What's Your Word? Apparently mine is...

Your Word is "Fearless"

You see life as your one chance to experience everything, and you just go for it!
You believe the biggest risk is being afraid and missing out on something amazing.

Sometimes your fearlessness means you're daring. You enjoy risky activities.
And sometimes your fearlessness means you're courageous. You're brave enough to do the right thing, even when it's scary.

Believe me, that was more shocking to me then to anyone else. Fearless, me? Really? It's too bad that I don't always feel fearless- it would be nice to feel fearless in a permanent way. But I'll take my given fearless and try to live up to it more.

Wish me luck!

Oh, and of couse follow the link and find out What's Your Word? too.

I'm going to New York!

Wed, 17 Dec 2008 00:13:28 GMT

So I leave for New York tomorrow and I'm so excited.

I've been wanting to go to New York since I was sixteen years old and I'm finally going.

I'm a little nervous that I'm hyped NY up so much that I'll be disappointed but it is NY so that probably won't happen.

I'm going with my cousin and we rented this little apartment in Midtown Manhattan and we've already got like a hundred things we want to do.

Plus I'm going to see Shrek the musical which looked so cute, and it's Shrek so I don't think it can be bad.

Anyway I just wanted to post and share my news with anyone... you know, in case I die there so something... so if anyone out there is from NY or knows of places in NY that I have to go to let me know now.

Oh, and my exams are finally done- thank god.

Later,

Save your money, read the book

Sat, 22 Nov 2008 21:12:03 GMT

So I saw Twilight last night and what a disappointment.

I don't know if they drugged and gagged Stephenie Meyer during the whole process of casting, and making (not to mention why the hell was the make-up artist on this movie and why did they feel the need to make all the vampires look like geishas?) this film, because if she is okay with the disaster that made it to the big screen then I don't know that I have any respect left for her.

It breaks my heart to think of what became of such an amazing book, especially after I waited so long for the movie and had such high hopes for it.

I guess I should have known better- I’ve yet to see a movie that lives up to it’s book- but Twilight must have set new records for movies that suck.

If anyone wants me I'll be in my room re-reading Twilight till I succeed in erasing the memory of that (shudders) movie from my mind with the real Edward and Bella and just for kicks THE WHOLE REST OF THE CAST! Seriously, can someone explain to me why Bella's school friends had more lines and screen time then all of the Cullens put together?

This movie blows.

Beta needed... please

Wed, 12 Nov 2008 04:19:23 GMT

So have I mentioned that my friend is getting married?

What do you guys mean there is no way I could have since I haven't updated in about five months?

Oh! That’s right- I'd been much too lazy to update during the summer and much to busy with school to update now.

I should be doing homework; I'm updating instead.

Back to the subject at hand--- my friend is getting married... in September of '09... she’s twenty-two years old and I love her but I think she is way too young to be getting married.

I can't seem to get over this.

She asked me to be her maid-of-honor.

I said yes.

I still think she is way too young to be getting married.

Now that I got that off my chest.

I've been toying with the idea of writing an Oliver/Chloe fic (Smallville) and I got a very basic, first draft of the first chapter that I was hoping someone would Beta for me. I'm not in a big rush to get it out or anything but I feel like I need some feedback concerning the tone and the feel of the characters- if I'm keeping them in character and all that- plus feedback is helpful in staying away from writers block. Anyway if anyone is up to betaing, please, please, please let me know.

And I just caught up on Stargate: Atlantis.

Someone please tell me what the hell Dr. Keller was thinking telling Ronon she was interested in someone else?

That was disappointing and really not giving me any incentive to finish out the series.

Clearly, I'm not the happiest of people right now.

I think I should get studying- you know, since I'll probably need a future and all.

Ciao

P.S- I saw a production of Pride and Prejudice the other day which was wonderful. Jane Austen is a god; I'm thinking of re-reading the book for the millionth time. I thought you all might like to know.

Needed to post something so I stole a meme...

Tue, 10 Jun 2008 04:30:12 GMT

Shows I started watching in the autumn: Pushing Daisies

Show(s) I lost along the way: House, LOST, Smallville (I watch when I can)

Show(s) I picked up along the way: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Friday Night Lights

Show(s) I'm thinking of for next season: Dollhouse, Fringe (The new one with Joshua Jackson)

Best season opener: Terminator: TSCC

Worst season opener: Not that it was bad or anything but out of the last three seasons this year’s Supernatural opener was a little dull in comparison. It didn’t seem to jump in like the other two openers

Best season finale: CSI: NY, Grey’s, Terminator: TSCC

Worst season finale: Out of the shows I watch Ugly Betty is probably at the bottom this year; it’s beginning to seem repetitive.

