Life of a Blogger: Favorite Movies and Non-Bookish Hobbies

This is a great new weekly meme created by Jessi!

Favorite Movies!

What I call "The Big Three" 

1.

Release Date: 1999

Favorite movie of all time, right here.  I was eight years old when this came out and it has been my 'go to' movie ever since.  I seriously watch it at least twice a month.  Is that weird?  A little bit?  I don't care.  I went through SO many VHS tapes because I watched it so much that they would break.  Haha.  I will always love this movie.  And plus, I always had a thing for Brendan Fraser.  :)

2.

Release Date: 1990

This movie came out a year before I was born and I probably started watching it around the same time as The Mummy.  Another all time favorite.  It's really corny and sometimes unintentionally hilarious but I love it.  It was terrifying when I was younger, but now I watch it to make me feel better haha.  And again, Kevin Bacon is a plus.

3.

Release Date: 1996

I have a very strange fascination with weather and tornadoes in general.  They scare the shit out of me but I love them at the same time.  So I was about five years old at the time this was released and I know that I didn't see it in theaters but I'm sure I saw it within the next two or three years. And now here we are, I'm almost twenty three years old and I still love it.  Also, I literally cried when I found out that Phillip Seymour Hoffman, who played Dusty, died.  He was my favorite in this movie and he will always be Dusty to me.

Release Date: 1998

Within the last five or so years this has become a favorite of mine.  It is so real and heartbreaking and beautiful.  I just love everything about it.  I want my own Prince Henry.  *SWOON*

Release Date:  2010

I'm so mad at myself that I didn't get to see this in the theaters.  I really don't know why I didn't and it makes me really sad because this is now my favorite Disney movie.  I love everything in this movie.  The soundtrack is amazing, the animation is stunning.  It's just perfect. And is it weird to have a crush on an animated character?  Cause I just love Eugene AKA Flynn Rider.

Release Date:  2005

Oh Mr. Darcy.  How I love you so.  I just watched this movie, I think, last year and absolutely fell in love.  I became obsessed.  It made me read the book and fell in love with that as well.  Ugh, this movie is perfection, I love it so much.  And I love Matthew Macfadyen as Mr. Darcy.  His eyes are just so freaking blue and his voice.  *More swooning*  I have no words.

Non-Bookish Hobbies

1.  Listening to music- Is this really a hobby though?  More like an interest, I guess.  But I will always have music on.  If I'm going on a car ride, I'll have my earbuds in (and a book in my hands).  If I'm playing a game on the computer or on my iPad, music will be on.  I cannot be in complete silence.

2.  Crafty things- I'm not too crafty, but I do know how to crochet and I can kind of figure out a sewing machine.  But I'm kind of ADD about it.  I'll start a project and then half way through I'll find something else to do.  Haha.

3.  Antiquing-  I LOVE antiques!  My mom and I go to different antique stores from time to time and I'll totally blow like all my money on stuff I'll find there.  Old photos, skeleton keys, you name it.  I have a small collection of some awesome finds.  A Victorian curling iron that belonged to a child.  A child's shoe that looks like it could be from the late 1800's to early 1900's.  A pair of those opera binoculars.

Here are pictures of some of my finds

4.  Movies and TV-  I love just finding new things to watch.  Whether it be old or new.  And I love learning different facts about them as well.  Or the individual actors.  I make a habit of learning all I can before I go see a movie in the theater or if I find a movie on Netflix to watch then I always go to IMDb to look up the actors and the trivia of the movie or show.

5.  Roller coasters-  Best things in the world.  I love them.  My family and I actually went on a 'roller coaster vacation' a few years ago.  We went to so many amusements parks in the span of like two weeks.  It was great.  My dad and I love the coasters while my mom will wave at us from down below haha.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this little snippet into my life.  Come back next Thursday and I'll tell you about my Celebrity Crushes and my Favorite Genres of Music!
