Names

I have spent too much time on this, but it is so fascinating. Maybe I'm weird, but I think this is so cool! You type in any name and it shows you the years that it was popular. I can't remember how I found this, but I found it a few months ago and went crazy typing in names of everyone I know. Check it

Pick Me Up

I love that the internet can be used to spread so much good. I love finding videos like this on youtube. I can feel the Spirit so strongly through music and David Archuleta's voice is amazing. I've been so stressed out lately and listening to this song has helped calm me so much. I love it and hope you all do too.

Disney Channel Original Movies

Did you know that the Disney Channel original movies that we grew up watching are almost all on youtube in parts? Yeah, best discovery ever! My friends and I spent our Friday night watching Wish Upon a Star. 

I LOVED these movies growing up. I used to watch Double Teamed and try to do the cool fake move that helps them win the game. I watched Gotta Kick It Up and pretended like I was suddenly good at dancing. Such cheesy movies, but you can't help but love them. 

Disney has gone downhill since I was a kid. The TV shows are LAME and the original movies are equally as awful. Also, since when do ten year olds have girlfriends on Disney? I swear they just keep getting young and younger each year. 

Movie Songs

One of my favorite things is when movies have a great theme song or great soundtracks. Music in films can completely change the entire mood of the movie. I love the good war movies with the intense music in battle and the sentimental music when there's a lovey moment. I'm very much influenced by music and consider it to be a huge part of who I am. Here is some of my favorite music from movies

I love Man From Snowy River. I started learning this song on the piano, but then my parents' cleaning lady moved the sheet music, and I've never been able to find it. I can attempt to impress you with the first two pages that I can play though haha. 

I get chills. So.... magical



Obviously..


This soundtrack brings back so many memories. So beautiful!


Ahhhhh


Another obvious one

Knowing me I need to stop here, or I will be annoying and post way too many. I'll also probably come up with the best one right after I post this. 

making changes

I found the video that we watched in class so fascinating. I wanted to look more into the cause and found this little video. I liked how it shared statistics and then gave encouragement to make changes. I loved it! So powerful! Often times I think I wouldn't be able to make a difference, but then videos like this excited me and make me want to get involved in the change. Hope you all like it as well!

Wedding Blogs

I regularly follow wedding blogs. Yes, I am single and nowhere close to marriage, but for the past few years I have been a wedding blog stalker. I love them! My sister is a wedding planner, so I use blog stalking as an excuse to help her find things for brides. I'm her assistant at weddings, so I say that my blogging love is mainly to help her (lies). I have WAY too many blogs that I follow. My friends know that I'm a lover of all things wedding and are always asking me to send them all of my links to blogs. It's always a challenge for me to do so because I may or may not follow 85 wedding blogs.... and the numbers keep growing! Luckily I have my netnewswire (which I previously blogged about) that tells me when they update, so I don't visit the sites looking for updates. I've mastered the art of stalking these blogs and can blow through them all pretty quickly. I've just made myself sound like a total loser by admitting my blogging love, but at least when the time comes for my wedding I'll be totally prepared.

 Speaking of wedding blogs, I'm going to brag and show my sister's wedding that I regularly see around the internet. It's been 2 years but it's still weird for me when I see people I know that don't know my sister pinning her wedding dress. 

HeyTell

I have an app on my phone that I LOVE called HeyTell. It's basically a walkie talkie for your phone. It saves all of your messages, and you can listen back on the funny things that have been said. My friends and family have gotten a little crazy with it, but it's fun to listen back on old messages and laugh. I usually wake up to an obnoxious HeyTell from my brother-in-law, but it's always entertaining nonetheless. I love this way of communication because you can hear the tone of voice and know exactly what the person is meaning. I'm a person who hates calling someone just to have them answer one question. I get sick of texting and don't feel like typing out what I want to ask. Also, it replaces having to call people on the phone in the car because you can't text them. HeyTell is awesome because I just push down the button and say what I want to say then it sends automatically. Maybe this app just helps add to my laziness, but I love it!

Hoku

Sorry to blog about another song from childhood, but I just rediscovered this song! I loved this song when it came out and used to watch this music video on tv all the time! I was curious, so I did some snooping. According to Wikipedia she lives with her husband and two kids in Orange County. It's funny to think of the different people that I looked up to when I was little. Hoku, during this phase was definitely one of the people I wanted to be like. She was cool just singing about burritos while hangin' with her hot surfer boyfriend. When you're ten years old what get's cooler than that?

I hope you all get as much of a kick out of this as I did. The music video is SO lame, but the memories are worth watching it again.
