Pretty Little Liars: Why All the Gasping?

watch-pretty-little-liarsPretty Little Liars came out on Netflix! I was really excited about it because I believed I could be Nancy Drew and figure out who A is! But alas, no such luck. I haven’t given up hope, though! But there are some things in the show that I just don’t understand.

Such as, why didn’t they go to the police when they received the first A text? I never understood why they would keep letting themselves be blackmailed. Why would they keep that a secret when it led to their best friend being murdered? The police have more resources than they do. If they had, they would have never been arrested…multiple times.Their records are pretty lengthy by now.

Also, why do people believe them when they say they’re okay after giving their phone a wide eyed deer in the headlights look? Saying it’s your mom or dad who texted you is the worst lie in the city of Liarville. Worst. They could tone down the gasping too. It looks much too suspicious and it worries me that they might have asthma.

And really, if one is trying to keep one’s illicit affair with one’s teacher a secret, I recommend not making out in the middle of Town Square and also not getting in fights at school…where one of them works…that’s less than secretive.

Also, they seriously need to lock their freaking doors. Why would you leave them unlocked when someone is trying to kill you? That’s an actual death wish. And for the love of God they need to check their closets for evil conniving  black hoodie wearing murderers! There has been more than one occasion where that’s where A was hiding. Did they never read mystery novels as children? Like Nancy Drew, for instance?

Lastly, what’s up with all the gorgeous older men in that town falling in love with a bunch of teenage girls? Is there something in the water? Because I mean damn, that’s super illegal kids.

I have to keep watching it, though. They’ve sucked me into the void! I can’t not know who A is…shame on you, ABC Family!

What I Learned From Disneyland

On Sunday, I went to Disneyland (also known as The Most Magical Place Ever) with my  lovely sister! Everything was full of Disney magic and wonderfulness.  But I did learn a few things between rides and delicious junk food, such as:

1. Childrehauntedmansionn under the age of about six don’t like dark rides, they’re actually deathly afraid of them. Well, beforehand at least. There was this adorable little princess( she was dressed as Sleeping Beauty! So cute.) in front of us in line and she was absolutely petrified! I didn’t realize  kids were petrified of cute tiny dark rides.

2. Splash Mountain is full of splashes of  water! Shocking, I know. But really, I didn’t actually believe I would get splashed or wet, for that matter. I don’t know why I thought that. I mean, the ride is called Splash Mountain for Heaven’s sake. It’s full of moving water  on a mountain! When we got off the ride we were both rather soaked. My poor purse…

3. Ice Cream Parlours do not give you enough napkins! Also,where are the tables? There were like three tables and lots of elbows to the ribs to get just one! Grace and I were sent out into the cold with our sundaes like sad puppies. Which is when my sundae thought it would be a fabulous idea to drip upon me. No big deal, I thought..I’ll just go get some napkins. Oh wait…they don’t have any napkins. One would think children spill ice cream all the time, why no napkins Disneyland?

4. Souvenirs are expensive. I mean they were wonderful souvenirs but I feel like Minnie Mouse ears should  never cost twenty dollars. Although, the Minnie Mouse ears were super cute and so worth it. You must have Minnie Mouse ears if you want the full Disneyland experience!

5.Mothers and Fathers enjoy dressing  up their tiny children in the most adorable costumes ever. Grace and I sat behind a family where there were two little boys; One of them was dressed as a Prince – he was very dashing in my opinion. The other little boy was dressed as Indiana Jones! They were too cute. Also, there was a  tiny girl child dressed up as Mary Poppins! By the way, Mary Poppins was definitely not a cocaine dealer to little children.So please, children of my generation, stop ruining my childhood with your drug insinuations.

6. Some children rides are vastly inappropriate for children, such as the Snow White ride. That ride was terrifying! The Evil Witch Queen ( I don’t know her name so that’s what I’m calling her) would just pop out at you! And there was lighting and wolves! Were they  trying to give tiny healthy children heart attacks? Because if so, they succeeded by giving a sixteen year old a heart attack.

7. The last tidbit of information I learned is that The Pirates of the Caribbean, Peter Pan,  Haunted Mansion, and Indiana Jones rides were by far the best and most magical ones.

It was a very educational adventure for me, might I say.

Hello California, I Quite Like You.

217_001Ahh! I’m a horribly terrible blog poster person! But c’mon y’all…SUMMER IS HERE! Honestly, if I had to continue going to school for another week, I would have just jumped in front of a moving school bus. I’m completely serious..kind of. Not really…but still. Summer really needed to come and it did! Thank God.

Now, I am in the lovely state of California! I’ve been here for about a week and I’m hopelessly in love with it. Why can’t I just stay here forever? No one sweats to death here, like they do in Texas! California is just too wonderful. We’ve been visiting some colleges here and I can definitely say that I would kill a small elderly rodent, if that meant I could attend college here.

I would much rather attend college in California than in Texas. I know I’m supposed to have Texan Pride and want to live there forever and all that jazz…but I don’t. I don’t believe that Texas is just the best state ever. It’s up there, but it’s not the best. It’s far too hot in the summer and there are entirely too many wannabe hicks and well..actual hicks. So, I’m giving the Best State Ever Award to California. Because it’s beautiful and there are pretty beaches and fresh strawberries from farmer markets!

Also, I’M GOING TO DISNEYLAND TOMORROW!!!! I’ve apparently been before, but that was when I was about two so I have no recollection of this. Well, no, that’s not quite true. I remember leaving my Mickey Mouse hat on the bus…which was a terrible life altering moment for Two Year Old Henrietta. So I need to make a better happier memory than that one! I’m rather excited, because I’m sixteen and I’ve never ridden a roller coaster before, which is just not right, So, wish me luck! I might vomit.

Cheers!
