I love two-hour delays! You won't have to make it up, but you get to sleep in for two extra hours. There's even still some snow on the ground outside, but it's not much. I think it's supposed to snow again tomorrow, but I doubt we'll get much.
In current events today we finished playing our quiz show game thing for this week, and our team won again! It actually seemed easier than last weeks. The last question was who won the Iowa caucus, which we'd been talking about all week.
After school Haley, Jordan, Rachel and I went to go see Beauty and the Beast in 3D! We went and ate at Taco Bell first, and then stopped by Walmart. The movie was amazing! I loved the Tangled Ever After short that was shown before it. It was so cute! (I still haven't seen Tangled all of the way through...) Beauty and the Beast was amazing. It's my absolute favorite Disney movie (as most reading this probably know), and there was no way I was going to pass up seeing it in theaters.
I'm not a 3D fan. 3D movies always give me headaches. But I've been pleasantly surprised with the Disney re-releases in 3D. Beauty and the Beast was just like The Lion King: the 3D was there, but it wasn't incredibly noticeable. I don't know how to describe it very well. It's like there are multiple layers to the movie, but nothing's flying out at you. It was a completely different 3D than the previews and Tangled short that came before it (which did have some things flying out and such). With both The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast I didn't get headaches like normal, and I loved getting to see both on a movie theater screen. If you're a Beauty and the Beast fan, I definitely recommend going to check it out even if you don't usually like 3D.

Favorite Romantic Disney Moments
It's another Disney post! This one is about my favorite romantic moments in Disney movies.
The end of Beauty and the Beast. Of course I have to start this post with Beauty and the Beast. Belle and the Beast are my favorite Disney couple, and I love the end of the movie so much. Belle's also the only Disney princess on this list because I honestly don't like the romances with any of the other princesses. I feel like out of all the Disney princess movies, Belle and the Beast are the only ones who really seem to fall in love with each other (except maybe Aladdin and Jasmine because I really like them too).
The ballroom dance scene in Beauty and the Beast. This is a close tie with the other Beauty and the Beast scene.
The spaghetti scene in Lady and the Tramp. This has pretty much become a classic scene that everyone recognizes.
EVE "kisses" WALL-E in WALL-E. These two are so adorable for the whole movie.
Simba and Nala during Can You Feel the Love Tonight in The Lion King. I love the two of them so much!
Jane deciding to stay with Tarzan in Tarzan. I love the romance between them, and I love when she decides to stay.

Favorite Disney Animal Sidekicks
Time for another Disney post! This one is about some of my favorite Disney animal sidekicks. As usual, these aren't really in any order, and there are probably some awesome ones that I'm completely forgetting.
1. Rafiki from The Lion King. Rafiki probably wouldn't be on here if I hadn't recently seen The Lion King 3D in theaters. I'd forgotten how awesome and hilarious he is. I'd be incredibly annoyed with him if I was Simba when he first meets Rafiki (besides as a baby), but I love him as a character.
2. Zazu from The Lion King. I love him even more than Rafiki. He has some great bits in the movie. Something I'd completely forgotten about the movie until I saw it a week or two ago was the bit where Zazu begins singing It's A Small World, and Scar says something about him singing anything other than that horrible song. I love how Disney is making fun of their own song there. This has next to nothing to do with Zazu, but I just wanted to share that tidbit.
(Also, it's weird classifying Rafiki and Zazu as "animal sidekicks" when everyone in The Lion King is an animal, but the do fit both animal and, basically, sidekick. The same goes for a couple of others on this list.)
3. Abu from Aladdin. I just think he's so cute and adorable!
4. Sebastian from The Little Mermaid. He sings Under the Sea and Kiss the Girl. That alone makes him awesome.
5. Flounder from The Little Mermaid. I don't have an exact reason for him to be on this list, but I'm still putting him here.
6. Mushu from Mulan. I think he's hilarious.
7. Dory from Finding Nemo. This is a Pixar film, which I don't usually include, but I'm making an exception for Dory. "Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. What do we do? We swim, swim, swim, swim, swim." Yeah... Plus, she can speak whale.
8. Crush from Finding Nemo. We'll include Squirt (who's adorable!) in here too. They're both awesome.
9. Benzai, Shenzai, and Ed from The Lion King. They may be evil, but the hyenas are hilarious, especially Ed.
10. Percy from Pocahontas. He's so cute.
11. Meeko from Pocahontas. He's also really cute.
I think this is one of my longer Disney lists. There are just too many awesome animal sidekicks in Disney movies. I know there are a lot more than I even put on this list.
1. Rafiki from The Lion King. Rafiki probably wouldn't be on here if I hadn't recently seen The Lion King 3D in theaters. I'd forgotten how awesome and hilarious he is. I'd be incredibly annoyed with him if I was Simba when he first meets Rafiki (besides as a baby), but I love him as a character.

Animals: Both Cartoon and Real
So far this weekend has been packed full of stuff. I'm looking forward to sleeping tonight because it didn't happen much last night.
We got out of class early on Friday for a pep rally. Our school isn't usually the most energetic at pep rallies, but yesterday's was particularly bad. At one point the principal actually stood up and said we wouldn't have another pep rally unless we actually participated. Everyone cheered a bit louder after that.
Friday night was football homecoming, but some of my friends and I decided that it would be a much better idea to go see The Lion King 3D instead. Haley's cousin Rachel, who used to go to our school but is now in college nearby, came to get Haley, Jordan, and I and drive us to the city she lives in (about an hour away). We decided to go eat at Denny's, a restaraunt that I hadn't been to in years. We sat there waiting for our food for at least an hour and a half. We were going to leave, but they told us our food would be free if we stayed and waited. Needless to say, we stayed.
The Lion King 3D was amazing! I plan on writing or filming a review later, but if you have chance to see it, go! I was surprised that most of the people in there were teens or young adults. There were only a couple of parents with their young children. When "The Lion King" came up at the beginning of the movie (after The Circle of Life) and at the end of the movie the audience started applauding. There were also some people (or at least my friends) who were singing the songs quietly to themselves. It was so much fun. It was so cool to actually see The Lion King in theaters. I was impressed by the 3D too. I usually hate 3D, but I thought they did a really good job. I think it's because it's not obvious 3D. The 3D isn't even that noticeable.
After the movie, we went to Rachel's apartment, where we spent the night. We watched most of Tangled before we fell asleep because we were so tired. I'd been wanting to see Tangled forever! I need to watch the whole thing sometime.
We woke up rather early this morning to meet a couple of Haley's family members at the zoo. I hadn't been to the zoo in years, and it was so much fun. One of the first things that we saw when we got in there was some guy with an unidentifiable animal that he was letting people pet and feed. He told us that it was a South American porcupine. It was so sweet and cute! It was really cool to get to pet her. We saw a lot of other animals too, but that was the most memorable one.
Two other fun moments from the day: Jordan got licked on her shoulder by a giraffe. It was hilarious. We all saw it coming towards us so we backed up quickly. Jordan just ducked. It was hilarious. There was also a bee that refused to leave us alone while we were eating our lunch. I was the first one to get up and attempt to hide behind Haley. Eventually, we were all up from the table while everyone else there stared at us.
It was a lot of fun. It's time for the relaxing part of the weekend though.
P.S. I have no idea what the title's about. I couldn't think of anything, and remember, I got very little sleep last night.
