For the past week, life has been nothing but bad news. I’m sick of it all, so I just needed to get away from it all. I chose to watch some movies with my little brother and sister. Usually, I’m that kind of girl who chooses the heavy drama movies such as the Pianist or Hotel Rwanda. But this time, I chose some kiddie movies, for my siblings sake.
I watched Bolt with them. And soon after Bolt was finished, they both fell asleep leaving me to choose any movie I want. Today, I needed a happy ending, so I chose the Princess and the Frog. Boy did that movie make me smile. The storyline was amazing, not to mention the music. My golly, it was jazz! Because it was set in New Orleans, it must have a jazzy flavor, if you catch my drift. I’m kind of tempted to buy the soundtrack to the movie, after a couple paychecks or so. (I need to save, desperately.)
I don’t want to sound emo, but I miss crying during books or movies. All too often, I’ve been sulking on my problems. Problems that I didn’t start, but were kicked on my door step - Problems that I can ignore and pretend as if it never happened. But the itch keeps on building and building. I also get upset on the stupidest things, but it’s not my fault. I guess when you are so deep of a feeling, whatever the thing that interrupts the equilibrium, it just causes an uproar.
Plus, I guess I’ve been somewhat misunderstood. It’s by people who aren’t really close to me, but closer to someone else that IS close to me. (Hopefully that makes sense). Why do so many people be succumbed to upsetting, scandalous gossip? Does that really help you? Sure, it will cause convseration, but is that something you really want to discuss? It saddens me that I can’t really trust anyone lately. There have only been about three people who I have confined to about my problems. And I know that none of them will blurt it out to the world. I kind of want to tell them flat out that it’s wrong and what they are discussing about me is not like me at all. Two quotes come in mind about this topic. First is Michael Jackson’s lyric from his song “Childhood” “Before you judge me, try hard to love me.” It seems as if people these days are not even trying and just watch me burn.
And the next, "Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people." Be that great people.

(I love Eleanor Roosevelt quotes.)
Anyways, the remaining days of my summer are going to be hopefully eventful. I am planning on visiting my favorite bandos on Wednesday (okay, technically today) at their band camp. I am only posting this because I know they aren't going to read this so there! (They don't update their blogs as much, which makes me sad. *hint*hint*)
My ass really hurts. I can't believe I said that. But it was because I decided to spend the day with my sister at Horse Camp. Funny thing is, I am going tomorrow and I am the oldest "camper" there. It's a day camp, thankfully, but it's interesting how the "counselors" are 12, 14, 15, 16. haha It's sad to see how one "counselor", who is 12 is totally bitchy to the younger kids and it makes me upset. Just because you are older doesn't make you a better, wiser person. Damn, but she needs to treat these kids with respect and not treat them like idiots. They have ideas too. Respect them.
But anyways I should sleep now. I am pretty much done packing for school but I should do more last minute laundry. I don't trust my pillows... haha
Oh and I'm watching Larry King right now and they are debating gay marriage. And I love how there are FOUR DIFFERENT opinions, however there is too much arguing. Not to mention, they all aren't in the same studio. One priest, who is in the debate is all the way in England. While a lesbian radio-talk show host is sitting next to a Bishop. Oh boy.
I want to read Eclipse but I am pretty tired. I fell asleep watching my tivoed history channel thing on Sex in World War 2. It was about Hawaii's "Red Light" District. Who knew prostitution was okay back in the day? Hell, it was TAXED! I love learning! I am the biggest nerd you'll ever meet and you won't even notice it.
And wow, I am really excited to see my bandos! Ah I love them so much!!
And I forgot about this... Day 4: Your favorite book
Ummm.... I really liked the Catcher in the Rye.
I also loved Anderson Cooper's memoir.
Oh I had a wonderful time reading the Devil Wears Prada during my sophomore year of high school
PREP was amazing. If they were making it into a movie, I want to play Lee! (I read this during the summer BEFORE my sophomore year of high school. Damn, four years ago since I am going to be a sophomore in college.)
I don't read much. I have been obsessed with the Harry Potter series when I was in the 7th grade. I read the first three books each in three days. I took about two weeks to finish the 4th book. The beginning of the 5th book was too emo. I stopped reading. I shall return reading it soon.
And I'm currently reading Eclipse... I love the Twilight Saga. I think I would rather live in the Twilight world than the Harry Potter world. But check up on me again when I have completed both series.
I took a lot of time on this. I have a TON of books I want to read. It would be silly to restart books that I've already read. But we'll see.
=)
