Everywhere you look, I'm standing in the spotlight!

I just can't WAIT to be king!
Here's my new Simba hat! Lol I love it. It has this little bit that sticks up like Simba's hair, but you can't see it in the photo. And I'm making a weird face :P

Anywayssss, this is kind of a Lion King post. Why? Because it's awesome. Like duh.

In case you didn't already know, Whoopi Goldberg did a one-night-only performance in TLK on Bway wherein she played a bunch of different roles in the show. Here's the video, which is hilarious.


I'm so excited to see it next year!!!!!! lol

In other news, my Etsy shop is really starting to come along I've had 7 sales now and I've been listing a bunch of new times (16+) and even made some custom items for a customer. !!!! Yay!!!! I need the money.

In other other news, I had to get a wig to wear for this costume party scavenger hunt I'm doing with my church (I'm a hs leader and that was my job for the event). So I picked this one, which of course is not the highest quality wig but I'm not keeping it or paying for it myself so I'm not worried.

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

In the mind of a child


This post is dedicated to my mom

Tonight we had a little girls night in and watched Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella, the one with Lesley Ann Warren. My mom was telling us all about how much she loved the movie when she was little and it was very sweet :) She said that she always thought it was the saddest move because of how terribly Cinderella was treated and how pitiful she was. She was telling us all
about how much she loved (and still loves) Cinderella's ballgown, with the little bit of sparkle and the tiara. "With that dress and that crown, you don't need any earrings or necklace," she was saying :P And then came the ball scene, and my mom was telling me about how she always knew Cinderella and the prince were meant for each other because when Cinderella comes to the ball, they are wearing matching outfits. ♥ And during the scene when Cinderella has to leave the ball, my mom said she had cried because she was so worried and didn't know what would happen to Cinderella. This was when she was about 5 years old.

Then we were talking about how magical things can be for children, and how some movies and music can make you feel the same feelings that they did when you were a child and how that never goes away. I was thinking about just how cool it is that she still ha
s all of those memories after all this time, and it was very sweet of her to share them. I don't hear that kind of stuff from her very often. It was just really cool to hear stuff like that from my mom, because I really enjoy finding out more about my parents. They are such awesome people.

So I wanted to dedicate this post to my mom
♥ I love you!

to the people with whom I conversated

I was going through all of my old docs today and I found a few chat convos I had saved, and some random jokes. I'm not disclosing any of the names of the people with whom I had these conversations or anything, but I will tell you which one is me and what relationship I have with the other person.

Me + E: My friend
Me: I need new shoes...but I don't have the money. So I'm going to dress up like a beggar, and put on an English accent and sit in the street, covered in mud.
E: well okay
Me: And ask people for money.
E: Just look both ways before sitting in the street.
Me: And if they say no I'll staple them with a stapler. So there.
E: Wow. That's vicious.
Me: Of course, sitting in the mud will make my worn out shoes even worse so it kind of defeats the purpose....... :/ Lol
E: True dat. Lol

It was totally random but I find it to be a funny memory.


Me + S: My brother.
This one requires a little backstory before you begin reading. It was the night before my 17th birthday, around 11:55ish. I had told my bro (who was away at school atm) that I wasn't going to grow up and instead I was going to go to Neverland that night and I would be 16 forever. He made a joke about catching a flight on the "pixie plane", so that's what that whole deal is.

S:
any spare seats on the pixieplane?
Me:
just one
S:
alright, I want an aisle seat in first class
Me:
hurry up
(And the clock strikes twelve)
Me:
Wow. I'm 17 now.
S:
no you're not.
Me:
and 2 minutes
S:
you're on hte pixieplane
Me:
oh yeah nevermind
S:
but tinkerbell pantsed me so I missed it
Me:
the pixie dust messes with my brain
S:
lol
Me:
She doesn't like you
S:
I know, I'm too awesome for my shirt

That one is really a favorite of mine. We have the "pixie plane" joke at all of my birthday stuff now. :) I think my flight got delayed though. Still waitin', Peter! lol

The French Ditcher
One day my sister and I were talking about this Thanksgiving ding-dong-ditch thing our church was doing. It's a lot better than it sounds, lol. We make up thanksgiving dinner baskets and ding-dong-ditch someone's house. We leave them at the door of less fortunate people. Anyway, my sister for some reason was joking in a French accent (o.O) and said this.
*Knock on the door* "Hello, I am a French ditcher! And I am here to join your league of ding-dong-ditchings!"
Totally weird, I know. It's hard to get why it's funny unless you heard her. My sister is like this mad comedian person and she had the accent and like a funny face and everything :P

Well that's it for the moment, read my other post about the princess bride stuff :P lol well you don't have to. But yeah I hope you understood some of this, if you even read past the first one.

a post of random proportions

So I haven't posted random stuff in a little while. Well I guess that's debatable depending on how your mind works o.O But anyway, here is a little post about random stuff! Are you ready?!?!