Series that dealt with the strike well: CSI: New York, Bones

Series that did not deal well with the strike: Supernatural apparently, had the strike not happened TPTB had said that they had so much more story to tell to build-up to the ending. Not that the finale sucked or anything just that there was so much more in the middle that they couldn’t get to.

Show(s) I'm most disappointed in this season: Ugly Better- it worries me that they seem to be losing their edge.

Show(s) I'm most looking forward to coming back: Supernatural, CSI: NY, Bones, Pushing Daisies, Terminator: TSCC, Grey’s

Show(s) that really shouldn't have got renewed: Gossip Girl

Show(s) that shouldn't have been canceled: Nothing I watched got canceled so I’m good

Show(s) that I want to pick up/should have carried on watching: Stargate Atlantis, The Big Bang Theory

Prince Caspian is Gold!

Sat, 17 May 2008 05:25:00 GMT

I took my litlle brother and sister to see an afternoon showing of The Cronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.

It rocked!

It was two and a half hours well spent and I suggest everyone go and see this movie... and yes, I would go see it again, it was that good.

Plus, Ben Barnes is insanely adorable and I think I want to eat him up.

I can't wait for 2010, and the next epic movie in the series, I mean I love Harry Potter as much as the next person, but Harry Potter magic has nothing on Narnia magic.

In my opinion, of course.

Bela... we barley knew you

Fri, 09 May 2008 17:00:12 GMT

I can't believe it's been a month since I've last posted- I hate when life gets in the way like that- but I watched Supernatural last night and I couldn't not post.

Oh my goodness, what an episode. Last night was the first episode in a while where I actually had to turn my head away or where the sound effects were giving me chills; good job Kripke!

I must say that Kripke was right, by the end of the episode I did feel for Bela's character and now that she's gone I almost wish she wasn't. If only TPTB had thought her character through more, if only they had told us what had happened to her before. I understand that the big shocked was the ending where it's relieved that she also made a deal with the demon but would it have killed TPTB to have told us that she's been sexually abused by her father sooner? I mean in ‘Red sky at Morning’ they could have mentioned it- we could have found out that she killed her father because he was molesting her; it would have been understandable and her deal wouldn't have even had to have been mentioned.

It was a nice way to send her off though and my heart broke for Dean because if there is one thing Dean hates its women in trouble. Especially crying women and Bela was so damaged that saving her would have been a top priority for Dean if she had just let him in.

Bela would have been a interesting character to explore further if TPTB had given us something juicy to work with instead of making her very 1 dimensional and saving the character development till the end.

But seriously, who didn't call that she was connected to the CRD in some way? And by the end, with the creepy little red-eyed girl who didn't know that the demon that boys need to kill is Lilith?

Ruby has a lot to explain because is she tried pretending she didn't know that, Dean is going to kill her.

But Ruby rocks so I'm hoping Dean decided to have hot hate sex with her instead (*ducking for all the Sam/Ruby fans now trying to kill me*).

Back to the boy’s now- the scene where they split up in heartbreaking- it's so telling of what is to come. And when Dean let Sam go by himself, turned in the doorway and told him to be careful I wanted to cry because Dean knows that three weeks is not a lot of time and in three weeks Sam will be by himself. Dean is like a father learning to let his child go and it's hard for Dean to except his fate.

Hell scares Dean, and the thought of turning into the kind of thing he spent his whole live killing it most or less his worst nightmare... that and leaving Sam.

All I have to say is that Bobby had better make it through because without Dean, Sammy is going to need some type of center and Bobby is all he really has.

Have I mentioned that I miss Ellen? Because I miss Ellen something fierce.

I loved this episode, I love how hard Dean is holding onto his humanity even if he may be giving up his life- it's such a Dean Winchester thing to do- John would be proud. But Sam is the youngest, and he idolizes his brother and it's worrisome that without Dean, Sam will because cold and lost and a killer- not a hunter- but a killer. I have a feeling that if Sam starts becoming dark, that Dean will actually fight his way out of hell to give his little brother a backhand.

Maybe instead of trying to get out of the deal that two of them should use the time they have left to find a way to get Dean out of hell once he dies; ask Ruby, I'm sure she could help.

