My most updated blog, would be this...

The Shop Around the Corner (1940) That man is one of my most favorite and cherished actors of all time. Even when I was just a kid.

This book I'm reading is written in the most beautiful way.

“There are few of us who have not sometimes wakened before dawn, either after one of those dreamless nights that make us almost enamoured of death, or one of those nights of horror and misshapen joy, when through the chambers of the brain sweep phantoms more terrible than reality itself, and instinct with that vivid life that lurks in all grotesques, and that lends to Gothic art its enduring vitality, this art being, one might fancy, especially the art of those whose minds have been troubled with the malady of reverie. Gradually white fingers creep through the curtains, and they appear to tremble. In black fantastic shapes, dumb shadows crawl into the corners of the room and crouch there. Outside, there is the stirring of birds among the leaves, or the sound of men going forth to their work, or the sigh and sob of the wind coming down from the hills and wandering round the silent house, as though it feared to wake the sleepers and yet must needs call forth sleep from her purple cave. Veil after veil of thin dusky gauze is lifted, and by degrees the forms and colours of things are restored to them, and we watch the dawn remaking the world in its antique pattern. The wan mirrors get back their mimic life. The flameless tapers stand where we had left them, and beside them lies the half-cut book that we had been studying, or the wired flower that we had worn at the ball, or the letter that we had been afraid to read, or that we had read too often. Nothing seems to us changed. Out of the unreal shadows of the night comes back the real life that we had known. We have to resume it where we had left off, and there steals over us a terrible sense of the necessity for the continuance of energy in the same wearisome round of stereotyped habits, or a wild longing, it may be, that our eyelids might open some morning upon a world that had been refashioned anew in the darkness for our pleasure, a world in which things would have fresh shapes and colours, and be changed, or have other secrets, a world in which the past would have little or no place, or survive, at any rate, in no conscious form of obligation or regret, the remembrance even of joy having its bitterness and the memories of pleasure their pain.” — Oscar Wilde “The Picture of Dorian Gray”

Where were you...?

Even tens years later, and have growing up so much since then, only being in second grade when it happened, it’s still too much to bear. I am in shock still. It’s one of those things you never really get used to. It will always tear apart my heart knowing what happened to America that day, but also fill my heart with so much respect and humility towards those that put others completely before them with no limit. I am so proud to be an American and to know so many heroes walk around us everyday, and we don’t even know, until the time comes to be one. I am so inspired by that and by the selflessness that was expressed that day and all the days of repercussion afterwards. Where were you when the world stopped turning that Septemeber day?

Been SO crazy long since I've written on This blog, cause I write everything on Tumblr, but I'm going to try and put the same things on both blogs from now on...

“Because to influence a person is to give him one’s own soul. He does not think his natural thoughts, or burn with his natural passions. His virtues are not real to him. His sins, if there are such things as sins, are borrowed. He becomes an echo of someone else’s music, an actor of a part that has not been written for him. The aim of life is self-development. To realise one’s nature perfectly—that is what each of us is here for. People are afraid of themselves, nowadays. They have forgotten the highest of all duties, the duty that one owes to one’s self. Of course they are charitable. They feed the hungry, and clothe the beggar. But their own souls starve, and are naked. Courage has gone out of our race.”
— Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
I love reading this book.

Oh, the places you'll go!

Deciding what city to move to is somewhat troubling. While trying to find a city where I can be around at least SOME people who are sharing the same beliefs as me, that I can go to my church and not be the only one there, and where I can be in a good environment but not too far away so I can be close whenever there is a call for auditions, is tough. Thankfully we have good friends out in CA helping us and suggesting certain places that would work for me & my mom. So far we have:

Studio City (which actually fits a lot of what I am looking for, and my mom)

Santa Monica, which was the original plan, i love it there, but if it doesnt work it doesnt work.

Burbank, which has a lot of good reasons too.

Glendale, and were just worried that this one might be to far out.

North Hollywood which was also an option that was suggested to us by close friends who have lived there. 

But, if it were up to me, I would like o really stay out of actual Hollywood. 

