Link, Lion King, Mountain Dew and Fuzzy Socks

Ok, so I told everyone my next blog was going to be about Backstreet Boys vs. NSYNC. Well it’s not. This may seem stupid but I’m going to blog about the things I love and that make me, well, ME! I’m not going to name all of it and I’m only going to off shoot on a few things. If you don’t read all of it I won’t be offended. Heck! IDK if that many people even read this in the first place unless it’s my friends and I tell them OR I read it to them (Yes I do that). Plus I put pictures in this time! So without further ado…

Some things I LOVE!

(In no particular order)

• My Friends and Family- People are worth more to me than anything else. I could lose everything but as long as I have people I’m still happy. When I lose a friend I get so depressed and can’t stand it.
• My Charm Necklace- It takes a lot for a person’s charm to be placed by my heart and some charms are even taken off. I’m happy to say I now have 3 charms representing 3ish people/groups.
• Ruffles Chips
• Cheez-it’s
• Music- I’m a Musicholic! I love music, all genres. I have so much on my computer and it’s still not enough.
• Movies- Many different kinds.
• Books
• Singing- I’ve been told I can’t sing well and kinda believe it, but that never stops me. Singing makes me happy wither I’m just bursting out in song alone or in front of friends.
• Dancing- I can dance wellish. I rarely show people me dancing but I love it none the less. I usually will dance alone in my room blasting music. I probably just look idiotic when I dance but oh well.
• Pajama Pants
• Cookie Monster

• Tank Tops
• Long Sleeve Shirts
• Jackets
• Art
• Monkeys
• Penguins

• Koala Bears

• Acting
• Zelda Games- I have the new one and it’s pretty good, except Link’s right handed which is WRONG!

• 
  
• Bon Jovi- My Favorite artist. My Favorite song of ALL time is Livin’ on a Prayer.
• Writing Music- I write lyrics for songs but they usually are horrible and just sit in notebooks in boxes at my parents’ house. Some are a little better than others but they’re not sharing worthy. I sometimes have tunes in my head when I write them but I never do anything with them. I still love writing them.
• Pirates!- I’m a Pirate fanatic! I love the history. Just a wired perk that I have and I don’t go around all the time sharing my knowledge but when I get to I love it. (Black Bart Roberts AKA black Beard Sketch Below)

• Coloring- Yes. I love to color. I have 3 big coloring page books in my apartment right now with a 96 set of crayons and a 120 set both with sharpeners. Childish? I don’t think so. Those kids couldn’t handle that many crayons!
• Lion King

• Playing the Piano- I was really good when I was younger then I stopped playing for a while. I never learned how to read music so now I'm teaching myself. I'm getting better and I can't wait to play like I did. I also play the Clarinet. I always wanted to go onto Sax after but I kinda stopped playing because I hated my band teacher and never did band again. I'm trying to teach myself how to play the guitar now but it's hard. :P 
• Quest for Camelot
• Harry Potter
• Star Wars

• Transformers- Ok, not the new movies. The movies are a ok take on the awesome cartoons but they are nowhere close to as good as my favorite childhood show! My favorite is Iornhide. I have an OLD Iornhide transformer figuring that really transforms!  
• Iornhide

• Taking Pictures- I want to Minor in Photography
• Mulan
• Hercules- Yes I like the Disney Movie. It’s a good story even though it’s SO inaccurate.
• Greek Mythology
• Rain- Warm, Summer, Smell good rain is my Favorite EVER!
• Cookies
• Stuffed Animals- They have to be cute ;D
• My Class Ring- It’s on my finger every day
• My Dog- I miss Cole :’( (not a picture of my real dog but same breed- Miniature Schnauzer)

• Backstreet Boys
• Fall
• My Car
• My Pet Fish Mary Elizabeth- Who is now living at my Best Friends’ house since It’s a 4 hour car dive away and I don’t think she’d live through the drive.
• My Computer
• My Zune
• My College
• Mountain Dew

• Fun Adventures
• Surprising My Friends- I love doing Ninja stuff for my friends and making them smile.
• Baking
• Fuzzy Socks
• Toe Socks- I have some fuzzy, toe socks with penguins on them!!!!
• Long Hair- And if you know me you KNOW how long my hair is.

