Beauty and the Beast

Tale as old as time, true as it can be. Barely even friends, then somebody bends, unexpectedly. Just a little change, small to say the least. Both a little scared, neither one prepared, Beauty and the Beast. Ever just the same, ever a suprise, ever as before, ever just as sure, as the sun will rise. Certain as the sun, rising in the east. Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme, Beauty and the Beast. Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme...Beauty and the Beast. ♥

Beauty and the Beast first came out in theaters in 1991, when I was still in the womb. I never got the chance to see it on the big screen, but I've seen it countless times regardless :). It's by far the best Disney film ever made, and I would argue that it's the best animated film ever made - it is the only animated film to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture.

Belle has been my role model since I was too young to remember! My mom has a baby book for me, in which she states that when I was about 2 years old, I would stand in front of the tv when Beauty and the Beast was playing and I would sing all of Belle's lines and dance to everything else. My parents bought me the DVD when it was released for the first time (on DVD) in 2001, and I still have it :). I have a newer copy too, and I'm planning on getting both the Blu-Ray and DVD versions when they come out in the next two months. Ask anyone who knows me well and they can tell you about how much I have still look up to Belle and how much I love Beauty and the Beast.

The re-release of Beauty and the Beast: Diamond Edition is this year, and in honor of that, Beauty and the Beast was put back into theaters for two exclusive showings! You can only imagine my excitement and anticipation! I have literally waited my whole life to see this movie in theaters.

My dad wanted to take me to see it (how sweet is that?!?), so we bought tickets and went to the first showing, on Wednesday the 29th of September 2010. (This is kind of a "scrapbook" post :P) We were the first ones there, first ones into the seats, and got the best seats in the place. I wore a blue top (BELLE!) and did my hair in a sort of twisty ponytail to make it look more like Belle's, and I wore a pink rose ring. Call me a geek, but you have no idea how much this meant to me. The movie was fantasic and every bit as wonderful as ever. I actually cried during the movie :')
Judge me if you will. If you do, you don't love the movie as much as I do. :)

I've been singing Beauty and the Beast all week for voice practice (even though it's in my low register/chest voice) and when I practiced for ballet I used a ballet style recording of Beauty and the Beast. I bought a Beauty and the Beast tote to take with me to the movie. I could barely contain my excitement!!!!! I'm not even sure I did :P !!! The sing along part was really cool; I think I would have enjoyed it a little more to see it without the words on the bottom of the screen, but nothing was bringing this down for me. Below are some of the pics of me at the theater before I got to see the movie that shaped my childhood/life for the first time on the big screen.



There's me with my ticket! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I still can't believe how amazing it was. I feel like Beauty and the Beast has also helped me decide what to do for college. I only wish I could have worn a Belle costume to the movie, but college students like me generally lack funds.

I love Beauty and the Beast.

Commercials, part deux or trois

More commercials! I spent most of the day today on the couch feeling sick so I watched a lot of tv. So I thought I'd post some more of the interesting commercials I saw that stuck out to me.

Target hat commercial
lol I totally wear hats

M&M's commercial
.............m&ms.................

Fiber One Commercial
Fiber one is actually really good...

Talking Pothole Commercial
Oh shoot, I ain't got no cell phone!

So today in math class....you know, the one with Justin Bieber? Well today in class he told the teacher that he had to miss an upcoming class, and asked if he could still get credit for it because he was going to be performing in a concert. The teacher said yes - if you were one of the Jonas Brothers. lol

well I thought I had a lot more to say but I guess not...so.....kay bye!

Stylists

Tess from Camp Rock 2 is totally being styled by the same person as Hannah Montana!






That's all I have to say.

You know what gets on my nerves....

Parents who spoil their kids, particularly when their kids will only eat what they want. Ever heard of parenting? Yeah, that's your job. It's not that hard to make them eat healthy food or different food. Just don't give them the option and trust me, when they realize they're not getting what they want and then get hungry enough, they'll eat anything.

Anyway, the reason I'm venting about this is because of this commercial . It's ridiculous! Parents shouldn't have to trick their kids into eating vegetables!

