Incredible Detectives Make Me Smile :)

These detectives I speak of go by the names of Shawn Spencer and Sherlock Holmes. I watched Sherlock Holmes a Game of Shadows tonight, and I realized how alike Shawn and Sherlock are. They are both people who have incredible abilities to see every detail around them and be humorous while doing so. The only difference is, Shawn pretends he is a psychic so he can get a job, whereas Sherlock just says screw this, I'm british and awesome. Who needs money? But he somehow still seems to have money, which I feel like he just scams people out of and mooches from Watson. Watson and Gus are alike as well, they are the assistants who are still awesome and who have actual lives outside of the detective/psychic work. Watson gets married, Gus works as a pharmaceutical salesman, they would still be set for life without the fun work they do with Sherlock and Shawn. But the real question is, what if Shawn and Gus and Sherlock and Watson met?

I feel like Shawn would get punched in the face then friended, because that is just how strange Sherlock is. Sherlock would probably also realize how Shawn is a fake psychic who has the same type of abilities as he does. Except, Shawn can kind of see the past from things he finds, and Sherlock can see what will happen in certain situations, so they are kind of the opposite. Which is strange, because Shawn advertises himself as someone who can see the future, but that person is really Sherlock. A bunch of people have things all over the internet about how Psych and the Sherlock movies are similar but I could only read like one of them because the school computer blocks everything and I am too lazy to use another device with internet. But, because I came up with the idea very recently, mine is obviously the best idea. Don't tell the others though. I now realize that my post was about how they make me smile, and I haven't really said anything about that. So, let it be known that everything I have said above makes me smile, and I hope that incredible detectives like Shawn and Sherlock make you smile :)

My Soccer Team Makes Me Smile :)

So I had a soccer game today in Logan, and we won! I am so happy but also really tired. I played the whole game, which I like because I like starting and I like finishing. Basically, I only need a break in the middle, and we call that halftime. Overall it went pretty well. It was our first win of the season, we got a shutout 3-0. One goal was good timing, the other was a penalty kick, and the last was a rebound. Julia from the blog Just Julia scored the first two, Caitlin from The Li'l Bro Blog scored that last one. It was really great. But that isn't the reason my team makes me smile, because that was our first win of the season. We have had four games total. You can check out our stats here. Be warned, we have been sucking so far, we are last place. I don;t have a picture of our current team, so here is one of our team last year:

Most of us are looking at a different camera, but your get the jist. 
The real reason my team is so great is because we are basically just awesome people. Everyone on the team is funny and we get along really well. Our coach says we are a team of boys, because apparently we act like them. I always see stuff on Pinterest and iFunny about how girls compliment each other and don't mean it and guys insult each other and don't mean it. We are more like the second one, which is why we work so well together. Nobody gets easily offended, there is no drama, and we aren't afraid to push each other around. Which translates well to the game, because we play extra aggressively against the girls we don't know. As Lindsay from the blog Living Life as Lindsay says, yellow is our favorite color! Getting a yellow card is like getting a gold metal. As long as it's a good one. If someone hurts one of our girls, we will get back at them, and if that results in a yellow card than that is the best kind. If it's just tapping someone and they flop, it's still pretty good, just not as rewarding. On that note, I bid you ado and remember to smile, smile, smile :)

Wizards of Waverly Place Makes Me Smile :)

Quite recently, Disney came out with a new Wizards of Waverly place movie. It was literally the highlight of my life. So far...hopefully. Anyways, it was so great! Alex became the family wizard, Max owned the Sub Shop, and Justin was the professor of WizTech! Of course, you already knew that. And, knowing Alex like I do, I figured that she would get into a lot of trouble with all that power she has. I was not disappointed. (SPOILER ALERT: the whole rest of this post has spoiler alerts about the movie) See, Alex is very irresponsible with her magic, and her parents have been getting on her case about it. I can't blame her, I mean if I had that much magic I would go crazy. But, she was fed up with them, so she decided (with a little persuasion from Dominic, the hot bad guy) to cast out all of her bad parts. Dun dun dunnnn......

Wizards Now...

Wizards Then! (aw, look at how little they are!)

