Movies(peliculas for the Spanish speakers)

Yeah, when it comes to movies, I'm not picky. I'll pretty much watch anything, but the only movies I refuse to watch are movies with excessive cussing, where every other word out of the actors mouth is a bad word, movies with graphic sex scenes where it goes on and on, movies with too much gore and bloodshed. I'm not saying I'm a tomboy about this stuff, but then again, I'm not exactly girly-girl. If you know me like my family does, then you'll know it's not too surprising to see that the old Ned Kelly movie from the 1970s is my favorite, it's sort of a weird movie to some, but it tells the story of the Australian outlaw Ned Kelly and plus, Mick Jagger plays him, cute English dude with a cute English accent trying to do a cute Australian accent, definitely very attractive. The kind of movies I like to watch usually have 1 or 2 things in common: they either have an Asian actor in it or an English actor in it. Notice a pattern with me? Here are some of my favorite movies:
Kiss of the Dragon                         Ned Kelly
                    

Cradle 2 the Grave                        Freejack
                 
Romeo Must Die                           Bend It Like Beckham
                 

What a Girl Wants

As you can see, these are just some of the movies I usually end up watching, Notice a pattern with me? Almost everything I watch usually has someone Asian or British in it.

About Me

Look, I know I may have done multiple blogs about this, bur I'm not sure if anyone reads these things. So I'll basically tell you a little about me. I'm now 20 years old, my birthday is on Oct. 1. I have a dad named Steve, who works as a Sorter Machine Operator at US Bank, he basically sorts checks all day and makes sure they go where they need to go, he works the 1st shift, 7am-3pm. My mom, Brenda, works at Fifth Third Processing Solutions LLC, not sure about the last part, she basically works in Fraud, making sure people aren't becoming victims of identity theft. She's on the phones all day, locking/blocking cards for protection and she gets repaid by hearing people yell at her all day. My sister, Jessie, is in her senior year in high school. She recently got a tattoo, an Ed Hardy one, of a skull that says Love Kills Slowly, she loves it, and she was practically hitting on the tattoo artist. My step dad, Greg, also works at US Bank, he's a Reconciler, meaning he and a few other people prepare checks to go in to the sorter room. He works the 3rd shift, 5pm-3am. 


When I get out of college and get a job, I hopefully want to get a job as a graphic designer, and work somewhere cool. And when it comes to living somewhere, there are 3 places, well, more like 4 places that I would love to live in if I couldn't live anywhere else. 1st: my main favorite place that I would live in if possible is China. The culture is so endlessly fascinating to me, I've been interested in Chinese history/culture since 7th grade, so this fascination has gone on for a long time, 2nd: Japan, it's basically the same reason as China, the culture/history of Japan is endlessly fascinating to me. 3rd: Australia. It has a wild west feel to it, and it would have to be 1 of 3 cities along the coast: Brisbane, Melbourne or Sydney, so that way every night I can see the sunset over the ocean and the sunrise over the ocean every morning. 4th: London, England. This place because the culture is so similar to ours that it wouldn't be much of a difference, the only obstacle I'd face is the currency issue. Over there, dollars aren't the currency, pounds, quid,etc is. But I'd quickly learn to adjust.


Like anyone who has a goal to do something before they die, I have a long list, a 'bucket list' if you call it that. My main thing is I want to travel, to places far and exotic, like China, Japan, places that are really cool, like London, Sydney, Australia. And another goal for me is to see one of my fave bands in concert, The Rolling Stones, I'm bound and determined to see them play live. It may sound strange that someone who is 20 years old, in college wanting to see these guys, but their music totally kicks butt in music! They've been around for ever and I've listened to them for a few years. Another goal I have is to go rock climbing, the only obstacle I have with that is I have a small case of asthma and I think that would interfere with rock climbing. It's one of the many interests I have. I have alot of interests and goals that I want to accomplish in the future, and as for concerts, I'd love to see Paul McCartney too, his music is so good, and it's romantic. Honestly, how much better can you get than that?


My fave music is The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Paul McCartney, basically British rock. I'm a massive fan of it, and at home I often get made fun of for listening to these guys, especially The Stones, as many people call them, my favorite ones in the group are Ronnie Wood, as he is called, Mick Jagger and Charlie Watts, Keith Richards I'm not too big on, I mean, he's a good guitarist, but he got into too much trouble with drugs. But I do love other music, Latin music is really awesome and I'm totally into that stuff, but it has to be either Shakira or Enrique Iglesias, because they're the only ones I'll listen to. And also R&B I'm massively huge on, it has to be Seal, Stevie Wonder, Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Aaliyah because their music totally kicks butt in the R&B world.


