A boy with a bow tie is an adorable boy.

I know he’s a total whackjob but I have never been more attracted to him. Except in Days of Thunder, maybe. Also, I hate musicals so I doubt I’ll go and watch Julianne whatsherface ruin classic rock songs but still …. well done, Tom Cruise, well done.
Puberty, you did it again. You transformed a weird kid into a gorgeous young man. Well done.
Oh my, Rafael.
Hubba, hubba.
When did you get so scrumptious, Neville Longbottom?
I would have married you in the eighties, you gorgeous man.
Sadly, I was only a toddler then.
I was just thinking today about all the things I’m going to want when I become an adult and I’ve compiled a rough draft for all of my friends to check out. Mind you, this is off the top of my head. I’m sure I’ll add things later on. Because I want a lot.
:].
The first thing I’m going to go through is what I want in my house.
I want a car bed. I’m going to have it specially made so it’s the size of a real car. And it will be green. And maybe a Lamborghini. Or an Aston Martin.
And I want a clap-on disco ball above it.
I want an arcade in my basement - old school games a must. But I also want that Jurassic Park game where you’re like inside a jeep or something. Yeahhh. That one.
I also want a refrigerator that is three times the size of a normal one. And two ovens. Because, I like food. And I will be keeping lots of it on hand at all times because my cravings are so random.
I’m going to have two Newfoundland dogs named Obi-Wan and Han Solo.
I’m also going to have a pet monkey, spider monkey, and his name is going to be Mr Fiddlestein.
I need a movie theater in my house, due to my adoration of film. Adoration? More like obsession. But that’s where I’ll house my video gaming systems too. Halo on a big screen? Yes, please!
I would like a moat around my house with a drawbridge that creaks. There will be pajama sharks in it. But don’t worry - they just dance. Look it up, it’s cute.
I need an art studio so I can showcase my amazing coloring skills. My ability to stay inside the lines must be shown to the world/all of my friends.
There should be a xylophone in my entry way. Just because.
I should probably have a swimming pool since it’s Ohio and it’s 70 degrees in November. I’d get loads of use out of it. But there definitely needs to be a slide, kind of concealed in rocks like Gene Simmons has [ does anyone else LOVE his son on Family Jewels?! ]
I need a wild animal habitat back there too. Mr Fiddlestein needs some friends from the Amazon.
I need one room that you literally fall into. And it needs to be one large mattress - wall to wall - for the ultimate slumber party/pillow fight. And fort building. DEFINITELY fort building.
I might also enjoy a ball pit in a hidden area of my house. I kind of want it to be a mystery mansion - where bookshelves turn you around into new rooms and you slip and fall down a slope into a ball pit, or marshmallow fluff.
I also need a stage somewhere so I can force my musical friends to play shows at my house. I’ll pay you in cupcakes, dudes.
I want a butler. His names will be Jeeves. If it isn’t to begin with, he will answer to it within my house gosh darn it! Along with his tuxedo, he must also wear a cape.
I want a Vespa. For real. Teal, please.
I want a robot as my security guard, along with the moat it will keep me safe. And I’ll name him Circuit. Call him Cir. HAH.
I want to work at a Museum of Natural History.
I want to have kiddies so I can be immature and hang out with them all the time.
I want designated movie nights.
I want to see new places, meet new people.
I think that’s all I’ve got for now. Maybe I’ll post W after finals next week. I kind of forgot about it. I’ve had a lot of futuristic years lately so there hasn’t been much to teach y’all. See you around the block, kiddos.
Oh yeah, I want to solve a crime. Just call me Nancy Drew.
Hello, and welcome, to 1794.
This year marks the end of slavery in the French Republic, altogether a very promising start of the year. But then we have some executions of French men and then a lot of battles that even I know very little about, though I’m positively sure I’ve studied them at one point in my life.
Something a bit closer to home? University of Tennessee is established. I’ve never been there, but hey, it’s there. And it was built in this year.
Kind of an interesting, yet strange fact, coffee was made illegal in Sweden this year. Who would have thought, eh?
Back to uplifting and positive vibes, The Reign of Terror ends this year. Which is just lovely for everyone in France, especially the Revolutionists who continued to die by guillotine. Marie Antoinette style. So, of course, the French Revolution was going on at this time and thereby making the French Revolutionary Wars happen also during this time frame. Fascinating stuff, if you care for history.
I recommend going to Wikipedia after this and typing in this year. Go and look down at the births vs deaths. The deaths heavily outweigh the births but also look to see who was put to death and you’ll notice nearly every single one is a French Revolutionary leader. And nearly all died by guillotine.
History, though morbid, can be entertaining.
Maybe, at some point, I’ll get back to my music list. I’m still trying to think of a U, forgive me.
Au revoir [since most of this was French, anyway].
It’s 1847 today, in Ohio.
Okay, not technically, but go with me here. Today, I put gas in my tank. Not a lot of people know this about me, but when I put gas in my tank I never stop on a round number. I like to always keep it under $20, too. The reasons center around my major - history. And I suppose around the fact that I am, without a doubt, a large geek.
Today, I landed on good ol’ 1847. This is the year the Donner party decided to give cannibalism a go. Just FYI, did anyone see that article about how they didn’t eat each other but they ate the dogs and cattle? Severely disappointing for those who found the whole ordeal interesting. AKA, me.
Just for those slowpokes that have yet to catch on, $18.47 translates to the year 1847, and after arriving home, I looked up this year to find out all these fascinating facts. It keeps my brain sharp and focused on history. Which, when not in class, is something I really need to do.
I know that I’m in the middle of a large alphabetical anthology of music on here, but aside from having no U’s, I figured I could take a brief sabbatical of being a music snob to talk about history, my other love. Well, as a girl, I have many loves but history should be the main focus these days. I have one year left of college. I better make it count.
Plus, it’s not like the one random person that reads my tumblr will really care that I’m not discussing bands that I’ve enjoyed in my short life time for one night.
Some great and interesting facts about 1847 [fascinating to me, at least] include the founding of Columbia University, a school I had at one point in time wished to attend. Although, I must say, it was always Harvard for me. I obviously did not make that wish come true. Wright State is a long way down, if you ask me, but I’m not Ivy League material. :]
Let’s not forget that whack-job Brigham Young taking those Mormons out west to what is now Salt Lake City.
One of the worst books I’ve ever read, Jane Eyre, was published this year. Along with Wuthering Heights. I have not read that, but after Jane Eyre, I don’t think I want to.
Oh yeah, Jesse James, American outlaw, was born this year. And, really, who doesn’t love a good outlaw?
I digress. If you ever want something to occupy your mind while pumping gas, and you have no real plans for after obtaining said gas, you should give this a try. It’s not practical, sure, but at least it’s entertaining. And you learn something! And learning is apparently half the battle. Apparently.