I can't wait till next week but I really don't know what I'm going to do without my boys for the rest of the summer!

Anyway in other news I passed all my classes with Bs or higher- I must say I'm proud of me!

Because it must be said...

Fri, 04 Apr 2008 23:39:42 GMT

Happy Birthday Heath Ledger, you are still greatly missed.

My thoughts go out to his friends and his fans and his family, but mostly to his little girl, who no doubt misses daddy, and to his parents, because something is universally wrong when parents outlive their children.

Stargate: Atlantis... I am so easily influenced

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 16:17:24 GMT

Today was my last class- I am officially done university for the year... well not officially, officially because I still have a couple exam dates scattered here and there throughout the next two weeks but at least I don't have to get up at the crack of dawn anymore and that’s all that really matters anyway.

The last two week have been a bitch though- I had a couple test and a few papers that needed doing; I left them till last minute naturally.

I must admit there is something so damn cathartic about handing in a project after you've spend so much time on it. And man was it hard; I had to create a psychology experiment that could be tested, it had to meet all criteria and rules (you know moral and whatnot). The professor is the nicest man you'll ever meet- so understanding and allowed some more time. He must have read over my paper like five times before I handed it in and after four days of none sleep- literally I think I got like four hours of sleep between Friday and Tuesday- I feel like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders when I handed him the paper.

All I know is that it's out of my hands now.

But I got everything I needed to get done, done so it's relatively smooth sailing now.

Somehow I've managed to hold a 'B' in my science class and I know NOTHING about science at all- it's odd but I'm not on to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Besides that I just stopped by to make sure everyone knows that I am not: I repeat not dead. _fullofgrace finally undated (and finished) her Sam/Ava piece ‘Whatever you do, don't look behind you' (link: http://community.livejournal.com/museinprogress/3016.html) and I highly suggest all Supernatural/SamAva fans go check that story out ASAP. Tonya is an amazing writer; make sure you comment and let her know that you want her to get started on another Sam/Ava piece as soon as possible.

Oh and about the me being easily influenced thing- I was browsing through livejournal and I can't remember who but someone's header on their livejournal page is Jewel Statie and Jason Momoa and they were so damn pretty together that I had to find out what show it was from.

I stumbled upon Stargate: Atlantis and watched a couple clips and music videos over at youtube and I'm so in love with what I've seen of the show- plus come on, Jason Momoa is so easy to look at, I'm surprised people don't watch the show just to look at him?- and now I'm slightly addicted and I need to know if anyone knows where I can find some Stargate Atlantis episodes. By some episodes I mean all of them, from all season- I need to get caught up.

And yes I know all you Stargate fans are sadly shaking your heads and wondering if I've been living under a rock all this time but no I haven't; I've been living under a pile of school books and essays and tests. I'm so over that now- on to Stargate!

Tue, 04 Mar 2008 04:02:23 GMT

Okay so I should be studying for a Psychology test I have on Wednesday but I had to stop in and post because

SUPERNATURAL HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN PICKED UP FOR NEXT SEASON!

I can't even get into how happy I am right now because there really aren't words; this is by far the best news I've gotten in a while. I guess I have to give TPTB over at the CW props for pulling their heads out of their asses and renewing this brilliant show- I'm still pissed at the WB for canceling Angel so it's nice to see them finally understanding the wonderful show they have with Supernatural.

Oh, and because I've been too busy to do this I’ll do it now

Happy Belated Birthday Jensen Ackles! (you pretty much get better looking with age- kept it up!)

Okay, now I'm off to watch the season finale of Terminator: TSCC (and if I'm lucky Terminator will be picked up as well)

A movie review cause RottenTomatoes sucks

Fri, 29 Feb 2008 04:50:28 GMT

Okay, so last Wednesday (Feb. 20th) a friend and I went to an advanced screening of the Christina Ricci/James McAvoy movie Penelope. Now, I've been wanting to see this movie since September when I caught a preview of it at the beginning of some movie I can't seem to remember at the moment. It looked lovely and fresh and witty and seriously it had James McAvoy in it which was more then enough. So I looked it up and found every little bit of information I could on it and I waited, and waited and waited till I was sure this would be one of those movies you'd die to see but will spend the rest of your life never having seen it.

I was wrong (thank god) so when I got the free passes I was so excited. My friend and I made a whole night out of it; movie, dinner and then Chapter and Wal-Mart to hang out and goof off. It was awesome.

