A Thank You

A tiny bit of my childhood is tucked between these pages. The pages of Little House in the Big Woods. I can feel the covers tucked around me or the cool worn fabric of the couch I grew up on. I hear my moms reading voice. Even though I was only three or four she believed I would understand this book vastly above my level. And I did. I grew up being read to, being taught.
I'm a reader now. From the long hours of having the Little House and every picture book imaginably read to me. Teaching me to respect what is the past, to respect books, to love books. To find out what they hold. Thank You Laura Ingalls Wilder for shaping my life.

That is all.

Jem and the Holograms

Jem is my 80's cartoon obsession, thanks to Lindsey who got me hooked. I'm half way through the first season out of 4. Man I love it, even though it's completely stupid, and has crazy drama and Rios hair is purple? What? Still haven't figured that one out. Its truly truly outrageous. My mom can't stand it, my dad just hates all 80's pop music. After watching the first episode, which I admit is a bit um... over drawn mom said " that was the most painful 20 minutes of my life. Still it's really fun. I want all of their awesome 80's clothes, and to do my make-up like them.

Okay so the show focuses around a band called, you guessed it Jem and the Holograms. Jem is really Jerrica Benton owner of starlight house and starlight music who has a hologram cast over her to become Jem. Oh ya, and her boyfriend Rio( purple hair) loves her and Jem. Then theres a rival band who wants nothing better tan to finish off Jem and the Holograms called the Misfits( ya, even though there was already The Misfits were around when the show was created)
Jem and the Holograms=

I'm a Jem and girl and I've never been the same