I also have a Facebook account, strange to hear me saying that because a few years ago, I was so hesitant to start an account, not sure why and back in 2010 I had to start one because of school. And you won't believe the amount of people I share stuff in common with, most of the people I'm friends with on Facebook share a common like: The Rolling Stones, I kid you not, most of the people I'm friends with on Facebook like The Rolling Stones like me. When it comes to movies, however, some people will say that they only watch certain movies or whatever, I'm pretty open minded about this sort of stuff, I'll pretty much watch anything, even if it seems weird to others. Like this one movie, Freejack, it has Mick Jagger from the Stones in it, it is really weird, but it's okay in it's own way. My dad says he's not the greatest actor, but I say different. I think Mick is really sexy when he acts, and I never actually hear him talk before, like when he sings, he has this almost high pitched voice, but when he talks, he has this real deep voice which is sort of sexy, something about it is strangely sexy. Alot of the actors I like are Asian, like Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat, Michelle Yeoh, Lucy Liu, B.D. Wong. Not sure why I like these people as my favorite actors, but they are just good, that must be the reason.


Basically, overall, I'm a very tolerant person, one thing that really ticks me off is when someone is being bullied because of race/skin color, etc. I don't like racism/discrimination, if you really want to, pardon my French, piss me off, do that and you'll see how I am when I am angry. I'm a very nice person, I treat everyone with kindness and respect, I'll treat you nice if you treat me nice, but if you treat me like crap, don't expect any respect back because I'll treat you like crap right back! If I see someone being bullied because of something like race/skin color, ethnicity, etc, that person is going to get an earful from me. It may sound like I'm very against this, but I am. In my family, my aunt is a very biased person, she doesn't see the good in people like I do, she only sees the outside. She only notices if the person is black, Asian, Italian, Latino, etc. And I love my dad dearly, but sometimes he can be offensive, I always tell him that I really don't like him saying thing about people. Like sometimes if we're watching something, that'll usually get him started. Like one time we, as in my sister, me and him were watching this movie called The Full Monty, which I may add is a really awesome movie, and he heard the way they were talking in the movie, all of them had a deep British accent and he started mocking the way they were talking. Sorry, but I really HATE the way people treat others because of race/skin color, etc. Racism/discrimination is the most evil thing anyone ever came up with. You really want to piss me off, do that, and you'll get a very large earful from me!

Peliculas(Movies)

When it comes to movies, alot of people will say that they have one favorite movie when they really have like 3 or 4 or more faves. When it comes to me, I have no real favorite genre of movie or one favorite movie, I like all kinds, the only kind of movies I don't watch are ones that look stupid. Most of the movies I watch mostly have one thing in common with the other-- they'll most likely have either Jet Li or Chow Yun-fat in them, those 2 are my favorite actors, people around me wonder why 2 of my favorite actors are Chinese-born actors and I simply tell them that they are good actors and you never hear anything bad about them.


Another thing I've noticed is that some musicians are branching out in to movies, like Mick Jagger from the Rolling Stones, he's done a little acting, my dad says he isn't the world's best actor, I think wrong. I think he's a pretty cool actor, you just have to give him a chance, although some of the movies he's been in have been a little on the weird side, like Bent, he was a gay man who wore women's clothing, Freejack, he played a futuristic mercenary, The Man from Elysian Fields, he played the manager of a male escort service, Performance, he played a bisexual ex-rockstar named Turner. And Jon Bon Jovi does acting too, he's so sexy. But when it does come to movies, I'll watch just about anything, and at home almost every time my dad can't find something on, he'll turn to the enormous rack of movies we have, almost each shelf has one kind of movie or other or is devoted to one actor or another, like one shelf has nothing but Jet Li and Chow Yun-fat movies, another is split between Johnny Depp and Sylvester Stallone, another shelf has nothing but scary movies and so on and so forth.