Now this is just for the beginning. Were still getting deeper with it. It will take a lot of figuring out, but we’re getting there :) I am still working towards my dream, which I will one day have as my career gets more settled, whenever that may be in the far future, but it’ll happen. My dream is a loft in Venice, CA of course. 

just one of my many inspirations.

James dean is one of my biggest inspirations and influences. Mainly its because when I watch him act, it is truly mesmerizing and I have never been so entranced by someone's dramatic acting so much before. I can't even look away when I watch one of his films. I know he only made a handful and its so sad to have that amazing talent taken out of this world so young, but he is one of the reasons I love dramatic acting so much, and his choice of characters he played, everything he does amazes me, and when I think of the kind of actor I want to be in dramatic roles, talent wise, its him. Aside from people like Elizabeth Taylor and others, James dean has a special place with me. :)

If you haven't watche done of his films yet, I recommend you do, and you'll understand what I mean...to me, he is the epitome of not acting like you are acting. it's so real and honest. Just my opinion, but you should start with East Of Eden :)

Julia Harris and James in a scene from East Of Eden (amazing movie).

Can't begin to describe it...

I really should be getting in bed so I will make this short, but I did want to share with you a few quick feelings about an amazing film I just watched. It came out about last year so maybe some are familiar with it...The Young Victoria starring Emily Blunt and Rupurt Friend, (whom I love both). It Honestly was one of the best films I have seen-and I trust me, I don't say that a lot, no matter how much a love the movies. But this, this film had me from the beginning all the way to the rolling of the credits and still now. Its a beautiful, beautiful story played out so impeccably I feel as though I was seeing the real story of Queen Victoria before me. I smiled almost the whole time, cried (which I didn't expect, and it to, and I wont say wether bad or good tears, when it could be both in its case...) and still was during the beginning of the credits, and I am so happy I decided to watch it. I had wanted to for some time now and I don't know why I hadn't. I Love the actors in it, and so that helped encourage me to watch it, and now I not only left with loving them more, but so happy I got to have this story told so beautifully before me. So if you couldn't tell, I really recommend it. Even though most people don't look at films the way I do, at least that's how it seems, I am just mentioning it in case you get a different feeling from it. I ought be to off to bed now, but this is like a journal to me, and this was too good of a feeling, I had to write it down, no matter who reads it. This movie wasn't predictable at all, but still managed to have what I would have hoped and wanted to see happen. It won my heart. (:

You Think Taylor Lautner is hot???

First you think of hot guys as being tan, buff, nice hair, drives a sports car, etc...

But if you really think about it, You know what truly is the epitome of an attractive man? 

A man who goes on a mission :) a man called to serve :) These are our modern day stripling warriors, ladies! :) 

Me and my sister Desiree (An actual Missionary Girlfriend, her man is in this video..) have been up for the past 2 hours putting this together for ya'll.

Enjoy with an open mind :)

I know, a random post, but I love this video too much to not put it on here :)

News!

So in my last post I wrote a lot about the stuff I want to do, and in my near future, and with the idea of going to China this fall with ILP (International Language Program) with my sister, and that is still an idea, but my parents and I have realized how insane it'll be to raise money for me and my sister to go this fall, and it got me thinking about how there is so many other places I want to go and do and see, why not look into that? So I told my mom that I just wish I could go off on an archaeology dig as a volunteer somewhere, and we talked about it, and we searched it and sure enough we found things that I can do, (and do this august through the fall) and the one we've really looked into has been one in Tuscany, Italy.
I realized that if I were to be able to do that, and in about three months, I would be freaking out, and pee my pants or something! seriously, best thing ever, and so we're really looking into this, and we found also that it is much less expensive as well! Its all so soon to be making an for sure decisions but we're slowly but surely getting there.
The other amazing thing about going there would be that I have family in Italy, so when the im done with my volunteer time, my parents said I could just go down to where they live in Italy and stay with them for a while :) This idea made my little episode I told you i would have into a major excitement, fiasco into a major excitement fit of sorts. Hahah, but really, if just the idea excites me so, I can't wait till I really figure it all out! Keep following up with me to find out and go through this with me! Because no matter what it is I will do, I will do with my blog, I will be writing and never neglecting this dear blog of mine. I want to share my journeys, I feel like they deserve to be heard! This blog is like a journal to me, so I will be for sure keeping a lot more written here once more is happening, and more is happening right now! Did you all know I am graduating this month, a year early? If you read my earlier posts you would, I am just reminding you, because I am so excited and in the immortal lyrics of that song, "and I just can't hide it!" (:

