What famous person who would you like to meet?

In college I interned at a local radio station and had a lot of fun and got to meet a handful of celebrities the 6 months I was there, mostly people from American Idol and Nick Lachey!Anyway...I like to think of my top favorite celebrities I would like to meet/interview  and what I would pick their brain. Don't ask why because well I do not have an answer for you. Here is my list.

1. Quentin Tarrentino - again, I was a film minor in college. I LOVE movies, especially his! To work with him on a film would be my dream. His films are in your face, funny, and always a nod to something and someone who helped make film what it is now.

2. Leonardo DiCaprio - again its all about movies with me. He is an AMAZING actor and ever since he little wild days of his 20's he now only chooses to do amazing movies. How does he chooses the films he does?

3. Tom Hanks - see a pattern here? his film career is astounding! is there a character he hasnt played?

4. Dr. Drew Pinksey - yes, from Love Line and Celebrity Rehab. People laugh and my fiance rolls his eyes at me when I say I like him and would love to meet him. Who didnt listen or watched Love Line. Yes, his newer show, Celebrity Rehab sounds stupid, but he is helping people. He understands that if you are a famous actor or musician you are usually very sensitive, have a crazy childhood, trauma and mental instability. They are drawn to drugs and alcohol because of their mental stability and not necessarily because they are famous and spoiled. He is a hard ass on these "celebrities" and actually helps a lot of people. So back off Dr. Drew because he is awesome :)

5. Now if I could choose someone who has passed I would choose Judy Garland. Man, that voice! She reminds me of my grandma :) They sounded similar when singing. No one sings like that anymore. She was beautiful and talented but also haunted by her craft. I would just want to sit and chat for hours!

snow-poclypse

I most likely spelled the title wrong but in this mood I really dont care. I have not posted much in the past couple days because well I have been out of town, enjoying some down time with my soon to be in-laws and my fiance's family and friends. Everything has been great until mother nature decided to turn Atlanta into an ice skating rink. I am now stuck in Pennslyvania and not sure excatly when I can get home :(

I am bad about getting home sick and man it has kicked in. Luckily we flew with the pups, so they are with us and a great friend turned out heat up a bit and dripped a facuet for us so our pipes dont freeze. And I am kind of bummed I didnt get to enjoy the real Ga snow, but we did have some fun time in the snow here is Pa.

This journey of waiting for a possible plane to take us home has been crazy. Our orignal flight out was today (Monday) at about 7 am, but we heard about the end of the world Atlanta snow storm, so we changed it for Sunday night. Well that was cancelled almost right after we booked it. We were rebooked for tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday). We are still unsure if we can even make it home on that flight. AND if we do make it to Atlanta, I am sure my car is a giant car popsicle at the airport. Plus we live on a hill that ices pretty quickly...

So, we shall see if I am still home sick tomorrow or hopefully back home.

This entry was all about venting and excuse my terrible spelling.

Day 10: Something I'm afraid of...

I have a lot of fears...what am I not afraid of is the question. I am a worry wort, I always think the worst. I can drive Michael crazy, because if he doesnt text me or call me back after a certain amount of time I start to panic and think he is dead on the side of the road.

Day 9: A picture of your friends!




Here is a photo of me and one of my best friends, Hillary. I oddly do not have a lot of pictures of myself with friends like I use to. I always forget my camera when we go places. I promise I will get better at that this year!

Day 8: A place I've traveled to

 One of my favorite trips was the cruise Michael and I took last May. We did a 7 day cruise out of Tampa. We went to Honduras, Belize and the Cayman Islands. We were also suppose to stop in Mexico, but it was at the beginning of the Swine Flu chaos so they gave us an extra day at sea. 

 I highly recommend Belize and Honduras. They are BEAUTIFUL countries. In Belize we did a tour of a Mayan cave and zip lined through the cave and jungle. It was really amazing and a blast. In Honduras we did a cultural tour. We saw traditional dancers, homes, cooking, and then took tiny canoes out in the Man Grove Tunnels. We took so many photos and had a blast.

30 Day Blog Challege: Day 7

Day 7: Favorite Movies

Wow...movies...i LOVE movies! Michael and I pretty much see a movie a week. Got to love the $6 movies at our local theater. I was a film minor in college and I love dramas.

Here are some of my favorites:

Casablanca - who can resist this love story! "Here's to looking at you kid." Gets me every time!



Citizen Kane - pretty typical I know, but I love Orson Welles. He was WAY before his time.





Wizard of Oz - my favorite movie as a kid. I grew up in Kansas so I always felt a special connection to this movie, I also did the play in middle school.


Here are some of my guilty pleasures.

The Notebook - still trying to get my fiance to watch it with me. If you are have a soul you will ball your eyes out.


My Girl - this is by far one of my favorite movies. I remember the day my dad passed to zone out and not think about it I went to watch TV and this movie was on. My mom suggested I do not watch this movie because it would prob make me sad, but oddly it felt like the right thing to watch.

Day 5: Your Sibling



photo.php.jpg

This is my little brother, I swear he is younger. He is pretty much the opposite of myself. He is about 6'3ish I think, I dont know, but tall. He is lanky, blonde, blue eyed and REALLY smart. He goes to Lee University in Tennessee on scholarships. He is an amazing student and really dedicated to what he is working on. 

The one thing we do have in common is we are both sometimes absent minded. He is 4 years younger then me and even though we dont get to see each other a lot, we are pretty close. He is a groomsmen in our upcoming wedding and he is really excited about it. 

He is the one who surprised us all. I do have another younger brother, but we are anything but close. Kevin is the youngest of 3 kids, had a hard time finding friends as a kid, was picked on a lot, was held back in first grade, could never find a sport or hobby where he felt like he belonged. Until he entered high school, joined a local church and started writing. He found his home and friends at the church and became a really good writer. He has been steadfast on his future ever sense. 

I am really proud of my "little" brother. I wish we were closer and saw each other more, but he does live in Tennessee after all. I was really glad to spend Christmas this year with just him and Michael.
