Done In Love

 

I read an article about the Bonnie and Clyde Teens, who went on a crime spree.  Upon finding out that his girlfriend was only 13 years old, the 18 year old boy realized there was nothing he could do because “he was already done in love with her”, his mother said.  This got me thinking about the things in my life that are nonnegotiable because I’m already done in love.

1.  Family
There are a total of three people that I completely trust without a doubt:  my parents and my husband.  Those are also the three people that can do no wrong in my book.

2.  Mountain Dew
My soda obsession has been going strong for years.  I once had an ex-boyfriend accuse me of loving Mountain Dew more than I loved him.  Sadly, that was the case since he’s long gone and I’m still over here with my Mountain Dew.

3.  MusicMusic has owned my life since the beginning.  Even though I can’t play or sing, I love everything about music.

4.  AnimalsI grew up on a farm, so animals have been a huge part of my life.  Sometimes I think I love animals more than people.

5.  ComputersI really started getting into computers in middle school and life has never been the same!  Social media has completely exploded and it’s so easy to stay connected to everyone and everything.  Back in my day, I had to sit in front of a computer, on a desk, in a room.  Right now, I’m typing this on my couch!

My Christmas List

My Christmas list is weird this year.  I think I’m at the age where my wants and needs meet up so there are some practical things on here as well as some extravagance.

Water FlossserI’ve mentioned before that I have some teeth issues.  I also hate flossing.  Enter, the water flosser.  I’m convinced that if I brought this into my life, I would be the best flosser in the world.



Samsung Galaxy S3My current phone was probably used to call the dinosaurs.  I need an upgrade yesterday.  I know this isn’t the newest model, but with my service plan, this is probably the cheapest route for me to go.  It also has an 8MP camera.  My current phone has like a 2MP camera.  Also my current phone shuts off for no reason and I have to take the battery out and put it back in order to turn it back on.  So, there’s that.


Portable Hard Drive
I take a ton of pictures and I hate storing them all on my laptop. With the portable hard drive, all of my pictures will be in one place. 


Winter Coat (Not Ugly)I’ve had a ton of winter coats in my day.  The coat I got last winter (that I’m still wearing, btw) looks like it was put through a shredder.  It also makes me feel like a T-Rex if I wear layers under it.  One of these days, I think I’m going to rip it like Chris Farley in “Tommy Boy”.



Wild
I watched a show about Wild yesterday and now I want to read the book!  Never mind the fact that I’ve been reading Gone Girl for months and am still only on like page 70.

Linking up!

Things I Need To Know About The Blue Lagoon


bluelagoon

Since I’ve been living under a rock my entire life, my first viewing of the 1980 classic, The Blue Lagoon was Monday.  Since then, I’ve been plagued with all of these burning questions that the movie just couldn’t answer for me.

This is the point where I would say “spoilers ahead”, but I’m pretty sure everyone else has seen this movie at least once before.  If not, it’s on Netflix now!

Okay, so here are 5 questions that I was left with after my first viewing of The Blue Lagoon:

1. Are Emmeline and Richard related?:  I mean, they say they’re cousins…but are they actual cousins or their families are so close that they’re like cousins?  If they are actual cousins, then what kind of cousins are they?  Like first cousins or like tenth cousins?  How cousined are they?  The Wikipedia page lists the characters as having the same last name, but I mean, are they cousins?!

2.  Old Man Paddy:  What’s his deal? Why is he so uptight at the beginning?  He pushes the kids away but, when the ship goes down, he’s the first to get them in a lifeboat.  When they get to the island, Paddy is also very creepy.

3.  Paddy’s Death:  How did he die?  I mean, yeah he drank a lot, but did he accidentally drown?  Also, he loved that island life so much, so why did he up and die, leaving those two little kids to fend for themselves?  Dude wasn’t the role model for responsibility, but he seemed like he was enjoying teaching the kids survival skills and then he can’t even survive?

4,  Baby Paddy’s Swimming Skills:  That baby can swim!  I know Em and Richard taught Baby Paddy how to swim, but how can a baby swim like that underwater?

5.  This Is A Children’s Movie?:  A lot of the reviews on Netflix start off by saying that they enjoyed the movie when they were kids.  WTF?  I’m almost thirty and the nude scenes made me hide under my blanket!

These are only a few questions that I have in regards to The Blue Lagoon.  As you can tell, overanalyzing is my jam!
