i recently watched edward scissorhands. i didn't really know what to expect, but i figured i would love it. which i ended up doing. however, the movie made me sad and brought me to one, or a few, revelations. *i must warn you now, that if you haven't seen the movie this could possibly spoil it. consider this your warning*
i thought it was amazing and wonderful how everyone in the community fell in love with edward. being the pessimist i am, i figured they all would shun him and he would be even more dismal down in the town with houses color coordinated to their cars as opposed to his large, dark, castle with the amazing shrubberies in the front yard. but everyone loved him. except for the lady with all the incense next door, and a few rogues (aka teens). i was pleasantly surprised. i thought "how cool...society actually accepts him!" this is where my innocent ignorance became apparant and my happiness was shattered. a few select humans' stupidity end up bringing edward's happiness to a bitter ending. and that is how im going to leave it. i was saddened by the ending.
i think watching this movie at the beginning of the week made me a little bitter towards other humans this week. which i feel badly about, but can't help knowing i expected it in the movie. and it makes me sad how i went into the movie expecting it and then it really happened, even though i didnt want it to happen. its even sadder how it happened though. *sigh* it makes me wonder why people can't be more accepting and it makes me wonder how society got into such a sad position.
so...i dont know if i got my revelation across really, but i think i got a few important thoughts out there.
11 days until i turn 17...
13 days until sonshine...
15 days until charlie and the chocolate factory...
16 days until harry potter and the half-blood prince!

i have been struggling with my bloggy here...trying to think of something wonderful to write.
my wrist has acted up again. huzaah except not. it hurts...not like sheeringpaincantmovearmatall but more like irritatingpokesthatjustwillnotquit. *sigh* i planned on returning to tennis tomorrow, but i'm not so sure it is a good idea any more.
gosh darn it. im suffering from severe blogger's block.
im seriously at a loss for topics, ideas, arguments, intelligent words. i guess i will leave you with my exciting countdowns. because i just cant wait!!! incidentally, my countdowns will all end about the same time.
15 days until i turn 17...
17 days until sonshine...
19 days until charlie and the chocolate factory...
20 days until harry potter and the half-blood prince
huzzah!

oh bloggy...
my summer has been so incredibly busy. incredibly fun, but incredibly busy nonetheless. i can't belive nonetheless is one word. how strange....
went up to minneapolis and to the art institute. i saw a real monet, and van gogh, and matisse...it was very cool. and then there was this "traveling" exhibit thing. it was amazing! they were these huge murals on an unstretched canvas and then it was like in water colors or acrylic. but the best part was the artist would write stuff in a metallic ink on the picture in just the right spots. it was amazing. some people are just...wow. check out the link if you want...its got her stuff on it
http://www.artsmia.org/exhibitions/details.cfm?ev_id=1721
i started working this week. kids say the cutest things...this one kid when we were done was like "that was some good tennis today". i laughed. oh, btw, if you didnt know, i teach little kids how to play tennis. i guess that is more important than just an after thought, but whatever...
for now, im going to count down until the 6th Harry Potter book, just because i saw a count for it at the book store yesterday so now i don't have to count all the days myself, heh.
34 days until Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

ITS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
school's out for summer.....
no more teachers, no more books....
and all that fabbity fab jazz.
except for this cold.
not so fabbity fab.
anyways...went to a bonfire last night. and played ultimate frisbee. it was so much fun! i can't say im a very good frisbee player, i can hardly catch and my throwing skills aren't much better, but i did make one amazing catch last night. it was...pretty sweet.
gosh i love summer. its just.....wonderful. its not so stressful, i can go outside and play tennis in the sun, or dance in the rain. everything is perfect in the summer. except for misquitos, i think i got like, 14 bug bites last night. *ouch*
well, my countdown for school is no longer valid...i could count down a few things now: sonshine, harry potter 6, willy wonka...haven't decided yet. i guess you'll just have to come back and find out
oo! intrigue...
