Brand New

Hello. I seem to get in the mood to post late at nights. Anyways, hope everyone is doing good, if not, then I hope you're day/night gets better. Been busy lately, got my gift shopping done, cleaning done, helped with my niece when she was sick, and kept up with The Walking Dead (returns February 12th!!). And, worked on new books. So far, I plan on releasing a new one soon. It's a psychological suspense that's supposed to play on the mind. Drew the front cover, which you can see the front cover on my Instagram at username Ariana_Torralba91 . It's violent too, but most of my horror and suspense usually are. Good way to get any bottled up anger out. Writing is my anger management... So is music. And coffee. To let you know, it's not a zombie apocalypse book. But has about the same amount of violence, gore, and swearing as When The Dead Came series.
Another book I'm working on is opposite of the suspense. It's a mix of comedy/romance/drama, just to take a break from the gore and violence. Plan on releasing that on on Valentine's Day.
Look forward to a little more about the psychological suspense book.

Hello Everyone

I do a lot of late night posts. Anyways, been busy. Had a great past weekend with my son, we had fun. Babysat my niece, we set the tree up. And helped take care of her while sick. Currently, I want to write, but not sure what. Drinking coffee too.
Back to trying any luck on okcupid... Same as before. And still making new friends. Have a bad case of writers block though. I don't know, overworked mind I guess. Should take a break, but I won't. Been thinking of going back to writing movie scripts like I used to do.
Christmas is coming soon, then before i know it, stores will have Valentine's day crap out.
I never really liked valentines day. Not because I don't have anyone to spend it with, but the fact that I tend to have something bad happen on that day. Last valentines was awesome because the walking dead came back on that day. It'll take some time to talk about past valentines, so I'll just do that another time. Aside from that holiday, don't mind the others.
Sorry, rambling while trying to figure out what to write.

Love

Another Late Night Post

Hey everyone. Still awake, I'm supposed to get up early tomorrow, but everyone is still awake and technically my "bed" is the couch. And no one is showing signs of going to bed anytime soon. I got shot in the mouth by a plastic arrow. I was checking my phone, and my sister decided to fire a plastic arrow at me, thinking it wouldn't hurt... It hurt. It hurt like hell. Mouth went numb and a tooth hurts a little bit, bled for a short moment then stopped; but my upper lip feels numb and possibly bruised. A bit swollen. She threatened to do it again.
I have such a loving family, huh. Earlier my niece hit me a few times for accidentally knocking her strawberry shake over. In my defense, she left it sitting on the couch beside a couple of bags that I was going to put up. Could be worse. My sister might shoot the bb gun at me for fun. Sometimes, I assume she doesn't like me much. Purposely trying to injure me every week.
Listening to The Little Things Give You Away. Linkin Park soldier. Their music makes me feel better (I discussed this in the last post).
You can now find me on Linkin Park's site now. I used to be on there but deactivated my account, my husband at the time didn't like me being on their site. Oddly, he acted jealous of the band. Couldn't even hang up my poster.
But, was doing an updated post. Here's hoping that my upper lip doesn't bruise and my tooth stops hurting. My sister is lucky I don't have a bad temper like my brothers. As my little brother said before, I'd likely snap one day. Haha. Goodnight everyone.

Late Night Post

Hello everyone. Feeling great, no longer sick, short from allergies. Been listening to my Linkin Park cds lately. Anyone else a Linkin Park fan? I am. Been a fan since Hybrid Theory. I was a kid and I remember telling my oldest brother (deceased) I wanted Linkin Park's cd for Christmas. I was happy, I still have the cd to this day... It actually has outlasted my other cds from over the years. I remember saving the money up too to join the LPU, but the money was stolen. Still haven't had a chance to join, but I still hope to one day. At one point in my teens, I started listening to other bands and that resorted in depression and phases. During my second, terrible relationship, I finally got Minutes To Midnight. Took me out of that phase and depression. Strength to let go of that guy. Same with my third ex.
Their music has always had a profound impact on my life. I'm more cheerful and feel better about myself and everything. Even when I was pregnant, the first time I felt my son kick was to Burn It Down.
I remember being younger, I actually used to have a crush on Rob Bourdon. Brad Delson... Mike Shinoda. (my sister had a crush on Chester Bennington). But, now that I'm older, I developed respect for the band (no longer crushes) because of the amazing work they do: Charities, Music For Relief, their work. They're good influences for others, hopefully my son can learn from their influences. Hell, he's already influenced by their music. Almost three and he loves to play the drums and guitar. So, a thank you to my all time favorite band, Linkin Park, for the influences in my life. Their music for taking me out of depression and self hate. I plan to donate to Music For Relief in the (near) future. I hope.
Can't wait for heir new album.

