four.

a day about family, right? well. this is mine.

Happy Thanksgiving.
Today was definitely a good one. A lot of cooking mixed with too much apple pie mixed with a Jon & Kate Plus Eight marathon, all stirred together and deliciously served.
I think I will be just fine with turning into my parents one day. Really, though, I think half of that change has already happened.
I hung out with Matt and my sister last night and tonight and realized how much I really did miss his company. And he introduced me to Drew Danbury. This guy is adorable.
Really, this was all just so I could say that I hope everyone had a really great Thanksgiving. I'm going to go fall asleep to some more Joel-and-Alexis Jon & Kate Plus Eight moments.

three.

i love andy samberg. i love justin timberlake. i love paul rudd. and i love sasha fierce beyonce. can it get any better? no.

Right now I am sitting all covered up in my cozy little loft bed with my laptop and Cool Runnings is on TBS. I am feeling pretty okay about this.
I am too busy for my own good lately. I'm counting on Thanksgiving Break to give me some time to refuel before I run on empty for too long.
So, my line test that I was really worried about? I aced it. And I hope that doesn't come across as obnoxious. I'm just really excited about it. Also, really excited about this new scene. It's from this play called Betrayal that won a Nobel Prize for Literature, I'm pretty sure. Basically, it's all written backwards and forwards and backwards again but it's still intensly interesting and real and believeable. I like it a lot.
Apple juice and Nilla Wafers are a perfect late-late-night snack. They basically saved me tonight.
I am entirely too exhausted. I think it's time for me to pass out. Get some well deserved z's.

two: an analysis

"i'm team jacob, antha! not TEAM TAYLOR LAUTNER!"

Okay. In a sea of people who thought the movie was awful, I feel like I should share my thoughts on Twilight. It goes like this:
I liked it. Loved it, actually. I thought it was great.
Really, a lot of what I've heard is that people thought the movie was a little ridiculous and all too cheesy.
But wait. Hold the phone. This movie is based on a novel about a teenage vampire who falls in love with a human who has a werewolf for a best friend and uses lines like, "So the lion fell in love with the lamb." Were you expecting anything but cheesy? I mean, there really was no other way they could portray the book as well as they did without making it kind of far-fetched and ridiculous, because the books are that way. As far as that "spider-monkey" line goes, though, I am completely on the other side. (Really, Hardwike? Spider monkey? Did you really think we would just miss that or something?)
I don't know, I just really liked it, personally. I thought Robert Pattinson and Jackson Rathbone brought a different look to their roles that I hadn't even really thought of before. I actually liked Jasper's pained-face-halfway-constipation look he had going on. I always overlooked the fact that he was still new and in pain in the first book, but that made me kind of feel a little bad for him.
Oh. And the sparkle thing? Personally, I just think if they had cut the wind-chime sparkly noise thing they had going on, it would have made the scene a lot better. Just let the effects do their work and cut the five year old cartoon sounds.
And. And. And! To top all of that off, Edward Cullen and I wear the same sunglasses. It's a sign we're meant to be, right? Of course.
And that is how I feel about all of that.

In other news, I am really excited to be home right now. It's been such a hectic week, I think I need a few minutes to breath.
We're going to the lighting of the Square tomorrow. Things like that are my favorite parts of small town life. I might even see Kylan there?
In a matter of a week, my Dad has read almost the entire Twilight series and is halfway through Breaking Dawn. It is entirely too weird and entirely too exciting all at the same time. Finally someone in my family to talk to about Twilight. And it's my Dad. A little bit hilarious.
Oh. And. I am in love with Luke Wilson. Always has been, always will be.

one.

just me and my zune, katrina highkick, getting really for some midnight massacre.

Dear World, The Day is finally here.
Hide your breakables and prepare for the blast, because once that clock strikes 12:01, a sea of caffiene-driven, vamp-loving, squeeling teenage girls will be set loose. And I am one of them.
But in all seriousness, I am pretty excited.
I went to the Tech Watch for The Christmas Carol last night. It is going to be a fantastic show, I can tell. Even without most of the set or costumes or even sound effects, I was already totally enthralled. It'll be at the WAC from December 5th through the 7th. I'll be teching and you should all go see it.
I cannot wait for Christmas Break. I just want to make gingerbread cookies and have all of my friends and family home and participate in the traditional round of sleepovers.
I just got the sudden urge to make a mass mix cd. Is that weird? Probably.
