  • The Twilight Movie;



    IS GOING TO BE THE CHEESIEST THING EVER.
    "Beeeeauuuutiful.; Very visually dynamic,"
    "You're alone. . . you're faster than the others. . . but not stronger. . . I'M stronger!"

    <b>XDDDDDD!</b>

    Are they serious?!
    AS IF merely hitting his head would actually knock Edward out of breath; Edward would kill James in a second considering he's in his "Must Save Bella" mood!
    Dx
    & What's with all the blurry fast-motion crap o____O Their 'movie magic' is pathetico!

    OH, and by the way VAMPIRES. DON'T. FLY

    ARGGGG, I really don't know if I want to see the movie; I saw the teaser trailer, and Kristen Stewart (Bella) is the worst actress evarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr  =_________=;
    They're like, in a forrest, and she looks all scared and her back is turned to Edward and she goes "How old are you?" and Rob Pattinson (Edward) goes "Seventeen." and then she gulps and asks "How long have you been seventeen?" in this quivering voice that isn't Bella-like at all and the Edward says "A while. . ." and then the scene ends, which is when the trailer gets even worse.
    Edward and Bella are in a kitchen or something and she goes "I'm not afraid of you," but she says it in a really odd way, like the she's trying to show the audience that she's cool or something but isn't doing a good job of acting it out, and then Edward says "You really shouldn't have said that. . .[Insert hot crooked smile that doesn't <i>quite</i> make up for lack of truth to the books displayed throughout the movie.] " and then all of a sudden he pulls her onto his back and they fly out the window in a blur.

    SERIOUSLY?!?!?
    Seriously?!  I'm sorry, but that NEVER. HAPPENS.
    Is this like, a way for them to cut out the Pasture scene?!?!?!? Also known as THE BEST SCENE IN THE ENTIRE BOOK?  Did they think to themselves: "Hey, you know what?  The effects it would take to make Edward's skin sparkle in the sun during that pasture scene would cost an awful lot to produce. . . Hey! We'll just cut the scene, and then have Edward and Bella fly out a window while it's overcast, to demonstrate Edwards speed!  Perfect!"


    OH WAIT! I FOUND THE EMBED URL!


    "This is wronggg, Edward, she's not one of us!"

    There, do you see how AWFUL it is? @___________@

    It's the most pathetically comical thing I've ever watched.
    XDD


    I'm appalled TT___________________TT

  • This year;

    has been the worst evar.

    2008 sucks.
    =___________=
    It's just so BORING.  dulldulldull! Dx 

    & I was under the idealistic impression that once summer came around, the un-eventful beginning of the year would be better!

    I WAS OH SO WRONG.

    This summer is an epic fail.
    FAILFAILFAIL.
    XD

    Seriously, I have no life, and all of my friends do.
    Here's a typical day in the life of a lifeless teenager, aka Me xD :
    [Wakes up]
    [Watches crappy lifetime movies]
    [Texts people on Twitter and such]
    [Friends on Twitter have lives and text back about how they're actually doing something]
    [Silences phone]
    [Continues to watch crappy television]
    [Gets on Myspace, only to find there isn't a single anything]
    [Gets on Xanga and writes boring posts about being boring]
    [Reads]
    [Writes]
    [Watches more crappy television]
    [Sleeps]


    =____________=
    Last summer was so much more fun, and a lot more carefree.


    UGH, I WANT A REDO. 
    summer, you suck.
    D:<


    & Now imma go watch Harry Potter, or maybe play Sims 2.
    XD

  • Happyyy;

    4th of July, y'all XD

    Our trip to the cabin was canceled, and although it would've been really fun, I can't say that I'm too upset.  >____>;;; My dad is, though, because this is like his favourite holiday.  My parents are super patriotic, so we'll be setting off fireworks and barbecuing and making ice cream and such.  & We'll probably end up talking about how great our country used to be or Ronald Reagan or the Patriot or something, because my parents love such topics.  @_____@ 

    Half of my friends hate America or support anarchy, though, so nobody else shares enthusiasm for Independence Day that has been thrust upon me since birth.
     XDDDDD

    You've got to admit today is a schveet holiday, though, because who doesn't love watching fireworks and eating food? >:D


    wheeeee~

  • Is this not the ugliest;

    car you have ever seen?
    XD



    Yesterday, after my French lesson, I went to some car dealership place with my mom & dad because a) My dad's truck lease was up, and he was renewing it & such  and   b) My mom's schveet minivan was getting serviced because the air conditioning was being a loser.

