I realised....

I've realized that I get excited over a lot of things. Today I got excited over seeing Twilight for the second time. I really should be focusing on studying for my finals but movies are so much better to think about then finals. I'm not looking forward to my lit final. I think it's mostly going to be on Frankenstein, which I didn't like all that much. My professor gave us a few questions that he said "might" be on the final. Most of the questions are about the myth of Prometheus and how it helps us understand the story and how the Creature's education helps us understand him and his position. I'm not looking forward to that. I'm also not looking forward to my French final but my teacher said as long as nothing tragic happens on my final I should get an A.

I forgot to say that I finished one of the books that I wanted to finish this weekend which I think is a good thing. I finished A Wallflower Christmas yesterday afternoon. It was rather amusing because I read most of it in one sitting. It took me a little longer then I would have hoped because I kept looking up from the book to check the score of whatever football game my dad was watching. When I was almost done with the book my friend was shocked that I had just sat down and read the entire book. My defense was that it wasn't that long of a book (a little over 200 pg if I remeber correctly) and she was like I don't think I've finished a book since the last Harry Potter and so it was my turn to be in shock. I could never go that long without reading/finishing a book.

Christmas!!!

It is officially the day after Thanksgiving. I have eaten my turkey and watched to much football. I've even eaten most of the leftovers. You know what this means? The Christmas Season is officially finally here. I've been waiting since Halloween to play my Christmas music and watch all of my favorite Christmas movies. (I cheated a little on the movies. I watched Holiday in Handcuffs on ABC family last Monday.) I can guarantee you will be hearing about a few of my favorite Christmas movies and my favorite songs before the season is up.

Actually I think I'm going to do that right now.

Favorite Christmas Movies:
A Boyfriend for Christmas
A Christmas Story
Holiday in Handcuffs
It's a Wonderful Life
Pretty much any Hallmark Channel Movie

Favorite Christmas Songs:
Mr. Heatmiser
Santa Baby
Christmas in the Northwest
Last Christmas
Forget December
Hard Candy Christmas

That's all for now. I'll be talking more specifically later. Have a nice day!

Give Thanks!

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving which means lots of good food or at least good smelling food. I want to say that there is alot I am thankful for this year and I hope that next year is just as good.

At this very moment I am most thankful that the house I'm staying in has internet. YAY!!! I didn't think it was going to so I (sadly) was rather depressed at the idea but when I got here I checked to make sure that it didn't and it did. YAY internet!!

I'm probably not going to post tomorrow unless I get really bored and read a book (which I haven't really done it awhile). I wouldn't put it past me to read a book tonight. I do have two books that I hope to read over my mini vacation.

Proposals Gone Wrong

So apparently the guy that originally proposes to Jo wasn't Laurie and was Teddy. I have no idea where Laurie came from. He has to be a main romantic character in some movie and/or book that I've read but I don't know and it's going to bug me until I remember. Anywho, this is a really funny video.



Edit: I just discovered that I was right. His name is Laurie but she calls him Teddy.

An Old Fashioned Thanksgiving

Last night I watched the cutest movie called An Old Fashioned Thanksgiving on Hallmark Channel. It is based off of Louisa May Alcott's short story of the same name. It actually kind of reminded me of Little Women in some ways, especially with Tilly and Gad. When Gad proposes and Tilly says she's not ready I almost burst because I didn't wan them to end up like Laurie and Jo in Little Women but then Tilly rethinks her decision and says yes (thank goodness).

Twilgiht

I saw it! It was actually pretty good for a book to movie adaption. I thought that they tried and hurried it a bit instead of focusing on some details but I do understand that they couldn't do every single part of the book. I think they did a good job with the dazzling but was disappointed it wasn't in the meadow. I liked the chase and how they did it, even if I wanted to see the airport. I thought that at some points Edward was very un-Edward in how angry he got but this is just my opinion and maybe in the book I just didn't imagion him getting as angry as Stephenie Meyer thought he was. I really enjoyed all of the music but then again I've been listening to little else since I got the cd a little over a week ago. I hope that if you choose to go see it that you arn't dissapointed.

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So yes I am very excited I got my tickets for this afternoons showing of Twilight. I am very excited to see it. I'm not going in with very much expectations because I don't want to be to disappointed if I don't like it. I will probably write my opinion on it later today or tomorrow at some point. Also, being the weird person that I am, I went and saw the line for the midnight premiere because I was a little sad that I wasn't going (even though as I was looking at it I thought of going and buying a ticket right then and there and getting in line). The line at one theater wasn't as long as I was expecting but the lines (yes, lines) at the other theater where crazy. They had line going around both sides of the building with signs for what theater you where in determining what line you where in. It was crazy. So I hope everyone is pleased with the movie when all is said and done.

Bond. James Bond.

I went and saw the new James Bond, Quantum of Solace, with my brother this afternoon and it was actually better then I expected. I loved the beginning because it took place in Sienna, Italy. I went to Italy for spring break 2007 and we went to Sienna and I have pictures of where they shot the movie and it made me want to go back. Also, another good thing about it was that Gemma Arterton from Lost in Austen. Yes she wasn't in it very much but still I liked her. I liked the fact that we could have a main Bond girl that doesn't have to sleep with 007. Overall it was a very good movie but make sure you know what happened in Casino Royale because Quantum of Solace is a sequel.

I want...

I want to write a book. Yes it is very ambitious. I really want to do it thought even if I have no idea how to go about doing it. I've written a few short stories and am wondering if I should continue them/expand them or if I should start a new story. If I start a book should I outline what's going to be in each chapter or if I should just wing it. Hmmm.... I should think about this. I know I can start to plan it during Thanksgiving break since I hopefully won't have much homework.

Fairy Tales

I love fairy tales! I always have. My favorite thing growing up was watching Faerie Tale Theater with my cousin and grandma. I've recently been really into mermaids and I found this promo for Disney and it has Micheal Phelps and Julianne Moore as mermaids. I'll tell you more about my obsession some other day but I just had to share this photo.

Man..

I hadn't realized that it had been a week since I had last posted. O well, I've remembered.

In the last few days I have become very obsessed with musicals. I have been listening to my cd's of Aida, Rent, Singing in the Rain, Hairspray, The Little Mermaid, Legally Blond, and what ever else is on my computer. If you've never heard of/never realized they were a Broadway musical you should totally look into listening/seeing them.

I'm very excited for this weekend. I'm going to see Quantum of Solace with my brother! Yay for James Bond!!

The Pie!!

I DID IT!!! Yesterday night for dinner I made a sweet potato pie. It turned out all right, a little on the watery side and sweeter then I was planning but I did it. It wasn't burnt or undercooked and it was my first pie. I'm very proud of myself.

Isn't it beautiful! It kind of sloshed over on the part infront when I put it in the oven. I had a little left over so I put it in a little dish without a crust. I hope you enjoy looking at it.

Cold

The season of colds and illness is back in full force. That's right school has been in session for a while and the rain has begun. No more outside or open windows and no more sun (at least not in the normal amount).

I've been out with a cold or virus of some sort. It started out in my throat and then you'd think it would of moved to my chest but no it moved up to my nose and there it has remained, not fun. It has been especially hard since I had mid-terms last week and it made it a bother to study. I have been downing tea, water, cough drops, and Tylenol. I want my normal life back!
