My New Blog Set Up!

Firstly, let me just say I have posted everyday for two weeks which is saying a lot because I have wanted to be a daily blogger since I started this blog New Years 2017.

I recently "renovated" my blog. I've got a new theme and it's easier to navigate now! It took me forty-five minutes to get it the way I wanted, which is the way you see it.

I thought I'd make a post to explain how to use the new layout.

I am going to be using screenshots of the mobile version of the blog, which is not different from the desktop version. The pictures will be under the descriptions because I feel like that might be easier.

On the homepage, you should see the featured post first. Excuse my gross handwriting. The featured post is always going to be the most recent post. This was done Wednesday morning before Wednesday's post went up, so in the screenshot below, you're seeing Tuesday's post.

Then if you scroll down, you'll see my last posts in backwards chronological order. Like newest first. So Monday's post was about Waterparks and that's what you're seeing.
Now, if you scroll back up to the title bar that says "Dreamers Never Rest" and click the magnifying glass, there is a search bar. You can look up whatever you want. If I wrote a post about it, it will come up.
Now, this is what I'm most excited about. I have a sidebar!
When you open the sidebar you'll see a few things:
1. Older posts - You get to see all my old posts and they're organized by month I posted them.
2. Labels - The tags I use for my posts are broken into eight categories: Broadway, Writing, Music, Personal, TV Show, Film, YouTube and Celebrity.
3. Report Abuse - But my blog is mostly clean and I follow all the rules.

4. My links! - Want to get in contact with my outside of this blog, check out my links!
Thank you for the support on my blog so far. It means a lot.

Here are some fun facts about the blog, I thought you should know:

The blog URL goodnight-socialite is 100% a Brobecks reference because I love that song and was super obsessed when I created this blog. If there was a profile picture option for the blog, it would not be a picture of me. It would be Dallon Weekes.

I don't know where "Dreamers Never Rest". I thought I heard it in a song by The Killers, but upon trying to find the song, I couldn't. I don't know where it came from, but it's fitting. I guarantee tomorrow I am going to listen to every single song by The Killers because maybe I missed it. Maybe it was in a Brandon Flowers solo song.

Zac Efron and Garrett Clayton are Basically the Same Person

I, a 21-year-old adult, is still a HUGE fan of the High School Musical franchise. In high school, had I been a better planner, I would have asked Lucas Grabeel to be my prom date. And even though I was older than most viewers, I did love Teen Beach Movie when it came out. In this post, I am going to explain how Zac Efron and Garrett Clayton are basically the same person. Let's start at the beginning. You may know Zac Efron as Troy Bolton in the Disney Channel Original Movie (or DCOM), High School Musical and it's franchise. He is the attractive blue-eyed, protagonist of all three HSM movies. And I will admit that I was a huge fangirl for him in my youth. Honestly, now I can't stand him. But that's for another post. Zac portrayed Troy in all three HSM films, but he only sang in the last two. That's right. Zac Efron did not sing in the first HSM movie. That was the amazingly talented Drew Seeley whom I will love till the day I die. Similarly, Garrett Clayton pl

Is Marvin from Falsettos Abusive? And Why is He Such an Easy Character to Hate?

Is Marvin abusive? Short answer: yes. Long answer: You've come to the right place. "I love my tight-knit family. I love the way they cook linguine." Let's get this out of the way, this blog, as all of my blog posts are, is 100% my opinion. Unless stated directly that it is fact, this is all what's going on in my mind. Thoughts from a fangirl, if you will. Also I have to use Spotify to link the songs, because the entire 2016 revival cast album is not on YouTube and I know the revival album better than the original albums. Also this post is going to be long because I'm actually going through actual lines from the musical. I am going to try to sprinkle some photos into this post. "Lovers come and lovers go." Listen to "Marvin Hits Trina" on Spotify. Let's start with the most obvious: Marvin hits Trina after learning that she's going to marry Mendel. Where can you find this scene? In "Marvin Hits Trina". It'

That Time A President Conducted Meetings from the Toilet

Happy Monday! Another week ahead. This week's weird moment from history is how President Lyndon B. Johnson conducted meetings and interviews while on the toilet. I learned way too much about LBJ while doing research for this post and it is going to be a LONG time before I write another weird history post about him. But there will be at least another one in the future. Man was weird. Quick history lesson for my non-Americans who may not know who LBJ is. Lyndon Baines Johnson was the 36th President of the United States. He assumed the position following the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He was president from 1963 til 1969. NOW if you're like me and you grew up with the rewatching the movie Forrest Gump over and over again your first introduction to LBJ might be when Forrest was being honored with the Medal of Honor and showed the president where he was "shot in the buttocks" during the Vietnam War.  I haven't watched Forrest Gump in years, but if you haven't
