Tuesday Video Challenge No. 13 - I'll Make a Man Out of You

Who doesn't love this song? When I was in senior year we were watching a movie in my Calc. class and there was a quieter part. We could hear the class next to us watching a movie or listening to music and we realized they were listening to this song and we all started singing it. It was so cool! For four minutes I thought I was in High School Musical!

And while I was searching for a good video I found this video below which, I thought, is also worth showing because it's fuckin' awesome!

Polyvore Inspiration

This blog is an outlet for things that I like and want to talk about so here is something that I've found recently that I like and want to show you.

I've been spending a lot of time on Polyvore lately, which is kind of strange for me because I've never been one that really cares about clothes or fashion. Like, if I could I would spend my time naked just so I didn't have to pick out clothes everyday. But I would be much too embarrassed to do that (unless we had never worn clothes like Adam & Eve but that's a whole other post).

Anyway, I found a user on Polyvore whose sets I really, really, like. Her username is lalakay (and you can click on that to find her profile) but she signs her sets as DisneyBound. And understandably, because all her sets portray an adaptation of someone or something Disney-related. With a few exceptions, such as Thumbelina.

I started this post, though, to show you some of my favorites.

Peter + Wendy by lalakay

Carl + Ellie by lalakay

Thumbelina by lalakay

Pocahontas by lalakay

Prince + Princess by lalakay

Mr. Smee by lalakay

Mickey + Minnie by lalakay

Jack + Rose by lalakay

Phineas & Ferb by lalakay

Carl Fredricksen by lalakay

Young Ellie + Young Carl by lalakay

She has a ton more but I really encourage you to go look at them for yourself. And maybe try making your own sets. It's quite fun, even if you don't have any particular interest in clothes and fashion.

"To live...would be an awfully big adventure"

Okay, I have to say it. I'm now incontrovertibly obsessed with Peter Pan. I kind of liked the Disney version but never overly loved it but I just rewatched the one from 2003 a week or so ago and I now love it. I just think it is so amazing. I love the relationship between Peter and Wendy (or Jeremy Sumpter and Rachel Hurd-Wood). I mean for being child actors I think they do such a good job of portraying the nuances of the complicated, and often one sided, relationship. So yeah, needless to say, I'm obsessed. I've also decided I want a tattoo quoting it.

To live would be an awfully big adventure

I love that line. It reminds me that life is an adventure and we have to live it. Sometimes we have to leave through the nursery window and meet the Lost Boys and fight Capt. Hook. So I really like it and it does mean quite a bit to me, already. Only problem is, I don't really know where to put it. It's a little long so I can't quite figure out where it would fit quite right. So yeah (and, I'm sorry, I really need to stop starting my sentences with "so"), anyway. There's another line that I really love, too.

Peter Pan had experienced many joys which other children could never know. But he was looking at the one joy from which he must be forever barred.

That one line always kind of makes me choke up a little bit. I don't know why, but whatever. Don't judge me.
I downloaded the three books that feature Peter Pan on my Kindle. There's two that focus on him and the first one merely mentions him for a single chapter. I think I'll skip that one to be truthful but I started the next one and am now wondering if I should read that one to gain a bit more background.
But whatever, you're probably not interested in my strange obsession with Peter Pan.
And with that, I leave you now.

Until next time love,
Alyssa
