*Sigh* I miss him...

I watched the original Japanese version of The Ring this past summer in Taiwan. It was quite possibly the scariest movie I have ever seen... And if you had no clue what was going on, it wouldn't be scary, cause there really wasn't any creepy music or graphics, or anything like that. There were not a lot of special effects and blood and gore. But that movie screws with your mind. It fucked me up for a good week because I would be going to bed and start thinking about it, and I would not be able to sleep. It seriously freaked me out. And there are pleanty of other people who would agree with me. There are two other "Rings" that follow the first to describe the events that happened to lead to what happened in the first Ring. And supposedly, the other two are creepier than the first.

So, the American Dreamworks has decided to do their own little version of the movie... Now, I'm thinking that it's probably gonna suck a whole bunch of ass cause it is going to be Hollywoodized. And the Japanese version was so... not. It was simple, and... not a huge big production. But I'm scared that the US is going to mess up the movie and its meaning. So when people who haven't seen the orginial, see it the American version, they are probably going to think, "Oh, it was okay." And then if they see the original, they will think it blows. But it doesn't! It's good. And scary! I just don't see why they don't release the Japanese one here in the states... I'm just hoping that the American version is good.

But! This little animation here ranks pretty high up with the dancing gay Spiderman. I'm definitely liking it even though I am totally jealous of his mad dancing skills.

And for those of you who like Jay Chou, this is adorable.

I am going to bed soon... and it's not even 10 yet! On a Sunday night! Amazing ^_^ So I guess my 3-day weekend comes to a halt now...

Thing I've noticed about me: My hair grows really fast. Now, despite the two inches that were cut off this past summer in Taiwan, it is literally 8 1/2 inches longer since last summer when I cut it to chin length. It has also grow over an inch since I took my senior pictures almost two months ago. Now, if my head would just grow *more* hair, you know, so I don't go bald.

I shot a milipede-lookin' bug off my ceiling tonight before I brushed my teeth with a rubber band on my third try. I was proud of me. Granted, I screamed like a 5 year old when it fell on the floor near my feet but that's beside the point...

A friend and I went out tonight. We went to a nearby pizza place and there was a guy with a guitar and microphone (and Heather, no turntables) who sang on the porch. He was really good, so friend and I kept shouting out songs from people for him to play: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dave, Ben Harper, Tom Petty, John Mayer, U2, Radiohead, etc. She and I vowed to be his groupies but we had to go. We came back to my house and watched Kids, which was a disturbing yet somewhat realistic movie. I liked the way it was done. But. It's definitely not a movie that you'd watch with the parents... unless... you are into that sorta thing. :::Shudders:::

I have watched 4 movies so far this weekend: 40 Days and 40 Nights was terrible... mostly boy humor. Panic Room wasn't all that great, kinda lame. My friend Carla and I realized that we have had a little too much AP English last year when we started analyzing the movie, and trying to pick out all of the ironies, symbols, and all of those good ole elements of figurative language. We are big nerds. Umm... Amelie, like I said in the previous post, was wonderful. And Kids was depessing but pretty good. I still really want the Monster's Inc. DVD... and I'm waiting for Lion King to release theirs. ^_^

Radiohead - Exit Music is a good song. As is Paranoid Android.

I actually have church bright and early tomorrow morning... So I guess that means I should be going off to bed soon... So, until next time... "STAY OFF THE MOLDY CHEESE!!!"

Fun on a Friday night...

Seeing stuff like this makes me oh-so-proud to be an American.

Oh, and you can't call it a night unless you have an interesting animation of Sam's kitty...

You see, people in third world countries or perilous countries such as Isreal, are suffering every single day. People have no food, no shelter, no familes. And us lazy Americans have the time and the luxury to make such immature yet amusing little animations on their computers. Sad, isn't it?

Cutest thing I've heard in a long time: My friend Gaby's dog, Freckles, really likes to watch animal movies. We were watching Ace Ventura: Pet Detective on Gaby's fancy flat screen TV, and there was a scene with a small puppy in it. Freckles walks right in front of the TV, barks once, and plops down right in front of it. She watched for about 5 more minutes after the puppy scene before barking again and waddling off. Gaby tells me that Freckles' favorite movie is Homeward Bound.

Oh, and Amelie is a great and beautiful movie. I want to look like the main actress. Anyway, watch it sometime.

I actually remembered on time! The Friday Five, baby, yeah!

1. Would you say that you're good at keeping in touch with people? For the most part, yes. But it has to be a two-way thing. If the other person stops keeping in touch, then I tend to also.

