Short Story
Another roller coaster. That's what it was. Another roller coaster. They were always scary, but since when did they hurt this much? Emma felt her body being thrown around, but something around her waist was keeping her in place. Emma was afraid to open her eyes. She never opened her eyes on roller coasters. She hated them and heights. She even hated that sensation you get when your falling. This was different. Whatever it was, it hurt and she felt as if she was going in circles, upside down. Emma finally opened her eyes. She could see she was in the back of her parents car. She remembered they had been at Disney World all day, celebrating her parents anniversary, but they left before dinner to beat traffic. They had a few hours drive home. Emma remembered she was sitting in the back of the car, reading with her little traveling light. She remembered getting tired after stopping at a fast food place for dinner. She had been sitting in the middle and lay down to take a nap. She was exhausted from a fun, long day at the amusement park. She remembered having caramel apples and seeing the goofy characters in big costumes, and going into the gift shops. She got a Pocahontas t-shirt and that was the one thing she was most excited about. In her opinion, Pocahontas was the best princess because she was a strong, independent woman and fought her own battles. After reliving the best parts of her day, she had closed her eyes.One moment. In one moment, Emma had thought back on her last day, spent with her parents. In the next moment, Emma's temple hit the window and she thought no more.

Team Anna
This is for all you Vampire Diaries lovers. I am totally with you on the whole rivalry between Team Stefan and Team Damon, I'm on Team Damon, but there is also one very special "other" vampire we must acknowledge. Anna-Bell is the very special vampire most people are starting to root for. I am rooting for her, too. Check out my polyvore profile and you can see it's mostly her.
http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/profile?id=1332021
She is my idol. I even made a polyvore group in honor of her. She has such an amazing background. Wanting to be a normal kid but that all changed when she was turned. Then it was just her and her mother. And her mother was taken away from her. She spent nearly 200 years in search of a way to get her mother back. When she finally does, things begin to change. Her mother wants to be the one in control and she just wants to be with Jeremy. But things take a twist when Jeremy finds out what she really is and wants her to change him. Come to find out, he only wanted to change because of that stupid druggie Vicki. Poor Anna. But she jumps right back and her and Jer are kicking it off. In the "3 episodes left" preview you see them getting it on. This is so exciting. Anna is the right one for Jer and they are adorable together. I can't wait to see how it ends up. -TEAM ANNA

Forest
Caw!
The young girl opens her eyes. She was lying on her back on the earth’s dirt. She looks up but all she sees is the tops of trees. She stood up and looked around. Huge tree’s was all she saw, in every direction. It was around twilight and it was a chilly night. She looked down at herself. She was wearing a lacy, black spaghetti strap dress that fell past her knees down to her feet. She had black, fingerless, lacy gloves and was wearing boots. Her long black hair was dirty from lying on the ground.
She was confused. Where was she and how had she gotten there? She tried to think back to the last thing she remembered before waking up but she didn’t remember anything. She didn’t even know her name. She was alone in the middle of a mysterious forest and had no way of knowing how to get out. She didn’t even know where to go even if she did find her way out.
Caw!
The girl jumped. In all the confusion she had forgotten what had woken her in the first place. She looked around, trying to find the raven making the noise. She didn’t see it anywhere, not even in the trees. This frightened her. She was in an unknown forest, alone, and she hadn’t even thought about the creatures that could be lurking the trees shadows.
She spotted an opening in the midst of the trees and walked toward it. She noticed an odd-looking path. It was odd because it seemed to be barely noticeable and hard to follow because it weaved in and out of the trees. She was praying that the path would lead her out when-
Caw!
The girl jumped again and looked in the direction she heard the raven. She still couldn’t spot it anywhere. She was beginning to feel anxious. She wanted to get out of there. As she is walking along the path, she can hear water flowing in a river. She follows the sound and comes to the river. The river was a nice, clear blue. Not the kind that you normally find that’s all muddy and filled with weeds. This was the water you expect to find on an island resort. She goes to the water, crouches down, and puts her hands in the water and cups it to her mouth. It was cold like the air and tasted wonderful.
Caw!
Startled, the girls hands fall to her sides as she stands back up. The girl turned - yet again - in the direction of the raven and – yet again – finds it nowhere to be seen. This was getting ridiculous. She was creeped out, but yet irritated at the same time. Leaving the unusually clean water she turns back to the path.
Back on the path, the girl shivers from the cold air. It was starting to get darker now. She was worried she would never find her way out. Looking ahead, she sees an old wooden fence. The gate is hanging from its hinges. Some of the small wooden boards were broken and it was faded and in some areas mold was beginning to grow. The girl carefully pushes the gate open and steps ahead.
Not so far ahead the girl spots what looks like an old beat-up, two-story house. She runs ahead hoping that inside she will find help. On closer inspection she notices it’s no house at all, but a shack. Once she was up to the house, she doesn’t bother knocking. She slowly pushes the door open and steps inside. The first thing she notices is that the place had been abandoned long ago. The furniture was covered with sheets and everything was dusty. She wanders the shack in search of a phone. She goes upstairs and looks in the master bedroom. Inside the room was a nice king-sized bed. All the furniture in the room was covered. The wooden floor creaked as she walked to the dresser. It had a mirror she could tell because the sheets went up above the dresser. She grabs the dusty sheet and pulls.
Caw!
At the exact moment the sheet went down over the mirror she saw the raven, but as soon as she gasped and turned around it was gone. It was nowhere in sight. At this point she was frightened. She was loosing it. She was cold, scared, lost, and the sun would be down at any moment. She turns and runs to the closet and grabs an old frilly jacket. She puts it on and rushes out of the house.
Back on that godforsaken path, the girl is beginning to panic. She is rushing along the path and from somewhere she could hear the raven cawing, as if it was mocking her. Tired, upset, and on the verge of hysteria she gives up. She runs to a nearby tree and slumps herself against it. She began to cry. She was so upset, she could hardly stand it.
Caw!
The girl gasps and looks up to see the raven sitting right in front of her, staring into her eyes.
The End.

