Oh man. Bill. Don't take your guns to town!

He never listens.

So since monday a lot happened, I'm pretty sure. There were lots of days.

Actually, I remember nothing until Mock Trial, so let's run with that.

So we really did well, I was all proud of the team. Our crosses were really good, I liked how I did, and Linda was amazing with both her cross and her closing. Yasmin's cross also went lovely, this is a point for later.

Liz kicked some lawyer ass, as always ("I'm sorry that we disagree on the definition of feasible"), and Anna was the bestest Fitzgerald ever.

The judge was strange. She'd act like every objection was really annoying her, or straining her brain or something. Plus, she totally had it in for Michael on the Swope direct. Like, she kept asking him to elaborate his qualifications when she had the curriculum vitae right in front of her. So she ended up just getting the Michael and Jon flustered and then marking them down for it.

The other team... was using a stopwatch, which was illegal, made up a rule about the witnesses talking, and had this awful witness that did this horrible head bob thing. Also, their Boyd tried to play actress with it (which you aren't really supposed to do) and is a really shitty actress.

They won. It was ridculous. The scoring was so off whack, I expected it to be close and it wasn't.

And today, I got a haircut. Yay!

After that I saw Walk the Line with my mom. It was really good. I'm in love with like all the movies I've seen recently. This makes me really happy.

My internet sucks ass.

"I Will Survive" is amazing. In any form. Do not let anyone tell you differently.

I'll guess this'll go in reverse chronological order... there is a lot to cover.

First of all, everyone should see Match Point. It's amazing. It's awesome. Everyone see it immediately. Seriously. Now. Also, Jon Rhys Myers. See? Why aren't you going? But yeah, also, don't let anyone tell you ANYTHING about it. So I'm going to spoiler cut now.

( don't click if you haven't seen it! )

But yeah, that was really cool. Also really cool? Yesterday I went to a Tegan and Sara and Cake concert, plus some weird ass gypsies on the bad crack band. But we don't care about them. Let me instead concentrate on how awesome Tegan and Sara and Cake are.

Anyway, yeah, it won. And someone threw the top of a pineapple at Cake. And like, why? and where'd they get the pineapple? This will plague me for the rest of my existence. I will look at this entry years from now and say "PINEAPPLE!!!!! WTF?????"

Yeah, two things. One, Cake shirts are all American Apparel. How could I not go for that????

Next thing is clearly the highlight, after the show, Tegan (I'm pretty sure it's Tegan. Um, they are twins.....) was selling shirts, and we met her! And we told her how amazing they are! And it was cool!

...

In order to keep you fully updated on my life, I will now tell you about how I totally failed all my midterms thus far. And how I'm totally going to fail my French midterm.

Ha, it was funny, because I was coming out of my Math midterm (by far the worst), and I was talking to Pedro, and I was like "And I totally failed my English and Psych" and Ms. Rinder comes by and is all, "You only said you failed English because I was walking by!"

Also, I made tons of new friends recently from Friending meeeemes, namely Jessika's. So that's cool. Hi new friends!

VM owns my soul. THANKS FOR THE CLIFFHANGER! ARG!

So today was a half day. Thanksgiving day pep rally, which means I had to spend all of two hours in school. Wow, that was pointy. But yeah, then I escaped to the art room, which was LOCKED and DARK and we were cowering inside, fearing our lives.

Anyway, then we left school, unscathed, and went to Harvard Square. We ate at the Vietnamese place, which was good. Then we went to see Pride and Prejudice. It was pretty good, they went far to Wuthering Heights, as LInda said, with the whole thing though.

I feel like more happened! No, I guess it really didn't. We puttered extensively. We went to beadworks and saw the theater folk.

People who were involved:
Linda
Masha
Yasmin
Elizabeth
Jing
Iris
...umm there were probably more.

Anyway, that was lots of fun. I love non school days and things.

Happy Thanksgiving on the very soon to be Thanksgiving.

YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT? My brother got a Harry Potter catalogue thingy, and it has Lucius's pimp cane. I'm like, dude, PIMP CANE.

So I haven't posted in awhile, because I had to read a book for english and then create notecards on said book and write a paper on said book all in the span of like, three days. Also, I've had a nasty cold.

So not much has gone on that's actually exciting. School is blech.

French class is making me want to hurt things. I can't speak French! It makes it kind of restrictive if I can't speak English!

Today, though, my Chinese teacher arranged for this school group from China to come, and we took them around to our classes. It was pretty fun. Nice girl. Way better English than my Chinese, that's for sure.

