Mill City
Oh but some good news...drove 25 miles on the freeway yesterday, 4 lanes! Yay! :)

Make it stop!
Gah...my uncle kenny is getting married in a couple of weeks, and its a pain in the rear. Want to know why? (Sure you do) Because my mom keeps dragging me off to go shopping for a suitable dress and agggggggh. I...hate...shopping. And I hate those dresses! A lot of them once you get them on you cant get them off! I think it's a conspiracy. And we're going again tomorrow.

And #3 was my favourite book! :(
Hmm where to begin? (Just got back from seeing the third harry potter.) That movie was something else. And not in a good way, most certainly. Well since it's easy for me I'll whip out my friend, the pros and cons list.

Pros:
-Monster Book: Sooo great. My mom said it reminded her of Princess. Awwww.
-The hypogriff: that was one of the cutest/coolest things ever, any scene with buckbeak was fine by me (well almost, but we'll get to that in a sec.)
-The scenery: yea sure, everyone was mad they moved Hogwarts blah blah, but since the old set burned down there's not much they could do, and I think I like this one a lot better anyhow. Sort of New Zealandish...hey like another set of movies...which are superior..;)
-Emma Thompson: yea she's awesome anyways(!) but she did an especially good job as that psycho teacher; you could tell she loved that role. And the hair! Two thumbs up for that.

Cons (this list is longer)
-New Dumbledore: I know Richard Harris died but couldn't they find someone who wasn't made out of a plank of cedar? Thank you.
-No school dress code: I have NO idea what was going on here. That's all I'm saying.
-Dementors: Hmm, not very impressive for something so vile. And how come they had to show up in every scene?
-Love triangle?: Hermione seems suddenly to want to hold hands/hug a lot...cough cough.

And finally...
PACING!!!!: This movie was very slow for about 45 minutes and then boof! it took off with werewolves and rats and teachers and sirius and the whomping willow and what the heck was going on? I read the book even but sheesh, I was confused.

All in all...two, or perhaps two and half, stars out of five. I'd rather go see stepford wives (again).

So wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully pretty!
Cassie and I actually agreed on some music today, I think I had to check my pulse or something (seeing as I'm a lifeguard now...if I found no pulse I would have had to commence cpr) <---blatant bragging right there. Anyways this deserves but beer bottle shaking action...

We move like cagey tigers
We couldn't get closer than this
The way we walk the way we talk
The way we stalk the way we kiss
We slip through the streets while everyone sleeps
Getting bigger and sleeker and wider and brighter
We bite and scratch and scream all night
Let's go and throw all the songs we know

She had a cool invisible dog that she called Paul
I really like transmissions...I think it is the best lips album. A lot of the songs are sad and it's hard to tell why, I like that.

Turn it on
I finally had something to eat and tonight is pomp and circumstance over and over and over...but like my good friend Alyx mentioned, my sexy dress may attract a little attention, hopefully, from that wonderful boy. Even if it doesn't, I like that dress. Just like I hate that picture of me in the yearbook and my sick face, gross! Why did I have to go and be a dork and say something so stupid? Oh well lol, when I am old and senile I will look back on it and wish I had that sick face again because my face will look even worse then. Or maybe I will be a cute lil old lady who bakes cookies, it's hard to say.

Wow Nikki makes really loud eating noises...
Let's see, been a long time since I've been on here. Again. Pouring. Rain. Gah! But this time with added hail pieces big enough to give you a concussion, whoo HOO! I want one of those please. Well actually, no *blushes* because I've just gotten over being sick, don't want to be injured as well. Today was an...interesting day. Woke up early, played some online games and then communed with my beautiful new little betta boy, Dante! (I decided Andante was kind of a dumb name so now he's the literary fellow.) Did some dishes...read some Les Miserables...looked up Napoleon and argued with Cassie. Yep. Then went to Howard's and watched some great old hyper spaztic war cartoons! Besides the gun references, racist references and gun references, they were some pretty wholesome viewing. Yep. Yep. Yep. Actually they were much better than the sugar coated vomit inducing cartoons/kids shows of today are (although I must admit I do like some cartoons, not saying which however :) Anyways, that about wraps things up for lately, three day weekend coming up! yipee!

