She Did It

It got me thinking, that show I woke up to. It's called 16 and Pregnant. What started out as sleepy nonchalance soon turned into avid interest. This young girl's life. Not in school. Doctor's appointments. Fights with her mother. Baby Showers. Giving birth at 17 years old. A world completely apart from own. But not so different from my moms.

She did it. She became an adult at 16 years old. The at-home studying to graduate high school. The doctor's appointments. The fights with her parents. Being at home alone, anticipating. The birth. My life.

My Mom.. is amazing. Watching this show made me realize how much my Mom sacrificed so that I could have the best life she could give me. I have massive amounts of respect for her. More than I could ever say. I love you.

And We Will..

I will:

Laugh at your jokes

Be proud of you

Always stay faithful

Love you

You will:

Kiss me when you come home from work

Kill spiders

Open tight jars

Reach the shelves I can't

And we will..

Promise to always work it out

Love eachother forever

Still hold hands when we're 92

And live happily ever after

All I ask, is that you love me in spite of all my bad habits, that you still want to be with me even when it's tough, and that you'll always be proud of our life together.. I'll wait

I Love These!

I'm such a sucker for things like this :D

What is you're current obsession?

My current obsession is probably...movies and tv shows. I've been unemployed for the past couple of weeks waiting for my new job to start and so I've been watching a lot of movies. I'm making my way through the seasons of Friends, and my recent movies have included, White Oleander, Vanity Fair, Australia, The Holiday, The Guardian, Princess Bride, Transformers, and PS I Love You to name just a few.

Coffee or Tea?

I'd have to say hot cocoa, but I'm definitely a fan of herbal tea. Peach and Apple Cranberry are my favorite teas.

What's for Dinner?

Hmm..recently dinner has mostly consisted of cereal. But I also eat massive amounts of potatoes.

What was the last thing you bought?

The last thing I bought was a movie actually, I bought Bourne Identity.

What are you listening to right now?

I'm listening to Before It's Too Late by the Goo Goo Dolls. Such a good song.

What is your favorite ice cream flavor?

Probably Ol South Fudge Pie from Umpqua Dairy..

What is your favorite color?

My default favorite color is blue. I have tons of blue things, but I also like red and gold.

What is your favorite piece of clothing in your wardrobe?

At this point, considering that I don't do anything all day, it's probably my room mates sweats. They're hecka comfortable. But when I'm being more productive it's probably..hmm I still don't know.

What is your dream job?

An actress
An amazing artist (painting, scultpting, etc)
An author
A mother

How many times do you press the snooze button before you get up?

I haven't actually set an alarm for close to a month because I don't do anything, ever. But when I do set an alarm it usually depends on late I stayed up. But anywhere from 1 to 4 times. As an average though probably about 2.


I would tag some people.. but I don't actually know anyone who reads my blog who would do this on their blogs. So :)

Transformers 2!!!

okay.. so I just went and saw Transformers 2 and it reaffirmed my love for Shia Labeauf.. I highly recommend it. It's pretty darn intense. One of my new favorite movies.

For Forever..

So pretty much my whole life I've wanted to be an actress. As a young child I would watch movies over and over focusing on one character that I found intriguing and then try and act like them for the rest of the day. As I grew older I used to pretend that just my ever day life was being filmed and I was the lead. So I guess you could say I'm always acting. There is something incredibly intriguing to me about becoming someone else. I don't know if I'm ever going to be an actress. But if I could have one wish granted to me, it would be to perform. I don't just want to be famous, because that's a hard life. But I want to play those characters, all of them.

Another thing that I do, that might be a little bit crazy, but I like to research actors and actresses and see who they really are, behind their celebrity standing. I like to know how they view acting, and how they go about becoming a better actor. So the actor that I've most recently been looking at is Shia Labeauf. I first saw Shia in Even Stevens on the Disney Channel, and I loved his seemingly effortless confident humor. As he's grown I've seen this in all of his movies. He has excellent comedic timing. And to me, he's real. He could be just another guy.

Anyway.. those are my thoughts. I want to act. I want to be somebody else for awhile.

My Dad

At this point my dad is the most important man in my life. I love him more than anything. I can't remember a single time in my life where my dad wasn't there for me when I needed him. He's not only my dad, he's one of the most amazing men I've ever had the chance to know. The circumstances under which I was born put an incredible amount of pressure on my young father, and no one would have been surprised if he had fallen and gone the way most teenage fathers go. But he didn't. My dad worked incredibly hard, and pulled through to be the best dad a girl could ever want.

Reasons why I love my dad:

• He's interested in my life, he really cares about me: My favorite thing is how my dad will call from work just to ask how I'm doing and to tell me he misses me.
• He gives the best hugs: I feel incredibly loved and safe when my dad pulls me into a hug. I never feel too old to cuddle up to my dad.
• He always has good advice: It doesn't seem to matter what my problem is my dad always knows the answer.
• He's proud of me: Even though I'm not exactly where I'd hoped to be at this time in my life, I know my dad is always proud of me. He believes in me, and he never seems to have any doubt about the things I can accomplish.
• He's always there: From spending hours with me and my brother out with our sheep, not to mention an entire day at lamb show, to coming to every single one of my piano recitals my dad is always there. He'd never miss it, no matter what. He's always willing to drop whatever and help with homework or talk.

Basically my dad is the best. It's been said that the first man a girl falls in love with is her dad, and that is definitely true for me. Someday when I grow up, I want to marry a man just like my dad.

Happy Father's Day!!

Week of Bands

I have a lot of new music to share.

Carolina Liar

So the lead singer of this band is from South Carolina. The other band members excluding one are mostly from Sweden. Their music has so much feeling in it. They mean what they say.

My favorites:

I'm Not Over: I absolutely love the lead singers voice. This is also a really catchy tune. I just love it.

Coming to Terms: I feel like this song has so much emotion behind it. They sing about real stuff. And again.. I love his voice.

Check out all their stuff though, cus it's all stinkin good.
