Star Wars mania is coming..

Hmm, scary.  Haha.

Now it's naptime.

I love LOST.

JediBL (5:16:38 PM): strangely enough, what you wrote as "kabassi" is actually spelled "kielbasa"

It has been noted.

last trip home before graduation, check

So, Easter break/weekend was pretty short...  I did a little shopping, which gave me a bad headache, of course.  I just couldn't find what I wanted, and I needed to get shoes for the Ball, and apparently unbeknownst to me they have decided that silver shoes are no longer necessary.  They go with everything, come on people!  I also bought a new skirt outfit, since I got an invitation to the Honors Convocation and don't really have anything to wear.  I'm sure I'll wear it during Senior week as well.  Rented a few movies this weekend: 

Being Julia - I can see why she won the Golden Globe.  The story didn't excite me too much, though.

Ladykillers - funny enough to rent

The Five People You Meet in Heaven - makes a pretty slow movie.  It jerked some tears, and was touching, but I hope I don't have to go through all that if I get to Heaven!

Jason and I went out for dinner on Saturday night to Bertucci's, b/c I had a coupon.  I had never been there before; it was okay.  Nothing special as far as Italian places go, but I guess I should try their pizza, which is really what they're known for, before I pass judgement.  Yesterday mom and I visited Grandma in Lancaster... that was nice.  I'm getting to the point where I actually enjoy playing Scrabble.  I came in second, with grandma kicking our butts as always.  She really knows all the tricks to that game.

So, today I'm gonna eat dinner before heading back to school.  I think we're having kabassi (sp?).  I still need to pack, and do my tax business, and I guess do a little more Latin homework..  I guess I better get started with all that stuff and stop procrastinating!

Things make me happy right now though.  :)

i love happy bunnies

:)

I don't get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here

And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

What if I'd been born fifty years before you
In a house on a street where you lived?
Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike
Would I know?

And in a white sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you

Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties
And one day passed away in his sleep
And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away

I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know
we belong
That I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

i don't know how i feel about this

Mo... Molybdenum
You scored 52 Mass, 29 Electronegativity, 62 Metal, and 20 Radioactivity! I like to think of you as the miracle worker in The Princess Bride... you can do anything and you do it for the betterment of society. Just because you can raise the dead and make flying wagons and stuff doesn't mean that you show off about it though. You are capable of forming bizarre webs of relationships in which individuals are accomplices, lovers, coworkers, and so on all at once. I once saw you hanging out at the center of a cycloheptatriene... it was completely freakish and bizarre, and I'm not sure I've known what to think of you since. But hey, to each their own. Oh, and stay away from the carbon monoxide... you suck that stuff up.


My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 91% on Mass You scored higher than 39% on Electroneg You scored higher than 68% on Metal You scored higher than 84% on Radioactivity

This picture is kinda cute!

and so it is

I tried to post this last night but my computer was uncooperative, so I'll try again but I don't remember what I said so I'll just write different stuff I guess.

Spring Break, pt. 3, consisted of The Sea Inside, Tootsie, more food of course, applying for some jobs.

Then I wrote a bunch of stuff here, then I deleted it because I decided I didn't want to post it because it's angry and sad.  Mostly angry.

Lots of work this week, choir concert this weekend, can't wait for Easter to come around so I can just go home again.

 

home sweet home pt. 2

I had a lot of memorable dreams last night and they were all pretty depressing.  They made me wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning (afternoon) I guess you would say.  It took a while to get out of that funk.  I'm out of it now, of course, but I hope I stay out of it after another session of dreaming tonight...

The week at home was nice and relaxing, if uneventful.  As predicted.  Activities included:  finding a dress for the Senior Ball, and an interview outfit (matches my new shoes!), seeing Shannon and Jen, finishing my book (Young Miles), eating out quite a bit, etc.  I did NOT do as much homework as I had planned to, surprise surprise.  As always, watched a lot of movies:

-Two Brothers:  yeah, I'm a dork, but tigers are cute when they're babies.  Not as great of a story as it could have been...

-Their Eyes Were Watching God:  I liked it.

-The Wedding Date:  B.

-Hitch:  Not as bad as the previews implied to me that it would be.  The whole allergy section was a little unnecessary, and the script was BAD at times.  But, not awful.

-Stage Beauty:  Claire Danes will always be Juliet to me.  A lot of random actors in that movie that I recognized but couldn't place..

-Shall We Dance?:  Mom made me.  Again, not as bad as I thought it would be.  Actually rather cute.