I should stop here before this gets too boring for you all! Thanks for Reading. And don’t worry. I’m still going to do the Backstreet Boys vs. NSYNC blog, I just don’t know how long it will be.Have a most glorious day everyone!!!!

Classifying People

Classifying People

I’ve noticed that there are about 4 different type of people in the world:

The people who give without wanting anything in return. They’re the ones who end up doing so much for others because they enjoy it and want other people to be happy. It seems that their purpose in life is making others happy. They want everyone around them happy and then they can be happy as well. They are used quite a bit and end up somewhat depressed sometime in their life. Let’s call these people Lovers.

The people who take advantage of the lovers. They use them for all their worth. These people are manipulative and greedy. They only care about themselves and think the world revolves around them. They are controlling and need to have everything that happens to them under their control. They are also judgmental and look down on others. For the sake of this Blog we shall call them Narcissists.

The people who are just “normal.” These people will use the lovers when needed and just take what they give. These people will do things for others and may say it’s out of the goodness of their heart and don’t want anything in return but in reality they want something weather it is appreciation or good luck or anything else you can think of. These people will also manipulate others but not as much as a narcissist would. These people end up going with the flow but also like to know what’s going on in their lives so they can control it to an extent. They do what is needed of them and usually nothing more. They care about others but also care about themselves more and end up being judgmental but not to the extent of the Narcissist. They are good people but have hidden darkness in their lives and their mind. Let’s call these people Fred.

The people who really truly don’t care at all. These people usually just go with the flow. They don’t care what happens to them and what they end up doing. They want people to make decisions for them because they can’t think for themselves. These people will sometimes bounce back and forth between the other 3 but will usually stay a Robot.

Did you feel like you just read a Psychology theory? Sorry. I’m a psych major and this is the way I think. Isn’t that what I said this blog is kinda about? My view on the world? If you get offended sorry. This is just me. Everyone sees the world different.

Anyways, back to my psychological theory of people. I believe people can fluctuate throughout the different classifications but have a main one they usually fall under. I’ve noticed most people fall under the Fred category.

You: “Why did you call it “Fred?” I understand the others but why that one?”

Me: “Very good question! I called it Fred because usually when people think of naming some random object they want to call it Bob or Fred. This is just a weird thing that people do. I did it because It’s used in society a lot and it seems to be the norm which Fred is the norm of classifications.”

Confused? Ok. Let me explain in a better way. When people say “What should I name this?” usually people think of the names Bob or Fred. I have no idea why but they do. The Fred classification is actually the classification most of the population (mainly the population/societies that I have been around to observe) fall under. Most people will fall under this classification and act the way described.

Again this is only what I think and what I have observed. This is how I see the world. None of this is actual concrete, psychologically proven fact. You may think I’m messed up and weird but oh well.

Anyways. Let’s go a little more in depth and I can give examples for each classification.

Lovers:

The names seems to speak for itself. These are the people who help others at any cost. These people seem to be very rare. These aren’t the people at Christmas giving away money or toys. Ok, they probably do but just because you see someone do that doesn’t mean they’re a lover. Around Christmas or in a time of crises the Fred’s will step up and be charitable but being a lover goes deeper then charity. Lovers are the ones who will do anything for a friend. They like to show people how much they care about them and will never think twice about it. They don’t want anything in return. These people will usually end up being used by others because the other classifications see the lovers as weak as if trying to buy friendship and love. That’s not the case. When a lover feels used it defeats the purpose of their kindness and love and the lover usually feels like they’ve lost everything. This isn’t hypocritical of them. These lovers feed off other people and friends. When their deeds are taken advantage of their purpose is corrupted and they end up having no more purpose and become depressed. On rare occasions the lover will never have to be used but more then not they will end up sad and depressed.

