Seeing is believing

Why is seeing believing? Why is it kids want to grow up so fast these days?

Whats wrong with believing in Santa or the Easter Bunny? Just believing in the magic is half the fun.

I dont see any problem believing in things that are magical, and beyond my own eyes, i will go out of my way to convince kids that there is some magic in this world, that will not fade with age.

I mean when Peaches was young, i convinced her that if she didnt blow out the candles on the cake then she would stay 5 forever, scared the shit out of her, but all in good fun. 

Kids are able to believe the most exceptional things, but as they grow older their faith in mystical fades, but i dont think that this is right. 

Holding onto just this little bit of your childhood allows you to have not only a connection to your own childhood, but to pass on the magic to other kids, let them see what greatness the world can hold for them, if they just believe.

I do believe in fairies, i do, i do

Does Anyone Remember Harry Potter?

Because i do not remember the last time that i had or heard a conversation with Harry Potter in it…the dude has lost his appeal, so sad. Although he did have a good run, i guess they are still making the new #7 movie (in two parts? i dunno) but i just dont think they have the following that they use to you know?!

I mean im sure tons of people will still go to see it, i mean i know i will and i have absolutly no interest in Harry Potter anymore, but i saw all the others, so i should see this one in theatres as well, i means its only fair right?

Well my Peaches is a HUGE fan of Harry Potter, and this is where the story was originally going LOL but i have a team that teaches little kids how to deal with conflict and we have a fundraiser coming up, and we have to dress as sports teams, so one of our members suggested we go as the Quidditch team (spelling?) which is an awesome idea, cause no one will think of that (well i think) since Harry Potter sort of died…

Well we were having this intense conversation about what colours all the teams were, and if we should be one member 

from each team or a united front, and we knew that Slytherin was green and silver and Griffindor was red and gold, but not one of us could decide exactly what the other houses colours were. And really thats a testimony to the movies and books that totally glossed over the other characters, cause no one really cares about Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, i mean really…

I mean how could they even compare to the people who Slyther IN and the Griffin Doors…whats a Huffle Puff and a Raven Claw have to compare to such amazing teams. Such weird names for the houses in Hog Warts. Seriously.

Anyways i texted Peaches cause i know she is a HUGE fan, (i may be over stressing the HUGE part but she totally is) and she texted right back with the colours of all the house, cause she is just that great. So she is amazing and gets the prize for knowing off the top of her head what all the colours of the house teams were. I bet she could do Potter trivia and totally win. She is just that good.

Harry Potter < Supernatural

(what can i say its true)

Tell me what you think about…

You know when you have to go to the bathroom, but you are all cozy in bed, maybe like watching something, or listening to music and you really have to pee? Now maybe this is just me, but sometimes its like an internal debate whether its worth it to get out of bed, pause my show and go to the bathroom, cause its like the cold air hits you as you get out of the blankets…Althought maybe im just crazy.

And then i also think that since im up i have to do all the things i have to do before i can jump back into bed. My logic is since im up already i should brush my teeth, charge my phone, organzie my purse so that 30 minutes later, even though i got up just to pee, ive wasted a large amount of time.

So i was wondering if other people have this “problem” where mostly its cause its warm in your blankets and cold outside so you have to mentally weigh all the options before getting out of bed.

Weird for somepeople i know.

I dont know what you can tell from the movies i watched…but there it is. I wish you could count the movies by how many times you watched them, that may have helped my score LOL. Guess i havent watched as many movies as i thought i did, considering Peaches and i watch all kinds of movies, you would think that i had seen more movies than this, but a lot of these movies were before my time, and i guess i never got around to watching some of the classics. I will fix this when i have some time, i plan on making sure i am well rounded in movie watching. LOL

Seems like i have seen a lot of the animated ones on this list…haha But its pretty much a given that i avoid scary movies, Peaches and i watched Friday the 13th, the remake just recently, and i was shitting myself…and peaches proceeded to laugh at me.

If you have time, try doing your own version and see how many you have watched, and let me know in the comments!

Raise Money

I had this great idea! So amazing in fact that i decided to share it with everyone to see what they think!

OK imagine at the end of Supernatural Jared and Jensen agreed to do like a kiss for charity. SO they will make out with each other for 5 minutes in order to raise as much money as possible for charity. I think that they could make millions!

