Skippy Peanut Butter and other Essentials...

Wanna know a secret?
Promise not to tell?
We are standing by a wishing well...

I love Snow White...

So as of like half an hour ago, I have no more classes for a little over a week...
YAY SPRING BREAK!!!
I'm going to visit my awesome friend Amanda in the Denver area, and I'm so excited because it's been about two years since we've been face to face, and I miss her!!! Also, I get to visit my cousins Beth and Stephen and little Avery, and see my Uncle Brian and Aunt Kim...
(psst!! they're my favorites!! but don't tell anyone!!)
Ha, but seriously, I'm so excited, and yes, it will be a long drive--I'll be careful, Mom!!--but it will be awesome, and I love to drive, I really do. Plus, I have an excuse to make a bunch of mixed cds, and I'm stuck on Jet and Coldplay and Keane and Aqualung and Gary Jules...yeah, so lots to listen to, and it will be another adventure.
EVERYTHING is an adventure.
Otherwise it's just boring.
And life cannot be boring!! I refuse permission for boring-ness!!
Okay?
Okay.
ANYWAYS...
I have laundry and dishes to do, and a few papers due when I get back that I should at least get a rough draft done before I leave, and then work on the rest there. Oh! and I think I'm going to make bread to bring down, cuz there ain't nothin like cardamom bread, and I have to share it with the world!! Or just Amanda and her family haha. Also making a pretty thing in crocheting, gotta finish that up...
So much to do, so little time!!

I'm late
I'm late
For a very important date

Speaking of Alice in Wonderland...
Must dash!!

Hope you all have a great Friday!!

Mad World...

I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had

Do you know how hard it is to stay positive?
You don't, do you?
You think, wow, this girl is perky, excited, hyper and she must be just the happiest person in the world!!

Well...

The happiest person in the world cries herself to sleep...
Where the happiest person in the world is plagued by nightmares that grow steadily worse by the day...
So when the happiest person in the world wakes up, she's not sure if she should ever sleep again...
And then once she's fully awake and out of dreamland, the happiest person in the world is plagued with doubts about life, school, family...God...
Because the happiest person in the world is starting to crack.
Tears are coming during the day...
Smiles are starting to fade...
And the happiest person in the world just wants to give up...

But...

I have a reputation to uphold...

Bring on the cheerleader personality!!

(And maybe stash some chocolate around for when it gets rough)

YAY HOORAY!!!

So my lovely not-so-little younger sister has a blog...
And you should start reading it!!

http://ellenhorsecrazy.blogspot.com

Awesomeness...
In fact...
I shall write a poem to commemorate the occasion...

My baby sister
I really miss her
We don't get to talk that much
But now today
I say 'Hooray!'
With this we can almost touch

Haha, so lame...
But anyway, visit her blog, and I will get on her case about keeping up to date
(and keep up to date on my own, too!!)

Love you all...

Going through my head...

Aside from the words to Suemitsue & the Suemith's Sagitarrius...

Aoi namida no kazu hoshi no kazu
Musunda sora ni nowhere nowhere nowhere
Itsuka kiete yuku
Tsukamu hikari hitotsu hitotsu dake
Egaita yume wo somewhere somewhere somewhere
Nagamete iru

It's probably a little weird to sing songs you don't understand all the words...but I know at least half of them, and the rest I'm slowly learning...

I think maybe it's a bad idea to be a history major...
I'm so not good at writing papers and tend to bullshit my way through them. And I can't focus very well on what I'm reading, maybe because it's so much at one time, but I'm having issues.

I feel like my Bible study is full of non-believers...
So many things they argue over that seem to be not Biblical, and they're so adamant about them, and I want to call up Pastor Brian just to get his take on things, because I trust him, and everyone else seems a little bit out of whack.

I'm a guitar player, not a bass player...
I love my bass, and it's pretty awesome when I play, and I love to mimic bass lines from my favorite songs. But when it comes down to it, I'm a melody-player. And for that, I need a guitar.

I am not quite a style icon...
Yes, I can get people to look at me...but I think it's more in shock than awe. Bright pink pajama pants or a red dress, they only catch the eye, but I don't think they impress. Perhaps I should take a more subtle approach.

I am not cut out to live with someone else...
I'm too messy, I'm too chaotic, my schedule changes on a whim, and even if I'll do the dishes every time, I still think I need more stability, and I just can't get that at this point, and I don't see myself getting it ever.

I want to go home...
But if I give up now, no one will ever trust me again, and I so don't want to let anyone down...

That's the gist of what's 'going through my head'...

Top 10 & Counting...

So, a few weeks ago, a friend and I got into a little 'semi-argument' about cute guys and such, and I said I'd make a list of hot guys, and let our friends decide who had better taste...and what should have been a one-week project turned into nearly a month (Thanks, homework, for distracting me!!!) but it's finally here...

In no particular order...
My Hottie List...

Jim Caviezel
When I first laid eyes on this hunk, he was an awkward boyish Frenchman betrayed by his best friend...and even if the title's fake, who wouldn't fall for the Count he becomes? Then he takes on something as awe-inspiring as The Passion, and just blows my mind. If he can pull that off, he's a winner no matter what.

