Sailing for Adventure

Muppet Treasure Island is simply a movie that I could never get sick of! Such a classic...! I was pondering this because this week a friend from the musical burned the soundtrack for me! It brought me so much bliss that he would actually do that and it brought me even more bliss that I got to listen to it after a long day at musical, with my bud Bryson and with a 64 oz. of Diet Dr. Pepper in my hand! Such joy. This just goes to show that the most simple things in life can bring the most joy. So I just thought I'd take some time to give a tribute to those loveable Muppets.

--"When you're a professional pirate...You don't have to wear a suit."

--"Love led us here."

--"It just feels so weird." "What that Mr. Errowls dead?" "Well that...and my pants are full of starfish!" "You and your hobbies!"

--"I may be visually challenged but I know you are a girl!"

--"Beware!" "What of the one legged man?" "No...of running with scissors...it's all fun and games till someone loses and EYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEE

EEEEEE!"

--"How does she do that?"

--"Your finger hired the crew?" "No that is silly...Mr. Bimble the man who lives in my finger hired the crew."

--"Let's not get sloppy just because we're singing!"

--"What was that song that happened just now?" "What?" "You know, Cabin Fever AH!"

--"You know the ocean...the big blue wet thing?"

--"Aren't you supposed to be fighting against us?" "Are you kidding?I LOVE YOU GUYS!"

Rainy Days and Mondays...

Have you ever heard the song "Rainy Days and Mondays" by the Carpenters? Great song, you gotta love the Carpenters. But you know something, I strongly disagree with it. I love RAINY DAYS...and it made today (a Monday ironically!) that much better. The rain just gets rid of all my problems, it makes everything fine and dandy. I didn't even care that I had a headache at rehearsal or that the directors were grouchy cause it was RAINING! So much joy. I can't imagine why people don't like the rain. It makes me so happy! I think this means I have to move to London or Seattle--somewhere that it rains a lot!

Word Vomit

Most of you who read my blog...haha like two people...know that I love just letting all the random comments flow out of me. Sometimes I do it to rant, to let my thoughts escape my crammed head, to say what I want and just for the sake of being RANDOM! So here goes...

--I am learning the song "Fallin' for You" by Colbie Calliat on the guitar! It is a gem of a song.

--Vitamin C's "Friends Forever" song is NOT a gem of a song. In fact it makes me want to vomit.

--Photoshop is my new favorite thing...I could play on it for HOURS!

--I dislike it when raspberry seeds get stuck in my teeth.

--Some people are just dang amazing at giving hugs...Lucky me!

--Section leader? Does this mean I have to pay attention during sectionals?

--We might need to actually talk to each other beforehand or this could be potentially awkward.

--A date where you go to the Top Stop is actually very romantic in my opinion! Plus Jamba, Wendy's and Five Guys would be a good addition.

--"She's got you high and you don't even know yet..."

--Ali is my Mix Making soul mate! Who knew our music tastes are so similar!

--Sometimes it is very healthy to be late to seminary because you are getting Otter Pops at Stuart's house.

--I am already on the awkward wall in Yearbook...Wow...

--Who doesn't like guacamole on their Cafe Rio salad? That is just straight up bizarre!

--He tells me what I NEED to hear not what I WANT to hear. So good for me.

--"Me and Julio down by the schoolyard!"

--I am still giddy that we now possess the ROCK!

--Child Care is going to be lonely.

--New favorite people make life exciting, especially people in musicals! So many awesome peeps!

--"Don't you forget about me!"

--I love to speak with my version of an Italian accent.

--Say that to my FACE!

--"Well I love your spleen..."

--I want to watch the Mr. Rogers where he goes to the Crayon factory.

--Tilamook cheese is the BEST!

--3 steps lower...Bummer...I like those high notes...

--"Eat slugs Malfoy"

--Marrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-ian!

--What about the Bob the Builder theme song for Graduation?

--I am going to have Russ make me some sweet stickers in graphics! Woot!

--I love playdough, especially pink playdough! JOY!

--Focus...Focus on BOB!

