Muahahahaha

 Paradox

a statement or proposition that seems self-contradictory or absurd but in reality expresses a possible truth

 

  October 31, commonly known as Halloween.  It's also the day of my Party!  I'm not trying to complain but for a basically 4 hr party, spending the whole morning and afternoon on food and decorations is a bit sad.  Still, I think my family are party people, now I do not mean like, we drink beer and go all crazy.  It's just that when my family throws a party we try to make the best of it.  This Halloween Party had AWESOME food (I found the designs).  We had a lot actually.  Mummy hotdogs, mummy pizza, bone bread sticks, cookies, orger mouths, rice crispy treats, chips, monster macoroni, cookies and candy!  Needless to say, I'll be eatting all of that for a least a day.  But it was yummmmyy. =D  I love the decorations we put up.  We bought spider webs and put them ALL over the ceilings and everywhere.  I'm pretty sure that it is amazing.

   Like I said, at least I think I said, it was a costume party.  There were two fairies, one samurai, two Hogwarts students, robin hood, Indiana Jones, a farmer, princess, Max (from Maximum Ride), a fancy girl, a giraffe, a sniper, a pirate (I was the pirate!!) , and well even my parents dressed up although they didn't really hang out with us.. (haha), my dad was a Man in Black guy (look here, please.  ZAP!  Well, the light from Venus...) and my Mom was a Star Trek person.  I like being festive.  Anyway, basically we played a lot of games.  I find it funny how people go off into groups.  I know that's how it is: people stay with they know and stuff.  So it was a good thing, no matter how begrudgingly I say this, that my brother was here. He had followers which naturally have fun when he's by them.  He's just good with people, unfortunately.  Oh well.  I think he'll be popular where ever he goes, and have the cool stories to tell.  It's almost sad, all my friends are his friends.  Sometimes I just want one who isn't infatuated with him.  Who won't succumb to his charm.  haha.  That's what I get for makin' friends: they meet my brother.  Unfortunately none of my friends have an older brother, lol =P. I get off topic.

     We had a vague idea of what people could do.  Our real agenda was to watch movies and eat food and play tag.  We didn't have V for Vendetta. Have you seen that movie? It's amazing! ("The paradox of asking a masked man who he is."  I love that movie!)  Well this is what people did do.  People played Wahoo.  And more people played Clue (I was one of these).  Then people went to play Ping-pong and super smash brothers brawl, while the clue people played Wahoo. Then a few people came upstairs and decorated pumpkins!  I played Euchre, and then the people who were left played tagged. Overall a success, I say.  Even though I think some things got broken.. lol.  Now tomorrow is the first of Nov.  My Dad's birthday (I don't have anything for him yet.. I know.  I'm a bad daughter =( ) and aslo the start of Nanowrimo!  I'm spooked, I have no outline about what I'm going to write at all.  I have no idea of what I'm going to make a 50k story.  I really don't feel like going to school. Plus I want to finish Nancy Drew!  Also, I have nothing else to look forward to, like I've been doing for the Halloween Party for the past month or so.  I know Thanksgiving, but that's so far away!  That's also just another day thing.  Or two, depending on when my families have Thanksgiving.

 

      My Runescape tab isn't working for some odd reason.  I think my siblings are watching Toy Story 3 and I think I'm going to go join them!  Leaving this as a smallish blog.  I'm sorry!  I don't know what else to write about, even though I'm pretty sure I can think of multiple things if I thought about it. I don't wish to, so the end!

5-Minute Post

   Okay, this is going to be, like the subject title suggested, (if you even read the subject title), a 5-minute post since it's really late and I do not want to wake up, for my HALLOWEEEEN Party tired and unenthusiastic  when I'm going to have the most friends I've ever had at a party over.  Talk about pressure, so you'll excuse this blog for not having a new word for you or even anything interesting.  Since, how far can five minutes go? 

    Btw, I really like this concept of 5-Minute Post.. or 5-Minute Blog, or 5-MP, 5-MB.  (Which one is better?) It's something to think about.  I might have to keep this up, especially when I'm running late or have very little time.  I know it will be more like 10 minutes, but hey, rounding (down).  If I continue to use this, I promise you that in the month of November, there will be a LOT of these.  Why?  Because I'm already going to be writing 50,000 words for a novel for Nanowrimo.  Yes, you did see all of those 0's.  In 30 days, can you call me crazy?  That will be the most writing I've ever done before in 30 days!  I'll have even less time since I'm going to have to study for the ACT, which is Dec 11, and be looking for a job (maybe even working one), keeping up with school work, and getting my licence!  This type of blog is looking better and better... 
  
