My new hair

Lately, my hair's been pretty long and I've wanted to lopp it off. Today, the lopping was scheduled. Ready?


I absolutely love it! I think it looks cute and fun and perky.

Home Alone

Yesterday, Dad was out of town, and Mom and Kathryn were at a Tony Bennet concert. Originally, Dad was going to the concert, but he decided to let Kathryn go. Then, she, being the really nice sister that she is, offered it to me. And ME, being the AMAZING sister that I am, said I knew she'd enjoy it more and to have fun. Soooo, I was alone in the house ("alone with my goldfish"-Big Jon and Sparkie).

What was I going to do with all this free time? "Anything I wanted."-Father of the Bride
See, this really is movie quote central...except Big Jon and Sparkie is a radio program. No matter. It's a quote.

Well, I had to figure out what I was going to do with the free time I'd have from 3 to 11. First thing, school. Yes, I'm good like that. See this angelic face? :D Anyway, knocked that all out and then rubbed my little hands together with GLEEEEEEE!!! And the little hands, is not a hyperbole. I do have hands that are the same size as a 12 year old's. And, she's not done growing. :(

Weighing the time, I decided I could eek out 2 movies of reasonable time. Well, I shouldn't waste these picks on something that someone else wants to watch; I need to do things NO ONE else wants to watch. What did I pick? Appetizer=The Last Song. Now, don't go groaning. This was my night to watch the movies I wanted to watch. This will be ever enforced with how my entree was Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. Personally, I think this movie is hysterical! The lines are so witty! I don't know what it is, but I've enjoyed it thoroughly both times I've seen it.

Yes, I had a very fun time. It was good to be by myself for a little while and relax and kick back. I'm not a huge one to be by myself all the time, but once and awhile, I really enjoy it.

New Post

Wow, I haven't posted in forever. Hmm, what do I have to talk about? Not much. I wore a skirt today. :) Just a casual, white skirt to school, and I felt pretty. :D hahaha

Ooh, this is something, but I'm risking my 16 year old prowess by admitting it. Until about a week ago, I'd never read Stuart Little. Yeah, yeah, quit screaming at me. I was not a big reader when I was the age to read that. Anyway, the best point is that I finally got around to reading it. And, I was really enjoying it. I was like, I should've read this awhile ago.

"But Benny did not know what they were going to find the next day." - Surprise Island (book not movie)

So, I kept reading and reached the second to last chapter and Stuart became a little pill. To finish it off properly was THE most anti-climatic, unsatisfactory ending ever!!! I was so dissappointed. I was also quite a bit annoyed that I'd spent good, solid reading time, in reading a book that as a whole is a dud! Now, I love Charlotte's Web, but this? Ug.

What am I reading now? Well, I'm still wallowing through the dense pages of Les Miserables which I'm enjoying but it's just slow going as I aforementioned that I was wallowing. Usually, you don't get the idea of going fast if your wallowing. Wallowing gives the idea of plugging or plodding slowly through nice cool, brown, sludge. Wallowing also gives the idea of how the Biggest Loser show is going because it's taking soooooo long to get through the show. It's well known that I don't care for that show.

So, since I've now just given you a nice, rather nasty, in-depth definition of the word wallowing as it goes to Meaghan, I shall leave you now. BYE!!!!

Really Fed Up!

Okay, does anybody have any clue how to get the formatting on this blog to go back to normal? All other posts, except the last two, have published just as I typed them. However, on the last two, they've cdombined my multiple paragraphs into one big mass of words. It not only is hard to read, but it looks stupid. I really would like to get the thing back to normal, but I can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

