When Rose Met Potter

Going into the Castle
I just came back from a ten day vacation in Orlando, Florida. It was great to escape from the cold weather for a little bit and relax in my villa. The days of Disney World and Sea World are long gone now but I am sure I will be returning once my siblings or I have kids. I did spend two out of my ten days at Universal Studios Resort Orlando. One day I was hopping around Island of Adventure the next zipping through Universal Studios Florida. If you are making a trip to Orlando, I strongly suggest making a pit stop to Universal. I have not been to Universal Studios in years and I was impressed about what they had done. There is a new roller coaster called Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit that had me jumping and screaming out of my seat literally. Then the Revenge of the Mummy ride was also excellent. On a sad note the rides Back to the Future and King Kong are no longer at the park. But I am sure you are guessing by my title of my blog that I am not here to talk about Universal but about my time at the other Universal park Island of Adventure.

Welcome to Hogwarts
 Some of you might be aware that The Wizardly World of Harry Potter opened in Island of Adventure last year. All I can say about The Wizardly World of Harry Potter is ffeboobeoiblebuobleleonldjebwobffg. In other words my speech is incoherent. It is everything that I imagined it to be. Don't even get me started on the Butterbeer but it was delicious. The lines at the Butterbeer stands can be ridiculous so I suggest making a pit stop to Three Broomsticks they serve butterbeer there.I had to stand in line for almost two hours to ride Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey which was well worth the wait. We were able to go in through the castle and the ride was scarier than I imagined it to be. Just to let you know the ride can close about 30 minutes prior to the closing of the park. I believe it is due to the fact there is still a hour wait by that time and they want to make sure the ride shuts down at a respectable time. The entire Harry Potter Island was magical but even more so at night. I felt like I had stepped into Hogwarts. Seriously Universal did an excellent job at bringing JK Rowling's masterpiece  to life. I won't be shocked in a few years if there is an entire park based on Harry Potter's adventures. When it does open I will be first in line. So do yourself a favor and run don't walk to this marvelous attraction.

Feminist Wednesday: Try

Few months ago I posted my first Feminist Wednesday video. Feminist Wednesday is a day I celebrate a female artist who makes me proud to be a female. Today I am celebrating the magnificent P!nk. My word when I think I can't love P!nk anymore than I do, she goes and does this. Can we talk for a minute about her flawless performance at this year's AMA. That is how you perform live folks. Here for your viewing pleasure is the powerful video for her second single off The   Truth about Love.

Moving on, starting fresh

I DID IT! I graduated college! All the sleepless nights, pulling of the hair and crying myself to sleep have paid off, I now have my college diploma. Now that I have ended one successful chapter in my life I am looking forward to embarking on the next one. I am looking forward to igniting the flame inside of me and turning it into a full blown bonfire. I am not sure what the future holds but I cannot wait to find out. When I was five I never thought I was going to live in Tunisia or Mozambique for that matter. I never would have imagined that if I put my mind to it I could study abroad in Australia nor did i think I would go to college in upstate New York. I have done so pretty much amazing things but I still want to do more. I want to see the world, get touched spiritually and emotionally by incredible individuals, hopefully bring joy to all of those around me, laugh more, cry less, regret less, write more, cook more and live each day to its fullest. In effort to start anew I have d

He doesn't even need to ask

-
Over a month ago, I watched the absolutely beautiful My Own Private Idaho . I had a bit of a revelation after watching the film. Which is kind of interesting because it has nothing to do with the themes that were brought up in the film. If you have not watched My Own Private Idaho , I suggest that you check it out. It is hauntingly beautiful and River Phoenix is such a beautiful soul. Anyways, back to the topic of my post. I was thinking about how beautiful Keanu Reeves looked in the movie and how he could seriously get it. Jokingly I said to myself that "he doesn't even need to ask". Then a light bulb went off in my head. What exactly was I insinuating by that remark. Was I suggesting that because he was so attractive he does not need to ask for my permission to have sexual relations with me? After much thought, I realized that was what I was suggesting. As someone who considers themselves to be a feminist, this revelation hit me like a ton of bricks. I was completely