     Really quick about today!  I went to this one place for preteens and teens to hang out at for the first time.  It was an open mike.  I know, not very descriptive of me, but I don't want to disclose the name.  I'll just call it CC.  That was almost the first time I've heard live bands.  It was fun!  A trifle boring at times, but I had a friend their to keep me company.  The people who went on stage I thought must be very brave, because they could face a crowd (even a light one) and perform.  Then I had a second thought: They're not that brave, I'm just too chicken.  Either way works though.  Maybe one day I can be that comfortable on stage with a mic, somehow I doubt it.  Does anyone else have that problem?  Today, I also I figured out what I'm most likely going to be for Halloween (nothing like the last minute- eh?)   I tried on about 10 different outfits, or more, I was getting in to the whole costume aspect.  My top ones were/are:  Pirate, cowgirl, princess and flapper. Yes, not very original, I know, but when I wait this long, I'm lucky ordinary even works! 
  
    Yes!  This is all I have time for otherwise it'll be no sense in titling them by the minutes unless I want to be like 30 minute... and no one really needs to know you spent that long on one single post.  I hoped you enjoyed one of the first installments of a 5-Minute Post!

Sounds With Words (Part 2)

Hurlyburly- battle ( This is a word my friend gave me from the play, Macbeth.) 

   I couldn't believe it, after I got off last night, I kept thinking about the blog post I wrote and I was like, "Why did I end that there?  I had SOOO much more to write on both of the subjects!"  I talk about music, but I don't even mention what songs I like?  How lame is that!  I think I had more, I know I had more, to write about the conversation part, but sadly I forget.  Also sadly, I usually find myself thinking I'm smart enough not to write things down that I'm sure I'll remember.  Of course, when I can't remember I think I'm not so smart anymore. =P 
   Right, music.  Music can speak for you words fail.  It pumps you up, can make you cry, and can make you feel so many emotions that it would be futile to list them all.  So what music do I like?  I shall tell you!  I should say that I dislike naming "favorites" because that means I have to pick the one that I like the most and I don't like doing that, because what if I change my mind?  Which I often do, then I'll feel like I lied, and I don't want to do that.
   Taylor Swift!  I love her music!  My family now owns three of her albums- that's a big deal since we hardly ever buy cd's.  We just got Speak today!!  I'm excited.  Now my sister doesn't have to monopolize youtube's playlists; she can just have the cd in! I don't know why, maybe it's because Youtube is such a usable sources.  Some of her songs I don't like as much, but I know most of the words anyway.  To give you some examples to show that I really DO know her music: Mine, Forever and For Always, Love Story, and You Belong With Me.  I think the guys' in Mine and You Belong With Me are very cute!  And Love Story is my absolute favorite music video!  Whoever has not seen it, go watch it RIGHT NOW! 
    Owl City.  Adam Young is an absolute genius!  Fireflies, the most popular song of his, is a sensation!  I personally love Saltwater Room the best because he does a duet type thing with a girl (I don't know her).  All of his songs, while unique and usually have a different beat, tend to almost run together.  Maybe that's just how I feel about it, but sometimes it's hard for me to know which lyrics go with which songs until I've sung the whole song, or at leat a few bars.  I wish I could find his CD in stores.
     Lady Gaga. Yes, I must add her, because although she is a lot eccentric, her voice is amazing.  Have you ever listened to it without watching the video?  It's.. wonderful.  I got hooked on her from Poker Face and then.. well, most of her other one's.  They're really catchy!  I like her parts in Telephone.  Bad Romance, I think, is one of her greatest songs.  I know lots of people love her and a lot people don't.  I'm one of the people who loves her music.
      Snow Patrol.  It's all thanks to Dear John commercials that I became slightly obsessed with them.  That trailer, when it plays Set Fire To The Third Bar, it's fantastic.
     Blink 182.  My one friend keeps trying to push different music on me, this is one that has really stuck.  Some of their songs aren't the best.. but I listen to the good ones! 
      Country Music.  Now I say country music since I'm just going to list the artists which I like.  Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney, Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, Shaina Twain, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, and so many more!  But now you can be like, "wow!  She and I have music in common!"  or "Awesome!  This girl has great taste in music!" =P  True.. you could be thinking.. "Eww she likes these people?" I also like more... unfortunately Kesha (Ke$ha) with Tick Tock, Katy Perry (Hot 'n' Cold, Teenage Dream, California Girls...), and others.  It's a G-6.... haha. lol. =P 
     And of course, Disney.  Disney has the best of everything, except as I figure out as I watch them, kids movies!  Do you know how many people DIE in Disney movies?  or how SCARY they are?  It is.  They are. But I still love them! =D

