Considering deleting that last post. The hamster definitely flew off the wheel yesterday for me.

Anyway. I think this blog is actually becoming more addicting than my facebook. Progress? Possibly.

So last night I was flipping through channels on the TV upstairs, and I had gotten to the Starz channels (in the 300's), having found absolutely nothing else worth watching elsewhere. And then, lo and behold - I found a movie with dear, dear Giovanni in it. I almost started crying with joy. Bwahaha. Anyway, it's The Dog Problem. It's about a sucky writer who's going broke. He gets a dog for therapy reasons (I think? I missed the first 20 minutes of the movie, so I'm not entirely sure) and the dog gets beat up by this lady's dog. He's too broke to pay for it, so he begs the lady to pay, and she reluctantly agrees. However, he ends up not having enough money to pay her back... and so he visits her at her *ahem* workplace to break the news, and it goes from there. And I mean, it's definitely a more mature movie, as the lady's *workplace* is a cabaret of sorts, but it's still a really down-to-earth movie. Yeah. So what I watched of it, was pretty amazing. There is some smart dialog in there. I decided to save the movie in its entirety for a day when I wasn't half-asleep. Definitely a movie for film studying. And I also am amazed at how different the character Giovanni plays (the broke writer) is from the character he played in The Other Sister. It's like...crazy! how he can transform like that! One reason I could never be an actress.


My mom told me that when she sells another house she'll get me a Macbook as a super-early graduation present. Yay! I'm veryyy excited. Maybe I'll start my dreamed-of radio show once I get it, since it has a built-in microphone and all. I should start drafting topics.


So Gold Rush is going on at my church; it's this student-led week-long retreat sort of thing. My mom wanted me to go...of course, she's always pushing me to do all the youth stuff at my church. However, I decided not to. I mean I wanted to. Definitely. It sounds really amazingly fun and everyone says you come back like 10,000x closer to God, which I definitely need right now. It's just that for some reason, and it's probably just me being silly and introverted AND I probably shouldn't even let this stop me from doing something to be closer to God, I kind of feel like I don't belong when I'm around the other people my age at church. I kind of feel like a shadow. And I don't know if it's just me, but they all seem a little...clique-ish. Meh. I dunno.

Well, that is all for today.

I have also included a "Favorite Posts" on the right column there ---> with my favorite posts from this blog. :) Yay for organizing!