So today I get my RottenTomatoe newsletter and imagine my shock and disappointment when I find that the idiots over there didn't give this wonderful little movie a fresh rating but a rotten one instead? I'm not sure they watched the same movie as I did but there is no way this movie doesn't deserve a fresh rating. Right now I am so pissed off.

And then I remembered that the day after I saw this movie I wrote a review of it for IMDB.com and I have now decided to post that same review here to right the mistake made my RottenTomatoes and to give people wanting to see it a different prospective. Be warned before you read though, there is a small kinda spoiler but I have marked it in the review so you'll know what to skip should you want to. All I can hope is that my review does this movie justice and that it inspires people to take a chance on this charming little fairytale.

Movie Review

______________________________________________________________________________

By: Girlygirl

______________________________________________________________________________

PENELOPE

This movie is amazing- it's like a dark(er) fairytale with humor and wit and moral in all the right places. It's not to fast and it's not to slow; it moves at a perfect pace and it does what not a lot of other movies can. It takes the time to make its characters real- gives them time to show more then one side of themselves. They are wonderfully 3 dimensional instead of flat boring clichés.

Christina Ricci (who has been acting for as long as I can remember) is still timelessly beautiful- with or without the nose- and manages to simultaneously break your heart and make you smile. After seeing this move there really isn't anyone else I could picture playing this role.

Catherine O'Hara is the funniest, craziest part of this movie. She is perfect in every single way and through it all- all the insane matchmaking and shrieking- you can still find the soul of a mother who only wants her daughter to be happy... and it takes a pretty special actress to be able to pull that off in such a crazy, crazy character.

Reese Witherspoon smartly decided not to play the main role but more of a sidekick/comic relief role and my god I forgot how funny she could be. She is a breath of fresh air as the first person who really befriends Penelope and she reminds you of your absolutely best girlfriend... or at least the best girlfriend you always wished you had.

And of course James McAvoy. Let’s start with the obvious; why is this man that good looking? But I'm happy to say that he isn't just a pretty face the boy is wonderful in this movie. You can really see a troubled soul in his portrait and at the same time a guy who know right from wrong. He doesn't go about trying to win her money but he genuinely cares for her and it's there in every single line. A lot of actors could have played this role but there aren't many who would have made this character as believable and soulful as James McAvoy did.

As for the two lead- Christina and James- they are magic together. They have incredible chemistry and play off each other flawlessly. SPOILER HERE- The one scene when he sees her for the first time and he stands there looking at her is so real. I watched it and it made me nervous- you could actually feel what she'd be feeling as he stands in front of her without saying anything. It's heartbreaking and it feels like that one moment is dragging on and if there is anyone out there who knows the feeling of standing in front of a room full of people and feeling like you want to die that is the exact same feeling you get from this scene. It was unbelievable.- SPOILER ENDS

As you've probably guessed I loved this movie- from start to finish- save for the fact that James didn't have his accent which made me a little sad. And I suggest that everyone go see this movie. It's a movie for all ages and I think many a young girl would benefit for the moral behind this story.

I hope this review helped!

Finally answering questions to a Meme

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 18:26:32 GMT

So here's the deal, if you want to be interviewed, this is what you do:

1. Leave me a comment saying anything random, like your favorite lyric to your current favorite song. Or your favorite kind of sandwich. Something random. Whatever you like.
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. You WILL update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions

And here are my answers to the questions autumn_whispers gave me. I’m sorry it took so long. I hope the answers satisfy.

1. Why do you love the Sarah Connor Chronicles?

What’s not to love? The story line is amazing, the actors even more so and isn’t is wonderful to see Summer Glau back on TV again. The characters in this show are tough but moving; you want to listen to every single thing they have to say and you pray that they’ll continue taking you along for the ride to save the world. The chemistry is off the charts and the action is mind-blowing. It’s really like watching a mini-movie every week. Plus John/Cameron is completely taking over my life. Again, if you’re not already watching T: TSSC I seriously suggest you get on that.

2. Where do you live and do you like living there?

I live in Canada (and I really don’t like to give out the specifics). For the most part I love, love, love living here- it’s absolutely beautiful and it’s vastly different from one side the of country to the other. But then there are winters like this one were it is close to minus 50 Celsius for weeks and weeks on end and everything is cold no matter what you do. It’s still beautiful and there are still those people that are all bundled up from head to toe going out to get a Slurpee but it gets really hard too. I always go on and on about how I’d kill to live somewhere warm but when it gets right down to it I adore where I live and would never want to have a warm Christmas.

