So, I am seriously not the best at keeping a schedule..*sigh* Welp, I may or may not continue with the "10 top things" nonsense in the near or far future...yeah I have no idea.
I started reading The Shining by Stephen King today...needless to say I am hearing noises all over my house--and I haven't even gotten to the killing part yet! I know everything that happens because of this old Halloween special of The Simpsons that my family watches every year. I know what you're thinking: What respectable LDS family watches The Simpsons? Well, 1. you are very small-minded, and 2. these Halloween specials are AWESOME. They aren't crude or disgusting like the current ones, they are just pure hilarious Halloween fun. The one I happen to be speaking of is called "The Shinning", and is a hilarious spin-off the book The Shining. Please just watch this: The Simpsons "The Shinning" Man, I am so excited about reading this book. I just stopped at the point where they are snowed in. I am quite excited to finish this >:)
I am so messed up.

I am not a slacker...
Yes, I have not posted the last two days, but my nighttime schedule is filled with a project that I must complete.
And no, I will not write my blog at a different time! Silly people.

Some movies just really suck.
TEN MOVIES THAT I HATE.
1. The Chronicles of Narnia. I just absolutely LOATH this series--at least the first installment, I couldn't bear to go beyond it. I just really hate the kids. They are way too young and stupid, and their accents are irritating beyond belief. I understand the this is a loved book series...but it sucks.
2. August Rush. The music in this movie kills me--IT IS SO FAKE. This child is not a music prodigy, he can't even play the guitar right. I also hate the story, and the ending was very anti-climatic.
3. It's Kind of a Funny Story. This movie has no plot or moral or purpose. It was just one stupid thing after another. I don't even understand the reason behind making this film.
4. The Polar Express. Another American classic degraded by my opinion. I completely abhor this movie. The animation sucks, it just does; the kids have no facial expressions at all. I also hate the music.
5. The Neverending Story. The ancient previews for this seemed fairly interesting, so I gave it a try. It was horrible. Don't even go there.
6. Groundhog Day. I am one of those people that really dislikes Bill Murray. I thought this movie was really frustrating.
7. Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows. I am sorry, but I did not like this when I saw it in theaters. I was wholly confused by the "plot" and there was so much fighting in the beginning that I didn't understand the reason for.
8. Twilight. Usually this is higher up on peoples' lists, but I sort of figured that it was a given...I will give it credit for being REALLY fun to make fun of.
9. Nacho Libre. I just do not understand this movie. It was fun to watch it the first time (in a way) because of all the famous lines, but I still think the story is stupid.
10. Classic Pride and Prejudice. I am such a classic-killer. I have only seen the beginning part of this, but I was not impressed with the acting, and I don't like Colin Firth. I think he was a weird choice for the role.

It's like my stomach is a bottom-less pit or something.
So, I am chronic hungry person, so I am dedicating this post to the one thing we all have in common:
TEN TOP FAVORITE FOODS (excluding dessert).
1. Steak. I have always been a hardcore steak fan; I take my steaks rare, like flip it once or twice on the grill and I'm good. I like my meat really pink.
2. Lobster/crab. I am a diehard seafood fan. If it is seafood, I will eat it--it is probably the only food group that I am not picky about. I just find lobster/crab to be the highest of quality seafood.
3. Peanut butter. I ingest like 3 tons of this a day...okay not really, but I eat it on a lot of bread products: pancakes, waffles, and just plain sandwiches.
4. Muffins. I am a sucker for a muffin; especially ones from Costco.
5. Ham. I like my ham with a massive amount of sugary glaze on it. That is definitely when it is the best; you just can't have ham without it.
6. Rolls. I love rolls of all kinds, but I think my Aunt's rolls are the best homemade ones I have ever had. We have them at every family gathering. Mmmm...
7. Sausage and rice casserole. I don't know exactly where my mother found this recipe, but I know that I love it. It may seem simple, but it is delicious and addicting.
8. Tater tot casserole. Thank you, Kelli. Um, who can resist tater tots in any form?
9. Chips and salsa. Salsa is the only Mexican/Hispanic food I will eat with happiness. I also like it really mild, as I cannot handle any kind of spicy food.
10. Breakfast foods. Pretty much everything counts: waffles, pancakes, french toast, caramel rolls, you name it.

Hot celebrities: the reason we all watch movies/TV.
Once again my love for movies and TV has fueled this post. Here is a little picture to get the party going:
1. David Tennant. I love this man more than I should. I actually cried (ask my roommates) when I found out he was married--NO JOKE. He has GREAT hair.
TEN OBSESS-WORTHY MALE CELEBS.
2. Bobby Flay. Yes, I am really weird, but one of my main reasons for watching the Food Network all the time is him. As I once heard someone say, "He is as yummy as the food he makes."
3. Johnny Depp. We all know that I have a deep and abiding love for Johnny Depp, and today was his birthday!! :) That is sort of what fueled this post's beginnings. Everything he does, I love.
4. Tom Hiddleston. OMG I love him; seeing all the hype about him on Tumblr and then seeing The Avengers did it for me. He is precious and hothothot beyond belief.
5. Richard Armitage. I just really enjoy everything I have seen him in--he is also going to be in the upcoming Hobbit movies, so I am WAY excited about that!
6. Benedict Cumberbatch. There is a definite evolution of my feelings for this man. The first time seeing him, "Omg his face is so weird"; second, "Wow but he's a really good actor; third, "Okay, he's kind of attractive in a strange way"; fourth, "Yep, I definitely like this man"; fifth, "please come to America and love me". Yes, I'm a creep, but Tumblr has only enhanced my inner creep.
7. Colin Morgan. Gosh, he is sort of another Cumberbatch for me. I always thought his face was weird, but now I just love it--and those precious ears...
8. Eoin Bailey. I pretty much watch Once Upon A Time just for him. He is so cute.
9. James Marsters. Okay, so I pretty much just love him as Spike, but I love him nonetheless. I just think the blonde, spiky hair looks so good on him!
10. Tom Felton. Once again, just watching Harry Potter for him and Snape, because the acting sure wasn't doing it for me! I certainly think he is quite cute in the movies, now that he has grown his hair out, not so much.
Man, writing all this and finding the pictures made me really happy.

