 i feel like my friends are shifting after france. it is weird and upsetting.

i like someone who i shouldn't and i don't know what to do. my mom used the phrase, "let another day go by," about my love life. wtf? i am trying my best. i don't know what people want me to do. go up and maul him? i don't understand.

i might meet potential roommates around the 7th of march.

france was amazing though. i feel different. oddly more confident and less awkward about social standing.
i miss you guys a lot though.

i saw twilight. what?
it was craziness.
i literally have no way of describing it as a film.
but i have come to the conclusion that it was def. better than the book
reasons stolen from ONTD but totally true (especially the bolded font):
1. First of all, the demands of compressing a 500-page book into a two-hour movie mean that most of the boring scenes of Edward brooding about stuff have been cut. In fact, for the entire middle third of the movie, Edward seems happy most of the time, which Robert Pattinson frankly plays a lot better than he does the dark, serious looks.
2. The movie adds an amazing sequence in which Edward takes Bella to the top of an enormous tree for a view of the mountains and river below. It actually totally rules.
3. In the movie, vampires make an unnecessary but awesome whooshing sound when they jump around.
4. Bella's new friends in Forks have been given the Catherine Hardwicke treatment: They're cooler, funnier, more multicultural, and way more interesting than they are in the book, where they're mostly there to serve as distractions that Bella ignores on her way to Edward. For instance, Eric -- described in the book as "a gangly boy with skin problems" who's "the overly-helpful chess-club type" -- turns into a hip, attractive Gaysian. And when everyone goes to the beach, they don't just take boring walks to the tide pools; they go surfing!
5. Who knew Charlie's mustache was so awesome?
6. At the movie, you get to hear teenage girls shrieking, "I love you, Edward!!!" before the opening credits even begin.
7. We predict at least one actual Team Edward vs. Team Jacob riot in a movie theater somewhere in America; the rivalry gets much more visceral with audience members cheering the arrival of their heroes.
8. While the baseball scene can't completely avoid seeming like the campy miscalculation it is, we love that the vampires wear old-timey baseball uniforms.
9. There are jokes! Like, people tell jokes! Instead of just glumly or romantically talking about things! Bella and Edward even tell jokes to each other!
10. We guess because the movie was made by non-Mormons, there's a joke about Speedo-stuffing! And two jokes about boobs.
11. For no apparent reason, the alluring young waitress who can't stop flirting with Edward in Port Angeles has been transformed into a weird hipster chick with a hilarious bouffant.
12. When Edward explains to Bella that he can read thoughts, he points around the restaurant and tells her what everyone's thinking about: "Money ... sex ... sex ... money ... cat."
13. In a touching ode to primitive research technology, Bella actually reads a little bit about vampires in a book! Before going straight to Google.
14. Unlike in Twilight the book, in which Edward's afraid to even describe a hunt, we actually get to see Edward chase down a deer in the movie.
15. When Bella visits Edward's family, they charmingly attempt to cook her a meal. "We finally get to use the kitchen!" Dr. Cullen says.
16. The wall of the Cullens' house features a cute mural made up of dozens of the vampires' high-school graduation caps.
17. Due to Edward's chastity, at every point in the movie where you're expecting a sex scene, the filmmakers are forced to show long sequences of Edward and Bella lying down and staring soulfully at each other. They're even shot just like sex scenes! It's impossible to explain just how funny this is onscreen.
18. It really drives home the book's overarching message of the dangers of female sexuality when we actually see flushed temptress Bella, late at night in her bedroom, forcing herself upon Edward and the poor innocent vampire flinging himself against a wall to keep himself in check.
19. When Bella's mom hears that her daughter has a boyfriend, she demands, "Are you being safe?" We foresee a whole new tie-in line of armor-plated Twilight condoms!
20. At no point in the movie does this scene occur. (Referencing the "YOU MADE ME FAINT!" scene).
21. Also, this scene was cut, thank God. (Referencing the "You're intoxicated by my very presence" crazy).
22.In general, we're just so relieved that the movie did away with most of the 1,000 scenes in which basically this exact thing happens:
Bella: Don't go!
Edward: I should go, but I can't.
Bella: I am happy!
Edward: You're an idiot for being happy.
Bella: You are still totally gorgeous OMG OMG.
23. The other vampires - Laurent, Victoria, and James - don't just appear out of nowhere on page 375 because Stephenie Meyer belatedly realized something needed to happen. They make appearances throughout the movie, hunting and killing humans, which gives the movie not only little bursts of much-needed action but at least a game attempt at some suspense.
24. There's an actual fight scene between Edward and James, instead of Bella just passing out and getting told about it later. Mostly it's just them throwing each other through windows and crap, but in a story that's totally starved for action it's nice that they tried.
25. The movie answers in seconds a burning question the book never bothered to address: Do vampires in Twilight have reflections? Spoiler: Yes, they do!
26. Uh, Alice jumps onto James and TOTALLY BREAKS HIS NECK!
27. Movie prom is set in a gorgeous, opulent building with a twinkling gazebo for Edward and Bella's final dance! Book prom takes place in the gym.
28. "And so the lion fell in love with the lamb," Bella says. In the book, you just roll your eyes. In the movie theater, everyone cheers wildly.


so i am not saying that it was good, but it was a whole lot better than the book (which isn't saying much... or anything really.)
i might review this with genny for the school newspaper......... or just for fun. because i do odd things like that when i am bored.


i can't get over it. i will never stop talking about this film. what was that? i can't classify is good/bad. i will not rest until i finally figure it out.

i just illegally downloaded some truly embarrassing albums.
wow. it was totally worth it.
oh wow. this is so embarrassing and amazing at the same time.

i love paul rudd

 I need to make $1225 because I AM GOING TO FRANCE!!! yay! with G! i am excited. how i will do that, i have no idea. any ideas (besides hitting the streets and selling internal organs) are always helpful!

i miss streetwise

  • Oct. 16th, 2008 at 10:56 PM

i forgot in my other post today to mention the bad news (or maybe just the paranoid news): the loathe of my life(loml) maybe opening a boutique where streetwise used to be..... it is called the U3 boutique and the handwriting is frighteningly similar to loml's. P. Fenton saw him the other day at TAZA, so that means he is still lurking around....i was too happy to mention it before...  this could be terrible.

fio: Z might be coming over tomorrow..... if it works out you get all the credit. 

anne is probably freaking out right now seeing daniel radcliffe (sp?) naked.... ha.
