Monday, November 1, 2004 mood: sleepy but not . . . which totally makes sense
Halloween was dull. I went to safe street w/ my mom, my sis, my mom's friends and their kids. I felt so old, everyone there was so much younger than me. And I'm pretty sure some of the kids passing out candy were younger than me to.
Aw well, whatcha gonna do?
I mean Halloween is still cool I guess. You get free candy. And how can I say no to anything that's free, especially candy.
We went thru the haunted forest getting candy and then we rode the little kiddy train. After that I wanted to eat, so my mommy bought me a hot dog. Then mom's friends couldn't find us so they left.
Mom made us ride the merry-go-round. There was this cute guy there who was helping all the kids. He had on a varsity jacket and on the back it had his last name. His last name was the same last name as someone I knew in middle school. It's very likely that they're related. I mean sometimes it seems everyone in this stupid town knows or are related to each other.
Which is why I want out. I can't wait till I can move outta this sorry place. It'll be hard on my 'rents cuz they'll probably be putting 2 kids thru college, but I think they'll be okay.
Anyway, after the merry-go-round, I made my mom take us to the forest again. I wanted more candy. I have enough candy to last the rest of the year maybe. Plus nobody in our neighborhood goes trick-or-treating anymore, so we still have candy left over.
The computer is being bad. I should get mom to call that dorky computer guy, he might be able to fix the problem. Comment! (1) | Recommend! Sunday, October 31, 2004 Yeah, The White Stripes totally rock  . Woooo! I love this template design! Most of the template was made using the UTB, but I snatched the background off the internet. I wanna learn CSS so I can make this better. How do you code music to put on websites? I wanna change the song to a Stripes song, but I can't find any music codes for them.
Well, for now this is cool, at least until I get bored of it and want to change it.
Oh, I'm such I dork, I think I'm addicted to nuTang!
Comment! (0) | Recommend! Saturday, October 30, 2004 . . . here we go again I rented three movies today. They are: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Coffee and Cigarettes and Dirty Pretty Things(and it's not the type of movie that you think it is-SICKO!).
I watched Eternal Sunshine first. I had already seen the movie when it was my cuz's birthday. From begining to end I was captivated. It's a romantic comedy that doesn't insult your intelligence. What I mean is, it's not as predictable or cliché as other rom-coms. The relationship between the two main characters is completely believable. Joel is a wallflower who really has alot to say but he doesn't because he's so insecure about himself. Clementine is the exact opposite. She's loud, kinda rude and open about how she feels. But it's obvious she's just as insecure as Joel because she always changes her hair color. It's like a facade for her. They "complete" each other (excuse the Jerry Maguire reference).
The story of Sunshine is slightly different from other movies of the same genre. Sure it has the basic guy gets girl, then loses(or in this case, forgets) girl, and somehow they manage to get back together in the end plot that so many of these movies have, but it's different. Maybe it's because it deals with memories and it doesn't focus on Joel trying to get back together with Clementine. In fact, he tries to forget her at first.
But as he goes through the erasing process, he realizes that he wants to remember Clementine. I can't describe the movie any further without spoiling it a little. After seeing it for the first time, I felt like everything in the world was alright. It just makes you feel good about life.
Which is how I felt after watching Amélie for the first time. That was the reason I got Dirty Pretty Things, cuz I like Audrey Tautou. She was amazing in that movie so I had to check out at least one of her other movies. I wanna watch it tomorrow cuz the movie is a thriller and tomorrow is Halloween.
Now, it's time to discuss Coffee and Cigarettes. The main reason I got the movie was cuz The White Stripes are in it. But the movie was pretty good, it was hard for me to pay attention cuz I kept falling asleep. I gotta watch it again cuz there were so many distractions when I watched it. What I like the most was the reoccuring theme in all the segments and how they discussed a wide variety of subjects.
I love movies and I kinda wish I could be involved in "the Biz" but not as an actress. Maybe a screenwriter or producer or even a cinematographer. Why is my vocation at school programming? (Not that I don't like it ). I wish they could change t.v. productions into something like media productions, so it can involve making movies. But I think it's too late to change my vocation now.

listening to: my lil' sis be a brat
So the pop up/adware situation is getting better, but I can't figure out how to get rid of it entirely.
This is driving me insane! What is it that's giving me all this crap?
On a better note, I watched The Matrix last night. I never saw the whole film in its entirety. Well, if you wanna be technical, I missed the first four minutes.
I like the first movie, it had such and interesting concept and then the sequels had to expand upon it and ruin it. Well, if you wanna be technical again, I only saw the first sequel.
I wanna go to Hollywood Video and rent movies so I don't die of boredom over the short break.
Which reminds me..............
I need to get Jan to look at the movie stuff my sis wrote for her class project. My printer sucks cuz it's so old. I guess I could save it all on a floppy and print out at school. I know Jan wants to do the movie, but he needs to be INVOLVED !
Whatever. Comment! (0) | Recommend! Yeah, Just An Average Day Thursday, October 28, 2004 Today was alright, before school started, I changed into Jane's clothes. Let's see if I get that skin disease my 'rents are so worried about. That makes me wonder, what if I actually tried getting to school early and changing clothes? My parents wouldn't know as long as I change back before I leave school. Hmmmmm, then I could finally dress like those hipster Japanese people.
We had a test in english on the scarlet letter and I boasted that the test was easy.
But I didn't know the vocab had another side, so I had to hurry and fill it out. I guess I've always been absent minded. I've always lived in my own little world.
Yup, even though it may seem I'm payin' attention, you never know. I could be daydreaming away. That's the beauty of it, teachers may think I'm listening, but how will they really know? I have mastered the art of daydreaming.
My friends and I went to the carnival thing during lunch. It was meh. We really didn't do much and I was kinda upset cuz I had to buy tickets for most of my friends. Man, they need jobs. Basically all we did was walk around.
Towards the end of lunch, a couple of my friends and I got our pic taken. I made the stupidest face since the splash mountain pic I took w/ my cousins and sis over the summer.
After school I went to work, not much happened there. But there's this one kid who gets on everybodies nerves. He is just so annoying and spoiled!
After work, I went to Wal-Mart and saw Jill. It was kinda weird, I didn't know she lived so close to me.
What happened was I wandered off to look at the magazines and suddenly I heard Mulan singing "Reflection". I was mesmerized by it and followed the music to the source. I stood in front of the t.v. and after the song was over, I went back to my mom and sis.
But I couldn't find them, so I went to look for grandma in the food section. And that's how I saw Jill. I told her that I lost my fam. We talked a bit and she told me to go look for them. Eventually I did. Tada! What a great story.
Yeah, a truly average day!
Damn, I downloaded an adware/spyware remover and I'm still getting pop ups and even worse-viruses. Comment! (0) | Recommend! Tuesday, October 26, 2004 Why have I become so lazy..........
This sucks, how am I suppose to survive junior year.
Damn the internet and all it's distractions.........................
What sucks is that somehow the computer caught some sorta adware/spyware virus and now freakin' pop up windows are everywhere.
I can't wait till Friday, hurray for the four day weekend!!