Here's a picture of Tuscany, and its not liek I will be there on vacation or anything, and I am not saying that a bad thing in any way at all, I am so excited to dig, and to find all that has been left behind for us to find. Just knowing I am there will be all amazement to me. I was actually somewhat surprised when I found this picture of Tuscany because when you think Tuscany you think rolling hills and vineyards, (at least I do), something like this:

Either way, it is a beautiful place, and I am sure even more beautiful when you are actually there. Wish me luck in all I am trying to do! (:

Oh, the places you'll go!

Do you ever feel like there is so much you want to do but it feels like you can't do it all? Yeah I know that feeling. I wouldn't want to do something more than acting though, I couldn't imagine anything else being the biggest factor of my life, but there is for sure those other goals I have, other dreams.

Obviously you all know I have to travel, that's a major passion of mine. I honestly don't think I can really settle down in a life until I do that. The cloests thing to "settling down" I am going to do before that is when I move to Southern California..But that still will hardly be settling down. There's too many places I want to go and too many experiences I want to have before then. I created this list of places I know I need to go awhile back, and I add to it whenever I think of somewhere knew and exciting I dream to venture in. I think I'll let you in on this list :)
(In no particular order, really.)
Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Scotlland, Greece, Italy, India, Indonesia, Brazil, Morrocco, Id really like to go to Saudi Arabia but I don't think that if in the near future I will be able too...ANYWAY, Austria, Poland, Russia, France, England, China, Thailand, Isreal, South Africa, I really want to go into the African Congo, and I am sure I missed some, just because there is so many places, but some aren't certain countries, but just certain places within the country. You see, I also want to go on archeology trips to certain places, even places in the U.S. and dig right into history! I don't believe I have mentioned this before on my blog, which is strange because it means so much to me, but I am such a history nerd. I mean me being an aspiring actress you would think Drama is my favorite class, but really, it's History. If I didn't have a desire for films, and acting like I do, I would go to college for history and minor in Archeology without a doubt. So when I am attending college I think I will Minor in history or Archeology or a double minor. I am just so amazed by the past and how things once were. We read these stories and hear these things that we all have before, but do we ever really stop and think, "Wow, this actually happened in this world that I am living in now..." I don't know about you but it truly blows my mind. I love that knowledge and that through centuries have preserved things about ourselves and humanity for future generations to find and have revealed unto us.
See, I want to go see where the Mayans were, the Aztecs and the Inca's, I really want to spend a lot of time doing Native American research as well. See why I have such a love and passion for period films? Ahh I cannot wait to be a part of one, I mean, ill love acting no matter what roles I choose, but I can dream, right? Just like you have your actors who prefer certain roles, of course I won't be terribly picky, at all. Just follow your ethics and morals when choosing roles and how far you go on certain things. But it's different to say you just would love to be in period pieces. No matter what time period, I love the feeling of portraying that time period. I feel as though it is almost an honor to be able to. Either fiction or non-fiction, I will love it no matter what. Sorry for going off topic a little, it all ties in though :) I believe these feelings came a lot from my parents, especially my mother. Once she graduated college, she went off and just traveled and its grown as a major dream of mine. The love for history I am sure came from my father.
While during my travels, I dont want to just travel and sight-see, no. I want to do a lot of volunteer work, I want to help people, and make just as much difference I can in people's lives. That's why this feeling of going to China this fall to teach english to children there, the idea has completely stolen my heart. I believe every time you do this type of thing, any sort of volunteering service, it builds the content of your character and who you are and are becoming. I think those are the things we should take advantage of.
I Should be wrapping this up, but I just wanted to make myself more clear as who I am and my goals because this is about my journey and my dreams, and how could you really follow it if you didn't know it? So I thought I would make it more clear. Of course, this is just one aspect, but a big one. I did mention acting and film in here so it ties into my strongest passion and what I am all about. Of course, thats till is pretty vague. I guess the only way to really know is to follow this blog, and I'll do my best to help with keeping up with my blog and my life, and writing it all down on here. (: Thanks for reading!


