Characters

Hello All,

If you haven't figured out yet, I'm a little bit of TV nerd. I also have it on in the background and have been inspired by some amazing characters in television. Don't get me wrong, there are tons of women in my life who have inspired me but sometimes characters can do that do. Today I want to share with you the female characters who have inspired me to be who I want to be when I grow up. 

Lorelai Gilmore
I love that life gave Lorelai lemons (Rory) and she mad some pretty damn good lemonade of stable life, in a great town and stayed positive. Plus I love her quick wit. 

 Rory Gilmore
I love that Rory was so smart and worked her butt off. She knew she wanted something and she worked for it. Like when she wanted go to Harvard she worked her butt off when she was in high school and never gave up. 

Donna Martin 
I love how Donna knew she wanted to wait and she did until she was ready. Also in the earlier seasons of Beverly Hills 90210 they talked about how Donna battle a learning disability and worked hard to over come it.

Jess  Day
Who doesn't love Jess from New Girl? My main reason I love Jess is because of the fact that she completely embraces her awkwardness. I'm a big fan of embracing my awkwardness. I always say that one day when I meet a guy he will fall in love with how awkward I am. Plus Jess is hilarious and I like to think I'm hilarious.
In all honesty, of all the people on this list, I'm probably most like Jess. For example the two gifs above are totally me. Especially the first one, I would totally do that, no shame. LOL

Joey Potter 
I know that a lot people who were fans of Dawson's Creek will see this one and probably think I'm crazy. Mainly because most people hate on Joey, but I don't. I love her, I loved that has cynical as she could be there were still times that she was naive. I liked to be like Joey and still have a little bit of Naive still be realistic. Does that make sense?

Blair Waldorf 
You remember how I said that Jess is probably the one I'm most like? Well Blair is the person that I most want to be. She is just perfect! She strong, determined and has a huge heart. Even when she's hurt she holds herself together in public. She knows she doesn't need a boy to be happy but she still loved Chuck with all her heart. If I could be perfect combination between Jess and Blair I would be beyond happy.

Lucy Camden
I love how big of a heart that Lucy had. She wore her heart of her sleeve and was always there her someone in need. Those are qualities that I would love to have, and I know that I have some of these qualities and they are qualities that I can always work on.

Topanga Lawrence 
Basically Topanga's quote above is the reason I love her. In her heart she knew she was meant to be Cory but she knew that they had to do there own things. (The quote says: I'll do my thing and you do your think. You are you and I am I. And if in the end we end up together its beautiful.)
Oh, yeah she's a free spirt and believe what she believes.
Lydia Martin
She's smart and beautiful. I love that she is so smart and doesn't try to act like an airhead. I always hate characters on shows who are smart but act like an airhead. Also she has Dylan O'Brien's character's heart.

So, those are all the female characters who inspire me. What characters inspire you in your life? Let me know in the comments below.

Online Shopping Haul

Hello All,

After starting my blog, I became super interested in other blog and vlogs on youtube. I even created a channel on youtube so that I can add vlogs to blogs every once in awhile. You can subscribe to my page if you want but I'll pretty much just put the videos in blog post, when I eventually do get around to make some. I have some ideas for when I go back to school so that's when I'll be adding them in. 

Anyhoodle (I love that word, I think its funny), one of my favorite types of videos I like to watch are the shopping haul ones and I figured I'd do a blog post version of the online shopping haul that I did last week. 

The first thing that I did was some shopping on Amazon for CDs. I know what you're thinking, who still use CDs, well this girl does. 

Let me explain. Recently Mama J bought a new car and I got her hand-me-down mini van, I'm going to do a quick post about in a few days because I'm excited! Her mini van is almost probably about 10 years old, so it only has a CD player, plus I don't have an iphone (I'm galaxy girl) and I don't like how many commercials are on the radio so I figured I'd buy some CDs! 
I bought two CDs and since they were off Amazon I got some good prices on them and I'm so excited. The first CD that I got (for only about $4) was the Hunter Hayes CD (if you don't know why you can learn here and here).  I also go the Taylor Swift CD for about $11, I like some of the songs on her new CD and I like her old stuff so I thought why not, I can always skip the few (*cough* We Are Never Ever Ever Getting Back Together*cough, cough***). 


The other little bit of online shopping that I did was on the Disney Store Website. I love Disney and for my birthday someone gave me a gift card. A few days ago I got an emails about a discount and i figured why not use my gift card. I got two really cute shirts for less then $25! I was so excited. 

Can be found here

I love this shirt because I love how Disney makes you feel like kid! I'm sorry the lighting is really bad for this picture, this shirt is a little more reddish then the shirt looks, I don't know why its so washed out. 

Can be found here
I love this shirt too, I love how Minnie's box is the "M" in Minnie. When I went to take the picture I laid the shirt on carpet forgetting about the dog hair from Kizzy and now it has dog hair all over it, oh well I'll just take a lint roller to it. 

So, those are my newest purchases. What have you bought recently that you're excited about? Let me know in the comments below.

Big Brother Recap: Week 5

Hello All,
With America in charge of who the third nominee was and the houseguest clueless to that fact, ciaos is sure to ensue. If this is the first time you have come across my Big Brother recaps and want to see what I thought about the other weeks before reading this week you can by hitting the links: Week 1 (Season Premiere), Week two, week three, Week Four


***Spoiler Alert: I will be discussing events that have happened in any Big Brother up to and including the episode that was aired on July 25, 2013. I don't  watch  the live feeds so I will not be discussing anything that was not featured in the edit show!**

Competitions:
Much like last week the HOH competition was features on Thursday episode but I'm discussing it during this week's recap.

