Hometime and Affluenza

[radiofoos]

If you liked Affluenza, you should read Herbet Marcuse's 'One-Dimensional Man' and Erich Fromm's 'The Fear of Freedom'... these are the first works that truly tackle the cultural and psychological aspect of capitalism (they were writing between the 1920s-60s), and much of what they say is found in Affluenza.

beautiful*

[hotitalianstalion]

your really bautiful babe

[romanblood]

I'm actually reading James' other book: Selfish Capitalist. Pretty cool, going to have to read it a few times though :P

Oh and Lynn Barber released a book called An Education. Give it a go.

[leapoffaith20]

Rosie? Where have you been, we need some intelligent literary talk :)

Speeking of which: Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky.

I heartily recommend it, not only is it a great story, but it also explores themes such as the will to survive, the nature of time and the interaction between various philosiphies.

[missxrojas]

@leapoffaith20 I'm editing a video right now! I haven't really had much time to read because of exam religion but that sounds like a great book, I shall read it!

[missxrojas]

@missxrojas exam religion? exam revision!

[hrkimali]

Will you marry me ?

You are just simply beautiful and damn id like to drill a hole or 2 more on your body....

[Blade5468]

@hrkimali lolol what

[weirdalace]

woo chicago.. and matt smith is a good doctor :D

[chunkymonky218]

20 cups of tea - isn't that the standard daily requirement for Brits? ;) I kid. :P Nice vid! Hope you had a nice Easter!

[tryanjohnson]

How many BNP guys did you suck off on the train? I know you dream about it. Your wet pussy can't stop thinking about it. How about one from the front and one from behind after a nice dinner? Have a nice day baby.

[purpleshoes235]

you seem to know loads about UK book selling - I'm in London and there's a little independant book store near me which focuses on kids and teenage books. If I ask them do you think they will be able to order in Will Grayson Will Grayson?? I'd quite like to support them if I could... thanks :D

[missxrojas]

@purpleshoes235 Yes, they should do! Be prepared to wait a little bit longer than Amazon would deliver, but it's worth it in the end :)

[kazdagpro]

0:48 - :0:53

Loool! Love your vlogs!

[TheWinterOne]

I never actually read The Secret, but a lot of people seem to be pushing it... and I mostly agree with your assessment even though I haven't... it sounds like Law of Attraction repackaged. Oh well. I'm not too big on non fiction but maybe I'll have to give your new interest a try once I finish my current book. Nice update!

[SammyBoy328]

Heh, your hair appears to have a mind of its own :P

[spasticpanda]

I understand the whole "commercialism is bad thing" but . . . I think you bought the book didn't you? I think he would thank you for fueling his commercialism.

[Ahpuch86]

I came across your videos by chance i must say you truly have such a funky and beautiful mind, i hope you're proud of that, also thought it was cool that you had some mexican family background cos so do I hehe, anyway take care. Adios

[MonkeyWhoWouldBeKing]

he's a clinical psychologist. i've notread affluenza but i have read `they fuck you up`. everyone swhd read it and it'll make a whole generation better parents. absolutely fascinating. about developmental psychology, and the effects of early care on development. fascinationg and everyone read it.

ill look for affluenza

[LAshlieH]

I am really excited for the new season but it doesn't start here until April 17th, which is really sad and not quite close enought for my liking. I am curious to see Matt Smith...but I will always miss David Tennant!

[fairylightts]

I actually picked up Affluenza after you mentioned it in your previous video. I'm only a little into in, but I like it a lot. It certainly makes you think.

[iTheKillersFan]

Easter chocolate... yum!

[xXxaurumxXx]

I like your accent ^^ ....

[StephanieSmith92]

20 cups of tea. Right on!

Lovesx

[chrisdude27]

Gotta love a nice cup of tea!

[kijbob]

oh didnt know about doctor who starting... thnx for reminding me.

[Clickie13]

Is it possible that you are actually getting posher!?

Why is that?

[Gethazzor3]

Doctor Who :D can't wait

[cycoG]

i love how enthusiastic you are in this!

[kira902k]

Ah, I have to wait until the 17th to watch Doctor Who here in Canada. Rawrrr.

I hope you have fun at home. Strange thing to say. Sorry.

And Affluenza sounds quite awesome.

