To blog, or not to blog... That is the question.
Poor Shakespeare. He probably didn't know then that what he wrote would be quoted and torn apart today. Whatever.
I haven't blogged in a while. Not real sure that I have much to say. This is gonna be a random, full of crap kinda blog. Hmm. That's catchy. That's the title now. Perfect.
I saw Something Borrowed today. I wouldn't suggest it. It all got very confused and complicated. Do you want me, do you want her, do you want me, do you want her. blah blah blah. I've heard it all before. More than once in that movie. The best part about it was the best friend character who had all the funny lines. He's actually the guy from the Office... he dates Pam? I think his name is Jim? whateverrrr.
I'm sitting her all alone on this wonderful Wednesday night because I decided I didn't want to go to the Hangover 2 this evening (who even cares if it's good right? hahah)... and I have successfully developed such strange sleeping patterns that I always miss any and all family members when they are present and awake. haha
And dangit, I'm SICK of bonfires! bahaha Our senior class has been trying to get something like a party with one huge gathering where every single person in the senior class attends. Let's just say it, guys. It's not gonna happen. So I'm sick of all these half-ass fires. Can't we all just hole up in someone's house and watch a movie instead? Play some serious Taboo or Catchphrase? It would be more fun, in my opinion, and I wouldn't smell like the great outdoors everytime I go home. Grrrrrrr.
Okay. I was kinda sorta (not really) joking about the Catchphrase thing.
I think I'm irritable tonight. Hmmm. I have no reason to be. I was talking to dear Meghan about this earlier. She was having a day where she didn't really have any reason to be upset or angry, but she was in a bad(ish) mood anyway. I'm having one of those days now. Grrrr. haha Have you ever had one of those? It's so dumb, to be irritable without anything worth getting grumpy about...
I honestly have no idea where I wanted to go with this.
And so I leave you on a stupid note.
Good night. Love. Byyyyyyyyyye. <3

I'm a Disney junkie.
So I was gonna do a blog about something almost personal. A lot of you who actually know me understand that I'm graduating this weekend... WHOO! So I could talk about change, and appreciating blah blah blah. I could, and I probably will eventually. But not today. Today is saved for DISNEY!!!
I looked up a list of Disney movies... cuz I'm cool... and Wikipedia came through for me. Not only that, they are organized by date of release. And SO, what I plan on doing is making a complete list of Disney movies I think you NEED to see in order to deserve to live. Gotta earn your keep. =P So I'm just going to list all (and I'm not kidding you, all) the movies I think are worth seeing... and I might defend myself or give you a little information about the movie. Let's GO!
1930s:
[ ] Snow White and the Seven Dwarves - released in 1937!! CRAZY OLD!
1940s:
[ ] Dumbo
[ ] Bambi
1950s:
[ ] Cinderella
[ ] Lady and the Tramp
[ ] Sleeping Beauty
1960s:
[ ] One Hundred and One Dalmations
[ ] The Sword in the Stone
1970s:
[ ] The Aristocats - a seriously underappreciated Disney movie in my opinion. =)
[ ] Robin Hood
[ ] The Rescuers - this one has the mice, right?
1980s:
[ ] The Fox and the Hound
[ ] The Great Mouse Detective - you haven't lived until you've heard a tiny girl mouse have a Scottish accent! =D
[ ] The Brave Little Toaster - I remember liking this, I think...
[ ] Oliver and Company - I used to watch this over and over and over and over and over and over and....
[ ] The Little Mermaid
1990s: This decade was a particularly good time for Disney movies, in my opinion!
[ ] The Rescuers Down Under
[ ] Beauty and the Beast
[ ] Aladdin <3
[ ] THE LION KING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[ ] The Hunchback of Notre Dame - if you watched this when you were a little kid and hated it, I understand. But try watching it again... it's not a kids movie. The music is amazing, and it deals with some serious issues. Trust me. =)
[ ] Mulan
[ ] Toy Story
2000s:
[ ] The Emperor's New Groove - !
[ ] Monster's Inc
[ ] Lilo and Stitch
[ ] Treasure Planet
[ ] Finding Nemo
[ ] Cars - MIDWEST REPRESENT
[ ] Ratatouille
[ ] WALL-E
[ ] Bolt - I originally didn't want to see this... but I ended up thinking it was really cute, and really clever. It's about a dog who thinks he has superpowers because he played a super dog on a TV show. SO cute!
[ ] Up - it's tragic and beautiful. I love it.