Okay, so I feel like that's a pitiful selection of movies, but Hotel Rwanda never plays except at 10 pm, Being Julia left theatres, we tried to see The Sea Inside tonight but they canceled the showing, and sometimes I must go see the romantic comedies!

Last night I tried to Google a bunch of people from h.s. who I wonder what they're up to (the people NOT on Facebook, that is), but no luck.  Are you out there?

I just finished a book on writing screenplays for my Film class, and the repetitiveness of this book really annoyed me.  The fact that the author put the points he likes to emphasize in italics the first time was enough....he did not need to do so every five pages!

My senior ball dress is beeeeeeeeeeeayyyyooooooootiful.  I will be a princess.

A good cause:  click it!

 

 

I think I'd miss you even if we'd never met.

 

I'm amused!

 

ONLY IN AMERICA

-Only in America......can a pizza get to your house faster than an
ambulance.

-Only in America......do banks leave both doors open and then chain the
pens to the counters.

-Only in America......do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the
driveway
and put our useless junk in the garage.

-Only in America......do we use answering machines to screen calls and
then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want
to talk to in the first place.

-Only in America......do we use the word 'politics' to describe the
process so well:
'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

-Only in America......do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille
lettering.


EVER WONDER


Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?


Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?


Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"?


Why is it that to stop Windows, you have to click on "Start"?


Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid
made with real lemons?


Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?


Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?


You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why
don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?


Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?


Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?


If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?


In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through
stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.

On an American Airlines packet of nuts: "Instructions: Open packet, eat
nuts."

On a child's superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable
you to fly."

On a Swedish chainsaw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or
genitals."

Word to the wise:  The thugz who makes a difference in yo life is not tha ones wit tha M-to-tha-izzost credentials, tha M-to-tha-izzost money, or tha mizzle awards.
They is tha ones that care.

Ahh, the excitement of spring break in Holland!  Holland, Pennsylvania...

It's been very nice, though, of course.  Not many friends are home, so this weekend I just spent time with mom.  That changes tomorrow though, with the standard trip to Olive Garden with Jen (and possibly a movie afterwards?)  I mentally went on spring break starting last Tuesday, I'd say.  That day my Latin class was cancelled due to the snow, so I had no classes all day.  I went to Choir though.  Wednesday was a pretty normal day, but I handed in two papers, thus ending the workload I had before break.  Also, our theatre department trip to NY was that night.  We saw House/Lights, by the Wooster group, which was very interesting - I won't pretend it didn't go flying right over my head though!  Thursday Latin was my only class as usual, but I skipped Choir, then went to watch The Notebook with Jen, Lori, and Liz.  As Jen says, it wasn't so much a tear-jerker as a tear-STREAMER.  They just kept streaming.  I though they were crazy to want to watch that movie and that it would be too emotional for all of us, but it was a good movie to watch I guess.  I didn't feel like going out for drinks too much afterwards, but we did; went to PJ's, which I've never been to before.

Friday I left for home around 1, got home at 2:30 and caught up on TIME magazines and sleep til mom got home.  Then we had dinner and rented I Heart Huckabees, which I found very amusing.  It's one of those randomly humorous movies, like one of Wes Anderson's movies, which not everyone finds as amusing as I do.  I don't know why it reminded me so much of one of his movies.

Saturday included DSW (two new pairs of shoes), Red Lobster, Willow Grove mall, and The Aviator.  Leo DiCaprio was fabulous imho.  I wonder when he'll ever get to outlive Titanic.

Today, slept in and then finally went to see Million Dollar Baby.  Morgan Freeman is outstanding.  I didn't cry as much as I would think I would, but I think that's because I'd heard so much about the ending before seeing the movie.  It's a shame.  I definitely think it deserved the Oscar, though I'm not a big fan of the whole shooting in really dark/blue tones. Don't know what the technical word for that would be...  And tonight we're having duck for dinner.  Yay!  :)

So, home has been nice and relaxing thus far and thank goodness we finally get a break!  It's about time.

A word to the wise:  don't try to get into Red Lobster on a Saturday night unless you're willing to wait an hour+.

personal post

I put together a bunch of quotes that seem to go along well with what I've been feeling recently.  They take up a bit of space, though, and not everyone would want to read them, so I decided to actually post them elsewhere.  I'd say don't click the link unless you can deal with me being self-indulgent and sad... otherwise this will just make you uncomfortable and/or annoyed.  Or maybe you just don't feel like readin 'em.  That's understandable..

Consider yourself warned..