Helped a little with the Art Auction after school. Ironed. I like ironing. It puts by OCD-like need for things to be flat and unwrinkled to practical use.

Tonight I'm seeing GoF. W00t. I'm excited. I'm not very movie-centric, but it should be fun. I'll miss Remus though. Dearly.

Tomorrow is Michigan/Ohio State and the Art Auction.

I have this overwhelming desire to go read all my Sailor Moon manga.

Damn college aps, I hate you for trying to make me all responsible like.

Yesterday was a good day. I went to Harvard Square with Sara and Jacob. I bought a skirt. I rarely buy clothes of my own accord.

I did a lot of random walking around. I think that the Harvard campus is designed so that only people who can get into Harvard have the ability to navigate it. Are all campuses that confusing? I hope not. I just kept going around in circles and circles and ending up at Hong Kong (the restaurant, not the city. That would be really confusing). Er, yeah.

Then I went to Linda's and watched Dial M for Murder and Psycho instead of going to the Halloween dance. I had been planning to take a shower when I got home. Yeah, that didn't happen.

I'm in a giving mood today. Ani DiFranco - Little Plastic Castle

It's fun, it makes me all kinds of happy.

So today. I felt like a whole lot of crap. It was pretty awful. I inhaled way to much ibuprofen for ones own good. I had to buy thermacare at target just to make it through staples. But yeah, I went school shopping. I already bought a bunch of clothes, so this time I just bought a Yellow Submarine shirt, because dude, Yellow Submarine and it was eight bucks. It needed to be mine. And I also bought a pillow, one of those memory foam things except not Dan Marino. Soooooo comfy. Then at staples I bought notebooks liek whoa. Yeah, guess what, paper? Heavy. I hate school. Anyway, that was fun because school supplies. At Target they had some but it was mobbed with children and very cleaned out. Besides, I got some kickass notebookage for 74 cents each.

Then I went home, and if you observed my away message in this time, you would have seen Bridget saying "MATH DOESN'T MAKE ME RANDY". This was the case. Because I was doing the stupid math packet and GOD I HATE MATH. SO BORING.

So then I was going to go home and sleep, but Sara had a cake for me. Which she brought to Jacob's house and then I didn't have a ride because my mom wanted me to stay home but then they came and got me. And we watched Mean Girls, because yeah, it's Mean Girls and Lilly is yay. Yes she's Lilly shut up. But yeah, that was pretty hilarious. I mean, I had heard, but I don't believe people.

Today I went with Linda and her brother to see Charlie. It was lovely. Johnny Depp never fails at any role. That said, the whole concept still freaks me out. The Gene Wilder one creeped me out hardcore back in Chenex.

My HBP reactions

( SPOILERS. OKAY. THERE ARE SPOILERS HERE )

So I had a coooool day today.

I went to see Batman with my mom, and it was awwwwwesome. Yeah. Not much to say other than the fact that a) awwwwwesome b) preeeeeetty c) IMAX pwns. Especially Jordan's because most comfortable movie seats ever.

Duncan incest jokes never get old. Ever.

Anyways, then we go to Target, because I have a gift certificate (I ended up buying a prepaid itunes card), but turns out my mom was actually thinking of buying us cellphones. So thus, cellphones bought, I have a cellphone, yayness. It will be LOTS OF YAY with a cellphone, yes, yes.

It rings with the super mario bros theme song. Because that amuses me so. Besides, the default ringers suck.

Lost 20 minutes wheee.

Had yet another day off today. It was lovely. Went with friends to see Constantine. It was alright, nowhere near as bad as I expected. Keanu, however, cannot. act. for. shit.

I love Wednesdays. Wednesdays are good days.

(Also, spring training games start this week. Awesomeness! I'm lame enough to watch Spring training games)

Illness sucks.

Saw Troy yesterday. It was... innacurate. I mean, poor Clytemnestra. She was supposed to be the one who got to kill the bastard. Well, her and Aegisthos. But yeah. And Menaleus. Not supposed to be dead. Or that idiotic. I mean, I felt so sorry for him in the Odyssey. And Paris was supposed to die! So disappointing. The nod to Aenas was fun though. It's almost like they might have read the book at some point.

But PRETTY! I mean, damn pretty! Sooooooo pretty.

But the cousins thing, are they really trying to pull that on me again? C'mon, don't even try.

But anything I could say was said funnier by Cleolinda so yeah, go read.
