Another Fun Day At School

So like I said before school has seemed so productive lately, this is how my day at school went yesterday. First period we played Cranium, second period I took a one hour nap which is my fault but I didn't feel good. Third period we did a relaxation meditating session and it was so nice, and fourth period we played minute to win it. Wow other then my nap in second period, which was seminary the day was not school if you ask me, I could have done all of those things at home. Anyways sometimes I just wonder if teachers get sick of teaching or something. Oh well, I guess the games were all reviews for tests so its OK. I am not really complaining since It was a rather stress free and enjoyable day. Speaking of stress I have to go to the dentist today and get my first cavity filled, ugh I really don't want to do it, because I don't really want to feel pain. Hopefully its not too bad.

New Blog

Hey everyone! I decided to make this blog more about me and whats going on in my life. But I still like posting movie reviews, so I have another blog that is just movie reviews, so if you want to see what I would rate a movie go and check it out. You can get to it by clicking on my profile and it is on my blogs. Or you can just put in the URL which is emilysmoviereviewblog.blogspot.com.

School....

I am in school right now, and yes I am blogging, what a productive day. First period we did nothing we just sat around and talked to eachother, people read books, they slept, and they listened to music. So pointless, I know. Now I am sitting in second period blogging and cleaning out my email. Hopefully the next two periods will be productive, because this is starting to be a really big waste of time. Anyways, now that I vented a little about how school is going these days, I am so happy because I got my rain. :) This morning when I went to my car so I could go to school, I had to scrape my windows!! Isn't it spring yet. Gosh this weather is crazy.

The End Of The Year

It is the end of my senior year and I am so excited to graduate. I am so tired of school and all of the work that comes with it, well all of the busy work which is basically most of high school assignments. Some have a point but lately I have felt like I have had to do pointless assignments. I know there is a lot of work to be done in college, but I also know that college is completely different then high school and I am completely done with high school. I will miss the fun time with my friends though. I have had so much fun this year. Going out to eat with friends, going to the movies, writing on each other's car windows, our Costco trips, and so much more. I am going to be so sad to have to part with my friends in the fall when we all go our separate ways. Right now I am trying to have as much fun as I can. Last week was spring break and since I recently quit my job I didn't have to work so it was great being able to be out with friends every night. We had a lot of fun, but now it is back to reality, I am back in school and I start my new job this week, probably tomorrow. But it was very happy to wake up this morning and be able to hear the birds chirping and to look out and see blue skies. I was beginning to get so sick of all the snow we were getting. Apparently it is suppose to snow or rain today, if it does one, it had better rain, I love rain. :) If it rained at least three times a week, I would be very happy. I know that a lot of people get seasonal depression and when it rains most people become very grumpy because it is a gloomy day, not for me, I jump for joy and I am happy. :) Anyways, I am just rambling on now. So when something absolutely exciting happens in my life I will post again. Until then TTFN!

Time Flies

Cali trying to be like her brother.. or a pirate...who knows? :)
Sara and Cali.

Wow its crazy how time flies, when I first started helping with the twins they were about three or four months old, now they are three!! I can't believe it. I am sad to say that soon I will be going to college and I probably won't see them as much. I won't be watching them because I will be moved out. I am going to miss it. They are so funny, the other day they were playing pirate and Cali was captain, in the top picture she is holding her brother's toy gun, I think that she is either trying to be like her brother or she is still just playing pirate, but I had to put it on here because her face is just so funny. :) Even though they fight a lot, they also get along to and for three year olds, I think they are very close, as seen in the bottom picture. I love them, they are my favorite three year olds. :)