John Corbett
Many roles, but the one that captures my heart is that of Pastor Dan, in Raising Helen.
"I'm a sexy man of God, and I know it."
Yes, you are, John, yes you are!

Hugh Dancy
No, I don't approve of the way he played Prince Charmont in Ella Enchanted. But mostly because of the writers screwing up a good story...as for Hugh himself...so cute!! And then he's in another favorite book-to-movie, Blood & Chocolate, and same story...but he's awkward, funny, can ride horse and draw--or so Hollywood would have us believe--and I don't know if he's English or American, but he can do both and it fits either way...he is very sigh-worthy...

Johnny Depp
Do I even need a reason? Well, I'll give you one anyway...
There are so many things I could say about this man...
I first fell for him as Captain Jack..."Take what you can, give nothing back!"
But once I started watching his other films, I realized, the man is a genius in EVERY ROLE HE PLAYS!! Sweeney Todd...The Corpse Bride...Benny & Joon...no matter how far the list goes on, it all comes down to one thing: the man is a master!

Zac Efron
No, I didn't fall for him in High School Musical...because I didn't decide to see the trilogy until after I watched 17 Again seven days in a row. But he's just so cute!! I couldn't help myself...

Colin Firth
Now if you like awkward cute guys, here you are...but it was actually one of his 'less nervous' roles that got me hooked. Have you discovered the joy of six hours of Pride & Prejudice? A favorite book, and they actually hit it spot-on behind cameras...if it were a bad remake, would he still be on this list? Yes...because of Love Actually, Nanny McPhee, What A Girl Wants...should I go on?

Harrison Ford
Han Solo, Indiana Jones, the President of the United States...this man can do everything, and has, and I don't care how gray his hair gets; the man has charisma! Remember, not old, but distinguished!

Jonathan Frakes
Some of you may be unfamiliar with this charmer, but once you see him in action, you can't deny he's got it. Commander William Riker of the starship Enterprise...I would definitely join Starfleet for this man, even if I know he'll go for Troi in the end...


Cary Grant
Though I know better, half the time I can't tell whether this man is English or American...and that's part of his charm--which he has loads of, even while being an ass, as he is sometimes. But he still gets the girl? Now that's talent.

Hugh Grant
Another English 'Grant,' this one more awkward, and yet just as lovable. I have to ask myself why...because when I get down to it, he's not the most attractive man in the world. But that sweet persona he has just grabs my heart, and I can't help but fall...

Justin Hawkins of The Darkness
Okay, so yes, he's a bit awkward, gives off a very strange vibe, and have you seen his video for "I Believe in a Thing Called Love"? But regardless...that's like my favorite song. I love his voice. And guess what? He plays a Les Paul!! Application approved...

Sterling Knight
Unbeknownst to myself, the first time I saw this guy was on 17 Again...there are just so many good things in that movie!! But then I saw him again on Sunny with a Chance, and just recently on Starstruck...yes, he is a product of Disney. But I like his style, and he sings, too, so why not?

Hunter Parrish
Don't ask me why I like him. Just sit back. Take him in. And when you're ready, you can move on.

Matthew Perry
I'm not a big fan of Friends, but this guy is just so believable, in every role, and he's got an honest, straight-forward quality about him you can't help fall for. Plus, he turns into Zac Efron in 17 Again and that ain't not bad...

Brad Pitt
What is there to like about this man? Other than that he is Brad Pitt, of course...well, other than his looks, I'd have to say the moment I became a hardcore BP fan was in Mr & Mrs Smith, when he couldn't pull the trigger...love conquers all, doesn't it? Another favorite role is the infamous Joe Black...if the man can make Death look that good, then he definitely deserves a spot on my favorites...

Andrew Lee Potts
I've only seen this cutie in one thing, but his role as Hatter in SyFy's Alice --yes, it's 'Alice in Wonderland' remade-- had such an effect on me I started writing my own remake. He's awkward, clever, shabbily dressed and just plain adorable...I don't think I've ever liked the 'Mad Hatter' more...

Matthew Thiessen of Relient K
Front and center, there he is, with his fellow bandmates...but what about this lead singer captured my heart?
"Sadie Hawkins Dance, in my khaki pants, there's nothing better...oh oh oh!"
Who could resist those high notes? And trust me, he hits those notes just as well live as in the studio.


The following are not quite on my list, but the pictures were so that I couldn't just leave them off without giving them a shout-out...
So here are the 'honorable mentions'...

A young Clint Eastwood...can you say WOW??

Ah, Patrick Dempsey...and in Japan, no less, for one of my favorite movies...

Jude Law & Jack Black...good and bad roles between them, but when you watch The Holiday how can you not fall in love?

Now don't make fun, just because I have a Twilight character here...you'll notice that Mr Lautner did not make the 'official list,' and I didn't even pick one of the many topless pictures I found...(but I still love you, Taylor!!)

I never would have thought James Marsden could do comedy so well...but his princely role is just too funny...and too sweet!

Group shot!!!
Okay, so it's all the 17 Again cast members I mentioned beforehand, but now all together...
Move over, girls and make room for me!!

And that's all for today, folks, but don't worry, there will be more. In fact, next week, I think I'll put up a list of all the female hotties I'm crushing on...

JUST KIDDING!!

Hope you're all having a great week!!
