My Favourite Movie

I bet you're looking at the picture right now and thinking I'm joking. I'm totally not. My favourite movie of all time is Disney's The Little Mermaid.

It probably has something to do with the fact that this was my first favourite movie. You know how kids will sometimes pick one movie and watch it over and over and over again, and never tire of it? The Little Mermaid was my movie on repeat. Except my love for this movie didn't just last for a year - it has lasted my whole life. I am amazed that the old VHS I have still runs! Although that doesn't matter, because as soon as it was released on DVD, I made sure to pick it up.

Of course I don't watch The Little Mermaid every day anymore, or even once a month. But if I'm looking for a movie and don't know what I want to watch, I will almost always choose to pop this in. What do I love so much about it? Well, for one thing, the songs. I like a lot of music from Disney movie, but there is something about the songs in The Little Mermaid that I just love - especially Part of Your World and Kiss the Girl! I know every word. How could I not at this point? Also, I think it's the whole fairy tale and fantasy thing, especially that it's not just your typical Disney Princess movie, but that the princess is a mermaid. I've been fascinated by mermaids and fairies and all things magical for as long as I can remember. Just the idea that there's a whole other world living right underneath our eyes that we don't even know about... it's that idea that I really love, I think.

So, yes. The Little Mermaid is my favourite movie. And I've seen a lot of movies in my life, and I do love a lot of movies almost as much. Almost. But I can pretty confidently say that no other movie will ever take first place.

What's your all-time favourite movie? Is it an unexpected choice like mine?

JIVE/JIBE

Last night on Twitter, Allison/Amarixe, Nikki Phillippi, and Landon Austin were having a conversation about vlogging everyday in June, and what they should call their vlogs. Of course I had to be a creeper and follow the conversation, and when they couldn't come up with anything (since VALIJ/VEDIJ and Vlune weren't sounding very nice) I felt like I had to at least attempt to come up with a good name. Alas, I came up with I-JIVE or JIVE which stands for In June I'll Vlog Everyday. I tweeted the 3 of them my idea and now they're all going to use it! I personally got tweets back from Allison and Landon, which I majorly fan-girled about, and Nikki tweeted that she loved it as well. I am so so so excited that they liked my idea! N

Now I feel like I should also JIVE, except for the fact that I don't have the proper equipment to vlog at all (read: a decent camera). HOWEVER, I've decided that I'm going to try and JIBE (June - I'll Blog Everyday). Sound good? Sounds good. Remember, I do have 2 blogs - this one & my beauty blog. So I won't necessarily have a new blog post up on here every day, or on that one, but I will try to put at least one post up on one or the other every day in June.

I invite you to join in and JIVE or JIBE with me if you've got a YouTube channel or a blog! Comment with your links so I can follow you, and follow me to make sure you see my posts every day. Also, make sure you check out Allison's, Nikki's, and Landon's 2nd channels where they'll be vlogging every day, and tell them Kristy (@kristyhank) sent you! And also make sure you follow me here and on my other blog so that you can catch my posts every day. Yay fun. :)
