i am so over school, i cannot wait till summer comes!!!
i'm going to the library in a few minutes to get some books so i have time to spare. just got home from my cousins birthday party. she turned seven, it was pretty cute with her friend all milling about her. she had a baking party and i could barely restrain myself from eating all the cookie dough!!! chocolate chip!!! tonight Jay and i are going to see Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, which involves little plot and even less brain cells. A good movie to see when you don't want to think. What the hell it's a chick flick. Mostly i go for the action movies or ones where the deep pondering hero has skitsophrenia. the most important thing a hero has to have is a good personality, kinda of like i would be friends with them in real life. god knows i deal with enough brain dead idiots at school. My english teacher Mrs. Gattone being a primary example. In history we are studying feminism and how the media objectifies women, but now whenever i watch TV or think of books i have read i just see women being put down by society. All the disney movies, for example: in the little mermaid, Ariel is brave and strong, but she has an impossibly stick thin figure. The whole plot of the movie is based on her trying to get married, where she eventually gives up the merpeople to be with her husband. Do you see prince Eric giving up anything! No! does that really give a strong image to small girls other than they should use their talents to get married! And barbie, does barbie really portray an acurate image of what it is like to be a girl in 2004? She is a nurse, a lawyer, and a pilot, but she still must always beautiful and acting as Kens playmate is stressed more than any of this. Girls don't play with barbi because she went to Yale for six years and another at Hervard to get her PH.D. They play with her because she is beautiful and get all the boys, especially the anatomically enhanced Ken. Girls should be shown that they can be doctor and not be the steriotype of beauty. Being beatiful should be second to her talent and inner kindness. It just makes me so mad!! for my cousins birthday she got makeup! i never got makeup! She is seven, what will this teach her other than she must put on makeup to be beautiful. that being pretty is more important than being and articulate human being...*(big breath)* i just dont know. by the way to all my LJ friends, i decided that instead of posting every minute detail of my life i am going to wait until i really have somthing to say. from her on my LJ entries should be pretty long. my favorite thing i when i'm at home and i have the house to myself. no one telling me to clean up my desk or wask last nights dishes. i really like just being alone.