P.S. sorry if there is any type-o's I wrote this pretty fast!

FINALLY.

Yes, we're America, and yes this video is true, and yes, Bin Laden has been killed by U.S. Troops.
I am so proud of our men and women in the Armed Forces, and of America, this man was well overdue for this.
I basically thought of this song right when I heard the news, and its been on repeat.
(:

Family Sunday movie night- The Majestic. My choice :) One of my all time favorites, when I first watched it, I thought this movie must have been made for me, it's too perfect. Its everything I am about put into one movie, and Seriously, Jim Carrey is such an amazing dramatic actor, let alone actor in general. (:

Many experiences

I want to live this life having many experiences and truly living life to the fullest, & you know of the things that I want to do but what if you figured out a way to do those things just in a different order and add another adventure to what your doing? You see, my sister Desiree is going to be doing ILP (International Language Program) and She's going to to China with it. I heard yesterday from her that this same program is now going to have that program in Thailand starting this fall, and it just because of the location being told to me, so much made sense in my mind for a second and all these ideas switched around in my mind like an actor running off stage and changing total costumes in a matter of seconds, I thought my mind wouldnt be able to retain it all. But what I realized is I could do this, and push back basic training till January because I realized, see, that I didnt have too many plans for after basic and tech school cause when I would have gotten out is January and then I wasn't leaving to California until fall 2012 for college and acting, and so I have a Spring and Summer, so why not just do Basic then and travel a little before and do service? I think it would add to the many experiences I hope to have in this life and make a difference in the world, big or small, it's still something, right?
At first my mom said that only 18 yr olds could go, at least she said she thought that, so I decided, if this doesnt work out, then it isn't meant to, but I will do what I can to make it happen if I am able, so my mom called the program and found that if your parents sign for you saying you can and your graduated from high school (Which I will be, in less then two months might I add!) so, so far so good, except the fact that now my family and I have to find funding and donations for this for two kids instead of one. I told her that if that ends up not working, we could contact a family in another country I'd like to visit with my same religion and go live abroad for a little while just for new experiences and to travel, which I would be totally fine with, but through the ILP I can go to the other places and be teacvhing english and helping children in other countries, so I'd love to do that as well. It's all an idea right now but I'm really liking this one. I am not changing my plans, just adding more to them. Because I am not one of those people that change their mind all the time, I just find new and different ways to do things and different orders of doing them, but I am doing them nonetheless.
What do you think I should do? Because how I see it is its another way to travel a little and learn new cultures before I get settled in California and the Air National Guard because I feel I wont travel as much once I'm there, for a while at least, because I am traveling in this life no matter what, just like my mom did. So any advice or comments? I know it has been a while but I am going to be writing more so don't worry about me not writing again for a while again. Whoever is out there reading this, thank you for making the time too, it does mean a lot :)

Something that always strongly affects me.

Defiance

Watched this movie tonight. Had always wanted too. 

It got to me; pretty badly. Really beautiful. 

It seems like people not too long ago were so much stronger than we are now, in more ways than one. I dream to be that strong one day. 

I can’t wait to be able to act in period films such as this, and fully participate in sending out a message about history through my form of art. I realized that even more while watching this too…

I recommend it to anyone, I can’t explain it, you just have to watch it and interpret for yourself.  

A major inspiration to me, I can hardly explain, but I'll try :)

Jerry Lewis.

