Right Here from Glory Days

I'm only putting this video on here because Steven Booth (the guy that's singing) is absolutely adorable and he has one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard. This song, Right Here (reprise) is from the musical Glory Days. It's beautiful. Listen to it. Now.

If you need to listen to any more that this kid has to offer, you can also YouTube search the musical Edges and listen to those songs. They are equally as amazing as this one. I would recommend listening to Like Breathing, I Once Knew and Pretty Sweet Day.

The Unauthorized Autobiography of Samantha Brown

Being the great sister that she is, my sister emailed me a link to a website that has five of the songs to the new musical The Unauthorized Autobiography of Samantha Brown (one of them being Run Away With Me, if you remember my previous post about that song). The songs are Freedom, Say the Word, I Know My Girl, Run Away With Me and Remember This. Besides Run Away With Me, I would have to say that either Freedom or Remember This is my favorite of the five. So as my gift to you, here's the link. http://sambrown1.bandcamp.com/album/the-unauthorized-autobiography-of-samantha-brown Enjoy!

instead of working on my portfolio...

So my winter term portfolio is due on Monday and instead of working on it, I have decided to...
  1. color pictures for all of my friends
  2. clean my room
  3. lay on the floor and listen to music
  4. take a nap
  5. do other homework
  6. applied for jobs
  7. watched 6 episodes of Say Yes to the Dress
  8. blogged
  9. finished a book
  10. paint my nails
So seeing as though I haven't even started my portfolio yet, I should probably start now.

find your fairy name

So my sister emailed me this website where you can get your very own fairy name. Instead of Pelekania, I would prefered to now be called Meadow Reedwand.
I...
play reed pipes and sings spellbinding songs 
live in fields where wild flowers and poppies grow
am only seen when the seer holds a four-leafed clover
wear a skirt made of red petals and have deep green butterfly wings

Sounds great doesn't it? To find out what your fairy name is click here.

Disney movie quotes

Guess the Disney movie that each quote is from and which character(s) said it.

Movie 1
Character 1: Ask her who she is, and what she's doing here!
Character 2: Ah, yes. What are you, and who are you doing here?

Movie 2
Well... guess he won't need me anymore. What does an actor want with a conscience, anyway?

Movie 3
I seen a peanut stand, and heard a rubber band, I've seen a needle that winked its eye.

Movie 4
If you can't say something nice... don't say nothing at all.

Movie 5
You are the only ladies of the household, I hope, er, I presume?

Movie 6
If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?

Movie 7
But, Captain, wouldn't it be more humane-like to slit his throat?

Character 2: That's because it's on you, dear.

Movie 10
Character 1: How 'bout I beat your butt right now?

Movie 11
Character 1: Did you hear that?
Character 2: What?
Character 1: That noise.
Character 2: What noise?
Character 1: That noise I just heard. Do you hear it?
Character 2: Oh yeah. Sounded like an annoying bug asking me irritating questions... Oh, good, it's stopped now.

Movie 12
Character 1: Why, they might even make a motion picture about you.
Character 2: Motion picture?
Character 1: Oh. Well, that's something like television... without commercials.

Movie 13
That's a piecrust promise. Easily made, easily broken.

Movie 14
Character 1: Oh? And just how do you think he will survive?
Character 2: "How do you think he will... " What do you mean how do you think he... He's with me, ain't he? And I'll learn him all I know.
Character 2: Oh? That shouldn't take too long.

Movie 15
Character 1: Okay, let's charge!
Character 2: Wait a minute. I'm the leader! I'm the one that says when we go.
[pause]
Character 2: Here we go. Charge!

Movie 16
Oh, he's so handsome... just like his reward posters.

Movie 17
Character 1: Say, have you seen anything of a mean, fresh, kid, about ye big? Answers to the name of [title character's name].
Character 2: Half of the kids here in this town answer to [title character's name]. Other half don't answer.

Movie 18
Character 1: His ears are almost as big as yours.
Character 2: That's not the part you gotta worry about.
Character 1: Gosh, look at those teeth.
Character 2: That's the part you gotta worry about!

Movie 19
You know, I feel really bad not knowing your name. Maybe I can guess. Is it, uh... Mildred?

Movie 20
Character 1: [Character 2], you don't have a way with children. You must gain their confidence... make them like you.
Character 2: Yeah? How do you do that?
Character 1: You FORCE them to like you, idiot!

Movie 21
Character 1: I want to do something for her... but what?
Character 2: Well, there's the usual things: flowers... chocolates... promises you don't intend to keep...

Movie 22
PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWERS!
Itty-bitty living space!

Movie 23
What I am saying to you, is that you are the kind of club-toting, raw-meat-eating, Me-Tarzan-You-Jane-ing, big, bald bubblehead that can only count to ten if he's barefoot or wearing sandals.

 Movie 24
Character 1: How 'bout I beat your butt right now?
Character 2: How 'bout I draw a line down the middle of your head so it looks like a butt?

