i went to see twilight. obviously, it was not very good. i wasn't disappointed because i was expecting the worst, but the worst is pretty much what i ended up getting. i didn't understand catherine hardwicke's point of view much... i imagined it much darker, much colder and much more in depth and substance basically. i guess what i comes down to is that everyone has their own interpretation and you'll either love or hate the movie. i just wanted it to be so clint mansell composed. i imagined it to the tune of the theme from wind chill. i wanted so bad to make that movie tonight, just to show those people who didn't read the book that there's more to it than what was shown. i guess hardwicke was attempting to make it contemporary and more relatable to teenagers, and it did seem as though her signature urban style appeared in parts, but i just think more could've been done and it wasn't. i felt like the script was poorly written and it lacked in spots.
all in all, it's been a good week and i've really liked it, aside from the whole twilight movie. i laughed my way through it actually. my favorite part was when it ended and they played 15 step by radiohead. (: i'm only 10 sales away from my one year goal of 100 ! buy stuff from me so i can reach it ! :D jamieleto.etsy.com
i was going to apply for national honor society, but i'm having doubts on if i'll be able to keep up with everything. i already gave one teacher a recommendation to fill out.. i have two more. other than that, i need a recommendation from some community manager type. i did some community service over the summer but i don't know if they'd fill it out for me, ugh. hehe. i don't know. i've filled out most of the application and noticed that i'm not much of an over-achiever. i've gotten a little lazier this year in terms of extracurriculars, or maybe i was lazy to begin with. i don't know. i'll just have procrastinated recommendations and try to volunteer tomorrow and such. who knows what will happen, but all i learned is, some things mean more than school. i learned it yesterday-ish.
yesterday morning i was talking to my mom. she was upset about some things and needed to vent. in that moment, i became proud of myself as i spoke to her. i've grown so much, and in some way, grown more than my older siblings. being an aspiring filmmaker, i figured out my whole immediate family history. the misconceptions, the wrong turns, the wrong blames. things that haunt and sadden us, as well as things we enjoy to reminisce about. i'm not that into venting about my family or home life. there isn't much to vent about anymore. try me three years ago for it. it's just, i'm so proud i could see things people don't. i can explain the conflicts and inner-workings of my family who was screwed up for so long and i figured out why. i turned a lifelong villain into a friend. i overcame the fact that i felt ignored for so long and made amends with someone i thought i'd hated. i think i've been brave in my decisions and my thoughts. thinking back just makes me love myself a little more. i've achieved something that others in my family have not, and that's love for each of them. in my family it seems as though each of us always have someone we dislike or even hate, but not me. i've grown to love each of them, no matter how they may or may not have hurt me. without knowing the history, you may not be able to see, but if you would've known me then, you could see how far i've come.
<-- i found this on etsy the other day. kurt vonnegut is seriously, one of my favorite people to ever live. he's my soul mate, we were just born in the wrong decades. someday we'll be together, haha. not for his looks, for his mind. we thought sort of the same. i love his dark humor. i love how his books are so apocalyptic and full of the fall of humanity. it sounds weird, but i guess it's only for those who understand. it's hard for me to find someone i can really talk to about vonnegut's works and such. some people just don't understand my fascination with the apocalypse and the fall of humanity. i guess i wouldn't either if it wasn't me. i don't know, but i love this pin. it's the essence of vonnegut for a high school student.
i really want this shirt ! i love timber ! his art is so amazing and it has such great texture to it. i have yet to buy something from him, but if my wholesale inquiry goes well then i'll probably be buying more than that ! hehe. i'm really excited. if it goes through i won't have to worry about money for a good while, and hopefully i could eventually accumulate enough for my camcorder by next year ! i'm really hoping, hoping, hoping ! hehe. anyway, i love the illustration on this v-neck.
besides the election, i'm pretty stoked about some other things going on in my life. i'm sort of feeling chemistry with someone else (who isn't taken) so we'll see how that goes, but before i start sounding like a teenager, i'll leave it off with some cool shizz around da etsy hood. ps- obama, i love you.
