Dreamboat

So the other day, while at work, I began daydreaming about some adorable boy coming up to the counter and having a cute, innocent, and dorky exchange of flirtatious conversation.
Which led me to imagine what exactly this adorable boy would look like.
Which then led me to imagine
what is my dream guy.
Now, I certainly find a lot of men attractive.
Such as him, him and especially him (don't judge)
But I think, after some thought, I have determined my ideal man:
A combination of Brendon Urie




































Both super cute, funny and talented.
Brendon Urie has an amazing voice, and is dorky yet sexy and writes some great, quirky songs. (here and here)
and Charlie(issocoollike) is nerdy, clever and witty and writes some great, catchy songs. (here and here) ((oh yeah, and he's british.))
Le sigh, le swoon.
If only....

Things that make me smile

There are many.
But for today, they are the following:

1. A rather hilarious and silly animation and song about the epic creature that is the Narwhal.

2. One of my favourite Eddie Izzard-isms, "Covered in beees!!"

3. A cute song by a cute boy. ^_^

4. The most beautiful rendition of this song I have heard. I have listened to this song on repeat countless times. It is the perfect song to listen to when feeling low. It's lovely, it makes you cry but most of all it makes you smile.

Today was not a good day.
And these are the things I've been listening to, watching, and thinking about to get me through it.
Especially that last one...

Money makes the world go around

Good evening blog friends.
I've had a long day at work, and honestly I have no interest in anything right now besides my bed.
I just want to curl up in my blankets all cozy and lovely and sleep forever.
On the bright side, I got my first pay check from my new job today!
Wooo! Mooonnnaaayyy!!
It's going straight into my fund for New York.
Speaking of which, by next week my
accommodations and my flights will be booked.
I can't wait.
It's been so hard to believe that it's actually happening, since things have been so hectic lately, financially.
It really seemed like we weren't going to make it.
But now it's nearly solidified and I'm really beginning to get excited.
This is an odd entry... I don't know why, I don't know what I'm talking about... DEEERRRRGGGG.
I just kind of wanted to make a post since I haven't in several days.
Here, have a pretty.

Rejection hurts the most from someone you admire.

I probably wouldn't feel quite so bad right now if it weren't for the fact that I respect and admire my rejector so much.
Now I just feel hurt and resentful towards him, and I didn't want that.
I'm trying to comfort myself with the fact that he probably chose people closest to the location, with easy access to the venue.
But it's tough.
I mean, with the one girl who managed to make it to the top four being so terrible, it really makes me feel as though I must've been really crap if she's supposedly better than me.
But I suppose she only got in because she's such a hardcore, die hard fan.
But I am too.
I really thought I stood a chance, or at least deserved an honourable mention.
And I'm trying to find the lesson to be learned here, but I'm not seeing it.
Maybe it's that I'm not good enough, or that no matter how much passion or effort I put in, I don't deserve to win.
But I already have all those nasty, negative thoughts in my head, I don't need them reinforced like this.
I didn't need to be crushed and devastated, I could've skipped that part, thank you very much.

Alice In Wonderland review

I just went and saw a pre-screening of Alice In Wonderland.
I won't get too spoilery, considering it's not officially released until friday, but I will say this...
It was perfectly marvelous.

I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it.
I even liked the 3D, and I'm usually not a fan.
But it was great, really well done.
I honestly felt like when things were flying out at me in 3D,
I wanted to dodge out of the way, just on instinct.
And the effects were wonderfully neat and interesting.
The film had a... MirrorMask-esque feel to me,
and I wanted it to end like MirrorMask,
but of course it didn't.
At first I didn't like the Cheshire Cat,
well, no, not so much that I "didn't like him"
but more or less that I was afraid I wouldn't like him.
But he really grew on me and by the end, he was easily a favourite.
The relationship between Alice and Hatter was splendid,
I really enjoyed that.
And I loved Johnny's portrayal of the Hatter,
no matter what anyone else says.
The queens were great in their exaggeration.
The Tweedles were hilarious, as expected.
And all the animals and creatures were delightful as well.
The Caterpillar was played by Alan Rickman,
a casting choice I don't exactly agree with,
but was decent none the less.
Alice's costumes were stunning.
The jacket she wore at the end of the film was just too gorgeous,
I wanted to snatch it right off the screen.

All in all, a spectacular show.
I laughed, I cried, I felt I had gone mad.
And here's a secret... "the best people in the world are."

Confidence:Shattered.

I hate when you feel so sure about something, so positive, so confident...
And then all of a sudden, all of that disappears and you realize you never really stood a chance to begin with.
Please, Universe, prove me wrong.
