I know I’ such a nerd. :3 But, the fact that I can be a “band buddy” makes me really happy. It means that I can help band students (who play the clarinet) during the week. And I’ll get paid $5 per hour. The fact that I’m getting money at all, is enough for me. xD I’m broke. I’m living off of target giftcards and a $25 itunes gift card. (Any song/artist suggestions would be loved)

So this subject of band buddies was not brought up to me, rather my sisters and friend. And, well I hope I’ll be able to do it soon because I’m in desperate need of some money. The benifits of band.

Plus: I’m seeing Eagle Eye today with Jamie. Can’t wait! <3

Well, i want to spread the news about Bella’s search to find a new blog/site and let the world see its creativity and awesomeness. I’m not entering this “campaign” as she calls it, I’m sponsoring a site/blog that I think could really really win this.

Now don’t be offended if I don’t pick you. I’m really going to try and find someone. An unknown (much like myself xD) and help them win this campaign, and then of course get on Bella’s blog. I want a good reason why i should pick you. Random is too general as of recently. OMG! WHAT ELSE IS THERE???? A lot. Trust me. So give me a good reason. Tell me why I should chose you.

Is Louie OK? First feather pulled. It came completley out, or it looks like it. I don’t know if he’s got irritated skin, if he’s upset or stressed.

That’s definitely not a good sign, and I don’t want it to become a habbit or something…

Ooh, who likes sewing? I do–when I have a machine. o0 So, my Mom and I are working on a purse for me. We picked out some material (with Jello) at our local fabric store and we began today!

I’ll post pictures later…

Now, I decided to make a cute little handkerchief. Yay! For the inside of the purse you use this kind of padding called: batting. ^____^ I put that on the inside of my handjerchief and just sewed it up. Its really soft and splooshy! I lurvvv it! 8D

Mainly, its for when people start to tear up. I mean, I don’t want foreign snot on it, do I? No. Way. So, pictures shall come later as well. I’ll do it tomorrow, but its one AM right now.

So, on another subject entirely: guitar. Gosh, I’ve wanted to play guitar for ever. Literally since I was able to understand what it was (younger than first grade) At one point in time, my Aunt actually taught us (Me, Jello and Bella.) She’s a great guitarist. Any how, she moved to New York, and I get to ichat her. Yay! However, we still need to set up more lessons. Meanwhile: I’ve been looking up chords and can play a couple of songs, but only 2-3 all the way through. (This includes colors of the wind–Pocahontas.) Currently, my fingers are feeling better, but a while ago, they felt pretty dead. I don’t stop playing though, honestly–its fun! The only problem, I can’t read actual tabs or whatever they’re called. I can just read, say:

G        A     Bb

Blha, blah blah..

Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight is a new take on the traditional vampire. So, let’s take a closer look! xD

Summary:

The story’s heroine is a young seventeen year old girl by the name of Bella Swan. She is the daughter of Reneé and Charlie Swan (divorced). Every summer (I think) Bella travels to Forks, a small town where her father Charlie (Chief of Police) lives. However, this time, she’s staying for the school year (I think).

Bella soon meets Edward Cullen. Of course, he’s the attractive young guy who’s just her age. Everything about him just makes Bella melt–and guess what? She sits next to him in biology.

Edward and Bella become good friends, and soon Bella learns the surreal secret of the Cullen family. Every single one of them are vampires. She meets the family of course. There’s Alice, Jasper, Emmet, Rosalie, Dr. Cullen (Carlisle) and Esme. Edward, Alice and Jasper all have incredible powers too; Edward can read minds, Alice can see the future and Jasper can sway the moods of other people to his liking.

Bella becomes trapped in a life threatening situation filled with suspense. While becoming used to the well-behaved Cullens, she comes into contact with three vampires. Three normal vampires. (The Cullens eat/suck the blood of animals not humans.

Plot:

Basically, there’s this girl named Bella Swan. She goes to live with her dad (Charlie Swan) in Forks-this small town somewhere. She meets this attractive guy named Edward Cullen. They fall in love, but Edward’s a vampire. And so is his ‘family’. Edward has powers, Bella loves him… yeah.

Overall opinion:

Well, the book could have been better. No doubt with every book, there is one better. This book comes short of suspenseful, truth be told. There really is only one part towards the end of the book…and well, its a little too quick for suspense (I think).

Overall, Bella is clumsy and somewhat dim-witted when Edward is around. Of course he is perfect and everything someone like her could want/need/have. However, I thought the whole “I love you, but I can’t be with you because I’m a vampire..” thing was a bit annoying in the first few chapters. And then, his perfectness. Man, Ok its enough that he is amazingly stunning and attractive in every way, (including his velvety voice and butterscotch/topaz eyes.) but then he’s super strong, super fast and can read minds–all but Bella’s that is. To add to that: my little question: It says in the book that all vampires are somewhat good looking…so then were they ugly when they were humans?

