Fist Pumpin' Like a Champ

BAHAHAHAHA.

Schools starting next week, but there's still time to let the last bit of summer resonate with Huck Finn on tape, and the el Jersey Shore.

One week!

Because We ARE All Human.

So many good things about this video. Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Barbara Walters, This Changed Me.

   

Several weeks ago, my family bonded over a "What Would You Do?" episode. Of course, every Friday night  after that is 20/20, which I really don't usually stick around to watch. But that weekend, Barbara Walters covered a special called '7 Going on 70'. These girls have Progeria.

And as the special showed these two just darling pictured girls, and an older one who lives in the U.K, it really made me evaluate my life. Because, these girls have SO much life in them. They don't let life stop them, they don't slow down, and they're happy. They know that they are different, but they've accepted it, and the challenges that life brings them.

This episode left me with a smile of my face, and the greater need to give. These girls are simply so incredible, and the little joys they experience every single day, make me want to change my perspective. How can these girls, have such an impact on me?

They live their lives beautifully.

Happy Meals.

After so much happy yesterday, I went into this hollow shell mentality. But I was able to finish one of my AP reading books. It was tres fabulous. 

Because I really don't feel like writing to much, I'm leaving you with this video. Which really moved me the first time that I saw it. You really can't stop helping out people, can't ever stop being a shoulder. 

I'm Never Doing This Again. (lies).

Awkward Moment Here.

I rode my first roller coasters ever today. Yes, at seventeen years old.

Let's be honest, the feeling of flying our of your seat, and your stomach flying up through your neck isn't really my thing. Like, at all. But three rides later, with three of the best people ever to go with, I'm still in one piece, writing to you.

If it wasn't for them I don't really know of I ever would have walked up those dreaded steps, and buckled myself in for such a memorable part of my life.

Now, the video linked above just made me laugh, and there's a part where one of the guys said that he was never doing this again. I said that three times. I only ended up meaning it once.

Thank you everyone, and if this was an oober personal life blog, I would tell you all everything that it meant to me that is to be said. But I won't. Some of the most beautiful things are kept under the radar. And those are my feelings for you.

Twinsies!

One Second, MOVE

MOVE

Do me a favor a seriously watch this video.
MOVE is important to me.
Basically, this guy captured one second from his adventures all over the darned world. And it's incredible. I'm in complete awe every single time I see it. In fact.... I think I'll go watch it again.

Ahhhh.  : )

I've started trying to live by a motto that's something along the lines of, "Hey you. Life never stops, why should you?" And everytime I curl up in a little ball to cry myself to sleep, I repeat this and question the reason for my sorrows. Is it even worth it all?

No, not really. I value tears. I cry at everything. If you didn't know that about me... obviously we haven't watched many movies together.

Because... I tend to be seriously emotional. I put way to much of my heart in just about everything I do, and it tends to break me down the moment I get frazzled. This is why I've made the "Don't Stop Moving" business important to me.

I like to go back and relive things. I like to recite my old poetry and stick myself back into that moment, and go and read reallllly old diary entries. I even wrote letters to God at one point. Mostly about how I thought I was going to fail my drivers test, but, the point here is to say that I love reminiscing.

Something about reminding yourself of memories is a comfort to me, but it's slowing me down.

And like MOVE, I'm finding that if I can take things in stride, and to simply keep moving, I'm happier. So much happier. Because I have no anchor to keep me stuck.

And it's quite simply fabulous.

Have an incredible week!

Your horn is distracting.

Hump day.

And I've been pacing around my house feeling like a piece of me is missing. So I decided to stumble a tad to look for some thrilling pictures and quotes, and came across this.

It's cute, and funny, and I totally understand and relate.

Part of the overall piece is missing, maybe that piece for me is right underneath my nose.

Working.Towards.This.Weekend.

Mondays and Engagements.

There's this website.

Rightttt here.

Okay. Anyways. If you click through the website you'll stumble upon the engagement photos. Well, there are some just flat out adorable ones. And then there are some insanely cool and creative ones. So, after some serious website snooping, I picked my favorites out to share with all ya'll.

Notebook, anyone?

Seriously. Why is this so cute?!

Happy Monday, everyone! 

Hope your week is fabulous! 

Harry Potter vs. Twilight

Instead of doing a "WHOO. Saturday night." themed post, I figured I would talk about quotes. This one in particular. Because, here's Mr. Stephen King, (and while I had to wiki him, only to find out he wrote the book of one of my least favorite movies on the face on the planet,) a seriously talented writer, and does know what he's talking about.

Forever and always, I'm going to be a Potterhead. The fan title is horrific, but still, it's in my blood. It's been my childhood. I was that kid with the lego castle, the lego dungeons, the lego quidditch set. I even had a lego three-headed dog. And a wand. And a cloak. And my sister and I would pretend to be the characters, and we'd make each other class work. So, have I taken a Transfiguration pop quiz? Yes, yes I have. And you know what? I aced it!

Twilight was my middle school life, however. I was one of the first to read Twilight at my middle school. While this may not be something I should be advertising, I think it's funny how popularity escalated after that volleyball season in seventh grade. So, I'm not bashing Twilight. I think there's better Stephanie Meyer, but it's not horrid for the middle school aged.

So, when I saw the quote, my initial reaction was that I laughed.

Honestly, Bella spends most of the first part of Twilight focused on the boy. And this is typical girl behavior, but it is a tad creepy. Edward is a tad creepy.

But Harry Potter is a tad whiny and angsty.

Mostly, I enjoy the quote. It makes me laugh. Because, as children we crave adventure, and imagination, and we loose this as our lives go on. We get to middle school, and the on switch for hormones gets turned on, and this lusting for adventure becomes a lusting for someone.

Maybe it's just me, but I prefer the romance in Harry Potter better. Let's be friends and I'll fall in love with you that way, rather then the Glitter cannon, hey buddy, you're hot. Let's get married now.

You know it's been a good night when you want to take your clothes off.

So, had a good ol' blastity blast last night. 

Lots of emotion.

I really don't know what else to say.

It was so much fun.

And the movie went so well. 

Better then I could've imagined. 

Thank heavens that it works and made her smile.

Thanks the important part.

Because that's what the last three/four days have led up to,

that moment. 

The aww's at the end.

The almost tears.

The tackle hug. 

And then there's the dancing, and goodness.

You're hot,

You're cat,

You're Ke$ha dancing, 

You're attempt at seducing me,

You're closeness,

You're awkward dancing,

You're Gaga face,

You're Glee Project love,

You're shortshort hair,

You're brohug,

You're Tangled-ness,

You're knowledge on Jersey Shore, and Snooki,

You.

You made it so much fun.

Thank you.
