My Journey to becoming a Gilmore Girl, a long-awaited update!

Dear People of the World,

Ths entry is mostly dedicated to my love of the show "Gilmore Girls" I have no idea when I discovered it, but when I did, luckily for me, ABC Family was running a "Gilmore Girls" marathon, so from there, I got all the DVDs I could from the library.

When I got a gift card for Christmas, and I got to go to Barnes and Noble, I was searching the 50% off display, right near the front of the DVD section and what did I find? Yes, that's right, the Complete 1st season of "Gilmore Girls" I was quite literally on cloud nine that night.

After that, I mean, once my 20th birthday rolled aorund, a couple months later, I hoped and praye dwith all my might to get the complete second season. My mom happened to get me the 2nd season AND the 1st season because I think she mentioned it was a two for one deal, so now I have a backup of the 1st season, very handy, right?

Anyway, recently, I was watching the 2nd season again and I discovered one of my all-time favorite episodes. It actually used to be my least, but it jumped right up to my favorite. I think it's because Lorelai makes up a bunch of really funny diner phrases and I LOVE the spat that Rory and Jess seem to have throughout the entire episode, its so cute!

I love my own mom a lot, but it seems like I would like Lorelai and Katilette to be my imaginary moms. I know Katilette is too young to ever have a 20 year old daughter, but hey, it's my imagination, right? It can go any which way I want it to. Besides, I would like Julie Andrews and Kelly Bishop to be my imaginary grandmothers. Kristin Chenoweth is my imginary aunt! (We have so much in common anyway)

Oh and Rachel, who migth be reaidng this, see, see, see, I updated, you happy now~! :P

I guess that's all for now,

Christmas Trees and other Festive Things

Hello!

Boy, it's been a long time since I posted! At the moment of writing this blog, I'm listening to the Wicked soundtrack all the way through, I really can't wait until this show comes to Sacramento!!!! It should be in 2012, on a similar note I'm seeing Mary Poppins this summer, i can't wait for that either!

I'm really excited for Christmas this year because I will get to see my friends and hang out with them. I also cant wait to decorate the tree and open prsents from friends and family!

In other news, the very revered Blake Edwards has passed away. For those of you who don't know, he's married to Dame Julie Andrews and he has directed such favorites such as Victor/Victoria, 10, BVreakfast at Tiffany's, and of course The Pink Panther, he will be missed greatly!

Let's see what else? I got pretty good grade in my classes last semester,

HDEV2 (Human Development 2, basically learning about teaching preschool children): B
ENG 1A: C (I did the best that I could, I think I deserve this grade)
Aerobics: A (I really worke dmy butt off in this class and i loved it)

Next semester I'm taking:
Yoga
Group Public Speaking
Math
HDEV 4 9not sure what this is)

It should be a fun semester, but right now im focusing on enjoying the days leading up to Christmas, which should be jolly good fun. I also can't wait for the rain and rainstorms, i love rain, thunder and lightning!

I guess that's all for now, I swear that I will update more often,

Auf Weidersein,

PPS: I changed my name on Facebook to honor the passing of the dear man Blake Edwards, just in case you were wondering

Birthdays, Rooms and Collages

Hey, everybody,

Um, yeah, I haven't updated my blog since August, so I will update now. It won't be very long because I'm not sure I have a lot of blogging energy. Hmm, what to say, what to say

First of all, I would like to direct you to a post awhile back about me being calm and stuff, um, it's one of my favorite posts and it sounds so poetic, plus it's totally true!

Anyway, I wanted to say that I finally got an autograph from Amanda Seyfried! I think she is the one who let's say sparked my current "Mamma Mia" addiction. Oh, do you think I should write to Meryl Streep again? Comment below

My friend Rachel's birthday is tomorrow! I'm not saying on here what I made her. She'sll find out tomorrow! A big shout out to her! Lova ya!

My other friend has a birthday on Monday, so Happy Birthday to her as well!

I guess that's all I can think of to say right now,

see ya,

Maddie A

Think I'll Make it as a Movie Critic?

Hey you all!

There I go with the 90s kick again, I just think it's so funny! Ahem, anyway, here I am again. loaded with new things about my life that I should update on!

As you probably know, I live in California, and the California State Fair is happening this year. Well, I went twice! Once to see Martina McBride in concert with my friend's family, and then again with MY family and my friend Jill.

After seeing Martina McBride, I became hooked! By the time I got home, I found a wallpaper of her for my computer, sent her a tweet on Twitter, sent her a letter, and looked up her songs online. Did I mention, my browser now has her picture on it? Yeah, call me crazy!

It was then that I started seeing some of her songs on my favorite videos on Youtube! I actually found three of her songs lurking about in my playlist on there, "This One's For the Girls" , "She's a Butterfly" and wait, that's only two, but I found out that all this time I had been loving the song "This One's For The Girls" and not realizing that it's by Martina McBride! OMG!

Okay, sorry bout that, anyway, the second time I went, I got to go off on my own with my friend and boy did we have a fun time! We even managed to see my aunt and my cousin at the Animation exhibit! Who knew! I saw them again in the next one, with the small animals!