   Oh yes, I have something I simply must share.  I was thinking last night (no really, I do think!)  and I came up with a slogan that suited me, I wanted to share it with, like everybody today, but I sort of forgot. haha.   Are you ready?  Are you sure? Here it is: I'm not tired until I wake up.  I know, it's amazing, right?  People who know me should say it totally is me! It explains my sleeping habits.

    Quick summary of what I found really fun today.  I went to girl scouts (yes, I am a girl scout.  I'm cool like that) and we have our meetings at the library.  Today was our halloween party, and our leaders hid 2 colors of crate paper around the library.  We had a hurlyburly within the troop!  Because we split up into teams and whoever found all 25 pieces win!  Of course our leaders semi forgot where they all were hid... so one team couldn't find them all. =D  Oh well, I had a blast doing that.  It's fun!  I can't wait to do it again! 

Sounds With Words

Plethora  pleth·o·ra

[pleth-er-uh]

1. overabundance; excess: a plethora of advice and a paucity of assistance.

2. Pathology Archaic . a morbid condition due to excess of red corpuscles in the blood or increase in the quantity of blood.

 

       Why did I title this blog "sounds with words" rather than just "music"?  I can't tell you, I felt like it.   I don't really want to be totally obvious what the blog is going to be about.  Well, I do, but just in a special way.  So I suppose I should get to the topic rather than giving a plethora amount of excuses or reasons.  Right, so music.  Now, I love music just like any other person, but there is some music that I can not abide.  Like, I don't know what the correct term is but I call it screaming since that is what it sounds like.  Who wants to listen to people scream?  No one!  It's annoying and loud and it makes me cringe.  Does anyone else feel like this?  That a otherwise good song is ruined, yes RUINED! when someone screams in the backround.  So why do people like this?  I honestly can not tell you.  The one friend I asked told me that he did not used to like it, but now he does.  He didn't tell me why.  All he said is that he likes the difference, the craziness of it all, but I have yet to make a reasonable answer.  Is there an answer?   I don't know that answer either.  Maybe it all happened like in the book by Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead.  This one man writes a play, and it's completely worthless, and this other guy thinks it's perfect.  Perfect for the destruction of literature.  He writes a review telling everybody how wonderful it is, and when the people go to see it, they too say it's wonderful.  Why?  Because everybody was a mirror reflection each other's opinions so when one says it's the "best play ever" other people rave about how they just saw the spectacular show.  So maybe one person just started screaming and then another one said it was "great" so people forgot how to think for themselves and have just called it "great" since?  I don't mind stating my opinion so that's why I don't think it's great.  I would love to give you a link to a song, but however I can not since any I choose has minimum screaming in it since I dislike it so much and that won't really get my point across if you can stand a little.

    Another one is... rap.  Rapping is not singing.  It is merely words being sad fast.  I don't know why this was invented or why people think it sounds nice in lyrics before the chours.  I don't feel like getting these links, but there is two people who I think excell at this rapping thing because they are really funny, and if you feel like looking them up, you should do so!  They are:  Dave Days (who is an amazing guy and has awesome videos) when he has a parody version of Miley Cyrus's "Party in the USA."  You simply MUST watch the video.  And there's Charlieissocoollike (I hope I got that right.  I haven't been paying too much attention to him, but my friend mentioned him before and so one night I just watched like 10 episodes-er videos- that he made)  when his challenge is to "rap"  It's hilarous.  In that video he says he'll never rap again, I hope he doens't stick to that.

        I can't really think of more that I completey hate, but are there any others that you dislike immensely?  Plus, I've stayed up too late again, and I'm not even ready for bed yet.  Aren't I smart? Haha, I know.  It's just that... whenever I'm talking to people, especially my friends who I like, it's veryyy hard (almost impossible) for me to leave first (when there's no other reason that I have to go to bed), if we're talking.  Ya know sometimes how you get awkward silences?  Well, I hate those, and the best way to get rid of them... is to leave!  I know, it's horrible, but it's true.  So when all you have is talking, and it's interesting and you just love spending time with that person/s then... haha I can hardly believe it when we stop.  It kind of has a draw back.  If you talk like that too much, a tete a tete, then when there is silence and you can not come up with anything, it's very disappointing.  Or when the other signs off.  Very sad, even if you are remembering and smiling at the conversation you just shared.  Haha, so I guess that's it for this blog.

 man·gy

[meyn-jee]  

–adjective, -gi·er, -gi·est.