Here are some of the movies I watch:
     

And when it comes to non-martial arts movies, I watch:
     




And when it comes to movies, almost everyone has that one actor or actress they love watching,even if the movie totally sucks. Most of the actors I like most people either think is weird or have no clue as to who they are, like Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat, Sylvester Stallone, Kate Winslet, Halle Berry, Mariska Hargitay. And there are also other actors I like, like Daniel Radcliffe from Harry Potter, he's pretty attractive. He's a megahottie. He's my favorite one in the Harry Potter movies.
             
Those are just some of the actors I like. But this blog hopefully lets you see what kind of movies I like, my favorite actors and actresses,etc.

About Me

 The title explains it all. I thought in this blog I would introduce myself to the blog world. I would tell you about my family and a little about me. I know I did this in a couple of other blogs and my first initial blog, but I love learning new things about people. Because I look at it this way- whenever you meet someone new, it's a new opportunity to make a new friend.



My name is Caitlin Clark, I'm 20 years old and I recently had my birthday on October 1. My dad's name is Steven, he works as a Sorter Machine Operator and his job has him sending checks through a large sorting machine and he makes sure they go where they are needed. My mom's name is Brenda and her job is Fraud Detection, she works for Fifth Third Processing Solutions LLC, meaning this place was bought out or something by Fifth Third, she locks/blocks cards to protect people from fraud, but this usually ends up getting her an earful from people who are mad that their cards were blocked, and she tells them it's for their protection, but they usually don't listen. My sister Jessica is in her final year at Bellevue High School, she's a senior and she can't wait to graduate, she says there's too much drama where she goes. I believe her, I was glad to get out of that place, more drama than an episode of Jersey Shore, minus the Italian chicks. My step dad Greg works the 2nd shift at US Bank, the same place as my dad. He works from 5pm-2am, and sometimes depending on what time they finish, that determines what time they get home. He's a Reconciler, meaning he prepares checks to go into the Sorter Room.



When it comes to likes and interests, everyone has certain interests/likes. When it comes to me, if there was a nickname for me, it would probably be British Invasion or something, mainly because alot of the stuff I like is out of England, mainly from hanging around with my step dad. I don't watch TV much, but when I do, my favorite TV shows are Top Gear, CSI:NY, the new Hawaii 5-0, Law and Order:SVU, the First 48, and Cold Case, and you can also look me up on Facebook, yeah, I got an account with Facebook, there really wasn't a choice in the matter, it was for Ad Club here at Gateway and it doesn't really bother me having an account with this thing, I've met people who share alot in common with me. In music, my tastes are stuck in British 60s, bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones I could listen to all day long and all night long if given the chance. I also like other bands, like Aerosmith, Foreigner, Deep Purple, Van Halen, the Police. And singers, like Rihanna, Enrique Iglesias, Shakira, Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney I like too because their music isn't about drugs, sex like most of the rap music out there is. And alot of the movies I watch have one thing in common: they're probably martial arts movies, with people like Jet Li in it. Him, Chow Yun-fat are 2 of my favorite actors, you never hear anything bad about them. And Hugh Jackman is also one of my favorite actors because he can sing, dance and act, sort of sexy.



I'm not like most young adults. In high school, when most teens were having sex, drinking at a young age, smoking, etc, I was trying to ignore all that, but in reality, it was hard trying to go every day and ignore the peer pressure. I was unpopular because I didn't have sex with every guy in school, drink alcohol or do drugs. The 2 main reasons I didn't is because I'm not like that and I think it screws your life up and if I did, I'd be pushing up daisies, my dad would kill me. I was smarter than most of my high school peers. but now that I'm 20 years old, I'm still the same person I've always been- nice, considerate of others, a little shy, not very talkative. I was that way in high school and I was considered one of the school nerds because I aced every year of my Spanish class and everyone else had to come to me for help in learning the language that would let them graduate. For once I felt smarter than ever. But I was glad to help them.

 You see, I'm the kind of person that I always help someone when it's needed and I get a little happy when I do something nice for others. In fact, if it's possible to get a high from being nice, I was higher than a kite recently because I was able to buy something for my step dad, sister, dad and mom for Christmas and I still have a few things to pick up, my step-dad is a major fan of The Rolling Stones and he has every one of their albums and I asked him if there were any he wanted and he told me the Bridges to Babylon album. For my sis I have to pick up a book about this athlete she likes, Apolo Ohno, she likes him. so you can see my holidays are filled with shopping and everything.



