"All for one, and one for all." -Now and Then.

this is my second night watching Now and Then in a row. and i cried both times. freaking crazy Pete is just the best old man ever (and i figured another reason why i like him so much, he is Maurice on ever after which is a childhood chick flick of mine), and that adorable scene between Roberta and Scott! so awkward but so cute at the same time! "canikissyou?" haha i love it! it just makes me smile so much, not to mention that Devon Sawa was an attractive kid.  and the love that those girls had for each other and helped them through whatever they were going through, it reminded me of the best friends i have in my life right now. i'm so grateful to have those friends who help me when i need them and who love me no matter what, people who i can tell my secrets to and (for the most part...) i know they will keep them. i know i can count on them and that is a comfort in my life, we pretty much are the girls in the movie. all we need is those awesome old fashion bikes they have in the movie! i call green! we are also the girls in sleepover (haha best movie quotes ever!) and the first wives club all best friends for life. and that is what i have. thanks guys you kick butt!

Mind bloggering (a play on words)

for the past two weeks i have wanted to write up another blog post, but i felt that i didn't have anything profound to write about. but tonight i realized, not very many people read my blogs, and i actually can't think of anyone who really does at the moment. so why just not write whatever i want? so i am going to write about what is on my mind. and for the past week and a half is my mind has been consumed with Harry Potter.
The newest and last Harry Potter came out two nights ago and i went to the midnight showing! for the most part i am satisfied with the film though there are a few parts that i was disappointed with and i just had to remind myself that i knew i would have disappointments and that i had to accept the film for what it is and i saw it again this evening and i did enjoy it much more, and its not like i didn't enjoy it the first time i truly liked it very much i just had a few twinges of disappointment. yes i still wish they did a few things differently but i can't really do much about that anyway. they can't fit everything from those books into movies, its just entirely impossible.
Another thing that has been on my mind has been the end of Wizard of Oz, as it took up most of the first half of my summer it was sad to see it end. though i couldn't be happier with how it ended and i don't want to go back and keep doing it cause i feel it has closure. though i have learned some wonderful things from it. that you may lack in certain area's of your life, whether it be your heart, or brain, or a lack of courage, or a many other things, that you can't just get them from someone else you have to build them yourself. just like the characters did as they went to save Dorthy from the wicked witch. i also learned that humbug is one of my favorite words. i am also grateful for the friends i made and the friends i grew closer to. i loved the cast and miss them dearly. they took me somewhere over the rainbow. :)

And Everything Changes

"All there is to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you."-Gandalf the Grey.  

 life is full of choices and though some choices may seem small they still change your entire life. for me choosing which college to go to was more like which college will even accept me, i went throughout high school just skating along the surface when it came to grades and because of that two colleges accepted me Weber State and SUU, i originally wanted to go to SUU but because of money and the distance between their and home i decided to go to Weber and what seemed like a small decision then has greatly impacted my life today. i have just finished my freshman year of college there and it seems very odd, almost dreamlike that this year could be over this quickly. Somehow i feel that when Monday rolls around i will take the 30 min journey from my home to Weber to go to class and while i am so grateful i do not have to wake up and go to my generals classes i am also sad. i have been blessed because i am in a department at Weber where we are kinda forced to spend so much time together with small classes and lots of after school time in workshops and plays that i have gained friends i never thought i could find at Weber. At the end of my last years summer i never thought i could make any more best friends i had all the best friends i could ever need, and then i met Blake and Becca, and they were bubbly and bright little rays of sunshine and they became some of my best friends and they live FOREVER FAR AWAY, and loosing being able to see them daily and loosing those who are graduating and going on missions and then having new freshman coming in next year, it is hard to comprehend how different this next year will be, but then again i didn't know what this year would bring and oh the joys it did bring i can never be more grateful for those at the Weber Theatre Department for being such wonderful friends to me and giving me a great start to college.

A True Adventure

I just saw the third Narnia for my second time tonight, and i can't help but think of what intrigues me so about magic. Narnia, Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings all have these intense story-lines that revolve around magic and i have fallen in love with all of them. some parts of each more than others and there are parts of all of them i don't particularly like at all. but overall i can't help just wanting to be there, in some magical land having adventures of my own. i want to face my own dragons and overcome my weaknesses while epically dueling with a sword, or bow and arrows, or a wand(or perhaps all three). but as I look at life i find it is an adventure in itself, you just have to work at your weaknesses and find your strengths, discover passions and if you want dragons read a book! and dream. anyone can find adventure and beauty in their lives, they just have to believe.
