dirty dancing in the moonlight, take me down like I'm a domino.
It's the end of the first week of the year, and I've already finished three books. SPEAKING OF BOOKS, I started a side Tumblr called What I Read This Year, so that I can post short reviews about all the new books I read. I don't think I'll talk about any of the books I re-read, unless it's an all-time favorite. But really, I tend to read more new books than to read old ones, so there's that.
While I'm on the topic of books: THE FAULT IN OUR STARS IS OUT ON TUESDAY. And I have seven library books out. All of the first run's autographed, right? So that means if I buy a copy at Barnes and Noble it'll be signed, right? I think I'm just gonna go ahead and finally buy my preorder on Amazon to be safe. That book has been in my shopping cart since Thanksgiving.
Beauty and the Beast 3D next Friday. Of all the movies that came out during the 90s Disney boom, that was the big one I didn't see at the theater. It's weird when I think about the fact that the first time I saw it, I didn't like it, but years later I've more or less fallen in love with it, and I've even seen the musical on stage. My first Disney movie at the theater was The Little Mermaid, and I've had an affinity for that movie ever since. Ariel's always been one of my favorite princesses; plus, "Part of Your World" is possibly the best I Want Song in the Disney Animated Canon.
Work related thing: I feel embarrassed when/if I see any of my former teachers/professors at work. I shouldn't, because I have to get money somehow, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with me working at The Job (also, academic assistance, which I need to use more). But at the same time, it just doesn't... feel right. It always makes me worry that somewhere in the back of their minds (especially when it comes to my high school teachers--and my former assistant principal, once) they are thinking, "That poor girl."
I had a moment like that on Monday, when I saw my former screenwriting instructor. He asked me how I was and what I'd been up to, and I responded with, "Oh, just hanging out... working..." And he adds, "And writing?" I didn't have the heart to tell him that the bulk of my writing over the past year has been for a novel, not for a screenplay. (But I still want to write my demon script! And I will, once I do some research on demons and what have!)
RANDOM LAST THING: I know we're a week into 2012, but if I did a post with the songs I listened to the most last year/favorite songs of 2011, would you all still be game?
