Brainy's the new sexy

I sometimes like to think that in A Scandal in Belgravia when Sherlock was stuttering at the end of his dream with Irene when he said “I-“he was going to say “I love you”
And that the reason that when he woke up, he asked John where she was because even though he and the Woman had just briefly met, he believed they had a connection, and he didn’t want to let that go.
Now changing the subject to Lara Pulver, who did the most magnificent job of making this character come to life. It obviously wasn't easy, and she just did it so well and portrayed Irene so many different ways [being nice, clever, sneaky, sexy] and she just completely outdid herself with this role. I give her so much credit for it, and I think she should get more kudos than she actually does for this. I'd honestly love to see a return if Irene Adler for season 3, trouble being it has to work around the books by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I hope to see a return for Irene soon....

A Cold Night on Baker Street

 Here's a piece of writing I worked on today...not quite sure where I'm going with it though. Enjoy! :)
-----------------------------
It’s a quiet night in 221B Baker street. It’s winter, and there’s a cold draft blowing through the apartment. Not powerful, but just enough to make the hair stand up on Molly’s arms and produce goosebumps.
    A protective arm is latched around her waist. The hand belongs to her newlywed husband of six months. The grip tightens as Molly shivers from the bitter cold that suddenly hits.  Molly leans upward and reaches to the end of the bed where she and Sherlock had nearly kicked them off in their sleep, and dragged them up toward she and him.
    The motion caused Sherlock to stir beside her as his grip loosened.
“Are you alright?” He asked, as he sat up, suddenly startling his wife. He placed one of his hands to her side and the other to wrap around her neck and chest to give her a hug, planting a kiss on her cheek.
“Yes, just cold.” She responded. She knew he’d have a fit as soon as she told him. He always tried his hardest to make his Molly comfortable in the best way possible.
“I might have some extra blankets, let me check in the closet.” he announced, releasing his grip entirely and stood to exit the room.
    She watched him leave as he made his way into the closet in the hallway.
He soon returned with a large wool type blanket of sorts and shook it out to cover it over Molly.
    He stood next to her, hugged her, then moved his arms up and down her back to produce some kind of friction to warm her up.
She giggled at the sweet gesture and casually responds “Yeah.”
He climbs back into bed and he returns to his dominant spot as her protector, wrapping that same protective arm around her waist again as they both drift fast asleep.

What I'm reading now

I'm currently reading "Montmorency" by Eleanor Updale.

It's a Sherlock Holmes type ordeal that takes place in around the same time period.
I did get "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green for Christmas, and I'm so stoked to read it.

Doctor Who fan or not?

So I'd like to bring up a topic that many people may or may not talk about in the US, but is a concerning one on my part.
I've heard from several people that if you haven't seen [Doctors] 9 and 10, than you aren't a real fan of Doctor Who.
Some say that if 11 was your first doctor, you're still not a fan.
 Well let's see; I can name all of the characters and past companions [Sob Amy and Rory] and I understand the concept of the show, and I know what Daleks are and whatnot. The list goes on people.
I find it ridiculous that people feel the need to judge me on such things.
Hey, at least I've given 10 a try, I haven't seen any of 9, but I've watched 10. And yes, I understand that they're different writers, and no, I'm not just watching the newest seasons of Doctor Who because Steven Moffat wrote them, I'm watching it simply because it grabs my interest, and it's something that I like. Now I wouldn't want to be watching 10 if I didn't find him that interesting, would I? Most likely neither would you.
So don't judge people on how late they hop on bandwagons.
Thank you~

