Mom...



My mother died.
I can see her smiling.
She was grace,
and inspired change.
Inspires me to be the best I can be,
and enjoy it.

-sorry, too retarded to rotate the pic.

Family

I don't know what I'd do without my family.
We are all crazy and I love it.
One of my parents in completely laid back, while the other keeps us structured.
They love eachother, although none of us kids see how they ever matched up in the first place.
Speaking of the kids, none of us are alike, but it seems we are best friends.
Crazy, out of control, dominant sister.  Never can please her, but always can hear her.
Quiet, opinionated brother, does what he wants, but doesn't draw attention to it.
And me, in the middle of the two.  Quiet, yet opinionated anywhere outside of my house.
Crazy and out of control when I'm around these people.  People may not know the other side of me, but I'm ok with it.  Cause I know when I show my true colors to my family, they will always be here for me.

Ordinary World

Journey back to Pride Rock
Meet Jim.
Jim's an ordinary guy.  He wakes up, gets ready, reads the paper and feeds the dog.
He catches the subway by 7:05, goes to work, 8-4.
He makes it home by 5 to eat the dinner Lisa has on the table.
He works in the garage like men do, then plays with the kids for a while. 
Comes in for a shower, and gets ready for bed.
One particular Tuesday however, the subway is late.
He checks his watch to see if he's just early, 7:05. 
But as he looks closer at his watch, he sees the impossible.
A reflection of his father stares back at him from the watch.
He quickly turns around to find him, and sees him staring from the stairs.
He does a double take, and knows what he must do..

What does Jim must do?
Why is seeing his father "the impossible"?
Does he catch the subway?

Dialogue...

Him: "I'm sorry." -blank expression.
Her: "For what?" -still smiling.
Him: "I shouldn't have done that."  -still blank.
Her: "...done what?"  -smile fading.
Him: "Kissed you." -looking into her eyes.
Her: -blank stare.
Him: "It's not fair." -looking down.
Her: "What?"  -tearing up.
Him: "I know you know about her." -walks away. for good.

My Favorite Movie...

I don't really know what my favorite movie is..
But I recently went and saw Titanic in 3D and it was soo good!
That show is amazing anyways, and then in 3D it just blew my mind.
You feel like you are really there, falling in love with Jack Dawson slash sexy Leonardo DiCaprio. 
It's like the cutest movie in the world. 
Usually it's cute to watch a guy change for a girl since that's like a girls dream,
so it's super cute that she completely changes -or would have, had he lived- for him, so they could be together. 
And the fact that their love stayed strong through such a horrible time. 
I feel like most the time, hard times really try love.
But not a love like theirs I guess. 
It is just such a good show, and 3D just adds that little something extra.

My Traumatic Experience..

So...I'm driving down the road...
and my great-granmma spots a deer.
So we pull the car over to look at it, cause gramma is fascinated
We are all just staring at it when *SPLAT*
the deer gets hit by a car and lands on our windshield.
Not a good time.
