Anyone who know me or even about me knows that my first love is music. I love to sing and anytime I get a chance to do so I do it. Be it the tv shows I've done, Pretty Little Liars and this new movie that I worked on called A Cinderella story- Once upon a song. It's not going to the big screen, but straight to DVD still it's a project that I felt very strong about. I don't do something unless I feel strong about it and there is one thing I feel really strong about and that's Pretty Little Liars. I didn't expect it to be as big of a hit as it was, but I knew it was a very popular book series. Aria {my character} is a very unique person who likes to stand out with her clothes. Her style is mainly bohemian, with an indie-hipster-girl twist. There have been plenty of times that I would have loved to take some of those clothes home with me. She's sweet, kooky, and unique. She is emotional, but strong. She is also mysterious, but also has a friendly openness to her that makes people want to get to know her better. Something that I strive to be as well. But before Aria and before Phoebe and before Rose I was on a little show called American Juniors. It was a lot like American Idol, but for kids.
I was still the little girl from Memphis Tn when I first started American Juniors with the accent as well. It's pretty easy to find some of our videos. It didn't last long, but it was fun while it lasted. Somewhere along the way I've lost my accent and grown acustomed to the LA lifestyle, but I'm still Lucy Hale from Memphis, Tn. I get a lot of questions about music and making an album, but I haven't really thought about making an album even though in the near future I might just. I want to be able to devote my time to it just split my time between that the next movie and Pretty little Liars. Which reminds me! Scream 4 is coming out very soon and I think that everyone should check it out seeing as it's going to be pretty amazing. I had so much fun working with the people that I did. Most of the time I'm just star struck by all the people that I meet that are famous. I've pretty much lost my will to write anymore when the great mods decided to give us a writing prompt and I guess I decided to fill the rest of my update with what my favorite things to do are when the lights go out.
What's your favorite thing to do when the power goes out?
When the power goes out usually the first thing I do is grab candles and light them all over the place. The last thing I want is to run into walls or step on jack. He gets pretty crazy when the lights go out and I usually play with him to he's worn out. The I'd more than likely just revel in the silence for a little bit. Seriously when is any of our lives ever silent? A lot of the times we like the chaos, but there's those times that we need to just be silent. I was watching Dr. Oz awhile back when I actually had some time off and he was talking about it. Sitting in silence at least 30 minutes a day was actually healthy for you. So yeah I would just enjoy the silence while it lasted. Then probably carry a couple of the candles into the bathroom and take a nice long bubble bath. I kinda think that having the power go out for at least a couple hours a day would be fine with me. Instead of constantly going and going it'd force you to just take a break and relax and in the end it would definitely be healthier.
I know I'm the kind of person that see's the glass half full. I don't see the point in being negative and a debby downer all the time. I know a few people who are debby downers and if you let them they will definitely affect you and your positivity that's why I try to surround myself with great people. People who are positive and don't see the negative things in life. I'm not saying that I don't see what's going on in the world because I do and yes it makes me sad and I've done everything I can to help. I've done my part and I can sleep better at night knowing I've done something, but there's so many good things here too. Everyone coming together to help a country in it's time of need. That's a good thing. Organizations trying to end world hunger, trying for equality for the LGBT people and sooo much more. People just trying to help other people. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but isn't that what it's all about in the end?
