The Second Star To The Right (Jonatha Brooke version)

Really in a Peter Pan mood today for some odd reason. I love anything about Peter Pan. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm Peter Pan/Tinker Bell obsessed. My sister and I read the book and saw the Disney movie when we were kids and then I read the book again myself as a teenager. Peter Pan is my comfort zone. This version of "The Second Star To The Right" is very pretty. Jonatha Brooke did a good job.

Rewrite Your Own Fairy Tale

There comes a time in every girl’s life when she has to stop acting like a damsel in distress, start standing on her own feet, and with all of her faith within her heart and soul, rewrite her own fairy tale. Gaining bravery, she won’t always rely on a knight in shining armor and she faces her own fears. Even though she can’t always see it, she’ll know that love, magic, and light is all around her.

Happy Thanksgiving!

What I'm Thankful For

I'm thankful for my loving family: my biggest fans, my toughest critics, my true companions. I don't know what I would do without them. They love me for me.
I'm thankful for my accepting friends (including my lovely boyfriend): the people who love my craziness, hang with me no matter what, and make me smile. 
I'm thankful for my family's and friends' health and my health.
I'm thankful for food and shelter. Not everyone has those things. 
I'm just thankful, grateful for a GREAT life!! 


Happy Thanksgiving!

COOL! New Kids On The Block and Backstreet Boys

It was the coolest thing ever! New Kids On The Block and The Backstreet Boys performed together at the American Music Awards. 



Now only if *NSYNC would get back together, then I'll be the happiest woman alive! Justin, Chris, Joey, Lance, J.C. if you're reading this (I seriously doubt it but you never know), please make my dream come true and reunite.

Random Update (and Shane Dawson)

Okay, it's really 12:33 AM, even though Blogger is saying it's only 10:53 PM, and my stomach sort of hurts. Instead of writing, I've been watching YouTube videos all night. I promise that Part 1 of The Impairy Story is coming. I've just been getting distracted lately. Darn you Rick! Just kidding, I love him. Anyway, I'm slowly writing, little by little. You'll know more about Shadow the impairy soon. Here's a YouTuber that I've been watching. He's hilarious. His name is Shane Dawson. Enjoy.



I better go now before Mom falls asleep. Smooches!

Happy Birthday Steven

Steven was a good friend. He always managed to make me laugh no matter what. When I think about growing up and going to school with him, I remember the little things like him making him silly faces at the gym teacher, or telling me the latest blond joke, or him and I yelling "BUMP" before the bus hit a bump, or him waving from the bus window when I was dropped off, or when I sat with him at lunch, which soon became my favorite part of the day. Steven was funny and fun. Yes, we sometimes fought like brother and sister, but I loved him, still do. I miss him everyday, but I know that he's watching over all of his family and friends. Happy birthday Stevie Wevie. I love you. 

Halloween Camp 2010

Last weekend, I went to Wonderland Camp. I saw old friends: Kortney, Kelsey, Ashley, Morgan, Sophie, Sam, Jake, Toby, Andrew, Marcella, and Lou. I also made new friends: Lauren and Bethany. Each time that I go back, I realize how much I miss the little things from Wonderland like the noisy dinning hall, the old jukebox that has been there since I could remember, the homey cabins, smiling faces everywhere, and the bumpy rocks underneath my wheels. On Friday evening, we had movie night in the dinning hall. We watched ‘Monsters Vs. Aliens‘. It’s a cute movie. Kortney and I shared our two bags of chips while watching it.

Saturday morning, we had open activities and I did crafts. I made a paper bat to hang on my chair and I made a friendship necklace for my friend Lou. Then in the afternoon, we went on a hay ride and sang songs. The hay ride was quite calming. Kortney and I were laughing at the paper ghosts in the trees. After the hay ride, we had snack and ate Apple Nachos (apples with caramel, nuts, and chocolate chips).  We then had rest time and I took a nap for once. It was nice.  After dinner, we dressed up and trick-or-treated around camp. I was an evil queen with a black cape and silver crown. The dance started afterwards. With the music pumping as always, everyone was dancing and all I could see were masks and costumes. They also had the Mizzou football game on mute on the big-screen TV and people would suddenly cheer when the team made a touchdown. I’m not a sports fan but I still thought that it was cool. I danced with Jake and his parents, Kelsey, Morgan, Kortney, Ashley, Sophie, and Toby. It was a fun night. 

On Sunday, we ate breakfast and just played bingo until our rides got there. This weekend was a blast! It was good to see some old friends. Now the countdown until summer starts, down to when I go back to Wonderland. I might go two or three times this summer. I can’t wait!

The Impairy Story: My Online Story Series

Check out the beginning of my story series that I'm working on StoryWrite.com . http://storywrite.com/story/518970 . It's going to be in 3 parts.

Beautiful by Bethany Dillon

I adore this song. It has very lovely and meaningful lyrics. It's so spiritual. It made me tear up the first time I watched the video.

Halloween Girl by Ghosts on the Radio

In the spirit of Halloween, I posted this video. I love the video and the song. The lyrics are eerie and haunting.  The video also plays out like a horror movie which I love.

Quicksand by Britney Spears

I love this unreleased Britney Spears song. Lady GaGa wrote it for her but she never used it. She should've put it on her CD.