THE LION KING DIAMOND EDITION IS COMING OUT NEXT YEAR. OMGsh. It's like my 3rd favorite Disney movie! Little Mermaid/Beauty and the Beast, then The Lion King. Then Sleeping Beauty. I think. There's just waaaay to many awesome Disney movies to choose from to list my favorites after TLM BATB and TLK. Anyways I saw the commercial for it online and I got all excited. I bought something this morning before I knew about this that has to do with The Lion King but I don't have it yet so no pictures :/

I love Mufasa. He is the single most amazing male character ever made. I just hear that name and I shudder. *Mufasa...Mufasa Mufasa Mufasa!* lol I am SUCH a dork. But he really is the best.

And.....my next birthday (early spring next year) my parents have already told me what they're going to give me. The Lion King (pretty much the BEST stage musical ever, other than POTO according to everyone) is coming here on their national tour. So I get to go see it!!!! Yay for all of this crazy Disney-ness!

This is just a random commercial, something a little funny to brighten up your day a teensy bit. Dibs on the plaid ones.

Other than that, TANGLED looks amazing...especially the new trailer they released last month. The first trailer was fine, it looked funny, but the next trailer has that powerful more epic feel. I'm liking what they're doing with Rapunzel's personality in terms of originality.

Went to my first high school football game tonight, even though I'm no longer in high school. I know that sounds weird but it never really appealed to me before like this year. Anyways, I don't know much about football so whenever the people in our stand started shouting my friend and I were yelling random things we had heard from movies with football scenes, like: "I LOVE FOOTBALL!" and "KILL THE LANCERS!" from a Cinderella Story. It was fun and during halftime they had these "Junior Cheerleaders" come out and do a routine with the high school cheerleaders (who all looked like they were 12 o.O). And they danced to "Best of Both Worlds" from Hannah Montana. It was cute and suiting for the age group, but it was just really depressing to see all of those little girls dancing to Miley's music considering how much of a.....well, you know what she is.

Well that's all I got for now, I should be getting a lot of sleep because I have to go to dance class tomorrow morning and then babysit tomorrow night and I won't have much chance to relax.

Remember who you are.

Summer heat in October :o

I can't believe it's already October! Where did August and September go?? The really weird thing is that here where I live, it's usually begun to snow by September. Today the weather was 83 degrees! I am absolutely LOVING it! Of course I am looking forward to the fall/winter weather because it means I can wear cute scarves, coats, and boots :P I would prefer the heat though.
Oh, a little sidenote - anyone else on Twitter? My twitter is HannahBurlew so feel free to find me on there and add me. I've got my posts hidden from people who aren't approved but as long as you're not a 45 year old creeper dude, I'll add you. :)

Since I'm here I thought I might as well post some info about my online pages and things. First of all, I have an Etsy shop - JuicyJewelryStore. You probably already know that (if you've been on the blog before), but in case you're new, there you are! I make polymer clay jewelry like donut earrings, eggs and bacon, hostess cupcakes, and more! I just made my very first sale on Sunday night and I was so psyched! I hope the buyer will be pleased with his purchase. I just sent it out today so it should be there before too long. I've been considering sending a few "sample" products to bakeries and places like that who might appreciate them. What do you think?

Random note! I went to Walmart today to get some bubble wrap to wrap the earrings I sold in before they shipped. All they had were these huge rolls so that's what I had to get....but they were PINK!! How cool is that? Colored bubble wrap. :P I think I'll have to take a pic of it. It's in honor of the breast cancer research going on right now. Speaking of that...or related to that......

My best friend's mother died from ovarian cancer over a year ago now, and she's running in a race to support her family and research for ovarian cancer. Here's the link to the little site she's got up: Run for Her . Please please PLEASE support her if you can. She's doing something very noble and it's all in memory of her mother. You can't imagine what it will mean to her if you can help her out. Even in the smallest amount, like even if you can only spare 20 cents. :)Well that's all I got right now... I'm like uber-depressed and I hate it because I almost never get like this but it's like I'm mad because I'm sad and that makes me sad, which again makes me mad.....I need a pick-me-up.
