Word Wizard!

Ha.. Since my last post, I have finished reading City of Bones and also Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters (book 2 in the series).

Both books were excellent.  Percy Jackson was a quick read, I started it last night and finished it this morning!!  Excellent book :-) Highly recommended series.. I personally kind of like it a little more than harry potter, or at least equally as much.. I think the contributing factor is I read percy jackson first (the first book anyways).. and I had seen the HP movies before reading it.  It would have been better if i havent already seen the movies.  I like them both a lot though :-)

City of Bones was also very good, but depending on how they take the series in the next few books could alter my thoughts on it.. There were just some parts I am not sure if I agreed with so I want to see how it plays out.. We will see though!

Today is Brett's dad's Birthday, so we are going to see Alice in Wonderland later this afternoon and then I believe we are going out to dinner..  Sounds like a great day! I am very excited, I always have fun with his family on outings like this :-)

I'm coming waltzing back and moving into your head

Not sure when this was taken, but my love and I <3 he holds the key to my soul...
I finished reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets a couple nights ago.. I loved it!! It was wonderful.. I definitely need a HP break though, so I just started my next venture.. "City of Bones" by Cassandra Clare. So far it is excellent, and someone I work with told me it was a great read.. and she has very similiar book taste to me so I am very excited!! I love the whole fantasy literature... If I am reading, I want to be swept away from reality into a world that I can't experience first hand. I want something different from the every day existence of normal people. I want to read about vampires, wizards, and werewolves. I want to read about magical places and faeries.. I say faeries because I saw in the back of City of Bones, there was a recommended series on the "darker side" of faeries.. I think that will be one of my ventures. Very excited :-D I feel so nerdy, but I can not help the feeling a good book gives me.. Nothing beats it.... :-)

Our fingerprints dont fade from the lives we touch..

Today, one little girl touched my heart.  Chelsea and I were out for the afternoon with her daughter, Madison.  We went to Friendies and Fort Williams and it was absolutely amazing.

Madison reminded me of a few important things though.  She reminded me of the beauty of being young and having a big imagination... How I can not hold back my laughter when I see little kids laughing and being silly.. and my love for encouraging the public singing of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in the middle of lunch :-).  I wish I was still that creative and still could refer to myself as various cartoon characters.. Scooby Doo in particular (she actually shares my taste in the cartoon characters of choice ;-) haha).. 

Kids are just so innocent.. We were walking around Fort Williams and she was holding on to the back of my sweater and we were making pretend we were on a roller coaster.. it was just a blast.  I had a smile on my face the entire time.

It was great to spend time with Chels.  Sometimes, their are people you just click with.. no hesitations whatsoever.  She is definitely that type of person for me.  A great day off with great company.

I have to say, I don't think their "fingerprints" will ever leave my heart.

Prince Charming? More like, Prince I-hate-you-&-lets-make-up-later? Definitely more like it

Sometimes I wish that my life was like a fairy tale.  Other times, I am so glad that my life is my own story.  It is my story and no one else can own it or probably even compare.  And I have a feeling more people feel like that then not.  Seriously, who wants all that lovey dovey first kiss butterflies pop up bullshit anyways?

I would prefer to have my crazy love.  My crazy, insane, makes me want to pull my hair out, head over heels in love.  Screaming and yelling and then play wrestling on the bed.  Id rather stay up for hours and play Lego Indiana jones with my boyfriend and be a complete goof off then have to fight dragons or deal with fairy god mothers.  Who can really stand those fairy god mothers anyways?  Someone grab me a fly swatter, STAT!

But who can't deny how awesome the whole idea of Prince Charming is, unless you have totally vowed off love and lost faith in it?  I totally had thought love was all an act for a long long time, but look at me now!  A dose of reality and some good friends are all we need.. And a good man never hurt anything, either ;-)

While we are on the subject...

A nice batch of freshly cooked cookies never hurt anyone either... :-D

I've heard the grass is always greener, on the lovers side of town..

So, I love Joe Purdy.  He's a pretty awesome musician, kind of a folksie bluesy kind of guy.  But you should all take a listen.. My personal favs are Lovers side of town, I love the rain most, and Mary May :-) very excellent tunes.

In another note, I have been bored in waiting for class and have been on bretts Macbook and have been using the photobooth feature.  Here is my little photo session today so you can giggle with me HAHAHA  it was a blast, im going to do it again later i think ahaha.   I know.. im such a cool kid sometimes, huh! ;-)

LOL you like that last face? hahaha

 

Yea I'm pretty baller sometimes.  I freakin love this little photobooth feature, ahahahahha i forgot about it until a few minutes ago.. Im going to make brett take pictures with me after class.. wish me luck, AHAh

Ill write a real entry later..  :-)

It rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong... It rains where you're here and it rains when you're gone..

