Sydney White

My current Netflix movie is Sydney White. I decided to stay in bed a little longer this morning and finish watching it since I fell asleep last night half-way through. The basic premise is based around the story of Snow White. Sydney was raised by her dad and goes off to college hoping to join the sorority that her mom was a member of. The president of the sorority is not a big fan of Sydney and makes everything very hard for her, up to the point of getting in and denies Sydney. This of course crushes her and she runs into 7 dorks who take her in.

It was a pretty good movie. The main actress was Amanda Bynes and while she can be a good actress sometimes, she sometimes drives me crazy! It was a little corny at points and it isn't a movie I would suggest Pat to watch but it was alright. The reason I put it on my list is because one of my friends from college just loved it so I thought I would try it out. It has been on my list for a while because I have a bad habit of adding movies when I get bored. I think I currently have about 60 movies waiting for me! I could watch some instantly but apparently my Internet is too slow and it is more irritating the entertaining to watch. The one part that I did love is at the end, Sydney is campaigning and "outs" herself as being a dork. This causes a wave in the audience and soon people are standing up confessing what makes them a dork. I thought that I would share with my few readers of why I am dork (as if you didn't already know!)

1. I read like crazy! Someone asked me the other day how many books I read and then revealed my total number for the year. They looked at me like I was crazy! I honestly can't remember a time I didn't enjoy reading. When I was younger, I spent a lot of time in the car either going to my sisters' games or my own and I just read to make the time go quicker. My parents are both readers so I guess I just learned from them and I am glad that I did!

2. I love old television shows and movies. I mean come on, I Love Lucy is my favorite show! A League of their Own is my favorite movie (I know it isn't that old) and put in any old Disney movie and I will watch it and probably be able to quote it. I am not talking the animated ones either. The live action ones like The Ugly Dachshund, The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit and many others. I was just born in the wrong decade.

3. I would rather play Trivial Pursuit than any other board game. I love trivia! I also credit this to my parents. When I was little we would go to my Aunt Beth and Uncle Steve's quite often and they would play Trivial Pursuit. They would let me read the questions (maybe that is where the love of reading came from as well?) and I think some of it stuck with me. To go along with this one I also DVR Jeopardy. I am taking the contestant quiz next week!

4. I own a Nintendo DS. While this one makes me pretty cool to my nephew I am sure some people think I am a dork. My favorite game at the moment is Professor Layton. First the name and next his assistant is Luke! Yep my nephews. Now that isn't really why I like the game but it helps. The game is based around puzzles, logic puzzles! I love them! Again my mother's fault (it's ok Mom I am happy with it) She also loves puzzles and would always be figuring them out. I love looking at the situation in a certain way to figure it out.

5. I am an English teacher...enough said!

Well I am sure they are many more reasons why I am a dork but that is enough for now!
