just felt like sketching and coloring more pam

but immediately after the first sketch the name "Pamton P. Pamton" popped up in my head and my imagination devolved.

A brief relief from all the CatCF comics I'm putting out. My next comic will be a FNAF one so check out @glamnessaau.

why has no one written ghostgirl fanfiction???? charlotte and scarlett were in love?????

Charlotte - Ghostgirl

I think this will be the first and last character that is based directly from a book.

Memories come back to me from years ago when the Ghostgirl book was mentioned to me. In those times it was a boom! In Mexico, I remember the photos of the fans every time a new one came out. In total there are five books and a life diary.

Charlotte Usher is the non-living protagonist of this book. She dies in a very tragic-comic way, she chokes on a gummy bear.

Once dead, she has to attend a special class with other dead kids in order to advance to the next level. But Charlotte has other plans, and that is to complete her goal of making the boy she likes fall in love with her even though she can't see her now.

I admit that she often felt like hitting Charlotte because of her attitude. But she was saved by the design of the book, her illustrations are really beautiful and the phrases in each chapter are beautiful. And her friend, Scarlet, who is the lively girl who helps her with her ideas.

I only have the diary of this saga. I have thought about buying the books, but I admit that I would like to have them in hardcover. And if I can't, I'll go for the rustic ones.

Books are always a big part of me. I remember reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer when I was in Elementary when I slept over with my cousins, I saw it on their bookshelf, picked it up, and read it. Even when I was young, I enjoyed a book with stories, parables, fables, and Alamat/Legends. I always borrowed my Tita's pocketbooks when I was in elementary and high school, too young to read that kind of material, but too stubborn for anyone to stop me from finishing and reading one. When I didn't have a book to read, I picked up the bible (New Testament and Old Testament) and read it. Sometimes I skimmed dictionaries just because I wanted to read, list down all the interesting words that I encountered, and forget them as soon as I reached for another (newspaper) to entertain me with. I remember picking up Who Moved My Cheese? I liked it so much, and I knew that's when I started loving quotes and one-liners, paragraphs, and sentences that I dedicated one notebook to fill in all the good words I've read so far. I remember borrowing my high school classmate's book Ghostgirl by Tonya Hurley - the first book series I've loved. Right there and then, I wanted to buy books and collect them after I read them. But alas, I don't have the luxury and the privilege yet to buy books whenever I want. So as much as I could, I borrowed books. Little by little, I saved up and bought some if ever there was any extra money. It was my guilty pleasure. Books are not cheap. But I can't give up on them. I think maybe that is one of the reasons why I am a very hopeless romantic even when I was a child. I consider myself a bookworm/book girly.

But as all the bookworms have experienced, there was also a time when I couldn't even pick up a small book. I knew I loved reading, still love books, but I couldn't even finish reading Chapter 1. I guess you can say I was in a book slump. But it was more than that. I stopped doing things I'm happy about. I stopped buying books. I stopped reading, painting, and listening to music. I don't know what it took for me to pick the books on my TBR list and finish them, the only thing on my mind back then was not to think of heartbreaking things other than the stories in the books I've read.

I started buying tragic, tear-jerking books so that I'd have a good reason to cry because even though I have enough reason in real life to cry about, I was empty. And I didn't want to face the reality. I turned to books when I wanted some escape, and for a while, it helped. So I cried when a character died, I cried when it was too relatable, and I cried when the plot/story was so good that my heart felt so full it could burst. And I wished. I wished for a love story similar to the love stories written in a book. If it were just so simple.

There was a time I thought I was done with that hobby, thought I would never pick up a book again. But here I am, reading my 51st book of the year, and I am so damn proud of myself. I can't stop. I promised myself, that life would turn dark again somehow, with obstacles, and life-changing experiences, but there's too much goodness also spread across the world and in my life, and books are one of them. So I will take a break once in a while if I ever feel like I'm in a book slump again. But I think, out of all the hobbies I acquired throughout the years, being a bookworm will forever be one of my favorites.

So cheers to 50 books I've read this year. Maybe I'll list my top 10 favorites and least favorites.

To more books to read and books to buy next year!

1980s House Playlist

OK, new playlist for this week; sort of. Last week I posted a playlist of some great Chicago house jams, most of which came from the 1980s. But this week, we're doing two different things: one, we're staying laser-focused on the 1980s, and two, we're broadening the scope out so as not to specify on any city. But because Spotify's 80s house selection isn't too great, all of these songs on this playlist are also on the same playlist I posted last week. Where things differ slightly, though, is with the YouTube version of this playlist, which I'll get to shortly, after I list out all of the songs that are on this Spotify version first.

