Well, besides the fact that my father should be ashamed of this, but I'm going to tell the story anyway! It's from a few years ago, before we built our new house. In December, usually, my father goes to California on a big golfing trip, and beforehand, he used to put the trees we got into the stand. The tree stands we always have are so awful; the ( Read more... )

I grew up in Massachusetts, and I'm still here, so most winters consisted of a lot of snow (sometimes feet and feet of snow!), sledding, snowmen and etc. I know we had one Christmas where we had an enormous snowstorm! It was always cold, but I love the cold, so I always waited all year for snow and the zero-degree temperatures! I love winter, so ( Read more... )

Inspiration is something I can thank my sixth-grade English teacher for. She was actually our science teacher; she was the science teacher to every grade in my elementary school, even though she actually had a degree in English and I had known her since I was five years old.  Through an odd occurrence of circumstances, starting with my actual ( Read more... )

As crazy as this sounds, I chose what I read by the book covers! I do, and I'm ashamed of it. You're never supposed to judge a book by its' cover, but I do. If the cover's crazy or colorful or just plain unique, I'll definitely pick up the book and take a look at it. I'm usually right. Bright-covered books are usually wonderful. But, besides the ( Read more... )

Besides the fact that it's over? I didn't have any plans, so it worked out according to plan. We had no trick-or-treaters at the new house, since we live in the middle of absolutely nowhere. I did schoolwork, truth be told, after watching a History Channel documentary on Halloween and started to watch Ghost Hunters Live. Of course, I taped on TCM ( ( Read more... )

I'm not really celebrating, truth be told! Maybe if I'm lucky, I won't be doing schoolwork and I'll get to watch a few movies from TCM, since they're showing all of the good horror movies on Wednesday. I haven't checked yet, but hopefully some of Dracula, since Bela Lugosi owned that character. I'm not going to any parties or anything like that, ( Read more... )

Titanic (I have a replica of the pink coat being made!), Moulin Rouge!, Chicago, Gone with the Wind, Emma, Tuck Everlasting (the white dress Winnie wears is gorgeous!), Phantom of the Opera, Miss Potter, Finding Neverland, Star Wars: Episode III, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Dinner at Eight, Lord of the Rings...and that's all I can think of right now!

Well, I know I barely post in this journal because of my real website...and yadda....yadda...yadda, but for anyone who knows me, among my many obsessions is Victor Garber AKA "the man who built the Titanic." I call him Thomas Andrews instead of Victor, but hey, that's just me. I was fooling around with PSP and decided to make some icons from the ( Read more... )