Movie Review

OK so I saw the movie Alice In Wonderland and like I said before I am going to give you guys a review, sorry it is not that night like I said I would. I thought the movie was great. It was very well done, but I do agree with the the movie critics when they say that it was not Tim Burton's best. I liked the movie, but there are other movies that he has done that I like better. Besides that, I loved the movie and I don't agree with the movie critics when they give it a D or two stars. If I were to rate it I would give it an A- and four and a half stars, or just four. It definitely wasn't a five star movie, like Avatar or something (I have not seen Avatar but thats what I have heard.) but it was definitely good and one of my favorites, special affects were pretty good. I would recommend it and when it comes out I will be at the store buying it. :) For those of you who have not seen it, go see it and if you can, see it in 3D because that was pretty cool. I also realized there are a lot of well known actors in that movie who all did a very good job. Alan Rickman (Professor Snape in Harry Potter) was the voice of the caterpiller. Anne Hathaway played the white queen. Helena Bohnam Carter (Belatrix also from Harry Potter) played the Red Queen or the queen of hearts. Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. Oh and another Harry Potter character played a minor role, I am not sure her name but she played the Half giant Head Mistress for the all girls school that came to Hogwarts in the fourth one. :) so anyways just some familiar faces.

Alice In Wonderland...

I got tickets to the movie, I can't wait. I am seeing it in 3D on friday. So I will probably be posting that night with a movie review. Comment and let me know what you guys who are going to see it think. :)

Wow...

I just want to take a minute to reflect on my life a little bit. In the past year I have come across two events that were near death experiences, I guess you could say. The first one was the bus accident about four months ago. The most recent one was on Thursday, I was at work when we all of a sudden heard the loudest bang I have ever heard. The ground shook so hard. When it stopped we all immediately looked out the window to see that a house right next to us blew up! It was crazy people were running around and it was just like the movies. We called the cops and they came and evacuated us. We took our cars and drove a little ways from the building. They wouldn't let us back in because there was a gas leak, and who knew if our work would blow too. It was a long night. Now looking back on the bus crash none of the students died and I wasn't on that bus, but it is very possible that it could have been my bus and I could have died. When the house exploded I could have been out there and been in the explosion and all. I just want to say I am grateful that I still have time on this earth. There is a lot that I need to fix before I return to my Heavenly Father. You never know what could happen, so now I think that I am going to start reading my scriptures more, praying more, and trying to get more out of Sunday School and Seminary lessons. You just never know when your time could be.

The Olympics

OK, so I watched the men's figure skating last night, the long program going for the medals. It was just so frustrating to me, as weird as this may be to some people, I really like Johnny Weir. Like he said in an interview he is an Olympic athlete and is really good, but people forget about that because of his personality. OK we all know he is gay but that does not have anything to do with his skating so looking past all of that I thought he did really well, so did he. He landed all of his jumps very well but there was one time where he stumbled a little but he did not fall and he was able to recover quickly like it never happened. After his performance he rejoiced in happiness, it was the best he has done. When he sat down to see his scores I was sure he would win a medal, at least a bronze. When his scores came onto the screen, it was so frustrating he was placed in fifth and the Russian skater, Evgeni Plushenko still had to go and he was in first as of the short program, so that bumped Johnny Weir down to sixth!! I think that Johnny should have gotten way more credit then what he was given, the commentators also thought the same. But, anyways, there is nothing I can do about it. The results ended up being:
1. Evan Lysacek (American)
257.67
2. Evgeni Plushenko (Russian)
256.36
3. Daisuke Takahashi (Japanese)
247.23

So at least an American won the gold. Anyways despite the disappointment it turned out to be a really good program last night. I can't wait to see the women's figure skating next week. :)

New Moon :P

OK so I finally gave in and I went to see New Moon last night and can I just say annoying. It should be put under the genre of comedy. Some things were just so cheesy and I was the only one laughing in the theatre. Everyone else that was there is probably so mesmerized by the story that they didn't find it funny or cheesy at all. Like I said before, Bella is so lustful and attached to Edward that when he leaves she overreacts and she goes just a little bit too far. I don't think losing a high school boyfriend is the end of the world, you don't need to sit and moap in a chair for four months. The reason I even went to the movie is because a bunch of my friends invited me and I decided it would be fun to analyze the psychology in the movie. When Edward leaves Bella she goes through manic depression. The manic phase may last from days to months and can include the following symptoms:
Agitation or irritation
Lack of self-control
Racing thoughts