This playlist is ordered as chronologically as possible and links are provided below to songs that have been posted about previously in order to give them more context:

Quest - "Mind Games" Marshall Jefferson - "Move Your Body" Farley "Jackmaster" Funk & Jesse Saunders - "Love Can't Turn Around" On the House - "Pleasure Control" Housemaster Boyz - "House Nation" Ralphi Rosario - "You Used to Hold Me" Night Writers - "Let the Music Use You" Dalis - "Rock Steady" Kevin Irving - "Children of the Night" Bam Bam - "Where's Your Child"

Now, every 1980s house song that was included in last week's YouTube playlist is on this one too, but I've also got a couple bangers here that aren't from Chicago as well. The first one comes from a New York quartet called 2 Puerto Ricans, a Blackman and a Dominican, who only ever put out two records together, but consisted of three very impactful people: the legendary David Morales and the two C's who would go on to form C+C Music Factory, David Cole and Robert Clivillés (Remember "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)"?). And the other guy was Chep Nuñez, who probably would've gone on to do some great things too, had he not tragically died in a house fire in 1990 😞.

Anyway, I included their debut record on here, 1987's "Do It Properly," a fun six-plus-minute jam that leads with these great, freewheeling bits of reverbing organ before letting Tonya Wynne come on and provide some diva vocals, ad-libs, and kooky laughing. There are a lot of different versions of this song out there, but this specific edit appears to have about 5,300 plays across its handful of YouTube uploads.

And the other non-Chicago track happens to be a spectacularly quirky cover of "Tainted Love" by the UK's Impedance, which was a solo project of a guy named Liggy Locko, who'd shortly end up in one of those early 90s alt-indie dance bands called Natural Life. But in '89 he dropped this strange and sort of minimal, electro-infused house tune that had these acid rave horns and a chirping, prickly synth melody on it, as well as lyrics that were delivered in this awkward, deadpan monotone too. Locko was also accompanied by an uncredited female vocalist on the song as well, who, based on context clues, I'm going to guess is UK singer and songwriter Tracy Ackerman. She, too, is rather emotionless throughout much of the song, but when the guitar kicks in in the second half, that's when things suddenly ratchet up, in an intensely sexual manner 😳. This one appears to have about 285.4K plays on YouTube across a bunch of different uploads, and I'm willing to bet that that pretty decently high play count comes courtesy of the ravers who remember dancing to it fondly.

Doctor Derelict - "Undercover" Jungle Wonz - "The Jungle" Steve "Silk" Hurley - "House Beat Box" On the House - "Ride the Rhythm"Libra Libra - "I Like It" 2 Puerto Ricans, a Blackman and a Dominican - "Do It Properly" Paris Grey - "Don't Make Me Jack" Liz Torres - "Can't Get Enough" Frankie Knuckles - "Baby Wants to Ride" On the House - "Let's Get Busy" Mister Lee - "Come to House" Impedance - "Tainted Love (Underground mix)"

And this playlist is also on YouTube Music.

So, currently, we're at 10 songs that end up totaling an hour on Spotify, and on YouTube, we're at 22 songs that end up totaling 2 hours and 12 minutes. A lot more great 80s house tunes in that YouTube one.

And if you want something shorter, I also have a playlist of house tunes that are solely from the year 1987 too.

1987 House: YouTube / YouTube Music

Enjoy!

More to come, eventually. Stay tuned!

Could I nominate ghostgirl by Tonya Hurley?

Added to the list!

[smalltownfae]

My most disliked books according to Goodreads:

I've heard people say that books with an average rating of 3.7 is low for goodreads so that is what I am considering as low rating.

The book with the lowest average rating that I read is something that has just 12 pages and comes as an offer in the portuguese edition of a book of short stories by Joanne Harris. I have no idea if it was sold in english because GR only presents the portuguese version. It only has 10 ratings and an average of 2.60 stars. It's called A História de Anouk (The Story of Anouk) and it's just that character reflecting on some events in her life. I thought it was alright, gave it 3 stars and I think people are being mean about a free thing 😆

The books I agree with low ratings:

At 3.13 there's a short story collection by Mary Shelley (yes, that author of Frankenstein). I gave it 3 stars and it was pretty meh so I can see why the rating is so low.

Portuguese books:

There are a few portuguese books for those that don't believe me when I say portuguese classics suck: Felizmente há luar (3.21, I gave it 2), Fanny Owen (3.52, I gave it 1) and Auto da Barca do Inferno (3.68, I gave it 3). Not a classic, but the portuguese fantasy trilogy O Cetro de Aerzis has pretty low ratings and I gave it an average 3 stars too. O Cavaleiro da Dinamarca has 3.66 and I didn't even rate it but I remember thinking it was one of the worse books by the author.

Then there are my bad purchases of collections of legends. I say bad because the writing is atrocious and not engaging at all. There's Histórias e Lendas Fantásticas fos Celtas, Scottish Myths and Legends, Irish Fairy and Folk Tales . Neither of them is good but the last one at least has a pretty cover and it's the only one I didn't get rid off.
