    For a Good Cause...


    Of movie marathons and Insomnia

    Decided 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)


    I think I wrote about this a couple months back. It's this modern fairy tale about a girl with a snout (played by Christina Ricci). And yes, James McAvoy looks hot in this movie. I guess Scruffy and Miserable works for him.



    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.

    A Poem

    Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
    By Robert Frost




    Whose woods these are I think I know.
    His house is in the village, though;
    He will not see me stopping here
    To watch his woods fill up with snow.



    My little horse must think it queer
    To stop without a farmhouse near
    Between the woods and frozen lake
    The darkest evening of the year.

    He gives his harness bells a shake
    To ask if there's some mistake.
    The only other sound's the sweep
    Of easy wind and downy flake.

    The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
    But I have promises to keep,
    And miles to go before I sleep,
    And miles to go before I sleep.