[ ] The Princess and the Frog
2010s:
[ ] Toy Story 3 - really hits home for people my age going off to college.
[ ] Tangled - I haven't actually seen this, but I've heard very good things... so....
PHEW. I love Disney. =) Now, I want yoooou all to tell me what movies are your favorites. I also want you to yell at me for the movies I didn't include... =) Oh, you thought the list was complete? No. Of course not. I wouldn't add the movies I don't like, would I!? Anyway. I provided the little [ ]s so that you could check off the list if you wanted. I love lists. Maybe you don't. Moving right along.
**side note! I only included animated movies. There's plenty of other killer movies - Pirates of the Caribbean, Chronicles of Narnia, blah blah blah... but I didn't want to go there right meow.
If you're someone who reads my blog but can't comment here on blogger, then leave me a message on Facebook if you've gotta get it out. =) I'd LOVE that.
haha weird blog, fellas. Thanks for reading. =) Byyyyyyyyyyye!

Popular vs. Well-Liked.... Hmmmm.
Hi guys! =D So I haven't blogged in a while... again... and I've noticed that my last blog (or so? idk) was about makeup and whatnot. Not too deep. That's unusual. HA! So I decided I'd go back to my social issues/advice kind of things...
I am not really saying that I'm right. Of course, I believe all my opinions to be perfect, but I know this isn't the case. Just hang in here with me, let me know what you think. =)
I guess this blog is gonna be rather personal without being specific, if that makes sense. H'okay, jumping right in. I had a hard time when I was younger. I got picked on a lot because I was kinda gross... and then I started skipping a lot of school because I got picked on. Vicious cycle. You could say I wasn't very popular at all... and it bugged me. I had a good couple close friends. Well, good as they can be in middle school. Everyone sucks in middle school, me included! haha but I'm sure that's a whole new topic for a new blog... SO! This bothered me, having a couple close friends but not being seen as cool.
Anyone who knows me will realize that this changed all too quickly. =)
I've always been fairly level-headed and kind of in my own world... so I sort of got over this. But then I had this new philosophy, and this in particular is what I would like to share with EVERYONE. It has made me so much happier, and anyone who is having issues perhaps similar to the issues I had should give it a shot.
Try to be well-liked instead of popular.
Huh? What? Well-liked and popular mean the same thing, right?
Wrong.
Not to me!
Before I go off on my little rant, let me just say that you can be BOTH popular and well-liked at the same time. I'm not. hahaha
Popular people are the ones who are 'cool'. People talk about them and want to be like them. Have you heard what happened to so-and-so? I heard she got caught blah blah blah... Oh my gosh, I thought he was blah blah blah. I'm sure you have at least a couple people in mind when I say this. (Again, they're not necessarily bad people. A lot of the popular people I know are REALLY nice. Just sayin!)
But I personally strive to be well-liked instead of popular. I want people to look at me and not think 'Oh, she's so cool' but instead think 'She's such a nice girl'. Instead of people wanting to be like me or talk about me to other people... I'd rather you talk to me and ask my advice. =) I would much rather be out in the open talking to all kinds of people than up on a pedestal. Is this all making sense? I guess I associate popularity with a sort of caste system, with the populars at the top and the not-so-populars at the bottom. I really try my hardest to give people a chance when I meet them instead of basing my perceptions off what other people say. Well, I try. It's really hard.
What I want is for people to like me for ME. Not for my friends or who I hang out with on the weekend. Not for how normal I am. (or am not. Let's be honest!) Not for how popular I may or may not be.
I think it is really important that people separate popularity from being well-liked. Of course, as always, this is just my two cents. Take it or leave it, but at least consider it.
You know, I think my little philosophy has actually helped me quite a bit... I always tried (key word, tried) to be nice to people no matter who they were... That's the well-liked part of the deal... and maybe in doing so, if I have become more popular.... (hypothetical here, people!) then I'm not just in with the people at the top. I am friends (ahem, acquaintances) with all kinds of people.
Freshman or senior. Fat or skinny. Girl or guy. Pretty or not.
Give me reason to like you, and I'll reciprocate. =) (Whoo usage of vocabulary words from school in every day life!)
Alright, I've said enough. Tell me what you think, and be honest! Tell me if you're confused. Ask me for advice - I LOVE giving my opinion, obviously. =) Also, tell me if there's anything in particular you think I should blog about... I'm up for suggestions. Boom baby.
Thanks for checking in. Byyyyye! <3