1. having, caused by, or like the mange.

2. contemptible; mean: a mangy trick.

3. squalid; shabby: a mangy little suburb

    I know, that's a long title, but it can be (ironically) abbreviated into AAA.  Yes, that is a lot like triple A, but it isn't, it's much better.  It is, as the name might tell you, a writer's group, with just a cooler name.  Today I went to AAA, because (as you might be able to guess) I love to write.  What better way to write than to share what you write and to get feedback on how to be a better writer?  Especially if they're not mangy people.  Today our group centered on emotions and how you can write about them without listing them.  There's two types of ways you can describe them: with the external and internal descriptions.  Example with the emotion anger: External: Fist clenching, red faced.  Internal: Irrationally thinking and heart racing.
    Why are you supposed to do this?  Because you're supposed to involve your reader and you can't do that if you have all these sentiments about "He was sad.  He was angry.  He was depressed."  Also, that is a bit boring to read.  Anyway, our last assignment/writing prompt was writing about a picture.  Now I don't have a scanner, well, I do, but it's not hooked up and I don't know how to use one anyway, and I don't feel like taking a picture of a picture and then uploading, but I will write what I wrote about it!  And, if I ever do upload the picture, I'll be sure to "edit" this and add it.  Without further ado, here it is!
   
     In a world where every inch is filled with water, one man survives. His days are bleak and weary, but he rows, leaving ripples which disturb the still sea. It is a trail, that will soon be erased, but the only one he leaves behind as he searches to find a piece of land or another human being, anything to get him out of this Atlantis nightmare.
      He has little faith in finding either, but he refuses to believe he is the last man on earth, the only survivor of man-kind. However, he is resigned to spend the rest of his days searching. Why? he asks himself, for speaking aloud seems pointless to such a vast world. Because, he answers simply, I must. There is two other inconceivable options which he can barely gives thought to: to wait until someone, if there is anyone, to find him, or to give up, release himself from the struggle and to forfeit his life to the ocean.

     The sun rose today, he noted, which was a worthy fact for the sky had been like ashes for the past week, He made a small indent on the boat, no bigger than a finger-nail mark, with his pocket-knife. There was hardly any room left with 2,373 marks, one for each day of his new life at sea. It was something that kept him sane and his brain functioning. For although nothing else may occur within the next twenty-four hours, the sun would always awaken the day and the moon would always close it. That simple fact made him rational.
      Most people would have gone crazy after a year, let alone six, but for some reason he did not. Nor did he waste away. No matter how cold the water was, if it was a sunny day, he would swim, towing the boat behind him. He had a fear that his legs would start losing muscle and eventually become useless.
There was silence but for the continuous motion of the rows gently gliding into the water, a repetition for which he was used to. No birds or other noises were about. Minutes faded into hours, his muscles, now hardened against such labor, felt no strain.
(This is my own personal work- copyrighted)  Anyone wondering how this story will end will keep wondering since I probably will NOT finish it.  I'm horrible at finishing stories.  Plus, if you wanted to describe how you think the picture that inspired this looks like.. feel free to.  Or if you have a way you think the story will end, also be my guest.
   Also, the next time is writing about something that has happened to you through someone else's perspective, and honestly, I have no idea what I'm going to do.  I know I said I might do two blogs, but I do not have the effort to right now.  So I guess tomorrow I'll have to do three, eh? (I doubt I'll get that many in btw. lots of things to do manana! [tomorrow in Spanish without the cool thing over the 'n']  Something to note upon, this is the first time I used spell check and didn't have any words pop up!  Which, in my opinion, is a little weird.  Oh well, something to be glad about!  Ah, never mind it's broken, I found a misspelled word. So if words are not what they're supposed to be- blame spell check.

