I feel obligated to post this morning, since I haven't posted for a semi-while.

I saw The Dark Knight. Amazing movie. It's just, so, so, good. I'm not sure how many of you would like it though, since there's a lot of action, pop-ups and villains/superheroes in it. But, if you're into that thing, go see it. It's just so freaking good, I was shaking in my seat the whole time because it was so cool.

The Joker was the best part. He was both hilarious and creepy at the same time. He was played by Heath Ledger, which is so sad because he was so good as the joker, but he died in January from an overdose of medications :(

Poor bugger.

But, god, it was so good. Can't wait to see it again.

As for anything else... um, not much has happened. I'll be going to canada for five days to visit some cousins, then to chicago because my brother is college touring. This is all happening during August, btw, so if we were to have a picnic, it'd either have to be early early August or late late August/September. Or else I can't come, and we all know that that can't happen.

Akanaki Nokunaka

This being the song we used to warm up with in improv, I just bought it and I'm listening to it right now. It's so sad, it brings back so many defined memories. I'm going to listen to this song, like, every day. WAAAAAAH! :(

I'm definitely going back next year, and so are a whole lot of people that were in the class this year. So, thank god for that.

As for the last day, it was so much fun. We did the play, and everyone seemed to think we were hilarious. The jokes that we wouldn't laugh at they rofl'd at. I had a few good lines myself, and that helped a lot, because the laughing helped me and everyone else be even funnier and louder and more charismatic. So it was awesome.

After that we had a little after party with pizza and pop, and wrote down a few contact addresses like my blog and email, and every time someone said they were leaving everyone would give them a huge group hug, so they pretty much wouldn't leave for another five minutes. One person in our class tried leaving without getting hugged, and he was, quite literally, grabbed and dragged back into the room for a hug, which I found hilarious.

*sigh*

I can't wait till next year.

Macalaster, Amy, and WoW

I doubt any of you are starting to look at colleges, or even thinking about colleges (cause I'm not), but I do have to completely advertise Macalaster, because it's an amazing school that I think you all would really like.

First of all, it's a pretty small college. Which means that there's like, 15-19 students in each class, so you'd get to know the professor really well. Like, you get to know them on the first day you're there, which to me, is a really good thing because I like small classes better than oh, say 200 to 300 people in a class at huge colleges like Harvord.

Also, it's an incredibly balanced school, focusing on not only the arts and theatre but also science and chemistry. They have a really cool theatre, and the seats in there are on the movable pillar things so that people can set up the audience seats in really cool ways. It's pretty awesome. The school also has a lot of different language courses. They don't suggest taking a language you took for a long time, because you'd just be going through the colors and days and numbers from 1 to 10 again. But they offer languages like Italian and ancient greek and arabic and a bunch of other REALLY cool languages (btw, you can get pretty much any job if you know arabic *hint*hint*). The school is also really diverse, so that's always a plus.

But, yeah, it's a really good college. I reccomend it to anyone.

Alright, I admit my musical tastes don't usually involve R&B/Soul music (with only a few exceptions like the Jackson 5), but OH MY GOD, Amy Winehouse is the coolest R&B singer ever. 1. she's got an amazing deep, powerful black voice, 2. her music is very jazzy, slow, sad and relaxing, 3. It's MUSIC. She doesn't put any digital voices in the background, which, if you're doing R&B, is just stupid. She's just great. I suggest looking her up on itunes.

I got to level 70 on WoW (World of Warcraft)! And for those who don't know, level 70 is the highest level you can get on it. I know nobody else will care except Maggie, but I'm so proud of myself. It's taken me over a year, pretty much out of sure laziness. But it feels great :D

Up North

I'm just about to go up north to Bluefin Bay (it's near Lake Superior). And I'm really tired.

Maybe I'll update the blog later to talk about it.

Btw, I forgot to mention that 4ish days ago it was Gremlin's Place 1st anniversary. Yay.

LOTR

Alright. So, watching all three LOTR movies down in the basement during a beautiful, hot, sunny summer day, but to be honest, I'm glad I did it. Because it was totally and completely worth it. Sucked out my entire day, yes, but it was fun.

I started watching them at around 10:30(am), and would stop periodically after each film, while the credits rolled, to get some food, say hi to my parents, before going downstairs and starting a new movie. When I needed to move I acted parts of the movie out. But otherwise, watching them all in a row just made me fall in love with Lord of the Rings more and more. They're just simply great, and with more messages and themes about friendship and loyalty than you'd expect from a fantasy epic.

Overrall, it was a really fun day. Maybe I'll do it again sometime, if it's like, pouring rain out or else just a crappy day in general.

I highly reccomend doing this, for anyone who likes LOTR. Or, if you don't, just sit down and watch a series till you drop.

Oh, and last night I had a dream our school was being overrun by orcs (yay!). Then my dream switched and I had to bake cupcakes for Pippin's grandmother. Bah. That's what I get for watching 12 hours of LOTR.

But, no lies. I had those dreams, and both of them were epic ('cept for when I put the blue frosting in the milk and I got whipped... >_>)

But, anyway, I'm gonna be fairly busy for the next sixish days. I'll be going to a certain cabin this weekend, then will be going up north immediately the following day after I get back from the certain cabin to go up north to Bluefin Bay. So that should be fun :D

BWAHAHAHAHAHA

Okay. Suckish feeling gone. I feel so peaceful right now. I've got this whole summer ahead of me, and just the thought of that makes me all giddy and excited.

I was gonna post about the party after everyone left, but I'll do that later. Bye!

WOOOOOOAAAaaawww?

School is out.

Gone. Done with.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I feel so giddy right now. Oh my god. Summer. Summer summer summer. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

HAHA!
HAH!

*sigh*...

Now I can just squeeze all of school out of me and enjoy the three months of bliss.

Minus the summer reading, of course.

But still.

SUMMER!

Although I do have some regrets mixed in with my happy feelings. It kinda sucks that I won't be able to see my teachers today, and that I won't see the end-of-year video thing, because I've always loved those (6th grade one was the best imo). Did I mention it sucks I won't be able to see my teachers again?

Oh yeah.

The prospect of being a freshman doesn't really appeal to me either. I'm trying not to care, saying the stuff I used to say to myself ALL the time, that you can still visit teachers, being older doesn't mean you have to act older, for god's sake you're still a little girl to some people's eyes, etc. etc., but the idea of having one year left at South View before moving onto the freaking High School scares the crap out of me.

Oh well. Probably by the end of the day I'll be completely fine and not worry about the future and what it holds. I just have these temporary periods of sadness when I think about growing older in general >:I

But anyway, I'll be able to play WoW more! WOW, what a prospect! I can't wait. I WILL get Brin to 70 this summer. I will. She's almost level 68 anyway, so I don't think I'll have too much trouble. It's taken over a year, but hey, at least I've got my priorities in the right place, eh?

Well, no. That's just cause of laziness. Gack.

And now to watch Sweeney Todd... again!