    So we get there, and my dad had already been working on the lease stuff while my Mom & I were at French, so we go check on the van.
    The guy's like "Well, your air conditioning system has corroded in the back and we'll have to replace the part, but it'll take six weeks to get in.  The total cost of the part and labor will be around $850."

    uhhh, what?! 

    So my dad is like "Uhh, wait, not only are you missing the part, but what, you can't bypass it?  So that we'll just have air in the front?  You know, solder or something?"

    & The guy's just like ". . . Nooo, :/" 

    So, we leave and talk about renting a car, because we were supposed to leave for our trip (today) but we couldn't exactly take a car without air conditioning. 

    Now then, my dad used to be a car salesman when he was in college, so he was negotiating the crap out of his lease already (He got the same price for a brand new truck or something, I don't know)  and then he gets this idea: We can trade in the minivan for a new one.

    o______O;;

    I was thinking that would cost hecks more than fixing the air conditioning would, but as it turns out, we were trading down in price, and there was some deal that the guy found for us, and he also found some random crap that would save money, and blahblahblah, I think we actually made a profit.
    XD


    (I wouldn't know, I was revving the engines on all the Chargers in the lot 8D 



    * w*  <333)


    ANYWAYS, back to the fugly van thing, yes, we bought it.

    =___________=

    I sort of hate it, because we didn't get the "Sunburst Orange Pearl" one with the all-black interior (we got the "Bright Silver Metallic" with the fugly grey interior instead, because it was the one that was part of the deal DX) but it has a USB port for my iPod, and a back up camera, so it's okay.

    XDD

    I cannot believe we just got a new car @______@

  • Crappy timing;

    @________@
    (caution: long post with loads of rambling on, but you should read it anyways, because my misery is kind of a little amusing, I'm sure.)

    Tomorrow/the day after, we leave for my "uncle's" cabin in North Carolina.  "Going to the cabin" has been a yearly tradition for. . . well, I can't even remember how long.  Maybe 6 years?  Anyways, here's the basic gist of a cabin visit:

    -- We get there.
    -- Parents & kids separate.
    -- We, the kids, (there are eight of us, including my "cousins'" cousins, all one year apart.) usually go into the basement to play pool or at least attempt it. 
    -- We, the older kids go for a walk 'around the circle' and end up stopping at the tiny cemetery that's reeeeallly old, back from when people died a lot by the age of 18.
    -- The parents usually just sit around talking about parent things, like hunting and business and the Patriot vs Braveheart.
    -- The kids bug the parents about going out on the boat, and then as soon as we hear what couldpossibly be a "Yes" we're all in our bathing suits covered in sun block.
    -- Everybody goes out on the boat.  We basically go around for a while, find a nice cove, anchor the boat, and then float/swim around for hours & hours & hours, with occasional Jet Ski breaks, listening to Tom Petty or Dire Straits.  It's really fun. [X
    -- The parents drink a lot of beer.  Well, mostly the dads.  XD
    -- We go back to the cabin, have dinner, go to bed.

    Then the pattern just repeats itself, until the 4th of July, which is when we all have a cookout-thing on the back deck.  The kids usually end up watching IT while the parents make the food, because. . . well, I don't know, we just always end up watching IT.  XD  Then we all eat, and the parents drink a lot of beer, and then we go out on the boat to watch the firework show.  When we get back from that, the dads usually watch Braveheart or the Patriot something, and then talk about how much they love our country and how badass we used to be until the government got ruined, then somewhat fixed with Ronald Reagan's presidency, and then ruined again because if the government today was the way our forefathers had intended it to be, we'd still be badass. 

