I may be able to be more active than I was last year. My goal is to have a post once a week, but we'll see.

Also! This blog has hit 10k views. That makes me so happy because I love running this blog and want to one day potentially run it full time as my job. It's unrealistic, but it's a dream.

If you have a suggestion for what I should write a post about you can email me at mccarthaevita@gmail.com. Or you can just send in a form.

Thank you so much for the support you have shown me over the past three years. I greatly appreciate it more than words can say. I am beyond blown away by your support and comments. Thanks you! I look forward to many more years on this blog.

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...
