I know, I know, this post isn't the one it's supposed to be, and I'm sorry. Okay, I'm really not sorry, and you'll know why momentarily.
While checking out my page views, I noticed that I have just over 800 total views. Now, I blame a good 400 views on that GIF of Tom in full Loki gear, smiling sweetly like the personification of perfection that he is (he'd deny it, which is how you know he really is perfect).
In fact, on a small tangent, apparently people are finding my blog by looking up "Tom Hiddleston with a puppy". And yes, those just happen to be two things I love (and I'm pretty sure I would totally melt if I ever saw a picture like that), but HELLO, there are no puppies on this blog. At least, none that I can find.
ANYways, I've decided to do something a bit... special because the number of views is going up. When my blog hits 999 viewers/readers (because that just so happens to be my favorite number) I will do something ultra super fantastic!
Those viewing on an actual computer will notice that I have a poll on the right hand side of my page. It will soon reflect what ultra super fantastic thing I am going to do, as I will be taking YOUR INPUT. Yes, that's right, I will be letting the readers decide!
BUT THERE IS A CATCH!
While I will, indeed, be taking into account the polls, I will also be checking my email to see if anyone has suggested anything there. If one of those ideas totally blows my mind, I will be doing one of those instead. The reason I'm bringing this wild card into play is because, let's face it, most people find my blog to look at Tom Hiddleston GIFs that don't even really belong to me. So why not let the people who actually care about the words on the page decide? Also, I don't always have the best ideas, and someone would be like "But THIS!" and I would be like "HOLY CRAP, THAT'S AN INCREDIBLE IDEA!" and I would never have known unless they voiced their opinion.
So people, VOTE! EMAIL! Get your friends reading! Stop looking up Tom Hiddleston/Loki GIFs, even though they're so darn addicting! Let's propel my blog to a really cool number of viewers!

They say you learn something new every day, but they never tell you if it's good or bad, but if it's about Disneyland, it's usually good. Right?
Disneyland.
I know almost everything about it.
The significance of Abraham Lincoln to the Disney legacy.
Walt's light.
Club 33.
How unintentionally hilarious Walt Disney was.
"Disney's Folly" and how un-folly like it ended up being.
EVERYTHING.
So believe me when I say that any fact you have to tell me about the parks would surprise me.
I was surprised twice on this trip.
TWICE.
TWICE.
I feel like I owe Nick Fury ten bucks or something.
Unfortunately, one little tidbit I learned was negative information and made me want to punch myself in the face every time I thought about it.
...
Sorry about that pause. I was trying not to punch myself in the face.
Well, let's get the bad news over with. Cars Land opens June 15th, as in the June 15th that's in three days from right this very moment. So, with only a few days until the grand opening, I figured there would be a soft opening; you know, where the area is open and they test things to see how everything is going to work. Well, there was a soft opening. And I couldn't go. Know why?
BECAUSE I'M NOT A FLIPPING CAST MEMBER.
Yes, that is correct. I was stuck behind the wall, watching people go in and out like a starving, rabid wolf who just spotted a lame rabbit to snack on, listening to the music of the rides, seeing the happy faces go to and fro, and watching as people passed by, Cozy Cone drinks in their hands and Luigi's Flying Tires on their heads. It was my worst nightmare come to life in living color.
And on top of that, the entire front was closed off as well. Yup, Buena Vista Street was inaccessible, so you had to walk for FOREVER in order to actually get inside the park. It was a freaking nightmare. Oh, and did I mention that CM's got to check that out too? Yeah, I was not a happy camper.
But from what I glimpsed, it's amazing to see Radiator Springs.
It's a real place, guys.
Real people live there.
They just happen to be cars.
And now for the good news!
My aunt had heard a rumor about the Indiana Jones ride that seemed... odd, to tell the truth. The rumor claimed that inside one of the rooms in the queue, an image of Dumbo was projected because the space was originally intended to house a Dumbo attraction. This seemed weird because Disney already has a Dumbo ride; in fact, it's one of their most popular attractions. So why would they have another Dumbo attraction planned? The rumor stated that it was in the projection room and that you would need a flashlight to see it, but other than that, there was no clue as to where it could be.
And naturally, we asked a CM who thankfully knew what we were talking about.
Back in the day, the area wasn't a part of Disneyland- well, not really. It was a parking lot. And when they took the parking lot down to put the attraction in, they saved one of the flags from the lot and hid it in the back of the dark projection room. One would have to be in the next room, look back, and shine a flashlight up there in order to see it, but WAAAAAAAY in the back there is an old flag from the lot. And yes- you guessed it- that lot was the Eeyore lot.
Eeyore. Not Dumbo.
Some people clearly can't identify their animals.
I bet that's really hard for them when they try to identify the Republican and Democratic parties.
And on another note, I feel a lot better about being all super anal about my Disney movies. While watching the Disneyland Band play (they've been "held over" for over 50 years, you know), they were having the conductor "guess" the next song they were going to play. "The next movie starts with the letter 'A'!" the band member proudly announced as the conductor frowned. "Anastasia?" he asked, pulling a confused face. I- totally unintentionally- yelled along with the band "WHAT THAT DOES NOT EVEN MAKE SENSE THAT IS NOT A DISNEY MOVIE YOU ARE DUMB STOP BEING DUMB" or something to that effect, anyways. And it made me joyously happy and I laughed and people looked at me weird, even weirder then that time I walked down Paradise Pier doing the dance to "J-Pop (Welcome to Tokyo)" from "Phineas and Ferb", which is quite odd considering the nature of the dance and how I could even hear the music from so far away. Or when that random Cast Member caught me doing the Charleston in the way-back of California Adventure, strutting about with my jazz hands outstretched proudly.
But that's another story for another post.
Don't touch that dial! More of my Disneyland report is headed straight at 'ya!
Next post: Quotations make the world go 'round!