 I have been a huge bookworm lately and I love it.  I am a particular fan of fantasy type worlds where you get sucked into the story and are just literally part of another world as you read.  Call me nerdy, call it what you want, but I absolutely LOVE it.. 

What better escape from reality is there?  I am not sure I know of one. 

A good book drags you in and makes you never want to stop reading.  You just keep going and going because you are dying to find out what happens next.  This is what makes a good writer.  Its interesting, it has twists, it surprises you, and it makes you feel like you are right there, witnessing the whole thing.  Oh, nothing better, nothing better!  What I would do to be a part of these stories! 

Without having a good book to read now, I just feel a little lonely and sad; what am I supposed to do with spare time when I have no homework to work on?  Or when I'm not with friends?  Or when Brett is doing other stuff and I am just kind of hanging out at his house?  Let me tell you, there is certainly not enough on TV to keep me entertained ALL the time, even with like a ton of channels (they are all awful for the most part).

 
Due to my new bookworm-ish ways, some of my entries are certainly going to be book reviews or recommendations.  I hope people find it helpful in searching for their own reading material!  So I will end this entry by beginning my recommendations/reviews :-)

I am starting book 2 of Harry Potter, and have several other book series I am currently working on.  my top three series currently are:

Harry Potter
The Hunger Games 
Percy Jackson and the Olympians

I would highly recommend all of them if you are into the fantasy gig.  The Hunger games is a little different, a little more realistic.. and as brett describes it, "Post-Apocalyptic" but its a very good read and I would highly recommend it.  The first few chapters are a little slow, but necessary to introduce you to the characters and build up the story surrounding the "games" and the living atmosphere?  Not sure how to address it without giving it away!

Now I'm off to start Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets! :-)

The greatest thing youll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.

You're my dream come true, My one, and only you.. (-The Platters - "Only You")

Love is my reason to wake up in the morning.. To carry on.. its my reason to be. Love love love, ahh what it is to love.. to be loved.. such a beautiful thing.. 

You know, I truly believe love is one of the greatest things that humans are capable of.  Love is a gift, an innocent, pure, miraculous gift.  Its one of those things that sets us apart from everything else.  We have the capability of emotions and to love others so deeply..  Love is a beautiful thing.  It's hard to fully understand it even until you are able to experience true love (which I do believe exists for everyone). 

When it's love, you'll know it.  You'll get that feeling deep in the pit of your stomach.. The butterflies when he looks at you that special way, or the way he touches your cheek.  You can always hear it in the way they speak to you.  Any guy who thinks you look cute in pajamas with your make up all over your face and your hair a mess first thing in the morning and still thinks you look beautiful.. That, my friend, is a man in love.

The one person that makes you swoon, that 'oo lala' love, the one that would give you the moon, the stars, and the sky if he could.  He would do anything just to see a smile on your face.  And she would be there for him at any time, day or night.  She would listen to him and encourage him, always supportive of his decisions.

You know it's love.  Love inspires.  Love is beauty.  Love is the farthest and closest thing to perfection any one in this world will ever have.  Love should be crazy and wild and out of this world! playful, fabulous, wonderful love.. ahhh!!.. 

Tricky tricky though love can be.  Sneaks up on you when you least expect it.. Can never find it when you look for it.  So everyone stop your searching!  It is probably right under your nose.. So sly, that thing called love..

Love should be fun and full of laughter and ridiculous moments.  Without the moments of ridiculousness and all of those memories.. what would be left?  Not every love has to be your fairy tale romance or even a movie/book romance.. Each love blossoms into something truly unique and beautiful every time.. And that's the best part about love.  It's different for every couple, shaped to their qualities and quirks.

Love is total acceptance of another being into your heart and trusting them with everything you hold dear.  Its an all night conversation.  It's more than a feeling.  It's a first everything.  It's a lesson in life.. a "goodnight" kiss.  It's a see you later, no more goodbyes. Love is what we make it, precious, lustful, beautiful, blossoming, forever-changing.. It's the bliss you feel when you see that special person smile at you, knowing that they are all yours always, and there is no one who can take that away from you.  It's wondering How did I ever get so lucky?  There are no words to describe... It's like leaping over the moon.. its a constant celebration..

People forget too often the beauty of life and get too bogged down by the demands of life.  Sometimes, we all just need to take a step back, take a deep breath, and remember how lucky we are and how wonderful life can be.. especially when you are lucky enough to have your prince charming to share it with. 

Go ahead and call me a sap if you want, and maybe I am.  But when you find that one special person, the one you know is your soul mate.. the one you could spend forever with .. you'll understand what I'm talking about.  You will all agree with me one day.... :-)

Love is Heaven on Earth.
