March

Hi! Happy happy happy last Sunday in March!

This was such a busy and packed month for me, so let’s get into it 🙂

Media!

I read 2 books in March, watched a few movies, and listened to A LOT of Taylor Swift. I finished Wings of Starlight, which is the Disney Fairies prequel about Queen Clarion and Lord Milori. I was a big big big Disney Fairies fan back in the day (yesterday at Magic Kingdom I found a SILVERMIST pin while I was trading- crazy). The book was everything I hoped it would be, I read a review that said it felt like coming home after a long time away, and I completely agree.

The other book I read was called Klara and the Sun, and it’s been sitting on my shelf for years waiting for its turn. Cece, if you’re reading this, thank you for the birthday present. Klara and the Sun heavily revolved around the sun, and I am an overgrown plant, so I spent a little bit of time sitting outside everyday, reading, and it was the most perfect experience. I spent so much time outside this month, which is exactly where I want to be.

As for movies, it wasn’t a big movie month. I spent a lot of time working or with friends, or going back home, but the movies I did see, I really did enjoy. The first was the new, live-action Snow White. I watched it with my roommates when we had our basically biweekly night off together. I cried over Dopey more than once, I’m not ashamed to say. I just love Dopey. I’m not a picky movie goer, my friend Derek put it simply: Willianny just enjoys media. Which is true, and Snow White, I think, was a perfectly good movie. Fun songs, fun vibes, fun story. I didn’t have much to complain about.

Then I took myself to watch Novacaine, which I’d bene interested in watching since I’d started seeing the trailers at AMC. I liked it a lot, but I don’t think I would watch it again because of how graphic it was. I expected it to be that graphic, of course, an action movie about a guy that doesn’t feel pain, of course they’re going to try to make him suffer. Otherwise, though, I liked it. I loved the storyline and I love Jack Quaid.

This is a Snow White- filled time for me. I decided to watch all of the Disney Princess movies, in order, so I watched the original film (for the first time) . I loved it. I, of course, know the story front and back after so many years of watching remakes, hearing the music, working at Disney, etc. , so it was precious to finally see the real thing. I love hand drawn animation, I love the dialect, I love the dress. I love Snow White now.

Then I went to watch the live action AGAIN with my dear friend, Monica (she picked). I liked it even more the second time. It feels like an update or a refresh. It obviously wasn’t a direct remake, which is fine, who wants to see the exact same story over again (for the hundredth time). I think it was a good movie!!! I loved it.

Musically, I mostly listened to my favorite albums over and over again. But I will say, I did love Lady Gaga’s new album, and I’ve found myself listening to a couple of Gracie Abrams songs off her new album- I never cared for that album. To be honest, the songs aren’t my favorite, but there’s lyrics in them that replay in my head over and over, and I listen just to hear them. Off Mayhem, Zombieboy and Perfect Celebrity are my favorites.

Stuff I did!

Like I said, March was such a busy month. I started it off with a surprise trip home for the weekend. I really missed my family so much, and seeing them was exactly what I needed. I saw one of my best friends, Brianna, too. She drove up and we went to see Role Model together at the House of Blues (my second time, her first). His album is one of my favorite of all time, and we had so much fun dancing together, the next day, I took her to Animal Kingdom for the first time, and we stopped by Epcot for the Flower and Garden Festival, so pretty.

I also found a new family in my coworkers. For St. Patrick’s Day, We made food and deserts and drinks and had the most fun at the pool. My favorite part was that Kirby and Anna bought a box of Capri Suns for me, because they know that I don’t drink, and it was the sweetest thing anyone could do. We all spent so much time together, going to the mall or to grab something from the store, or just sitting in my apartment staring at the ceiling. I love those guys.

Victoria, Angely, and I got a new roommate this week. Her name is Diana, and she’s so sweet. We introduced her to all our friends and had the most fun making cookies and watching Justin Bieber’s old music videos on Friday night. One of my favorite nights of the year by far, all the girls I met when I moved here are going to be in my life forever. We all also went, before Diana moved in, to the Crystal Palace to celebrate Victoria’s (not my roommate) 26th birthday. We met Winnie the Pooh and his friends, and ate such good food. I love this little life.

My New Year’s Resolutions!

I bought a photo album! I finally cracked and got the 2025 Mickey and Friends photo album I’ve been sitting on since I moved here- I decided it was perfect because I’m spending my 2025 here. I added in so many pictures from the past three months and wrote little tidbits for all of them, and I’m really excited to keep adding to it.

I’ve stayed strong with not buying any new clothes, and I’m on track to read 25 books. I didn’t exactly stay true to my new blog schedule, but it was the first month, so I gave myself grace. For April, I’m going to predecide the idea for each week, so that I don’t get stuck. I spent so much time in the sun, of course and I did sort of decide what I want my future career to be, at least for the next few years.

I’m going to be on my program working in Fantasyland until January, but after that I have big wishes and dreams in mind. I want to go part time/full time, and I hope to God to go into entertainment. It’s something I used to dream and dream of as a little girl, but I never thought I could do it. I never thought it was a tangible thing, something that’s actually something I could do, yknow? I just never considered it. But I used to watch YouTube videos of recapping princess auditions and flip through fun facts on Pinterest. Mind you, there also wasn’t any brown princesses I could be when I was a kid, and of course when I was 7 the only thing I wanted to be was a princess (when I’m 20, also, though). But now I can really feel it, I really want to do it, and I’m going to. I’m not sure how yet, but I am. And I have the perfect princesses in mind to inspire me.

So, that was a little bit of my much. A lot of spending time with all different people I love. A lot of eating apples and laying in sunlight. A lot of dreaming and a lot of thinking. I spent a lot of my days in the best moods I’ve felt in a long, long, time. I can’t wait to see what April brings.

With love, Willianny
