I:
-finished reading Indiana
-Started and finished my first sudoku puzzle (it's pretty easy, just time consuming)
-Started reading Nausea by Jean-Paul Sartre
-Cleaned out my closet of stuff I didn't want/need (and found out I still fit into jeans bought in middle school)
-Listened to affirmations by Louise Hay and Wayne Dyer
-Meditated
-Began watch Giant, the only James Dean movie I haven't seen yet. It's good, but I was so tired from being up all night that I couldn't finish it.
I'll probably try to finish it sometime tonight.
Rock Hudson, Liz Taylor, and James Dean...that's a cast of lookers.

watching "The Curse of the Cat People", which did not have a single cat throughout the entire film. It's the sequel to "Cat People" which was apparently a fun thriller of sorts but the second film is completely different.
This one is about a little girl who would rather spend time alone than play with the other children. She's giving a ring and wishes for a friend to play with. The friend is basically and odd ghost of the cat lady from the first movie. I never saw the first movie, but her character is said to be completely different from the first. There aren't really any scary elements in the movie. It's more about the distance between the two generations. Her father won't hear anything about her friend, he instantly severs that line of communication and causes his daughter to go further and further into her own imagination. It was a good film despite the strange title.
Is it wrong that I like pretty much every outfit that little girl wore in that film? I think the character was supposed to be six. She reminded me that I need to buy a winter coat. I'm too picky to ask for one for Christmas, I need to buy one myself (searches online).

Bonus quote from two days ago:

Selena: "Yes."
Ava (smiling):"You are? You made my heart very happy!"

Now that all that accident stuff is dealt with, I'm just focusing on school. I had a test yesterday and earned at 97. I have an A(95%) as my midterm grade. I'm happy, but now I'm bored.
Just taking notes with nothing major until my next test. Smooth, banal sailing. Though I think I might major in English. Commiting to a major, that's progressive, right?
I don't really have anything else to do now. So it's just me at home reading and drinking flavored tea. I wish I had something interesting to say about it but I don't. It is a minor link to how I see myself when I'm an adult. I'm techinally one now, because I'm 21. But to me it's when I'm really responsible and in charge of my own life. When I'm older and successful, an adult, I'll sit in my library and drink tea while reading a classic novel. That's how I view it. So when I'm in my mother's house, in my room sipping orange/passionfruit with George Sand in my hands I feel like I'm on track...if that makes any sense at all.
P.S. My sister and her friend are in the living room watching a PBS show for kids about reading. It's making me very happy. If I had my way she would watch educational TV more often. This is coming from the girl who plays Beethoven when babysitting my little cousin because I believe it's important for her to respect/familarize herself with it. I think I would be one of those parents. Good thing I don't plan to reproduce.

| It's been over a week so I guess it's time for an update |

I finally got to play The Beatles Rockband last week. My aunt has it now so it was fun to see my sister and cousin go crazy last friday while I was babysiting and I got paid $15. That really sounds like nothing but I gave my mother all my money to pay for the ticket so having just a little cash to call my own feels amazing.
Aside from that I have an online driving class to take so I won't have points on my license. I can't wait until this car stuff is over so I won't have to worry about it anymore. I can handle not driving and paying the fees but I don't enjoy 20-something days of waiting and anixety leading up to a court apperance. Why am I even going to court? Yes, our cars connected and there's a dent, but I confessed to being in the wrong and I'm willing to pay whatever they want. Why do I need to show up in court for that? They asked me a ton of questions at the scene and I answered them, what else is there to learn? The entire thing turns my stomach and makes me want to cry when I think about it. Hopefully I can find some peace in about 5 days.
The grocery store had some power outage last night so they had no frozen/cold food. So now I have practically no groceries to last me the rest of this week. I'll be living on wheat thins and popcorn until next weekend. Not shopping gave me free time while my family bought stuff so I sat on one of the benches and meditated for about half an hour in walmart. It's difficult with all those damn fluorescent lights, I were sunglasses at all times in that place anyway.
I have a lot of science studying/note taking to do which I've been putting off. So even though it's 3 a.m. I'm going to actually try to start/finish it. Maybe having a busy mind and hands will relax me.

About to watch "Suddenly, Last Summer" Good Morning. |
] |
Good news: Hell yeah! I got an A on that test.
Bad news(/scary reasons to piss my pants): A few minutes after class I drove onto the highway and into another woman's car. We didn't connect hard, no one was hurt, but I didn't see her pull over so I kept driving, so I could hurry home and make sense of this to my mother. But a police officer was driving behind her and saw the whole thing, he pulled me over and now I have a court date for fleeing the scene. The lady was really chill about it and had I just pulled over to talk to her I would be fine, but that cop was trying to read me the riot act and really scare me into guilt like I hit her for fun and speed off, as if I have no remorse. Anyway, I'm sad that it happened at all and I'm tired of taking about it (which is why it's taken a few days to even put it in my blog). I can't wait until October 16th when I never had to address it anymore.

I watched the '39 version of Wuthering Heights on Saturday.
Way to make me swoon again Oliver, Heathcliff is such an ass but he's played so well.
Same thing happened when I saw the PBS version with Tom Hardy.
I still need to read that book, my mother has it but I already "started" Indiana. I began reading it weeks ago, but I'm seriously on about the third page. It's taking me forever to read the first chapter, because I forget and go without reading it for so long.
Then I spent Sunday night/Monday morning watching a Star Wars marathon. I'm not even big into Star Wars, I was just bored and it was 2 a.m. with nothing else on. The trekkie inside is ashamed.
(yes, this post has no cut)
Anyway, I have a test tommorrow night that I've been diligently studying for. I've earned 100s on all by little projects,but only 80s on the two quizzes I've had. I WILL make an A on this test. I've been so close to getting an A on the quizzes but not close enough, it's frustrating.
Oh, and I've been watching a ton of my new favorite show, The Big Bang Theory. I wish there were adorable physicists living next door to me.
Where is my super smart, science boy? I see you Rajesh and Sheldon.
Accio cute physicist!

Man I promise, she's so self conscious
She has no idea what she's doing in college
That major that she majored in don't make no money
But she won't drop out, her parents will look at her funny
Now, tell me that ain't insecurrre
The concept of school seems so securrre
Sophmore three yearrrs aint picked a careerrr
She like fuck it, I'll just stay down herre
( Kanye lyrics aside, I have an issue )

I had class tonight. It wasn't bad at all. The teacher is alright and his name is Mr. Stumpy! It's not spelt like that but it is pronounced that way. I sit by a girl named Brittany Red, sounds like a porn star alias but she's really sweet. I didn't freak out too badly through out the day like I thought I would. The work seems like something I'll be able to grasp and won't get overwhelmed by so I'm content. Yikes homework!
