100 Years...100 Movie Quotes →
For a while I’ve been worried that as we all grow older, our past popular culture wouldn’t really run through us anymore. That as we get older and generations get newer people wouldn’t know of or appreciate our past. But after reading this I learned that I shouldn’t really worry about that as much because I was able to recognize these quotes/moments from kid shows I watched...
I’m finding that on the days that I officially dub to be “Productive Days” turn out to be the least productive and most lazy of my weekends. My To-Do list I make convenient little check boxes for usually never get checked off at all. Days like these take me back to the Summer, which I’m excited for. But having these lazy days make me fearful that in the future, between the...
“WALL-E’s eyes were inspired by a pair of binoculars Stanton was given when...”
– The movie Hello Dolly! is shown throughout Wall-E, and Hello Dolly! was also directed by Gene Kelly who starred in Singing In the Rain. This made me really happy.

Today, I finally get to see my Wheel of Fortune episode air.
I intentionally wore a ridiculously bright yellow shirt to blind everyone watching the episode. But then they made me button up my black shirt that was over it. Sigh.
WASTED OPPORTUNITIES.
This beat the episode when the contestants couldn’t pronounce “Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa”!
I WANT/NEED PENNY LOAFERS
My quest has been going on for 4 weeks now, I believe
let's take a nostalgic trip!
I had just finished listening to an old song “Cupid’s Chokehold” by Gym Class Heroes, and there’s one line that goes:
” I know I’m young but if I had to choose her or the sun, I’d be one nocturnal son of a gun”
Listening to this in middle school, I thought this was one of the best lyrics I had ever heard. Oh how things have changed…

There is a fine line between cheesy and cute. Between obnoxious and outgoing. Between clingy and caring. Between possessive and protective. Between bizarre and quirky. Between lame and witty. Between awkward and uncomfortable. Between unnecessary and random.
This was unnecessary, but I do believe that some people have no idea this line exists!

Questions that have been running by my head throughout the past few days:
Why don’t I start my homework around 5pm instead of the latelate evening?
Why can’t I sleep for an extra 15 minutes in the morning?
When am I going to start being less judgmental?
How did I actually do on my SAT?
Are $80 worth a potential best night ever?
When am I going to start actually doing the things...
Maybe we should chug on over to mamby-pamby land...
I’m a confident person. Of course there’s a limit to how much confidence someone should have, but everyone needs some sense of it. I wrote about this before, and I’m bringing it up again; I cannot stand insecure people. I just think it’s an absolute waste of time to be soooo concerned about yourself and what “could be” and how things “should be”. If...
Another good week, and this may sound cheesy but I’m really happy with where I am in my life right now. It seems like everything is balanced and I’m fitting more into how I’d want to be spending my time. I also love random outings and good food. This week also made me realize how much I need to get my permit within the next month.
I think I’m also going to make it my goal...
I am so beyond excited to learn about American History from the 1900s-onward. Right now I’m reading about the “Roaring Twenties”, with the Jazz Age, the Al-Capone-era-of-gangs, etc. Everything seems so much more classy than it is now. I want to return to the older days of men in pantsuits, patent loafers, and hats. And all of the photos of women of that decade look more...

With Valentine’s Day coming up, people on facebook are going crazy with saying “OMGGG, FOREVERR ALONNNE.” Uh? How old are you? Sixteen? Seventeen? Just because you don’t have that whack high school fling you desire, doesn’t mean you’re going to be “forever alone.” This forever alone craze reminds me of the time when it was “cool” to constantly say “FML.” I just don’t understand why...
