GIANT

this weekend so relaxing for me ;)
i cleaned out my closet and i made a couple piles for goodwill, put all my clothes away, cleaned up my desk, did laundry and i put all my school work into organized folders. i feel greatttt about this. i even finished my math hw which i usually do on monday mornings before class xP i know, my definition of relaxing is a bit different from other people's but getting organized and cleaned makes me feel SO refreshed. i could have started my english paper that's due thursday but i felt like rewarding myself so i decided to watch a movie.

i watched my man godfrey last week for a history project and i loved it. it's a movie from early 1930's but wow, it was hilarious and i really enjoyed it. it was a pleasant surprise. so when i saw giant on my dvd shelf downstairs, i decided to give it a shot. it's another oldie and i guessed i might like it. the cover informed me that it was a clasic... and that it was 200 minutes long O.O but i kind of had the time so i watched it >.<

and i am in awe of that movie. it was made so well. the effects aren't laughable at all, and it is like... what a movie should be. it was a love story that isn't ridiculous and it was also about family and money and racism and texas. maybe it went a little too in-depth compared to the kind of movies we like watching nowadays but it was a good change from all the crappy movies i've been watching in theatres. it was my first elizabeth taylor movie. also my first james dean movie. boy, they can act !! i am so impressed by this movie. i never would've guessed i would be into a 1956 film. it sounds so nerdy to say i am glad i had that assignment for history... but i am. it made me give old movies a chance and i actually appreciate them.

i've been trying to not go out at all so that's why i have a lot of time on my hands. i love hanging out with my friends and going out to eat and things but times are bad right now. the economy is going on a downward spiral and it's not going to get better anytime soon, that's definite. it's taken an affect on me so i try to do everything at home. it hasn't been too bad yet. i read more, i do better in school and i watch a lot more movies and tv shows haha :) and when i do meet up with friends, we go out for a coffee or froyo. they're affordable and don't take long.

today i was able to meet up with nicole and try the salted caramel hot chocolate from starbucks. ohh lordy. it's thickkk. it's not thick in texture but it just tastes thick. you can't taste the caramel at all. which is a good thing. it tastes exactly like chocolate-covered pretzels but more hot chocolate-y. i like it a lot but i don't know if i like it more than the hazelnut hot chocolate. hmm...

i want to add one more thing before i go. so i've mentioned i've been watching a lot of tv shows lately. i watched the first two seasons a while back and i loved them. it is not like any other show, just the content and the characters. i got started on season 3 and it is SUCH a disappointment. it's the same thing but it seems like they're trying too hard with the plot. there are too many things happening to dexter that is screwing with his life. it just doesn't seem like the other seasons and they're trying to hard to get new viewers. it lost its excitement for me. *sigh* money ruins everything x(

night.

end of the week

thankfully, thursday is the last school day of the week for me.
i feel so good right now. i'm done and i can relax and i can just take it slow.

;)

i would say more but i'm gonna go just chillax.
peace !!

there's something in the air. i know it.
i am feeling SOOOO lazy.

i've been fighting it well, sorta. and then yesterday i gave up. i watched all the new episodes from the most recent seasons of ugly betty and grey's anatomy. i think ugly betty had 3 and grey's had 2. and then i watched some scrubs. earlier this week, i caught up with my 91210 and dexter. holy me!

but it feels soooo good to be lazy!! oh my goodness... i'm getting fat too. i feel the blubber trying to form on my abdomin. *sigh*

and another sigh for all the shiz i have to do over the weekend. i have to watch a movie to write a history paper on it, a lot of math hw (sO tedious), i gotta assign photos to photographers, do a phone interview for a class and ugh! work!

just.... kill me now.

RAVES!

A rave (or rave party), is a term, in use since the 1980s, to describe dance parties (often all-night events). At these parties, DJs and other performers play electronic dance music (sometimes referred to as "rave music"), with the accompaniment of laser light shows, projected images, and artifical fog.

okk so obviously, i've never been to a rave. i know a lot of people who do go, so i've heard a lot about them. i've also seen a lot of pictures on facebook and myspace of raves. the ring-pops, the bracelets, the costumes! they look fun and crazy. i've been clubbing a few times but raves look like they're on a different level. the things that have been keeping me from going (besides my uber conservative parents that want me home at 11) are the scary people that i heard about that go around raves, poking people with drugs/AIDs, etc. holy crap! ravers will say that you're ok if you 'stay in the light' and go with a bunch of people but THAT does not comfort me at all. some ravers want to trade bracelets and some may have acid on them! i can't understand the people who do go, and i guess i can't speak for them until i go to one, but man... it sounds really dangerous.

if anyone is planning on going to monster massive, watch out !