 Narcissists:

I hope everyone here knows what a narcissist is. If not I’m going to be SO kind and define it from Dictionary.com:  nar·cis·sist [nahr-suh-si st] noun. 1. A person who is overly self-involved, and often vain and selfish. 2. Psychoanalysis- a person who suffers from narcissism, deriving erotic gratification from admiration of his or her own physical or mental attributes. There you have it! Hope you now see the connection in the classification and the name. These people are the ones that everyone usually hates (sadly) and have somewhat of a lonely life. These people only care about themselves and think everyone should adore them and they should be treated like gods. Now these aren’t the people who mess around and act this way. There’s a huge difference between messing around and actually falling under the narcissist category.

You: "How can you tell if they're joking or not? I don't think there's really a difference."

Me: "No there's a difference. I know people who fall under the narcissist classification and people who just mess around in that way. I can tell because the people who mess around have more traits of another classification and don't expect everyone just to love them."

Ya. that's right. The narcissist classification is a touchy one and it's hard to place people in. If people fall under this classification you'll know. They are hands down an example of the definition given.

Fred's:

These are most of the population (that I've witnessed). These people use others (unintentionally) to make their life good. The roll is also reversed. They are used by others as well for the same reason. The Fred's seem to function as a corrupt, well oiled machine. These people are just the norm of society. They take and give that it balances out. The Fred's will sometimes have a few other traits of a Lover of a Narcissist but will mainly stay in their own classification. They will sometimes seem like they have traits of a Robot, but that may just be because they're lazy which is not what a Robot is.

Robots:

These people aren't the couch potatoes that generally people think of. These people do get out and do things but it takes a lot of effort on others. These people seem to not care about most things and just let life happen around them. they will usually do the bare minimum for life to happen. These people will usually fluctuate between all four classifications on occasions but will still not care about what happens and will do only what is necessary for happiness. They will mainly stick with the Robot traits. 

So you're probably wondering where I fall. Well I'm not going to tell you! HA! I think I have an idea where I am but I'm not 100% sure. I can't observe my own behavior so maybe one day I'll ask someone to tell me. As you've probably noticed there's perks to each classification as well as downfalls. What can I say?! We're all humans and we all suck. I will admit that I've used this classification in my own life. I've classified my friends. Yes I do. What can I say? I'm a Psych Major! I observe my friends behavior to understand them more and their personality style. I'll even say things sometimes or set up situations just to see how they react. i think a lot of people do this but I'm just aware of it and open about it (I tend to be very blunt). We all want to know who is like us and who is different and how to behave around people and how to handle them. I'm glad that my friends classifications are nothing to worry about. I now just know how they function (and no I will not tell you where you fall). 

Again, this is NOT a tested theory. This is my mind working and how I see the world and people. Now try and guess your classification and your friends. ;D

The Lion King

When I was little, my favorite movie was probably The Lion King. I watched that movie at least once or twice a day. My older siblings to this day can recite the movie by heart and my older sister still won’t watch the movie. I ruined it for them, Oops. Oh well. I still love the movie. It one of the best Disney movies plus the sequel is a good sequel, not one of those crappy sequels where they really shouldn’t have bothered to do it.

Lion King makes me happen even when I’m depressed. 

See? Me Happy!

You: "Why do we care if you're happy?"

Me: "Caus you should! I make all the good things happen in people's life!"

Anywho...

Me and my friends make up dances to different song sometimes just for fun. We decided to have a competition with some other friends who liked to dance with Disney songs. My group chose Lion King (I SO didn’t influence the decision. ;D ). I still remember all the steps to the songs. For “I Just Can’t Wait To Be King” I was young samba. My hair was in high pigtails and I got to run around the stage like a little kid. I had so much fun with it! My Favorite part in the routine was when my friend who played Zazu pretended to cut off my pigtail when he sang “I’ve never seen a King or beast with quite so little hair” because, if you know me, I have super long hair (do you see the ironicness of it?).

I love how the story of The Lion King is based off of Hamlet. Did you realize that most Disney movies are based on other stories? Most of the princess movies come from the Grim Brothers Fairy Tales? Hercules, (spelled Heracles in the real Greek myth) of course, based off of the Greek God.