Going unnoticed has never been my strong suit. -Jerry Lewis

I was raised as a little girl to the amazement of this man. The man and the way he acted, the way he didn't seem to care about how ridiculous he was, but it honestly was a good thing because to this day I have never laughed and enjoyed watching perform, or even, just be himself more than anyone I've ever witnessed. He does everything so effortlessly it seems, and puts being uncomfortable aside; actually I bet being uncomfortable for him is to what someone else would be their comfort zone. 

The Nutty Professor is the first film I saw him in, either that or Rock a By Baby which is my favorite, (if I had to pick one) and I know I was really young when I did, and I had never seen anything like it. Some people would say that about some spectacle of a movie, and of course this movie wasn't that, but I am saying it in the sense that Jerry just took what he had and went with it. He created his characters on so many layers and stuck to it, and made it so convincing and still more than managed to give you all he had in a performance (which was a lot).
As an actress (well, one in progress, an aspiring one) I always have wanted to stick to dramatic acting and dramatic roles, which people think is interesting of me because I am that girl that always is being crazy and basically a "class clown" for lack of a better term. But it has been awhile I'll admit, that I have watched one of his films, even though I never forgot how he mad me feel the years I didn't watch his films, I watched one two nights back, and it was just an amazing feeling seeing pure true comedy, and a pure & true person doing it. Ahh I feel like I am doing a terrible job explaining this, which I hate because I wish I could express how seriously I am effected by this man (in a good way) and how everything he does makes me so happy there was someone in show business like him. He never gets old to me, he's the definition of a classic; he's timeless.
If I am ever asked "Who would you just be a total wreck meeting?" I wouldn't have to give it thought. Of course I have many, many other influences and inspirations but nothing like Jerry Lewis. What I find such a blessing and something I am thrilled about is knowing he is still in this world with us. Think of all the amazing people that have left this earth, but he is still here, and one of the few of Hollywoods golden out there. To sound a little silly, but to be honest, on the top of my bucket list it says 'Meet Jerry Lewis" and of course, if I don't meet him in this life it's okay, just knowing someone was here on Earth like him is all that matters.
He has inspired me more than just acting too, and most I have trouble putting into words, its almost just a feeling you get from watching him. But something that I have really taken note on for me personally is that I grew up as the funny, outgoing, silly, ridiculous girl and as I have grown older I very well notice I have lost lots of that spunk, but mostly when out of the home, so I  know I still have it. It's not like I just shut it off in public, but I never really even gave it a chance and it became a habit, and i didn't even realize when I actually changed. But since I revisited my childhood and was so strongly reminded of how I should be that girl again, no not because I want to be like Jerry Lewis, but because he taught me that it's better to have fun being who you really are and it shows it really got him somewhere, I mean look at it this way, if he would have started feeling stupid and obnoxious and just put off the whole comedy thing than would I even be writing about him now? It just makes you think a little.
I knew I had to write about this, because he, even without me realizing it, has molded me as a person, since I was a little girl and I am trying so hard to describe my feelings on the matter and I can feel it lacking comprehension and understanding. Maybe it's one of those things you see in someone through action? And maybe its just one of those things that leaves you speechless, to where people are just going to have to trust you when you say this has a life changing effect on me, however strange that may sound.
I also want to write real fast on how when he did all those films with Dean Martin, he was more of the slapstick comedy and Dean was more of the clever, witty heart-throb type. But to me, everything Jerry does makes you fall in love with him more and more.
I am truly grateful for the amazing inspirations I have that have come before me and taught me things I would have never learned on my own, about myself and who I want to be in this life. I knew that this one was definitely worth writing about, as they all are, I just had to get this out and share with you what I have been feeling a lot lately since it has been so long since I have written (I'm sorry, so much stuff has been going on, and I couldn't decide on which to write about to if I should just write about all of it) & its crazy this this overruled writing about little things going on in my life, but this is a major factor in my life. It is linked to my number one goal, my dream, what I will do, and also the kind of person I aspire to be while doing it.

