I know this is going to sound like a total cliché, but I hate spiders. Like, seriously HATE them. I’m not a killing person, but if I see a spider, I WILL MURDER IT. I don’t care how freaking cute it may look. Spiders, or arachnids (meaning eight-legged monster) are the one thing that will [...]
There are very few things that make me laugh. No, let me rephrase. There are very few things that make me really laugh. Out loud, and not just to myself. Laugh so hard that tears come out of my eyes and I have to run to the bathroom. I know that if that happens, I’ve [...]
As I’m sure none of you know, today marks the 20th anniversary of a very important day in my young adult life. Twenty years ago on this day, I had been 13 years old for a week. I was on my last half of seventh grade, patiently waiting for that crappy school year to end. [...]
While lying in bed last night, my mind was racing about what to blog about next. And I got to thinking…what would the Harry Potter books be like if Hermione Granger had been the protagonist rather than Harry?

That’s the exact response I got today when I told my friend about a certain movie I have never seen. A movie, I guess, that the whole world has probably seen except for me. Which got me thinking…although I tend to fancy myself an expert on all things movies, there are, in fact, a handful [...]
For the third week in a row, Mission: Impossible 4 is the number one movie at the box office, which proves to the world that people actually still like Tom Cruise. They’re calling it the best Mission: Impossible movie yet, which doesn’t really mean much to me since I haven’t seen one since the second [...]
Everybody loves a good dance movie. Okay, maybe not everyone. Maybe just me. I love movies about dancing. I’m not talking about movies where dancing takes place, I’m talking about movies that are specifically about the art of dancing.