This choice was not the best, because her bad self found a way to escape and take over the world. Oops. She started capturing her family and friends in little beads on her charm bracelet, for leverage. The thing is, bad Alex was just a piece of Alex, so she didn't have as strong of power as good Alex did. Dominic and bad Alex (I'm going to call her BA from now on, and good Alex GA) came up with a machine that imprisoned mortals in beads. I guess they had a theme, or they just loved jewelry. So, GA had to come up with a way to stop BA and Dominic without losing her loved ones forever. One little snag, right before GA's plan was about to take place, the Crystals of Justice intervened. They thought GA did all the stuff BA did because, well, she kind of did. I mean, it's the same person, right? And they found her guilty, but Mason went all werewolf on the bead he was in and escaped, and then broke GA out of her holding cell. Eventually, GA defeats BA by casting off her own powers, which made BA's go away too. The Crystals of Justice came back and almost didn't give her back her powers, because she endangered the world so many times, but they did eventually. Bad move, I think, but I'm happy they did because Alex (GA and BA) is like my favorite person ever. So yeah, that's how my entire childhood came back to life in one single movie. It was only an hour movie, but the emotional-ness of it will last a lifetime. Until next week, relive your childhood and smile :)

High School Musical Makes Me Smile:)

High School Musical, who says we have to let it go? I hope you started singing this too, not just me... You should know that music, because if you don't then you probably did not have a childhood. Sorry. I haven't really let go of HSM, mostly because it was the best thing that has ever happened to Disney. Especially when they do marathons with the movies. I literally just sit down and watch all of them while I sit there and say or sing every single word in all three movies. Except not the third word for word, but definitely the first. It has literally been my dream to have my entire high school get up in the middle of the lunch room and start singing "stick to the status quo whoa whoa whoa, stick to the stuff you know, if you want to be cool follow one simple rule, don't mess with it no no no" and so on. Wouldn't that be the coolest thing ever?

Although I could never see the kids at my school doing that. So, about the actors in it. Zac Efron is super sexy, he always was. Corbin Bleu fell off the face of the earth, so I have no clue what's going on with him. And I don't know what any of the other ones' names are, so, yeah. Oh, except for Vanessa Hudgens, who was recently in Sucker Punch and Spring Breakers. Both were a gigantic massive step from HSM, and I was so surprised to see her in both. She didn't even sing, except for a little in Spring Breakers, but that was like "oh look, lets pretend we're people who can't sing even though we are Vanessa Hudgens and Selena freakin' Gomez".  I'm just jealous, don't mind me. But the point is, last time I saw Vanessa she was the shy, sweet Gabriella and the next she was shooting a machine gun yelling obscenities at people. People change, I guess. Same for Selena, I saw her as Alex Russo, the cute, sassy teenage witch and the next she was in a movie where some girls rob a store and get crazy and decide to go on spring break forever. Granted, she was the one who chickened out half way through and broke down and went home, but it was still quite different. But all that aside, HSM is still a great movie. I'm still holding on to the hope that the lunch table thing will happen. Until then, I hope that High School Musical will always make you smile :)

Smashing Zombies Makes Me Smile :)

Not to be weird or anything, but I have been completely obsessed with this new game Zombie Smasher for so long. I'm really bad at it, but it's so much fun! I finally beat the last level of Story Mode on it, which is level 60. I know, right? The only reason I actually made it all the way to that level and beat it is because a few times a day it will flash up this little message saying "Hey, comment and rate on this game" and it passes to the next level. Of course, I never do rate or comment, but that's mostly because I'm afraid that if I do, I won't be able to pass anything else on it. Because there is not only story mode on this, there is also Survival Mode and Time Mode. My new goal is to get to level 60 on Survival Mode. It will be a while. But I have photographic proof that I did (sort of) complete level 60 of Story Mode:

Somehow, I seemed to legitimately pass levels 46 and 52. Impressive.