Speaking of Greek Mythology, I saw Immortals last Friday. It was good but 300 is MUCH better. There was a ton of blood, which is usually a good thing, but there was this scene with this tongue and *shutter*, that was just disturbing. Was good and I was satisfied.

Back to The Lion King. Me and my friends got bored Sunday night (last night) and decided to watch it (it’s been a SUPER slow past few weeks for us. :P ). I was talking along with the characters WHOLE movie, singing every song and even dancing some of my dances. I must say, next to Quest for Camelot and a few others, The Lion King has to be one of my Favorite movies!

Rebuttal

So my friend put up a blog post telling the world his top 10 reasons why being a man is better than being a woman. I feel like I should rebuttal his post with my own. So here you are. “The Rebuttal” to “10 Reasons I’m Glad I’m Not A Woman.” 

#10- Man Movies are Better

Response- Everyone loves a sappy love story

I’ll admit. I’m not that into chick flicks. I love a bloody battle and a scene where everything is blown up.  My favorite movies are considered guy movies! Iornman, X-Men, 300, Transformers, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Green Lantern, Star Wars, Zombieland, Clash of the Titans, Sherlock Holmes, Gladiator, Casino Royale, Ect. But a good chick flick is also nice! The Proposal for example, AMAZING! I loved it! Plus it has Ryan Reynolds which just makes me happy. Mmmm, Ryan Reynolds! And what about Leap Year! That was super good too! Mean Girls, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Made of Honor, 27 Dresses, Just Go With It, Hitch, No Strings Attached, Friends With Benefits, Etc. Yes. Chick flicks and I’ve seen them all. PLUS I know A LOT of guys who have seen most of these and loved them. No they were not gay. They probably are some of the most Manly Men I know and they’ve seen at least two or three of these. What do you say to that? Movies are just amazing. Everyone has different tastes. But I’d still like to watch suspenseful movies. I guess he has a good point with #10.

#9- I Don’t Have to Date Men                                                                  

Response- But Guys are HOT!

Ok. I’ll admit. Guys do suck sometimes. My best friends are guys and I mostly hang with guys instead of girls and sometimes they can be very, douchebaggy. Ok, a lot of the time I’ll admit. BUT, at least I don’t have to date a girl! Girls are SO high maintenance, I’ll admit it, and they’re catty and bitchy (excuse my language). I love telling people how amazing they are but some girls (me not included) need to be told they’re amazing, and special, and a princess, 24/7! It has to be tiring! I will admit. I am always worried about my butt being looked at while I walk down a hall. I was told just a few months ago I have a nice one and went all through high school with guys checking it out all the time as I walked and now I’m a bit paranoid! Plus when a guy is looking at my chest I want to smack them! They’re just stupid lumps of fat on my chest! Why do you like them so much?!  I HATE them! I have a whole rant about this but I’m not putting it up on this. Only a few people have heard this and I guess it’s hilarious! But 1, it needs to be told in person and 2, only certain GIRLS get to hear it. Sorry! Oh, and I do have a butt rant too. ;) Guys are less maintenance (sometimes) and much more easy going. I’m SO happy I don’t have to date a catty chick!

#8- I Can Pee Standing Up

Response- Why Did You Go There?!

I wouldn’t want to pee standing up! Plus I think it would suck! If a guy goes into the bathroom and goes into a stall all the other guys know what they’re doing; taking a dump. I don’t want everyone knowing if I’m going #1 or #2! I mean SERIOUSLY! Also, going around with a stick between your legs would get SO annoying! I don’t even want to think about it! Ok.. NEXT! I’m SO getting off this!

#7- Shoes

Response- AH! Shoes!

I hate having so many pairs of shoes plus having to match your shoes to your dress. I HATE high heels. High heels were made by men so while a chick walks her butt does some sort of nice motion guys like (I actually found this out by listening into my guy friends conversations). COME ON! I hate how society now wants me to wear heels when I dress up. I need to wear a dress today for a presentation later on. I have to wear dress shoes too, AKA heels. THEY HURT! I have walked all across campus today and my presentation’s still not for another 45 minutes! I agree with this one! I blame men for this torture! Did you know that men were the first to wear heels and make up.

