  1. I watched it over a year ago and it's marvelous! What I like the most about it is how well non-LGBTQ people responded to it. I don't think that it would have received the same positive reaction ten years ago. We're definitely moving toward the right direction.
  2. No, I don't believe in astrology.
  3. "El plan infinito" (1991), by Isabel Allende.
  4. Sometimes I think that I'm the only person in the world who doesn't care about Harry Potter in the slightest!
  5. To me, cheating within a relationship is when you do something that wasn't previously discussed with your other half. For instance, you agree with your significant other that you can sleep with someone else as long as they know beforehand; if you do it without previously notifying them about it, then that's cheating because you broke the agreement that you had. I would say that you usually know when you're cheating since it's something that you feel deep inside of you, sort of like a bad or uncomfortable feeling. If you have to ask yourself if you cheated, most likely you probably did.
  6. Most people I know who grew up listening to The Carpenters, such as my father, appreciate the fact that their music has not been spoiled, exploited, or tainted by unnecessary remixes or collaborations. I totally get where you're coming from with your post, but I personally like the fact that I get to listen to the beautiful voice of Karen without having to associate it with another music genre or musical artist. The Carpenters music stands on its own: it's pure, clean, magical, nostalgic, ethereal, and ageless. I wouldn't call it ageless, at all, but we can agree to disagree. I just like it the way that it is: to me, it's like a time machine which transports me to a time where I wasn't alive yet, and I get to experience sensations that were unknown to me all thanks to it. That's why I referred to it as "magical."
  7. Love it! Thank you for sharing.
  8. Does it have to be Halloween related, though? Anyway, I'm always planning to be a better person than the one who I was yesterday. You know, being more organized, attentive, compassionate, giving, loving, caring, understanding, open-minded. I'm also usually planning on reading more books and watching more movies, especially in different languages that I'm trying to get better at.
  9. I have always admired women more than men: I find them more interesting and entertaining. I will name three of each: Madonna, Janet Jackson, and Britney Spears are my favorite entertainers. Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Céline Dion are my favorite vocalists. Meryl Streep, Glenn Close, and Nicole Kidman are my favorite actresses. I also admire Jane Fonda, Susan Sarandon, Sally Field, Sissy Spacek, Shirley MacLaine, Anne Bancroft, Goldie Hawn, Katharine Hepburn, Vanessa Redgrave, Maggie Smith, Joanne Woodward, Elizabeth Taylor, Judi Dench, Jill Clayburgh, Faye Dunaway, Renée Zellweger, Charlize Theron, Jessica Lange, among many others. I'm such a cliché!
  10. I honestly don't care as long as they're precise and concise. I have "devoured" tons of novels which had over one-thousand pages in one weekend because they were entertaining, interesting, and to the point. And I have spent over a month reading some books with fewer pages, since I thought the chapters were too long making the story boring, dull, repetitive, and tedious. I have even stopped reading some books altogether because of that. The same has happened with some movies and television shows. There is always a serious problem when they try to make the story longer than it should be, right? ("The Simpsons," "Grey's Anatomy," and "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit": I'm looking at you!) My advice? No fillers: precise, concise, and to the point always make a story entertaining and interesting.
  11. I have read this novel multiple times because I find it captivating, fun, unusual, intriguing, and revealing. Noah Anderson, the main character, is likable, caring, loving, old-fashioned, discreet, private, and intelligent. But he is painfully shy and very set in his ways; he is also emotionally shattered since Derek Pepper, his partner for twenty years, left him for a younger man after cheating on Noah for a long time. Eli, his love interest, is protective, amorous, sensual, strong, intuitive, hard-working, open-minded, curious, interesting, understanding, and courageous. He is not afraid of a challenge and he fights for what he wants. Noah's world changes spectacularly for the best when he meets Eli. For Eli, everything finally falls into place when he meets Noah. This is an unlikely couple, but their chemistry is undeniable; you want to root for them. Noah discovers the wonderful and extraordinary things that can happen to him when he is willing and determined to explore new horizons. I love stories that are entertaining and can teach you something, and this is one of them. I learned from this novel that it is never too late to start over from the beginning; that you can bounce back nicely from a devastating relationship breakup; that is therapeutic to get out of your comfort zone every once in a while; and that you are missing out on a lot of new experiences when your heart is not open. There is not a dull moment in this novel: it is conscience and precise. I read it in one sitting. I totally recommend this delightful story; give it a chance, you will not be disappointed! I will be always grateful to the author, Rob Colton, for writing such an inspiring piece of writing.
  12. This is very useful not only for writing, but also for being organized and focused upon what you have to do. Thank you very much for publishing this article. By the way, "A Class by Himself" is one of the best novels that I have ever read in my whole life, and I have read thousands of books! I will be forever grateful to you for writing it. .
  13. I am not a writer, but if I were and I could not find a name for a chapter, I would think about the sensation that that chapter is making me feel and I would name it after it. What about naming it after a phrase that a character said during the chapter, or an important place depicted in it? Maybe naming it after a character who stood out in the chapter? I hope that this helps.

  16. I love that channel in general: they produce excellent content! I have watched their videos for countless hours!
  17. My favorite teen idols of all time are Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and the Backstreet Boys.

  22. Thank you kindly for posting this, I truly appreciate it!
  23. This legend of a woman will never be forgotten. May she always rest in peace. I thank her for the music.
  24. Yes, I always read everything that the author includes in the story. I even do research if I must. There have been countless times when I have wanted to skip a chapter or a few paragraphs because I find them unnecessary, but then I know that I would feel guilty about it and would have to go back to read it. When I was younger I didn't use to finish what I was writing or watching if I lost interest, so I committed myself to always finish what I begin, regardless of what it is.
  25. I grew up in a Roman Catholic household, so my parents always viewed Halloween as a pagan tradition. They used words such as "demonic" and "satanic" to describe it. I never really got to experience Halloween, but that didn't affect me much growing up since I was paranoid about strangers giving me candy: "What if they're poisoned?" "What if the caramel apples have blades inside of them?" I used to ask myself constantly. It would have been so much fun dressing up as my favorite cartoon characters, though.
