Vivie con miedo es como vivia a medias

I love this movie!!!!

A lovely evening with Miss Shannon. Pizza pies and a jug full of icy, icy water. Mmmmmm...

"Scott Hastings is a champion caliber ballroom dancer, but, much to the chagrin of the Australian ballroom dance community, Scott believes in dancing "his own steps". Fran is a beginning dancer and a bit of an ugly duckling who has the audacity to ask to be Scott's partner after his unorthodox style causes his regular partner to dance out of his life. Together, these two misfits try to win the Australian Pan Pacific Championships and show the Ballroom Confederation that they are wrong when they say, "there are no new steps!"'- IMDb.com

I've always been partial to the name Fran. (Most likely because of this movie.) It reminds me of the word "frump" and they just kind of GO together! Frumpy Fran. I mean, did you SEE how frumpy she was??


She becomes more and more beautiful to him because he's getting to see her for what she's worth. Ahem... "Do I love you because you're beautiful? Or are you beautiful because I love you?" Rodgers and Hammerstein's have it correct; and, well, the best endings end in love. So, it had to happen at some point. Why not in this dress?


Ooooo... and with that 'tude!!

Song of the day- "Love is in the Air"- John Paul Young

Idaho weather.

***American Idol 2011***

So! This has officially become my favorite American Idol year! I'm going to watch EVERY episode... For the past few years, well, honestly, since the glory days of Ruben Stoddard, I haven't watched it as vivaciously. 2009 brought surprising promise and I faithfully watched the end episodes but, it still didn't hold much relish for me.

Then...

Steven came into my life again.

I have fallen in love once more. He has such a bright and funny personality! I ADORE him as a judge of Idol! Sure, he's a crinkly 60 year old man but, has that ever stopped anybody? Just think of Humphrey and Audrey!!


Ew.

Well, not to spoil anyone's fun but, there were two parts (already!) that bring me to blubbery, rosy-cheeked BAWLING every time...

*shiver shiver blubber*
When he leans in and whispers in her ear? Ahhhh!!!! Pluck-pluck-plucking on my heartstrings!! I cried. "That's why he sings so good, cuz he sings to you."

(Skip ahead to 1:50 where she brings in her family)

Mmmmmmmmmm!!! Just that "foreeehvah". I cried. I BAWLED. He has this haunting quality to his voice when he sings softly and low like that... DAH! It's one of my favorite love songs aanyways haha! So, I suppose I'm bias.

Either way, the song of the ending to today is most definitely "Don't Wanna Miss A Thing"- Aerosmith

(Pssssst! Fun fact! The band Aerosmith first formed in Sunapee,NH! I'M FROM NH! And one of his daughters still lives there! So, I'm staking my claim on him hahaha. TTFN!)

REDHEADS.

My THREE favorites...

Axl Rose (of Guns n' Roses) from the 80's


Seth GREEEEEEEEEEN. I love him.


Rupert Grint of the Harry Potter movies

Song for the beginning of the day- "Paparazzi"- Lady Gaga

Superbowl Sunday :)

GO PACKERS GO!!!


Yeah, they won. Steelers never had a chance.

Also, honestly? You call that a half-time show? It certainly beats the wardrobe malfunction of years past but... Woooooo-weeee... For some reason none of the Black Eyed Pea's could sing. The only good part about it was Slash's RAVING guitar skills.

Oh Slash. We could totally be friends.

See my devotion? (His face on my Halloween costumed self)


See my loooooove? (My face on his Gibson ad)

Le sigh...

Song of the day- "Sweet Child O' Mine"- Guns n' Roses

Well, although I essentially stole this from the beginnings of my own (other) blog from long ago (last summer) I figure it's worth re-posting. So! The beginnings of a (new) blog... How delicious! I suppose I ought to begin with the beginning. *Ahem...

My name is Megan. My room is a mess. I'm very creative and I tend to trip over things. Although, perhaps this would be most appropriate in list form. Let's see how many bullets I can get!!--->

o My birthday is August 12th!
o I wear something green with every outfit. (favorite color, if you hadn't gathered)
o I love daisies and ALL exotic flowers.
o I'm rubbish at math.
o Valentine's, Halloween and Christmas are my favorite holidays.
o I named my teddy bear after my grampa. (Wellington)
o I wish I was sportier. Ideally I'd love to be able to play tennis, volleyball, and snowboard.
o I love making lists! I make lists about dream houses, vacation spots, favorite songs, dog breeds, baby names, and loads of other things.
o I can't stand the sound of sandpaper, emery boards, or styrofoam. Blech...
o I LOVE being outside.
o I really want a dog. ANY kind of dog. The bigger the better.
o I love rifling through antiques.
o I love family traditions.
o I'm always excited about something.
o I sing ALL the time.
o I'm pretty good about writing letters. Just, not making it to the mailbox in time. Pitiful, isn't it?
o My favorite ice creams are---> black raspberry, chocolate and cookie dough.
o I'm a stickler for proper grammar and correct spelling.
o Large groups of people are more comfortable to me than small groups.
o I love dressing up; I'm always looking for an excuse to do so.
o Unfortunately, I am a victim of arachnophobia.. *shiver*
o I love tea, and tea sandwiches, and tea parties.
o I LOVE Abbott and Costello, the Three Stooges, and Laurel and Hardy. I would have loved to meet them.
o I'm fairly certain caffeine doesn't affect me.
o I hate yoga.
o I love the words noodle and thither... and jell-o.
o I never wear make-up. It's too girly.
o I would love to visit England, Germany, Ireland, San Francisco, New Zealand, and Copenhagen.

That's some of it at least. I figure a cut-off point might be welcome.

Today was spent watching movies and taking my test (83%... not bad).

Then, the night brought glow-stick-dance-madness!


Ahhhhhh.... Lovely, lovely dances.

Song o' th'day- Indiana Jones Theme Song

Dancing!! (Dirty, that is.)

I finally watched Dirty Dancing last night... And it was so bomb-diggity!!! It has shot itself into immediate favorite list status!



Oh Patrick Swayze... How I'll be sad to have never shaken your hand, or enjoyed a cup of tea with, or have ice-skated with, or have been born in much more similar time frames so that I could plan out our entire wedding with...

Le sigh... Can't win 'em all.
