Every time I watch a movie I have to worry, “am I going to be ridiculed for watching this?” Some people think they know a good movie just by the trailer, director, actors, or company that’s making it. Anything aired on Disney is scoffed at. Films featuring Hilary Duff, Miley Cyrus, Emma Roberts, Lindsey Lohan, or any other “teen” stars are mocked. But why? What exactly is a “good” movie? Well, let’s start with the definition of a movie. According to dictionary.com a movie is a motion picture; a genre of art or entertainment. Hmm… interesting. So does that mean for every movie to be good it must contain life altering themes, artistic camera angles, and precise graphic effects? I don’t think so. The movie industry’s main purpose is entertainment. I don’t care how artistic your movie is, if it’s boring then I don’t like it. Each movie is made with a purpose. It may be to entertain a bored little girl on a Friday night, to inform the community that global warming is happening and will kill us all, scare kids at a sleepover, or anything else. And let’s face it, every movie has a message. Whether it’s that we should live by the writings of thoreau or that you should believe in yourself, it’s there. Sure you can argue that some movies are made just to make money, but I think that’s in the plan for every producer. I think movie snobs need to open their eyes. There’s a lot more out there than what they’re seeing, and it’s important to be well rounded. How can you revile High School Musical if you’ve never seen it? So stop insulting me for submerging myself in pop culture. It’s only going to be the 00’s for a little longer and I want to experience it all.

“When I grow up I’m going to be lots of things- a doctor, a veterinarian, write books, make movies, be a hairdresser, and um a pet shop owner! And a Teddy Bear Rally owner to sell teddy bears and take one home for myself too.”~Me at the beautiful age of Four
This is the only recorded quote I have referring to my future aspiration(s). I also remember wanting to be a movie theater owner, an actress, a singer, and a chef.
But what do I want to be now?
1. An exotic animal veterinarian
2. Movie director/producer
3. FBI agent
4. Animal dietician
5. Actor
6. Author
7. Small animal veterinarian
8. Lawyer
9. Fashion Designer
10. Inventor/Engineer
11. CEO of a business
12. Food Inventor (I don’t know the specific title)
13. Princess
It’s funny how my idea of the perfect job(s) hasen’t really changed. They just have more complicated names!
The Number 11 is very unlucky. Worse than 13 and worse than 12 (yes 12 is unlucky as well). Just thinking about that horrible double digit makes me want to curl up in a box and cry. If 11 has yet to damage your soul this is a warning. DON’T TRUST IT! This often overlooked figure is on the move and attacking fast. Here’s how it’s ruined my life:
1. The 11th grade: the most painful year of schooling I hope to ever endear. Tragedy lurked behind every classroom door I dared open. Some classes my brain melted under the heat of stupidity and my face hurt from the “duhhhh…. look” that molded into my face as soon as I walked through the door. Other classes were challenging. It was like riding a roller coaster of intelligence.
2. My dog died of cancer when she was 11 years and almost exactly 11 months. (1 more day would have made it exact)
3. 11:11 Everyone always tells me to make wish. I do. Does it ever come true? NO!! This number is taunting us I tell you! Every time you make a wish it laughs hard and long.
I hate 11.
