Happy.

I've been away for about a week because I have just been busyy yay. I finally acquired a sewing machine on Sunday, so that's taken up a great deal of time. I've made quite a handful of things (pictures soon of course) and it's been really really fun. I sewed a couple pillows with one in seventh/eighth? grade, but I didn't really remember. Of course, then I didn't have to do anything myself, it was just like, oh, here is the machine already ready, get to it. I actually had to learn how to do everything myself this time around.

Tomorrow I will post about what I have made. I want to make clothes really bad. I think I should wait awhile though, until I am a little better at this. I just really want to get to the store to buy some fabric/thread etc.

...Movie Reviews...

Shrooms was stupid, as was to be expected. It had a run-of-the-mill ending, and was just really disappointing. I have decided that I do not like Paddy Breathnach. This is the second film of his that I watched (the first being Freakdog), and blahh. Typical typical horror movie crap. I want to write my own movie that has a different ending, an ending other than
1. The protagonist has been the antagonist all along.
2. The main character goes psycho and ends up in a mental hospital.
3. The as-stupid-as-you-get girl transforms into the opposite of her previously weak, dumb and cowardly self and survives.
4. A huge animal slaughters mostly everyone, the handful that is left kill it with an elaborate plan, then it is miraculously alive.

The Invention of Lying was also really dumb. I was so excited because of my love for Ricky Gervais, but there were only a few funny moments. The trailer was totally misleading. By the way, Jennifer Garner/Ricky is just weird. I really didn't like it at all. I thought, based on the preview, that everyone had to tell the truth. NOT blurt out every single thought in their heads. Every character being totally rude to Ricky and basically everyone else got old really fast. And also, Ricky was the only character that didn't follow the blurting thing. I mean, at least make it consistently stupid, if you don't it's like honesty=bullying. Basically this movie just tears down the idea of truth, (every thing's better if you LIE). I was especially bothered by a few scenes. Every morning Ricky encounters a depressed kid in an elevator who tells him about his suicide plans, and Ricky just shrugs it off. Then, he gets the ability to lie, and suddenly decides to tell the kid that people care about him. NICE. So that's a lie? What a horrible thing to depict.

I re watched Seven Pounds today with Rachel. Before we started watching it I remembered the basic plot but then during the first scene it all came flooding back and I thought I was going to burst into tears. Of course, watching it the first time around that first couple of minutes seems totally harsh, but once you know what is going on... I dunno, it was just heartbreakingly sad. Will Smith is awesome in pretty much everything he is in, but I love how his character seems different than what's typical for him.

Rachel hated it, just like I thought.

I hate school. Every single night I tell myself that I need to go to bed early, but I never make it. I dunno what the ideal time would be. If I actually made myself go to bed, I don't think I would fall asleep. I'm not tired when I go to bed as it is. Then morning comes, and BOOM I am so tired. I describe my sleepy eyes as "owl eyes" because they just feel so huge on my face, but everyone acts as if they don't know what I am talking about/I am stupid.

During the summer I read a book called Let's Go Play at the Adams'. It was written in the seventies by Mendel Johnson. It has not left me alone since. I was really disturbed by it, which is odd for me. My constant thought was THEY. GOT. AWAY. WITH. IT. I drove myself crazy thinking about it. I was sobbing as I read the ending, that's how emotional it was. But then again, with the way it was written, I think the thing that scared me the most about it was how brutally honest, clear cut, and horrific. It was just empty in a way, like "this is what happened, and this was the result of that event, the end". It's just evilevilevil, and not subtle in any way.

Right after I read it a googled it and I found out that some guy had written a sequel (the original author is dead). I sent an email to be able to read it, hoping that if I read it I could forget the ending to the actual novel. I didn't get any response. Yesterday, though, an email was in my inbox with a link to a brand new website that the book is published on. I've read it already. It was actually really, really good. Surprisingly so.

Oh well. I am tired of doing this now, so...