You: “NO! you’re lying.”

Me:” NO I’M NOT! Now pay attention! “

Yes it’s true. I’ve done my research. I swear the only reason we do it now is caus long ago guys got tired of it and said “my wife’s being a bitch to me today. I’m going to make her wear these uncomfortable shoes and paint her face so I don’t have to see the ugliness of it!” Ok ok, maybe it wasn’t like that but IDK how else I got stuck doing this! 

#6- I don’t Have to Wear A Shirt

Response- Neither do I!

Ya I can’t really walk around with nothing on up there but hey! It’s a free world in my room. Ok, I’ve never had the urge just to go around topless. I LOVE tank tops and wear them ALL the time. NO it’s not caus I’m a slut, it’s just caus I feel comfortable in them. I hate bra’s I’ll admit and wish I didn’t have to wear them. But alas I do. Stupid society telling me I have to be uncomfortable all day with a wire poking into my side! GRR! When I get home I’m getting out of this dress and putting on a tank top! HA! 

#5- One Man Bathroom Trips

Response- Oh What You Don’t Know What We Do When We Go Together

Did you ever think the reason we go together is to talk about something YOU’RE not supposed to hear? Maybe we’re helping each other fix something like a dress. We possibly may be fixing our hair and makeup. And MAYBE we just need to all get a break from you or save our friend from someone. There are many possibilities. I am a big girl and go to the bathroom by myself… when I’m actually going that is. ;) If I ever go with someone else there’s a different reason. 

#4- Men Don’t have to Shave

Response- I Do It Caus I Want To

I HATE stubble on my legs. It bugs me and it itches! Plus I love when my legs are smooth. I know girls who don’t shave unless they’re showing their legs. True and it’s smart. I just do it all the time caus I hate the itchiness and love the smoothness. Enough said.

#3- No Boobs

Response- Good point

Like I said. I have a boob rant. NO I’m not putting it up

You: “AH! Come on! I want to hear it! I’ve heard it’s Hilarious!”

Me:  “I SAID NO! And only certain people get to hear it!”

Just know I hate them and they’re a bother. He has a good point on this one.

#2- No PMS

Response- Are You Mentally Ready For This?

ONLY SOME GIRLS ARE LIKE WEARWOLVES DURING THEIR PERIOD!!! I’m not! :D YAY! I’ve been told I’m totally normal. Maybe this is because I’m crazy and weird all the time and I crave random things every single day (guys do too. Yes I know this). Sweet. No one knows when I’m on! I love that. Yes some girls are monsters (Oh man, I know this one girl and during hers… *shutter*) and it sucks. Luckily I’m not one of them! People, Guys, have tried to guess mine and they’ve been WRONG! Hahaha! Guys PMS daily! It’s been proven! We just don’t notice it that much because we’re used to their random outbursts and weird moods. Now back off the PMS thing! I mean really!

#1- I Can’t Give Birth

Response- Lucky Bastards!

I’ll admit. I’m not looking forward to it. I do want kids, don’t get me wrong but I’m so not looking forward to the pain and the other crap. But being pregnant may have its up’s! I will have somewhere to put my soda when I’m lying on the couch. I do get to eat ice cream non-stop without people criticizing me. I…. Ok, I can’t think of anything else…

So all in all, I use to always wish I was a guy. I used to hate the color pink (still do a bit but doesn’t bother me as much anymore), used to steal my brothers toys caus they were cooler than mine, etc. I always thought I should’ve been born a guy. I’m kinda starting to like being a girl. I never knew how nice it was for a guy to open the door for you when you get into the car! My friends do it a lot and it does make me happy even though I act like it bugs me (oh shoot… hope they don’t read this and find out my secret). I do like girls nights (oh the stuff we talk about) and more. But all in all… He was right. Guys have it WAY better than girls. There I said it. Now you can come and beat me up if you feel like it. I’m jealous of guys but I’m ok being a girl. Wait, a Woman. Yes, sounds more powerful! Have a fantastic day! :D

I’d suggest reading his as well. Just so you can get both points of view.

