I am part of the era of N Sync, Backstreet Boys, Dream Street, S Club 7, Hanson, and Britney Spears. I grew up listening to MmmmBop and Hit Me Baby One More Time. I danced around in my room like a crazed obssessed fan and I dreamed of meeting Britney Spears. As we speak I am listening to Tearin' Up My Heart by N Sync reliving the memories of being a little kid idolizing them.
I remember when the must-have McDonalds "toy" was a cd/dvd of N sync and on the cover was a clip from the music video Bye, Bye, Bye. Every girl HAD to have it! When I got the CD I listened to it nonstop. It only had a few songs on it, but I was in awe at how great they sang. I develeoped a crush on the main dancer and singer JC. I thought he was the cutest guy alive. One Christmas I got a N Sync play cell phone and it would talk to you in the singer's voices if you dialed the numbers. It was seriously the best gift ever by far.
Enough about the boys. Let's talk about tte girls. You have the famous Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Madonna, Hilary Duff and Destiny's Child. These girls were upbeat and girl powered. I turned the songs on a jammed to them when i was like 12. I still recall that I had a lot of posters all over my room of Hilary Duff and Britney Spears. When my neighbor and I would get together we would make routines to songs like Say My Name by Destiny's Child or Stronger by Christina Aguilera. Those were som good times we had dancing and singing our little hearts out all day.
For what it is worth I ocassionally take a walk down memory lane and search YouTube for old songs I used to listen to just to remember them so that when I am older and have children that I can say, yep, this is what I used to listen to when I was younger. I dare you to go and search YouTube for songs that were part of your childood!

BOO.
Halloween 2011 is growing near. Get out the candy, better watch the 13 Nights of Halloween on ABC Family, and haunted houses. I am usually not a big fan of halloween anymore now that I am older, but so far it seems that this will be the best yet! I have had a whole lot of fun and I can't wait until October 31, 2011.
I remember when I was younger I would go trick-or-treating with my parents until I felt like I had enough candy that my stomach would hurt for days from the sweet treats. I loved dressing up and go out for hours with my brother and mom and dad. I was a witch, the pink power ranger, a wizard and a cat are the best costumes that I remember. I think I went trick-or-treating until I was 13. I would have went for a couple more years, but mom said she doesn't like the big kids coming to our house so she didn't want me to go anyrmore. That was a sad day.
The 13 Nights of Halloween on ABC Family starts October 19th and runs through October 31. Some of the movies included are Hocus Pocus, the original Willy Wonka, the Haunted Mansion, and a few of Tim Burton's famous works such as the Corpse Bride, the Nightmare Before Christmas aned a re-make of Willy Wonka. There is also Bewitched with Nicole Kidman, Practical Magic with Sandra Bullock, and the premeire of Coraline. My favorite movies are Hocus Pocus, all of the Halloweentown movies on Disney Channel, and all of Tim Burton's films.
This year I went to a haunted house for the very first time ever. The haunted house was the Dominion of Terror, It was pretty freaking freaky that is for sure! When my friends and I got there we were greeted with a woman and a man who were dressed in clown costumes. They would come near us if we were scared, or even if they had not come by us in awhile. They blew in our ears, and would let out a loud shrek. I honestly think that was the freakiest part. The haunted house itself had different area with different scenarios. At the end, we were chased out with a guy with a chainsaw. The Dominion of Terror was an experience of a lifetime and I will definitely go back next year!

