Jackie's Choice Awards #1

     So, If you haven't noticed, there obviously aren't enough awards shows on TV. We only have like 737 billion a year to watch. You got your AMA's, your Grammy's, your Oscar's, your Teen Choice, your Kid's Choice, People's choice, etc, etc.

     And I came up with a brilliant idea that you will all love.

The Jackie's Choice Awards.

                                              *insert applause for genius/creative thinking here*

    I'm going to give you my nominees for a multitude of categories, but unlike most awards shows, you have no control whatsoever about who the winner will be. No voting for your favorites or any of that. It's called the JACKIE'S Choice Awards people. Come on.

      And because I know you all care so much about my opinions, here are my nominees:

Male Artist-

He is an attractive one

Let's be honest here, are there really any other contenders anyway? I didn't think so.


Female Artist-

                       

T-Swizzle is the bomb diggity. And that's not really a refutable statement at all so don't even try. Kthanksbye. 


Musical Group-

He is We. You haven't heard them before? You have not lived. Right now, you are dead. I'm so sorry.


Actor-

                                                                                

But whyyyyyyyyy though? Loved him in Little Manhattan, loved him in Bridge to Terribithea, and LOVED him in The Hunger Games. 


Actress-

                                           
Because really, who is not in love with Jennifer Lawrence? She makes me LOL.



Best TV Drama

       

                        
Those of you who know me, or have read any of my other blog posts, know that The Vampire Diaries is my burning passion. Like really, what the heck? Can someone really get addicted to a TV show? Yes, yes they can.  The 'halfway-through-the-season' winter finale was last week and I'm already going through crazy withdrawls. 


Best TV Comedy

                           
Our first nominee for best comedy is Modern Family. I don't really know anyone who has never seen Modern Family, so there's really no explanation needed for why it's nominated. If you've seen it, you know. 

                                      
And then we have Happy Endings. It's really underrated considering how funny it actually is. Or maybe I'm just weird.    



Actually, I'm just pretty much gonna nominate like every comedy show on ABC. They're all fabulous. 

I watch a lot of TV.


Movie of the Year-

You all knew that was coming. And if you don't know what this movie poster is from, you obviously don't get out much. I read the first book in sixth grade when my mom started reading it for her book club. I remember I couldn't fall asleep one night and I didn't really have any books to read at home, so at 10:30 at night I snuck into my mom's room and grabbed it, then snuck back into my room. I stayed up til 3:45 reading. I tried to put it down and fall asleep probably close to 8 times, but I couldn't stop thinking about it. My favorite book to date. And do not even get me started on the movie. For the most part, I agree with "The books are always better thing," but in this case, I think the movie was just as good. One day I watched it 7 times all the way through, back to back. 


Best Animated Movie-

These awards don't have a timeline. My picks can be as old as I want them to be alright? But this is my favorite movie like ever. I just feel like Lilo and I are pretty much identical twins whenever I watch that movie.  (Except for the fact that she is a cute little Hawaiian girl and I am a white girl who lives in Utah, but you understand what I mean.) We have the same personality. 


Movie of All Time- 

You all know it's true though. I could watch this on repeat for the rest of my life. Actually, this is the only movie that has ever made me cry. Just a little 'Jackie Fact' for you. 


Cutest Cat- 

She loves me

My cat's name is Ninja, but mostly I call her Neen. Which is actually kind of weird because it takes the same amount of time to say "Neen" as it does to say "Ninja." So it's not a really great nickname but that's ok. 

Thank you all so much for coming out tonight! We hope you had a great time at the show, have a safe drive home. 

I'll try to have a safe walk to the refrigerator, which is where I am now going. 

P.S. 
If you were confused, that was supposed to be like the end of an awards show, but the more I read it, the more I feel like it isn't going to make sense to other people. It was me trying to be clever. Sorry. 

Pizza and Halloween Candy Aren't Good Pre-Workout Snacks

   
     So incase you were not aware, I quite enjoy playing lacrosse. Contrary to popular belief, I do not lay on the couch with a bag of chips in my lap ALL year long. I only do that for most of the year. But alas, pre-season lacrosse conditioning has begun. I have this nifty little calendar that tells me what I have to workout every day, that my coaches so generously put together and gave us all at the first pre-season meeting this past Wednesday night.
 
   On top of that, this conditioning is self-mandated, so I had the task of figuring out how in the world I'm going to make myself have the self discipline to do all the fun things. So I was pondering this, and I had this idea come to me. Like a vision. When I am running and planking and lunging and all that jazz, I think to myself: Jackie. Justin Bieber is at the end of this run. He is waiting for you. Are you going to give up now, let him down, and spend the rest of your life alone?

     Needless to say, I then run like heck.

     Yesterday was the first day of these festivities, and I learned quite a valuable lesson. If you have done nothing but lay on your bed and watch TV for four months, and then go try to run 2 miles at 6 mph with a stomach full of pizza and leftover Halloween candy, you WILL throw up. (And people in the gym bathroom will most likely suspect that you are bulimic or something.)

     Also, if you go four months doing nothing, and then go do a bunch of core and lower body strength exercises, you will not be able to get out of your bed in the morning. Like, physically not able, because your core (or in my case, abs of steel) are extremely sore and you cannot move. Just a heads up.

     And! The other thing about this fun schedule that I now have, is that I have workouts every single day of the week except for Wednesdays and Sundays. Umm, excuse me, but what the heck? Do I look like I have time to go workout? I'm kind of busy watching TV. Thanks anyway though.

    So, thats how my Thursday went. I'll keep you all updated. And feel free to go ask some of my fellow teammates how their training is going. They would be: Claire, Livi, and Maddie. They may try to discount this whole post by calling me out on how I make these sound a lot worse than they are. Don't listen.

My life for the next month. #yay
