Last Day Of March
Yes, it came very fast. Not sure what to say about it though. March wasn't an overly great month, there was some struggles. I'd say spring break was the only outstanding event. But March has always been sort of a down month for me, I have no idea why. For the past 3 or 4 years now, March has been a dull month, one that alot of unpleasant events take place in. Mostly with friends and school. It's funny how I remember things from 4 years ago so clearly. School year of 2008/2009 was a very memorable one I guess. thats when I moved back to my old school. Like, I went to the same school from JK until grade 3, then I went to this other school for grade 4. But I couldnt go again the next year because they cancelled the bus and the school was two cities away. So then I had to move back to my old school for grade 5. And I guess I remember alot of that year because I made all of these new friends and there was ALOT of drama with them. I mean, when you're hanging out with three guys and a two girls, there shouldn't be that much drama! But there was. ANYWAY, that was kinda a depressing year. Cuz do you ever look back on your past and think "Wow, I was so stupid" ?

Unbalanced?
I'm at a point in my life right now where everything is unbalanced. While life at home is thriving, relationships with friends are slightly cruel, my romantic life/interest is pretty much dead, my writing has taken off through the ceiling, my studies have gone somewhat down hill and my freedom is limited. But sometimes, i just feel utterly stupid because of the people I associate myself with.

Back To The Books
Sooooo, spring break is over, very sad, yes I know. But it hasnt been so bad this week. In fact, our teacher (our new one. Did i tell you my other one left?) played a movie for us today called Hotel Rwanda. I'd explain it to you but its really hard to do so if the subject of two tribes in Africa in 1994 trying to wipe each other out interests you, look up Hotel Rwanda. Its really touchy.
Also, lately, i dont know if i've told you but i've been writing ALOT. In fact, i started another novel called Dont Call Me Daddy. A plot will be given in the future, i'm still developing the story line.
And i think thats it for me, i dont really have much else to say. Other than, its been SUPER hot here the past couple days, almost like summer.

FINALLY!
So my laptop has been without Internet for 6 months and just a few days ago, i got it fixed! WOO HOO! so i though i'd share that. Also, i have this nasty cold on spring break woo hoo which sucks. like head ache, burning throat, stuffed nose, the works. i've been bedridden for about 4 days now, today was the first day i was able to get out and about. I went to the park with some friends and you wouldn't believe how warm it was! I took off my sweater and my jacket which i put on a bench which i later regretted cuz someone tied their Rottweiler dog to that bench. needless i had to wait for an hour to get my jackets cuz trust me, i was NOT going anywhere near that thing!
ANYWHO, i also made a fanfiction account (its a site where you can write stories using characters from movies, books, ect) called Retro Soul. I think i told you guys that already but I've posted some stuff now. If you do check out my stories on there: word to the wise, DO NOT read Smoke In The Dark. its horrible, i messed up terribly. I sudgest you read my Take A Ride On The Wilde Side. It's a crossover between The Outsiders and The Hitcher, only i posted it under normal and just under The Outsiders cuz no one wouldve seen it the other way.So yeah, thats all. Reviews on fanfic are appriciated!

Spring Break Woo Hoo!
FINALLY, school's out for spring break! i was getting tired of those goofs! ahaha xD
So this post isnt really about anything in particular, just to waste my time, and now yours.
Most of the break, I'll be writing, trying to finish a book i've been writing for about a month called Grease Bird. I'll be reading alot too, i went to the library this week and picked up three books cuz i thought i'd be without but then today, my teacher (we got a new one by the way. my old ones on maternity leave, thank God. i love my new teacher) gives me this huge-ass book called The Book Thief and ohmygod, its freakin AMAZING, BRO! its like 700 pages and so far its pretty good. its about the holocaust and i like the idea that Death narrates it. at first i was like "hold up, why does this guy take souls?" and then i read some more and i was like "ohhhhhh". lol xD
I guess since theres nothing left to do, i'll update you on my new favourites.
Book: The Outsiders
Movie: Soul Man along with The Hitcher
Song: My Sharona by The Knack (i think?)
T.V show: used to be Friends but i just cant get into it anymore. Ever since i watched the outsiders, its kinda like 'these people have no respect for life'. i know not everything can be drama but more lately, i've been more into drama, mystery, thriller movies/books.
Celebrity: C.Thomas Howell -I'm serious. Tommy Howell + 1980's movies = 90 photos of him saved on my ipod, i kid you not, this guy looks like a freakin angel xD
Enough of me fan girling. BY THE WAY, tonight i created a Fan Fiction account (they wont let me post anything yet cuz im supposedly 'new' but i'll tell you when i do post something so you can look it up). by the time you read this, i might have something up. my pen name is Retro Soul.
So thats all. did you ever notice that the guy from the knack who sings My Sharona kinda looks like a young Chevy Chase?

The Hitcher
There is only one phrase to describe this film and i'm im gonna go with HOLY SMOKES!!!!
The Hitcher is THE best movie i have even seen, i swear, when i finished watching it for the first time i was in such awe that i couldnt speak. The way it captures your attention and makes you want to watch it over and over is amazing.
The Hitcher is a 1986 horror film starring C.Thomas Howell and Rutger Hauer.
A young man, on his way to California, picks up a hitch hiker who turns out to be a murderer. After throwing the killer out of his car, the young man thinks everything is over but its the just the beggining. He is stalked for days, the hitcher framing him for his crimes and turning his life into living hell.
Despite it being called horror, i wouldn't exactly say so. While most horror films focus on the gore, this one focuses more on how the killer torments the young man mentally. Not physically.
The scene that gets me the most is when he first picks up the hitcher and he realises he's a killer. The killer (John Ryder) starts running the blade across the young man's (Jim Hasely) face. Jim asks him what he wants, John replies "I want you to stop me". After threatening him for somewhile, Jim says "Please...I'll do anything". John replies with "say four words". Jim is eger to get rid of John until he finds out john wants him to say "I want to die". "I dont know if i can say think" Jim says. "Sure you can. Repeat after me" John tells him and gets Jim to repeat the words. They're at "to" when Jim realizes John's door isnt fully closed and can be opened without pushing the handle. Instead of repeating the word "die" Jim yells "I DONT WANT TO DIE!" and pushes John out of the car.
Its a truely amazing scene, i've seen it like 50 times since i watched it the first time last week xD
ALSO, since i watched this movie, i've had a new respect for C.Thomas Howell, he's a wonderful, talented actor and i think he just might be my new favourite.
