Late Night Thoughts

So I woke up from a bad dream at like 5:40 last night (and by last night I mean Friday.) And this is just kind of what I started thinking about.

So I had a dream that I was trying to figure out what movie characters I was like and for some reason the only character I could think of was Pennywise the Clown from It... which I am not in the least bit like thank god. I maybe also thought Owen Wilson... who is not an actual movie character... but I guess I'm more like him than Pennywise so that makes sense.

Anyway then I woke up cause I was getting freaked out and I realized it was a dream... and then I didn't want to get back to sleep because I remembered Pennywise the Clown was a thing. And its weird that that caused me to stay up late... I'm not scared of clowns, I saw It in the daytime and it wasn't really that scary. The only part that really freaked me out was with the blood in the bathroom with the balloon. That and the writing "IT" on the wall are the only things that I really remember and they were scary... but not the scariest thing I've ever seen in a movie.

I also think all in all... It is a pretty bad movie. It would be wayyyy scarier if Pennywise wasn't a monster. If he were a real person that would really be creepy... but he's a monster, so he doesn't scare me that much. He can die by a silver bullet... and I don't have any silver bullet's lying around... but I don't think that its scary when a monster's weakness is a silver bullet and that's the huge reveal. We get it, monsters don't like Silver... but really? It just isn't that cool anymore

And now I remember why that popped into my head. I started watching Supernatural and they have a gun that I assume has Silver Bullets... but I think thats still cool because they don't really explain that its silver bullets in there at all. Its just kind of like "Ohhh he has a gun for monster fighting. Must be silver bullets. They don't do a whole episode explaining that its silver bullets that kill monsters. They used a good chunk of time to explain that thats how to kill Pennywise.

Anyway then I went on Snapchat and watched some snaps... and then that got me thinking of Chatroulette and how I used to try to see my friends on chat roulette. I remember my friend Alyssa talked to Chris Brown on Chatroulette... this was after he beat up Rihanna, so we didn't really like him... but she said he was a nice guy on Chatroulette and it checked out. It wasn't a fake... I don't see why anyone would impersonate Chris Brown... lol.

So then I remembered the Piano Chat Improv guy. Remember him? He was really funny and just came up with songs on the spot about whatever people were doing. I wondered what happened to him. I assumed he quit his job right after becoming a viral sensation and then Chatroulette stopped being cool and he was probably done.

It bothered me so much to think of this man, that I decided to google him.... so according to Wikipedia he went by the name of Merton and he was hired by T- Mobile to do a live musical improv show and he did that for quite a few years after his first video in 2010. He went on hiatus in 2014 and no one has heard of him since then.

And then I thought Musical improv is super impressive... but its also probably my least favorite type of improv. Its so cool that people can just make up songs on the spot like that and people like Wayne Brady do it really well and its really funny and different... but idk. I'm not a huge fan of audiences participating on stage... most audience members aren't that funny and other than suggestions... meh.

And then I remembered a kid in 6th grade that made up a song right on the spot and he was good at it and I could see him doing musical improv. It was when we had to write a song with something from the lesson in the lyrics... which you could make up yourself or do a song that already existed.

Then I was like "does that really work to help you remember stuff?" And no. Don't think it does. Most of the time the lyrics don't flow that well when you're trying to incorporate history or science or something in them. And usually while performing, it'd be too tough to actually sing it so we would just kind of read off the facts and... that was it. I remember we did Sweet Home Mesopotamia... I don't remember much about that other than Mesopotamia is a place... or was a place maybe.

The one I kind of remember better is when my friend Tori and I did a science song about Porifera to the tune of the Mhnau Mhnau song from the muppets. That ones easy to remember A) because that flows way better than anything else and also Tori actually does music so she could make a song that made sense and flowed with a beat and stuff. So I remember that they are sponges and they have pores called holes.

Then my dog woke me up and I started my day... lol.

Byeee!

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c...

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