[coolstream1]

My OCD was going on over drive for the first 1:30 of this video lol

FIXYOURCOLLARFIXYOURCOLLARFIXY­OURCOLLARFIXYOURCOLLARFIXYOURC­OLLARFIXYOURCOLLARFIXYOURCOLLA­RFIXYOURCOLLARFIXYOURCOLLARFIX­YOURCOLLAR

ahhhhhhhh

[nicholas9999]

wow, so you have a public twitter account!

[partyweetow]

I very much like Chicago, too. It is, after all, the best city in the world. ^_^

[TheLunarFire]

I had to read that book for APES (AP Environmental Science). It was redundant.

[lauragrillo27]

I want your energy lol!

[lolxenulol]

haha, yeah the secret is massive pile of crap! Yeah, if you think you want something the universe will make it happen... beyond crap. Always good to hear sceptical thinking lol!

[greatsea]

I love your videos.

[mcphelps48]

I am so jealous that Britain gets all the Doctor Who stuff early. You think with the technology we possess these days we could get it simultaneously. Also, have read Affluenza, and its a great read, seriously, loved it!

[enigmatic4]

great blog today rojas! I'm also a first year English undergraduate from London (at Nottingham atm) so it's great watching the vlogs of someone so similarly minded :)

(btw if you're gonna go for any self-help books check out Anthony Robbins' Awaken the Giant Within, tis pack with intelligent motivational tips!)

[chillipeanuts]

happy holidays rosi.

[CodenameJD]

You've only just finished!? My uni broke up two weeks ago! :S

When I saw the description before the video, I read it as Jamie Oliver for some reason XD Very different :P

Woo, Doctor Who! I'm gonna make videos about it too :P I actually made videos about The End of Time before even finding you realising you do the same thing on TARDIStacular :P

[06clared]

Given your reply's - glad to see you got home safe with your 5 backs and train change!

I've noticed your weekly vlogs - appreciate them!

I've been revising for my GCSE's and your old vlogs are giving me inspiration to do so :)

[Lionelrm]

Yay Dr. Who

[jjgenesis]

GIve me a hug ;)

[Elrich89]

Rosianna, have you read Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts? My friend Lindsey, who's currently travelling the world (green with envy)...well, to say she recommended it is an understatement. She described it as "the book around which my life revolves" on her travel blog. High praise indeed from someone who doesn't read an awful lot. Have you read it and what did you think?

[missxrojas]

@Elrich89 My sister read that last year! She did say it was fantastic, I'm going to try to read it once I'm done with exams :) Thanks for letting me know about a further recommendation, though, sounds like this book really is something special.

[whoknows2007]

What Uni do you go to? Yay for going home!

[regularguy5mb]

It's gonna be Fan-Tastic! (couldn't stay away from the 9 catchphrase)

I'm definitely interested in that book. I'll have to look it up.

[BarryAldridge]

I cant wait until Doctor Who tomorrow. Im so excited.

[sonever1]

It's embarrassing how fond I've become of this young woman. She represents Britain so well. She might be a kind of natural royalty.

She would be such a wonderful organizer and advocate for good causes like independent organic farming CSA's, animal rights, and Work Co-ops.

James's 'Affluenza' is a very good recommendation.

Compiling facts from such popular sociological research books makes for good articles.

Re cities for which she might have a natural affinity, I hope she will consider Boston.

[Brickteen]

woo Doctor who, can't wait. but I'm gunna be drunk at this party when it's on sooooo I'm leaving it til sunday to watch. thank the timelord for iplayer :p

[ochoa830]

Hope you have a lovely spring break. Mine ends this weekend. :( But it's okay because this is my last semester of college!!!!

[missxrojas]

@ochoa830 Thank you! Have a lovely last weekend, haha.

[TheFictionAddict]

Snap!

I can't wait for Doctor Who either... I reckon it's gonna' be great!

[egoeime]

Rosianna, what university do you go to? and where abouts in London do you live? I go to uni in London- and love it :)

[viper139]

I prefer cold to hot tbh, I'm looking forward to doctor who also :P

[chrisnap317]

where do you get your wonderfully amazing accent from?

[missxrojas]

@chrisnap317 eighteen years of living in London?

[socratesjr]

CHICAGO ROCKS. My hometown :)

[Str8Ecko226]

you need to come to long island there's no other place like it. its in new york its really great

[missxrojas]

@Str8Ecko226 I will do my best to!

