My First Post

Wow! *Such* a creative first article. I'll be covering completely original territory such as my background and *gasp* why I started a writing here. Truly revolutionary.

Hi there! Here are 4 facts about me:

1. I'm an actor

2. I'm a Slytherin

3. My two favorite movies are Singin' In The Rain and Up

4. If I could have any superpower I would have the power to grant wishes. That way I could wish for *any* super power and grant my own wish so basically it's the ultimate power.

5. I'm a rebel


So I'm starting this thing. What would you call it? A blog? A site? An odd conglomeration of Mabel's disjointed thoughts she thinks are important enough to share with the world? I expect it'll align most accurately with the latter, but boy that's a long title to retype every time. (Control C or no, it's a lot of work) so I think I'll call this a Thlog. Derived from the non-Latin roots Thought and Blog. Because Blog is too basic and I've already explained why I can't use the OCMDT label. (Although it does make a cool acronym, and acronyms do seem to add a certain amount of legitimacy.) To be honest I'm really following in the footsteps of giant such as PEMDAS and JROTC. I would just like to take a moment to thank one of these acronyms for majorly improving my life as civilian in America, honestly without it I would have no idea that exponents come before division. Thank you, PEMDAS, for your service. I digress. Anyway, I'm excited to share my unsolicited advice and opinions with the world and to leave a nice digital footprint I will most likely regret in a few years. Welcome to my Thlog and I hope you enjoy attempting to follow my sporadic train of thought and find my jokes as funny as I do.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
