I just saw a really good movie. I hadn't seen a really really good movie in a long time, so i thought i would tell you guys about it.
Any of you heard of Amazing Grace? It is starring Ioan Gruffudd, and it is about the abolition of the slave trade. It's the (mostly) true story of William Wilburforce as he took on the British parliament and challenged the slave trade.
it was dramatic, it was funny, the acting was superb, and it left you wanting to see it again right away!

and now the great dilema.
i am going to the pet store soon to buy a new frog and a new fish. I really wanna name one after Fred Weasley because i am a geek. now i was thinking about naming the frog fred and the fish george. but i dunno. because fred and george are identical. and obviously a fish and a frog are not.
so do i just name the frog fred and come up with a new name for the fish?
or maybe i could buy two frogs named fred and george . . . that might be overkill for my tank though. i dunno.
what do you guys think?

sometimes i just want to go home. like right now. which is kinda sad cause i went home for a night last weekend.
yeah for getting to do so tomorrow.
so i borrowed party of five season one from my cousin. and i'm completely addicted. which is weird cause it's about five kids whose parents die in a car accident. so you wouldn't think it would be something i could get addicted to right now. but i totally can! i just bought season 2 and it finally arrived. i wish they would release more. but i don't think they are going to. cause no one but beth and i have bought them . . .

and so ends my first week of dorm living.
i just got promoted to student head of the welcome team next year. however my guess is i'm not even gonna be living in the dorms next year let alone interested in even being on the welcome team. i hated it so much, but when i went to the person in charge with my suggestions she offered to have me help run it . . . we'll see how that goes.
it's not too bad. my dad calls me all the time and talks forever. but i can't say i blame him cause i call my brother all the time and talk forever.
i guess we shall see how classes go on monday!

nothing much new to report, but hadn't updated in a while. just got home from up north. it was fun, but my younger cousin was driving me crazy by the end of it. but that isn't really anything new.
basically spent the entire weekend away from home so that i could have time away from my family. i think it did some good. we actually had a family meeting that didn't end with someone storming out fo the room, so that is good.
i'll try to remember to write more often.

| horrible end to a horrible day |
[25 May 2007|01:47am] |
It's over. It's officially over. I will never see my mother again. However, I must say, i expected the funeral to go a lot worse than it actually did. I managed to hold it together fairly well. Fr. Henry's homily was perfect, and more a lot more people showed up to support me than i thought would.
when we got home, after a minor fiasco with the flowers where my dad forgot to tell me they were at the funeral home picking out which flowers to keep and therefore preventing me from being a part of that, the day seem normal. almost too normal. I went swimming at my friend Michele's pool, we sun bathed, and i was able to forget that things were not normal. until of course her little sister came outside and began asking questions like, "do you cry all the time now?" or "Do you think your dad is crying right now?" or "Are you sad?" but i was able to forgive her for that, as she is fairly young.
we went to dinner and my uncle assisted my brother and i in pulling a hysterical prank on my dad (not going to go into detail as i think you probably had to be there).
Then i decided to go see Pirates of the Caribbean At World's End.
Talk about a horrible movie. Once again, not going to go into detail as I'm sure most of you are going to go see it.
I thought it would cheer me up. Instead it plunged me further into the depths of despair as only a bad Johnny Depp movie can.
so maybe i'm overreacting a little. But only a little.
by the way, happy star wars day.

http://www.freewebs.com/biggestrentfan/audios.htm
definitely has a recording of the original new york theater workshop version of RENT. as in the song splatter (mark and roger coming up with numerous inventive ways of killing themselves) instead of the song RENT. it's amazing. seriously. check it out. the first two players are the current touring cast (who are amazing) and teh second three players are the NYTW version.

