i really wanna go see Romeo & Juliet this weekend at my high school, because it's in the new auditorium... but i have no way to get home. this makes me sad.

across the universe.

2007-10-19T21:19:38Z

i saw across the universe last night with michael. it was amazing.

i love the music.

i deciphered that if you see it while you're high then it will probably be one of the best highs of your life.

:)

i also redid my journal. i didn't do the header. i credited the lovely maker of it in my userinfo. her username slips my mind right now, but i like the header a lot.

I saw Breakfast at Tiffany's for the first time last night. I liked it a lot. :) It made me happy.

I also changed my mind on what I'm going to minor in the other day. Last week, really. I think I'm going to minor in Political Science. Heck, maybe even double major if I can handle it. I really like my political science class this semester and I have a feeling that it's not going to change.

Happiness!

I am so incredibly happy with my life right now. I have no idea why but everything makes me happy. Although I am incredibly testy when I want to be, too. I got pissed at my sister earlier for swallowing obnoxiously loud. I dunno.

Tonight, Amanda and I went to Target and then we went to my grandparents' house. Around 8:30 Amanda took me over to Michael's house and I gave Michael his scrapbook. I finally finished it this afternoon! I felt really accomplished. He liked it a lot. :) Then we watched Stargate (or most of it, we still need to finish it).

I slightly want to go back to High Point, but I am so incredibly happy with being at home and spending time with him that I don't want to go back! i fear that depression will come back after I go back to school but I hope not.

The other day I went to Target and the mall and spent some of my gift cards. I got a cardigan and two CDs at Target (The Decemberists' "The Crane Wife" and Imogen Heap's "Speak for Yourself"), and then we went to the mall and I got a new pair of jeans and two new shirts at American Eagle. I really like clothes. :) I really like my new CDs. Emery's really good too.

Anyway, I think I might go play FFXII. Balthier rocks my socks. I don't know if I like Vaan or not. He's a bit whiny. Kinda reminds me of Tidus in that respect, but I like the game!

GAHHH HAPPY.

sorry :)

so, christmas cards are going out after christmas. i was really busy this week trying to make a scrapbook for someone's christmas present and i haven't had time to write any up except one. so expect after-christmas cards, those who commented :D

GAR!

I have a 3.660 GPA.

Normally, I'd be happy with this. BUT.

I got As in ALL OF MY CLASSES EXCEPT FOR CALCULUS! It makes me SO ANGRY! I was hoping for at least a B in Calc.. but nooo.. I got a C+. What the heck is a C+ anyway? It's just a glorified C because the + doesn't give you extra points or anything like that. Garrrrr.

I've been scrapbooking for a while this afternoon. It's quite fun. I think it's become my new hobby. Of course, this is for a present, so anyway... ;)

Does anyone want a Christmas card? I got really cute ones on Saturday. If so, just comment with your name and address. Comments will be screened!

Happy Fun Times at HPU!

So I was supposed to go to Chapel Hill last night. My sister backed out of going because she didn't want to be my chauffeur and my parents were jerks and didn't want her driving anyway. Well it's reasonable because her friends were being jerks and decided "hey let's get drunk and go to the basketball game." So she didn't want to go anymore. But I was very sad and I had to get my mind off of it so I went over to Courtney's. (It didn't really help get my mind off of it that much because I still miss Michael more than anything. :( But I get to see him within a week. Sigh. I miss him.)

But anyway, Last night, ABCD...K...P (Alex/Ben, me, Courtney, Devon (is a girl, for those of you back at home), Keith, and Paul) watched LOST in Courtney's room. First of all, Courtney, Devon and I are making BCD shirts because we are cool and our shirts are amazingly hot. They're carolina blue, with BCD on the front with a formata over the letters and an eighth note beneath them. On the back, it has our last names, our birthdates (mine is 30) and beneath the number it has "powellin' it!" because we're just cool like that.

ANYWAY. So we watched three episodes on disc 3 and it about 1:20--too late to start another episode and have the boys out by curfew. (Keith left around 12:30/12:45ish) So then we left Courtney's because she was tired and then Paul was like, "Let's watch another episode!" Cause there are four episodes per disc and we wanted to finish it.. but.. we thought, "Hey, let's go to top floor Slane, there's a tv up there, let's go grab Dustin's dvd player and head up there." So we got a DVD player and headed up to third floor Slane (Student Life). Ben and I got wary of getting caught watching LOST in Student Life so we decided to head out of there. But we didn't want to go to bed so Paul, Ben, Devon and I were like, "Let's go to Carolina Diner!" But then we decided that wouldn't be fun. So we thought about if there was anything open for 24 hours in High Point and drew a blank.

Ben suddenly suggested, "Hey, the Wal-Mart in Winston is 24 hours..."

Paul goes, "Screw it, let's get in my car and go to Winston, I'm not tired!"

So we got in Paul's car and we headed to Winston-Salem at 2:00 in the morning to go to Wal-Mart. Devon and I ended up playing Hide and Seek from the boys and then we finally left Wal-Mart around 3:40ish and got back here around 4:10. Then we went to bed.

It was happy fun times, according to Devon and I. Yay.

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love:

You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?
Your views on education

You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.
The right job for you:

You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.
How do you view success:

You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.
What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.
Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

So I basically almost squealed like a happy child when Sawyer kissed Kate.

And I knew that Sun and Jae had done the bad thing to make her pregnant. It was pretty much noticeable last season.

It almost made me sad when Jack was all, "OMGTV."

But there's something about this season that just doesn't seem LOST-ish. Maybe it's because I'm actually watching it and there are commercials this time instead of watching it without the commercials. Or maybe it's because there are actually people and it's not as on-edge all the time as it was the last two seasons. But it's still pretty entertaining.
