Age Matters SO Much to Me

Don't you find it wonderful when you watch a movie, read a book, hear a song, etc. and a main character is the same age as you? It makes me feel special. I don't know why...
When I was 15 I remember watching The Princess Diaries and feeling so happy because Mia was also 15, and I could totally relate my life to hers :P. I watched Sense and Sensibility, thinking, "Marianne is 16...so am I!" as well as Sleeping Beauty, Little Mermaid, etc. Sixteen was the princess age. Now that I am seventeen....I am in love with ABBA's Dancing Queen, because as you all know the lyrics, like, paint the picture of my existence. Haha. So, yeah... here it is :)
(Look at all them people breaking it down on the dance floor!)

Doggies

Ozzy.

I have a dog named Ozzy that my mom named after "The Wizard of Oz" because he is the same type of dog as Toto. Why she didn't just name him "Toto" I'll never know, because now I am stuck with correcting everyone who meets the thing that he is in fact not named after Ozzy Osbourne, and no, he is not on a crazy train. I'm sorry to all of you dog lovers who read this, but I just had to say something. I don't like dogs, I don't like pets. Baby animals are cute and wonderful, and cats are pretty cool, but dogs? No. Ozzy is alright, but he is not my favorite thing my family owns. He has advantages, I suppose, like he can roll over if you bribe him, he can shake your hand, he can make himself look cute once in a while... but the cons totally outweigh the pros. Ozzy looks like a dirty mop (and smells like one) almost all of the time, he whines when he is inside the house until you let him outside, and once he is outside he barks until you let him in, he throws up in the house, he steals your food, and we have to pay for his food and junk. Anyways, I think I've bashed my dog enough for the day, allow to me move on...

 I have a few inspiring quotes for all of you.

- "If your dog doesn't like someone you probably shouldn't either."- Unknown    Even if you thought this person was a saint, and he/she was the kindest and truest friend ever, you should not keep your good opinion of him/her if your dog barks at them, because they must really be an awful human being underneath all of that goodness.

-"They [dogs] never talk about themselves but listen to you while you talk about yourself, and keep up an appearance of being interested in the conversation."- Jerome K. Jerome We are a selfish, selfish, species.

-"To err is human, to forgive, canine." -Unknown Hah, dogs definitely err. If they didn't, I wouldn't ever be cleaning up dog poo/vomit on the kitchen floor.

"The dog is a gentleman; I hope to go to his heaven, not man's."- Mark Twain   Okay, Mr. Twain, have fun there. I'm sure it rains dog treats and smells like bacon.

"Bulldogs are adorable, with faces like toads that have been sat on."- Colette

   The uglier things are, the cuter they seem to be.

"The average dog is a nicer person than the average person."- Andrew A. Rooney  Yeah, well, so is the average hamster, or iguana, or dolphin. Wait... is a dog a person?

P.S. Deep down I do love my dog in a strange way. Really.

What is a man?

I just had to post this....it was too wonderful for me to resist.

Winter and its Wonders

The air is growing colder, there's snow on the ground and the days are becoming darker...what does this mean? It means...winter! There are certain things about winter that are awful, like the cold, and the ice. Yet, winter has it's perks: Christmas is an obvious one, sledding, Michael Buble's new Christmas CD, hot chocolate, egg nog, and winter wardrobes! 

I love living here, especially because of the variety in seasons. I couldn't live some place where it's hot all year round. It is too much fun changing up my outfits as the weather changes. Winter is wonderful because I can wear nice warm pea coats, mittens, and big cozy scarfs. I can plug in the carols and decorate the tree and ahhhhh..... winter is wonderful.... until Christmas is over, then it just kind of sucks.

Anyways... I have a somewhat important announcement for any of you out there who actually care about my life... I got accepted at the U of L today, and I am officially attending there next fall. I also scored a free toque and water bottle! (That made my day)
