The Secret Garden

So, when I was a kid, my faveourite movie was The Secret Garden. And I don't know why I loved it but I just did. And I watched it today (on VHS, don't judge) for old times sake (not the VHS part, just the fact that I watched it for old times sake, we only own it on VHS) But did you know I always wanted to move houses when I was a kid? No, I bet you didn't.
But the reason that I always wanted to move house was because I wanted to go exploring, even though the type of house we would get, there wouldn't be much exploring to do, because I would've finished it in like five minutes.
So I realised, if I were to move house it will have to be HUGE and have HEAPS of secret passageways and underground tunnels.
And I thought, oh won't it be sweet if I married a (brown haired) man that built me a house like that?
But then I realised, it will be fun; but not as fasinating. No people will have lived in the house before me, there was no history behind it up until now.
It's also like Coraline in someways.
But if you really wanted me to go HARDCORE on this dream of mine, I'll have a large garden to explore as well thanks.
And I have been to Hearst Castle (that's in California), Larnach Castle (that's in Dunedin), Tower of London (that's in London) and Windsor Castle (that's in Windsor). But they usually don't (pratically always) let you into the passageways and underground tunnels (mainly for security reasons (or something along those lines)).
So basically what I'm saying is, if I marry a brown haired man, and he wants to see the expression of pure amazement and wonder on my face then he should defiantly live in/buy me a giant house with secret passageways, underground tunnels, lots of history and stories behind it with lots of rooms he is more than welcome.

Hearst Castle; Birds Eye View

Hearst Castle; Neptune's Pool

Hearst Castle; The Indoor Pool

Lanarch Castle

Windsor Castle

Tower of London

Tower of London; Apparently the most Haunted place in ALL of Tower of London, of course much like the passageways and underground tunnels they don't let you in there. Hmph. >:(

Tower of London; The Beef Eaters (?)

Tower of London; on of the many stairs to one of the many towers in the Tower of London (they really need to work on that tower plural thing, I mean come on?)

Tower of London, The legend says when the Ravens leave the Tower of London the Palace will fall and the Royal family will fall with it. That must be the reason for the cages for the Ravens.

So The Secret Garden has led me back to my childhood and made me realise my REAL dream home.

So... I'm a psychic now... yeah...

Yeah, I bet you didn't see that one coming.
So, no I'm not really a psychic, but there has always been one thing I have been sure of.
I am going to marry/spend the rest of a my life with a person with a man with brown hair.
Like, it has always been certain to me that I will marry/spend the rest of my life with a person with brown hair. Since the age of like six. I don't if it's just because of all those disney princes with brown hair (Cinderella, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast(ish), The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty etc, etc.)
And then there is Ken who most of the time has brown hair. So, I don't know if it was disney and Barbie making it sure I wanted a brown haired man or I just decided myself. But that doesn't mean rule out all other hair colours. I would still date a blonde or a ginger (for those who go "WHA?", I say to that HAVE YOU NOT SEEN RUPERT GRINT???)
And some of you might go, ALICE?  WHAT ABOUT TE BLACK HAIRS?
Don't worry, I count Black hairs as brunettes. And don't you be saying, BUT MY HAIR NO BROWN! IT BLACK! LOOOOKKK! no, see, if you look really closely, you can see it is a really dark shade of brown. Unless you dyed it, in which case I am not going to marry a man who DYES his hair black. I mean, come on? Seriously?

I strongly dislike Disney.....

Don't get wrong I have been to (the original) Disneyland, and watched 50 Years of Disney when I was there.
And Walt Disney seemed like a nice person.
But cannot stand Disney Channel.
They went a stretch too far with marking a theme park it's own channel.
And what inspired me to write this, I was watching E! news (as you do), and they had an 'exclusive' interview with Demi Lavato. And the 'exclusive' world premier of Demi Lavato's music video for her song 'Skyscraper'. And through out the show the hosts (Guiliana Rancic and Ryan Secrest) endlessly talked about how inspirational Demi Lavato was between celebrity news stories.
And it bothers me how Demi Lavato talks about her 'fans' were inspired by her. And I was like 'who are these fans? I thought all of her fans were five year old girls?'
Don't the average American teenagers watch shows like 90210? Or Gossip Girl?
But no, it seems as though they watch Disney.
Because all of Demi's (previous acting/singing) jobs were based around Disney?
How does an average teenager watch Disney? Disney is directed at Tweens right?
I mean I thought teenagers were just a tad smarter than a tween because they watch TV shows with actual solid story lines, and if character leaves the show they have to 'escourt' them out, however a tween will not notice that one of the characters is missing.
But it seems as though not.
I do not find any Disney star inspirational! At all! Why?
Let me give you my reasons:
1) They are Disney stars, I don't consider them 'real' celebrities.
2) It's Disney for god sake, the average viewer ((or I thought the 'average' viewer) which I thought was a Tween, not a Teenager, seems as though I am wrong) doesn't care whether your dying, they just want a show, they don't understand yet, it's just a show.
People might criticizee that I 'hate' Demi Lavato, or Miley Cyrus, or Selena Gomez.
Correction: I strongly dislike Demi Lavato, Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez.
Disney is a shortcut to fame. Everyone knows that. I know a girl who auditioned for Camp Rock 2, and  I know why.
Disney is a shortcut. Disney only wants you if your 1) Skinny, 2) Pretty (unless your not a main character).
They don't care how 'fantastic' you are, as long a five year old (or a teenager) thinks your good, you've got the job. But five year olds don't have a good taste in music, so sorry good singers, you're out.
And also over the years Disney has been caught by people all over the world with 'Sex' written within the stars in the illustrated sky (or in Rapunzel's hair).

Maybe if Miley, Demi, and Selena had chosen the harder road to becoming famous, I wouldn't dislike you.