Females portrayed as weak and defenceless

   I just want to clarify something. Just because I'm a woman, doesn't mean that I'm weak. And many people-especially peers that I go to school with- feel the need to judge women on what they should and shouldn't do. For a long time, women have been pushed around by men, been told what to do, been told that they're more superior and intelligent than us. But that isn't the case. We shouldn't be categorized as the people who should "Be in the kitchen" or being the "stay at home mother". We should be able to go out there, and get a job, and do things of that nature without getting criticized. One of the issues today is that people can be very judgemental on topics such as these, especially young adults-like myself- like to be aware of topics like this. One of the problems that I face as a 15 year old sophomore is sexuality. I'm openly bisexual, and I'm not afraid for people to know. What a lot of people forget is that not everyone is straight, so for instance [this is an example of something that can be and is fairly common in middle school or elementary school, and even the beginning of high school] say I was to sit down next to a boy, and I started kindly chatting with him. I would most likely be put under the category of dating that person just because of that simple act that I performed. But yet, it seems as though if I talk to a girl, the same doesn't happen. They assume that you're acquaintances or friends.
      Moving to another example, in today's world, we are in a society that judges greatly on looks. Whether it's how much makeup you put on, or how thin you are. People expect you to be perfect. Many girls, young adults, women, of all ages suffer from the pressure of society to tell you and show you how you should look; how you're supposed to look. I'm not perfect, and I'm not thin or skinny, or even flawless. I'm not any of those things. But I'm not saying that you should just go around and put yourself down all the time, I'm telling you that you shouldn't let the pressure of society get to you. You're your own person and you need to have an idea in your head of what you want for yourself. Say you want to lose 15 pounds. Make that happen, plan it out, and you can succeed in doing the task. But whether it's plastic surgery, or botox or something of that nature, you're still not perfect. You've modified your appearance to be something that you don't it to be because of the pressure of society. You don't have to look cover girl beautiful or have a perfect body to determine whether you're a good person or not.
Another thing is masculinity. Girls today-especially in comics- are portrayed as skinny, but strong girls. I'm not complaining about the figure, but I think it would be reasonable that the creators would put some meat on their bones. It seems nearly impossible for a girl that weighs 100 pounds to go ahead and lift a car that weighs innumerable tons.
      The other day I was in Target with my 23 year old cousin, and he pointed out an action figure that was a female Hulk. He made a very reasonable comment on how the figure was barely strong, but yet, the original Hulk was larger, and looked more angry.
Do women not have the same emotions as they do now? Or is it just stereotypical to assume that women never get angry? That we're not strong?
It's ridiculous. And as a 15 year old, I still have my whole life ahead of me to help and make problems like this change.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Well, Peter Jackson had done it again. He's directed another amazing and attention grabbing film that includes slight comedic sections, and some very sorrow moments. Peter Jackson has done a remarkable job on recreating “The Hobbit”, a book written by J. R. R. Tolkien, an English World War I veteran. The author also wrote the “Lord of the Rings” Trilogy, which includes “The Fellowship of the Ring”, “The Two Towers”, and “The Return of the King”, written in the mid 1900's.

“The Hobbit” starts out as a quaint and calm setting at the Shire, where Bilbo Baggins and his nephew Frodo Baggins live a quiet and simple life. At this time, it begins with Bilbo writing his verbose story. The entire movie is Bilbo the elder (Ian Holm) telling his story about his adventure. The younger past tense Bilbo Baggins, is portrayed by Martin Freeman of “Sherlock” and UK's “The Office”. 

Bilbo's personality is extremely unappealing in the least. He is shown as a grumpy man who becomes more and more irritated with things easily. He does not wish to leave his residence at the Shire, and is used to a monotonous and quiet life in his Hobbit Hole. 

Bilbo's task is to bring 12 dwarfs who have been misplaced from their home due to the terrifying dragon, Smaug.

Smaug is to be voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch off of the hit BBC series "Sherlock" And is rumoured to also be voicing The Necromancer.

 Cumberbatch, 36, has also been recently cast as the villainous John Harrison in the new Star Trek movie, Star Trek: Into Darkness. The movie is set to be released in May of 2013.

Over time, Bilbo becomes more and more audacious and begins to explore his adventurous side throughout the movie. From holding a sword for the first time, to being held upside-down by a troll, ready to be cooked, Bilbo nearly turns back and leaves the pack of 13 dwarfs he went on this adventure with. 

Whether or not he leaves is for you to find out. The movie was an overall solid 3 and a half out of four, and I recommend it for anyone who likes to enjoy a bit of action, along with some heartfelt moments in between.