Movie 25
Can we take a direct flight back to reality, or do we have to change planes in Denver?

Movie 26
Character 1: Hey! Who's the pig?

Character 1: While you're here, who's giving out speeding tickets and scooping dead animals off the highway?
Character 2: All right, no more questions.

Movie 30
Character 1: Excuse me, I think the word you're searching for is "space ranger".
Character 2: The word I'm searching for, I can't say, because there's preschool toys present.

Movie 31
Candlelight, privacy, music. Can't think of a better place for hand-to-hand combat.

Movie 32
I'm a big tough girl. I tie my own sandals and everything.

Movie 33
Look you get porridge! And it's happy to see ya!

Movie 34
I was saved! I was saved by a flying wild man in a loincloth.

Movie 35
I have never worn pantyhose but it sounds very dangerous.

Movie 36
Character 1: Okay, I think I know how to make this all go away. What happens when the whistle blows in five minutes?
Character 2: I get a time out?
Character 1: Everyone goes to lunch! Which means the scare floor will be...
Character 2: ...Painted?

Movie 37
Character 1: Humans - -think they own *everything*.

story

So last Saturday my sister, Courtney, and my brother, Kyle, and I were browsing around Barnes and Noble when suddenly my sister froze and gasped in excitement. She had found an entire collection of Barbie coloring books, sticker books, and chapter books. Just to remind you, my sister is 19, not 4. So as we were standing there looking at Barbie and Ken doll books, I read the sign that is posted above the display. The sign was an announcement that Jef Beck, the owner of the largest Ken doll collection in the United States, would be at Barnes and Noble next Sunday. I'm not sure if I found this amusing or just down right sad. I mean really? This man surely can't be married. He's like the crazy cat lady only with Ken dolls. I wonder if he talks to them. Wouldn't surprise me. This man needs some serious help. I mean sure, when I was little, my brother played Barbies with my sister and I some times. But even when he was like 5, he was still embarrassed to be playing with dolls. I only had maybe 2 Ken dolls out of my collection of 50+ Barbies, (one of them being Aladdin.) I can't wait for Sunday to come now because I will be the first one in line for Mr. Jef Beck's autograph.

if only sports teams had better mascots

So the other day my sister and I were talking about sports teams and I asked how do they come up with their names? As we know, the first part is always where they're from, but who gets to decide what the name/mascot is? If it was up to me, every sports team would have mythological names like the unicorns or the centaurs. I mean really, who wants to be something so stupid like the lions or the bears when you could be a unicorn?! So my sister came up with some better names for these teams.

Football teams:
Indianapolis Unicorns (or pentacorns, if you prefer)
Detroit Yetis
Cleveland Cyclops'
Houston Hydras
Green Bay Gorgons
New Orleans Nymphs
Cincinnati Centaurs
Atlanta Harpies
Carolina Satyrs
Jacksonville Vampires
Oakland Werewolves
New York Kraken
Denver Dragons
Dallas Zombies
Pittsburgh Pegasus'
Washington Elves
Miami Mermaids
San Francisco Sirens
Tampa Bay Banshees
St. Louis Lorelei
San Diego Fairies
Minnesota Megalodon
Kansas City Sphinxes
Chicago Chimeras
Tennessee Trolls
New York Gnomes
Arizona Aliens
Baltimore Basilisks
Buffalo Boggarts
Philadelphia Phoenixes
New England Nemean Lions








Baseball:
Chicago Griffons
Baltimore Manticores
Boston Goblins
Cleveland Leprechauns
Cincinnati Gremlins
Atlanta Kappas
Colorado Gargoyles
Philadelphia Hellhounds
Milwaukee Minotaurs
Houston Hippogriffs
Seattle Spirits
Florida Furies
San Francisco Incubus’ 
Minnesota Immortals
San Diego Dementors
New York Thestrals
Arizona Imps
Kansas City Pixies
Oakland Demons
Pittsburgh Poltergeist
Detroit Doppelgangers
St. Louis Ligers
Tampa Bay Kampe
Texas Demigods
New York Naiads
Los Angeles Laestrygonians
Washington Warlocks
Toronto Tritons

Now I will admit, if you have read the Percy Jackson and the Olympians books or have studied mythology, these names would make a lot more sense. They are all, like I said, mythological creatures or related to mythology. If you can think of any more, leave me some ideas!

the pros and cons of life

Just in case you can't read this awful handwriting, pros: parties, cake, love, cartoons, not being dead; cons: sucks, sickness, job, family, school, hard. Well looks like they covered all of the pros ans cons of life. I don't know about you but the only reason I'm still living is for cake... and cartoons. I do have to say though, the person who wrote this must have a really hard life. I mean they have to deal with a job, family and school! Wow. Somebody should talk to this kid. They need to see a specialist.

Lemons are sour. Gross.
