Return of Supergirl




At the beginning of the Summer, my housemates (mom and sister) and I went to Myrtle Beach. My second favorite place in the world, behind Disney. I completely forgot to bring a cover up, and as every girl knows it's just awkward to ride in an elevator and walk through the lobby in just a bikini.

Although I missed the "always be prepared" thing in Girl Scouts, I did learn the importance of improvising from theatre. Which lead to me using my Super-awesome shirt as a cover up.

While I could make this whole post about the looks and smiles I got from the college guys there, suffice it to say there were a lot of those. No, this story revolves around a little boy around five or six years old.


After being on the beach for awhile, I was going back up to the room - which was on a higher floor so I obviously wasn't going to walk. Ok, I wouldn't have walked even if we were on the second floor.


It was around noon, when the elevators are swamped with parents and their kids headed to their rooms for either lunch or aloe. Have you ever noticed the awkward silence in an elevator? I've noticed kids are totally immune to it! It's so great! Anyway so there I was, in an elevator with about 4 parents and 2 kids in my Supershirt.


The awkward silence encompassed us like a hazy mist, until the sun broke through. That sun was in the form of a five or six year old boy who at that moment turned to his dad and said, "Dad, why isn't Supergirl flying to her room?"


Then a little girl a little older than him interrupted this beautiful moment with, "She's not Supergirl! She's not real." There's one in every crowd....

The best part was the dad's answer, said completely deadpan "I don't know, why don't you ask her?"


As the boy (and smug little girl) turned to me, the elevator reached my floor. Before I stepped out though I looked at the boy and said:


"It was too windy, I tried earlier today but the manager asked me not to anymore since I kept breaking windows."


I then winked at the girl and went to my room.


Best. Elevator ride. Ever.


I may even venture to say it was super.


(As a side note: it was ridiculously windy that day, and part of the hotel was under construction so some windows actually were taped up/broken looking.)

What a Magical World

When you're a magician, sometimes you just like to mess with people. As a female magician, people definitely don't expect anything magical from me (except my charm- just kidding) so when a situation presents itself I tend to take advantage.

The other day, I was walking out of a store. I reached into my purse to get my keys, when one of my playing cards fell out. There was a woman and her little girl behind me, and the little girl reaches down to pick up the card for me.


I said, "Oh don't worry I got it!" and made it levitate into my hand.


Needless to say, she flipped out. The best part was the mom didn't see it, so next thing she knows her daughter is going, "MOMMY! MOMMY!! SHE'S MAGIC!!! SHE MADE A CARD FLY TO HER HAND!!"


The mom looked at me and I nodded in agreement, then disappeared through the door to my car.

Best shopping trip ever!

Top 4 Guys Part 2


About a year and a half ago I gave y'all a list of my "Top 5 Guys". Well, it's been awhile so let's add to the list!

Marshall Mann

If you don't watch "In Plain Sight", you should. Not only is it an awesome show, it has Marshal Marshall Mann. Yeah, that's his name, and he's a man after my heart.

Reasoning:

He is insanely nerdy, and knows random facts you will never have to know.

He has a deep, wonderful voice.

Protective of his girlfriend and friends.


Flynn Rider/ Eugene Fitzherbert

Before you ask, no I don't see a problem with him being a cartoon/CGI character.

Reasoning:

Charismatic

The whole bad-boy thing, but he ends up being SO SWEET

Adorable, just darling

Also so very funny, a dry sense of humor (which I LOVE)


Ryan Reynolds

Just so y'all know, it took me 15 minutes to find a picture of him, do you know how hard it was to choose just ONE?!


Reasoning:

He's hilarious! If he's that funny/quirky in movies then some of that must have actually rubbed off for real life right?


He was the Green Lantern, one of my FAVORITE DC characters of all time.


Let's be honest, have you SEEN this man? Mainly, the smile.


Superman

Like you didn't see this coming...

'Nuff said