Reckless behavior

In the movie you see Bella doing all of these things, she seems irritated by things a lot and she kind of has no self control, she just does things to try to get him back into her life, she has racing thoughts in which she is always reminded of what Edward said to her, "It will be like it never existed." She tends to be reckless too, he told her not to be reckless so she does, she jumps off cliffs and rides motorcycles and things like that. Another Psychology thing I noticed in the movie was that she Hallucinated, she would often times hallucinate Edward being there. She basically went crazy when he left. Yeah, it is sad what he did to her, but is it that extreme? To Bella it was, because she was so caught up in her sparkling vampire that when he left it was the end of the world to her. I think its sad, this is why we don't seriously steady date in high school, high school girls are so attached, some guy comes along and pays attention to us and we as girls are easily flattered, who cares if he is nice or if he is a jerk, he's cute and he pays attention to me so why not date him, they think they know what love is, but they don't. The more I analyzed the more I thought, well maybe Edward does know what love is, one of the biggest signs of love is sacrifice, it someone is willing to sacrifice for someone then usually they do love them. Edward thinks that Bella is dead so he makes a trip to Italy where he actually can die and he begs to be killed. Now this is a book and maybe they do know love, I may sound like I am contradicting myself, but I'm not because what I meant is in real life, usually high school students don't know. In real life too, girls are so caught up into Bella and Edward's story that they are searching for that type of relationship and like I said before their perfect Edward who just isn't out there. Oh boy... I guess I have gone on long enough, and once again this post is not meant to offend anyone in anyway, its just me analyzing the movie.

The Lovely Bones

OK so we saw the movie and it was really good, it was different but good. The trailer kind of makes it look like a scary movie, but it isn't. It's pretty much about this girl and her family and how her life is going just great and then she is killed by a neighbor. I won't ruin the movie for anyone but basically when she dies she is stuck in the in between, I guess kind of like limbo. She kind of helps her family along the way of figuring out her murder. Its a really good movie that I would definitely recommend. It is a book and now that I have seen the movie I plan on reading the book, but anyways when something exciting in my life happens I will post then. :)

Life...

So my life is pretty much boring which is why I have posted so many random things. Pretty much all I do is color guard, school, homework, and work. This week is going to be a very long week so I probably won't post for a while, but tomorrow I have a free day so my friend and
I are going to the movies. We are going to go see The Lovely Bones. I have only seen the trailers so all I got from those was that it is about this girl who was murdered and her father is determined to find out who did it. The ghost of the girl visits her father to help him along the way. It sounds like my type of movie so I am really excited. So, that's what I am doing right now. Since my life is so exciting. :) Oh, and I have decided that I hate senior year, but yet I love it, I have been hit with senioritis really bad, so I never do my homework anymore, I am just done with school.... but yet i like senior year because it is just fun my friends know we won's see each other much after high school so we try to have a lot of fun now. But anyways I am in class right now, so I should probably get going.

Why Does it Have to be Everywhere?

Oh my gosh, I could die. OK so Leslie and I were walking down the halls at the high school when we looked over at one of the glass cases that they decorate with announcements and things, what they had done was that they took the lifesize cardboard statues of Edward , Jacob, and Bella from twilight. They put these things in the glass case with red lights draped around them and a big sign that read "AF's newest interns" oh my gosh we are in high school for heaven sakes, that is something that would be understandable at a junior high, or even the elementary school. It really frustrated me when I saw girls standing in front of the glass case posing and waiting for there friends to take pictures of them with three of the "most important people in the world"... gag me please. What is the point in the glass case anyway, nothing i am sure, its just sad. Anyways, I just had to complain a little about twilight again..sorry.

What Is Wrong.....?

So I was driving today with some friends and we came across this stop sign. Someone had taken sticker lettering and placed Obama under the word stop. I know that our president probably has not made the best decisions and I know that a lot of America has a hard time supporting him, but do we really need to go as far as disrespect? You know, nobody is perfect, and in Obama's mind the decisions he has made for our country may have, at the time sounded like a great idea. Everybody makes mistakes. I know it is hard to take mistakes from our nation wide leader, but he is in fact our leader and it is important that we should respect him. Not all of his ideas are stupid. Now, even I have complained about him too, I mean what the heck is he thinking as far as his health care plan goes? But I still think that it is rude to put his name on a stop sign like that, even though I know the first amendment clearly states we have our freedom of speech but I feel very strongly that we should have at least a little respect for our leaders, and that's all I have to say on the matter.