Wow, so much to remeber, so I will put it in list form

• We went on this yellow roller coaster which was really fun
• We one little stuffed fish from a balloon game
• I failed at a basketball shooting game
• I went on a seemingly harmless ride, (the one I told you about that was at Six Flags? Yeah, read my post about it and you'll see) anyway, this one turned out to be bigger and it made my stomach queasy for the REST OF THE DAY! Curse you ride from "Madeline" the one at the end which Miss Clavel goes on!
• Oh and it made my signed "Wicked" hat fly right off my head. Some nice girls behind me on the ride told me right away! It landed on this big white box thing, so when I got off, this nice guy threw it to me and I managed to catch it
• Luckily I hadn't had breakfast, just a piece of gum, so that was sort of lucky
• Let's see, we also went on this little fire-safety passport thing for little kids, two of the "rangers" reminded me somewhat of Chris Rock, I think, either that or Elijah Kelley, the dude who was in Hairspray
• We saw a puppet show, which was kind of cute, it was part of the passport thingy
• I knew every single thing that they taught us, but it was fun to learn about it in a new way, directed at little kids
• Okay, I didn't know about safe fires and bad fires
• I got a bandanna
• This robot guy on a scooter asked my friend is she had been eating the blue crayons again, she had been eating a blue Icee!
  
• We asked about a signature reader thingy at the info desk, I gotta admit I was kind of nervous because it was an old guy and I was afraid he wouldn't hear me, I did have to repeat some things, basically it didn't really help
• I got my picture taken at a News10 weather thingy, I'm on the website, the tall girl in the black shirt and "Wicked" hat.
  
• Basically, that's about all we did

When I got home, I ate saltine crackers that my parents brought home for me and watched "Julie/Julia" I think, the crackers helped and they were yummy, I also cried because I hate feeling yucky

The first time I went, I had a funnel cake, kettle corn, a corndog and a lemonade, we watched a parade go by and we also sat on a slanty hill to watch Martina McBride, we waited by this gate to try and see if we could meet her, but then we gave up

I also got a license plate thing with my name on it and lip balm, which tasted like chocolate peanut butter cookies. I wish I had gotten the buttered popcorn one.

Oh, before I wrap this up, I want to say that the second time I went, I wore a shirt that I had gotten from my grandma, it read "careful, or you might end up in my novel" It is now my favorite shirt and I got quite a few comments, good ones, by the way.

I went bowling last night and got three strikes, it took me awhile to warm up , since I had taken the bowling class, but hadn't really bowled since the last day of that class
We also went to Baskin Robbins, did you know that in the new logo, the number 31 is made up of the B and the R? just learned that last night!

Okay, I am tired of blogging right now and trying to remember all the little details about the State Fair and I will blog the next time i get the chance

Sayonara!

PS: The title refers to something I was going to mention but never did, I will be reviewing my favorite movies over a period of time, and practice being a movie critic or something, if you have suggestions for what I should review, please leave a comment!

My Top 10 Favorite Disney movies

My Top 10 Favorite Disney movies (Oh, what the heck, I like them all, but these are my favorites)

10. The Parent Trap (1998)

You may be surprised why this one is my favorite because you were expecting it to be a Julie Andrews movie. I like this because of the storytelling, the flow of the movie, the characters, my favorites are Hallie and Annie, Chessie, the butler guy, and of course the parents. I also like it because everybody has such great chemistry.

I also like it because I can sit through it wihtout shutting it off to take a break or something

9. The Princess Diaries (and the sequel)

I like this movie becuase, well it has Julie Andrews and Anne Hathaway has really great acting skills. Mia and the Queen, oh, and Joe are my favorites. My favorite scene would have to be the one where Mia crashes into the trolley. Just a great scene all-around.

The sequel is also awesome because of the mattress scene and Julie Andrews singing "Your Crowning Glory" It's such a heartwarming scene.

Another great scene would have to be the one where the maids sing "Frere Jaques" to distract the Queren and then bang the pots together! I laughed so hard when i first saw the scene

The whole ending is really neat and a treat for the eyes! I have to give it 10 stars!

I'm not going to go through and review each of the rest of my favorites so I will list them in no particular order, although next up would be Lilo and Stitch because it is funny, heartwarming and has great chracters. Pleakley is especiallu funny near the end!

Anyway, here they are

Enchanted

Tinker Bell (Kristin Chenoweth is really awesome in this one)

Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure

Finding Nemo

Toy Story

Toy Story 3 (DA BOMB! I loved it! I normally don't like Pixar Shorts, but this one had the best)

Toy Story 2

Ratatoiuee (Some parts are hard to sit through, but over all, I love the artwork)

UP (Has to be on eof my favorites!)

The Incedibles (Amazing to watch)

Mulan (Funny! Eddie Murphy is the best and I like Mulan, of course, she has some really great lines, I like all the action, but not the main Hun guy with the scary eyes)

Bolt (Once I watched the whole thing, I really liked it. The pigeons were the best)

Well, I hope you liked this and please comment below if you would like me to review some other Disney movies

Oh, The Little Mermaid would have to be in the top because I loved it! Ariel has to be one of my favorite Disney Princesses

How could I forget Mary Poppins? I mean, it was one of my favorites! Julie Andrews was simply practically perfect in every way Dick van Dyke and the two kids were also very good!

Okay, my fingers are getting tired, so see ya, until next time
