Twilight

I knew the day would come when I would be sick of Twilight.

I'm not sick of the BOOK series yet, per se, but hell. Where the books take place and the movie locations, they can just go die.

Kidding. Totally kidding.
Forks is a lovely teeny tiny town with overpriced merchandise, La Push is beautiful and cold and super small and Jacob's "house" doesn't look at all how I pictured it, and Port Angeles has a few cool shops, and is just kind of chill.
Oh, and you can see Canada from there. Literally. I pointed and said "what mountains are those?" "Canadian mountains."

NOW. St. Helens, Oregon (movie!Port Angeles) is adorable. I bought a dress from the store that supplied the prom dresses that Anna Kendrick and Christian Serratos tried on, and we walked past the store where they filmed the scene, which is actually a nail salon. It's cute though, they have a couple of the movie set chairs that say "Twilight" on the back and have a copy of the movie poster on the door. Cardboard cutouts of Kristen Stewart are everywhere, and these little ten year olds freaked out and started screaming "BELLA! BELLA!" when they saw them.

Kalama High School (movie!Forks High School) is a high school. On top of a very steep hill. Tyler, the kid who almost kills Bella, he was entering through an exit. Because he's stupid and drives a ghetto van. I stood where the Cullens had stood, felt cool, and that was it.

It's so weird actually GOING to a location where they filmed a movie. It makes the world seem so much smaller and weird and I don't know.

They played Thriller all day today.
RIP MJ.

Yeah. Don't know what else to tell you.

Seattle

Flying over Seattle was amazing. I'm so glad I had a window seat.

We flew directly over the Space Needle and Safeco Field.

Tomorrow, my grandma is taking me, my cousin Kenzie and my mom to Forks. Because Kenzie and I are absolute dorks who need to get this out of our system. What we didn't know is that there's going to be a Twilight Symposium while we're there . . . go figure. I thought there wouldn't be a hella lot of tourists. Hahahahaha. I'm funny.

We'll check into the Forks Motel tomorrow night, and my great grandad used to own the hotel so we got a really good room apparently, and then we'll drive to La Push in the morning, then drive around Forks and just explore.

I love Washington.

My Spring Awakening Dream

I had my first Spring Awakening dream last night. Needless to say, it was kind of ace and amazing.

So. I guess I was in the cast, I don't know though, we never talked about it, and so was my friend Brenna. We're all ready to go to sleep, but like, the room arrangements are kind of weird, and Brenna and I share a room with Ben and I think Anthony. I just remember Ben. 

We're all just kind of chilling, getting ready for bed, and then all of a sudden, one of the dance classes from my old dance studio pops out of the woodwork and starts practicing their recital dance in our room. We all just stare around very confused and a little girl starts yelling at us. 

Ben found someone's copy of a Judy Blume book and stole it, and was reading it in secret to see how ridiculous it was. The girls do their dance, except now there are chairs. 

Ben came and sat on my bed and I ask him if he's excited to go to Boston, but instead of saying Boston, I say Branson, and then he says Branson instead of Boston, too. I correct myself, but he thinks he said Boston, but I say he definitely said Branson and I end up smacking him in the arm. 

Then I tell him someone from my high school is going to Berklee School of Music, which is true, but I don't know how I remembered that in my dream . . . and Ben's all "oh that's cool", and then he falls asleep in my lap.

And that was it. Allow me to be happy in my little fangirl heart.

My Cat

My cat Rory has taken to lying on me in awkward positions. She likes laying underneath my neck, on top of my chest, and of course, she always does this when I'm on my laptop Sid to make it hard for me to type. 

Not that it's not completely adorable, and I love her more than I probably love any human, but seriously, Rory? 

I'm gonna miss her so much when I'm gone next year. I don't think I'll be happy at home until she's with me again.

Belgium. I'm ready to just go now and get it over with. That's a terrible way of looking at it. There are just so many things that are happening HERE that I want to be a part of, but I know it's a great opportunity and it'll just take time for me to get used to it.

And I'm glad I'll get to see Spring Awakening with my sister before I leave. Seeing Broadway tours is how we bond. In tenth grade, I flew to Indiana to see RENT with her, and now I get to see Spring Awakening with her.

Some sisters shop together, but I fly across the country to see shows with her. 

Oh, America. I wish Bush was still President so I was more eager to get out of here. I'm ready to tell Belgium how much I love Obama, and how much I hated Bush. 

Adieu,
