In this movie. I know that movies never follow books, but when they are true stories, why screw it up? A vast majority of the population has read Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Especially in 1997 when this movie came out. How did they manage to fit 4 trials lasting 8 years into 1 trial lasting less than half that?

Plus, they changed the names of key people in the book. It's just frustrating. I know I'm a total nerd for analyzing this so hard core, but I loved reading the book and watching the movie now is just making my thoughts about the entire experience fizzle. Especially when I see the people that were in the book basically whoring themselves out to Hollywood.

I also looked at the web site for Jim Williams' house. It's now basically a museum. It has a store in the carriage house. Copies of the book, movie and soundtrack can be bought there. Way to make some money off your dead brother while making a mockery of everything he tried to do when he was alive you whore. I expect nothing less of a graduate from the University of Alabama. Blah.

In happier news...I'm so happy I have Mike <3 Here's a song.

Jason Mraz-I'm Yours

Seems like longer than that since the last time I updated LJ.

First off, I couldn't go back to school. My mom borrowed the shit out of my loan and I had to apply for another one...which didn't get straightened out in time to register at all. So I changed plans. I'm now trying to save money to pay as I go to school. I'm probably going to end up going to bartending school then bartend my way through school. But that's just a thought right now.

I'm still at Starbucks. I've never had this many friends in my life. I love almost everyone there. But I had to get a second job. They hired so many new people at Sbux that no one is getting over 20 hours a week. I barely get 15. So I'm now a server at Johnny Rocket's as well. Come see me in my hat, bow tie and apron if you dare.

I'm actually glad I took a second job. I have still been playing Maple Story...not lately but I was a lot. I met Colton who lived in Tennessee. I drove there to see him and after I got back things went downhill fast. We're not together any more and he blames that on me still being attached to Jacob. He got pissed at me for not selling the guitar, so I sold it. We're still not together but its okay. The second job keeps my mind off it and I'm glad.

I quit playing MS as much and last night someone hacked my character and now I don't have it any more. So I started a new one, but it will stay low level because I'm just not home any more. Two jobs keep you busy.

Chris and I are friends again <3 I dunno what happened to take us away from each other but I love you and I'm glad we're back. I think thats why I'm back to updating LJ.

I've missed a lot. So anyone that wants to fill me in, I'd be grateful. I've missed my friends. I'm here if you want me to be =)

Even though I know no one can make it, everyone is invited to my confirmation this Saturday night at St. Peter's. I wanted to invite the most important people in my life. Lots of you are here. So, you're invited. Hopefully you'll be there in spirit.

Haven't posted in a while I guess. I was trying to avoid the obligatory "it's been a year since Jacob died" post that I know people were -dreading-. I know it gets old, but I'm still not completely over it, so whatever.

I'm not doing well in Psychology and Biology. It depresses me. I am trying to study harder so that I can get into a four year college. I'm actually hoping to get into Notre Dame, Saint Mary's or Holy Cross up north. I want to be far away from the bullshit that surrounds this state. Start a new life, away from my mother and her drama. Some people just like conflict in their lives I guess. I know I am not one of them.

I tried to go back and read entries I've missed, I think I'm caught up but if anyone wants me to see something, point me to it. I'm lazy, who cares.

I interviewed at Starbucks yesterday because they have better benefits. And are nicer. I hope Keith chokes. Really.

Went to see Running With Scissors at the dollar movies with Tyler 2 weeks ago tonight. He invited me to have dinner with him and Kate one night. Kate being his girlfriend. So, last Thursday I went. It was nice. After I got home, he texted me. "Have fun? Think I should marry her?" So, yeah. Yeah.

I've been thinking about Jacob a lot lately. I don't know if it's the time of year or what. Maybe its the fact that after a year, he's still the first person I think of when something good or bad happens. He is the one I used to tell everything to, and now I don't -want- to tell anyone everything. I don't want to open up again and tell someone how I feel about this and that. And even though I'm incredibly lonely, I don't want to have a relationship or a possible closeness like Jacob and I once had, because I can't trust it.

Sorry about the emoness.

I was feeling really down today when I received two pieces of mail from people on my FL. Christmas cards from my sky_dark and fireun! Thanks for making my day guys!

I bought stamps today and am mailing off my cards tomorrow. I sent two packages today while buying stamps. One to Mike and another to shuki_ai. Steph...it's that copy of the Celtic Christmas CD I told you I was sending with your card.

I'm off all weekend but I'll be studying like a mad person. Four finals. One Saturday and three Monday. Fun stuff.

Love you guys!

To all of you. Last call for Christmas cards. Get your ticket punched and get on the train,k?

Give me one reason I'm going to Hell. Then post this in your journal so I can give you one!

A meme transferred over from MySpace.

So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...

I know you won't read this until a day after, but I just got home! I have been working all day and some friends dropped by work and I ended up staying until late talking. I'm sorry I didn't get home in time to tell you! Happy 18th Birthday my perfect LJ husband! ilu:*

Why does every fucking company in the US outsource their fucking customer service to people I can't fucking understand on the fucking telephone?!?!? Half the time they don't even fucking understand me!!!! What!the!fuck?!?!?