One of my favorite TV shows is Dancing with the Stars, but recently it has been sucking eggs, that Bristol Palin NEEDS TO GO! She is not a good dancer and I heard there was a rumor that her mom has people calling in multiple times and blocking up the phone lines when people vote just so her daughter can win! It's not right, she is not a good dancer. If Jennifer Grey loses, I'm not watching it anymore. she could easily beat out that good for nothing, diva dancer Bristol. She must obviously think that just because she got knocked up when she was a teen and had a child that she is some kind of superstar. And her mom Sarah adopting a child with special needs, I can understand she loves this child, but I personally think that she is using that as leverage to get people to vote for her when election comes around. You don't use a child with special needs to gain popularity. But that Bristol NEEDS TO GO! I don't think she is a good dancer, now that I think about it, some of the other dancers they had on in some of the different seasons were twenty times better than her, that tall black haired Russian guy, Maksim Chermosvsky, I think is his name, he was a good dancer and he was HOT! He was my fave because he was a good dancer! And that singer Brandi I was really gunning for the win spot, I was really hoping she would beat Bristol. And I thought of something last night: If Bristol wins, everyone stand up and boo her, to show her their disgust with her. Her family is totally taking over everywhere and when Sarah McCain, I think is her name, said that Bristol not voting was stupid that voting on Dancing with the Stars was more important to her, I'm with Miss McCain. It seems that to Bristol, the only thing important to her is winning. What about that poor child she brought into this world? That poor little angel is starting to have a Kate Gosselin- his mother is too consumed with winning that she pays no attention to her son.

Christmas/Weekends

Ah yes, it's that time of year again, time again for the greed of the holidays to make its presence known. Have you ever noticed that only a few years ago, you never seen as many Christmas commercials, but nowadays, you see more Christmas commercials than ever. You see these people buying undeserving people expensive Caddies, expensive jewelry, that's not what Christmas is all about. It's about the birth of Jesus Christ for God's sake. It's right there in the name. In my house, we remember the TRUE meaning of Christmas. In my house, it isn't about the greed or whatever associated with what everyone considers Christmas now. And also a few years ago, you never seen commercials for Christmas until about November, now you're seeing them in September. But with some people they like to get Christmas shopping done early. My mom, my step-dad Greg's sisters Jeanne and Carol are 3 people who I know do their shopping early every year to get it done. They say it's a pain. But I've kind of strayed away from liking Christmas anymore. I used to love it, I used to be able to not sleep on Christmas Eve, wondering what Santa brought me, that's when Christmas was magical.

Nowadays, when it's morning, I usually walk right past what 'Santa' brought me, it just doesn't feel the same as back then. Is that what growing up does to you? Makes you forget that Christmas is a time for magic and miracles? I guess I've forgotten that magic when I keep seeing those stupid commercials advertising more greed and people getting what they don't deserve more than anything. What people need to do is realize the true meaning of Christmas-- the birth of Christ for God's sake, it's right there in the name for cryin' out loud! I do a little Christmas shopping every year and this year, I've got some money I've scrounged up for the past 2 years to do some serious shopping. I have a lot to buy-- for my dad I have to get him this old movie he wants, called Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, it's one of those old 1950s sci-fi B-movies, for my sister I'm getting her a blanket that has her favorite show on it, Invader Zim, she's a sucker for all that stuff from Hot Topic, for my mom, I'm getting her this book about the mob, she loves reading books about the mob, for my step-dad I'm getting him a picture, a hand drawn one of Tahiti at sunset. And I know where I can get it, at this place called In-Light Studio in the Eastgate Mall. You should really see this place, it's awesome, they have a picture of virtually anyone. So you can say I'm up to my eyes in shopping for the holidays.


My weekend was pretty cool though. Last night, I got to see that new Karate Kid movie with Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan. It was totally awesome, way better than the old 1980's one, but that one is good too, my dad kept talking during the movie though, and there was this little kid who kept bullying Jaden Smith's character Dre Parker, and my dad kept saying that the little Oriental kid who was bullying him should get smacked so hard his eyes become straight. I told him this wasn't right. You see, my dad sometimes jokes about racial stuff like this, and sometimes it's hard to tell if he's joking. If he is, I tell him that it's not right to make racial/ethnic cracks about people. But I watched the movie last night and it was awesome! I love movies like that.


