He is the only guy I would ever date who smokes. Maybe it's because he's French?

LOL (laughing out loud)
For those of you who don't know, there is a French movie made in 2008 that is fabulous. It's called: LOL (laughing out loud) and I honestly think it's probably one of my favorite movies ever. No, I don't speak a word of French beyond mere basics. Thank God for subtitles. Sure, I watched the movie with awkward English subtitles that didn't always make sense, (sadly, LOL hasn't been released in America with official English subtitles) but it's an awesome movie to seek out.
The movie centers around Lola, a 16 year old French teenager who lives in Paris. Her divorced parents are having an affair, she finds out on her first day back to school that her (now ex) boyfriend cheated on her, and there's her ex's (hot) best friend who seems to have feelings for her that are a bit more than friendly. To top things off, her mom finds her secret diary and reads it like any parent would. Ooh, the drama!
This movie is just so awesome. Everything about it works. The relationship Lola has with her family, her friends, and Mael, her ex's best friend (who's her bff too) is relatable. Can I just say too that Mael is probably the cutest guy ever? I love him. Because this is in Paris, all the teens smoke, which normally I don't like. But I'm sorry, Mael is just too hot to be mad at him for smoking. The actor who plays him, Jeremy Kapone, is a smoker in real life it seems (based on the pics on the internet of him) and you know what? I forgive him for it.
I totally recommend finding LOL online to watch. Especially before you see the American version of it starring Miley Cyrus. Nothing against her, but I'm slightly wary of seeing the newer LOL, because I love the French one so much. At least the original writer/director wrote the American one. . .

Journals
I don't really get to blog as much as I'd like. I often decide to write in my personal journal (the old fashion way, you know, with a pen?) rather than take the time to write here. Mostly because unlike a blog, a journal feels more personal. I can underline viciously when I'm pissed off, I can draw little hearts and stars if I'm in a certain mood, and most importantly, I can keep the journals I write in for future reference. I love going back to reread what I wrote, because it's like, "wow I've actually changed a lot since _____ happened."
Anyways, I'm finally updating. Though I don't think anyone actually reads this besides my best friend. So far in 2011 nothing important has transpired. My birthday though is in 4 weeks. 18. Wooo! I'm so excited. I can finally do stuff I've been wanting to do since I was 13. . .
I think I'm gonna stop this post here, because I'm tired and have plans for when I wake up...

He's old enough to be my dad, but I adore him! <3

I Just Had Sex
Haaaaaaaa, negative!
Please, like I would honestly confess to something like that here on my blog. But I'm not going to lie, the song "I Just Had Sex" by The Lonely Island (featuring Akon singing the super catchy chorus) was stuck in my head for a solid three days. It has like over 13 million views, but I first saw it when it barely had 300,000. I'm a fan of the Lonely Island, so I was glad to see another music video by them.
The other day in my broadcasting class we had a debate about which one of their songs was the best. The main contenders were "Lazy Sunday," "Like A Boss," "I'm on a Boat," and of course, "Dick in a Box." I personally like all of them, but I think my favorite is either "Like a Boss" or "I'm on a Boat." Though the newest one is a serious consideration for that honor too.
For those of you who have been living in a cave with no internet service for the past few days, here's the Lonely Island's latest:

Sleepless
I can't sleep.
So now I'm like making up for three months of silence by blogging random stuff. Who even reads this blog, anyways? Everyone is on Tumblr. I affectionately refer to Tumblr as the "dieter's blog" ~ because, you know, it's just a site where you repost things someone else and a zillion others already posted. Oh, and you have followers who can repost what you post too. Yeah, yeah. I get some people take Tumblr as a legit blog and actually WRITE. But I'm sorry. I just can't be bothered to convert.
I don't think it'll die anytime soon. It's like the formspring that everyone still uses. Speaking of which, I probably should get rid of my account on formspring. No one has asked me a real question in forever. I should probably get rid of my Twitter account too. I don't even remember the last time I tweeted.
I probably would have tweeted about how my awesome new Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 poster came in the other day. It has Voldemort on it, pointing a wand at the observer, and there's his snake hovering right behind him. I love the quote: "The last enemy is death." Pretty badass.
I loved HP and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. It was just... amazing. I like how they ended it, and as a fan of the books, I must say I was really glad they were pretty faithful to book 7. I mean I liked the last movie, Half Blood Prince (my favorite book in the series), but like the whole kiss scene between Ginny and Harry was awkwardly stupid. They should have kept it like in the book, because that scene is just epical. No, epical is not a real word. But it's the only word that comes to mind to describe the relationship that is Ginny Weasley and Harry Potter.
Ginny is such a kickass character in the books, but in the movies she's no where near as fabulous. In the books you can tell how and why Ginny is the perfect match for Harry. Not so much in the movies. I don't blame Bonnie Wright, the actress who portrays her. I blame the screenwriters for not fully developing the character.
At least they got Snape right. Severus Snape is probably one of my favorite characters of all time. I love him. Especially after book six. Even more so after book seven. In fact, I have a keychain of him I got at the lego store. Best $5 ever spent, lemme tell you. It's not just because if I happened to go to Hogwarts (I sooo wish!) I would be in Slytherin and he would have been the head of my house. It's because under that dark cloak of his, he's one of the most complex, emotionally tragic humans ever. Amusing he was real, that is.
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, shame on you for just merely watching the movies and not reading the books. You're missing out, I promise.
I could go on and on and on...
But now I feel as though I'll pass out on my keyboard, and then all you'll see is random letters and numbers saved and posted. Which would be an embarrassing fail on my part.
So, goodnight world. Or, if you live in a different time zone, good morning. Or afternoon. Or ... you know, whatever.

Soooo...
I haven't posted since... the start of my senior year. Wow, so much for "I'm gonna be a blogger who actually blogs!" Thing is, school started up and pretty much took over my life. Suddenly I had to retake the SATs, start the application process to college (which I'm still not totally done with), and oh yeah, try to not fail math.
But hey, it's Christmas break! Which means I can blogblogblog all I want. Which I probably won't do. At least I can rest easy knowing I updated.
So what's changed since September?
Uuhhhh.
OH YEAH! As of two days ago, I got accepted to a college. WOOOOOOO! The first school I've actually, officially, applied to, accepted me. Yaaay. The school? Umass Boston. It's one of my top choices, even though I'd have to forgo the whole living in a dorm experience (which I really want to do). But hey, the pro's of Umass totally outweigh the con's. And I'm thrilled I got accepted. Especially since they have an amazing Anthropology department!
Hmmm, what else. . Honestly? Nothing really exciting to update. My high school lost the Thanksgiving Game to our rival, second year in a row. Boo. At least our cheerleaders kicked ass on the field. I finally got a new digital camera! Yay. I blew an entire paycheck on it (back when I had a job as a seasonal worker at the lovely establishment known as iParty). OH and I got a new phone. Both are my babies.
And, for three glorious months, I had a car. Well, my dad's car. I was only suppose to have it for two weeks, since he went away for work. He let me take it to use for work. That was late September. I just gave it back last week. Simply put, I miss it.
The bus isn't something I really wanted to return to.
Ahh yeah, so that's the brief recap. You probably don't care, and honestly, I don't blame you. Now I'm off to update the playlist on this blog and then go to sleep. When I wake up, it'll be less than 48 hours until Christmas!