--"Just because it's right doesn't mean you should...Oh wait just because you should...wait...NEVERMIND!"

--"You! Your tacky and I hate you!" I love School of Rock.

THE END...FOR NOW...

Senior...What the weird?

I will be a senior in roughly 11 hours...WEIRD! I am not nearly old enough. Maybe I am dreaming and am going to wake up tomorrow back as the 5 year old I act like...But I will eventually have to except that and so here is a list on the things I am looking forward to...

#1. MR. FELT! Oh how I missed him and his perfect notes on the chalkboard, his puns and costumes. I can't wait for AP European.

#2. The musical...So many good times are on the horizon.

#3. Yearbook. I have heard so much from Bailey about all the good times last year and I can't wait to experience it for myself! Photo staff ROCKS! Also it will give me the chance to get involved in more school activities!

#4. Football games...I am going to some...in fact MOST of them! I need to get my green skinny jeans!

#5. Ensemble...Christmas show...just straight up bonding time...Disney show...TOUR...

#6. Being the oldest at the school. Oh the power.

#7. Chilling with my awesome and fun friends.

#8. Being able to drive.

#9. The day when the sophomores and juniors have to come to school and take those dumb tests. HA!

#10. Senior sluff day...and senior prank

I am sure I will think of more later!

Snug as a Bug in a Rug

The past month I have had a regular night time routine of tucking my sister Megan into bed. Yes you may laugh at the thought of me tucking my 20 year old sister in, but it has become a summer ritual that proceeds as follows...

"Sarah I am ready for sleepy, sleepy time!"

We go to her room.

She has me fetch her phone for her and sets her morning alarm.

I close the closet so she is protected from the "monster guys" living in it.

I tuck her in.

Kiss her forehead, say "I Love You."

Turn out the light.

I was saddened by the thought that this will be the last time I will do this for a while because she is returning to college! I like being able to take care of her, repay her for all the times she tucked me in and not feel like the littlest sister for a while. I will miss her while she is gone but I know that when ever she comes back home I will be called upon for tuck in duties and that I look forward to! Love you Megs!

Is Anyone Home Up There?

Remember how I am sometimes not very smart? Oh here is a good one...(Megan please don't tell Mom and Dad this story, they will make me feel even more stupid and irresponsible) So I recently received my Drivers License (FINALLY) and I have thoroughly enjoyed driving home from work the past 3 nights. So tonight I was driving along, blasting my show tunes if you wanted to know, and suddenly a cop turns on his lights behind me. I panicked, what in the heck did I do? I know I was going the speed limit, nothing illegal that I knew of. I pulled over and tried very hard to remain calm as the Police officer approached my window, I thought I might pee my pants or even burst into tears. "Here's the thing," he said intimidatingly "I will let you go...If you turn on your lights." WOW. That was probably the dumbest thing I have ever done. Who forgets to turn on their lights when driving at night? Me apparently. So anyways I played the dumb card "Oh right... sorry!" I said in my girly blonde voice and drove away quickly (but of course going the speed limit). I feel really dumb but I decided to post this story in order to learn to laugh at myself...haha, it was pretty funny!

"Super" Thinking...

A few days ago when I got home from work my sister was watching Superman Returns on TV. While watching, I became lost in thought...Who is the best superhero? I mean surely they all have their good points...like saving the world and all that, but who is the BEST. After much thinking pondering and argument I decided on Batman and here are the reasons why...

#1. Batman has not been given any extra powers. He doesn't have "Spidey senses" or super strength, he just works with what he has and still can kick butt.

#2. Batman's outfit is by far the best. Black is sexy, plus it makes him look thin AND it helps him be stealth. Also I think his outfit makes his muscles look very big!

#3. Batman's normal self Bruce Wayne isn't a nerd like Peter Parker or Clark Kent.

#4. Batman's real name is Bruce...enough said.

#5. George Clooney and Christian Bale have both played Batman...once again enough said.

#6. The Batman theme song is MONEY!

Just a little taste into what I think about! So Random!
