So you know how some people are like "best day ever" for every day of their life? I appreciate their enthusiasm for the good things they have in there lives. BUT! I (for reals yo) had the best day ever.
So first it starts off with the amazing fact that it is a Saturday and I got to sleep in till 11:30. after having an epic dream about being kitnis from the hunger games series, that's right beware my bow ans arrow.
Second came work, i know that this should be where I'm like "but that sucked so we're moving on now, however today was really slow so i got to read my book. I am now more than halfway through it and wish that i could read faster so that when i got a call i didn't always stop at a cliff hanger (in this book we take that literally.)... FYI i work at a call center for Vision Security. continuing on, When i was about to leave for my break my boss says "hey, do you just want to go home early instead of taking a break?" so duh! i said yes and booked it outta there.
where the third amazing thing happened I got to see my Best friend Sarah and it doesn't happen often cause we both work full time and soon we will both go to school full time. There was a small price to pay (not really) we had to go to her boyfriends apartment and help take some stuff in. when we got there it was EPIC mostly cause is speaker system made his whole floor shake.
FOURTH there was a DANCE PARTY impromptu and in the RAIN that's right people the RAIN. where there were many cute single guys. The guys who were in charge of the music didn't do such a bad job picking songs either.
fifth and probably the happiest (or silliest, you choose) part was meeting a cute guy, whom thought it was cool that i know both and all of the rap parts in the song Magic by B.O.B... haha it did make me laugh just all little bit that he thought that was cool. all of this happening in the amazing event nature had given me. Rain
The mighty number six would be running into my friend Catia who i haven't seen since graduation day. I love seeing Friends. Come to find out she lives just around the coroner from the apartment my friend is living in! so i will be seeing her alot more often, hopefully.
The rain its self is number seven on my awesome day of life. The lightning that came along with it made me smile so much my cheeks hurt... only a little bit. so that makes the lightning number...you guessed it! 8!!
the number 9 would be occupied by the amazing drive home in the rain where the radio obeyed my every command!
So that ends my list of amazing things that happened to me today. I wish that days like this could happen all the time, sadly if they happened all that time i don't think i would appreciate them as much, nor would i notice what specifically made me happy. I'm glad that i can enjoy the little things in life. :) I hope that you all can think of one thing that has happened to you in the past twenty four hours that has made you smile, laugh, or want to dance in the rain. That is something that i will ALWAYS want to do. I may even follow the advice of a wise man i hear of often and keep a journal of all the ways may life were good from day to day. For today though i think I'll just share my happiness with you.

FOR NARNIA!!!!
I did it! I finally completed reading the entire Narnia series by C.S. Lewis and then I watched all the movies too. Why did I do this? To be 100% honest I did it because I felt like it. Then as i started reading them I remembered all those happy times when my dad had read them to me as a kid, and how he had read them to my younger siblings just this past year, yup those are definitely some happy memories. ANYWAY, when I finished the last page of "The Last Battle" I felt like I'd accomplished something. I love that feeling of knowing that I've set my mind to something, and even thought it took WAY longer than it should have, I did it in the end.
I wish that the Narnia series was on a book list for High School English classes, there is so much that you can write about and discuss in these books, plus they aren't boring. I feel like eighty percent of all of the books on high school reading lists are either boring or you really could care less about whats going on in the book. For a very good example I give you the book 1984 by George Orwell, I personally despise that book. Sorry if i offend anyone but the only good part about that book is the idea it presents. The Narnian series however, is an easier read with all of the symbolism and excitement you can ask for!
Now I know i have said quite a bit about the symbolism you can find in these books, most of the symbolism in these books has to deal with the Cristian religion, maybe and very sadly that is why this book isn't on schools reading lists. The symbolism I found in these books that I had never seen before is how it isn't Aslan who swoops in to save all of the kings of Narnia, he sends children to help them for him. It brought to my mind all of those lessons on "if ye do it unto the least of my brethren..." I sat there for a minute after making this realization that even in the books these little lessons about serving those around you are there.
One last thing. I think that you should read the Narnian series, if not for the simple pleasure of reading then for the challenge of seeing all of the relations between the books and the christian religion. That is your mission should you choose to accept it, and I sincerely hope that you do.

Just starting out...
So I have toyed with the idea of starting my own blog for a long time, the thing was I didn't think anyone would read it. Then I realized that it doesn't matter if anyone reads it, I can write what I write and write it for me. However, if you read this and decide that you would like to continue to read what I have to say then I am completely content with that. What I'm going to blog isn't going to be my journal though I may tell a funny story or two, it will be thoughts, ideas, experiances, what I've thought about a book or a movie that i've read/ watched recently. Like it says, from the mouth of a blonde. I hope you enjoy it, as much as I hope to.