3. Which is your favorite book of the Twilight series?

Twilight is my favorite book in the series for obvious reasons; the first of anything is always the best, the character introductions were superb, and the story was oh so fresh. As much as the other books are amazing as well nothing will top Twilight.

4. Name a band/singer that you're embarrassed to admit you love.

I’m not really embarrassed to admit to any band/signer that I love- if I was embarrassed I don’t think I could honestly say I loved there music As a kid though I was so embarrassed to tell my friends that I listened to Elvis, or Frank Sinatra or Dean Martin with my dad but now I’m so proud to say that I know all of that old classic music; I know all the music that really stood out and was real pure talent. I’m not embarrassed anymore; actually I have tickets to go see Tom Jones in June and I will tell anyone who will listen.

5. What’s your favorite snow patrol song and why?

I like pretty much all Snow Patrol songs but right now I’d have to say either ‘Set Fire to the Third Bar’ because of the deep almost jazz like feel to it and the words or ‘All that I have’ because it’s upbeat but not pop-tart perky and it has a crazy addictive vibe.

Alive and... well alive

Fri, 15 Feb 2008 20:09:48 GMT

I wear to God the world is out to get me.

I am so tired and lately it's been really bad; like falling asleep in class bad. I think it was just the fact that I owe so much money right now and school and weddings. I'm dead on my feet and stressed out to the point that I literally DID NOT study one bit for my test yesterday, I just went in a took it and felt so much better after I walked out of that class.

I went and napped in one of the halls during my spare after that- I really never understood how easy it was to fall asleep anywhere until I started University.

Next week is my Reading Week which means I get a full week off of school and I'm so happy at the prospect of sleeping in later then 6 in the morning for a little while. Plus it will give me some much needed time to catch up on school work that I let myself get behind in.

I have three projects due after Reading Week and I'm hoping to get them out of the way now so that I'm ahead of the game for once.

I think it may be the catch up game I'm constantly playing that has me so tired.

Oh a happy note though, I got the marks back from first term and I managed to get an A-! How I don't really know but I'm so proud of me... and I made the girls at my work hang up my marks on the fridge. What? I work at a day care okay; we're all about the praise.

Okay so other news- as of 2pm tomorrow my friend will have been married for a whole week- its insane and I still can't believe he got married! It’s like everyone I know is growing up and I feel like I'm stuck in a stand still until I get my life together and graduate University. Somebody please assure me that it gets better.

By now I suppose all and every Twilight fan has heard of the castings for the movie and let me be one of the many to add that Ashley Greene as Alice is perfect- by far the best casting of any of the characters though I like Elizabeth Reaser as Esme as well. Hate the girl they picked for Rosalie and the guy they picked for Jasper isn't really doing it for me but I'm hoping it will change since Jasper is like my second favorite character after Alice.

And who watched Supernatural yesterday? Wasn't that an amazing episode? I love Sam/Dean hug- even though Sam is a freaking giant when he threw his arms around his brother he just looked like a little boy who knew his big brother would always protect him. And the way Dean didn’t make any smart-ass remark but just seriously asked Sam how many Tuesdays he'd had was really telling. Though it's a little unnerving how everyone- human and supernatural alike- knows that both Sam and Dean's weakness are each other.

Preview for next week looks like it's going to be awesome, I can't wait... and speaking of awesome who loves Bobby? I do, I do and I loved seeing him last night (I loved seeing dark, Dean is dead and gone, Sam too though!)

Anyway here is a meme I got like a week ago and should probabaly get done- just read and follow the rules.

I stole this from

Going, going, gone... almost

Fri, 08 Feb 2008 05:49:03 GMT

So, I’m off to Alberta tomorrow for my friends wedding- I still can’t believe he’s getting married… or that I was crazy enough to charge all this to my Visa!

I’m gone for four day--- it’s like a nice little vacation; kinda.

I’ll see you when I see you

Oh, and

_fullofgrace- please post the end to your Sam/Ava story, it is honestly killing me here.

Later,

I'd say I stole this meme from xphoenixrising but they rules said that I HAD to so...

Wed, 30 Jan 2008 17:27:19 GMT

So here's the deal, if you want to be interviewed, this is what you do:

1. Leave me a comment saying anything random, like your favorite lyric to your current favorite song. Or your favorite kind of sandwich. Something random. Whatever you like.
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. You WILL update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions.