<-- i posted this necklace yesterday. i really like it ! well, i like it for other people at least. it's such a cute hippie statement. i'm so happy i found this super-cute charm ! it looks awesome ! i like the color combo and i'm so excited for it to be bought ! i think it'll be a great addition to someone's accessory collection someday.
now that i know the way to go, you got to pay back every penny that you owe. twelve years old in your mother's clothes, shut the blinds and lock up every door. and if you're here then someone's coming near, just close your eyes and make them disappear. sudden burst of devendra banhart lyrics. don't ask.
anyway, i'm contemplating staying with this blog. i've jumped between blog sites so many times. i used to be xanga, then livejournal (but not really), now vox and i'm contemplating jumping to blogspot, just for more module space, and also for marketing purposes for my etsy. i don't know how much traffic i'm getting here. it seems as though the only vox user who gets traffic is cubistliterature, but that's just because he's uber cool. ew, i just said uber. anyway, just letting anyone who actually reads this stuff, this might be the end.
i was just checking out blogspot, and i couldn't help missing vox already in that one second i spent setting it up. here i can link my flickr and photobucket, post books and videos, okay i guess i'm staying. it's too cool here.
now that chicago x 12 is playing on my iTunes as i came to this realization, i must say, that was the most pointless contemplation and this is the most pointless post. who cares about traffic, i have archives and history here, and that's all i need i guess. i found some stuff on etsy i really like by the way.
i ended up watching breakfast at tiffany's last night, like i said. i didn't pay attention much because i was busy on the phone with my friend trying to help him with somethings. either way, i love that movie so much. i always wanted to be holly golightly and have the fabulous clothes and hair. i love her hair. other than that, i did watch jon & kate plus 8, but i have to watch real chance at love some other time. vh1 always repeats anyway.
i really like this bag. i need a new bag to carry my books in and this fits the bill. i'll have to set some money aside, btu i like that it's made out of recycled materials and such. it appeals to me a lot. it ensnares my senses, hehe. and i like the bold text. buy it for me? my birthday is on saturday. (;
i'm also really digging this shirt by thefullspectrum. i've been dying to buy something from that shop for so long. there is so much i want there. i want so much stuff on etsy, hehe. i've almost finished christmas shopping and etsy has been my main tool. i only have around four people left. i have a big-ish family so for me, that's not many. anyway, i love owls and i love this shirt ! i think it goes well with the burlap tote as well so i want it. i love scoop necked shirts. i like them a lot. don't ask why, i just like the way they look on me. anyway, i'll leave it at that before i get too specific.
i think i'll be watching breakfast at tiffany's tonight. and i'm going to sleep happy because today i was so happy. i felt wanted and needed, i felt like i had really friends and i felt like i had meaning no matter what the future holds. just going to school with anticipation for something and then coming home for everything to just keep looking up i start to wonder what i did to deserve so much happiness. i'm truly grateful for this day and everyday, whoever it was that gives it to me. thank you. now i'll close with two reasons why i said what i said.
<-- my sister's christmas present ! i can't wait for her to get it, i'm hoping she'll love it as much as i do. i think elmstudiosonline really captured them nicely and i can't wait to see what my sister thinks of it ! i'm shivering with anticipation, and not in a rocky horror sort of way, in an innocent sort of way, hehe. (;
there are just some moments in the day where i feel left out; alone in some way or another. i don't know what it is. my friends don't alienate me, but i guess sometimes my obnoxious and impulsive nature gets the best of me. i don't know if it's a positive or negative thing about me, but all i know is, it scare me sometimes just cos sometimes i feel like i need the approval of others. i like when people like me for me, but sometimes it gets hard to even accept myself, just cos sometimes i feel the need to change. i know i have friends and people who like me for who i am, but sometimes i wonder if it's enough. sometimes i wonder if i should be more. am i wrong in this?
i'm getting really excited for my birthday. it seems like i can expect a lot of birthday money, but that's not why... really. okay, maybe a little.
anyways, i'm excited to drive, i'm excited to have a fun day with good friends and i'm excited to just look back on everything. in the united states, prominently, 16 is looked upon as a big age. a big step. a stepping stone from teenager to almost adult-ish. you learn to drive, you can get a job and you're soon going to be leaving home and going to college. looking back, i don't know if i'd regret anything. all in all, i'm excited to turn 16 and i can't wait for it ! :D