Blah

juju JOO-joo \  , noun;

1. An object superstitiously believed to embody magical powers.

2. The power associated with a juju.

 

  Yes, blah is the title of this blog, because that's how I feel.  I did not go to the dentist like expected, which brings up and downs.  The upside:  I have more time to brush my teeth nicer and floss (something I don't regularly do- I know, that's not a good habit, but tis a habit I have not gotten into).  I don't have to face my dental fate yet.  The downside: I'll have to face it someday.  Why did I not have to?  I shall tell you; it was because I was sick.  Yes, sick.  My sister brought a cold to my humble abode and then my brother was taken ill, and now I find that I'm suffering from its effects, as is my mom and my other sister is catching it.  I can never really tell if my dad is sick, but I don't think he is yet.  So this is a great start of a week. =/
     I'm pretty sure I will make this a short blog since I'm not in the mood to write for a very long time.  I might have two tomorrow depending on the circumstances, or maybe even more!  haha, blogging should be the last on my list and here I am writing before anything else!  That's not procrastinating at all. (that was sarcasm for people who have trouble distinguishing the difference between the two.)
      There is something I did today that I do not normally do, I suppose with the unwell feeling it's no wonder I sought refuge on a couch.  Since my Mom is sick too, she got to have the channel of her choice on (you know how that is, mom is always right), and what do moms watch?  News, at least that is what my mom usually watches.  Most of the news was boring, but I couldn't sleep, so I listened and here are some things I learned.
       1.  It seems that girls in Texas are starting a trend where they do not wear make-up on Tuesdays to make the word "beauty" have more meaning or something.  I, personally, commend those girls.  Make-up is much too popular these days with girls.  The "natural look" is not so popular anymore.  Some of the girls I see have dark eyeshadow and.. well, let's just say it does not look natural at all.  I don't even wear a lot of make-up, or any sometimes, unless it's for special occasions.  I do see why people like it, and feel that they can not live without it.  It's like wearing heels, there's just something about it that makes you feel more powerful or something. 
        2.  The "Call Me Senator" thing, if I got it right.  It is hilarious.  There's a short film mocking Barbara Boxer for asking a Brigadier General to call her Senator.  It's  written and directed by David Zucker that he says is his apology on behalf of Big Government.  Brigadier General is talking to her and they calls her "Ma'am" and she says "Do me a favor," she said, "could say 'senator' instead of 'ma'am?' It's just a thing, I worked so hard to get that title, so I'd appreciate it, yes, thank you."   The short film is blows the whole thing out of proportion in a funny (but mocking) way.  http://www.politico.com/blogs/anneschroeder/0609/Barbara_Boxer_Call_me_senator.html  is where you can find the real exchange.  The short film can be viewed here: http://www.rightchange.com/  I recommend watching the real version first and then the funny one.
         3.  Debt.  Everywhere you go is debt.  Since that is a short one, I'll add on this other one: Government and Bills.  I don't pay too much attention to the going-ons everywhere, but I do know that we need to shape up otherwise money is going to be nonexistent, for us people that is.  And, why sign Bill that you don't read?  That is just wrong!
         That's it, I think, plus my keyboard is all wack.  Since I haven't used the word yet, here it is.  Halloween is a time for juju!  Not my best... but it will have to do.

Car-Rides

(I know this title is a little misleading because it's not all about carrides, but I had no idea what to name it, and I did not want to leave it untitles, so there it is!)  Now that I think of it, I kind of remember that I know what this word means, oh well!  Here it is!
con·ster·na·tion

   [kon-ster-ney-shuhn] 

–noun

a sudden, alarming amazement or dread that results in utter confusion; dismay.  

     First of all, I must say I'm sorry I did not make a blog yesterday, and I tell you why.  After supper, I had friends over, and who blogs when your friends are over?  Can you say, "How rude!" or what.  We were having so much fun that one friend did not get home until 12!  To top it further, I played ping-pong with my brother for like half an hour, and then watched TV shows on the computer with my sister.. so, as you can see, it did not leave me enough time to blog.  I was totally zonked when I went to sleep.

    Now, this morning, my sister woke me up earlier than I wanted to: like 12. I know, not that early, but when I go to bed at 4... it tends to get early.  Plus, I think I am getting sick because my sister was sick, my brother is recovering from the cold, and it's just spreading through the whole family! My sister said I had to get up because.. we were going to take pictures!  Fall is a really pretty time because of the changing leaves.  Yet, to my consternation, it seemed almost a dreary type of day.  The leaves were all light brown and yellowish, there were hardly any vibrant crimson colors or oranges.  Still, we got some really nice pictures.  However much I would love to post them, there's the whole privacy issue.  I'm sorry! I will describe some of my favorite ones. 