 I shall pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again! -Jerry Lewis

      

my love for documentaries lately? :)

 

I seem to be really into documentaries lately, and they're usually related in theme, just like "Born to be Wild" right below, but I am just truly excited for the ones coming out that I really would like to see. When I first watched the trailer for this specific one "I Am" I was pretty blown away, just because of what they're talking about really makes sense, but it a way that you never thought of before. The way the world works with each other and on a level that we don't seem to recognize or communicate through. 

Like they said in the trailer, they started out trying to figure out what was wrong with the world, and ended up finding out what was right about it. 

Born To Be Wild, Born to make a difference!

You really cannot watch this without having a smile on your face. It seriously warms your heart, and I don't think it is just me that gets that effect from it :) The people that help out with problems such as this are such amazing examples of selfless people who dedicate their lives in helping others and keeping the world a better place for all mammals. Yeah I'm not one of those environmentalists or anything but that doesn't mean I don't care. These people are heroic and I think are wonderful examples to anyone. It doesn't mean you have to go out and do this exactly, but help out and give service anyway you can and its going make a difference no matter what.

the weekend culminating in one blog and one inspiration.

So this weekend was a little emotional and I have had a lot to think about, & I know thats really vague, but just bear with me for now. I usually get to focus on one thing at a time, but I have had so many things on my mind and choices I have to think about making. You see, I am supposed to be joining Air National Guard this year and also preparing to be a visiting student at UClA and  doing my cities summer swim team and going to Italy, and going on Family vacations out east, and of course preparing for getting a place out in California for me and my mom to commute to for my acting (and doing that ASAP, the sooner the better) and the closest thing I have to look forward to is graduation in two months, which I am doing a year early for those that don't know that about me.
But what we're thinking is if I should put some of that on hold or maybe not do it at all, in order to focus on my main dream, my most important thing to me, which is getting out to Hollywood and act, audition, network, train, just really making all this happen for me. There are those things which I know I will do in this life no matter what, like travel all over, spend a lot of time in Italy, but when it comes down to it, I need to prioritize and its not surprise of course that is has been and always will be my acting dreams. I can always do the other stuff, and I am going to make it happen. See what I mean by though about having a lot to think about?? I am wondering if Guard would be to much a distraction or maybe look like that to directors, and my mom says I should go out to Hollywood first and see how it goes before doing anything like signing a six year contract with the Guard. Which makes perfect sense to me, its just really hard because I have my heart set on that, but I have to think, what is it my heart really is set on, and always has been and always will? Well I don't have to think twice about that.

Anyway that was a very long explanation of what has been going on in my brain in the past few days, and weeks, and months basically...This weekend, especially after today I just had a really good girls night out/and in with my good friends Brooke and Rika, (Whom I am so thankful for, right now especially.) and we all were on the same page about how there is so much world out there to experience and that we shouldn't let little things bother us and drama that won't matter in a year, let alone a month, or week even. There's so many people we have yet to meet, and share our life with. Were so contained here and we just hold to that promise that there's probably more than we could even imagine out in this world and in our individual lives that were beginning to truly create and live and enjoy out there; you really make your life what it is. I mentioned how it bugs me when people are all down and out and complain with words such as "Ah, I hate my life" or "Life sucks" I just want to take those people and shake em' or something and open there eyes to the possibilities we're given, even just this gift of life is more than we could ever ask for. It makes me truly sad to see people or hear of people who think that way, because for me, there is always more good than bad, you just choose weather to focus on the negative or positive. If you don't like something about yourself, change it. If you don't like the way your living, fix it. It's crazy to think, because its so easy I think we sometimes don't even realize that, and we take it for granted.
I just have to say, that I love life. I love the promise of tomorrow and of knowing I am at least trying for the things I want in this life. I love the mystery of the things I have yet to experience and places I have yet to go and marvel at.
I feel so blessed and I further love the fact that I know I will only grow more towards this idea, and that alone will help me have that extra push and drive to make the things I want to make happen happen.
I am so grateful for how far I have come in this life and that I am just barely seventeen (seriously turned seventeen Thursday) and that just shows to myself I will grow so much more and that I am really a baby in this world and I can make so much happen for me and this is the time to really start planning for that.
I thank my Heavenly Father for this beautiful world and the beautiful and inspiring people in it. My family is everything to me, my mother is the best support system I could ever have and I know I was put in this family for a reason. I know I seem to just be ranting now, but my mind seems to be going 100 miles a minute and I just have so much to say and no form of organization for it all. I just had to vent, not in an angry way but in a "I just love this world and I want to declare it" kind of way :)
Im just sitting here listening to the sound of the rain and wind pound against my warm cozy home, it sounds rough but its almost rhythmic in a way. I love this weather, especially on a relaxing night like this. Im not getting the idea in my head that I should probably go make some Hot Cocoa and cuddle up and watch a movie such as "Only You" or "Under the Tuscan Sun" which I have not yet seen, but it is on the to-do list of movies to watch :) write back soon, and don't worry it wont be a novel ;)