Now onto my answers...

1. Is your name reference to Sean Connery playing James Bond? If so, why is 'connery bond' and not any of the other Bonds? Yes my username does refer to Sean Connery as James Bond. I've been watching James Bond movies since I was born- I grew up with them and there is absolutely nothing like Sean Connery's Bond- he is Bond and nothing that Roger Moore or Timothy Dalton or even Daniel Craig (though him I like) can do better then Sean Connery did.

I've read so many biographies on Sean Connery or/and James Bond and there was this one part that always stuck out for me. The producers and casting directors of the first James Bond saw Sean Connery when he came in to audition and when they asked that he change his accent he told them he either does the movie with his original accent or he doesn't so it at all. So they told him 'thank you for coming, but they'd be going with someone else'. Apparently Sean Connery shrugged and just walked out and the movie people said that they watched him cross the street though the window overlooking the street and they said that the way he tucked his hand into the pocket of his suit pants and regally strolled across the street with such an air of confidence was all they needed.

They said that he was James Bond and they had someone run out to stop him. Obviously they knew something wouldn't you say?

Plus I beyond adore Sean Connery.

2. Bella/Jacob or *cringe* Bella/Edward? Bella/Edward... sorry. BUT to ease the blow when Jacob and Bella kissed at the end of Eclipse and she can actually see their future, she can see their could be-children I was almost a Bella/Jacob shipper. I can say though that I love Jacob and if Bella can't see how amazing he is well that's her lose and ~~I'm free~~... I mean I really really hope Stephenie Meyer thinks up a kick ass girl for him for the fourth book.

3. What is your favorite fictional pairing? Okay so if we're talking strictly books here, then I'd have to with Elizabeth/Mr. Darcy (Pride and Prejudice) or more recently Alice/Jasper (Twilight). If we're talking fanfiction then Angel/Cordy (Angel), Sam/Ava (Supernatural), or recently John/Cameron (T: SCC).

4. How old are you and what is your hair color? I am 21 years old and I have dark brown hair.

5. How many fics have you written? 50-ish give or take; there are some that are posted in one place and others posted in another. Plus I have about 6 or 7 fics sitting on my computer waiting to be Beta'd and posted.

Have Fun!

P.S- Check out the prettiness of my newest Sam/Ava icon!

P.S- Check out the kick ass Cameron/John icon _fullofgrace made- isn't she awesome!

I am officially accident prone- this is what Bella Swan must feel like...

Wed, 23 Jan 2008 03:30:40 GMT

Okay so I've been gone for a while- trying to avoid dying at this point. I ended up getting into this huge accident a couple days ago which was my fault but only because some old man cut me off and then took off. Anyway I've been a complete bitch and I figured it was probably best if I stayed away from the computer and LiveJournal until I cooled off.

I mean seriously I don't have that many friends to start with and I didn't want to risk losing any.

Some good news though I've finished Eclipse!

It was good but nothing like Twilight (that book is made of awesome).

*SPOILER ALERT* As much as I enjoyed Eclipse and all the Alice, Jasper and Alice/Jasper goodness that went along with it I must say I'm happy that Stephenie Meyer has decided to write a fourth book because I really don't like the way it ended nor do I like the fact that it seems Bella has been changed into a vampire. Nothing against vampires- Angel is love- but I really don't want her to be changed. I want Bella to find something to live for besides Edward and I want her to stay human. That's just me though and I highly doubt she will stay human but at least with another book I can hope. *END SPOILER ALERT*

Besides that I loved, loved, loved the book and I want to find a kick-ass girl for Jacob Black because he needs some love too.

Oh and I'm still enjoying The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I love John/Cameron and I need more of them. I've never had a Monday night show but I find myself waiting on Mondays now. Thank you Fox.

By the way Tonya- I am now waiting on the chapter to your Sam/Ava fic that you said would be up by the end of the month. Remember??? I've had the worst month and 2008 is shaping up to be a really bad year. Your fic is the only bright spot I've got! Besides my car accident I am now about a thousand dollars in debt, or at least I will be when all is said and done. Not only do I have to say for my car and my licenses, I need to pay for a concert ticket my friend bought, I have to pay for my parents anniversary present and dinner and not even two hours ago I just charged close to $350.00 on my Visa for a plane ticket. My friend is getting married, why he feels the need to get married in the middle of nowhere is beyond me but on top of the flight, I have to pay for a rental-car and a hotel plus my outfit and their gift.

