Um...

I think that I went on a date this morning. My friend John said he wanted to hang out this weekend and we went to breakfast this morning. He paid. I felt kind of bad because I got chai but it was ridiculously spicy so I hardly drank any of it. I had cinnamon french toast. Then we went back to my room and attempted to watch Orphan, but it was taking forever to buffer, so we watched some cliffjumping videos made by some of the people who went to my high school. These guys are crazy (but not literally). If you want to watch them, click here.  Then we went to the bookstore and I meant to get the other book I need for my drugs and society class, but they were all out, so I ordered it. John said to let him know when it comes in and he'll take me to get it and we can get lunch too. He took me back to my dorm and left.  I didn't get my book, but I did get some AAA batteries and a sewing kit, since I seem to have misplaced my sewing needle.

Now I am still waiting for Orphan to finish buffering so I can watch it. I have seen it before, but I missed the beginning and the rest was good enough to watch again.

Last night I watched two movies. The first was Stranger than Fiction.  I was really excited when I saw that title, since I have been wanting to watch it for a while now, but couldn't remember what it was called.  I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars, only because I feel like I've been handing out a lot of five star scores lately.  It is a wonderful examination into the worth of life and how the choices we make affect us.  At least that's the meaning I got out of it. The story itself is quite interesting and the narration adds a lot to the story.

After that I watched Bedtime Stories, since it seemed like a good movie to watch before going to bed.  It gets a 4 out 5, partially because I laughed so hard and so often that by the time it was over, my stomach hurt pretty bad.  It was a really good movie.   Earlier on in the film he tells the children that in real life there are no happy endings.  The thing that I seem to critique the most is endings, and this one was all too perfect.  While it was perfect it was also kind of nice that Skeeter finally got what he had worked toward for his entire life, what he didn't imagine was possible, a happy ending.

Today I made this:

I used scraps from my t-shirt that I cut-up, a spare button from my new coat, blue thread, a safety pin, and scraps I cut from a sock that returned from the dryer without a mate. I really like how it turned out and it goes well with my coat, since the button was a spare for this coat.

I just downloaded Gimp and it is awesome!

Yesterday was good

As you may recall, last night I had dinner with H. I'm honestly not sure if it was a date or not.
Reasons it was not a date: his roommate came along
Reasons it was a date: He let me wear his hat since I forgot mine, he pushed me all the way to Subway which is up a long hill, he was "dancing with me" by pushing my wheelchair around obstacles while singing (it's hard to explain, but it was cute), although he didn't pay he did offer to pay (I feel weird letting other people pay for me when I can afford to pay for myself), I'm pretty sure that he would have given me a hug if not a kiss goodnight if his roommate wasn't with him.

Now that I've listed everything out, I think that it may have been a date. Regardless of whether it was or not, it was really fun. When we got behind slow people, he ran to pass them on the crosswalks and made racecar noises. That kind of sounds immature but it was funny. When I'm with him, I feel like I can say or do anything and he won't think poorly of me. Last night was good because it gave me time to have fun and not have to worry about stuff like doctors and my parents.

Update: I completely forgot that I planned to do a movie review, so here it is. If, like me, you are way behind on popular movies and have not seen Disturbia yet, I suggest that you do so immediately.  Well, I mean if you're in some sort of life-threatening situation, you should probably deal with that before seeing Disturbia. And if you are in a life-threatening situation, why are reading my blog right now? Shouldn't you be trying to survive?! Anyway, after my date(?) last night, I watched Disturbia with only some white chocolate raspberry truffle ice cream to keep me company. It is the second movie that has ever made me jump. The first was Orphan. Normally, while watching scary movies/thrillers, I just laugh while everyone else is completely freaked out. The only movies that I can get scared by are the ones that could legitimately happen. I'm not saying that they are extremely likely to happen, just that it's more likely than being attacked by alien zombie demons.  Anyway, Disturbia was a really great movie. If you haven't seen it, stop reading now. There will be spoilers.





This seems like a safe distance.


I really liked the creepy serial killer guy. Actually, let me rephrase, the creepy serial killer guy was perfect for the part. I actually loathed him, since he's a serial killer and I'm not fond of them.  Anyway, he was really good at appearing out of nowhere silently and the part where he got in the girl's car was really creepy. When he appeared in front of the car, that's the part that made me jump.  The bodies in the water were a very nice unexpected touch. Well, now I sound like I'm morbid. What I mean is that they weren't necessary but they really contributed to the this-serial-killer-guy-is-a-total-freak factor.  I give Disturbia a 4 out of 5. It would have gotten a 5 out of 5 but they insisted on having a happy ending. I'm not saying that I wished the characters had been murdered, just that the mom would have likely been killed instead of just tied up. He really had no reason not to kill her.  It would have been more realistic, since he's obviously into killing people. I think that he probably would have killed her after slamming her head into the wall. Then, the ending would be sad, but at least the teens would have each other and it would have been more realistic.

I also watched Bandslam. That was the day before yesterday. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless they're into indie music and shallow movie plots. The ending was more realistic than Disturbia's ending, but Bandslam gets only 1 star out of 5.  I was especially annoyed by people headbanging to indie music, seriously not okay.