(previous post new to this blog) Liz Taylor, Guys & Dolls and Inspirtaions

I haven’t written for a few days because I  have been so busy with hell week (if you dont know what that is, its another name for the opening week/tech week of a play/musical) I’m in my high schools musical, Guys and Dolls, and we have another show tonight, but thats not what I am on here to really talk about. Actually this blog entry doesnt really have a topic, but, that every night I am out on that stage, I am dedicating it to Elizabeth Taylor. When I found out Wednesday morning that one of my acting idols and inspirations had passed, it brought tears to my eyes. Even though you knew it’d be coming because she was getting older, I’ve just realized we’re almost to the point where we have lost a lot of the true and amazing hollywood kings and queens. My inspirations and the people I hope to be like one day, and to bring back that style of acting.

Woah, so much in only one day!

So my seventeenth birthday was yesterday, and it was fantastic. Just some highlights would be that I had a showing of the musical I'm in last night, I went to a lovely lunch to Carrabba's with my mom, and I found out that my friend Liana Liberatto has two new movies coming out, and I'm going to see one this weekend, called Trust. It looks so good, and me and my mom are going. Also, best part is I got my PASSPORT. :) I am so happy, now Im just one step closer to my travel dreams.
What made yesterday really interesting too, is that my mom opened up saying maybe I should head out to Hollywood sooner than just next year, that since I am graduating a year early, why shouldnt I? Because I plan on joining the Air National Guard? (For all you who have no idea what Im talking about, is there is one thing in life I want to do, and that is film acting. All I can remember I have ever wanted to do, besides my other dreams, this one is number one. I am dedicating my life to it.) So my mom thought, why don't we go out sooner and really make this happen, and start more networking, because I already do know some people, but why no really meet more people and get myself out there? Like I heard once, if you plan to be in L.A. be in L.A. Makes sense doesn't it?

Well, I could write more but I have to finish some schoolwork, and I have another showing tonight as well.
I'll write again soon, I also plan on transferring posts from my other blog that I don't plan on using anymore, because I am fully switching to Blogger :) So you'll hear more very soon!

My birthdays tomorrow and I have showing of the musical Im in tomorrow night to, so I gotta get to bed but here's a little something! :)

 my goal for this actual blog is to just write down all that’s going on in my life since this is such a vital time for me. Graduating a year early in 2 months, joining the Air National Guard, going off to College in LA, but first going to England for 2 months to study theatre, & just all I am working on as an aspiring young girl, deciiding to do the impractical thing, but there’s always time to go back & do the practical..Im going to live & make my dreams happen without waiting. (: so this will just follow my journey & all that comes with it. My names Paris, I’m a huge nostalgic, strong hearted & kid at heart girl (:  that’s just a little idea of what this blog will be about, & I’m not writing it for an audience, I’m writing it for me mainly since I don’t write in a journal, but if you think it’s something you’d like to follow, go ahead & follow :) But i have my senior prom tomorrow, so I’d better get some sleep, cause im gonna be out of the house by 9.30 in the a.m. But anyway! I’m giving blospot a chance, lets see how this goes!