I've decided that my options are becoming a drug runner, a stripper or a hooker- whatever works. LOL.

OH MY GOD- I can not believe the Heath Ledger is dead. I love him and he had a knack for picking really god roles. He wasn't about his looks which he easily could have been but he was all about improving his acting ability. I feel bad for his little girl and his family. Why do they all keep dying so young? I still can't wrap my head around it.

That's all I've got.

Ciao

P.S- My friend lost my ‘Tuesdays with Morrie’ book and I’m too broke to go buy another copy which is breaking my heart because I love that book and I feel that everyone should read it at least once in their lifetime.

Great job Team Canada!

Privileged Meme

Sat, 05 Jan 2008 18:21:47 GMT

Stole this meme off of _fullofgrace

From What Privileges Do You Have:

Based on an exercise about class and privilege developed by Will Barratt, Meagan Cahill, Angie Carlen, Minnette Huck, Drew Lurker, Stacy Ploskonka at Illinois State University. If you participate in this blog game, they ask that you PLEASE acknowledge their copyright.

What applies is to me is bolded.

1. Father went to college.

2. Father finished college.

3. Mother went to college.

4. Mother finished college.

5. Have any relative who is an attorney, physician, or professor.

6. Were the same or higher class than your high school teachers.

7. Had more than 50 books in your childhood home.

8. Had more than 500 books in your childhood home.

9. Were read children's books by a parent. Every single night, all the time by my dad- it was our little thing.

10. Had lessons of any kind before you turned 18. Piano

11. Had more than two kinds of lessons before you turned 18. Piano and dance though dance was not my idea and I quit after a year.

12. The people in the media who dress and talk like me are portrayed positively.

13. Had a credit card with your name on it before you turned 18. No way in hell. I did get one in undergrad to help pay for my school books and fees though.

14. Your parents (or a trust) paid for the majority of your college costs. I'm still in university so as of now I'm going to put this one and not #15 cause who knows if there will be enough money to get me all the way through.

15. Your parents (or a trust) paid for all of your college costs.

16. Went to a private high school.

17. Went to summer camp. Once, a bible summer camp- again not my idea but a friend really wanted to go and my mom thought it would be good for me to go so I went. Besides almost dying a couple times it wasn't that bad.

18. Had a private tutor before you turned 18.

19. Family vacations involved staying at hotels. I bold this one but in my life before 18 I went on ONE family vacation and the hotel was a really crappy one.

20. Your clothing was all bought new before you turned 18. I was an only child till I was almost ten so yeah most of my clothing were new but I did get some stuff from my older cousin from time to time and I started having to buy my own clothing when I turned about 12/13 years old.

21. Your parents bought you a car that was not a hand-me-down from them. The first car my parents bought my three months before my 18th birthday and it was not a hand me down from them but it wasn't new either.

31. Went on a cruise with your family.

32. Went on more than one cruise with your family.

33. Your parents took you to museums and art galleries as you grew up. My mom was half-owner of a Day Care Center when I was growing up- I more of less lived in museums.

34. You were unaware of how much heating bills were for your family.

18/34 = 53% privileged

Okay so I grew up a little better off then other people but there were other people that were much more better off then me. I'm happy to have been in the middle...sort of.

Crises averted...kind of

Sat, 05 Jan 2008 06:37:01 GMT

Okay so I'm not broken.

I'm talking of course about my last post and my foot- turns out it's not broken but slightly fractured which sounds really bad (even to me) but seeing as the only thing I can do is keep off my foot and rest I'm thinking it could have been a lot worse.

A special thanks must go out to

splinda though, for her concern; thank girly!

Anyway, I didn't end up spending all night in the emergency room as I thought I would- instead my mama (smart lady I tell you!) convinced me to leave the hospital last night and go back in the morning. Thank God I listened. Last night the wait time was going to be 7 to 8 hours and this morning I only spent about 21/2 hours in total in the hospital. Unfortunately that meant I had to miss university which I am so bitter about but what can you do?

Oh and as stupid as I feel about tripping UP the stairs it managed to get me out of work for three days. To quote my cousin, "sweet!" and I have a real honest to goodness doctor’s note! Isn’t that awesome.

