Troubled Disney?

The Black Cauldron - it might be my favorite disney movie. It has this wonderful character, Gurgi. And then the horned king, who I think, is a bit scarier then any other Disney villian.

I miss my poor little canon. It was quite the tragedy when it broke. I'm tired of posting pictures from the internet, so here - random photos. The first is a laser pointing at the camera - woooah, tripppayy. Next two are from UTNIF from this past summer (Quick! Where's the flux capacitor? Ahaha...) And finally a photo that never made the blog.

I'm excited to start filming this year. It will be loads of fun, yeah? I reread Michel de Montaigne's "Of Cannibals" the other day. It may be my favorite piece of literature at the moment. Don't bore me with heart breaking fiction of vampires and werewolves (cough cough). Appreciation for literature in my class has seemed to drain to a low. I also just finished "The Chrysalids". Sooo amazing.

Veronica Musings

VERONICA: "I want to be a rockstar when I'm older."
ME: "Everybody wanted to be a rockstar when they were younger."
VERONICA: "Really?"
ME: "Yeeeahh. You will also want to be a teacher, vet, and a doctor."
VERONICA: "If I was a doctor, I would have to help people."
ME: "Well don't you want to help people?"
VERONICA: "No, not really."

Mismatched

San Diego is nice. The people here are different from the ones in Texas. Not many dress like me. I actually saw someone wearing a cowboy hat though. It reminded me of home. But anywho, between my event filled days, I have these quiet moments to relax. I've decided to blog (of course). Today's feature would be the following two lovely ladies.

Gemma Ward. Have you seen her eyes? Most likely, you have. If not - you need to go look her up right now.

Kat Dennings. My alternative Ellen Page. I might actually.. almost prefer her? Shocking, yeah?

Daily Spread

Today, I visited a small area with multiple amusement park rides. There was also an artificial wave where people showed off their boogie boarding skills. But what caught my attention was the carousel. Children lined up against the railing and pointed and called out "I want the one with the red scarf!" or "I want the white horse, or the one with the gold saddle!" It was a whole different world. Childhood, that is. When each child was granted access to climb onto the animals, and the carousel started turning, they each waved and smiled. They didn't care who was watching - they just kept waving. Like princesses and princes. Or gentlemen/gentlewomen gallivanting across imaginary plains of magic. How precious, right?

Even more so, I remembered that there is so much more than what happens to myself. There are individuals with histories. They cry, laugh, and spread memories to one another. I have to remember that I am still only one person who is apart of this very crowd - a crowd of haters and lovers alike.