     My family went down to the park, where there are a few trees, and my sisters and I poked our heads out of the tree.  Another one was when all of us girls each had a tree in a line and then poked our heads out.  They're really neat, and if you ever need a picture with siblings or with friends..and you have trees, then I definitely recommend that pose.

    

     There is something else I want to talk about, and it's a totally different subject so I made an extra space between them to show you the difference!  See how nice I am? =D  Sorry, anyway.. I want to talk about car rides.  Why?  Because I have had an inkling to talk about them.  Plus, I also was in the car today... a lot of times actually.  And I have a list (which I am forming right now) about what makes a good car ride!

   1.  The people you are with.  Yep, that is the biggest one.  If you don't like the people who are in the same car, then the ride will most likely be not fun.  If you are uncomfortable with the people in the car, then it will be an uncomfortable ride.  If you do like the people, then it should be a fantastic trip!  There is different types of trips though, ones with a lot of people and ones with one or two.  Both are good for different reasons.  Like, I love car rides when it's just me and someone close to my age, or someone I really like, like my sisters or my best friend!  There is just a closeness in the car that is not there anywhere else.  And, with a group, say your family or something, it's nice because then it's full of jokes or something light, or it could be serious.

   2.  The radio station.  Now, I know not everyone has the radio on, and it increases the risks for an accident, but the radio station and what songs are playing really determine the mood for the car.  If it's one of your favorite songs, then you can sing aloud with the radio and I find that fun.  If it's a song that you personally do not really like... then you have to try to fill the car with conversation or listen to the song.  Personally, I would choose conversation.

   3.  How long the trip takes.  The length of trips vary all the time, and some lengths are better with certain people at certain times of day, etc.  Today, I wished I had longer to go because I was with people I like and I did not want to end that.  Other times it's like you've been in the car too long and you start getting tired of it.

  4.  The type of car you're in.  While the previous ones deal with the mood of the car, this deals with the comfort.  If the vehicle is too small, you can bet you would want to spend as little amount of time in the car as possible.  Leg room and elbow room is usually require for a more pleasant journey.  I do not know about you, but if you're too close to someone, and you accidentally hit them, tempers can rise pretty fast.

     I think that is it for my list, but I also think I am missing one.  If there's anything else to enhance your driving experience, please feel free to comment it!  I also know that some people get car sick and some do not like car rides, I however, am not one of those people. =D

    On another note, I've so many things to be doing that i should not even be blogging or on the computer!  I have to keep planning my Halloween party (which is SUNDAY!), write a story for writer's group (which is Tuesday!), finish my book (because I love reading, and I have to finish the Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien because that's a bookclub book for Wednesday!), say a decade of the rosary (since everyone needs to pray), keep studying math (that's boring, but I need to work on it), make sure my teeth are all nice for the dentist tomorrow (I very much dislike going to the dentist), and I really want to play runescape! (but that will take forever since I don't like to get off of it, especially if people I like to talk to is on).  So, wow, I have a ton of things to do and so little time to do it!

     This is the blog you've been waiting for: Classic DISNEY PRINCESS'S ON ICE!  Sadly, my brother was sick so he did not get to come, but that meant my friend got to come!  This was for my sister's birthday, an early birthday gift though.  The show was amazing!!  It took a while for us to find our seats, but when we did, then we were ready for the Disney Magic.  I had seen two ice shows that I remember: Beauty and the Beast and High School Musical.  They were both spectacular. 

     Back to tonight, there were all these little girls dressed as their favorite princess's.  It made me smile, when you're young like that, everything is magical.  I think it sort of rubbed off on me a little.  I even wore my Tinkerbell shirt to be in the festive mood.  The excitement was with me all through the show!  It made me want to go to Disneyworld so bad!   In the lobby there were picture spots with Minnie and Micky and I saw a plastic Cinderella for pictures as well.  The prices for food and such were extraordinary. $7 for a box of popcorn =(  needless to say, we did not get any souvenirs except for the ticket, which was not even that cool!  It did not have a picture of a princess or anything, neither was there a pamphlet, which would have been another memento to add to the collection.



Aladdin on the carpet and Genie



    The show started out with Tinkerbell, of course, but the first princess was Princess Jasmine =D  and there was a huge lamp.  Aladdin and Jasmine even rode on a magic carpet! 

