Christmas

Christmas are coming very quickly, carolls are playing in every mall, while we're in panic looking for presents for every single relative, even though we haven't seen him for ten years.
I sometimes feel, like presents became more like an obligation - something we have to buy, not to insult people we sometimes don't even know. As my mum said "Oh, we have to buy something for Maria. And it has to be expensive, so she wouldn't take offence...". I don't think this is how should the Christmas go...
A present should be something you really want to make the other one happy about. Not something you HAVE to buy, because someone's said so. But of course, there is the other page of view, people who say that Christmas are just about the happines and the atmosphere of being with your family, that you shouldn't give something so materialistic as presents.
Ok, of course... But! I think, that most people couldn't imagine Christmas without presents and these materialistic things.  So couldn't I! Because I honestly love getting presents... And what's wrong about it? I just like to think, that someone took the work to find something what would make me happy.

Anyway, is there anyone who still does his Christmas list? :3 Everyone says that it's abnormal, but honestly - if you're on this blog, you probably won't be normal : 3 (For example: I've written two Christmas lists this year - The second one was adressed to The Doctor, so he could finally come to take me to the whole time and space - tell me about madness, please :D)

Maybe you ask, what would I want? Well, let's see:

1) The "geeky things" (As my brother says) - anything with Doctor (my mum said she WILL NOT buy me Doctor's sonic screwdriver and she doesn't seem she's had thought it over...), Sherlock, Harry Potter,  comics , my favourite films on DVDs, PC games...

2) Books!! I still hope for some Sherlock Holmes stories, E.A.Poe's books, maybe some Sheakespeare or Oscar Wilde (I'd love to try it...). But what would I really want is this: The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. Anyone who's read it?

3) Of course, some clothes. Shirts, skirts, tights, accesories...  I don't normally have enought money to buy clothes for myself, so I hope for some for Christmas.

And what do you want? Do you still write your Christmas list? Or have you simply read The Night Circus? Comment!

"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies"

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.” 

-George R.R. Martin, A Dance With Dragons

Last week we had a little fight with my friend, about "What the hell do I see about reading". Because as she said "Reading is boring!"

Honestly, I almost killed her. Because she couldn't understand anything... 

In my opinion, reading is the best way to spend your time. Because when the book is really good and you get into the story... You can feel what the characters feels, you can't look away from the story and when it's over, it continous in your mind.

And it's better than just a movie. Because when you actually can't see the character and you have to imagine it, you always add something yours. Even when in the book is perfectly said how the character looks, it becomes somehow yours. When thousand people read the same story, there will be so many versions of the character. Isn't that beautiful? Because that's what do the books help us for - to expand our imagination and use it! 

That's what the best stories teach us - that the best thing we can do is use our imagination! And THAT is the reason, why there are so many fanfiction stories, because the best stories give us inspiration.

Because people want to live their favourite stories - become a part of it.  

And that's why I think reading is so amazing: it gives you an opportunity to live thousands lives in some fantastic world, it gives you an opportunity to travel the world and still stay in your bedroom.

When I told her about this, she couldn't answer me. She just couldn't. And even if she would, I wouldn't be listening.

On the street

Why are people always staring at you, just because you're nicely dressed? Why are they whispering and pointing at you like you're some public attraction (Specially girls in blue jeans and some cheap t-shirt from New Yorker) ?
Why is it OK, to wear blue jeans, but not a skirt? I don't know, maybe I am just weird, when I like to dress up as I want. Maybe they think that girl wearing for example a tie is somehow dangerous and they should quickly warn everyone around, that "They should look at that weird girl there!"
Once even happened to me, that one woman went away from me, when she saw that I wear a bow tie.  I felt like I have some kind of farcy...

I can just hope that in another countries it's better. That they can accept what you wear in England or America  better than here...

Sorry for my emotional... outpouring :3

Me going Throught the Looking glass

 "How would you like to live in Looking-glass House, Kitty? I wonder if they'd give you milk, there? Perhaps Looking-glass milk isn't good to drink -- but oh, Kitty! now we come to the passage. You can just see a little peep of the passage in Looking-glass House, if you leave the door of our passage as far as you can see, only you know it may be quite different on beyond. Oh, Kitty! how nice it would be if we could only get through into Looking-glass House! I'm sure it's got, oh! such beautiful things in it! Let's pretend there's a way of getting through into it somehow, Kitty. Let's pretend the glass has got soft like gauze, so that we can get through." - Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There by Lewis Carroll


Maybe this told you, why did I name my blog like this. I always pretend like there is a chance to get throught the Looking-Glass, never stop dreaming.
And that's what should be found here - my dreams. My dreams, my thoughts, my opinions or just me.
Sometimes fashion, sometimes stories, who knows...
