Day 9: Best couple

I had to go with the classic best couple; Mickey and Minnie Mouse of course! I love watching the old cartoons with them because they are so adorable. They were made for eachother...literally :] best couple by far!

Day 8: Saddest moment :'(

This one was also very easy to pick. I'm not usually a person that cries during movies, in fact, I can probably count the movies I've cried during on one hand, and this is one of them. Not only did Up make me cry, it made me bawl like a little baby. It hits you right at the beginning too! Not fair! Because Carl and Ellie are the perfect couple and they are so happy and so cute and then WHAM! Gone. NOT FAIR!!! Well, first they start off with the doctors office which made me start to tear up and sniffle, and then they show them all old and cute, but no! Right when I was thinking, "Gee I really like Ellie!", Pixar dashes my hopes to bits. We saw this at the Drive-in, so thankfully I was outside and not in close proximity to strangers because I was crying. Not a little either, it was like red in the face, swollen eyes, runny nose, can't catch your breath crying. The whole movie has moments where I would just cry and cry, and then I would laugh and be happy again. Of course, the movie became one of my absolute favorite movies of all time. Did I mention how cute Carl and Ellie were together? Did I mention how unfair it was?!

Confession: I watched this just now and cried! I'm really a sap :(

Day 7: Favorite castle

This one was a no-brainer for me. So much so that I started to doubt my decision, but no, Cinderella Castle is most definitely my favorite castle. It's the castle I grew up dreaming I would see at least once, and when I saw it for the first time I teared up a little (whatta sap.) I could stare at the castle all day and not get bored. I think that it is so beautiful, and everytime I see it before a movie starts I get all giddy and excited. One day I would like to see the castles that this castle, and all the castles in each Disney park, were modeled after.


The Chateau de Chaumont in France & the Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany

I want to see these two the most! They are so pretty :]

Days 5&6: Favorite kiss and Prettiest princess

I'm so sorry! I had my skating competition this weekend so I was getting home really late at night and I was too tired to write :[ then yesterday I twisted my ankle skating so I was just exhausted, but I will catch up on the challenge today! I'll write day 7 later today so I'll be all caught up by tonight :]
Day 5 is favorite kiss. The kiss from the Princess and the Frog definitely has to be my favorite. Tiana looks so disgusted when Prince Naveen says she has to kiss him. The facial expressions she makes are hysterical!
Alright Day 6 is prettiest princess. I think all of the princesses are pretty so it's difficult to pick just one as the prettiest. Well, after thinking about it, I chose Princess Aurora, probably just because I wish I looked like her haha :] PLUS, my mom and I go over this all the time because how in the heck are her legs so smooth when she is living in the middle of the forest?! It's amazing. And I was always super jealous that she could have either a pink or blue dress. Plus, she has to win because of how pretty she looks when she's "sleeping". No one looks that pretty sleeping ever!

Day 4: Favorite song



I have a skating competition all weekend which is making the 30 day challenge a little tougher than I thought...day one and I'm already exhausted! Alright;

Favorite song: I Won't Say (I'm In Love) from Hercules.

Why?:
~When I was little, I would sing this song on the top of my lungs everytime it came on. I would belt it out like a champ.

~Meg is one of my absolute favorites. She's so sassy. Disney needs more sassy girls like her. I bet she'll show up again somewhere during this challenge.

;D

Day 3: Favorite prince

At first I couldn't really think of a prince that was my favorite. I like them all the same, and none really jumped out as a favorite. But then I remembered, Prince Caspian is definitely a Disney movie! So Prince Caspian is hands down my favorite Disney prince. Well there are the definites like he is generous, brave, and kind, which are the Disney prince characteristics...but umm...I kind of like that he's...absolutely gorgeous? :] haha Sorry, I couldn't resist. Look, I love the Chronicles of Narnia it was one of my favorite series that I read when I was little, but the movie wasn't that great. He made it a lot better to watch though! The last time we were at Disney for Christmas I got a Prince Caspian pin that is still on one of my backpacks that I use to travel with. Plus, the accent helps :]






swoon

Okay I'm done gushing. Anyway, last night I met up with Jess again who is going to be my roommate in Disney! We went to Cold Stone and then saw Toy Story 3 again :] we had a lot of fun getting to know eachother more and laughing about the Michael Jackson impersonator (lol) it's nice to have someone that I can talk to face to face about the CareerStart program because she is just as excited as I am about starting! Plus, it makes it a lot more real feeling that I'll actually be there soon :] can't wait! Day 4 tomorrow...

