A Nightmare on Elm Street.
“Oh weird. That’s a picture of me as a child, but I didn’t meet him until high school. Oh well.” Carries on living life until she eats shit. Perfect movie for Jasmine to see. “Oh SHIT! She just got TORE up! Ahhhh hell no! Oh god, Oh god, she’s breakin’ her walls! I mean look! Oh, oh, OH! She dead. She so dead. Ahh those were nice sheets too!”...

Day Without Hate is super
But I'm always okay.
I found a movie more disturbing than Antichrist! It’s called The Human Centipede. Now I have a new story that’s about as vomit worthy as clitoral/testicular mutilation. Super stoked. Except not. ‘Cause it’s actually really disgusting. I can’t sleep, so I’m watching Friday the 13th and trying to do Stats homework while thinking about a million things; some...
It hurts to even think about it.
“I know who you are. I love you. I love everything about you that hurts.”

“You’re a miracle, Ronnie. We’re all miracles. Know why? Because as...”

Well, there’s this girl. Her name is Anna Marie Fields, and she’s actually sitting somewhere near you right this very second. I would like to take some time to tell you exactly why I love her and why she is simply one in a million. First of all, she’s hilarious. It’s almost embarrassing how much she can make me laugh, and then keep me laughing. She’s like a cure on a bad day; a few minutes with...
I wonder what’s wrong with me, and when I’ll figure things out.
“This circus is falling down on its knees The big top is crumbling down It’s raining in Baltimore fifty miles east Where you should be, no one’s around I need a phone call I need a raincoat I need a big love I need a phone call These train conversations are passing me by And I don’t have nothing to say You get what you pay for But I just had no intention of living this way...
Sometimes I can’t shake the pain. I’ve carried myself through most things for a long time now, but sometimes I just wish I could just collapse into someone else. Let everything wash over, and just for a moment let someone else say, “it will all work out.” I’m split most of the time. Part of me wants, but perhaps doesn’t need, someone else. Aches for it. But I...
It was wonderful to spend today, of all days, with someone so wonderful. :) Now my life can slowly become my own.

The Critics Say...
Well, at least Jen reads these things. Only one more movie has been added to the strongest major films of 2010 according to the critics. It’s still a small and interesting list, but Kick-Ass is certainly joining it next week and I’m sure Iron Man 2 and other films coming out soon will be joining as well. 1. How to Train Your Dragon 2. Shutter Island 3. The Crazies 4. Youth in Revolt 5....
Live in the moments.
“We haven’t located us yet.”
– The Darjeeling Limited
It still hurts.
“That’s how it starts. We go back to your house. We check the charts, And start to figure it out. And if it’s crowded, all the better, because we know we’re gonna be up late. But if you’re worried about the weather then you picked the wrong place to stay. That’s how it starts. And so it starts. You switch the engine on. We set controls for the heart of the sun,...
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY HOUSE SMELLS LIKE SMOKE AND I’M ABOUT TO HEAD INTO VIOLENT TERRITORY.
“We are a beautiful letdown. Painfully uncool. The church of the dropouts, the...”

“Sometimes I think we live through things only to be able to say that it...”
– The Jacket
Today was one of those days. If you know me at all, you know I tend to lean more towards the positive sides. But I won’t lie, there are still some days where I feel emotionally and physically drained. Psychologically exhausted. Beat down. Stuck. Today was one of those days, indeed. Thanksfully, tomorrow is another day, a new day, and something else will happen. Good or bad, it’ll be a...
“If you stop believing, let me know. Now we don’t even show. Our feelings...”
– Gomez
Whenever my family gets together, everything feels so fake and on edge and strained. Just a few more months of this… Apparently, “I’m Fine” is the most commonly used lie. Strangely enough, I don’t think it’s always meant to be a lie or a cover up. Sometimes, yes, sure, people will use it as such. But when I say, “I’m fine,” I mean it. It...