“10 Reasons I’m Glad I’m Not a Woman” By Mattsmistake

http://mattsmistake.blogspot.com/2011/11/10-reasons-im-glad-im-not-woman_09.html

What about Thanksgiving?

So I feel like I should explain something. I’m not talking about God in these posts, well I might, but not the God your thinking of. “God” and “Oreo’s” are inside jokes and probably will never be anything mentioned about either in this blog. Just know that I know God. He is in hiding on earth and he is my friend. Ya. I’m friends with God and even his personal assistant/secretary. Don’t mess with me. Oreo’s are just how babies are made. Don’t ask.

Now down to business. My absolute biggest pet peeve is doing anything Christmas before Thanksgiving or even worse, Halloween. That is a BIG NO NO! I can’t stand people putting up Christmas decorations or playing Christmas music before Thanksgiving! It’s not right! It’s like people are forgetting one of the most wonderful holidays all about great food!

My Favorite holidays, in order, are Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Did you notice that it’s in sequence? That’s not on purpose but it’s amazing! As soon as October hits I’m super happy until December 26^th… besides this year. So last Sunday, October 30^th, I was told that my dorm was going to be shut down and I had three days to figure out a new living situation and one week to move. My favorite holiday was ruined. The next day, October 31^st, Halloween, I was depressed and it didn’t even feel like my favorite holiday. Wonderful right?

You: “You at least still have Thanksgiving and Christmas!”

Me: “Wrong. I don’t. I was just about to get to that.”

Yes. You read that right. I don’t get a Thanksgiving or Christmas this year.

You: “OMG! That’s so sad. Why?!”

Me: “I’m getting to it! Stop interrupting me!!!”

Anyways, I just got a new job and it requires me to work through the holidays. Usually not a big problem. I had to work through it last year but there’s one big difference now. I live three hours away from my home town and family. So this year while everyone goes home to eat nummy food and open presents, I’m going to be in my very empty apartment doing nothing unless I have work. Doesn’t sound too bad right? WRONG! None of my friends are going to be here and I’m going to eat soup for Thanksgiving dinner and wake up on Christmas all alone and wishing I was at my home, in new PJ’s eating scones and watching my family opening presents as I open mine and then sleeping the rest of the day.  Wow writing this is making me realize the reality and it’s depressing me. Drat!

Some of you may think that I may be lucky caus I don’t have to deal with all that family stuff. Guys, stop hating on your family! I love my family. Sometimes I get annoyed with them but I LOVE Thanksgiving just because of the fact I get to spend time with my family. I love going to my grandma’s house and seeing my older brothers and their wives and kids. I love messing with my younger brother and watching stupid movies while the turkey cooks. I love how me and my older brothers will get yelled at by my mom because we get into the Veggies before dinner (which I don’t get. We’re hungry and eating vegetables. Why is that wrong mom?!), talking to my older sister on the phone because she’s states away from us, playing dolls with my nieces, etc. I love all of it and this year I have to miss it!

Christmas is a great time to spend with family too! I go to my grandma’s and we make a TON of homemade candy. I go to my Aunt’s house Christmas Eve for a dinner with family (I’ll admit I never like going and neither does my dad or younger brother but we still go caus it doesn’t feel right without going) and then get home and my parents give me a new pair of PJ’s which I LOVE! This year I’m going to miss eating scones Christmas morning and after opening presents sleeping for the rest of the day. Dang. This sucks!I get none of my holidays. What a depressing year.

So why do you guys care? Wasn’t I talking about my pet peeve? Yes I was. And then I went on a tangent. But back to my pet peeve. Don’t forget about the other holidays just because you want presents or are stressed caus you need to get presents. If we keep moving Christmas up months then it’ll be Christmas all year then it’ll lose its meaning! Wait until Black Friday to start playing Christmas music and putting up the tree.

Enjoy being with your family on Thanksgiving. Don’t rush things! Be happy that you get to spend time with your family and be glad you have a holiday. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

P.S I’ll warn you now; don’t play Christmas music around me before Black Friday.

P.S.S I love you Kait! ;) (I promised you I’d mention your awesome self!)