Anyway besides my oh so fun morning at the hospital I spent the rest of my day relaxing (as to doctors orders and all) so after lunch with my mom, I went over to my cousins to baby-sit their little dog since they’re either out of town of at work and she can’t be left alone too long. Me and her spent the day watching TV (and sleeping for her) which was fun. Plus I watched Friday Night Lights and oh my god this show is unbelievable.

I think I've said this before after I watched an episode but WHY HASN'T ANYONE TOLD ME ABOUT THIS BRILLIANT SHOW BEFORE? I am absolutely in love with every little thing about this show and I think I am now a devoted watcher (right after I find somewhere to watch all of the previous episodes). And I don't so much know the pairings and what not but I completely *heart* Tim/Julie and Tyra/Landry.

Okay so that’s about it- I really just wanted to update those concerned on my situation and plug the awesomeness of Friday Night Lights.

I did both; my job is done!

Goodnight,

Damn it, I'm broken!

Fri, 04 Jan 2008 01:39:48 GMT

Okay so I was going to update this afternoon to let everyone know that even though I didn’t want to go into school today I’m really happy I pulled my ass out of bed and bite the bullet (sort of speak). My first class is awesome- it’s Abnormal Behavior in Children and I love, love, love my Professor. Unfortunately I’m on the waiting list and I have to go see him tomorrow to see if I’m in the class for sure or not since I want to buy the textbooks and get into them.

Then, before work I tripped up the basement stairs and I think I broke or cracked the bone in my foot so now I’m looking at spending the night in emergency waiting until it’s my turn which will take hours because I’m not dying- I hate life right now.

I’ll be back later- hopefully not too late though.

Seriously why couldn’t this have happened over the holidays? No, it needs to happen the first day back at school.

Later,

P.S- My mama felt bad for me and bought my Sushi again for dinner tonight! I *heart* my mama- even if she thought I was being a drama queen when I told her something was wrong with my foot.

I claimed Alice Cullen!

Thu, 03 Jan 2008 02:22:15 GMT

Okay so I stumbled upon a Twilight Blogcrew the other day and I was lucky enough to be the first person to claim Alice Cullen which means Alice is now mine <insert evil laugh here> but in all honestly can I BE Alice? I adore her. Anyway as part of the rules I now need to put my Alice stamp/banner somewhere on my journal so here it is.

Isn't that so pretty???

Anyway there are still people to be claimed so if you're a Twilight fan I suggest you click on my Alice banner and head on over to check it out!

Oh, I went for Sushi again tonight- I think I may be addicted.

And on a sad note- I'm off to school tomorrow :(

Ellen Page is an acting God

Wed, 02 Jan 2008 07:29:38 GMT

So I finally saw Juno and OH MY GOD- it is as good as everyone's been saying. Very witty and dry humor (my two favorite things in a movie) and as my subject alludes to Ellen Page knocks it out of the park.

I now have to add Ellen Page to the ever growing list of things that own my soul.

And in the movie- when Juno and her Dad are driving to meet Jennifer Garner’s character and she's starring out the window all I could think was 'Damn- that's my Bella Swan'!

I am now screwed because I am completely convinced that Ellen Page would be a kick-ass Bella Swan and I don't know if I'll be able to see Kristen Stewart in the role at all... which is too bad since I know I should at least give her a chance (I mean I did just sign a petition supporting Robert Pattinson as Edward and should probably offer the same to Kristen), but I've liked Ellen Page for a while and now, after Juno I really, really want her to play Bella. I could really see her as Bella.

Since it's probably not going to happen that way I suppose I'll just have to live with it... or at least try to.

Is there anyone else out there in blogland that goes to bed each night and prays to the movie gods that they don't completely fuck up the Twilight movie (with in turn ruins the magic of the book because the movie will be permanently stuck in your head)? Because as of late I've been doing just that. Anyone else out there? Anyone?

Anyway I'm off to bed- tomorrow is my last sleep-in-day as school starts on Thursday- so I'm trying to get in as much sleep as I possible can.

Oh and resolutions for 2008:
1. Lose weight (technically I've already started this one in September and am proud to say I'm down about 25 pounds but I still feel the need to put it up here).
2. Stop cracking my fingers (this one is going to be hard)
3. Learn to cook (not bake which I'm awesome at- and she's modest too!- but really cook)
4. Make more time to get together with friends instead of seeing them once ever couple of months

Those are the most important (I suppose I SHOULD put 'learn to save money' up there as well but, oh well), and pretty much all I could think of right now but I guess I can always add more resolutions as I go.

Later,