Oh and then there's this Pediasure commercial. That's even worse! Her diet starting to affect her health and brain development! And the woman just buys the little pediasure bottles which only "help" fill the holes. The girl's still gonna be behind and now she's spoiled too.

Am I crazy for thinking this? I mean it's no wonder America is so obese!

This is a good vegetable/children related commercial. The girl knows she's eating vegetables and is even willing to share the news with other people. Her parents are raising her right in that respect and I bet her diet won't negatively affect her health and brain development. Sheesh.

Well that's all for this post, I'll probably blog again and add something later. Something more positive. :)

Eat your vegetables!

To Infinity and Beyond!

I totally want to do interval notation now! LOL my math teacher was explaining interval notation today and he says (in a Greek accent), "You put the closed bracket, 2, comma, then infinity and an open parentheses - to infinity and beyond!" pauses. "I enjoy Toy Story 3." :P

I am so excited to see TinkerBell and the Great Fairy Rescue! I've always been the biggest fan of Peter Pan, and of course fairies - if you don't believe that's just sad! :'( Anyways, I love me some fairies and Neverland, and I was really stoked when the TinkerBell/Disney Fairies books and merch came out in 2005. I read some of the books (as many as I could :P).
Vidia is my most favorite character of them all, and they're finally actually featuring her in the new movie AND they're putting Vidia into the Disney parks! EEEEE! Haha lol

So keeping with the movies theme, here's my list of movies that I want to see!

#1 - Beauty and the Beast!

It's being re-released into theaters this month. I've never seen it in theaters so I am sooooo happy about that!

#2 - Tangled.

Need I say more? I can't wait to hear the songs! The new trailer premieres tomorrow online.

#3 - The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader.


I'm taking my little sister to see it the day it comes out as her birthday present :) I love Narnia.

#4 - Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
I am a diehard Pirates fan :D While I'm disappointed about Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann won't be in it, I don't think they could be in it because of the ending of the third one. You know what happens. But I am annoyed about the possible love interest with Penelope Cruz and Jack Sparrow because A) Jack Sparrow is not a "love" kind of guy, and B) I don't like Penelope Cruz. I can't understand a word out of her mouth. But I am being optimistic, and I hope they prove me wrong with whatever doubts I have.

My Etsy shop/item was featured in this treasury!

Random prediction - you know how popular owls are right now with clothes, accessories, jewelry, etc? I think it's going to get super big in the next month.

I feel like I need to put something here...oh yes random picture! Whoopi Goldberg as Shenzi in her one night performance in The Lion King on Broadway! Super awesome.

Opinions?

I am thinking about buying a rose ring, and I can't decide right now, so I need opinions! Which one of these looks most like the rose from Beauty and the Beast? Pics of the rose are below.

Ring 1
Ring 2
Ring 3



So what do you think? I want to get one to wear to see Beauty and the Beast on two weeks when it's in THEATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAN YOU TELL I'M EXCITED??!?!?!?!! LOL, yes I am excited, in case you were wondering. So give me your opinion if you have one please! I have to get it in the next few days to get it here in time. :)

I need money.

Here's some stuff I'm currently drooling over on etsy.

Peter Pan Necklace
My favorite book ever! besides Pride and Prejudice
Aladdin Necklace
i waaaaaaantssssssssssss very badly
Wonderland Tea Party Necklace
it's so pretty and cute!
Bambi Pendant
:)
Stitch Necklace
Reminds me of my puppy.
Queen Victoria Necklace
I'm a huge fan of Queen Victoria. As weird as that may be o.O

Yeah so when I have moneys I'll have to start buying stuff. I bought a few rings last week (they're in the mail):
Minnie Mouse ring 1
Minnie Mouse ring 2
Rose ring

So I think I have to do something in order to get said money, since I don't have a job and I'm hardly babysitting anymore these days (partly by choice). I've got a few items for sale in my Etsy shop:



I have tons more though - about two years ago I went a little nuts making jewelry with food charms like donuts, poptarts, slices of pie, fruits, etc and that's what they're from. I will probably add more on their so people can see more of what I've done. If you want anything custom made I can do that too! :P That was a shameless plug :P

Random pic! Elizabeth and Will from Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, one of my favorite movies EVAR and one of my favorite couples ever :) Enjoy

Justin Bieber is in my class

No joke. Like you have no idea.

