7.) I honestly think that you cannot know for a one-hundred percent fact that you love someone in three days. I think that you have to really know someone, their flaws, their strengths, their good side and bad side before you can fully know if you love them. I believe that you can think you love someone and even come close to love but I just don't think you can know for sure.

14.) I think there are multiple soulmates out there for everyone. I think that there are different kinds of soulmates as well. A soulmate to me is just someone you meet and you automatically feel like old friends or an old married couple, you just feel like your souls or hearts are bonded from the start. I think that you can find friends that are your soulmates and I think you can have romantic soulmates, it just depends on who your heart feels closely tied to.

26.) I think that love is an ability. Before you let yourself feel it it doesn't exist. Love can only be felt by the luckiest of people and until you find the right people to love you can't really feel it. 

28.) Yes I have had a lot of trouble getting over someone in the past. It took me about two months to mostly get over him but with the help of the best friends I could ever ask for I came out on the other side and I've never been happier. It takes a lot longer to get over someone you really love than it took Dan's brother but I also think everyone moves at their own pace when dealing with heart break so that was just apparently all the time he needed.

6.) My favorite cartoon from when I was really young was Blue's Clues and I think my only reasoning for loving that show when I was that little was that I felt like an expert sleuth because I got to "help" Steve find Blue's Clues. I would definitely see it if it was made into a big movie. When I got a little older I found my love of Fairly Odd Parents. I loved this show because it was so funny to me and I genuinely thought that when I turned ten I would get Fairy God parents. This show was made into a movie and it was really terrible but I think if it was done right I would really like to see it.

16.) I very clearly remember my nemesis in pre-school, her name was Gabby and she had the thinnest, most blonde hair I had ever seen. She was the type of girl who would see that you were playing with something and steal it from you if you put it down for two seconds. However the worst thing she did was a very cliche child thing to do, one day when we were listening to a story she grabbed the scissors and choppily cut off about 4 inches of my hair. Needless to say I was not very happy, Gabby has since moved out of Missouri but I obviously have not let it go.

29.) My favorite dinner as a child was spaghetti and meatballs, but the pasta had to be angle hair or I would not eat it and it had to be from a specific brand or I could tell something was off, and again, not eat it.

32. When I grew up I honestly believed that I could be a princess for longer than I'd like to admit. That being said I wanted to be a princess but I wanted to help people so in my childlike mind I created the perfect solution, I could be a princess by day and a doctor by night. That was my dream for at least three years.

37.) My favorite movie as a child was The Last Unicorn. I dont know why I loved that movie so much but I would make my mom take me to the video store once every two weeks to rent that movie. I think I loved that movie so much because everyone my age was watching Disney princess movies and I just wanted to be different which I understand now was a poor choice because I missed out on really good movies because of my desire to be different.

Don't Go Out On Halloween

I knew I was stupid for being afraid of babysitting on Halloween but with all of the recent news and knowing that a scary holiday calls for stupid teenagers playing pranks and trying to freak people out by any means necessary who could blame me. The thing that scared me most was that I couldn't just look out for myself tonight I was responsible for Sophie, the precious four year old I've been babysitting every week for her whole life. I put my fears aside and grabbed my keys wished my sisters a happy Halloween and began the drive down the long winding road to tonight's adventure. I knew Sophie was sick and really upset about not going trick or treating so I stopped at the grocery store by her house to pick up some candy to hide around the house and let her find. At the checkout line the woman at the register had a stern look rush over her pale face. In all sincerity she tells me to be safe, naturally her words linger with me and I ask her why. She grabs my hand and tells me that the Springdale Mental Hospital had two patients escape due to lack of security and they were reported to be very dangerous and have currently unknown whereabouts. I throw down the little cash I have grab the candy and leave as fast as I can. I sit in the car and think about how horribly cliche this night has become, still I'm not stupid enough to believe that any of what she said was true and I chalked it up to another person trying to play into the holiday and scare me. When I finally arrived I was greeted by a sleeping Sophie on the couch with cartoons blaring from the T.V. I sat down next to her and combed my hand through her fine blonde hair until she woke up. She wore the biggest sleepiest smile when she awoke and wrapped her arms around me, I picked her up and carried her to her room. As I sat her in her bed she looked at me with fear in her eyes and told me to tell the man outside to go away. Knowing it was probably a lingering dream I agreed, tucked her in and turned on the monitor in her room. When I sat down downstairs I heard rustling through the monitor and went upstairs to see if Sophie was okay when I got up there I saw her small tear stained face looking up at me she was scared like I had never seen before. She couldn't say or do anything but point to her 5 foot pile of stuffed animals and chillingly whisper the word "clown." I walked over to the pile and rustled the hair of the toy slow and reassured her " see its just a toy" I said to her tucking her back in and kissing her forehead before I left again. I get the door almost shut right as my phone started ringing. I see that its Sophie's mom and reluctantly answer, running downstairs where I don't disturb Sophie. "Is everything going alright?" She questions, "Yeah she's great, she just got a little freaked out by her clown doll but I think thats..." I don't get to finish my sentence before Sophie's mom cuts me off "What clown doll, Sophie doesn't have a clown doll?'' As soon as she said those words I heard the door to Sophie's room slam shut. I drop my phone and run upstairs pulling the door as hard as I can every move my body makes is pleading with the stuck door to open. Eventually I know Im not getting anywhere by this method and run downstairs to call the police. As I start to run down the stairs I hear the man inside say in a chilling tone "Its okay Sophie I just want to play a game." I go back up and yell with every ounce of pent up rage I have "Don't you dare touch her!" I go downstairs dialing 911 and run outside not knowing what would be waiting for me inside. I back out of the house   not looking away from Sophie's window for a second. I turn for merely a second to see my phone enough to dial. I look up and see a man feet away from me dressed exactly like the man upstairs. I stop dead in my tracks too scared to even breathe. He looked up slowly tilted his head to the side while the eeriest grin came over his face. He slowly lifted his arm pointing to the window. I looked up to see the man in the clown costume upstairs wave and loom over Sophie's bed as the lights cut out and I heard a blood curdling scream.

Reely Good Quotes

1.) It is incredibly hard for me to pick just one favorite movie because I'm never in the mood for the same type of movie all of the time. However some of my favorites include Up, because the beginning hits really hard and then the rest of the movie just means so much more because you feel really connected to the characters throughout the film. I also love Clueless because it is very overly 90's and I love it, it is just one of those movies that always makes me feel better when I'm upset. My last favorite movie is The Imitation Game because it is one of the only historical type of movie that has peaked my interest and I truly loved.
2.) Generally I do not really care for movies with an excess amount of violence or very historical movies. The historical movies are very long winded and my interest does not usually stay with the plot the whole time. There are exceptions to this but for the most part I would not seek out these types of films.
3.) I usually watch movies about once a week and it mostly happens on Saturdays curled up in my bed with the lights off. When this relaxing time comes I watch two movies during the day and one at night.
4.) The survey told me that I was most likely to watch movies for nostalgia and pleasure seeking purposes which I found to be very true because I tend to rematch movies that remind me of a good time in my life or movies that make me feel good at the end and make me have an overall pleased feeling when the movie is over.
5.) If my life was made into a movie I would want it to focus on my relationships with friends and family and just everyday encounters and I would want it to capture my life goals and watching me discover myself and what I truly want in life. I would want to be played by Emma Stone because I love the types of characters she plays and I would love to be played by her.
