The movie Bobby was actually really, really good. I do have to say the middle part of it was slightly boring, but altogether it turned out to be a pretty interesting movie. Tears actually came to my eyes, and I loved the part that Ashton Kutcher played (funnyyyy). Even Lindsay Lohan's character, how she was getting married not for love or money, but to save a life. It was just so touching.  A lot of what Robert F. Kennedy said in the movie definitly pertains to what is going on today in Iraq. I for sure recommend this movie to everyone.

I'm getting ready to watch the Dixie Chicks documentary Shut Up & Listen. I knew about what was going on with them all along, but it wasn't until about a week ago until I heard that they were getting death threats and the such. I didn't know what was going on with them was so drastic. Once I heard there was a documentary (I feel so stupid, I'm totally into this kind of stuff, how could I not have known?) a few days ago, I had to rush across town to go buy it.

I'm excited about being an extra in that peace movie this Saturday. I hope it isn't as boring as I think it might be =/. The outcome will be really cool though.

Okay, I'm off to watch the movie. Probably won't post again until tomorrow night because I have a full day of work tomorrow. Ciao!

There's not much to say about today. I went to my chemistry lab class, and after Sorina and I went to Red Robin.

I forgot to mention a couple of things about the weekend.
On Saturday, I went with papa and a whole bunch of family to see the movie The Peaceful Warrior. It was a really inspiring movie. The main character was a gymnist and was preparing to compete so he could be in the olympics. He was like, one of those cool guys on campus. School was a breeze, he had all the girls, and had a rockin' bod. But then he meets like, a buddah guy who teaches him how to empty all the trash out of his mind and life. It's a lot more interesting then I'm letting on, but I don't want to give the movie away to those that might actually want to see it!

Sunday, mom and me went to Macy's and spent way too much money on makeup! We went to MAC and got makeovers, and bought almost everything they put on our face. It was so much fun, but it makes me queasy thinking of all the money we spent.

I watched the Half of Us video's that they posted online (halfofus.com). Well, okay that's a lie. I only watched the one Pete Wentz was in and this other guy who was bipolar. I didn't necessarily identify with the guy that was bipolar, but a lot of what Pete said sounded like something I have felt before (and mostly, recently). It was good for me to see that I'm not the only crazy person out there who feels/felt this way. I mean, of course I know I'm not the only person that is depressed, but what I'm talking about is the things that he did. Like, not wanting to leave the house to travel for FOB. The majority of last week I didn't even go to school because I was so afraid of... something. I guess just disappointing myself, feeling that I would never be good enough. And other things too.

I also forgot to blog about the Department of Peace yesterday. I am now the official leader of district 19 for the DoP! No one has done anything yet with the DoP in district 19, so I will have to recruit members and get the word out there. I'm looking forward to setting up and organizing the whole thing, setting up meetings, and finding ways of informing people about the department of peace. It will be rewarding and it will give me something to focus on instead of being depressed that my life is such a bummer all the time.

I haven't blogged in a couple of days, but nothing much has been going on. Over the weekend I went to my dad's house. Saturday I went with dad to run errands and we snacked on junk for dinner. Then on Sunday I went to lunch and a movie with my papa. I love doing things like that just with him. We saw the move "The Bridge to Terabithia", which by the way, was a really good movie. The trailers depict the movie as a fairytale, but it's really about the ups and downs of life, friendship, and your imagination. There was even one part where I might have shed a tear.

Today, I decided that it was a good idea to skip school. Mom and I went to breakfast/lunch at Scrambl'z. Their food, is OH MY GOD, sooo gooood. I got a grilled meatloaf sandwich. AHH to die for. Lately, whenever I go out to eat, I've been trying to order food that I would normally never try. It seems like every time I've done that, I always get an awesome meal.

I've successfully put off doing my chem lab for freakin days now, so that is really what I have to (have to, have to, have to...) do right now, as it is due tomorrow!

Arrivederci!

So I'm sitting here watching Dr. Doolittle and typing up this blog on my dad's laptop. How exciting!!

Nothing much has been going on lately, just school and work. Ick. Life is pretty boring.

On a happy note, I finally got the Fall Out Boy CD last night!! I haven't really listened to it yet, but I will!

Ummmm, I don't have anything to say... except for school stuff, which I don't feel like blogging about right now.

I guess I'll just try to update later!

Normally, when  I used to blog at livejournal, I would update it all the time. But over the summer I just sort of stopped, and now that I have a Vox, I am having a hard time remembering and wanting to update. So I'm sort of just on here right now to make myself get back in the habit.

As of lately, nothing interesting has been going on. I spent Thanksgiving at my Papa's house, which was fairly unevenful. We had the usual: turkey, ham, mashed potatoes (the best!), cranberries, corn and so much more! There were about 20-30 people there, but maybe only ten of them I was actually related to. It was fun!

Over the weekend me and Nishy saw the movie Deja Vu. It was really, really good! I almost can't wait to see it again. For the past couple of months me and Nishy have become some sort of movie whores. We go to movies all the time now, mostly because there is rarely anthing else to do. We also usually movie hop to another movie. Before the New Year, I want to go see:

1. Happy Feet;

2. The Santa Clause 3;

3. Bobby;

4. The Pursuit of Happiness; and

5. The Fountain

Last Friday I also started my new job at Victoria's Secret! It was so weird. Usually when you start a new job, they teach you how to clock in and walk you through what you are supposed to do when you first get there. But, at VS, they completely ignored me. I had to ask someone how to clock in; after the girl was done showing me, she immediately walked off. So then I was just standing there, thinking: I wonder how I figure out what I am supposed to be doing? So then I (duh) asked the nearest associate how I figure out what I am supposed to do. Apparently, they post on the "Talent Board" in the back of the store what room everyone is supposed to work that day. I looked up my name and it said "VS". Very helpful, considering I didn't know what that meant. "VS" could mean Victoria's Secret, but after asking yet another associate, I found out that it meant "Very Sexy". This associate was nice enough to show me exactly which room that was in the store, and at this point I met my "Buddy", the girl that was supposed to train me. Train, HA! It was a joke. The most I learned was: greet every customer and ask if they need any help. If they do, help them. Oh, and try to get people to apply for the Angels credit card. So there I was, asking people if they needed help, when in fact I was the one in dire need for help. 

Time went by fast and I generally liked the job, but it was just sooo weird. I also worked on Saturday, which was a lot better. Kristy was my buddy that day, and she actually trained me.

I don't even know when I work again because they didn't schedule me this week! Thank goodness I still work at the driving school, or I would be broke!

Monday was really depressing because I unfortunately had to go back to school. College is nice, I love the freedom and flexibility it provides, but man, I really enjoyed my little four day weekend!

Today I didn't even go to school because strangely, both of my classes were canceled. Okay, so I lied, only one class was cancelled! I just didn't see any point in driving twenty miles for one class. I ended up spending my day in PJ's, watching movies on OnDemand and eating. Now that is the life.

Tomorrow brings school, work and I'm sure a plethora of homework. I still have to register for the Spring semester, so I will probably do that tomorrow too. I started to register about a week ago, but I was just so confused as to what classes to take, that I gave up. But I really need to get on it because all of the classes will be filled up if I don't!
