It's good to be home...
I'm finally hoooome! I've got EIGHTEEN days until school starts, however. And a bitch-load of summer reading to do. But right now, I'm just happy to be back.
I saw Charlie and the chocolate factory. I didn't know if I'd like it or not, but I really did. And, because of you linnell_girls I couldn't stop thinking how good-looking Charlie's dad was, and how he strikingly resembled Linnell. :P I thought Johnny Depp was very good, and I loved the little boy already from Finding Neverland. And I don't know if all the previews are the same world-wide, but i am SO FUCKING PUMPED for a Wallace and Gromit MOVIE. I have The Wrong Trousers on tape, and I should probably watch that tonight. I heart that movie/video thing. I also am excited for the Corpse Bride.
Yes, I said it. You know why? BECAUSE I LOVE TIM BURTON. And I'm not a tiny goth kid. He's just fucking fantastic, and I don't think he gets enough recognition for that. Everyone's just like "oh, burton, he's creepy," but they don't stop to appreciate his use (or un-use) of color. He has a distinct style, and that takes talent. I'll shout it from the damn rooftops.
I think I listened to every studio TMBG album I own on the drive back and forth from Jersey. They both took a good hour and a half more than usual because traffic's been totally kooky lately.
I got a bit of a tan (aka I'm not longer freakishly pale) but I didn't get to go swimming much. We went to the waterpark the day after we got there because that was the last day I could go swimming, if you catch my drift. (If you catch it, please do not throw it back. I don't want it.)
I've got work 12-5 tomorrow. After contemplating quitting, I decided to stay with my job, but tell Bill (my boss) that I'm declining a small role in Annie. I just don't think it's worth it to miss school for a week to have a tiny part in Annie. I don't even like Annie. I hope he won't be too mad, but I just don't think I can handle it. I hate missing more than two consecutive days of school. I really hate missing school all together, but anything more than two days in a row is unbearable. Especially since next year I'll be taking AP Euro and AP Lit, Editor of the newspaper, and co-president of the GSA possibly. It's gonna be a very hectic confusing year, and I don't need Annie fucking things up.
This week, when I'm not doing summer reading, I'm gonna type up my write-up of the Penn's Landing Show, and polish a few of my unfinished peices from my writing class. I'll type up my finished piece, but everything else is going to be pretty loose and in "work" mode. Which means criticism is loved and welcomed :)
I'm sorry I'm writing so much! Can you tell I haven't had a decent LJ entry in awhile? :P
I've missed two episodes of Rescue Me in a row because where we were staying didn't get the FX channel, and I didn't tape it at home because honestly, who was expecting them NOT TO GET FX??? I can understand not having the Disney Channel because there was a time when most basic cable packages didn't include the Disney Channel, but no FX? We did have three different HBO channels, though. grr. Luckily, my brother taped this week's on its repeat Friday for me.
I got some sunburn on my boobs because my new swimsuit was ridiculously low cut. I apparently was very confident the day I tried it on, and wasn't expecting my mother would force me to "get some sun" whilst I was on my period and feeling really, really shitty. Anyway, it itches. A bunches.
On Monday night, for some reason, I couldn't stop crying for about an hour and a half. It was getting ridiculous. I'm feeling really unhappy with myself, so I'm gonna try to eat better and take better care of myself before school starts. Not a "diet" per say, just treating myself properly, ya know?
I also had some crazy-assed dreams while I was at the shore. I remember one contained my mother and I searching for her car after some mobsters had repainted it and hid it in a salvation army type store. Then they set my teddy bear on fire while I watched. 'Twas awful. I had some others that escape me at the moment...
I kinda want school to start, so I can start planning my life again. I'm not a big fan of routine, but sometimes it helps me stay organized, so I can plan different things for different days, and what not.
I also love school supplies.
I bought a bunch of postcards and didn't send them from NJ. I think i'm just gonna send them from my house. And lie. "I'm having so much fun! Wish you were here!" Well, the 'wish you were here' part would be true, even if i wasn't in jersey. But yeah. So look out in the mail for some, if I have your address. 'Cause I enjoy sending things. (that was specifially aimed at you, miss givethesignal! I haven't sent anything to you since you moved to Tokyo D:)
Okay I'm done now, honestly.
