Movie Madness

So, I have just returned from an exciting adventure to see The Dark Knight once again. I enjoyed the thrill so much the first time that I had to see it one more time. I had planned to wait until it was out in the dollar theater, but when a friend said that he wanted to see it, I decided to go today. So, the credits had played through very nicely- I enjoyed the preview for Twilight even though they are changing the story (ugh! I hate when movies change the book's story!!). And, no, Edward is not handsome enough for the part. Cedric Diggory doesn't quite cut how my imagination had described Edward. And, yessir, I really do appreciate the picture my imagination gave me... But anyway, I was in the theater, watching The Dark Knight, and we had only gotten 5 minutes into the movie when the fire alarm goes off. So, the lights slowly come back, and everyone just sits in their seats, waiting for the movie to start again. But after a few minutes they realize that it's not. So they, grunting with displeasure, rise to their feet to leave. They apparently had to close the theater for two hours before they could open again- it takes two hours to find and fight the imaginary fire? Why do people pull fire alarms? But, fear not, I went back a couple of hours later to use the rain checks they gave us. However, because I didn't use my ticket, I now have a pass to a movie. I will probably use it for X files or anything else that looks good that I can't think of right now. I also want to go see The Hulk and Prince Caspian in the dollar theater.
I have recently found the wonder of Pandora, and am making a list of songs that I want. I really like listening to "Bubblegum Oldies" and am currently listening to "Billy Joel Radio" even though 'Maneater' by Hall & Oates is currently playing- a very good song. I also like "Oldies Soul", "Pop/Rock", "Motown" and my usual favorites- Weird Al, Michael Buble, Me First and the gimme gimmes, and a million other artists that I can't think of at this time and place. I love music, sweet sweet music.

You are what you Eat

If anyone has seen the movie Split Infinity, then you know what I mean when I say that I'm dressed like AJ on her first day in the past. Maybe that's where I got the idea to wear this outfit. But, besides the fact that I actually kinda like the way my clothes look, I have a bigger reason for wearing what I do. It all started with pizza. Pizza in the morning, Pizza in the evening, Pizza at supper time- when pizza's almost dirt cheap, you can eat pizza anytime. So, pizza was the beginning of an eating frenzy. Do you realize (no, not "that I have had diahrea since easters") how many calories and grams of fat are on a single slice of pizza? And do you know how many pieces one must eat in order to be fully satisfied? Well, I do, and it is no small number, mark my words ("consider them marked"). So, along with eating pizza, I would also eat anything else that came in my path when I was hungry, and even sometimes when I wasn't. I love sweets- especially brownies, samantha's cookies, dulce de leche, and kinder eggs. Unfortunately, those items were often readily available for my consumption during the fall and especially winter semester. So, you can just ask my hips- my hips don't lie- and they will tell you that they are feeling especially uncomfortable, yet warm with the extra insulation, in my now-tight jeans. So, I am forced to wear whatever fits and is comfortable, which often winds up being loose pants so that you don't see any of this:



Yes, the muffin-top look is definitely not what I'm going for. So, it is true that you are what you eat. "the fat content. It has fat in it- it's going to be in me!" But, I guess it's good that I don't eat too many tacos, like mario apparently did...

Sour Apple Soda

Ah, Sundays. The most looked-forward to, and also sometimes dreaded, day of the week. During the week, I am so busy with school and work that I look forward to the weekend. Just to remember that I don't really have a "weekend" after all. (weekend-n- two days of relaxation and enjoyment after a long week of work) Saturday is pretty full of waking up late, then getting ready for and going to work. Then, when Sunday comes, it seems like time flies and monday is right around the corner. But, it is always nice to just sit on the couch while I listen to my goldfish, Gilbert, dropping rocks in his bowl and drink a Green Apple Soda. That is, I am drinking the soda and listening to my fish, who is not drinking anything except his dirty water. Good thing I'm the human in this picture.
While I was letting my mind wander this afternoon, I was remembering when I was in middle school. I think part of what brought this back from my memory was Chandler coming to visit. My friend, Samantha, has her sister here, visiting and whenever I'm around her, I feel young again. Today I decided to change my outfit so that we would match. exactly. Wearing the exact same dress as someone else is something I would do in middle and early highschool, but have since realized that it probably isn't the best idea. So, you may be wondering, why did I give in to the fashion faux pas? Because I like feeling young and being silly. That's how I was in middle school anyway, and still am a little bit crazy. Here is something that my friends and I did to pass that time and make each other laugh. This one was written by my old friend, Ambur- the most creative one. I don't blame anyone who doesn't waste their time reading this, because it is really long, and you might not get the inside jokes. But, if nothing else, you'll understand my quirks better.



Marie: I'm still full...
Judith: What do mean still? You have a cheeseburger in your hand!
Marie: HOW COME I AM ALWAYS THE ONE EATING IN AMBUR'S STORIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

death!!!!!

Oh man, I love those episodes. That was only one of about 42 others that were made by ambur (shown here) brenna, judith, and even I made a couple. But, I spared you from reading mine- they were badly written. But, now maybe there is a little more of an explanation of why I'm crazy- I grew up that way.
