Role Models

Alright, so I have many role models. I want to model myself after so many great people, and that's great! I want to be better, and to have someone or something to model yourself after really helps. Some of my role models? Here they are, and why.

My Mom: Alright, so everyone's role model is their mom, and for good reason too! Of course, no other mom is as great as my mom, and I'm not just saying that. I know I can go to her for help. She can make me laugh, make me feel like I'm someone special in this world, and make me feel like I'm loved, because I am. She teaches me, and lets me learn. She doesn't hover, but she's always there when I need her. She's amazing, and I want to be just like her. I can only hope to be as great a mom as she is.

My Dad: He loves me, and is always trying to do what's best for me. I can tell that whatever he does, he does because he loves me. Love basically radiates off him! He's always doing the right thing, and I love him a ton! I don't like it when he's not here for dinner, or when he goes to meetings, but I know he's doing what he has to. He is active in his calling, and is working hard to make a living for his family. He is a great role model, I love him SO much. ♥

Jesus Christ: He should probably be at the top of this list. Who doesn't want to be like Christ? He love unconditionally, he helps, heals, loves. He is the greatest role model of all.

Trevor: He's so funny, so fun to be around. I want to be as happy as him, and as great a friend and sibling as him. He can tell awesome jokes, and it seems like he's always happy! I love him SO much!

Kristen: She is so happy! All the time! She laughs a lot, and her laugh is contagious and AMAZING (like mine! ^_^) . It's just such a happy sound! She knows that family, and friends are important. She is bubbly, and really fun to be around. She knows who she is, and she knows how to love. I really want to be like her. I also want handwriting like her. ;)

How to Train Your Dragon

LOVED this movie! It was funny, had action, had dragons, had dragons, had dragons, oh, and did I mention? It had dragons. I LOVE DRAGONS! I want one now, but there's a 0% chance of that happening, sadly. ='( Everyone should see this movie! It's amazing!


~Marissa the one who so desperately wants a dragon, but know that it will never happen so she'll just have to get her Mom to buy How to Train Your Dragon when it comes out on DVD

25 little known facts about ME!

• I love history-Yes, yes I do. I really like looking at (and touching) old artifacts. I think it would be really fun to be a history teacher someday!
• I love interior design-The placing of the furniture, color coordinating, creating a balance, I love it all!
• I'm afraid of the dark-Like, REALLY afraid of the dark. If I'm inside, it's not as bad. But outside? Ohhhh no!
• I enjoy being small-Sometimes. Most of the time, I enjoy being small! Just as long as someday I grow tall enough to actually reach stuff. Being small makes me...happy! I feel like some petite little princess!
• I would like to live near the forest-All the cool fantasy stuff happens in a forest. Maybe if I'm lucky, I can see some fairies, right? Just kidding! I do think it would be fun though...
• I'm scared of being alone in the forest-I hate just sitting alone in the woods. I do this often while camping, but I hate it anyway!
• I'm VERY afraid of rattlesnakes, wasps/hornets, and angry moose-Okay, I've never ever seen an angry moose, but I'm still very afraid of them!
  
• I hate spiders-Okay, everyone knows this! But, it's true.
• I think bubbles are amazing-Don't ask why. I like the word, the actual thing, and anything that has to do with it. I want to ride in one someday, but somehow I think that that will never happen.
• I still play make believe-When my bedroom door is closed, I'm most likely trapped by trolls, flying on a dragon, swimming through the sea, hunting mice and voles for my clan, shooting arrows, running away from a fire, talking with Greek gods, making a forest dwelling, becoming a princess, living on the street, leading a war, sailing a boat, or doing something else along those lines.
• I love the font Comics Sans-It’s a cool font, you must admit.
• I love multiples of 3, and hate multiples of 2 and 4-Three is my lucky number. That must have something to do with it...
• I love the number 13-Only sometimes though. Depends on my mood.
• Sometimes my ears randomly ring-Weird, huh?
• I love babies-They're SOOOO cute! AHHH!!!
• I love Eeyore-My family already knows this, but other might not. It all started when we were in Disney World, and I saw a really cute stuffed Eeyore. I told Mom that Eeyore was my favorite, hoping she would buy it for me. She didn't but I realized that I really did like Eeyore. For my next birthday I got quite a few Eeyore things, including the Eeyore that I was at Disney World
• I have several favorite words-Smile, dream, believe, laugh, hope, bubble, plethora, petite, mirage, and frumpled (this one is made up) are among them.
• I have random little phases over things I like-For example: Detectives, warriors, huskies, wild cats, webkinz, princesses, and currently? Fairies.
• I am claustrophobic-Trevor says I'm not, but put me in a small enough space and I freak out!
• I love small(er) spaces-Not too small mind you... But little hideouts and stuff. They're fun!
• I LOVE shopping!-I don't like spending the money, but looking around is fun! Gift shops are THE BEST!!!
• I wish I had a pet dog-Truly, I do. But if I had to choose between our cats, and a dog, I would choose the cats.
  
• I wish I had a pet bird-A parakeet would be nice. Minus the smell. =P
• I love Greek mythology-It's really cool, don't you think?
• I can't think of a 25th thing-Uhhh... So, maybe there are 24 little known facts about me... Oh well! ^_^
