Angel

This song will never get old. I listen to it regularly and have since I was ten years old. I play this when I'm in any mood. It makes me happy if I'm in a sad mood, or it helps me get pumped up when I'm already in a good mood. I have memories of driving around Maryland listening to this in the car with my family with the top down enjoying the summer. I love that songs can bring back so many happy memories. I have many memories attached to this one song, and listening to it brings them all back. 

I'm famous. By famous, I mean I'm youtube famous. By youtube famous I mean I put this video of my sister's friends and family surprising her at her wedding two years ago on youtube, and we have had like 3,000 hits (mostly family and friends). I'm a lover of youtube. I love that things like my family dancing like losers can be put on the internet and shared with anyone we want (like my wonderful classmates). This video is dorky and shows my serious lack of rhythm, but it makes me smile so here you go.

crazzzzy

My friend showed this to me last semester. This is the CRAZIEST proposal/wedding ever but the whole flash mob thing is the COOLEST! I love that we can watch videos like this on the internet. It makes procrastinating and wasting time that much more fun ;) 

Talkshows

I love talkshows. Regis and Kelly were my favorites, and I was so sad when Regis retired. One of my other favorites is Ellen because she always has the most random things going on. She's also hilarious and finds new ways to make me laugh all the time. I love that she gets people to come on her show, and she shows them in a completely different light than we are used to seeing them in. This video had my cracking up so I thought I'd share with you all. Too funny!

Childhood Book

For our assignment we had to discuss our favorite book as a child. I knew mine right away and was excited to write about it. Ella Enchanted was my favorite book as a child because it allowed me to imagine. There were kingdoms, trolls, fairies and magic. I was able to create scenery in my head of a mystical, special place. I was a very imaginative child, and loved to take the story and think about it more and imagine more than what was written on the page. It was a happy place for me to go to as I jumped into the story and forgot about reality for a little while. I felt like the characters were my friends, and that their well being was linked to mine. They seemed like special people, and I wanted a happy ending for them. As a little girl I also loved reading about stories of love and happiness, and this story was a sweet story of a girl who falls in love. I would get giddy and excited when she would get love notes from the prince and was so relieved when good things would happen in their relationship.

 I loved this book so much! Sadly, they BUTCHERED the movie and it was hardly like the book at all. The movie was AWFUL! Do NOT watch it if you are a fan of the book. SO disappointing. 

Musical Films

I LOVE musicals. There need to be more musicals put into films. They are my favorite kind of movies, and they just make me giddy inside. I could be obvious and put disney movies up here, but I'm not going to. Ah! I'm excited. K, here are some of my favorites:

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. My grandma showed this to all of the grandkids when we were little, and since then it has been a family favorite. I have so many memories associated with this movie. I may even have Meet Me in St. Louis as the ringtone for when my best friend calls me....

I love this song from Slipper and the Rose. It takes like 5 minutes to get into the song so skip ahead. It's worth it. This movie is one of my mom's favorites, so it was watched a lot growing up. LOVE.

How can you not love this? This movie is so great! I used to try to do the dances to these in my living room when I was little. I'd use the couch to do the tricks that they do and the lifts. I was a strange child, but whatever. 

I have so many fond memories associated with this movie. I love that the father and daughter sing together. Movies like this make me wish that I could sing.


This is my dad's favorite song. I love this movie so much. When I was little my ward made movies and one group re-did the Wizard of Oz and they let me be mayor of the munchkins. My claim to fame. Awww yeah!


A boy will probably sing this song about me one day....


I love this so much! I don't really understand how the prince is Asian when his parents are Whoopi Goldberg and Victor Garber, but I guess I have bigger things to worry about.


We used to have Cats the Musical on VHS. I have friends who hate Cats, and just don't get. I understand that it's different, but I love it, and haters can hate.


LOVE

It wouldn't let me post below the next one. I love The Music Man. I was in this musical in 6th grade. I've loved the music ever since. Can I sing like her? Ok, sweet.



 I have a room mate named Christine, so I tend to sing her songs from this musical a lot. Music of the Night is one of the most beautiful songs. Andrew Lloyd Webber is a genius, and Gerard Butler did such an amazing job as the Phantom. This movie was SO WELL DONE!

Sorry for so many. I had to resist putting up more. I'm annoying sorry, I just love musicals! Yaya! 

Worst. Song. Ever.

I do not understand how this song is popular. Whenever I hear it on the radio I have to do a double take. The things that get put on the radio these days....yikes. Love you like a love song? K, cool. "Hypnotized by destiny." "Music to my heart, that's what you are." Nice lyrics Selena. Sorry for being a hater, but seriously this song is awful. My little sister LOVES Selena Gomez, and I have to leave the room whenever she starts playing this music.

Aside from this song being, for lack of a better word, crappy, the music video is the weirdest video I have ever seen. What's with the Mariachi band with the light sabers and hippie boyfriend that she hula hoops for? Actually I can't really single out weird parts because the ENTIRE video was absolutely bizarre. Sorry fans, but this one I just don't get.
