Caustic and Candid

So I've decided to tell you, lovely readers, what caustic and candid actually mean and why I chose that as my blog name.


caus·tic/ˈkôstik/ 

Adjective
1. Scathingly sarcastic.


can·did/ˈkandid/Adjective

1. Truthful and straightforward; frank.

I chose these two adjectives for my blog for a few reasons. First off, I am sarcastic, and at times rude about it. I can come off as quite abrasive. Basically, caustic is a fair warning for readers. Sometimes I'm gonna sound like an absolute bitch. Secondly, I tell it like I see it. That's pretty much why my friend Sarah's mom hates me. I don't like to beat around the bush. So my blogs may not always be terribly long, because I like to get to the point of why I'm writing that particular day. 

Aaaaaand that's about the end of this particular blog post. So here's a picture I made of an Ood.

Bibliophile

It's been awhile since I've blogged. I simply can't think of what to write about.

There are many things going on in my life, hard things, and when things get difficult or unpleasant or downright awful, I retreat into myself. I stay in my head a lot and don't let anyone in. It's a terrible habit, but I just can't seem to change it. Oh well.


bib·li·o·phile/ˈbiblēəˌfīl/

Noun: A person who collects or has a great love of books

I consider myself to be a bit of a bibliophile. I love books. I love horrors, thrillers, mysteries, fantasy, sci-fi, anything with a good plot line really. 

Some friends can't understand why I love books. 

Books are amazing. I love getting lost in fantasy worlds. When reality is boring, books can provide you with hours of adventures in far away lands or with fantastical characters. They're even better than movies, because you can make the characters speak in any way, or you can even imagine they look however you want, not just how they are described. You can imagine yourself as one of the characters. With a good imagination, anything is possible in the realm of stories. 

Take me away to my fantasy world, give me another book, let's have another whorl. Take me to a waking dream of whimsical wonder, its my addiction, give me another. 

If the stories in books just aren't cutting it for you, you can even write your own. Make up your own land, your own characters, your own fantasy. 

There are millions of books with millions of stories and millions of different realms. Where's yours?
