Day 13: Goals

I have a lot of goals. And they are always changing. But basically, here are a few:

1. I want to spend eternity with my family. This one's a biggie :)

2. I want to be a nurse!!! And I'm halfway there :) This is the snazzy uniform I get to wear next year (assuming I get in :) (Yes, the pants are totally see-through, Yikes!)

3. I want to be a mommy :) Not right now or anything, but someday :)

4. I want to memorize Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata on the piano

5. I want to read about a bagillion books, which would take too much space to list here, someday I will make you a list, but not today :)

6. And finally, I want to be as amazing as all the people I love and look up to, including but not limited to these fine folks:

Skellington

Day 12: Something you don't leave the house without

The things I don't leave the house without are pretty basic, phone, pepper spray, and keys, complete with Jack Skellington keychain:

Found this at Blockbuster the other week whilst I was renting a movie. Best purchase of my life. Okay not really, but I still like it, it has a frowning face on the back, which is slightly less creepy than the smiley face :)

TV

Day 11: Favorite TV shows

So I don't actually watch most of these on TV, so this is actually my favorite Netflix TV shows list. This is my top ten in no particular order:

1. Psych

This show is hilarious. Makes me laugh. Nuff said.

2. Monk

This show is similary to Psych, but totally different, also Hilarious.

3. Firefly

This show is fabulous, there is also a movie (Serenity) made about the same story. It's pretty much epic.

4. Gilmore Girls

I only like the first season of this show, but it is also fabulous.

5. Mythbusters

I love this show, obviously. The cast is super funny and I love all the stunts they do. My favorite was the one about whether or not we walked on the moon.

6. X files

I grew up on this show, when I was little it freaked me out, but now I just love it.

7. Masterpiece Theater

I don't know if this counts as a TV show, but they make all the Jane Austen-type movies, and they do a pretty awesome job most of the time.

8. The Munsters

So one time on Halloween they showed this show alllll day, and I watched it for like 3 or 4 hours, it's pretty funny.

9. Keeping up Appearances

Also grew up on this show, it's just hilarious. Pretty much the same story every time, but I still love t.

10. Avatar, the Last Airbender

I love this cartoon. I've seen every single episode ever. It's awesome!!

So that's pretty much it. I don't really watch any of these consistently, but they're always good for when I'm bored and have too much time and too little motivation to do anything productive :)

Scaredy Cat

Hey all, guess what, Spring Break is here!!!! No homework for a week!! And what will I be doing you may ask? Studying!!! Wooo! Yup, I know how to party it up on vacation :)

Anywho, today's post is: Day 10: Something you're afraid of

So I'm pretty much afraid of a lot of things...but the first thing that comes to mind is SCORPIONS!!!

Secretly I think they are super cool, just like I think spiders and snakes are super cool, but I do not like to have them near me unless we are separated by a glass wall or something. I'm seriously a wimp around them it's kind of sad. I've even been stung, twice. It HURTS!!!!!!

But they are still amazing little guys, if you don't live in a place where th

ere are scorpions, you should definitely come visit me this summer so we can go scorpion hunting. It's superfun, because if you have a UV flashlight, they look like this:

Yup, they are fluorescent. Awesome. Also they are hard to kill. I mean, easy to squish, but other than that, they are super resilient. One time my mom and I were trying to figure out the best way to kill a scorpion. So we put one in a cup and put some alcohol in there which usually works pretty well with most bugs. But not this one. They also apparently can live months in a jar without food...but I don't really want to test that because it makes me feel like I'm causing needless suffering and torture and stuff. So I just stick with the squishing. Bleach works pretty well too, but squishing is easier.

Celery

Day 9: A favorite picture of your best friend

So basically I met Celery when I was 12 and had just moved to a new place, and she was pretty much the bombdotcom, and we have been buds ever since!! The above is one of her portraits, this one is of us picking fruit:

Cause we're cool like that, note our awesome sauce disguises!

Oh the Places I'll Go

Day 8: A place you've traveled to

So I have only traveled to a few places in the States, including California, several parts of Idaho, a couple places in Arizona, Utah, South Carolina...and I think that's pretty much it. I've driven through part of Montana and Georgia. Someday, however, I will rectify this situation, and forty years from now or so I will redo this post and it will include Africa, Italy, Russia, Ireland, Germany, Brazil, and pretty much everywhere else :)

But so far one of my favorite places to go has been Havasupai. It was miserable getting there because I had to hike 13 miles to get there, but it was so pretty and I got to swim in this:

It was awesome. Until I got sucked over a few mini-waterfalls and bashed my knee on some rocks and I wasn't a super good swimmer so I almost drowned in the deep end after the mini waterfalls. But it was still fun :) On the way into the canyon I met a stray dog and gave him some jerky and named him Rover. He hiked most of the way with me, it was pretty cute :)

Siete

K, so (CHEESE) I am definitely falling way behind on this 30 day blog challenge, it's turning more into a couple-days-a-week challenge, but I'm OK with that, because school has been kicking my butt lately, so I have been prioritizing :) Which is new for me, so that's good. Anywho, the next post is supposed to be about my favorite movies. My favorite movies definitely change with my mood, but here are a few that I will pretty much watch anytime:

1. Sense and Sensibility

Sense and Sensability has pretty much been my favorite movie since I was little. I like the new version too but this one is just awesome. Love it.

2. Penelope

Penelope is one of my favorites for several reasons, some of thembeing it has James MacAvoy, I love her funky clothes, and it's about liking yourself the way you are, no matter what the world thinks about you. Also it's just super cute :)

3. Star Trek

This includes all of the Star Trek movies and TV series ever. Because Star Trek is EPIC.

4. To Kill a Mockingbird

This is one of the greatest movies ever made. Ever. It is also one of the best books ever written.

Anywho, in general I also love action movies, and I'm easily entertained by most movies, as long as they are clean! I could probably list about 50 of my favorite movies, but I need to go study. So peace out! :)

Seis: Dave Matthews

Day 6: A picture of something that makes you happy

So Dave Matthews's music makes me happy. It is pretty much awesome, and it makes me all nostalgic about my childhood, because most and/or all of my siblings listened to his music when I was a kid. I have pretty much had Gravedigger stuck in my head for a week. But Proudest Monkey is one of my favorites. Look it up. :)

Cinco

Day 5: A song to match your mood

Butterflies and Hurricanes by Muse

Love love love this band. Love rockin out to this song. I was torn between this one and "Hysteria" because I'm in a hysterical sort of mood. :)

P.S. I do NOT like this band because of Twilight. I liked them before I had even heard of Twilight. So ha!
