For a Good Cause...
Of movie marathons and Insomnia
0 violent reactions From the nonsensical thoughts of your DramaQueen at 10:53 PMDecided to write seeing as I can't sleep - or refuse to sleep, whatever. I think it's more of the former. I don't know what's wrong with me. Every time I get a break from school, insomnia attacks and I turn nocturnal. I'd complain if I knew where to complain.
So well anyhoo, started with a post regarding a GreenPeace Campaign and my mind constantly wandered into parallel dimensions that I drafted the post because I probably wouldn't do the campaign justice. I do promise, however, to post it tomorrow, or the next day, or whenever I start to think straight. I did swear on the grave of the original Captain America that I'd go back into being an Eco-warrior. (Yes, Captain America died.) (No, I'm not a Marvel girl, I prefer DC because I spiritually married the Batman.) (Yes, I am a dork.)
With the lack of anything of interest to say, I thought I should keep you guys up-to-date with my ever-boring life. I know you guys don't care, I'm bored and you can always stop reading if you want to.
So I passed all my courses this sem. Big whoop, I guess. People kept saying how they always knew I'd pass and how much of a dramaqueen I am for constantly crying during the whole I'm failing episode.
I am now officially au fait with Gossip Girl's second season. Blaire's still gorgeous. Serena's still Serena, minus then plus then minus Dan again. Nate -more of Chace- is still hot. Chuck's still... Chuck. The whole show's completely superficial and I totally appreciate the books better but hey, it keeps me from losing ideas for a conversation.
I've downloaded a couple of movies, most of which are old but recommendable, nonetheless:
Sabrina (1954)
This stars my personal role model, Audrey Hepburn, with Humphrey Bogart and William Holden. Audrey's character, Sabrina, is the daughter of the Larrabee chauffeur and is absolutely in love with David Larrabee (William Holden).
The amazing thing about Audrey Hepburn's movies is that they make you feel like you could actually relate to the characters she plays.
Penelope (2008)
The Princess Bride (1987)
Yet another fairy tale. Hey, I was depressed. I needed to watch things that could actually make me smile or whatever. Happily Every Afters always work that way, right?
So anyhoo, the movie came out two years before I was born, which actually made me happy to know that I'm probably not as old as I imagine myself to be. It's the story of Princess Buttercup (who in the world names their daughter Buttercup?) and Westley (Cary Elwes of Robin Hood: Men in Tights). And pirates. And swordfights. And torture. And whatever else fairy tales come up with. Watching it made me feel like I were five years old again.
Titanic (1997)
I saw the movie when it first came out. I never understood why it was amazing. All I knew was that it was amazing because people said it was. I watched again a couple nights ago after 11 years and all I can say is that Leo deserved to be a heart throb, er, I mean the movie deserved every penny it got from the box office. I'm not going to give a summary about the movie, because, c'mon, who hasn't seen titanic. Except for my four year-old cousin.
Oh God. I suddenly feel so old.

Is it even possible to die from anticipation? I guess dying now beats dying later when I get to see my marketing grade, which may or may not be a five. (Failing grade's five here guys, highest would be one, you get the picture.)
I know I'm not ready to see them but I just want this over with. I've been feeling like a candidate on death row for the past week and the extended anticipation is definitely not helping.
'Sides, my parents might go to sleep and since there is just no way in hell I'm looking at my grades, I'm getting them to look at it for me.
Oh good Lord.
More later. Too tense to write. Too tense to even think straight.
Ciao.

We all end up the remains of the day...
0 violent reactions From the nonsensical thoughts of your DramaQueen at 12:27 PMSo maybe I over-dramatize everything. It's not my fault I was born the youngest making me the attention-seeking, predominantly self-centered drama queen that I am. And it definitely isn’t my fault that I find myself in a bind that I can’t exactly get myself out of. Is this how people on death row feel a couple of days before they die?
And what exactly am I talking about?
A couple of days ago, give or take about two weeks, I found out I was failing Marketing. Yes, the introduction to Marketing. Yes, the first of the series of courses involving Marketing. After months of refusing to cry and giving in to whatever emotion I have left, my drama tears couldn’t stop falling – which caused my parents to be worried, which in turn, caused me to undergo the self-pity scenes I tried not to do anymore. (Yes, it involved cutting.) (Yes, it did hurt.) (And no, don’t call me Emo.)
So anyhoo, my grades will come out in a day or two... or three and I don’t feel ready. I don’t think I’ll ever be ready.
I don’t exactly deal well with impending doom. I don’t deal well with anything in life, I guess. If I’d been born dead, I’d probably deal with it a lot better… I don’t know how dead people deal with things exactly but, hey, it probably beats all the crap in this life.
Everyone’s been telling me it’ll all be fine – that I’ll be fine but I don’t know… I can't help but feel that by the end of this week, I'll be part of the remains of the day.
If it’s worth anything, there’s a teensy part of me that’s hoping I actually passed my subjects.
What would I give to be comfortably numb again? (Refer to the August 28 post.)Why couldn't I been born as one of those sunshine-y people? Oh wait. I am one of those sunshine-y people. It is absolutely disturbing to be a melancholic sanguine. 'Till next time my ♥s. ~Your once and future DramaQueen

0 violent reactions From the nonsensical thoughts of your DramaQueen at 7:40 PMYou guessed it. Just came from yet another marketing exam. Haha. Kind of forgot what it feels like to do absolutely nothing. I used to do this for a living. Oh well.

