Olympics Day 4 and 5

Everybody is buggin out because Shaun White didn't medal. I just hope people don't dwell on this, he is an amazing boarder, and he is hecka cute. I mean really out of all the amazing things he has done on a snow board and just because he doesn't place in one competition he suddenly isn't as awesome as he was. Really guys it's not that deep and we shouldn't be so shallow.

Yesterday night was cool, the American pair skated to Skyfall and I loved their costums. But the Russians were amazing, I don't know anything about them, but their interview was beautiful. Their love for each other and their sport is amazing. And that's all I have to say.

Olympics Day 2 and 3

I fell asleep 3 or 4 times during the opening ceremony, but what I saw was pretty good. I loved the multiple dimension animation they used. And the girls who led in the counties were interesting. But what really got me was the mock competition going on with the countries out fits, America did pretty well in that regard, I really liked the Polo. Then there was the talking in Russian. Honestly if there not yelling at each other it's not worth listening to.

And day 3 I saw the amazing Gracie Gold and Yulia Lipniskaya after her. They both did amazing. Yulia has wonderful technique and flexibility, but while watching her it seems that she disconnects from the music and just focuses on technique. On the other has Gracie has soul.

  

And after that Downton Abbey came on so had to watch that. Bates know. I'm so excited for the next episode. I pretty sure Daisy is gonna hit Ivvy with a rolling pin. And then there's Mary and her new suitors. I want three rich men falling all over me. She just flirts so effortlessly, I need to learn that. Poor Edith, that's all I can think to say. She has been through so much, and in that time period she has so few options.

British TV continued to punch me in the heart after Downton with the movie The Making of a Lady I hadn't planned to stay up but it grabbed me, and in less than 30 minutes I was emotionally attached to the characters. I hate British people. Which is why I want to go there and study film. Sigh. If you ever get the chance watch that movie.

Olympics Day 1

The Sochi Olympics started off with a bang for the Russians, with 31 year old Evgeny Plyushchenko doing an amazing routine. This rockstar of Russia is coming off of spinal surgery, but you wouldn't tell that by his performance, although I know nothing about figure skating. But I do know that Yuzuru Hanyu deserved very point he got and maybe more. He came on to the ice with lots of energy and personality. When commentators said figure skating was the sport of show offs I couldn't help thinking Hanyu reminded me of a dark haired, more coordinated Tamaki. 

I've been thinking a lot about the movie Anastasia, Russia has such a fantastic and interesting history, all of which is said to be in the opening ceremony tonight. So much planning, money, and energy have gone in to these Olympics. Apparently this is a huge steping stone for Putin and he doesn't plan on wasting it. Although his anti-gay propaganda laws have not made him popular with the leaders of the western world, but from what I gather he couldn't care less. His platform is for his people and his country. 

As far as America goes, not so well in ice skating, but stronger in the new Olympic event of slope style. I really enjoyed watching that event, lots of tricks and flips. It was a bit sad not seeing Shaun White but there were other attractive male boarders to represent America and Canada. All and all it should be an exciting Olymip games.

Did You Miss Me

I watched His Last Vow.
It was amazing.
Yes I did miss him.

To Mr.Moffat and Mr.Gatiss you have done it again. When I saw Moriraty in the straight jacket, I thought it was amazing that he would be in the dungeons of Sherlock's mind palace, I found it incredibly poetic.

"Did you miss me" Yes we missed you so much and we are so thrilled to have you back. All I could do was laugh and smile for the rest of the night, singing to my self "did you miss me". A terrific ending to a fantastic beginning.

Therapy

Right now I feel like blaaaaaaaaargh. I want to do something but I have no idea what I want to do. It's that moment when nothing is good enough, but if someone suggests something you get mad because you don't want to do that thing. It's annoying. It's depressing. It's frustrating. 

I don't want to look at a movie, I don't want to read a book, I don't want to listen to music. I honestly don't really want to write, right now but I have no idea what else to do. So I'm writing. It's supposed to be therapeutic.

What's up with this weather latly. It's winter Mother Nature please try to understand that. Because when it's 55 degrees one day then there's three inches of now on the ground the next day that's confusing. 

What's up with guys. One minute they like you then the next minute they can't see you waving hello. That confusing. And they want to get mad when you don't talk to them for a week because you thought you guys weren't friends anymore.

What's up with girls. Why must we go through the cycle of endless painful heart wrenching emotion. I hate him. I hate her. Kill the flower. Aww look a puppy. That's incredibly confusing.

I think I feel better now. Ok bye

Get in the Christmas Spirit

For awhile now I haven't felt a true Christmas Spirit. You know the anticipation, the extreme decorations, the pure joy of it all. It started last year when I didn't even know what day of the month we were on until Christmas Eve and then Christmas was gone. Sure I got presents, saw my family, and had a great dinner but that was it.

This year I'm having some of the same problems, but I want to celebrate Christmas for the gift it is. Even though Christmas was never originally about Jesus, its still the fact that He came down from His throne to save us sorry suckers. And its about family, one day of the year when all of the family drama is in one place but we try to ignore it and have a fantastic time. And its about the food, the amazing food that lasts till the 31st.

So if you're having some of the same problems as me or even if you're not, put on some Christmas music, watch A Charlie Brown Christmas, make some hot chocolate, and go be with your family.

Happy Holiday and keep it Typical TeenAge

Day 2 of Fantasyland Adventure

Since I went to bed at like 1am yesterday after waking up at 3am to get here, waking up at 7am was not pleasant. But the fun continues. We went back to Magic Kingdom for the official ribbon cutting for the New Fantasyland.

Now guess who cut the ribbon? Ginnifer Goodwin, Snow White, from Once Upon a Time, now how fitting is that. I nearly lost my mind, and standing right next to her, Jordin Sparks. Mindblown, of course Micky was there dressed in his royal best along with the chairman of Disney whose name I don't know, and don't really care about.

So after the ribbon cutting we moved to Cinderella castle. Ginnifer Goodwin introduced Jordin Sparks and we got front row seats to a Holiday Concert with singing and dancing and all your favorite princesses and princes, except Merida, but that may be because she is to young and doesn't have a prince.

On to fantasyland we went, after eating a much needed breakfast. And after we went to Space Mountain of course.

Now on to Fantasyland. We rode the famous tea cups, the new Dumbo the Flying Elephant and The Barnstormer.

  

Now let me tell you about the Barnstormer. From Dumbo you can see the roller coaster, so I get excited and want to ride. Since we have media clearance we get to go through the fast pass line, but we still have a little wait, no big deal.

Now we are in our seats going up the long climb then we come down, go around and the ride is over. The funny part is the kids in front of us are all "that was awesome" and my brother is all "can we go again" and I'm like "seriously?!?!" So for kids twelve and under best ride ever for others not so much, but it was still cute.

Finally we got a sneak peak of the Be Our Guest Restaurant. Sadly it was not open for eating, only tours. And it was beautiful exactly like the Beast's castle with stained glass window with different parts of Belle's and the Beast's story.
