I Love the Same Sorts of Things I Did When I Was Four

Most Recently:



On of the most beautiful movies ever... possibly THE most beautiful movie.

I mean first of all there's Flynn Rider (Eugene Fizherbert)



Come on, if you are not absolutely in love with that you are not a woman. And if you're a man and say there's nothing special about Flynn, stop pretending. He is charming, cocky, sweet, and just plain sexy. There's no denying it. Nope. No. Nuh uh. Absolutely not. Eugene Fitzherbert is the man of everyone's dreams *tear*

Then there's the story. I personally never really knew the whole story of Rapunzel past the "let down your hair" bit. But in "Tangled" there was a single drop of sunlight that fell to Earth and grew into a golden flower. An old woman named Mother Gothel found it and discovered that it could restore her to a young and healthy body when she sang to it. On an island a few miles from where the flower was hidden there was a beautiful kingdom that was ruled by a king and his pregnant wife, who was sick and near death. The kingdom guards went on a search for this golden flower, which had not been properly hidden the last time Mother Gothel left it. They uprooted the flower and made a medicine from it that cured the queen. Soon after, she gave birth to a girl they named Rapunzel, who had golden hair, but Mother Gothel still wanted to posess the healing power. She snuck into the castle and sang to Rapunzel, whose hair glowed at her voice. Mother Gothel cut a strand of Rapunzel's hair to keep, but it turned brown and lost its power when it was cut. Therefore, Mother Gothel kidnapped Rapunzel and hid her away in a tower in the forest for almost eighteen years.

And beyond that you just have to see the movie because it is so wonderful. It stars Mandy Moore as Rapunzel and Zachary Levi as Flynn Rider, the music was by Alan Menken, and the animation is the most beautiful that I have ever seen. It's definitely worth the 10 bucks. Unless it's a different price somewhere else. Or it's gone everywhere... I definitely hope not, as I really want to see it for the fourth time... Please...

Why Hello There

I've recently diagnosed myself with a disease that I made up called Obsessive Obsession Disorder, or OOD for short, which brings me straight into my first obsession: Doctor Who.

Now, anyone who has watched Doctor Who on a regular basis since 2005 (or has at least seen a select few David Tennant episodes) knows of the Ood. They are a future slave race to humans and come from the Oodsphere. I personally believe that they are some of the most adorable aliens in existance, at least when they aren't being controlled by some evil, external force. Such as Satan, for instance.



But that's beside the point. I started watching Doctor Who with Matt Smith from the other room when my dad was watching in the spring, but I had no idea what was going on. Therefore when I saw Doctor Who reruns listed on BBC America and decided to watch it, I was wondering where the Doctor was and why the skinny man in the suit was acting like he was in charge. Easy enough mistake to make. Later my dad decided that I was just enough of a geek to appreciate Doctor Who and he filled me in on regeneration, the TARDIS, etc. etc.

So in July I bought the first four David Tennant episodes off of itunes for entertainment on a 10 hour long busride to Indiana. I can never sleep on busses, trains, planes, cars, or anything that moves. So I had to work very hard at four in the morning not to wake 30 people up when I was watching Christmas Invasion and the Doctor stepped out of the Tardis and spoke to Rose.

The Doctor: First things first; how do I look?
Rose: Different
The Doctor: Good different or bad different?
Rose: Just... Different.
The Doctor: Am I... Ginger?

Seriously, I was tired. I was laughing so hard people thought I was having a seizure or something, not that they really cared.

Of course, it all started again moments later.

Sycorax Leader: I DEMAND TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!
The Doctor: I DON'T KNOW!!!

Sorry for boring you with my many memorized Doctor Who quotes. I generally save that pleasure for my friends.

Anyway, I actually have many loves, most of them magical, even if there is some sort of made up scientific explanation for them, and I look forward to completely driving many poor people who stumble upon this blog mad.