[iron545]

i hate the secret my friend is convinced it works

he keeps finding fivers everywhere and saying its because of that dam thing i want to kill him

[phampants]

And Chicago loves you too.

[JackSafferyRowe]

Hey Rosianna. What's your twitter?

[missxrojas]

@JackSafferyRowe Hiya! My username is papertimelady :)

[06clared]

I was wondering when you were going to upload another video :)

Keep us updated!

[missxrojas]

@06clared Trying to do them slightly more regularly but still just ending up with maximum one a week! Gah! Hopefully I'll be able to do more and more varied ones this summer, it's a target.

[drew335533]

Oh ya, I forgot to ask, are you on a trimester program? where you're summer is only 1 month long. My break is about three months! =] haha trains.....never ridden one of those in the states. Anyway, you'd better answer my questions this time!

[missxrojas]

@drew335533 Don't worry, the questions video is in production as it were. But no, the third term is basically devoted to exams. And huzzah for Chicago.

[drew335533]

@missxrojas Alright good. Wow I fail at grammar, in the question above; I hope you noticed that! How long are you at home for? As for following you on Twitter, I don't think I would sacrifice my dignity and join twitter, simply so I could see your wonderful tweets of wisdom. Chicago is awesome, however I believe it to be quiet different from London though. Have you ever lived abroad for a long time? I imagine the culture shock to be pretty significant.

[drew335533]

Haha you like Chicago? I do as well, I believe I'm going to university there next year. Maybe we'll run into each other? (no creepyness or sexual harassment intended). Anyways, self help books are nice, but honestly unless you actually plan on performing actions to improve you're life, I would say it is a waste of time,

[liahna89]

Rosianna, you have the most amazing taste in books.

[WoWAlferow]

Yay Easter FTW only 2 days yayhay!

[AnAbundanceOfKathryn]

Doctor Who's on at 6:15

[emmfan09]

I follow papertimelady but I think you have a second, private account? I'm sure you spout the wonderful bits of wisdom for both XD

[xDaytimeDreamingx]

You were one of my favorite people to follow on Twitter, but now you've been on private for a while, so no more following for me.

[missxrojas]

@xDaytimeDreamingx I've got a private and public account, my public one is papertimelady, I just removed pretty much everyone except some of my closest friends because I've been getting some fairly scary messages. Sorry!

[soundslikesabrina]

Rosi, if I sent you a request to follow you on Twitter, would you accept? All your tweets have little locks next to them.

[missxrojas]

@soundslikesabrina I don't accept requests for my private twitter (just because some scary people have found out a bit too much about me via that) but you're more than welcome to follow me on papertimelady, my public one :)

[soundslikesabrina]

@missxrojas Oh. Thanks, I didn't know that one existed!

[tryanjohnson]

@missxrojas I bet your pussy tastes good. Some of the BNP boys and I would like to taste it. You are sooooooo hot. Take Care baby.

[sonever1]

@tryanjohnson ... sounds like a UAF thug doing a smear. No genuine nationalist or BNPer would write rubbish like that.

[mcphelps48]

Good to see people against the Secret. What a load of crap!! And OMG good to see you are paying attention to Doctor Who. Please don't mention to much about it. I can't believe it doesnt air in Australia until the 18th, still good old Youtube may help me out there!

[missxrojas]

@mcphelps48 Don't worry, all Doctor Who chat and spoilers and whatnot will be confined to the channel I have with owlssayhooot, TARDIStacular :D

[joetavish]

Get in Rosianna mate!

[tetsubo57]

A book that really helped me was Deep Survival. Which has nothing to do with self-help at all but was very useful nonetheless.

[Yzzyc]

What University do you go to?

[chocolatecauldrons]

Oo, I've heard of Affluenza. Maybe when I've finished all the books I have lined up...

[happycowmonkeylord]

7th?

[IMayLookCatLike]

I found The Secret really upsetting, I have the teen and the adult versions, and just... *shudders* (In my defense both were gifts..) But we'd know that 'you' meant us without the capital letter, I just... No want. XD

[nextgengamesftw]

excited for doctor who on saturday?

[Poreman123]

GA GA OH LA LA !

[doctorwhoedgirl]

make a DOCTOR WHO VIDEO

[sami2503]

She makes lots of them on the TARDIStacular channel
