"I'm going to ask Mr. Knightley to teach me Chinese!"

As you all know, I love the movies... Old, New, Musical, Romantic Comedy, ANYTHING. One of my favorite things about the movies is it gives us a chance to look at other peoples qualities and actions and apply them to ourselves and our own lives. Whether the characters be fiction or not, I find myself always relating to them. I know it is probably silly and maybe I need to find a hobby but I can't help seeing myself as those characters, acting as they do, reacting as they do, having the same flaws they do etc.

Recently I have been watching Emma (the BBC version, although I do love the Gwenyth Paltrow version just as much!) I find that I am very like her! Hahaha, FAULTS and all! Her stubborn way of arguing, her ranting, her way of fantasying things, her silliness, how she meddles in other peoples business and SASS!

That means, I need a man in my life like this...

Someone sensible. Someone not afraid to tell me when I am being ridiculous. Someone who loves me despite my childishness but will still make me better. (Not to mention good looking and British)

Well a girl can dream!!!

Sister Time

My Sisters...You know I just love them! They are my best friends in the world and I look up to them in so many ways. Take Lindsay: She is so adventurous. She goes around the world, goes to Chile to learn spanish, goes to Europe for fun and now is in Chicago for her masters. She is there all alone and so brave! Plus she teaches Jr. High...that is true bravery! She is fun and a really good listener. Megan is the sweetie of the family, she feels things in a very tender way and she has always been the best at showing love. Although I tease her for being "Old, boring and married" she is such a good wife and I love to see how she and Steve interact, it is a good example to me!

I have so much fun with both! There are things me and Meg love to do together (Baha like watching Buffy :D and painting our nails at Sephora ) and things me and Lindsay love to do together like hiking or....Being weird! And of course the things we love to do together which include many things but usually involve a trip to the Holiday Oil. All I can say is I am very lucky! Yesterday we got to spend the day doing things we love (before Lindsay headed off for Chicago) it was fun to be together!

Here are some pics...

(Just know that I forgot my camera for some of the things SUCH AS Top It, watching Bride and Prejudice-The Bollywood version of Pride and Prejudice, Playing B-ball or just H-O-R-S-E and going for a walk are not documented)

Home-made pizza...our specialty


Hiking...We tried to find the Living Room...again...Failed.



Sephora...Megs likes her pretty names!Corner Bakery with adopted sister Brandi


Haha I liked the cop care...I guess this could be put under the category of taking pictures!

Played Tennis...even though the guys next to us were shirtless (skinny and pasty) and really good.

I love my sisters!

A Blonde Speaking UP

OK...So I am all for "BLONDE Moments" and or "Dumb Jokes", I just want to put that out there to start of. As you all know I frequently post the stupid things that I do because I think it is better to share them and be able to laugh at yourself/give others a laugh then pretend like you never do anything stupid. Let's face it we all have our stupid/embarrassing/spacey moments DESPITE the hair color.

However...I strongly dislike the patronizing or when people treat me like I don't know what's going on...or just plain old treating me like a dumb blonde! Just because I can laugh at the silly things I do or that I am comfortable sharing them doesn't mean I am dumb/silly ALL the time! Maybe I am just a sensitive person but lately I have been feeling like everyone thinks I have a low IQ...It makes me worry that I really do and I just don't know it!

Let's take a look at a few blondes that are good examples...

First and foremost...Taylor Swift! She is hands down my favorite celebrity! She writes her own music and is not afraid to write about her own experiences. She doesn't do sketchy things, she is a mature women who takes her music seriously! She is independent, talented and INTELLIGENT.

Secondly...Barbie from Toy Story 3. I know you think it is odd but remember when she pulls out the part about "Consent of the governed" and she uses all these big words. That's right! She conquers the world and is very smart even when people don't expect her to be!

Now I know people will question this one but I stand firmly by it...3rd comes Elle Woods. Yes she has her moments...and it very hilarious to watch! BUT she gets into law school and works really really hard to get on top. And she graduates top of the class...Just saying.

Last but not least...Rapunzel! She is smart, spunky and she is definitely the blondest of blondes! Think about it! I love that little girls can look up to her even if she is a cartoon! She ends up getting out of her tower, becoming a princess and scoring a handsome man...She is definitely smart!

Haha anyways...The main point is that we all need to be careful about how we talk to people. It is one thing to tease but it is certainly another to patronize or treat people as if they are stupid. I know I do that a lot but I am trying to be better at it especially because I know how frustrated it makes me!