But I obsess
If you know me at all, you would realize that I am an unhealthily obsessive person.
TEN THINGS I AM WEIRDLY OBSESSED WITH.
1. The Food Network. I could actually watch this channel all day and not get bored at all. I like all of the shows I have seen, although Chopped is not my favorite. I know I talked about it a bit before, but my favorite shows include The Next Food Network Star, Good Eats, Diners Drive-Ins and Dives, Iron Chef America, and Cupcake Wars.
2. Princesses. I am a total girly-girl about this, but I have loved Princesses since I was little. I have all the Disney princess Barbies, I have a shrine to Kate Middleton on my wall, I have read tons of books about royalty of all kinds...I am obsessed. My favorite princess (although she isn't technically a princess) is Anne Boleyn--I just really have always loved how she was willing to do almost anything to get what she wanted.
3. Great Britain. This place is amazing--I love anything to do with the British. ANYTHING.
4. Cats. My family has a deep and abiding love for cats. We volunteer at a cat shelter out in south Boise, and we have two cats in my house. We do also own many cat-related items like pillows and blankets and statues...
5. Chocolate. I don't even know how to survive without chocolate. It is pretty much the staple of my diet.
6. Leopard print. If something is leopard print, then I will most likely buy it or want it really badly. I currently have this large cut of velvety leopard print fabric hanging over my bedroom window like pseudo-curtains.
7. Weddings. I discussed this before, I know, but I just have always had this thing for weddings. I don't really even know why. I mostly just think that all the planning and individualism that goes into weddings is so special and fun. I love to see the wedding colors, and cake, and dress, and location, and all the cool unique details that go into each wedding.
8. Christmas. I am such a child; but Christmas is just one of those times that I really look forward to. In fact, I had a moment today where I wished it was Christmas. And it's not really Christmas itself that I love, it's the season. I love all the traditions, and family stuff, and I guess presents are nice too.
9. Almond flavoring. This is the stuff that goes into those delicious poppy seed muffins from Costco. I LOVE it. I actually made an almond pound cake tonight to satisfy my craving for the stuff. I also really like it strong. They make this fudge at Cabelas called Amaretto fudge, and it is TO DIE FOR...if you like really strong almond flavoring.
10. Erasers. I just find erasers to be really soft and smooth, so if I am holding a pencil, it is 100% possible that I am playing around with the eraser. It really distracts me.

I am a movie fan.
As per my obsession with fictional characters, I have decided to put together a list of my favorite movies! Yay!
TOP TEN FAVORITE MOVIES.
1. Gone With the Wind. I pretty much have to have this one first on principle; I could never let down my idol, Scarlett O'Hara...and anyway, I really do love this story--and the cinematography is great for such an old film!
2. Tangled. I have watched this movie about 15 times. I just really love it...
3. The Devil Wears Prada. Okay, so I'm a sucker for a good fashion movie. I also really think that Anne Hathaway is a fabulous actress, and Meryl Streep is just awesome. You just can't go wrong with this movie.
4. Holiday Inn. This is one of those old black and white Bing Crosby movies. It is just so good. The music is really good, and the acting is awesome. This also has Fred Astaire in it, so of course the dancing is fabulous as well.
5. The Turning Point. This movie is one of the best ballet movies I have seen. It has an actual story line while still maintaining some really good dance scenes. I often just get a craving to watch this. It was made in the 70s, so the hair and clothes are pretty bad though.
6. Pride and Prejudice. NOT the awful six-hour one though, the newer one with Keira Knightley. I know it seems like utter blasphemy to hate the old one, but I do not like the acting, and I greatly dislike Colin Firth (what am I, except for an enigma?). The music is awesome and I love the costumes.
7. North and South. What can I say, I'm a sucker for Pride and Prejudice-esque stories. This one is sectioned into four 50-minute episodes. I just REALLY love Richard Armitage.
8. Confessions of a Shopaholic. A lot of the time, I feel like I am a part of this movie--I'm not in serious debt or anything, but I have the same feelings she does about shopping.
9. Pirates of the Caribbean. I just love these movies!! The second one is my favorite, however. And really, who doesn't love these movies?
10. The RM. This is a risk, putting this on here, but I just think it is so funny. It is an LDS filmed, produced, acted, etc. movie, and I am not sure you can totally appreciate its charm unless you are LDS, but just know that it is hilarious.