And that is all.

I just talked to my dad this morning. I called him to ask if my grandmother was going to have Thanksgiving this year. They only do it every other year and I can't remember if she did last year or not.

But thats not the point. My dad is going to Mexico later this week to make my little brother an American citizen. He has been here since he was one month old and now he is nine. My step mother adopted him before she even started dating my dad. Its just weird to me all the things he will go through for a child that is not his. I realize that my dad is the only father he has ever known, but it just kills me. My dad was never like this with my sister and I. He just kind of gave up on us when my mom got remarried. I still talk to him, but if I didn't call him, I'd never see or talk to him. I dunno. Its just a shame.

I've been feeling weird lately. I don't know what thats all about. Maybe its the "omg I'm going to be 25" thing I've been dreading. *shrug*

Nothing else to see here. Just emoing bullshit.

Let's see...Friday night I went with Rachel to look for a Halloween/wedding costume. She is going to be in a wedding that has an "evil garden" theme. A vampire bumble bee is what she has chosen to be. Nice, eh?

Saturday morning I went to English class. We finally got our first papers back. I am apparently the only one who made an A. Yay me. Why am I not more enthusiastic about it? Because my dad was right. I didn't put enough real emotion in it and it looks like I wrote it as a third person watching what was going on, not like I lived it. I took myself out of it and it finally hit me and kind of depressed me. Saturday night I went to work, where I found out my favorite person to work with is leaving. But his girlfriend still works there so he will come visit. I also kind of have a crush on one of the regulars that comes in every single night. I don't think I'll act on it though, because thats just not me.

After closing last night, I had to be at work at nine this morning. I worked with Tyler and he seems really nice. It was the first time I worked with him for more than an hour. I got off at five and I'm sitting here wondering why the weekend went by so damn fast. I have an essay due Saturday and I've picked out a funky topic so I'm going to change it, but I don't know what to change it to. All I know is we are not workshopping this one so I have to get on the ball. I also have a skills test next Saturday. Ooooh and Wednesday I have my Orientation final. It shouldn't be too bad.

DDR is kicking my fat ass. And thats the end of that.

I am so bored I can't describe it.

I am sitting in the school library trying to waste time until my last class of the day which doesn't start for another hour. I woke up late today because someone introduced me to another anime and I got addicted right away. *sigh* I watched 4 episodes of it and since it is uploaded on youtube, I'm going to watch some more because there's not a soul to talk to and nothing else to do.


http://youtube.com/watch?v=zORGyJdU12s Here's the first part of episode one. Watch with me XD

First off, I'm craving a Pepsi. It makes me think of that Limp Bizkit song that says, "All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi." So in honor of that, here is a picture of just that.

( behind the cut lies the truth )

So, I was sitting in math class, which was only about 30 minutes long today, and my characters started yelling inside my head. Right in the middle of the instructor doing examples, I started writing. I feel psycho. And they won't stop. Get them out!! Out with you!

I'm now obsessed with checking the MSA forum. And I should go look in the chat now since I have almost 2 hours until my next class.

Ta-ta for now!

What is this #4?

Alright. inugrlrayn made me think of Christmas. I do this every year and I have most of your addresses, except for those who are new and those who have moved *coughsky_darkcough*.

So...if you want a Christmas card, post you address here. All comments are screened. Of course you know this is not the only time I'll ask, but I'm getting an early start this year so I can space out my card and stamp purchases.

I really don't know how to feel right now. I've been going to school and working. I've been paying for my gas, insurance and things I need through the week. I've been making good grades. Yet, since I went out of town and missed 2 classes while I was at AWA, I get talked about behind my back by my family. It just made it worse that when I called to tell them I was staying over another night and going to class from there the next day that they really doubted me. How can I be my best when all they ever do is expect the worst from me? I'm just really frustrated with this. My sister told me about it, so I can't confront them, but I really wish they would mind their own business and not feel the need to get into mine. Isn't it enough that I don't feel comfortable here anyway?

Really, I've been watching this all afternoon instead of using the time to do homework XD

I left work early last night because I was vomiting once every 5 minutes. When I got home I felt a whole lot better. Yay for feeling better, sucks losing money.

I wrote some of a story I am trying to write today. I have discovered that my stories are very dialogue heavy. I need to be more descriptive about the place around the people instead of totally focusing on what they have to say. I thought for almost a week before I started writing, and now I finally get what sky_dark told me about the characters in her head. The characters are screaming for their part of the story to be written and I can't get what they have to say out quick enough. They'll have to wait behind the school work for right now.

Speaking of school work, I lost my English syllabus :/ He tells us every class what is due the next class, but I really want to be prepared for every clas, like I have been. So I emailed the instructor to see if he would email me another copy/ I really hope he understands.

I feel like I say the same thing in every lj entry. But that is what is going on in my life right now, school and work. I looked at the manga at work yesterday and it totally sucks that I am broke. I hope people understand the the Christmas presents are going to be a lot smaller this year. We'll see.

I think that is all I have for now. Don't forget October 3rd! I almost did, but I am wearing my red FMA tshirt! Hope all is well with everyone!