First off, not a Bieber fan. I don't have Bieber fever - I'm actually quite healthy.

Anyway, since I've been in this class, I haven't really seen the faces of everyone because it's a huge class and I'm pretty focused on my own thing when I'm there. But my instructor showed up to class a few minutes late this morning, so all of the students were waiting outside.

I'm standing there, minding my own business, and Justin Bieber walks by. I was like "Waah?" and then I went back to minding my own business. And he walks by again. I swear - same height as Justin Bieber, same age as Justin Bieber, same attire as Justin Bieber, same hair as Justin Bieber, same FACE! Hair, facial structure, eyes, mouth, smile, everything. You have no idea. I was seriously looking around for cameras - maybe I was on a prank show or like I Get That a Lot. So Justin Bieber goes and stands with a few other younger teen boys that are in the class. I stopped paying attention. And then he starts talking. HE SOUNDS LIKE JUSTIN BIEBER. I look over at the girl next to me, and she's texting, so she didn't notice. I look back and Justin Bieber takes his hat off and - wait for it - does the hair flip. O.O

^^ That with a college algebra book in his hand and a backpack.

It was too weird. I mean I'm really good with facial recognition - it's one of my "skills" lol, like if I've seen you somewhere before even if its been years, I will remember you, your name (if already met you), and where we saw each other. I've never thought someone was a celebrity before. I don't go to the mall and go OMIGOSH MEGAN FOX everytime a skinny girl with blue eyes and brownish black hair walks by - even if they do look like Megan Fox. This was legit.

Justin Bieber is in my class.

Don't mess with me and my seat.

Not much to say but... I guess in this case I'll just give you a run down of my day today.

So in my math class, I've been sitting in this one seat because it's up front. Two reasons for that 1) I pay attention better, and 2) I can actually see the board. I'm not the tallest person out there, and sitting in one of the other rows in this particular classroom makes it pretty hard to see oh, and least half of the board (people's heads and things getting in the way).


^^randomish image^^
Anyway, first day of class, chose my seat. Next day of class, this guy takes it. I ended up sitting in the very back of the classroom - like so far back you can't even hear the instructor. So I determined to make it to class early next time and make sure that I got my seat back. Got there with 20 minutes to spare, sat next to the door, and then got my seat. The guy sat two seats away from me. Today, I got there again with 20 mins to spare, sat by the door, and the guy walks by and like gives me a look. Okay, what is it, his time of the month? o.O So I get into the classroom and take MY seat. (Haha, I'm waay too possessive over that spot). And he sits down right next to me, when there are like three spots available in a row.

I mean maybe it's stupid, but I literally can't see in this classroom unless I'm in the front row. And he's a guy, so he should let me have the seat :P. I'm thinking he either A) wants my seat, or B) just can't find the right one (like Goldilocks - lol he's got blonde hair too), even after four class sessions. Or, maybe he IS Goldilocks and my seat is like the little bear's chair! :O I guess that would make me the baby bear....I think maybe I am being way too possessive over my spot lol. But I want that spot. Don't mess with me and my spot. :P

Next guy in the "GTRBTEC" lineup. If you must swoon over a manly movie character, I suggest one of these.

#2: Prince Char (from Ella Enchanted, played by Hugh Dancy)

Char (Charmont) is the prince of Lamia, and one day while he is making an appearance at a mall opening, he gets chased by fangirls, and runs into Ella. He is intrigued by her - her attitude, her opinions, and her kind heart. Later he runs into her again and ends up accompanying her on a journey, and during that time they fall in love. No spoilers after that point, in case you haven't seen the movie. He's charming, daring, strong, but also has a quiet side :) And he's not afraid of commitment.






Random pic next. A Scottish (?) lady o.O
