Back to Ballet!

I'm starting Ballet I tomorrow! YAY! I haven't danced seriously since I was about 13, but I had 5-6 years of ballet training for the Royal Academy of Dance. So.....I've been missing it for the last few years but my priorities have been voice first then acting, so dance has been on the back burner for a while. Plus, since I started college last fall (2009) I have had a ton of people randomly asking if I'm a ballerina o.O Not sure why, but my French teacher, two girls in my French class, four people in public speaking and a few other people have all asked me, so I thought maybe it was a sign (lol) to get back into it. Anyway, I got into a class at the college this semester and it begins tomorrow! :D

I'm really excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the dance will be a really good leg up in musical theater auditions and upcoming Disneyland character performer auditions (the whole Disneyland character performer auditions thing is all depending on whether or not I go to CalState Long Beach for my last 2 years of school).

So in this post, I'm going to post a bunch of ballet pictures to get me even more excited haha! I'm not exactly sure that's a good idea, but I'm going to anyway.













That kind of counts as my random pic...so there you go. :)

First day of school!

w00t! w00t! Yeah so Tuesday was the first day back at school for me. My second full year in college, but last year I didn't get the full year's amount of credits because I had to take two highschool-level math classes. It was technically my senior year of high school, and kinda like my freshman year of college all rolled up into one :/ So I'm just going to say last year was my senior year and this year is my freshman year. Capiche?

Back to the subject. Tuesday was my first day back, the first day of my first year of all-college classes. I'm taking College Alg - my last math class EVER! - French 2, English 2, and Ballet. No cute guys in any of my classes so far, unless one has late entry :( haha Anyway, I really need to get back into the habit of having a normal sleep schedule because ever since the summer began, waaay back in May I've been all off and I have to get up at 6 every class day this semester, so I'm gonna need mah sleep! That's actually exactly what I should be doing right now - sleeping. But I'm all distracted, tomorrow's the second day of class, and I'm like not taking school seriously yet. I'm still in the summer state of mind.

Oh random tidbit - in my French 2 class there's me, and another girl, who both have pretty much the same name. At least it sounds the same in French accents, so my teacher says she needs to come up with something else for me. My classmate suggested Wendy (lol) because we did a Peter Pan skit for our final in French 1 and I played Wendy, and my other classmate suggested "la petite sirene". Betcha can't guess what that means :P

I'm taking some meds right now for dizziness (been getting dizzy when I drive) and I think they're making me kind of hyper. I'm typing super duper fast right now and I feel like I can't really control it o.O But I should really be getting to sleep for school tomorrow.

Starting with this post, I'm going to do a "Guys that are better than Edward Cullen" series. LOL don't take it the wrong way if you're a Twilight/Edward fan.

Guy #1: Westley (Dread Pirate Roberts) from Princess Bride, played by Cary Elwes. (BTW this is not in any particular order from best to worst or anything, just as I think of them.

Westley is a farm hand who works for Buttercup's family (assuming). He and Buttercup fall in love, and Westley goes away to try and earn enough money for the two of them to marry. He never returns, but we see him later as The Dread Pirate Roberts, who saves Buttercup from marrying the ugly and evil Prince Humperdinck. He's charming, quiet, noble, and he guard Buttercup with his life. <3 And I just have to put this in, but he's way better looking than any of the guys in the Twilight movies. :D




So there's my first GtrBtEC pick. Hope you like.

Random pic! These are some super cute earrings I found on etsy.com. They remind me soooooo much of Disneyland! Ah it's been way too long and I need to go again asap.

I need to name my car!

Ok so I bought it about 3ish weeks ago, and it has yet to be named. Here's a pic:
Yellow 2002 Ford Escape if you want to search more pics. Anyway, it needs to be named. It is a girl, so no boy name suggestions :P

Here are some names that have been suggested: Penelope, Alice, Lucy, Chelsea, and Cali (short for california).

Penelope, because in the movie James McAvoy sings "You are my sunshine", but my mom says it reminds her of a pig, so I'm leaning away from it now.

Alice because it's cute and simple, and Alice in Wonderland has blonde hair.

Lucy because I love Narnia and she's really cute! :P

Chelsea, because she's my favorite character from That's so Raven and I'm an Anneliese Van Der Pol fan.

Cali because it's short for CA and that's where I want to move back to. I miss it :'(

Suggestions? Votes for any of the other names? It's a girl car so no guy names :P

Nemo :'(

I will never eat caviar. I just can't do it. I see eggs, I think Nemo :'(

How can you look at these and then eat caviar?





:'(

I'm the same way about eggs in general. It's just weird for me, eating something that hasn't even been born yet....I'll eat them in things, like recipes like cakes or whatever, but not straight eggs. Is that crazy?

This all seems kind of random, but I went to afternoon tea with a friend the other day, and we were served cucumber sandwiches that had caviar on top. I didn't have any of them because of this Nemo thought. It might sound stupid but I was wishing I could take them home and put them in water and save them...if only that would work. And I don't eat any seafood period, but I bet you could guess why.

Random pic............um............it's Rachel Hurd-wood. She's like super gorgeous. She was Wendy in the 2003 live-action Peter Pan.

Adventures!

My best friend flew in from CA on Thursday (eeeep!) and we're spending three days in *bleeeeeeped location, don't want any internet stalkers* before going home. Yay! I'm so excited for her to be here.

So yesterday we went to the Aquarium and then the State Capitol. I picked the Aquarium (big surprise, lol) and she saw the State Capitol driving in and wanted to go there. The aquarium was awesome! I haven't seen my fishy friends in a long time.
I think the last time I went to an aquarium I was about 10 o.O. My favorite were the sharks. They had some girls dressed up as mermaids for pics with kids, but they were totally un-authentic and my bff says I'm totally the real deal :D That made my day.

The State Capitol was AMAZZZZING and we totally felt like we were in National Treasure walking around.

There are three levels and then the dome ceiling, so we started running up stairs and taking pictures. When we got to the second floor there were several tourists and a group walking around, but Lisa (my bff) wanted to go higher, so we found some stairs off in a hallway and took them up.

There was literally no one else up there, so we were feeling kind of rebellious and there was a real feeling of adventure to it :P Below is the view from the "forbidden stairs".

We took some pics and video and then went back down. But it was pretty darn awesome. *the pics in this post are mine btw*