For this HOH competition America was able to influence the game. America had to vote which houseguest fit the description best, much like superlatives in high school yearbooks. Then all the eligible houseguest (everyone but Helen) were the questions having to guess which houseguest America thought best described the description. This HOH went to a tie breaker and in the end Judd came out victorious as the new HOH.
Judd after winning HOH

This week their was a have not competition that left me craving a summer treat.

The houseguest (with the exception of Judd) were split into 3 teams of 4. Two at time they had to run up to the Fro-yo dispenser and eat as much fro-yo as possible. When the horn sounded the houseguest would run and switch places with the other players. They would do this process twice so that each house guest tried both types of fro-yo. What were the times you might be asking. One was a traditional flavor and one was distgusting flavor anchovy and Habanero. The three teams were weighted before and after eating fro-yo and the team who lost the most amount of weight became the have nots of the week. The player who rocked this competition was Gina Marie who walked away with a food baby.
The final competition this week was the Power of Veto. This week it was played by Judd, McCrae, Helen, Elissa, Aaryn and Kaitlin. It was hosted by Andy. 
This week each of players had to crawl through mud and find ballots, they would then run back to their voting booths and open ballot. Each ballot had a number on it, they then had to decide if they wanted to keep it or discarded. Whoever has the largest number of votes win.  They could discard as many votes as they want but can only keep 4. Some of the higher votes came with punishments and the lower ones came with prizes. Helen got a score 29 votes and with 10 votes got an 8 PM crfew for two nights. Kaitlin got 24 votes but didn't get and prizes or punishments, McCrae got 20 votes, one of this ballots had a 0 on but he won $5000. Aaryn got 32 votes and much like Kaitlin didn't get an prizes or punishments. Judd got 38 votes, one his ballots were 18 and got 24 hours soloitary confidment. Elissa got 40 votes and has to set out for the next veto competition. Elissa won this power of Veto. This competition looks like so much fun!
Nominations and BBMVP:
This week was unpredictable with who Judd was going to nominate. Judd like every HOH was getting advice from everyone. Although the houseguest who was in Judd's ear the most was Amanda who wanted him to try and break up Spencer, Howard and Candice by putting up Howard. Judd stood pretty firm to his guns of wanting to evict and female with his original nominations being...
Aaryn
 Kaitlin
Boy don't those nomination sound familiar?
 When it comes time for MVP to get announced Elissa becomes really nervous because she doesn't who it is and believes that she is the target. Little does the house known, although some are supicious, that America is MVP. Apparently Elissa had a write to be scared because she became the third nominee.
After Elissa got nominated the house went crazy trying to figure out who is MVP. The biggest suspicion is that Elissa was MVP and nominated herself. If those rumor were true and MVP wasn't America and Elissa had been able to pull that  off, hands down Elissa would be my player of the week.
With Elissa winning the MVP, America next player with the most number of votes took Elissa spot. The next nominee was....
Making the final 3 nominations Aaryn, Gina Marie and Kaitlin.
Alliances:
Howard and Spencer decide to start a new alliance along with Judd, Kaitlin and Gina Marie. They want this alliance to be the outsiders. They believe that they can over throw the "Power", of Elissa, Helen, Amanda and McCrae. I'll be honest my favorite part is for the first since Nick left, Gina Marie acted like she actually wanted to be there. But soon the new form alliance got stuck between a rock and hard place when two of their member were put on the block. 
Showmances:
David and Aaryn
Gina Marie and Nick
Jeremy and Kaitlin
One more showmance bit the dust last week, but don't you worry another showmance started right up.
McCrae and Amanda
Still going strong and if the other house guests want any chance at winning they need to send at least one of them home, I'd guess Amanda because she's the bigger threat to the others. 

Candice and Howard
These two seem to sincerely enjoy spending time with one another and do seem to like each other. During Diary Room discussion both admitted to seeing their showmance to be real and two really trust each other. But Candice is smart and Howard is strong making them a HUGE threat to break up.
Drama:
Once again Big Brother opened up with the disclaimer and probably will for the rest of the season, or at least until Aaryn and Gina Marie leave.
 Something that was suppose to start out fun took a turn for the worse. Let me explain. This week was McCrae's birthday and the house guest came up with a surprise for him. But soon Elissa start throwing jabs at Amanda. Which might be one of your dumbest moves considering that Amanda and McCrae have helped kept Elissa safe in this game. Hopefully she can counteract mistakes. 
Eviction:

Earlier this week Kaitlin was told that she was only a pawn and she had nothing to worry about. She even believed that her alliance would help keep her safe. After the final nominations were announced Aaryn started to hard core campigan and eventually made a deal with the house guests that if she won HOH next week her target would be Howard.

This week was unanimous vote so with 9 votes Kaitlin was the first female to leave the Big Brother house.
Unlike her boy toy Jeremy she only hugged Gina Marie goodbye (She was the only won who didn't have a hand in voting her out). When she was out with Julie she was gracious loser and talked about how she couldn't wait to see her house mates on finale night. By the time her exit interview was over I was sad to see her go.

My Player of the Week:
This week was hard to choice my player of the week. Not one single person made any big moves it was more of a group decision. I ended up debating between my 2 least favorite house guests and made who my descion my remembering my definition for what makes My Player of the Week, is someone made a move that helped their game. So, this weeks player of the week (I never thought this player would get it) is someone what worked their butt off to stay in the house and manage to sway the house full of people who hate them. This weeks player of the week is...
I want to start out by saying that in no way do I agree with what she has said. With that being said Aaryn did a great job sway the house and making it that she got to stay house.

One of my favorite parts of this weeks episode was when they let Judd out of solitary confinement. The house guest got all excited to see them again. It remind me of John and Kate Plus 8 when one of the kids would leave for a day, then come back and they would be happy to see them again because it was like part of them was missing. It was adorable.

What were your favorite part of this week? Who is your favorite player? Let me know in comments below.