so my mom and i just got into one of the biggest fights we've ever been in. which resulted in her hanging up on me once and me hanging up on her twice.
until she called me in tears and for the first time ever admitted she was wrong and apologized. i almost didn't think it was really my mom on the phone

yeah so it's been a while since i last updated. but i had to tell you guys about my amazing experience on friday night. possibly the best night of my life
so i went to see rent with my dear friend britt at the wharton center. when it was over she said, what do you think about going to find the stage door? i was like, seriously? so we went
it took us some time to find the stage door and when we got there 10 other people were already there. they told us that mimi and angel had already come out and signed their stuff and told them that the others weren't coming because there was a party upstairs. as soon as they got done telling us that Maureen came running down the stairs to catch the bus with Angel back to the hotel. So she signed stuff for us and ran onto the bus then mimi ran down again to try to catch her. she didn't catch her so she signed stuff for us and took a pic with us. when she went up we decided to stay. after all, they had to come down sometime. so we stayed. and froze. an hour later the bus returned and we talked to the driver and he told us only 20 more minutes. so we got really excited. he went up to the party. 10 minutes later Mark came out by himself to see if he could get on the tour bus early, which he couldn't cause the driver had locked the doors. so he stayed and sang with us. it was soooooo amazing. we took our picture with him and stuff. he was so funny and nice. he was like, "I can't believe you guys waited this long, it's freezing out here! They won't let you stand inside to wait for us?" "No, they won't" "Assholes!" I thought to myself, they will probably let us go inside if you told them to let us . . . but at that moment everyone else came out. it was sooooo much fun. Roger was british and entirely gorgeous. too bad i didn't get his picture. but i got mark's.
i just friended the guy who played mark on facebook. Then i realized my profile pic is a cropped picture of me and him. wow he's gonna think i'm a creep . . .

my nutritions class is perhaps the most boring class ever. except for my iss class which i have later today. tuesdays and thursdays suck. i can't wait for the weekend. today i seriously thought about skipping this class. it was the closest i've come to skipping this class.
so i think i'm allergic to something in my nutritions classroom. every time i am in here i sneeze to the point where i can't control it.it's weird.
on the bright side jeff is coming to visit me this weekend. that should be fun.

so dave's started to act a bit more normal. maybe the weekend apart did us good. i hope so. he acted kinda strange again today. we'll see how it goes.
so glad to be back at state. can't even put it into words. i only miss finley and mike. mike and i got pretty close over the weekend. we stayed up til 4 every morning talking. it was weird. i was like, who are you and what did you do with my brother? not complaining though.
we shall see what christmas brings. though i don't really like christmas. and everyone gets mad at me for not liking christmas. which makes me like it even less.

| the mystery that is the lake house. do not read if you don't want the ending spoiled |
[19 Nov 2006|02:23am] |

my thoughts on The Lake House.
Do not continue reading if you have not seen the movie and are planning on it. I highly suggest that everyone see it. it provokes more thought than i imagined was possible. most confusing movie i have ever seen. continue reading if you want to read my mental breakdown as i try to comprehend this movie.
okay so here goes. so it follows kate and alex as they live their lives. however it follows kate in 2006 and alex in 2004. so kate moves out of the lake house and leaves a letter in the mailbox for the new tenant about how there was a box in the attic and it wasn't hers. meanwhile in 2004 alex opens the mailbox and sees her letter. that was written two years later, but really he's getting it two years before it was written. he writes a letter saying there is no way you lived here before it has been abandoned for ages. two years later kate has some guy die in her arms who got hit by a car at the daley plaza and she escapes by goign back to the lake house and finding his letter back to her that was written two years prior but hadn't shown up til then and they start a long distance relationship through letters. they figure out they have had some meetings and he figures out who she is but since it is 2004 she hasn't started writing the letters so he can't tell her it is him because she doesn't know him yet. she gives up waiting and tells him that they are going on a date the next day. so he goes and makes reservations two years in advance and tells her where they are for. she goes and wait and waits and waits and he doesn't show up. she gets pissed and tells him to stop writing letters. he doesn't but she stops taking them out so they stay in it in his time too. he puts them in a box and leaves them in the attic along with her letters.
two years go by so she is in 2008 and he is in 2006. on valentines day. which happens to be the day he dies. so in 2008 she meets his brother who tells her he died two years prior. she realizes that he was the one who died in her arms. he is in 2006 realizing that that is the only time that she actually told him where she was and so he goes to find her. she realizes that he only was there because she told him where she was so she drives really fast to the lake house and throws a letter in the mailbox saying don't come find me wait two years i'm at the mailbox crying. he gets the letter because he went back to get the letters from the box in the attic and therefore shows up as she is crying and you can tell that her memories still have him dying.
so who's reality is real? it seemed that since her reality came first his must be the real one. because he was dead in hers and alive in his and he ended alive then his must have some form of hierarchy over his. however it was her reality that altered his and caused him to not die. so hers has hierarchy.
so in conclusion, if he had gotten no letters, he would not have been at daley plaza and wouldn't have died. but since he got the letters he was there and died. this caused the letters to begin to be written in the first place. which caused him to not be in daley plaza and end up alive.
so the letters caused his death, but also kept him alive.
wow. i think my brain just exploded.

