Smile a Little Monday {31} and a birthday

Just...yes. This is awesome.
 
 
 
If anyone out there is wanting to know what I want for Christmas, this would happen to be it. I want this so badly.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Please say happy birthday to my Boo Bear.
 
 
 
This gorgeous mess is 21 today. Excuse me while I go cry.
 
 
 
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas Eve! Celebrate with your family, stuff your faces with cookies, and just have fun, okay? We deserve to let loose a little after having survived 12/21/12.

i want to be your everything.

 
darling, you are making me fall in love. you are restoring my faith in happy endings. the way your dimples reveal themselves when you flash that brilliant smile sends my heart racing. the crinkle of those brown eyes of yours whenever you laugh is enough to make me smile even on my worst days. do you see how intoxicating you are? has it ever crossed your mind that i might be in love with you? how can i not when it seems that everything you do is without flaw.
 
 
 i would give anything to be your everything.
 
 
 
 
 i would give anything to be yours, to have you love me the way i adore you. but, alas, i am still simply the little girl that gets excited when a swing is available on the playground. i am still the girl who would spend an entire day in her pajamas to have a disney movie marathon. i will always be the girl who believes in 11:11 wishes. i am the girl who loves to be on the receiving end of your hugs and feels protected when she stands by your side. i am the girl who wants to be yours but does not know how to tell you. i am just the girl who fell for her best friend.

12/09/12

Today is a memorable day.
Currently, it is a extraordinary occasion.
Today marks the day that my sisters and I all made it a year without drinking sodas. 
I don't know how I'm going to celebrate, but I know it is not going to be with a Coca-Cola.
Even with the temptation of my best-guy-friend saying that he is going to present me with a 12-pack of Dr Pepper, I do not want any soda. I never really enjoyed the drink in the first place, and I know now that it is possible to live without this substance in my life.
Now if only I could do this with Internet and sugary foods. :P

Have a happy Sunday, y'all!

Divergent's Factions Lowdown

If you haven't read the books Divergent and Insurgent yet there are two things you need to do:

One, read the books. Do it. You won't regret it.

 Two, read this post first. I know when I first read the book I had difficulty remembering with faction was what. Now, I know it like the back of my hand but I wish I had this in the beginning.

* I am going to try my best to complete this post without any spoilers so please bear with me. I know I am going to be leaving some important facts out but this is just so that you will be able to remember what each faction is and what they stand for. *
 
In this furturistic city that is the main setting of both Divergent and Insurgent, there are five factions. Each have different beliefs and different standards by which to live.

(Quick note from JC: My favorite thing is that each of these faction names are real words. The definition follows the nickname of each faction. Extra credit goes to the readers who can use these words in conversations with your friends after you finish the series.)

Erudite (The Intelligent): characterized by great knowledge; learned or scholarly
 
Erudite believes in knowledge. They blame ignorance for the problems that the world is facing. Erudite pursued knowledge and ingenuity for the sake of doing good, but it led to a greed for knowledge. They dress in all blue since they believe it has a calming effect and "a calm mind is a clear mind." This faction supplies intelligent teachers and researchers for the city. They are the innovative bunch and invent everything that is needed in any of the other factions.

Abnegation (The Selfless): to refuse or deny oneself
 
Abnegation blames selfishness for the way the world is now and believes in being selfless. This faction discourages anything that is done for one's own enjoyment. Guilt is used as a tool, rather than a weapon against one's self. It helps them to remember to do better next time. This faction dresses in all gray with their hair pulled back if they are female so that they can attract the least attention to themselves. Abnegation helps the five factions by proving selfless leaders for the government.
 
Dauntless (The Brave): undaunted; fearless; not to be intimidated; intrepid; bold.
 
The members of the Dauntless faction honor bravery and blame cowardice to be the reason the world is now in trouble. Teamwork used to be a priority in this faction but that has seemed to slip away over the years. The people of Dauntless protect the city from threats within and outside the gates of the city. Clothing is all black and do not be surprised if you find some piercing and/or tattoos on these members. These markings are very common among the people of Dauntless.

Amity (The Peaceful): friendship, peaceful harmony

 
Just so you know beforehand, this is my faction. :) My family and everyone else thinks I would be Erudite but I personally believe that despite what everyone says, I wouldn't be smart enough. That said, I strive every day now to become kind and loving like the people of this beautiful faction. Amity believes that aggression is to blame for causing the world to be so messed up so they are kind, loving, free, peaceful, and always play it safe. They hug each other in greeting, they love anything that has to do with music, and they are the only faction with artists. The wardrobe of an Amity consists of red and yellow. Amity provides the city with counselors and caretakers.
 
Candor (The Honest): the state or quality of being frank, open, and sincere in speech or expression
 
Candor seek honesty because they believe that the world is corrupt due to duplicity and deceit. They see the truth as black or white, which is why they dress in only those two colors. This is the faction that provides trustworthy and sound leaders of the law. It is believed in Candor that politeness is deception in pretty packaging. It is this faction's job to train trustworthy and sound leaders of the law for the city.
 
Please oh pretty please read these books? I will love you forever if you do. I am so excited for the movie to be released March 21, 2014 (day before my eighteenth birthday!!!! :D ).

Post Scriptum Two: I actually have Insurgent saved on my computer so if you email me or leave a comment with your email, I will send it to you. :)

Monsters Inc.

So if you haven't heard yet, this post is for you!
 
On June 21 of next year, the second Monsters Inc will be in theaters with the title of Monsters University.
 
I don't know about you, but I'm pretty stinkin' excited (by excited I mean going absolutely bonkers with the anticipation). This was (one...the list is extensive) my favorite Disney Pixar movies when I was little. Boo reminds me of one of my friends and Sully...come on...how can you not love him? He's just so big and fluffy. <3 font="font">
 
I found this on Pinterest this morning and had a complete fangirl moment:
 
I will find this place...it shall become my life's goal.
 
What movies are you excited about for 2013? (*cough cough* Catching Fire *cough cough* I'm sorry, I don't know where that came from.)
