International

Alright, in my last post I mentioned that I have some exciting news to share. Here's a hint: it's something international!

Speaking of international, I stumbled upon my monthly page view statistics and

Wow. Welcome to my blog everyone! I hope you all enjoy it!

Busy Bee, That's Me!

Sorry for not posting in a while, everyone! I've been extremely busy.

It's been completely mind blowing, thinking that I'm already almost done with a whole year of high school. And now finals are coming up and teachers are cramming projects in last second and then there's the everyday routine stuff to tackle as well. It gets exhausting, let me tell you.

Thankfully, we're finished with what's called the Worst Thing Ever The Fitness Gramm, which is basically a state-run Phys Ed final. They make you run the mile and push ups and stuff. The only part I actually enjoy is the mile run (I finally broke eight minutes, yay me!) and we did that first, so I got to do the rest with complete agony. Oh well, at least now that it's over we'll get to play games or something for the last two Phys Ed classes of the year. ☺

The rest of my classes are basically preparing for the finals. I do have to write a theatre critique on a play I say (Oliver! The Musical, which the fabulous Thayer did fantastic in) and read a chapter of our English summer reading. Other than that, it's studyguides, studyguides, and even more studyguides.

Am I nervous for finals? Not really. I mean, I'm a bit apprehensive of the Biology final, but thankfully the wonderful Jacob is in my class and he helps me. I'm a bit concerned over Spanish, but the incredible Enjorlas Andrés is a fluent speaker, so if I come across anything too bad I'll consult him.

Other than that, not much is going on. I do have something excited I'm going to share with you in due time, however too many subjects makes a post claustrophobic. Just wanted to write about life.

Happy trails,

Hannah Renea

Rapunzel

Thank you thank you lovely Kailey for suggesting this post! Rapunzel says to detail five things on my bucket list. Here are a couple:

5. Go skydiving.
4. Live in Boston, Massachusetts.
3. Be famous.
2. Publish my novel. It's high time I get to doing that.
1. Visit another country, since I've been in America my entire life. I want to see the world.

The end,

Boo!

Thanks Zombie Slayer Megan for requesting adorable little Boo! Boo's challenge is to talk about a childhood hero.

When I was little, I was the girl that was obsessed with horses and cowgirls and hay bales. All the like. When I was really little, I remember wanting to be a horse when I grew up. I soon realized that this probably wouldn't ever happened so I turned to other dreams and ambitions.

One of which was growing up to become a cowgirl and sing onstage with a band called The Dixie Chicks.

I know they've had some criticism here and there and the band isn't one single person, but still. I didn't want to sing with Natalie or Emily or Martie, I wanted to sing with The Dixie Chicks. I didn't even really pay attention to who the band was or what their music was really even about. All I know is that little five-year-old Hannah wanted nothing more than to sing with The Dixie Chicks. I just wanted to have the opportunity to sing their amazing music with them.

And quite honestly, if I were given that opportunity today, I'd take it in a heartbeat. Deep down, nothing's really changed. I still listen to their music all the time.

I'm still a little cowgirl at heart. And hey, the band's still touring. Maybe I'll get the chance to fulfill my childhood dream.

Mother's Day!

Yesterday was Mother's Day and since my mom is the Fabulous Queen of all Queens, we felt the need to completely pamper her. I helped Mackenzee and my dad make breakfast (and ask anyone: I don't cook often) and we gave her a cookbook by Ree Drummond, better known as The Pioneer Woman on Food Network. Then we spent the day at the zoo.

My mom is awesome. I can talk to her about anything. I'm very close to her, I have a lot of respect for her. I always want to make her proud of me and I think I do a good job. She and my dad are both so supportive of me and my dreams and my goals. I'm so blessed to have such a good relationship with my parents.

I hope my mom had a great Mother's Day, and I wish every other mother on the planet a very Happy Mother's Day!

Also: I'm working on those Disney questions. I have two left, I will get to them!

Dory

An anonymous poster requested this because they liked swim, swim, swimming in the sea! Dory's question: write two good things you can't forget and one bad.