And it could all go to a charity for sick kids, or cancer or something, they could make so much money, plus millions of fan girls would be happy and squee with delight. we could make so much money to help others.

Food for thought

Ok, so these are the things i do when im working on essays or trying to get my ideas flowing:

Smart Food popcorn in the hopes that it makes me smart by eating it…

YUM

Tea – lots and lots of tea…we dont have a coffee maker here, and i dont always want to run to starbucks for coffee every hour…so i make due with tea in large amounts…LOL

(i just realized i … so much… haha why?)

music – playing all the time, usually the radio cause i like the varitety of it…although sometimes i end up distracted cause i sing along instead of work…but whatever

Notebooks – i have the random ideas notebook, to jot random ideas down, i have the one im activly writing my essay on and as well i have one that just has blank paper to draw on when i feel stuck…

Many TO DO lists – i wouldnt survive without these, i have like 4 and all of them are around me all the time, i take joy in checking off things when i complete them although i usually put really east things on them so that i get to check them off, like: eat, go downstairs for pen, find pants LOL yea cause it helps me write but it also works as a procrastination tool, and i need lots of those.

THIS EXACTLY

Clean my room – helps me relax when im super tense and unfocused, sometimes a clean room helps to waken me up…

Text people to see what they are doing, and then talk to them a while

Facebook check

Agenda – i like to check it regularly and stare at it, to see what i have coming up and i count the days i have left to do things, and sometimes it helps to get my ass moving…sometimes…

watch some old movies or tv, in order to get the brain flowing…

read J2 stories

Genius right here!

Post Random things on blog – as i am doing right now…LOL

So what do you do??

Midterm Disease

SO during the nov/dec period there is a midterm disease going around, now im not talking about the flu or any of those normal cold symptoms, im talking about the horrific midermatosis.

this disease is all too common amoung univseristy and college students this time of year. Due to the overload of assignments and books to read for exams.

If you think you have Midtermatosis these are some symptoms,

1. you have a fear that you are forgetting something all the time
2. you have a distain for any sort of literary book
3. you dont leave you room/library/closed space for huge amounts of time
4. you forget to eat regular meals
5. you feel oddly unprepared no matter how much you study
6. you can’t seem to get your thought organized
7. you find your self daydreaming about other things
8. you tell all your friends you can’t go out with them
9. you decide to go out with friends, and feel guilty the whole time
10. you are jumpy and tense
11. you look like a zombie from lack of sleep
12. you find yourself procrastinating a lot, but are unsure what your procrastinating for

If you have 4 or more of any of these sypmtoms you may be suffering from Midtermatosis.

Unfortunalty there is no cure, you just have to suffer through as best you can until the semester is over, and then you get to start the fun all over again, for the second semester.

Good luck.

Wanted

Dead or alive… no not actually where i was going with this…LOL

WANTED:

I am Batman, and i am in need of a sidekick, whom will refer to the name Robin.

No actual superpower is needed to qualify for this job.

Pay is low (you actually may end up in debt) and the hours are long.

This is more like the poor mans version of batman, so no cool gadgets are provided.

BYOB – you’ll need it at some point (while your at it bring some for me too)

Manditory - you must have this silhouette when running so we look cohesive (see image below)

Robin on the left and Batman on the right

Being able to spell is not required

Must enjoy watching Supernatural on days off.

Also if you happen to look like this…

Acceptable Robin

Or this…

very acceptable too

We can make alterations for you if you fall into one of these categories.

Send resume ASAP – there are people in need of assistance!

LOL

Experiments

So i was wondering, you know how people say (and no i dont know which people these are, or whom exactly “people” refers to) that in high school you should try one new thing? And then in university you should try a new thing every year, like something that you wouldnt actually regularly do…

And i was pondering, have i done this? or do i need to catch up on my “new things”? and what exactly constitutes a “new thing”? i mean how will i know if ive done it or not? is there a check off list that i can get, or like a person who will guide me through my new experience?

OMG i need a YODA, much there is to learn here…LOL

Smart is my wisdom today

How will i go about experiencing these new things in life? and really what do i want to do? Hummm….decisions decision

What have you done?