Alice In Wonderland

OK so I was just searching on youtube for a video my friends made when I came across the trailer for the new Alice In Wonderland movie made by Tim Burton. I just love his films they are so interesting, some are dark and mysterious and some are very colorful and different. I am so excited for this movie too, especially since Johnny Depp is playing the role as the Mad Hatter. I watched the trailer and I just had chills I am so excited, it looks awesome, call me a nerd I know but I definitely want to go see this movie opening day if I can. That is really all I have to say except that I am so so excited!!! I can't wait!!! :) By the way, it comes out in theaters March 5, 2010. There are a lot of trailers out right now but if you want to see my favorite one, the one I am talking about, here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_Jz9DfOf-4

Twilight......

OK, so I know this post may upset any Twilight fans so if you are big on Twilight you may not want to read. So apparently I have come out of the Twilight closet. Which means that I use to like Twilight, but now I have suddenly come out and decided I absolutely despise that book. I hate it. I hate the whole story. I just need to vent about my feelings on the whole thing. Twilight is a story with no real plot and there is absolutley no depth to the characters. The whole thing is basically about lust and relationships. It drives me nuts at the way Bella lusts toward Edward and him towards her. My brother who is in fifth grade said that girls his age and some younger are reading it. What does Twilight say to them, it lies to them as to what relationships really are like. What I mean by that is that Edward gets up and leaves Bella for a period of time, kids probably see that as a normal, because then he comes back and its almost like it never happened. Also apparently as a junior in high school we know what love is. Bella is 17 and she is deeply "in love" with Edward. She lusts after him and tells him that she couldn't live without him and he must be with her at all times, and yaddi yaddi da, all of that mushy stuff. She is in High School for heavens sake. Also, Bella really only focuses on Edwards appearence, she always talks about how gorgeous he is so now she is physically drawn to him. What ever happened to personality, a sense of humor, and things like that. Does that not exist in relationships now? Now girls are looking for their perfect Edward, well I have news for them, he is not out there, and people can look all they want but they are not going to find him. He is an unrealistic character, guys are just not like that, sorry, real men don't sparkle. Anyways, sorry if that was a little harsh, but I just needed to get that out of my system. If anyone reading this likes Twilight, good for you, you keep on liking it. I am just stating my opinion and saying I don't like it.

My life right now

OK, so its been a while since I last posted. My goal for this year is to at least do it every month, we will see how that goes. :) So, I am going to update you on my life so far, recently, back in October I was with the marching band when one of our buses crashed and flipped over, ejecting our beloved staff member from the bus, she died on the scene. It was very hard to have to sit there on the other buses not knowing what was going on outside, all we could see for maybe two hours was the bus on the ground, students getting out, and police and ambulance sirens. It was a really hard thing for the band to have to deal with in the middle of our season. The amazing thing was that our staff member died a hero, she died saving the students on that bus, more people definitely should have died, we truly witnessed a miracle. She truly will be missed. In the end we dedicated the show to her and everytime we performed that show it was for her. After that event happened our band director brought a trauma counselor in and he taught us to look at this tragedy as an experience, he taught us to believe in ourselves and to believe that we can do anything, it was just an amazing experience. After all of this nothing else really happened in my life, but I am a senior in high school and I am getting ready to go to college in the fall. Its crazy to think that it is so soon. As of right now I am just trying to survive high school even though I am so done with it. I can't wait to move on with my life and start college. As of right now I really want to go into Psychology and become a Psychologist, if I do that I really wan to get a PhD and be a Psychologist for people with multiple personality disorders, schitzos (I think I spelled that right), and stuff like that. But I really won't decide completely until I start school and decide that's what I really want to do. Anyways, I am really excited, but right now I am in class, shh. :) So I have to go.