i miss meagan hanna. i have been having the worst week ever, but she came over and is making me happy. apparently she just joined the coast guard auxilary. that goes down as an "only meagan hanna" thing. i'm laughing now because no one who reads this knows meagan hanna. but it doesn't matter. because she makes me laugh. that's what matters.
ps. while watching the lake house, with subtitles, be careful when you pause it. i paused on a black screen that said "it was you". it creeped me out. that is all.

not to mention how mad the got when i called batman emo. it's just batman. give it up. he's not real.
and i decided to take a two hour nap. i woke up after what felt like 2 minutes. but no. two hours had passed. and i had to go to class. feeling no more rested.
and i have to write a 7 minute speech for tomorrow. and do a ton of math homework for tomorrow. and i don't know when i'm gonna have time to do these things.

| screw you mr. darcy |
[16 Nov 2006|11:55am] |
Clues you’re gonna have a bad day:
1.) you don’t sleep at all the night before because a certain someone made your life hell.
2.) Your dad forgets to virtual hug you the night before: he hasn’t forgotten in weeks.
3.) you realize that the volume was turned down on your alarm and if you hadn’t already been awake all night you wouldn’t have waken up.
4.) you can’t find your hair brush
5.) you go to brush your teeth and go to the bathroom and realize that it is closed for cleaning with your toothbrush locked inside.
6.) You don’t have time to go to a different floor to use the bathroom so you have to hold it.
7.) The bathroom is where the Kleenex is located. And you have a cold and no way to blow your nose.
8.) You do have time to grab your iPod. Therefore you turn it on shuffle. Every song you hear on your way to class is utterly and completely depressing. But then again that might be a good thing because if kate hears about happily ever after she might shoot something. And she knows who’s gonna go first . . . (if someone so much as says the words Mr. Darcy or Noah Calhoun she will, well you don’t wanna know what she’s gonna do.)
9.) You don’t realize it is raining so you wear your Birkenstocks to class. And your feet are completely soaked.
10.) You get to class late and run to sit down. Next to a girl who is eating a bagel. You smell it and realize you didn’t have time to eat. And are starving. And feel the sudden urge to pull the bagel out of her hands and eat it. But you don’t. so you’re still starving.
11.) Your friend you normally sit by and make fun of the class together decided not to show up when you could use the laughter the most.
12.) The wireless internet isn’t working in the class room so this is going to have to be typed on word and posted on lj later in the day. When there will probably be a post script about the other bad things that happen.
But the number one reasons I know I’m gonna have a bad day?:
I know if I try to tell dave about it I’ll just get made fun of because everything that bothers me tim and dave find some sort of reason why it is trivial and I have no right to be upset about it.
Like when I was upset about my neighbor being in the hospital and wasn’t told until a week later when I asked how he was doing. I went into dave’s room cause it’s hell to cry alone and he called me selfish. Selfish. That’s right. You heard me. Because I shouldn’t be upset that I wasn’t told. Because obviously my parents just forgot about me. And I should be upset he is in the hospital instead. I ended up saying “kate was just playing a game. Thanks for ruining it for her. It was called “pretend the only problem is being pissed at mom to the point where she forgets how scared she is to lost mr. Campbell.” Because she’s not sure what she would do if she did . . .

not to go all emo, but maybe some people just aren't made for happily ever after. Maybe some people were put on earth so god can make it look like he's finally gonna give them everything, just to tear it away again. over and over.
and why the hell am i starting this again? i promised i wouldn't. a promise made to myself and to others. a promise being broken . . .