2. Which communication method do you usually prefer/use: e-mail, telephone, snail mail, blog comments, or meeting in person? Why? Depends on the person... Sometimes, it's easier and more comfortable talking to someone on the phone. But there are some people that aren't phone people, and I'd rather talk to them online. I like talking to people in person for the most part as long as it's not awkward.

3. Do you have an instant messenger program? How many? Why/why not? How often do you use it? Why, yes, I do. And as many of you would know, I am signed on to AOL *all the time*. I also have AIM, which rocks my socks because AOL is an atrocity..

4. Do most of your close friends live nearby or far away? Both...

5. Are you an "out of sight, out of mind" person, or do you believe that "distance makes the heart grow fonder"? Mmm... I don't know. Depends on the person I guess... I tend to have the "distance makes the heart grow fonder" state of mind... but don't really know anymore.

So I guess that's about it for today... It was fun last night at friend's house, even though we were all really tired. My favorite part though? It's still Friday. =)

"I wish I could swim in an ocean of boobies." - Molly, after watching 40 Days and 40 Nights (which, by the way, was a horrible movie).

Yay it's almost Thursday! And it is super special because we have a 3-day weekend, which is something that I really really need. It's been a tiring week and I plan on sleeping in everday for all three days. So if anyone calls me before noon and wakes me up, I will unleash all hell.

Just a forewarning: I probably won't be posting tomorrow, I'm going to be spending the night at a friends house. Now that I think about it, I have not done that in a really long time... Hrm... So anyway, hope you all have a dandy Thursday. *Muah*

Just so everyone knows... I really want the Monsters Inc. DVD. Spoil me? ^_~

I watched Push, Nevada tonight with my mom. It seems pretty interesting, and I liked the first episode. They play good music. Plus, Ben Affleck is the producer/writer/creator of the show, so it's gotta be good, right?

I think that those horrible bubbles that you have to fill in for ACT registration is part of God's evil plan to destroy our hand usage. Anyway, I am tired. I think I need to go to sleep soon but I still have to study~ Oh, but my bed... it looks so comfy and... inviting.... *Slowly being drawn in to the bedarific goodness...*

Three good songs:

Michelle Branch - Goodbye to You
Etta James - At Last
Our Lady Peace - Right Behind You

Oh my dear God I need a back massage *so* badly. I'll pay you. My sitting position is definitely gonna cause major back problems in the not so distant future. But, if anyone is willing to take up the offer on the massage, call me.

From a friend's away message:

"The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense."

Now, ain't that the truth...

Wow... This is really disturbing. Oh, and did I mention it's absolutely disgusting?

Once again, a late Friday Five...

1. What was/is your favorite subject in school? Why? English has always been a class that I really enjoyed... Which is funny considering the fact that I am *horrible* at writing essays, or... well... writing in general.

2. Who was your favorite teacher? Why? I have a lot of teachers that I really liked, Mrs. Kaplan and Ms. T from 5th and 6th grades, Dr. Hopple and Mrs. Croker from 9th, Mrs. Ripski from 10th, and Ms. Bradshaw from 11th. Overall, I think Bradshaw was my favorite teacher because I learned so much from her last year. Plus, I had her for 3 periods out of 6 every single day.

3. What is your favorite memory of school? Hrm. But there are just *so* many! *Cough* I loved 8th grade, even though I was still at an all-girl school. I'm not really sure why... I think that year the entire grade sorta bonded, and I became friends with almost everyone, and it was a nice feeling. Freshman year, people started going off into their own little groups again, which that was not great. People just starting getting "too cool" for the rest of us. Maybe that's why I left. Junior year was fun too, minus the endless all-nighters and the constant school-work. And... well, this year is not bad so far. Maybe this will be my favorite memory of school.

4. What was your favorite recess game? Chasing boys around the playground (what? That was in like, 2nd grade, I promise!), Prison Ball, Dodge Ball, Line Tag, Gotcha, hockey, Crab-soccer... I love recess. We should have that again. No, we need Nap Time. Lots and lots of nap time.

5. What did you hate most about school? Sometimes the people, sometimes the teachers, a lot of the times the administrators, most the time the schoolwork. And of course I would complain about that cause that's pretty much the only thing that makes school suck. Then again, I hardly ever do work, and if I do I would wait until the last possible minute to start (i.e. starting a 5 page paper at 12 and working on it until 6 Friday morning).

I did absolutely nothing today. I watched about 7 hours straight of the Real World Chicago. And I ate. A lot. Fathead (aka Heather) came over at 9 and we worked on an English assignment that took way longer than necessary. We pretty much just acted silly like we always tend to do. She is fun to be stupid with. I'm still not done with the assignment though. But keep in mind, I am *queen* of procrastination. And you know what? I am gonna get a better grade than you. Biotch!

Then again, probably not because I suck.