Some weird stuff goin' on round here
Okay, everyone. You know how I'm obsessed with things and people? Well, I realized something completely and totally significant the other day.
Something that has changed my life and how I define myself.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the MOST STUNNING....
THE MOST LIFE-CHANGING....
THE MOST INCREDIBLE TURN OF EVENTS IN THE HISTORY OF EVER!!!
And that news is:
Loki and Erik, aka the Phantom of the Opera, are tied as my favorite fictional characters.
My self identity is gone. I am no longer who I thought I was.
Tom Hiddleston, I blame you...

Dwarfs are not footballs or firewood, Thor. I thought you would have figured this out by now.
So I'm looking up Norse mythology because I'm bored and I have no life, when I come across the myth of the death of Baldr. It's an interesting story... And then comes the twist.
Thor is an idiot.
Like, a really big idiot.
Like, he kicks a dwarf.
For no reason.
Into Baldr's funeral pyre.
And he burned to death.
Now answer me this: WHY WOULD ANYONE DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT?!
Thor! Just let the dwarf walk past you in peace, man! What did he do to you? Answer: NOTHING. This does not make anyone like you any more; in fact, I'd say it makes them like you less.
Seriously, Thor. Seriously. I don't want to know what you'd be like as a crossing guard.
Thor: Hey kids! Great day, isn't it! *kid brushes past him* AAAAAUGH, YOU LITTLE PUNK! YOU TOUCHED ME! *throws innocent kid into oncoming traffic*
And I don't even want to THINK about what it would be like if he had children! Thor, you are, like, the worst role model EVER.
Wait. No. It isn't Thor who's to blame here. It's Daddy Odin.
Daddy Odin, why did you just stand there and watch as your son punted a midget into a bonfire? Were you too busy being sad? Were you sad that your other little boy died, hm? Well, I'm sorry, but you don't cry over the series finale of Desperate Housewives when your kid is in the kitchen experimenting on puppies with thermite. THAT'S JUST NOT HOW THINGS WORK.
Look Daddy Odin, I'm not trying to say that your son's death wasn't tragic, because it was. All I'm saying is that you can't teach your kids to kick dwarfs into funeral pyres. That's not too much to ask, is it?
Now is the time I would usually talk about how Loki's still the only sane one here, but, you know, there's the whole "this is entirely his fault" thing going on, so my point would be moot.
But I still like Loki the best.

This is the funniest thing of my entire life
So I'm pretty sure this blog is turning into one giant "I LOVE TOM HIDDLESTON AND LOKI AND I WILL ALWAYS LOVE THEM FOREVER AND EVER AMEN" post or something.
And I don't care.
BUT FOR REALS, I was listening to music the other day while brushing my teeth (because that's not weird at all) and this song pops up on my iPod. And because my mind constantly follows a logical train of thought, I started thinking about Loki.
And then I started laughing so hard I almost choked on my toothbrush and fell onto the floor crying.
IT IS MORE PERFECT THAN "MEAN" YOU GUYS. IT IS, LIKE, LOKI'S THEME SONG.
I mean, I'm laughing just thinking about it now.
... I have no life.
And I don't care.

Loki channels Taylor Swift
Because nobody knows emotions like Taylor Swift does.
What song works better for Loki than "Mean" by T Swizzle? I mean really, he's like a giant angry five year old who was just told that he's adopted and now all he really needs is a hug. Naturally he's going to be a bit angry with Thor, a.k.a. "Mr. Perfect" to Daddy Odin over there, for always trying to stop him, because we all know Loki does what he wants.
Anyways, here is my rewrite of the Taylor Swift song "Mean" as sung by Loki, complete with karaoke track. Learn it. Love it. Sing it all the time in random places and weird everyone else out.
You know I'm going to.
MEAN
You, with your words and friends
And swords and Mjölnir that you use against me
You have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feeling like I'm nothing
You tell me I can't do what I want
How I want or when I want it
You're picking on the better man
You think you can take me down with just one single blow
But you don't know, what you don't know...
Someday I'll be ruler of a big old city,
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me,
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
You hate my switching sides,
Fight my wildfire lies and my humiliation
You think you're superior again
As if I don't already see that
Walk tall, put my staff down,
Try to wipe them out but I'll never impress you,
And I just wanna be the best again
I've always been pushed around,
Never told who I really was
But this cycle ends right now
And let's see what this new staff does
And now I know what you don't know...
Someday I'll be ruler of a big old city,
And all you're ever gonna be is mean.
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me,
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
And I can see you years from now in Asgard
Talking about your latest battle
With that same big loud opinion
But nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old simple things
Drunk and raving on about how I'm "always wrong"
But all you are is mean
Yeah, and I do what I want!
I'm not lyin', you're pathetic and alone in life
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean
But someday I'll be ruler of a big ol' city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so?..
Someday I'll be ruler of a big ol' city (Why you gotta be so?..)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean (Why you gotta be so?..)
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me (Why you gotta be so?..)
And all you're ever gonna be is mean

That thing I forgot to mention
All the things I write on here are mine.
Do not take them.
The things that are not mine belong to their respective owners.
Thor belongs to Marvel and Europe.
The GIF's belong to Marvel and whoever made them.
Tom Hiddleston belongs to his own gorgeous self.
I meant to put these on here like a week ago, and totally forgot to.
Whoops!

Oh, and also the Once-ler belongs to Dr. Seuss and that one movie company.