Day 2: Favorite princess

So, this probably is no surprise at all! My favorite Disney princess is most definitely Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Like I said in my last post, out of all the Disney princesses she is the one I can relate to the most. I love that even though she was the oddball in her town, she never changed who she was no matter what. She also loves books, which always made me very happy because I love books too :] Even though I was 13 the first time I went to Disney, I was still all excited to meet Belle! She was even my favorite when I was little and I was her for Halloween when I was younger too :] I'll find a picture of it and put it on here soon. Anyway, there you go! Day 2 of the challenge is complete :]

P.S. Sorry about all the background changes lately. I've been experimenting and trying to find the perfect background, so it will probably change about 50 more times, and then 50 more times after that :]

Day 1: Favorite movie

This is really tough! I bet I'm going to have a tough time with every single one, but for this one I have two that I just can't pick one over the other. My first one is Beauty and the Beast. This has been my favorite move ever since I was a little girl, and I'm basically obsessed with the story. I've seen the show, I've been to the Disney on Ice Beauty and the Beast (My first Disney on Ice ever!), and I have read so many versions of the story, but the Disney movie will always be my favorite. I love all of the characters, all of the music, and the movie overall is just absolutely gorgeous! Plus, out of all the Disney princesses I've always been able to relate to Belle the most.

And my second favorite movie is definitely Lilo and Stitch. This is one of the cutest movies I have ever seen! I remember that my mom got the Lilo and Stitch soundtrack before the movie even came out, and I loved it! I love the hawaiian music and I love Elvis Presley, so that makes it amazing. I love all the characters in Lilo and Stitch too! My iPod pops up as Cobra Bubbles when I plug it into the computer, and we were very close to naming our cat Stitch (But he was also almost named Jack Bauer like in 24/It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, but was then named Horatio after Horatio Caine from CSI:Miami. We didn't realize that lots of people don't watch the show as religiously as us, so we are used to the funny looks we get when we tell them his name. It's also fun when they call his name at the Vet's office.) Plus, the movie makes me laugh all the time! It made me also want to visit Hawaii so badly. Hawaii is at the top of my list of places I desperately need to go to! Plus, I really want to start celebrating sandwich day because of Pudge.


Yay Pudge! Stay tuned for Day 2!!

#9

Now that school is over it feels like the days are going by soooo slowly! It feels like graduation was a million weeks ago, not two weeks ago. My schedule has been very boring. I've just been working, cleaning, and skating these days. To try and make the days go by a little faster so it doesn't feel like they are going by as slow as molasses, I've been making my list of what I'm going to bring down with me, which always makes me excited :] what doesn't make me excited is that it's about three pages long front to back...and it's not even close to being done. You see, I always need to bring everything with me (I get it from my mother, hi Mom ;D) so I always end up overpacking for wherever I go. I know I'll probably be sending tons of stuff home once I get there, but at least I will be well prepared for the first few weeks :] really, I pack like I'm getting ready for the apocalypse. Anyway, I'm really looking for stuff to do so August 20th will get here faster because working at this sandwich place is definitely not cutting it. It's only been about two weeks and if I see another Mayflower (Mayo, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and turkey) I might throw it at the person ordering it, not Disney-like behavior at all, but it's not like I'm making sandwiches at Disney, which I would be always be happy doing because I would be in Disney, I'm making them in boring old Franklin. Alright, enough with my ranting because I bet there will be plenty more to come. I will leave you with this ah-mazing video that always makes me smile and always makes me realize that even though it feels very far, going to Disney is right around the corner :]

Wait...WE'RE GRADUATING SUNDAY?!?!

The last month has been so crazy for me! Between skating competitions, my birthday, the school play, and getting ready for graduation, I've been as busy as a bee. This past week was senior week, and who knew that senior week would be so exhausting?! First we went to High Meadows in Connecticut, which is kind of like a campground and they set it up with different activities for us to do, but it was a total bust. It rained on and off all day, our bus broke down on the way there so we had to switch to an already full bus on the Mass Pike (which I have to admit made me a little scared!) and there were so many other schools there that it was too crowded to really do anything. None of us were too happy about that trip, but it did have some fun moments!



Wednesday we had a cookout at school which was pretty fun. The teachers just let us sit outside and eat and then let us out early. That night we had honors night, and I won $100 for a weird test I had to take! This money will probably start my savings for Disney :] or I'll spend it on something useless. Either way, I'll make sure it's something good!


Today we had our Boston Harbor senior cruise which was really fun too :] it was semi-formal so everyone was dressed up and there was really good food and there was a DJ too! It was kind of like our last hurrah as the Tri-County senior class of 2010. Tomorrow is our last day ever at Tri-County and graduation rehearsal and then poof! graduation is on Sunday!!


It still really hasn't hit me yet that we are graduating and not coming back next year. Don't get me wrong, I am a little sad that it's all coming to an end. I'll miss some of the people and teachers, but on the other hand I'm excited to finally be done. Everyone always wonders what their graduation will be like when they're younger. At least I always did at the end of every year I was at Tri-County because they would start setting up the graduation stage the week before graduation. I always wondered what it would be like to walk across the stage. Now that I'm really close to doing "the walk", it's....I don't even know how to explain it!! It just makes me even more excited about Disney and how it's almost here!! I think it'll really start to hit me when I cross that stage, and maybe that's when I'll get a littly teary-eyed, but it will also be a relief, and I can now put all of my attention towards getting ready for Disney!! Cue the stereotypical graduation jams...now!