I look at all the Sexually-Frustrated people..
I got all emo in spite of myself because nobody would tell me anything, so I sat in the pouring rain and cried because Eleanor Rigby couldn't get laid. Actually, I did listen to that song outside when it was raining but not IN the rain because that's just foolishness. I decided what the song is really about, not lonely people but people who are *big emphasis here* Sexually Frustrated. I think the Beatles really meant to imply that Eleanor remained a virgin her entire life (hence the nobody at her funeral, sheesh, everyone knows that the only people who go to funerals are old flabby lovers) and that Father McKenzie commited countless acts of pederasty, (because masturbation is, after all, a sin.)

Side note on this one, I love this song. Yay.

Two most important things in life...
Gah I have all this unrequited love and busybodishness, no one will tell me anything or hit on me! Lol...*beats something up*

Van Helsing...
...is something else. Oh bless me, that movie is SO FUNNY. I don't even know if it was supposed to be, I mean there were some times it was obvious it was supposed to but in other places...let me put it this way: if it was supposed to be a pure thriller/action movie, it failed miserably, but if it was supposed to be a comedy/parody of monster movies, I bow down to it! I get the feeling it may be some sort of cult classic in the years to come, when people see how funny it is. It's like it tried to be awful just to show how corny most of these movies really are. To organize my thoughts I'll make a list of its pros and cons, k?

Pros
-It has the cute lil' faramir guy in it! (David Wenham)
-Exceptionally hilarious, especially at the 'serious' (??) places - examples: when Anna dies and the wolfguy howls, SO FUNNY and cheesy, and then these 8 horses harnessed to a buggy jump a canyon. hehe
-Lots of actually funny one-liners, which is amazing because I hate one liners
-The scene where Van Helsing as a werewolf fighting dracula is the one monster scene I actually liked, the werewolf was really cute!
-They had some interesting ideas, like making Frankenstein be a nice guy, I liked that

Cons (Where do I begin...?)
-TERRIBLE use of CGI, I hate overuse of CGI anyway...anyways it made things rather cheesy and unbelievable
-Grotesque pacing, at times I wanted to cover my eyes because too many things were going on and they zoomed in and out randomly
-Entirely too long. It ran about 2 hours and 15 minutes but I felt like I was in there all afternoon
-Bad acting. Not sure if they did this on purpose, but whether they did or not it made it funnier so maybe it's a good thing.

All In all, I'd have to say I really like this movie! It was awful, but it was unlike anything else I've ever seen, and I quite enjoyed laughing myself silly.

That's how it works
I wonder how much insight a person really has in them? You can talk about what you know, discuss what you don't know, dream about the things you wished you knew but you can't, still can't draw a cat worth a damn can you? And people can have qualities like goodness and integrity but annoyingness isn't included among them, in fact annoyingness isn't even a true word. Because no one is truly annoying because everyone really is. And if my cat for one moment would stop asking me to feed him, or let him go outside, maybe when he came around asking simply for me to pet him I would be more obliging. That's how it is with everyone in the end.

Understandibly edible
"I noticed you seem a little stressed lately, can I help?" HA. HA. HA. NO.

I don't care that I'm not allowed to go walking
By pure force of habit, if you begin saying "I don't care" to the things that hurt you most all the time, people may begin to see through it. A promenade through heaven is all I asked. Denied.

MEh
By the way, I'm not complaining about my life, I'm just sort of a boring person. I get used to it.

Famousimo
Yea so my entries lately have been extremely boring, let's take a break and I'll just show you why I never update/have long entries. This one's called:

A Day in Hilary's Life
Thinks about: Neopets, Ollie, Swimming, Homework, Miscellaneous items of no interest
Does: Homework, Swimming, Bassoon, a little drawing, a little writing, lots of thinking/staring into space, listening to music, too much computer...

Yea so as you can see from these ultimately exciting examples, my life is a powder keg of action. Probably the two most invigorating things I have in my life are my swimming (up to 17 lengths) and a comic strip I'm drawing called Non-Coplaner. Wow. Hey look at that invisible line of fans outside my door! They all want my autograph.

I luff my sister
Marshmello Betta: yea, you really dont have much pity for someone who has more than enough for themselves!

PrfmCassie: that sounds like a good quote!

Happy Endings
Oh man I just wrote the best ending to a story (a thinly veiled story of how me 'n' Ollie should be) but still, it'd be a fun story. I feel too lazy to write a beginning or a middle for it but I enjoy the ending of it bwaha.

Sadness
I seem to have forgotten how to entertain myself without the aid of the internet.

Gah!!!!!!
I freakin hate neopets!!!

Emaline
Don't let me walk away from Emaline
For stupid reasons
Now I'm talking about money
When money talks
I hate to listen
But lately it's been screaming in my ear

That's so stuck in my head anymore.