Love
Ariana (Linkin Park fan since Hybrid Theory)

Passing The Time

Hello everyone. Been sick the last few days, still weak, but bouncing back. Today I spent time making fleece throw blankets for my son and niece. Then worked on a quilt. I actually started the quilt back when I was married cause at the time my husband (ex husband) and I were wanting five kids. But, after we had our son, he suddenly changed his mind and divorced me later. Anyways, I was making the quilt incase I ever had a little baby girl. But since the divorce, I stopped working on it, now I'm back to the quilt because I can always give the quilt to one of my siblings if they ever have a daughter. If not, then it can be a gift for someone else later in life.
But now, I'm working on a fantasy book, likely a short book. Writing it for my son. It'll be something I can read to him when I do have him here at times. Hopefully he will like the book. It'll have a mystical setting about it. Taking a break from writing currently because it began to remind me of the times he and I played outside. On Mother's Day, he gave me a rock he found. I still have it. We also found ladybugs and caught grasshoppers together.
Think it's the depression that's making me feel sick, the further it goes, the worst I feel. Still keeping hope! But unfortunately, I practically missed out on his whole two year. In January he'll be three and his birthday is on a day I can't get him.
Sucks.

The Walking Dead Rant

You know, I went on a rant the other day on my Facebook. It was over the Parental Control thing having problems about the violence that was on the season 7 premiere episode of The Walking Dead.
They complained about the violence, gore, and whatnot and that it should change its rating.
My rant about it was that there are many ways to deal with it.
1. Change the channel
2. Turn it off
3. Don't subscribe to the channel
4. Satellite and cable offers the option to block access to things like that
5. If you have a problem with it then why are you even watching it??

If you follow my Twitter, then you may know I'm a fan of the show. Have been since season 1 and you might know too that gore doesn't bother me. But, anyways, they have all those options, yet choose to complain. Come on! There's worse out there on tv. There are shows with nudity, drugs, and even cartoons that have hidden adult content. Hell, I heard American Horror Story had a moment where a character decided to bash another character in the head, the Parental Television Content people didn't complain. Yet The Walking Dead had Negan beat two characters to death and they act like it's the worst thing ever.
Turn on your parental lock on your television and stop bitching. It's a television show that has always had violence and gore.
Short from that, the first episode was great. The makeup effects were amazing and the actors all did a great job at creating the fear towards Negan.
Usually I don't like the villain in movies and TV shows, but Negan pretty much drew me in with the charm and wit. Plus I'll admit, Jeffrey Dean Morgan is a very handsome man... And I do not usually say that or think that much about older gentlemen.
Will miss Glenn and Abraham. Glenn's sense of security and love for Maggie. And Abraham's humorous choice of words and strength. I look forward to the rest of this new season.

Rambling On

Hope everyone had a good Halloween. Those that enjoy it that is. Coming up soon: Thanksgiving and Christmas! Growing up, Halloween was my favorite time of the year. Since 2013 (when I was pregnant), it has been Christmas. For my son last year, I ordered him a How To Train Your Dragon toy box, a Toothless dragon plush toy, a Toothless dragon bank, and a Hiccup and Toothless toy set. He loved those toys. This year I want to get him a replica Lucille bat. Anyways, growing up, we hardly had a decent Christmas. Usually we didn't get gifts. One year my older sister had wrapped old toys in newspaper and put them under the tree just so my little brother, little sister and I could unwrap gifts.
Back in my teens, I would go through my belongings and wrap up things I didn't need anymore. Then place them under the tree just so my family had something to look forward to.
Since the percap check comes once a year, I now get at least one gift for everyone. Well, more than one for my son. Around that time too, I usually bake pumpkin pies. I have learned my lesson though to always plan gifts and backup gifts.
Usually when I have a specific gift in mind and I make it to the store, the specific gift is never there or available.
Sorry about going on about Christmas already, couldn't think of something interesting to talk about.
