Happy Halloween!

My break hasn't been too bad. Went to Savannah a few times and finally got to see for myself how expensive the new Urban Outfitters is. Got some Christmas gifts there anyways, and stopped by Spencer's which I need to go back there. On the way home the third time I went Van bumped into a huge, scary black guy with Desiree's car. They complained to Progressive that they were hurt. What assholes, right? Van "bumped" into them. It can't even be called hitting them. Nothing happened and he had slammed on his breaks. I hate stupid people.

In movies, Angels & Demons looks good :) This would be the sequel to Davinci Code, which I need to read before it's released cause it's sposed to be pretty great.

I'm going to backpack across Europe. Might sound crazy to you, and I'm betting you're thinking that I'm just saying it and I'm not really gonna go through with it. Well guess what, I'm not that person. 3 years from now. Four* people that wanna do it, 1 of which I know is concrete on this whole idea. That's good enough for me.

London -- Amsterdam -- Paris -- Munich -- Venice -- Rome -- Home

I wanted to believe in all the words that I was speaking

Last night was Josh's Halloween Party. By last minute changes I just painted my face like the Joker in Dark Knight. I think I did okay, and it looked better today from minor differences I improved on it. Anyway yeah, I love Josh's house. He decked it out with decorations and he had a lot of good food. And we watched Prom Night which I hadn't seen before. Just being on a projector thing makes the movie better than I thought it'd be but it was still predictable. And I had a cookie that said Rip Aaron :) It was goooood. I even ate Van's, haha. Loraine won best costume and I missed the apple bobbing but it's k cause I suck at that.

Afterwards I went over to Lindsey's with other Lindsey and Megan. We watched Incredible Hulk and we all ended up falling asleep there. Woke up this morning, rushed to get makeup back on, and headed over to Van's where him, Rj, and Fernando were waiting. We met up with Desiree and went off to Savannah for her youth group. Everyone there is really nice :) Got free candy and explored haunted halls. Afterwards we sorta ran around, unicycling and what not. I got my picture taken from a couple people and one lady had me scare her friends, haha. We then met up with this kid Matt who agrees that mint chocolate chip ice cream is not the best kind so that makes him my new best friend. Sorry Van. Anyway we all did this compline thing where it was super quiet and had amazing music. And it was really dark. In a church. Funny experience though.

Got the Dark Knight. Disc is scratched but oh well. Thanks Brooke :) Also saw Quarantine the other night. Not great, but it did the job in scaring me and I don't regret buying a ticket so I'm glad I went. Atmosphere of that whole hotel was pretty creepy, and how everyone was totally oblivious that the people were dangerous was kinda bizarre. Oh and Death Cab is....words can't describe. Yep.

Blah blah blah.

if the world's at large, why should i remain?

Tonight was fun. I watched Boys Don't Cry with Megan, Lindsey, and Lindsey. At Lindsey's. Haha. We started Sunshine but no one was really watching it and we had to all go home anyway. Then after met Troy and Katie, where I watched guess what show with Desiree and Van. Van is wonderfully terrible behind the wheel. But that's okay.. I sort of encouraged it. Anyway, The Office wasn't incredibly funny but I still enjoy the series for what it's worth. Look forward to seeing those two again when me Des and Van all go to Savannah Sunday. We're all gonna be wearing costumes (which Van fashionably tried on a few ladies outfits tonight) and go to some cult thing and I'm gonna paint my face like Joker and just have a blast. Saturday is Josh's Halloween party which I'm super psyched for. I'm gonna be a jedi :D and Josh always has wonderful food to eat. Tomorrow, well.. today, I'm hanging with Van after school. We're making velveeta, packing it, picking up Michael, and going on a fun little trip. Looking forward to this long break.

I didn't go to school today because last night as I was burning the edges of my wanted poster for English, the whole dang thing caught fire and set off the alarms. I took a little break in my comfy bed, Megan failed to wake me!, and I couldn't go without my project, duh. So that's why I wasn't there.

The dork I am, I haven't bought a figure in awhile. But I'm kinda wanting this bobble head...

















Ha ha, I don't know. Maybe. I never need these things. I just don't have much else to do with my money. Well, $5 will go to a Dark Knight dvd since Brooke told me today that her secret friend has got it to sell! I am psyched :)

note to self

stop preaching; start listening

To know me all wrong they were

I don't know where I stand religously, but if you believe in a God, then please put Lindsey in your prayers. She had an accident and has to have knee/leg surgery Monday. She's going to be fine, but she's a wonderful person and I don't know why it happened. I think she'd appreciate it very much.

I've done some things that aren't very good through the eyes of some. I wanted to experience all aspects of life, that's all. I'm not a bad kid. I won't really talk about it because it's nobody's business but mine. Anyways, I'm done with that and am now moving on. I'm ready for whatever life wants to throw at me next. Like life after highschool.

I have thought about it a lot lately. The easiest thing to do would be to just take all my scholarship money and attend USCB or some other college in South Carolina that sponsors our school. I'd be living in an apartment because I couldn't handle being at home anymore, but it wouldn't be too tough. I love apartments anyway.. and want one as long as I don't have kids. but yeah. Easy way out, but I'm not sure if it's for me. Another idea is going to live with my sister Erica and go to UNI.. and Van could even come with, ha. Or maybe I'll just move to Hawaii and get into film. It's not bizarre to think about and it's certainly not impossible. Oh yeah, and I also want to go backpacking across Europe after my talk with Buddah.. soooo living with Erica would make that much more realistic :) I don't know, it's all so far off but it's been on my mind lately.

Edit: I failed.

I love you so much it's retarded.

Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist movie review

Saw it last night at the 9:15 showing.. this film came just short of impressing me. It made me laugh once or twice and the story didn't really suck me in. They tried to throw in this trendy feel like Juno, but it didn't click the same way. The writer just doesn't measure up to Diable Cody. There's not a lot of music to hear, either. Just some jingles and tunes in all the wrong moments. It didn't fit in the right way. I felt like they were trying to force it on me.. the way I was supposed to react in that part. And it was so obvious that it didn't work. There were a lot of references to gay love, with the Queercore band and the Christmas show, but at least that didn't feel forced. The joke around the gum that dragged throughout the entire film was kind of gross, and even though I know some people get it, it didn't appeal to me. The way they progressed through the events felt off.. like they randomly thought it up instead of brainstorming it all first and planning it. I don't know.. it just didn't feel like there was much reality. And for these types of movies, that's what I need. I need to relate to it somehow. That's why Superbad succeeded so well. You could relate to so many things the characters talked about. It's like they could read your mind and put your thoughts onscreen. One thing I was happy about though was Michael Cera's character. As great as Juno was, his character was much more believable in this film. I'm not sure who Kat Dennings is but I didn't mind her either. The two of them had good chemistry which was probably the film's strongest point. The asian kid was nice to watch with him always having a smile on his face, the best friend giving advice and giving motivation to the protagonist to open his eyes and go after the girl. All in all it's a feel good movie that will make you smile at least once, whether or not it's worth the price of an admission ticket. Maybe save your money and check out Blindness when it hits theaters.
