So, Kyle is practically begging me to update my journal and use the story of me inadvertently creating Alias three years after it debuted on the air as an allegory for shitty friends. But I'm not going to do that because it probably wouldn't make any sense. Instead, I will give out this bit of whimsical information. It is nearly impossible to think up something someone hasn't already thought up before you. And if you do, they will cancel your show after three episodes. And I would like to point out that I am aware that that also did not make much sense nor was it very whimsical.
I saw Saved last night, and it was a movie which really made me wish it were 12th grade again so I could write a deep and poignant review of the movie which would go over most of the reader's heads. And then they would sit in their houses and laugh at me as they didn't read my article. Much like you are not reading this now. Rat bastards.
So anyway. Could have taken the easy way out and gone to see Terminal, but Saved was probably a far better idea. It was one of the most well written, acted, and directed films I have seen in the past few years. It was genuinely funny, all of the characters had a great deal of depth to them, it had a good message which didn't come off as overly cheesy, everyone fit their parts marvelously, Jena Malone is absolutely gorgeous, and yeah.
I could write a longer review. I could talk about Mandy Moore's character who was evil, yet fascinating or any number of other characters but I'm not going to. I feel like this would be giving away too much when you could all easily see the movie for yourself. If you are cheap (and most of you are), you can wait 'till it comes out on DVD and rent it up. I would highly recommend this. It wasn't a film which made me go "OMG WTF" like American Beauty, but it was still really, really, good and I would recommend it to each and every one of you.
Also, with Kyle's help (though he wasn't actually around and will only learn of his influence upon reading this) I have decided that if that 0.0001% chance ever happens and I do find my way to Hollywood, I'm casting Jena Malone in whatever it is I make, and making her my bride. Nothing else to it.
One more thing about saved. I really like Patrick Fugit as well as all of the Culkin brothers and I would like to see all of them in future movies. Even Keef admitted that he was fond of little Macaulay, this after only a day prior he had threatened to change the former Home Alone star's name to Kevin Smith and make him his man servant.
So, other than Saved, there was some buying of legal fireworks and pretty much doing nothing with them. It was positively EVIL. Or at least practice for future instances of evil.
Today was almost interesting as any chance I had at achieving sleep was interrupted by Farmer Jack calling a million and a half times to see if I would come in early. I agreed to the earliness, though this did give me less time to hit up the graduation party scene. Today I reached my annual quota of two, attending the parties for Jason and Nathan Stachel.
As I'm sure none of you realize, Nathan has recently left Farmer Jack, rendering me miserable. I've spent the time following Nathan's departure, locked away in my room, silently weeping and composing sad yet poignant poems which I may use to start an emo band. Or post in my profile so the entire online community can share in the gut wrenching misery I have to face on a daily basis due to the absence of Nathan in my life.
Um...yeah. So it was actually really nice to see the kid, even though his party was scary. I didn't really know anyone there (Nathan being popular and all) and so I had to avoid eye contact with everyone and even went as far as to make my sister go with me so I wouldn't be alone. It rocked.
Jason's was later in the day, and I had to attend it on my break. This was nice, as it gave me an excuse to stay out on break much longer than the allotted fifteen minutes. I think Justin summed it up nicely when he referred to Jason as a master of social situations. (or something along those lines.) He may be black, but he's damn charismatic and good times were had by all. It also rocked, and I left having enjoyed myself at 100% of the graduation parties I attended this season. I've also realized that because I don't really like anyone else, Jason's party was the last graduation party I'm ever going to have to attend. Unless my cousins graduate, but hopefully I'll be in another state by then and won't have any contact with my extended family. Cross our fingers.
Time for bed as I work early. Night kids.
