"May all your bacon burn!", a quote said by the pesky fire demon in my favorite movie of all time and one of my favorite books, Howls Moving Castle. The animated movie based of Diana Wynne Jones amazing novel was created about 10 years ago in 2004 by the famous Japanese film company, Studio Ghibil. I watched Ghibil's version of the film about two years ago and fell I love with its touching love story and beautiful animation. The story is different, imaginative, and I can't help but adore the complex characters with their moments of Gothic humor. I am really big fan of the animated movie industry, and this is one the best I have ever seen.  You just never to old for a good, artistic, animated adventure.

Music has become such a part of life ever since I started playing the alto saxophone in 5th grade, and it has bloomed so much just in the past year after I came home from an arts camp in Michigan in the summer of 2012. There are many bands and songs that I listen to, but the thing that you would find the most in my iPod if you where to look would be soundtracks from movies. The symphonic and dynamic music of the movies has captured my heart and it is now what I listen to all the time. My soul seems to melt and leak through my whole body when a piece of soundtrack music hits its climax and I then release it through my eyes in the form of tears when it ends. Its the kind of music that soul needs on a daily bases, and there is so much of it that I never run out of soundtrack music to listen to. One of my favorite scores at the moment is a medley of scores from Forest Gump. This piece right now brings out the biggest amounts of emotion in me and I never get tried of it.

Two summers ago I had the chance of a lifetime, and I got to go the amazing Interlochen Camp of the Arts, and international camp in Michigan that taught all the arts including; visual arts, music, theater, movies, creative writing, and dance. This experience has truly changed my life and I had some of the most fond memories of my life created there.  I j got to do art almost 24 hours, or hear it/ see it, what could be better then that!  Never have I felt so free and myself other then those 3 weeks I was there. This camp taught me to love all the other arts and it also taught me that I really want art to be part of life, and I want it to echo through all my future.
