When You Wish Upon A Star

Well, the title makes me feel like Jiminey Cricket, lol, but that's okay.

I saw a shooting star tonight. I like shooting stars, I think they are absolutely beautiful. I was walking home with my cousin, Abby. She told me to make a wish. Hmm..... dare I say "How cliche"? I might have, I'll admitt it. But I did make a wish. I won't share. But I made a wish. Besides, wishes rarely come true, so it's not a big deal. Even still, I wonder what this magic will bring me.

One time when I was little, I wished upon an airplane. I think it was the best wish ever. Even if it was on an airplane, my wish was pretty great. I don't know whether it was a great wish in itself, or the feeling making the wish gave me that was great. But whatever it was, my wish came true. Maybe people would have more luck if they wish on airplanes instead... who knows?

I watched a meteor shower not too long ago. Technically, it wasn't a meteor shower; it was the Earth passing through a giant ring of dust that circles the sun and the particles of dust were the shiny flying things in the sky =P. But it was amazing. Did I wish? Yes, I wished a lot. But my wished didn't come true in the way I had hoped. They came true in mysterious ways. I saw about 15 shooting stars that night, but I really only made a few wishes.

Thing is, a part of me doesnt even believe in making wishes. I think you have to go after what you want and not let pure happen-stance solve everything. I can be a go-get-er. So maybe making the wish was the first step in going after what I really want/need. Maybe I made the wish because I didn't think I'd ever be able to get that, and it was my only chance because I had been trying. Maybe I made the wish to give myself a ray of hope that could lead me to getting what I want/need. Who knows?

All I know is that on my wall, the large part of me that relies on fate wrote "Make a wish... and Believe in it." I heard that on a philosophical tv show that's not really philosophical at all. I find meaning in everthing =). But, if you don't believe in things, in yourself and in your wishes and desires, then its hopeless. And even though I believe whole-heartedly in this philosophy, I'm pretty hopeless. =)

"When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires will come to you
If your heart is in your dreams, no request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star as dreamers do
(Fate is kind, she brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing)
Like a bolt out of the blue, fate steps in and sees you thru
When you wish upon a star, your dreams come true"

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Today. Was it good? Was it bad? Was it ugly? The answer is yes to all of those questions.

The Good: I got to go to Adventureland (amusement park)
The Bad: I've been there before this summer and there was nothing new/fun.
The Ugly: It was beyond lame.

The Good: I went with Abby.
The Bad: Her parents went too.
The Ugly: I'm actually related to them. (lol)

The Good: We didn't have to stay with her parents because of advanced technology (cell phones).
The Bad: I was the only one with a cell except for my aunt.
The Ugly: The first hour we were there, my cell flew out of my pocket on a ride and into a giant pool of water (I almost cried).

The Good: Her parents let us roam on our own still.
The Bad: It was still really lame.
The Ugly: I had no cell phone T_T.

The Good: We managed to have fun even though it was lame.
The Bad: We stayed there for a long time.
The Ugly: I still had no cell phone.... =(

The Good: We left and went to Tasty Tacos.
The Bad: There wasn't much bad; they had good tacos.
The Ugly: I hate to be redundant, but I had no cell phone.

The Good: We then decided to go to Goodwill.
The Bad: It was closed.
The Ugly: It would have been the highlight of our day ;). Oh, and I had no cell phone.

The Good: We found a Salvation Army.
The Bad: My uncle almost ran into it with the Jeep.
The Ugly: I was still really wet from the rides at the park, and my phone still didn't work.

The Good: The store was amazing! I'll admit it, those kinds of stores are my favorites, and I found a lot of great stuff there.
The Bad: (Well, actually "The Sad:") We had more fun there than at the park.
The Ugly: There was a horrible smelling person there. I honestly couldn't breathe when I went into the changing room after this person. It hurts my nose to think about. It was beyond bad.

The Good: When we got done, we came back home.
The Bad: I almost fell asleep and it was only 8:30.
The Ugly: I still have no phone....

But I have faith that after it dries off completely, it'll be okay. I'm going to test it out tomorrow morning... I'm really really sad... I miss it...

But even though my day seemed as if it would suck, I had a pretty great day, despite everything. It was pretty good.

Yay team.

Happy in Love

Happiness is the flickering fire that warms your cheeks on a cold night.
Love is the warm fuzziness you feel when he kisses you.
Its when you look into his eyes
and when he smiles at you for no reason.
Happiness is when you can dance when you want to.
Love is when he dances with you.
It smells like fresh morning dew
and the burning embers of a toasty fire.
Happiness is a nice bowl of ice cream.
Love is the warm caramel and the cherry on top.
It happens when you sing a happy song
and make up your own lyrics.
Happiness is a nice cozy bed that is more relaxing than anything.
And Love is the fluffy comforter that wraps around you on cold night.
