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
