Valentine's Day

My Opinion On The Holiday

So I'm sure it's a great holiday to all the lovers out there, but think about how it feels for us single people. It just makes us more aware of how single we are. This holiday shouldn't be about loving your significant other, it should be about loving everyone. It should be a day where everyone is a bit nicer to each other don't you think. The commercialism of this holiday is horrible, guys feel that since it's Valentine's Day they have to get their girl a gift and girls feel like they need to be especially good to their guy today. People waste money on flowers and chocolates and gifts on their significant other, why don't they waste money on any other day? It's the commercialism. Sure, people might be oblivious to the fact that the person they love only gives them a present on February 14th, but hey they got a present. No, that's not how it should work. It's just another day, he/she can get you a present on any other lovely day they decide to, but they don't. Doesn't that make you feel bad when you look at it that way? 

I made the font red on purpose XD

Have a nice day!~

Friday the 13th

Surprisingly, Nothing Bad Has Happened To Me At All...

Okay, so it's not surprising, but if you don't feel at least a little bit more cautious on this day, then wow you really don't care about the thrill of today. I'd say the most unlucky thing that happened to me today was having half of my literature circle (we started reading "To Kill A Mockingbird" by Harper Lee in class on Wednesday) basically not pay attention to anything at all.

Well just remember...

They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (Movie)

I just watched this movie today (2.13.15)...

My mom had recently read the book about two or three months ago and she borrowed the movie from the library when she saw it was in their catalogue. We came upon this book when we went to BookOff (great place to find interesting books!~) and when we're there I usually have nothing to do (I don't like to read manga there or else I'll get really enraptured in the story)so I tell my mom that I should read the first chapter of every book and tell her if it's worth it or not to get it. I read the book and said, "Hey, this seems really cool." I don't remember much of what I read though, but I really did enjoy it from what I read.

Well, she said the book was good, but that surprisingly the MOVIE was better.

It was a great movie, who knew a concept like this could be turned into something so riveting.

Basic Synopsis: 

A girl joins a dancing marathon competition, her partner is kicked out for being sick (so as to not give the illness to the other contestants). The director of the competition says the girl can get another partner if she can find one and right out there in the crowd he finds a random guy just standing around not trying out for the competition. He agrees since he has nothing better to do and from there the story begins.

Jane Fonda is in this movie, she's amazing!!! I loved her character (Gloria) so much!!!

I had to put this here, Jane Fonda is so beautiful!!! <3

Characters:

Jane Fonda as Gloria Beatty (her smart-alack ways were funny. Great acting as well. My favorite character.)

Michael Sarrazin as Robert Syverton (best line in the movie "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?")

Susannah York as Alice LeBlanc (She was very pretty, too. I was indifferent to her character, she neither amazed me nor aggravated me. My little cousin who happened to pass by at the beginning of the movie stopped and said "Whoa, who is that?" I found that so adorable)

Gig Young as Rocky (Ugh, I hated this guy so much he was such a sleeze!!!)

Red Buttons as Harry Kline (Old guy acting like he was 31. I loved his character!!!)

Bonnie Bedelia as Ruby (I was half-annoyed by her, but also half-sorry for her character.)

Bruce Dern as James (Indifferent to his character. I mean really he wasn't that big of a character in the movie. I just identified him as the Ruby's husband.)

Allyn Ann McLerie as Shirley (Another character I was indifferent to.)

The rest of the sort of main characters are on wikipedia I just have nothing to say about them so it's kind of pointless for me to post anymore. They were minor characters anyway. I will post the link to the wikipedia page below at the end of the post.

Brief Summary of Some Things Found on the Wikipedia Page:

It was released December 10, 1969. The movie is set in the '30s though as my mom said. It lasts 2 hours and is based on the book of the same name by Horace McCoy.

Stupid Computer

Don't You Just Hate When The Computer Deletes Your Story...

It's my fault though. I didn't save the story, when the computer decided that the program wasn't working anymore, so I shouldn't be mad, but like why did that have to happen!!! It was coming out pretty good, too. I'm just telling myself that the story was not meant to be published or else the computer wouldn't do that. ^_^