Who are you?
+I don't really know. I'm reading The Witch of Portobello by Coelho right now. I'll prolly know who I am after I read it. (Contrary to Sir B's "Twsited Mind" comment, I still think Coelho's amazing.) (Boo you, Sir.) (Kidding.)
What keeps you awake at night?
+School stuff. It's not like I can not study, you know? Haha. Seriously, though, I spend the last minutes before I sleep trying to figure out how to spend the next day. I've got a million things to do for school. Blech.
If you could go back in time and change something, what would you change?
+Nothing. I've thought about it a lot lately and I realized that I'm okay mental-wise. Prolly depressed here and there but I'm coping. Guess that's an improvement, huh?
Are you happy with your life at the moment?
+Idk. I still take the I'm-destined-to-be-terminally-unhappy stand but I'm not unhappy as I was a couple months back.
What do you like most about yourself?
+I don't think of myself that much. Haha.
Do you ever wish you were someone else?
+Most days, yeah.
What’s the worst thing anyone has ever done to you?
+Idk. I don't weigh my experiences. Haha.
Do you have a dark secret that you have never told anyone?
+Maybe... or maybe not. I guess you'll never know now, will ya? LOL
What do you like most about your friends?
+That they get my insanity and I get theirs, you know? Those idiots never fail to make me feel blessed. Thank you, Idiots.
Have you ever come close to dying?
+Lotsa times. LOL
What one thing do you want most in this world?
+Happiness. I'm not being emo here.
How do you want to be remembered when you die?
+I want one of those Hollywood Walk of Fame Star thingies...
What do you never take for granted?
+I take everything for granted. Hahaha.
+I don't really know. I'm reading The Witch of Portobello by Coelho right now. I'll prolly know who I am after I read it. (Contrary to Sir B's "Twsited Mind" comment, I still think Coelho's amazing.) (Boo you, Sir.) (Kidding.)

Call me excited. Tell me I'm procrastinating (test mgt115 tomorrow). Whatever, I'm still making my to do list for sem break. Whoopeedoo, dude.
Angel's Sem Break Checklist:
Angel's Sem Break Checklist:
- Hibernate! Hibernate! (To lose whatever melanin you gained from this sem... Keep in mind that you miss your albino self...)
- Get lotsa sleep... and I mean a lot of it. (To sleep all those hours you lost this sem... and to sleep all the hours you'll lose next semester.)
- Have deep and meaningful conversations with the turtles. (This is meant in the literal sense - by that I mean the literal turtle. You used to have deep and meaningful conversations with them. Rekindle whatever relationship you had with them.)
- Allot gym time with psychotic relatives. (We've been meaning to do it since... the beginning of time but we end up pigging out so...)
- Go star gazing. The world feels meaningful when you do.
- Refuse to do any activity that involves sunlight. (vampire mode)
- Spend more time with the attention-seeking dog. He might go into depression and cut himself. Never mind that he's a big wuss and that he's a DOG.
- Do something intellectual. Learn a language, new song on the guitar, whatever kever...
- Attempt to arrange flowers for All Saints' even though you know it'd turn out to be a bunch of crap. Flower arrangement Abstractism could be your thing.
- Gain Psychic powers. Try time-travel. Or telekinesis. Control the weather?
- Go vegetarian (again). Sorry Peta. Sorry Animals.
- Have existentialist talks with four year old cousin about Dora, Barney, and Spongebob.
- Go DVD-slash-movie marathon-ing. Convince the peso-earning sister to buy GG's 2nd season, OTH's 5th, and whatever series would come to your mind.
- Read a book. Not a crappy one, this time. The Twilight series took down too many of your brain cells. Damn those pseudo-vampire books. Rice's vampires were the best. Perfect in their imperfect way. (For the record, I read the twilight series 'cause it was cool at first. But then Meyer made too many happy endings that made it ad nauseam. Sorry Twilight fans. Edward's great but Lestat would beat him hands down. In young adult lit, I think Meyer's cool but Rowling still kicks butt)
- Annoy the hell out of Japanese/European/et al CEOs/Political leaders/etc. regarding environmental concerns. You like the planet. You plan to rule it one day. (Special thank you to the senate for passing the Renewable Energy (RE) Bill.)
- Hum, sing, annoy people through Christmas carols and vague Buddhist sayings.
- Enjoy Halloween. It's the best make-believe holiday there is.
- Make sure you do at least two items from this list.