I honestly don't even remember passing any levels past 5, but apparently I did get a few here and there. I don't even know why I really like doing zombie related stuff in the first place. I like zombie movies, zombie shows, and zombie games. I have always liked Zombieland, but the first time I watched it was with my Mom and the first scene was super gory and gross, so she stopped watching it so I did too. Then I watched it again and it was fantastic. I've been watching some Walking Dead, like most of the new episodes and the first season. I watched most of the second season before it got kind of dry and boring. My brother is the one who really likes that show though, so he advised me not even to watch the third season. That was supposedly the worst. I wouldn't know. And so anyhow, I got this game because I was really bored so I was searching up every random word that came into my head on the app store. This was the only good app that came up. So, yeah. That is my zombie story. Then I turned into a zombie, but only when I feel like it. It's usually always in the mornings. On that note, please tell me that it isn't just me who likes zombies, and other weird random stuff like that makes you smile :)

My Friends Make Me Smile Part 2 :)

Tonight, I am at my friend Sonja's house. In case you were curious, here is a link to what her name means and how popular it is. Fascinating. And yes, I am writing the blog while I'm with her. I'm such a cool friend. But it's no big deal, because she is busy showing me how many tank tops she owns. It's really an exciting life. But on the bright side, when we are done with this stuff she is going to show me Duck Dynasty, which I have never seen before. I'm really excited, because I always see hilarious Duck Dynast stuff on Pinterest but I feel like I shouldn't be able to laugh at it because I've never even seen the show. But now those moral implications are gone! I will watch the show and I will be able to enjoy everything on Pinterest! Except the stuff that isn't funny. Which, unfortunately, is quite a lot. But a lot is funny, which makes it all ok. And it's not blocked at school yet. Wow, I really get off topic on these blog posts. It's pretty much like how it would be if I was talking to you in real life, except I would use a lot more sarcasm. I can't really use a lot of sarcasm on the internet, because people will just think I'm rude. When in fact, I'm being rude but it's in a funny way so it's ok.

Sonja's on the right, I'm on the left. She is so freaking photogenic!

This is Sonja and I, because I figured I would get back on topic. Again. We play soccer together, which is pretty much why we are friends, but we are so similar that we probably would have found each other either way. We have a lot of fun throwing turf in each others mouthes when we are on a fake field, and when we are playing on real grass we just throw grass. I'm pretty sure we could make a hilarious reality show if people had the same humor as us. Which they probably don't, because we think that really weird stuff is really funny. But it doesn't matter what other people think, I know we are funny! Alright, time to go watch TV and be unproductive! Hopefully you and your friends have humor that might not make other people smile, but it makes you smile :)

Squishy Pillows Make Me Smile :)

  My bed is made up of six pillows, three squishy two regular are one mini regular. The squishy ones are by far my favorite. Here is the best website I could find to find them, called thefind.com. They practically mold to your body, and not in the weird way that the Temperpudic mattresses do. I don't really know why, but those just feel odd to me. Not as weird as the memory mattress though, that really just freaks me out. Like I would be going to sleep and the mattress would be like "Hey baby, imma make you sleep the exact same way all night as any other night you have ever slept on me". Um, no. I will sleep however I want to sleep, thank you very much. And squishy pillows let me do that. That's right memory mattress, I'm breaking up with you. I'm in love with something else, that makes me feel better than you ever did. Just kidding, because I never really had any memory mattresses because if I haven't mentioned this before, they freak me out. Plus, squishy pillows come in all shapes and sizes. I have a pink cylinder, a rainbow man with peace signs on him, and a soccer ball.

Photo courtesy of: Me! It's about time I took my own pictures again.


Pretty sick, am I right? Way better than any regular pillow that you have to cover with a case to make awesome. Also way more comfy. Its almost difficult to explain how incredible they are. They are literally why I miss my bed every day and night when I'm not in it. When I'm sleeping somewhere else, I'll bring one squishy pillow, but I'm not going to bring all of them. Unfortunately, they would take up all the room in my bag and I wouldn't even have room for a toothbrush. It's a hard life. But, wait can you guess it? Have you guessed anything yet? Nope! It's that squishy pillows make it all better! Oh...you guessed that? Hawkward. For some reason, and I really don't know why, all I have written about for quite a few posts is the media. Movies, TV, characters, parts of books and movies, etc. Too much! So I decided to write about this instead. I now realize that this might have been a good few sentences to start with, but it is too late now. Oh well, on that note, love squishy pillows and don't forget to smile :)