Alright, so with that over with…I give you:

My final rating:

3.7/5

This movie wasn’t what I expected at all. You see, stupid old me thought that The Dark Knight was its own movie–and not a sequel to Batman Begins. Yeah. See? So, I thought it would be TERRIBLE. Instead, it was so much better than I has expected. Any way, It wasn’t mind blowing, but it was pretty good. In fact, if I hadn’t seen The Dark Knight first, I would so totally be in love with this movie.

So, we will commence with he fabulously long reviews, shan’t we? Well maybe. Any way, the movie was so totally awesome. 

Quotes

Bruce/Batman:

[to Ducard] I seek…The means to fight injustice. To turn fear against those who prey on the fearful.

 [To the homeless man he traded with earlier in the movie]Nice coat.

Well, a guy who dresses up like a bat clearly has issues. (he says this to some other rich people at his birthday party or something–obviously as Bruce.)

It’s not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me. [Quoting Rachel Dawes]

Gordon:

[to Batman]I think you’re trying to help…” [notices that he is gone]“But I’ve been wrong before.I gotta get me one of those. [Referring to the batmobile]

Crane/Scarecrow:

[to rachel]“This is where we make the medicine. Perhaps you should have some…clear yourhead.

[to Batman-after breathing in his 'fear toxin'] “”Dr. Crane isn’t here right now. But if you’d like to make an appointment…”

Various quotes:

[Bruce reading newspaper] ‘Drunken Billionaire Burns Down Mansion’

and then there’s that one quote where Bruce is talking to Lucius about cave diving and spelunking or something…but I don’t remember it and can’t find it on the internet.

(I got most of these quotes off of wikiquote)

pictures!!

3. Michael Caine/Alfred

4. Gary Oldman/Gordon

5. Morgan Freeman/Lucius Fox

6. Ducard/Ra’s Al Guhl/Ken Watanabe

Rating:

Overall, I give this movie a 4.3 out of 5! it was great! So go watch it! I still advise seeing it even if you saw TDK before. Your expectations may be higher for BB if you saw TDK first though I must warn you. Nevertheless, it is good. So deal with it.

Have you noticed how lots of times I sart my posts with “So…” eh boring… Ok any way:

Yestderday was pretty fun. My cousin came over (she’s 31) and visited. She’s awesome! Ok, she’s from my Dad’s sie of the family. So she speeks fluent Chinese and yeah…

Well, we eventually started to make dumplings. I hope you know what they are, because I’m not going to explain. xD Any how, we always do this when she’s over. So, we made a bunch and then ate them. Yum! ^^

After we ate dumplings, we walked. We walked around in a big circle, but then went on over to Rite Aid. There, we got some ice cream and tried on glasses. ^^

Once we got home we made soaps! OH MY GAWSH! You don’t know how much fun it is! Its all fun and soapy, but…you can make really awesome stuff when you have molds and all. So now we have a bunch of awesome soaps too. Oh and they smell good too! You can add colors and scents. So awesome!

So yeah…

So, today Jello brought Louie outside. (Aagain) She put him on a small kumquat tree, and then she put him on the old club-house that my Dad built nearly seven years ago. XD He sat in the window enjoying the sun and everything. What a cutie! <3

Often times I read to him. So far, we’re on chapter six (I think) in Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. Louie’s standing on the keyboard now. Aw its a bit slippery so he just climbed on my arm. I hope the camera will load soon. Some day I’ll put some better quality pictures of Louie up. I know I keep promising that, and hopefully I will. We used to have nearly 800 photos on our camera, but I hand deleted 400, one by one. ^^ It was aggravating. ^^

I think Louie really loves being outside. Its nice and warm, but not too warm. Which of course, is good. Aww Ok, I’ll continue this post later. Louie just pooped on my pants. :O

Finally, I’ve got some actual pictures of him. The camera still wouldn’t load…so I had to use photo booth on my mac. Right now he’s sitting on top! He’s so adorable..

In any case, Louie’s sitting with Bella on the couch watching Shear Genius while Buddy’s in here with me with a chair under the door. Man, I was so scared. For both of them. I mean if Buddy did something, Louie could be hurt or worse…and then what would happen to Buddy

Any way, On with the bad-quality photos!

I went to Barnes&Noble and I saw this fabulous book. It’s of Batman-The Dark Knight and its how they created it etc. In the back they also have the whole script. It was cool. I was amazed they had several ideas for the joker, what he should look like etc. It was pretty cool. ^^

Some day I will buy it and post pictures-if the camera loads. That’s a whole ‘nother story. eww its annoying. Any way, good movie. Read the post below. And read it ALL!