I'll start with the bad so this post ends on a good note. Once in fourth grade this kid told me that nobody would ever love me, not even Jesus. It no longer bothers me, no need to worry. I know that kid was just being a jerk and it was a lie anyway. I still remember it though.

Now that that unfortunate thing's out of the way: two good things!

Someone in particular said my eyes were beautiful. That was great because I've always considered my eyes kind of ordinary. They're just brown, they're not special or anything. This certain person has these stunning blue eyes with golden rings around the middle of the irises. Basically really awesome eyes. And they said my eyes were beautiful. That was definitely a highlight.

And anytime Mac (my awesome sister/best friend in the whole world sorrynotsorry) is proud of me for properly reciting or remembering something Lord of the Rings related. We're avid LOtR fanatics, she more than I. This being said, I just feel all sorts of pride when my best friend is proud of me. ☺

So that's that I suppose ♪

Belle

Thayer's requested that I do Belle as well. Belle's question is if I've ever liked something that nobody else liked.

And I honestly can't really think of anyone. Sorry for the lame answer, but I've honestly been trying to think up and answer and can't. It's the reason this post has taken me a while to upload.

Sorry about that guys!

Mulan

Another request from the lovely this fabulous chikorita, Mulan! Do you trust your feelings? What happened?

I'm guessing the "what happened" part is asking about what caused me to trust or distrust my feelings. The answer to this is yes, I trust my feelings. I think I've got pretty good common sense. I think I have an idea of what's right and what's wrong.

The only thing I'd say that holds me back from completely trusting myself is worry that I'll take things too far or unintentionally push people away. I'm a very weird person. I'm loud and obnoxious and a bit crazy. I like being that way, but I'm worried that other people will shy away from me. I'm worried I'll come on too strong.

So for the most part, I trust my feelings, but in some cases I don't.

Cruella

Shout-out to Thayer for selecting one of my favorite Disney characters: Cruella deVille! Cruella's question is: what is something you really want but aren't allowed to have?

If you'd have asked me this question two months ago, I would've said a boyfriend because I thought I had to wait until I was sixteen to date (let alone the boyfriend part), but after a deep conversation with my parents, I am now allowed to date and have had a boyfriend for about three weeks now. (Shout-out to Jacob! And also Thayer again, who ships us! ☺)

So that option is out. In all honesty, I'm pretty happy with what I've got.

I guess I've always wanted my own YouTube channel where I'd review music, but I'm not allowed to get one. Instead, I recently created a blog for reviewing music, so I'm content with that.

So that's that. Thanks again, Thayer! I'll get to your others on separate posts.
Hannah Renea

Oh, one last thing: that comment box is still open! I'll write about every character that you guys post to it, so keep 'em coming! ☺

Ariel

This post was requested by James! Ariel's question is Where do you think you belong, and why?

There are actually a few of places I think I belong.

I think I belong where I am right now: studying at Westlake Academy. Being a student is an occupation. We're payed in knowledge and a better understanding of the world around us. I belong where I am because I require skills to move forward.

I also think I belong on a beach. A warm, sunny beach with cool, clear waters. I love the beach, I always have.

I think I belong in Boston. I miss it so much. I'm looking into MIT. Turns out they have an outstanding English program, one of the top five in the country. I love the area, I love Cambridge, I love everything about Boston. I will live there someday.

I belong in Madison, Georgia. I love it there too. The farmlands give me a sense of just being home, despite the fact I barely lived there as an infant. I have family there, I suppose that's why.

That's where I belong.

Ask me questions

Alright so I've been getting complaints about not blogging in a while. I was going to go on this long rant and list excuses but I'd rather not because there really aren't any. I just haven't blogged.

To make it up to you guys, I'm posting a question deal done at the bottom of this post. Each question is assigned a Disney character. Comment below a name of a character and I'll write done the answer. Yes, I did get it from tumblr, no I do not have a tumblr. I do have a twitter.

I'm hoping to answer at least a few of these questions, so ask away!
