I got an e-mail today from Disney. It is less than 2 weeks now that I pack up my Beetle (Starr) for the first time and move to Lake Buena Vista and become a Disney intern. I am so excited for this opportunity, and yet I am sad to leave my family and friends. But I know God is going to use this opportunity to glorify His name, and He is going to use me to do it!!

Disney Here I Come!!

HP

So yeah  am a HP (Harry Potter) nerd. I was super bored today I decided to check out my old stomping grounds via the web. I remember an old HP site called the TheLeakyCauldron.org, during my strool down memory lane I stubled accross this video and its follow up.







They are hilarious, well at least to those of us that get the inside lingo.

My own "New Moon"

I have been for the past 5 or so months devouring the Twilight book series, several times. I am on my 3rd round of reading all the books, and this time StacIE is reading them with me. Every time I start reading one of the books I fear that they will consume me, my mind, my time, my life, my emotions. Books are a powerful thing, but these book are unlike anything I have ever read. 

When I read Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings I became so obsessed with the story and world that these books tell about that I go beyond the books for a big and better view of their world. For Pete's sakes I learned Quenya, which is a Tolkien created language, and I played RPG's in a community forum. 

But Twilight is something completely different, its like a drug. I am waiting for IE to finish Eclipse(book #3) so we can read the 4th and final book, Breaking Dawn. I am itching to pick it up again for the 2nd time, but I don't want to devour it like I have with all the other books. I have never been this way with a book, especially a series. I read all the HP books once, and then once again before each movie comes out, and LOTR I have only read once. 

They shouldn't have group meeting to talk about Twilight and get excited, they should have support meetings about how its all with think about, its what we breathe for, and how we would go to the ends of the earth in all hopes that its real. I am not alone, so don't think I am crazy. I have met others like me, and my cousin plans on going to Seattle during the summer, and then taking a side trip to Forks (the place where the story is set). And I am jealous, even though time and time again I remind myself not to get caught up in the story, its not real, people don't really act like that.

 Men aren't that romantic, but then there is apart of me that says what if. God knows the deepest desires of my heart, won't he send me my Adam in and Edward wrapped package?? Not the Vampire shaped package, but the beautiful and completely devoted to loving me package??

Way to go Stephenie Myers, you made finding the true love bar ridiculously high, and no, I am not lowering it for mere mortals. They will just have to rise to the occasion, I think I'm worth it.

Dear Mr Ripley,

Wow... thats all I can say.

Needle Sized Art Very incredible story! Not only is this mans art cool but he got a ton of cash for it!

Dorms at Disney

Well I just signed up for my Roomate Matching/Notification. Which means that while I am living in the Vista View apartments the computer is going to match me up with someone that has my similar qualities in:

Age

Gender

Arrival Date

Now I know Disney is amazing, but I think there should be more things that my roommate and I should have in common then age, sex, and arrival date. But I know Disney knows best.

Twilight the movie

I want to start this post by saying, Yes I am a huge Twilight fan, yes I have read all the books.

So with saying that, I was deeply disappointed in Twilight the movie.
Before you other fans start throwing stones, I want to giving my opinion of the movie.
While sitting in an almost empty, dark theater I felt awkward the entire time while watching the movie, because the scenes and acting through out the movie was awkward. Some of the actors acted like they had performed so many times a certain scene that it was no longer natural. As some of the scenes were not consistent with themes in the book.

Like seriously, fans would Edward take Bella on top of a high tree while she is human?? *SPOILER* He was afraid to let her take on a mountain lion when she was a vampire because of old habits of always trying to protect her from everything.

Santa

For this Christmas Season heres a few thoughts to think about...

THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE:

1) You believe in Santa Claus.

2) You don't believe in Santa Claus.

3) You are Santa Claus.

4) You look like Santa Claus