     Then there was Sleeping Beauty, Ariel- the fish costumes were amazing!, Mulan, Snow White- they had all the seven dwarfs, who were adorable!, and then Belle.  They all had an ephemeral amount of time to tell their story.  They only skimmed the highlights, and at least some of a song or two from every movie.  That only took about an hour, and for a while I thought that would be it.  That Cinderella would never show, and it would be over, but of course, there was intermission!  I was like *whew*  more Princess's or at least Princess. 

     At first I could not believe that the whole second act was about Cinderella so I kept trying to think of the other princess's.  I actually thought a quite a few, but alas, it was all about Cinderella. The beginning of the second half is my favorite.  I don't know the name for them, but these royal guards or something from Cinderella came out all spiffy-like and did an awesome sequence!  Then the ice skaters made the magic of the fairytale with the evil stepmother and her two stepsisters, and of course, the prince.  The mice also made an appearance.  Who am I forgetting?  I think it starts with three words: Bippity Boppity, Boo!  That's right, the Fairy Godmother.  Cinderella rushed off to the ball in her pumpkin-made carriage where she was the fairest of them all.  Mmm mmm so this is love.. yes, I was in love with the show. 

     The shoe fit just right, and they lived happily ever after.  The ending sequence was really neat.  All the princes and princess's came out in wedding gear, which means all white. Even the one that started it all, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, were in their wedding attire.  That, my friends, was Disney Magic. =D  

 I don't really know what made Cinderella so special to have her whole story told, and if I were the other princess's, I'd be having some jealousy.  But that is besides the point, the show made me want to watch the movies, I still do.  In case you have not noticed, I am a Disney freak =D 

   The clock struck midnight, oh wait!  I'm still stuck on the story, but still, I was sad to leave, and no prince ran out to me to see if the slipper fit.  However, the show had a fairytale ending. 

   Now, I think the next time they do this, they should add Princess and the Frog (she IS a princess, you know), and I think if they can add Mulan then they should add Hercules, maybe even the Hunchback, and Pocahontas.  Or maybe they should just do a whole Disney Show, with all of them, who cares if you're a princess or not?

Oh yeah, I wanted to say that their costumes were wonderful!  And that scenes can really come alive with just a few props.

(This is my favorite blog so far =D) Psst, sorry if the pictures are blurry.  I would have liked to get some with the skaters/actors, but I do not think that was feasible.  I wish now that I had taken more; they're so pretty! It makes me want to be a skater, not like that is every going to happen.. but a dream is a wish your heart makes... and one day your rainbow will come smiling through.. a dream that you wish will come true!

A Moody Morning

Word of today found from my book Earth Song.  To be honest, I've heard this word before and I used to know it, but since I forgot it... here it is! 

ca·vort

   /kəˈvɔrt/ kuh-vawrt] –verb (used without object)

1. to prance or caper about.

2. to behave in a high-spirited, festive manner; make merry.

 

  Day offs are supposed to be fun, right?  You're supposed to cavort and be in high spirits all day, correct? Yes!  Of course usually what I like to do with a no school day is to sleep, yes sleeping because who does not love sleeping?  I'm sure if you start off your day saying "I'm going to be positive!"  and "I'm not going to let anything bring me down!" it might actually work.  I however said no such things this morning.  Naturally, I woke up late, I had no desire to get up since I had no plans for today besides seeing Disney On Ice.  When I do finally get up though, I did not expect my sister to be ragging on me to my family.  I do not know how this conversation started, but I heard her complaining that I don't want her reading my blog.  It's a matter of truth.  If I know my family is going to read this, then I wouldn't be able to complain about them, now would I?  At least, not without them getting mad. 
    Because last night as I was writing my blog, my sister and I also watched Smallville on the other computer next to me.  Every so often I could see her eyes follow the lines on the blog.  She even questioned me about something.  I did not like her reading it, so I deleted what I wrote and tried again.  And then again.  It was getting increasing difficult to write a blog without her seeing.  I did not like that.  It reminds me of what my family has said before when I minimize my IM's before someone can read them.  She said that closing out of what I'm typing makes her want to know what I'm typing more.  Ah, but if I didn't close out of it, then she would read it anyway.  It's a lose-lose situation, except for me if she (or anyone else) does not to get read what I'm writing.  Now, I'm not writing anything bad or usually secretive, I just have a peeve.  I guess it's because they're like spying on me or something, and who likes to be spied on?
   Yeah, that kind of made me wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.  What really irks me is when people act like they're superior than you and when they push you to your edge of your control.  They don't even care if you lose control or not, they just have fun with you and I have yet to find a suitable way to beat that.  What also irks me.. is that if I spend an hour or so each day cleaning/straightening up, without anyone else doing it, it's okay.  And then people, when they find in the goodness of their hearts that they want Everybody to help, they'll get mad at you for not wanting to; it's almost as if they can't clean without other people.  When I see other people working/cleaning though, I feel so guilty that I'm not doing anything that I usually have to get up and help.  Like now, I feel a pull.  *sigh*  That's the life of being helpful.  lol maybe I should have named this blog "Irks" or something.. I'm sorry I complained a lot!  Complaining is actually helping me though. 
     I think this will be a short blog since I will probably blog again later.  I do not like it when I have so many things to do and have no motivation for anything.  The thing you have to do is: just do it!  As my Writer's Group leader said: Don't Dread-Do.  I've formed a real attachment to that saying. I find it very useful and helpful.  Maybe you will too?

