Fan Sites

There are a lot of fan sites on the interwebs at the moment. There are also a lot of anti-fan sites. The one thing they all have in common is the amount of dedication that goes into hating and/or loving something. My two personal favorites are this one for Kate Middleton, and this one for Twilight.
You can't hate the Kate. I mean look at her.

But why not add captions to her pictures?

Twilight, on the other hand, was made to be hated. There is just too much wrong with it. Besides the storyline, there is also the writing itself. For example...

Check out these blogs. Whether you love the Royal Family, or you are soooo Team Edward, these blogs will make you laugh. If you don't like them, you take things too seriously. 

The Run Down

It has come to my attention that I have not posted here in some time. My apologies. I told my sister, Shanna (who also hasn't updated her blog), that I would do a stream-of-consciousness post, but sitting in an empty house does not make for great entertainment. Instead, I'll give you some facts about myself. Things you wouldn't automatically know about me unless I told you. Here we go:

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat made me want to be an actor. I think I was eight, maybe nine, when my family went to see this show (starring Donny Osmond) at the Chicago Theatre. I was so enthralled that I knew I wanted to sing and dance and run around a stage when I grew up. While I have never had vocal training, and only took one dance class in college, I did graduate with a degree in Theatre. I even moved to California last winter to see what I could get into. I moved back shortly after, coming to the realization that it was much more of childhood dream than a reality for me.

I make up stories in my head all the time. I have journals full of half-written stories and short scenes that I made up while watching people in public. My mind is permanently set in storytelling mode.

Along with stories, I sing to myself constantly. I like to make up songs about what's going on around me. I know I'll never win a Grammy, but I did make up a pretty fantastic song yesterday about my aunt's cocker spaniel to the tune of "Near the Cross."

My academic goal is to get a PhD in English. Having put my dreams of Broadway fame and fortune behind me, I have set my focus on my love for literature and my need to know everything. I've thought about being a teacher for a long time, and I think the idea of being a professor is fascinating. If you haven't guessed yet, I'm a nerd!


Other things about me:
I still watch teenager shows like Pretty Little Liars and Gossip Girl. (Also, Wizards of Waverly Place)
I am really good at Scattergories.
My favorite color is yellow, but I wear a lot of blue.
Not to sound too hipster, but I had Zooey Deschanel's bangs in elementary school.
