I. Love. The. Nutcracker.

The Nutcracker is officially amazing. I just wanted to say that. I love it. I know that I didn't get to see the ballet at ALL this year, which makes me only the slightest bit mad, but I still have the Super Easy Nutcracker Piano Book That I Got in Sixth Grade and Which I Can Sight-Read Super Easily, and I have the soundtrack, but still. It's not the same as actually seeing it. The composer (I know his name, I'm just not putting it up because I can't spell it), even though he died 116 years ago (yes, I am THAT much in love with his music), is officially the COOLEST person EVER. Except for maybe Johnny Depp. And Orlando Bloom. And Hans Zimmer. And maybe Alan Menken. Maybe. And probably J.R.R. Tolkien. And probably C.S. Lewis. But still. He's defenitely up in the Top 100 List of Coolest People Ever. He's probably top 50 as well. He might even make the top 20. I don't know. If I had to do a List of Awesome People, in no particular order of awesomeness, just a bunch of awesome people, it would go like this:

1. God
2. Jesus
3. the Composer of the Nutcracker Whose Name I Can't Spell but You All Have Heard Of Anyway
4. Orlando Bloom
5. Johnny Depp
6. Viggo Mortensen
7. C.S. Lewis
8. J.R.R. Tolkien
9. My Mom
10. My Dad
11. My Brother
12. My amigos from elementary school (lots of them)
13. My amigos from church/ ASP (lots of them)
14. My amigos from high school (there are lots)
15. Alan Menken

17. Other awesome pplz at church (lots of them)
18. my imaginary friends. you know you have some as well. come on...
19. Fictional Characters whom I love and adore
20. Jack Sparrow. You know you love him. I know he's not under "Johnny Depp," but still. He needs his own place, along with.....
21. ARAGORN! Hooray!
22. Eowyn

24. Hilary Duff
25. Miranda Otto

Post Number 288

You know how sometimes some publishers will compile the first few books of a series into one book? Well, last night at this party/ gift exchange with my friends, one of my friends gave me the first three books of the Vampire Kisses series (all rolled into one copy), and I was up til like 12:45 last night reading it. THEY'RE SO GOOD! AAAAH! And then I went to bed and didn't get to sleep til like two, and then I woke up and I just finished the last half of it, just now. It's sort of like Twilight, except not really, because the main character, Raven, is goth and actually has a brain, unlike Bella. And Raven has hobbies, even though they include vampires, it's more classic vampire than "oh, Alexander is so hot." Even though it is partially that, it isn't the entirety of the book. But it's REALLY GOOD! I just started the second book. It's in the "oh, I'm so sad, the love of my life just left town for good" part. But still. The second book, "Kissing Coffins," is good, judging by all five pages of it that I have read.

AND by the way, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!