And what's stupid? I bought 2 movies with some birthday money, and I haven't even watched them yet. I bought Bulletproof Monk and Unleashed, one has Chow Yun-fat in it and the other has Jet Li in it, I haven't even watched them yet, but this Friday, if I'm not doing anything particularly interesting, I'm watching them.


And here's a video that's really cool, and I think perfect for any hard worker, it's the song Nothin But a Good Time by Poison, here's the link to the video.
http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/--2162500
If you see my stupid email adress thing, sorry. It's off my video playlist thing on Yahoo. But the song is really cool, I guarantee it.

Music

I figure everyone out there has that one band/artist that has their devotion. Well, here's one video I like:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhHODhTIvgo. It's a Stones video,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ed36UQX8kXQ
If you watch this video, some would think the lead singer is gay, he's not! Both of these links are for videos by The Stones.
If you wonder why I put these on here, I just now figured out how to add video to these things! I feel like a caveman, not knowing how to do stuff.
Here's another one, for this realy awesome music video by Aaliyah, she is AWESOME!
http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/--2138592. It has Jet Li in it, he's soooooooooooooooooooooooooo sexy!


I figure music is like an international language everyone can connect on.

Advertising myself

How would one advertise themselves? When it comes to products, you have to show and tell all the good stuff about it, and I guess the same applies to people. Let me introduce myself again, I guess. My name is Caitlin Clark, I'm now 20, I recently had my birthday and I'm in my final semester at Gateway Comm. and Tech. College. I'm going for an Associates Degree in Graphic Design.

Outside of school, I'm totally different. I read a-lot of books, and listen to a lot of music, mainly R&B, jazz, Latin, rock, British Invasion-era, you name it, as long as it appeals to me, I like it. I have a dad named Steven, he works as a sorter machine operator at US Bank, he sorts checks all day and makes them go to where they are needed. He works crazy hours, sometimes 7-3 pm, sometimes 8-4pm. My mom Brenda works for Fifth Third Processing Solutions LLC, basically it was bought out by Fifth Third. My step-dad Greg works the third shift at US Bank, 5-3am sometimes, he does reconciling, basically prepares checks to be sorted. My sister Jessica is in her senior year at Bellevue High School.

At home, there's a-lot of jokes made about my tastes in music, movies, etc. When I'm not doing homework, I watch TV at night and usually record stuff on TV when I can't watch it. One of my favorite TV shows is Top Gear, a TV show out of England my step-dad got me hooked on. As if it wasn't painfully obvious, it's a British car show. Here's the guys on the show:

My step-dad got me hooked on it! It's totally awesome! My favorite one is the one in the brown leather jacket on the far left, the one with the short brown hair he's cute! But I'm a pretty simple person. I have simple goals: mainly to graduate. Nothing more. I want to travel the world as well, go to places like China, Japan, Italy, London. I want to learn how to speak Chinese, Japanese, Italian. I guess you can say a lot of the stuff I like is out of England, but that's who I am, if you don't like it and you don't want to accept me for who I am, sorry about your luck!

When it comes to reading, I like to read books about people I like because I love to learn interesting things about people, murder-mystery stories, they fascinate me! And my mom recently got a new car. It's a 2010 Kia Forte, it's gunmetal gray and she is in love with it, she always finds excuses to drive, she loves it!

Here's what it looks like:

And how everyone has that one fave actor or actress, here's my 2 fave actors:
          
 Jet Li and Chow Yun-fat. I figure using pictures would help people out there in the blogosphere know what I like.

Weekends and stuff

Weekends and stuff: I'm not sure what I'll do over the fall break or over the weekend or, for that matter, during the week. Mainly just focus on schoolwork, like normal. I'm thinking about checking out a couple movies from the library to watch so I can keep out of trouble, here's one movie I'm renting, I have it on hold:

I seen bits and pieces of it the last time it was on, but my dad don't like alot of Asian martial arts movies like this, so I'm watching it Friday when I'm off school. He is such a cute actor I swear, Chow Yun-fat and Jet Li are my 2 favorite actors! And I'm also thinking about watching this:

I seen it in 8th grade dance class, never finished it, but I'm a total sucker for dance movies, if it has dancing in it, you can bet a million dollars I'll be sitting in the same position watching it forever! I know it may seem boring to everyone out there in the world of blogging, but I have nothing else better to do over the fall break.

Weekend/random thoughts

Weekend/Random thoughts: Yes, the title is what it is, my weekend and just little random thoughts flying around. I'm not sure if you can put pictures on this thing, but I'll give it a try. Sorry if the link doesn't work.


