The Princess Diaries is and continues to be one of the finest movies ever made. I have laughed out loud so much over the last couple of hours. Even though I've watched this movie countless times, it's still hilarious, charming, sweet, heartbreaking, magnifique.

I started this post off with one paragraph but have repeatedly come back to edit and add. As such, I am turning it into a list of things I love and admire in this movie:

1. Mia in that white ball gown at The Grand Ball is the most beautiful thing in the world. In all the movies I have ever watched in my life, I don't think any actress has met that same kind of beauty. The dress, the hair, the collarbones. Immaculate perfection.

2. The soundtrack. From the opening song (teaching me since 2001 that I'm Super Girl) to the song when Mia blows off Michael's invitation to go to his band practice (too many feelings, so many emotions running away with me) to the very last song when they're dancing at The Grand Ball (yeah, miracles happen once in a while when you believe).

3. A very, very cute asparagus.

4. Two words. Foot pop.

Despite my love for this movie and the author, I have never read one Princess Diaries book. I should maybe do something about this. I think it would help with the fact that I'm still mourning the fact that Mia does not end up with Michael in the movies.

Thank you for being here today.