Cars, Crying, Coruscating Oh My!

   Since I'm a huge English lover, I figure, Why not broaden everyone's (including my own) vocabulary?  So, here will be my new rule for blogging: I will always have a new word in my blog.  It may be a word I've read in a book recently, a blog, or one I've heard somewhere.  I can also go look up a word. Today's word (courtesy of Dictionary.com) is *drum roll*

coruscate KOR-uh-skayt \  , verb;

1. To give off or reflect bright beams or flashes of light; to sparkle.

2. To exhibit brilliant, sparkling technique or style.

 

     Today has been a trying day for me.  After what meager schoolwork I've done (It's a Thursday, and there's no school on Friday!) my mom took me driving.  Yes, I'm a seventeen year old girl without her license.  It's a fail, right?  I'll blog about that all later, probably when I actually get my license.  Anyway, this mother daughter expedition led us up to the college where I'm going to go to for the first two years after high school.  Because, I never added this on to my worry list, but "Getting my license" is definitely on my "To-Do List".  Anyway, to get some worries off of me, after we got back into town, it was time to enter "phase two" of  "Doodle's (my nickname) growing up process".  See, I'm too scared and too not outgoing enough to just go to a store and ask for an application, but my mommy isn't =D  Moms are good for something!  (joking!  I know, Moms do way too much and are responsible for a lot of things).  Anyway, we stopped by well, only three places.. I thought it was more than that.  Three does not seem like a very uh... imposing or anything.  It's actually a very small number.  Oh well, three is better than it was before: one.  Of course... two of them said they were not hiring... so it defeats the purpose.  However!  Optimism is the key! The store I managed to fill an application out for, just had some people quit, so who knows, with a little luck and a lot of prayer I may be getting a job.. what fun..

       After that was all taken care of, I had to go to my Grandma's.  Usually we go on Wednesdays, but my sister wanted to talk to our two (almost 3) year old cousin to study his "speech" for a school project, and she can't come up on Wednesdays because she has class.  Well, because I said before I did not want to get into the whole "driving" thing, I'll have to make a short note.  I haven't driven with any one other than my mother and driving instructor.  Confusing story short, my mom and I were going to be driving one vehicle up to my grandma's while the rest of my family would be in the other.  Hmmm, since I want this to be a true account.. I was having a headache and driving makes me tired, so.. well, *cough* I'll just say something pushed me over the edge and I basically had tears, coruscating (see!  I used the word, and I can only hope it is used correctly)  from the sun, all on the drive there.  Oh well, as the Lion King says, it's time to put our behinds in the past.. or as the more common saying is...put our past behind us.   So.. moving on...

      I'm psyched for tomorrow!!  First, it's a day off and then... I get to see DISNEY ON ICE!!!  Albeit, I'll miss the last home football game, but ya know, I think I'll survive.  This special occasion is for my sister's birthday, which is on Tuesday!  My best friend is jealous.  I have great expectations for this show.  Skaters on the ice, coruscating (yes, I'm using the word again, hopefully correct) from the spotlights, telling my favorite Disney stories.  I'm sure it will be a magical experience, or at least a memorable one!  Next time or the time after that I promise I'll stop blogging about my boring life and on to more opinionated stuff like: Merlin!  (great show which I can not talk too much about if I want to have enough for a blog), Runescape! (possibly, since I play it so much), Writer's Group (I'll try to post what I write on here), and whatever strikes my mind!