A Very Potter Musical
So I recently watched the musical A Very Potter Musical. I was laughing the entire time. Totally awesome. Loved it. The thing that got me was the character who played Draco Malfoy. It was a girl. Which made it all the more funny. Her name is Lauren Lopez. And she is great. She made the character all the more funny. She has only been in this musical along with Little White Lie. I haven't watched that yet but I will when I get around to it. She is also going to be starring in an upcoming film, Passenger Seat and has also been in The Spiral Project. I just thought I would mention her because I thought she was amazing and made the musical even better. Here is a video of some of her scenes from A Very Potter Musical... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pfm9rrCAdIg (I do not own) Hope you enjoy.

My Movie Reviews
So I have been watching a lot of new movies online lately and I wanna give my reviews.
1. The Lovely Bones. A mixture of things. Sad, creepy, and fucked up, major. I have to say it was really good, though. The stalker guy in it did a great job of scaring the begeebies outta me. Total freak. The main girl in the movie that is murdered I have to say did an excellent job. She was great. Even though she's dead the entire movie, she is still in it a lot. And she was awesome. Great acting :) 
2. Leap Year Really cute movie. I love Amy Adams and she was great. The movie was altogether good but not the best romantic comedy. They Ugly Truth is better (then again I might be biased from my love of Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler but shhh.)
3. It's Complicated One of my favorite actress' Meryl Streep. Awesome comedy. Totally funny especially on some parts. Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin are old favorites to all of us. I especially like Baldwins voice. They both still got it! 
4. Avatar I saw this one in the theater in 3d and it was excellent. Great visual effects and special effects. I even cried from it. The story line was a little too original, though. Anyone remember Pocahontas? Guy from a different culture (or in this case species) comes and ends up fighting for the opposing side from falling in love with the leaders daughter (how ironic). Something else I didn't like about the movie was they made the Marines look like the bad guys. Other than that it was pretty good. Plus, the main guy was hot. Who is this guy ;) 
5. The Blind Side This movie was just completely adorable. I didn't cry but it was still really good. :)
6. New Moon I guess I might as well throw this in. Well, I am a Twilight fan but I still love to make fun of it. I only really liked the books and I didn't even really like the first book, Twilight. But my favorite book is New Moon. Not sure why but I think it has to do with the fact Jacob is in it a lot and I love him. :) The movie was ok. Hell of a lot better than Twilight. I blame Catherine Hardwicke for messing Twilight up. I hate that movie. She did good on Thirteen but not Twilight. Very disappointing. But New Moon overall was pretty good. I love Dakota Fanning in it, as well.
7. Law Abiding Citizen Well this isn't really new but it's new to me because I just watched it. I have to say 'bravo'. For one thing, Gerard Butler was amazing (as per usual) but I loved it altogether. The whole point Butler's character was trying to make was pretty true and I agree with him. I don't think he should have killed so many people, though. Just the two that killed his family. I agree with that shit completely. I cried just from watching it happen one minute into the movie. Loved it.
8. Paranormal Activity Ha. I saw this one in theaters when it came out. I loved it. It made me laugh and jump. The whole theater was screaming at the end. It was awesome. Totally amusing and entertaining.
9. 9 <-- (Lol) So I bought this movie, even though I had never seen it before. But it looked awesome so I figured 'Why not?'. Ha. Bad decision. Shoulda bought Paranormal Activity, at least I knew that was entertaining. 9 sucked. It wasn't that it was so bad but it just had no point to it. At all. The plot was just dumb because the outcome wouldn't change. I mean yeah it was cool looking and stuff with cool animation but it was just stupid. When it was over I was just like...ok? That's it? Wtf. Nothing happened. I was so disappointed. 
10. The Ugly Truth When I first saw this movie in the theather, I loved it. I was really confused as to why the hell it got such bad reviews. Maybe it's cuz imma girl and it's a romantic comedy but I thought it was great. I love the main characters and I just loved it. :)Well, that's all for now :)
