Existential Crisis

This is the man I will marry. HAH I am so silly. But actually. What if I go to London and meet him O.O okay Sammy stop. Anyway. It's pretty cool knowing people think about this stuff. I mean people other than myself. But, as Dan says, the world doesn't stop for you. So make the most of it!!! And enjoy the little things. Such as THAT AMAZING RUBIK'S CUBE MUG! Also, can we talk about the fact that Phil totally saw Dan and just walked back into his room 'cause he's probably completely used to it.

Ongoing Process

Life and plans and such. Constantly moving forward. So here is how things stand.

• I AM HOME FOR FALL BREAK. HALLELU! I shall be here from, well, Friday night, to early Wednesday morning, since I have no morning classes. MUCH NEEDED break at home
• Spent last night and all today with Karla & Cristina & Eric. Twas lovely as always. Oh how I missed that little girl. Missed her with all my heart. And time with Karla is always just so healing.
• This Monday my Dad and I are going to get my passport stuff sorted. I highly doubt I can, on account of this fun little government shutdown. My Dad doubts it, too. My Mom says we should check anyway. It is in my best interest to get it, and I'd rather say I tried. So, as things stand, Monday is passport day.
• SHOULD MY PASSPORT COME BEFORE JANUARY. Yes. I am going to Europe. The most amazing trip ever. And it will be glorious.
• SHOULD IT NOT COME. There shall be an alteration of plans.
• Europe 2016. Possibly no Doctor Who experience, but basically all the restaurants and tours and shows are the same. The trip will come again and I will be able to have the most memorable senior year ever.
• Toronto 2015/2017. That is a goal. Assuming I'm using the extra year(s) to save up, I should at some point get enough for my much wanted trip to Canada. It will happen within the next 4 years, I am determined. Hopefully the prices aren't ridiculously higher than they are now.
• No more BufferFest. As incredible as the whole experience is. No passport. No free transport now that Kimberly is not going. And the expense of the tickets for all the events. It's a Youtube convention, not a concert. So, I've made a decision. Until a Youtube convention reaches DC or Baltimore, or I just happen to be in the assigned area at the convenient time, I won't plan on attending.
• thisroutehastolls will be up before the end of 2014. One way or another. I doubt I will ever have money to buy my own mic and camera, so unless I am gifted these things, I should stop waiting for that to happen. HOWEVER I am seriously debating getting a smartphone. Specifically for the camera. Lord knows I HATE smartphones and it's not like my Dad and I can afford data anyway. But tons of people do iPhone vlogs. Maybe my quality won't be so great but I'm sure we can make up for it in content. And that way, your sister and I have more or less the same quality in our videos. We'll work our way up to better visuals later. Honestly, our focus just needs to be starting the channel.

Like I said. I'm a dreamer. Maybe this is just where I write everything down. So that I jinx it. Or just remember it. Or have witnesses to hold me to my goals. I dunno. I plan on keeping you updated. These things are pretty major events that I want in my life. It's only right that you stay updated on it all :)

Odds Are

Odds are I don't get to go on this amazing Jan Term. It's sad, but I think I'm getting used to the idea. I have to accept reality and the fact that there is no money for these things. MEANWHILE. If I were to miss the trip, why not take a trip of my own? To Toronto for example? BufferFest, the Youtube gathering, will be in Toronto this November and I WANT TO GO SO BADLY. I mean seriously, LOOK at that schedule. Obviously, the tickets don't come cheap. But that would be AMAZING. Kimberly is thinking of going SO we might be able to go together! And apparently your mom already offered up her home to me. Like, omg if this works out <3 I'm such a dreamer. Who knows if anything will work. I may very well not travel anywhere for the next 5 years. But I still like to get excited about things! Possibilities are always endless. Why not dream big?

"Odds Are" by Barenaked Ladies. Video produced by Rooster Teeth (same people that do Red vs Blue and RWBY). Both the song and the video are precious.

Life With Lindo

Reason 324: Pancakes for breakfast. Pupusas for lunch. AW YEAH, good eatin'!

12 years ago, Carrie Hope Fletcher played Young Eponine in Les Miserables in London's West End.

Today was her first performance in her dream role as Eponine. I'm so incredibly proud and happy for her.

"Burn After Reading"

Reason 317: I got a letter today. You actually drew me a picture. I love you forever and for always. If I had a vision board, this picture would be on it. This is gonna happen. Toronto 20Someday. Nope, I shall not burn this letter! I have off tomorrow, so I'll reply then :) It arrived fairly quickly, too!

I've decided I like Carly Rae Jepsen

Will Come True

Reason 233: Today is a prep day. Today I pack. Today I clean. Today I get myself together. Because for the next 3 days I will be in Orlando, Florida, romping about Disney World with the beautiful Kowaleski family.

OMG THIS IS HAPPENING I CAN'T EVEN HANDLE IT. I'M SO EXCITED. This is amazing. So absolutely amazing. It's gonna be so fun. And absolutely beautiful. And DISNEY! AHHH. It's actually happening. In less than 24 hours I will be on a plane to the happiest place on earth! GAH! Happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy. I can never stop counting my blessings. Than you to this absolutely wonderful family for being so kind to me all these years, and going above and beyond anything I ever dreamed possible. I'M GOING TO DISNEY!!!

 

PS: I'm not taking my laptop with me. Let's be honest, I'll be busy the whole time. SO no updates for a few days. But I promise when I come back I'll make up for it and tell you 3 days worth of awesome stories! That is, you know, if Storm doesn't get me killed with his "you have to ride all the rollercoasters" plan... pray for me. <3

Dream A Little Dream

Reason 155: Waking up from a wonderful dream just puts you in a great mood, ready to face the day.

Yes more Disney.

No I'm not apologizing.