Pearl Harbor

Okay, so I was talking in my last post about a new movie I recently watched but there was such a story behind it that it needed it's own post. So, here is the story. It's not a big story or anything but I have nothing else to write about right now and I'm somewhat bored since my Eng. class just got canceled and I have to wait another hour for my next class with nothing to do. Wow! Talk about a run on sentence back there. :D I told you my Eng. class shouldn't have been canceled. :D I do not like sad things which I'm sure you all know. I don't think many people like a lot of sad things. My position is that in movies, you should enjoy yourself and why watch something that's going to make you cry and depress you? There is a very rare movie that I will voluntarily watch if I know it's sad. The first of these was The Last Samurai which is such a good movie. It's probably one of my favorite sad movies, but that's not saying much since I already explained how I don't watch a lot of them. Anyway, this post is not on The Last Samurai; it's about Pearl Harbor. Some time ago, I watched the last 20 minutes or so of the movie with Dad. I often will watch odd bits of various war movies with him. The end was very sad, as all of you who've seen it know. While I didn't understand some of the dialouge, I still thought it was good. Well, recently the movie came on TV, on AMC, which is edited. So, since it was of some interest to me, and I had nothing else to do...(actually I did, but it wasn't pressing) I decided to watch it. While the movie's premise is an attack, the movie is more like Titanic in how it focuses on people and then gets to the calamity that the people are involved in. Henceforth, the beginning had nothing to do sadness. In fact, the beginnnig is pretty funny, especially the "shot giving" scene. So, I was watching this movie and enjoying it more and more. And then it came to the attack, and my goodness, it was sad. It was also very well done which made it more sad 'cause you felt like you were there. Well, that's pretty much when the sadness kept up until the end. When I finished the movie, yes, I felt sad, but I also felt good from watching a good movie. It is rare when a movie make a technical impression on me as being good. This was one of them. Some of those scenes paired with the music were just...really cool. Kathryn, who had been out of the house for the last 2 hours or so, came in to find me still watching the movie. She was very surprised that I'd even started it, let alone finishing it. Then, when I said I liked it a lot, she started to laugh. She said she found it very funny that I pick such random times to watch the randomest movies that she'd never expect me to watch. This led to a long conversaton about how I appreciate certain movies different ways. Well, now that I've written it, it doesn't sound nearly as "story-ish" as I thought I did. I guess I just wanted a post to show how much I enjoyed the movie. Now, I just need to get Kathryn to watch it. ;) I'd put a quote from the movie down here, but none of them really fit out of contex.

The Happening

Wait a minute, wasn't that a movie made by Shamalamalama man? Well, if it was, this post has nothing whatsover to do with that movie. And did I spell whatsoever right? I don't know. I'm not quite myself right now. I've recently just had some of the worst pizza a human can consume and it's seriously messing with my brain waves, so please excuse any blunder to my grammar. By the way, I just took a break to eat a Reese's cup and that has helped focus me...somewhat. I'm here to post a new post (wow, I should just stop now) on my blog because I feel like it and I'm tired to seeing the same old one at the top. This is going to be just another post that sums up what's been Happening (now you get the name, don't you?) to me lately. As you may know or not, and I can say this because I have a closed blog, my parents have been in New York for the past couple of days. Anyway, so Kathryn and I have been trying to use our time wisely. The TV to school ratio was very well managed. ;) In my school area, I had a rough draft of an Eng. paper due and a test in my Gov. class. So, the pressure was on me to definitely pull through. My paper topic was the adaption of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe to the movie. Because that's way too broad for any paper, I decided to narrow it down to focusing on character, plot, and overal feeling. The paper was supposed to be at least 750 words. Now, because of all the Nano-ing that I've done, this did not seem like any issue to me. And, turns out, it wasn't. I began to write the paper and, upon finishing the third on the characters, I checked the word count. I was in the 900s. I then went to the top of the page and changed one of my sentences. "I shall be focusing on the characters," hahahaha. It felt very good to complete the paper, and I thought it was well done. However, my Gov. test is still hanging over my head at this point. I knew this would just take regular studying because I was more nervous for this test than the one I'd previously aced. Today, I went in and did my best and I'm pretty sure I did well. I seemed to understand it pretty much. Now we get to the fun stuff, MOVIES!!! I'll specifically touch only one of the new movies because the other gets a post too inself because of the story with it. On the list to watch for a long time was Charlie St. Cloud. I mean, it was a Zac Efron movie so we HAD to watch it. I mean, oh my goodness, you know?! Hahaha, not really, but we still wanted to watch it. I did not care for the movie. It was sad (which I expected) but it didn't...I don't know, almost didn't flow. I guess I wasn't satisfied with the ending. And, I recently was feeling so tired that I actually had to take a nap. After waking up, feeling very refreshed, my left arm felt like a dead-weight arm, but more like a half-dead-weight arm. I tell you, it's the freakiest feeling. Wow, such an odd post. BYE! Disclaimer: This post may have been choppy but I was writing it while watching Chopped. The pun on this was not intended. And wait...isn't a disclaimer supposed to go at the beginning?

My Friend Flicka-the book

I recently finished this book and greatly enjoyed it. While it's not a very prominent classic, it's still very well known. Except for the first two chapters, the beginning was fairly boring, but the middle to the end was very good. It was very well written with great imagery. If you need something to read, I encourage you to pick it up.