    (Here's the misery part:)
    Anyways, even though I sort of dread going every year (because I feel retarded when it comes to socializing with parents AND especially because they all think I still like Michael, my "cousin's" cousin, because a few years ago I did, but hey, I'm over that now, so the parents can stop giving me what they think are 'knowing looks'.) I still love going, even though this year we might not because my dad & my "uncle" haven't talked about it yet?  Well, anyways, this year I was actually looking forward to it because I'm not as socially retarded as I used to be,
    AND I WOKE UP THIS MORNING WITH MY PERIOD.

    T________T

    How am I supposed to explain to 4 pre-pubescent boys why I'm not swimming, when that's all we do?
    & The adults will all be like "Devon, why aren't you swimming, hon?  The water's really nice.  You're not still afraid, are you?  Come on, they're just fish, they won't hurt you! Hahaha,"  and I'll have to smile and pretend that I feel sick or something -________-;;; The entire time we're there.

    Oh, gott in himmel!



    & By the way, people who have commented my blogs recently, I haven't responded because I can't think of anything witty to say.
    XDDDDDDD



    Ahahaaa, I'm a loser.
    Someone go buy me some chocolate Dx

  • PS!;

    Holy crack, I just found this way old story I started in math one day.
    So, here's part of it.
    [X

    ". . .When Evelyn was younger she and her father and mother lived together in a small apartment overlooking a parking garage.  The view wasn’t pretty, the apartment was sometimes claustrophobic, and the three often fought, but they were happy.  Every morning at 5:30 her mother, Scarlette, went to the book shop where she worked.  Sometimes she would bring Evelyn and let her read for a few hours in the children's section "Book Nook", but other times—especially when the family was fighting—she went to work alone, and would stay out late afterwards window-shopping around the city.  Evelyn's father, Ash, worked at the video store down the street.  He hated that job.  He wanted to be a pastry chef."

    Uhh, what?
    XDDDDDDDDD


  • During school;

    it was easy for me to find time to write. 
    All I had to do was wait for a boring class period (anything with Mr. Kettner or Mrs. Tagtow involved the perfect amount of blah-osity ;3) and pull out my loverly sunshine yellow notebook, because there's nothing like ignoring a (power-hungry & obsessive) high school teacher to inspire literary focus!

    However, now that it's summer and I have bountiful amounts of free time at my disposal, I find that writer's block has been thrust upon me!
    XD

    I used to write in my diary every night--I used to be too lazy to keep a diary, but then I decided I would try to keep one for at least a year.  Since January 1st, I've written at least a page every night, but since PA I haven't written anything, and now I feel blocked because I have SO MUCH diary-ing to catch up on that I have no motivation whatsoever to even begin, which makes even the simplest of writing difficult, whether it's diary-related or not.
    The longer I'm not writing, the guiltier I feel, and because I feel so guilty I ignore the need to write all together and sit around doing nothing instead.  This pattern has become increasingly frustrating, as of late, and now I'm entirely fed up with it.
    >:3

    Sooooo, I'm going to write.
    Even if it's some crappy little story about an octopus princess or dancing teapots, I don't care.
    Imma write it.
    >:D
    XD

    & Then maybe I'll be motivated to update my diary-related tales.
    . . . Okay, probably not.
    [X



    ( Uhm, if anyone had good "writing exercises", you should definitely share them with me ;D )

  • Currently Reading
    The Host: A Novel
    By Stephenie Meyer
    see related

    If you've ever;

    read an amazing book, you probably know how intense it can be: You connect with the characters so much that for the engaging parts, it's almost as if you're living the story with them.  You end up crying whenever things get emotional, and then you cry even more when everything turns out the way you'd hoped.  You lose all concept of time while reading because you're so into the story, and after a while it gets hard to think about anything other than what's happening in the book, even when you're doing something entirely different.  Sometimes, I end up crying so much that I have to take a break from the book for a while and do something else. (Okay, well, maybe that's just me--I get far too emotional over books that I luuurve sometimes XDDD  Stfu.)  Then the the number of pages you've read out-numbers the number of pages you have left to read, and you begin dreading the story's end just as much as you're anticipating the piece of mind you'll get from finally knowing how it all turns out. . .

    Anyways, my point is, amazing books are the best things evarr.
    I had to rant, because I just finished one.



    Go read the Host.





    (Seriously.  Read it.  Even if you despised Twilight. The two stories are entirely different, and you'll like this one. D<)