That Bugs Me
Azor says, Okay so I am assigning you a behavior essay due next Tuesday." We get a sheet with all these common annoying things. The list has 25 things that just bug the crap out of people, but I know there are thousands more that should be one there. Some of the things are just so ridiculous, but then there are ones that everyone can relate to as being a severe pain in the butt.
My top two annoyances from this list would have to be (1) Drivers who don't use a turn signal and (16) Guys who leave the toilet seat up. So when I am driving, or anyone who hates this, I always put my blinker on because I was taught that is just driving ettiquette when turnin. I am not sure why people don't use their blinkers, but all I know is that it makes me so pissed. I am not a raging driver, but I mean come on people. Are we seriously in that big of a rush that we cant put out signal on. It takes two seconds, and it will prevent you from getting hit. Go figure!
As for guys who leave the toilet seat up, that is just gross. I have had two times when I go to bed during the night and I fell into the toilet. Give me a little mercy I was half asleep. I hate when my brother and my dad leave the seat up. It is rare, but when it happens I flip a shit. I don't need to see what is under the seat. All I want is the seat to sit on!
Annoyances are a great way to get ideas for a behavioral essay because all of the things that make me angry are things I want to change about people. Toilet seats and lazy/in-a-hurry drivers are only a few from the list of . Care to and any annoyances? GO FOR IT.

You make me feel like I'm livin' A TEANAGE DREAM.
Katy Perry makes me wonder what I did last friday night when she sings about fireworks and teenage dreams. Whether you are a dude or a chick of my generation, you know these songs. Hell, our parents know the words just as well as us. Ms. Perry is booming from the window-rolled-down cars we drive and through our iPod docks. I saw Katy in concert this summer at Summmerfest 2011 and I am proud to say that I sang every word loud and on key. Well on key for the most part. Last Friday Night, Firework, and Thinking Of You are only three of my favorite Katy Perry chart toppers, but they are the most meaningful in my opinion.
Last Friday Night(T.G.I.F) is Katy's newest tune and I must say that it is upbeat and gets stuck in my head numberous times a day. It is just one of those songs that is associated with partying and I am pretty sure that it is played at least once at the homecoming dances that are at the high school events. I jammed all summer to Last Friday Night with my friends. Car, house, on the lawn, wherever, we blasted it and sung our hearts out. the music video is classic. You have the nerdy girl with braces who gets a make over and gets fawned over by all the hot guys and then gets wasted and wakes up the next day like, "OH SHIT. What happened last night?" It is so good and definitely gives the song a great image.
Firework is more of a heartfelt, more emotional song. It is still upbeat and catchy, but with a motivating message. The song says that everyone its like a firework because no matter what you have been through in your life, you always have that potential to have your moment and take control and make a change. Firework is so inspirational and the video is phenominal. It is petty close to the epitome of the saying "You can do anything that you put your mind to." It is fun and cool, yet it so emotionally enriched.
Thinking of You is more of a ballad that describes a relationship that is not entirely shared by both people, then she moves on to a new guy and finds that she can't stop thinking about ther other man. It sounds confusing, but it is just your typical romance movie plot, for example the Notebook. Its a very nice song and I know every word so when I get in that sad, hopeless romantic mood, I play it loud nad just belt out the words.

Romance?
So tonight I was with my boyfriend, Tyler, we were discussing romance. I would ask, "Are you into the whole romance thing? I know I am, but are you?" He would reply very casually saying, "Yeah, I think I am. I know that I like it, I just am not always the most suave at it sometimes." Romance to me is in so many forms and ideas that no one can ever not be a true romantic.
I would consider myself a hopeless romantic. Why you may ask? I believe this becasue I am the type of girl who can watch The Notebook over and over again and still go AWEEEE at all the lovey dovey parts. I wish that someday I will literally be swept off of my feet and have that super long and passionate kiss in the rain, but then reality sets in and I find out that when you go in for a kiss you actually do sometimes bump heads and the moment is not like the movie.
On the other hand, you have Tyler who likes the romance, but it is not need every moment of the day. I guess that is just a guy's perspective. Guys like being all sweet and lovey dovey, but at the same time they just want to sit and play video games and not worry about being romantic every time you are out together So I guess Tyler is a more "In the moment" kind of guy.
Whether a hopless romantic or a go with the flow kind of person, romance is always there even when you just play video games the whole time. It is all around you and in the littlest times and mannerisms is when they really come out. Watch The Notebook or play Black-OPS, romance is there too!
