I found this on YouTube. It is so funny! But kind of sad at the same time. Poor little drugged up kid. Mom, was I like that when I had to go through that whole process of getting a cap on my tooth?

First Five
First Five!!!
Share
Today at 6:19pm
The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! (do I even have that many people reading this?)
my choice. for you. this offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
2. what I create will be just for you.
3. it’ll be done this year. {translation: you may be waiting a little while}
4. you have no clue what it’s going to be … it may be cards, a poem, a bookmark, something yummy or a complete surprise to you (and me!) … who knows? not you, that’s for sure!
5. i reserve the right to do something extremely strange.
6. most importantly, you must offer the same deal on your blog - the first 5 people to comment on your blog (or if you do not have a blog, facebook) get something made by YOU! the first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me …
Those were the rules as copied exactly from Compulsive Writer's blog. She added an idea. If you’re not the kind of person that wants to make something tangible for others, how about some kind of service for them, any type, any size?

The Prestige
I realized today why I like this movie so much. Well, one, because Christopher Nolan is probably the most amazing screenwriter and director to ever walk the fact of this earth. But today I remembered a quote from the film that I used in an English paper once. Robert Angier, one of the magicians, says it. And it's how I feel about acting. It's why I act. I'm not particularly good at it, and it terrifies me to no end. But this is why I do it. And this is why I write.
The audience knows the truth: the world is simple. It's miserable, solid all the way through. But if you could fool them, even for a second, then you can make them wonder, and then you... then you got to see something really special... you really don't know?... it was... it was the look on their faces...

Life as it is...
I've lived for over forty years and I've seen life as it is. Pain, misery, cruelty beyond all belief. I've heard all the voices of God's noblest creature. Moans from bundles of filth in the street. I've been a soldier and a slave. I've seen my comrades fall in battle or die more slowly under the lash in Africa. I've held them at the last moment. These were men who saw life as it is, yet they died despairing. No glory, no brave last words, only their eyes, filled with confusion, questioning "Why?" I don't think they were wondering why they were dying, but why they had ever lived. When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams, this may be madness; to seek treasure where there is only trash. Too much sanity may be madness! But maddest of all - -to see life as it is and not as it should be.
This is my favorite part of the Man of la Mancha.

The Adventures of Humpty Dumpty
This came out of my head during Psychology:
And that is what my mind spewed all over a piece of notebook paper during Psychology.
"Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King's horses
And all the King's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again."
Poor, poor Humpty Dumpty...
...but maybe he could put himself back together, if he tried hard enough. If he wanted to be put back together.
"All the King's horses and all the King's men couldn't put Humpty together again."
Today I had a revalation. What if Humpty Dumpty WANTED to heal himself? I think he could do it. Maybe he didn't want to be put back together by the King's horses and the King's men.
And that is what my mind spewed all over a piece of notebook paper during Psychology.

SNOW!!!
So... yesterday, when we went to dinner, we all remarked on how the snow was finally all melted. I guess we spoke too soon, because later that night, as we were having our reading party, I looked out the window and there was about 2 inches of snow on the ground. Later that night, Katelin and I were looking at old family photos, and we each got a text message from Geneil: "Snow!" We looked out the window and, sure enough, there was snow. About 6 inches. Then we heard a THUD and there was a snowball on the window! We looked out and Geneil was down below on the lawn, scooping up another snowball to throw at us. Then Katelin ran down and let her in to the building. She managed to convince us all to go out into the snow, so we all put on our boots and our coats and ran out. It was awesome! So quiet and the sky was all orangey and cool. We played until about 11:30, and then came back to my room and made hot chocolate and steamed milk, with Gwen's "areolatte" frother thing. It's sweet, but messy if you don't know what you're doing!! After talking for another half an hour with Geneil, I went to bed.
This morning when I woke up, Katelin pulled back the curtain and blinded me with the white clouds. It's STILL snowing. I reckon we've got about a foot, maybe a little less. I wish I didn't have to go anywhere today. I like to look at it, but it gets all in my eyes and the wind blows it into the hood of my coat when I go out. Oh well, haha.

"You'll have
to find your way into the part.
"And when you've found your way in, stay in your dream. ... Believe me. If you want to be truly free, wholly yourself -- you do
want that, don't you?
"Then you will find what you want only as long as you stay in your
dream. Once abandon it, and you are at the mercy of other people's
dreams. They will make of you what they want you to be. Forget them. Trust to your dream."

I like.
Aunt Jess posted this on facebook.
"Our children learn from us; our example sets the pattern for them. If we talk over them when we speak, or interrupt them, they will do the same. If we shout when we are angry, so will they. If we tell them what to do instead of asking them politely, they will copy us. If our children have qualities we dislike, we should question ourselves as to where they learned them from."

Huh.
I'm not sure when it switched from "Where are you staying?" to "Where are you living?" But it did. Probably around the same time that it switched from "Let's go back to the room," to "Let's go home." I didn't even notice. Figures, though.
Wedding Bells?
Granted, these rumours circulate almost every spring like clockwork, but I get a hunch these are different.
The couple, who have been together for 10 years and have two children, Lily-Rose, nine, and six-year-old Jack, together, are planning to tie the knot in a chapel on the grounds of their $1.25 million French estate.
A source revealed: “They’re a very private couple. It’s no surprise they’d want to celebrate at their home.”
Johnny, 45, sparked rumors he was set to propose to Vanessa last month when he was seen shopping for an engagement ring in California.
The pair are keen to keep the ceremony as intimate as possible, and will only invite 50 of their closest friends and family.
Director Tim Burton is expected to act as best man, while Rolling Stones rocker Keith Richards is also due to attend.
An insider added: “Keith and Johnny are good pals. Johnny’s portrayal of Jack Sparrow in ‘The Pirates of the Caribbean’ was partly inspired by the old rocker, and Keith had a cameo in the second sequel.”