This is what I watched Friday night, for some odd reason, my dad wanted to watch it too and he kept cheering Jet Li on whenever he fought in the movie as if Jet Li was going to hear him, That basically was the highlight of my weekend. And I also got to buy something with some of my birthday money-- it may not sound interesting to others, but I bought a CD of this R&B singer Aaliyah, her I Care 4 U album, it has this really awesome song called Try Again, I'm totally addicted to it and I'm definitely going to buy this movie, I'm a megahuge fan of Jet Li, he's really sexy, and a totally hot Chinese actor! I love his sexy brown eyes! And last night, my sister watched a Green Day concert on TV and my dad said Billy Joe Armstrong had a filthy mouth because he kept saying the F word alot and it was obviously turning my sister on, but then again, she has a thing for Billy, she thinks he's cute, she loves the way he dresses, his tattoos, everything!

MusicLovers:Objetivos/interesa

Goals/Interests: Have you ever learned about something and then become totally fascinated by that thing? Well, that's how it goes for me. Ever since 7th grade history class, when we would learn about ancient China and Japan, and learn about their dynasties and everything, it kind of sparked an interest in those cultures for me. Ever since then, I have an avid interest in Chinese and Japanese history, the culture, just all the little customs and traditions of those 2 countries endlessly fascinate me to no end! I don't know no if any one around here may show interest in this, but I just want to get this out to see if anyone shares an avid interest in history. My main goals for the future is to simply graduate, I am a simple person with simple aspirations, I don't want a lot, just to graduate, something simple and something accomplish able. One of the little goals I have is to learn how to speak Chinese, Japanese and Italian. The reason I wan to learn these languages is because I love to learn new languages, in high school I had to take a Spanish class to graduate and I enjoyed every second of the class. My fellow graduates did not seem to enjoy the class as much, they often said that Spanish class is 'gay'., they often said derogatory things about the teacher Mrs. Garcia de Burke. She is an awesome teacher. I treat her good like I do my family, every year, me and my little sister get her something on her birthday. You may think it's strange, but that's just the way I am, I care about eveyone. Well, I hope that they know that term could be considered a derogatory term for homosexual. Kids today, I swear! But anyhow, I would love to learn these languages because I enjoy learning about other cultures that exist in our diverse world. And I'm actually quite good in Spanish, I often keep going back and forth between Spanish and English. P.S. for the ones who do not speak Spanish, Objetivos/Interesa means goals/ interests in Spanish. By the way, if Ms. Thomas is reading this-- Hola! How are you today? I just thought I'd include a good greeting! If this blog is long, lo siento or sorry in Spanish. You'll probably notice that I speak Spanish a lot in this blog, it's just a fun language to speak. As for any other little goals, I want to travel the world, some of the places I wan to visit people wonder why I want to see them, like China. I want to see China because of the interesting culture, the people are nice as long as you are nice to them, and it's an overall beautiful country. Plus 2 of my favorite actors are from the country, Jet Li and Chow Yun-fat. I want to see Japan because I've seen pictures of it and it's just a beautiful place, especially with Mt. Fuji, you look at it and it seems beautiful, I know people may find this unusual, but I'm an unusual person. I want to see Italy because it's so romantic. But I've heard people say that Italy is a 'high fraud' area because so many go there for honeymoons and whatever. I'll go with someone who knows their way around to be safe. I do apologize if this blog is long, but I love to talk. I need to tell this one-- my sister went on her first date. Now if you know my sister, not too long ago, she was the kind of kid who read Spider-Man comics and hung action figures on small shelves on the wall, in fact she still has her Dare Devil action figure hanging on the wall. Now she is like Abby from NCIS, she dresses gothic/punk rock, with her Converse gymshoes, minskirts and Green Day shirts. Even though I'm an older sibling, I still think "Man, this kids used to like Spider-Man and all those comics and play with toys that were meant for boys when she was younger. Now she is dating and dressing different." It sounds like I'm thinking like a parent, but my dad thinks the same about me, he thinks" My oldest daughter is in college and my youngest daughter is dating! Talk about feeling old!" Hopefully, if I mention something, someone out there will connect to this and respond back. P.S. Mrs. Thomas, if you read this, Hello, how are you today? Are you doing good? Because I hope you are. I hope you're having a good day.
