Just your girly, not-so-typical, insecure contradiction choosing to live life hard, recklessly, and out loud all the while in dresses and high heels.
I tend to think too much, say too much, feel too much, and analyze everything... not to mention, I have a bad habit of repeating myself. If you become an avid reader, my heart goes out to you.
I've been told that my dreams are unachievable and my hopes are unrealistic yet, my best friends call me the most realistic person they know... Perhaps this is because hope fuels dreams, and may we one day live those dreams.
I am currently enrolled in Salem College in Winston-Salem, North Carolina studying Creative Writing/English. What am I going to do with this, you ask? Write.
Welcome and enjoy.

I love it when I go into a screening with very little knowledge or expectations. All I really knew was the whole “press button, kill someone, get a milli” thing & that Cameron Diaz was in it.I didn’t even realize it was a Kelly film. Anyway, I figured I’d watch the first reel and see if it drew me in, and it sure did. I felt intrigued and engaged, and as the credits rolled, it made even more sense when I saw Directed by Richard Kelly.
Reminds me of when I went to see Punch Drunk Love totally blind knowing nothing more than Adam Sandler was in it. I was confused and bewildered for the whole film and then the credits rolled and I realized it was PTA. And then it all made sense…
Anyway, I’m totally going to rewatch Donnie Darko ASAP as I have not seen it for years and years.
Am dying to see it.
Dear Josh:
My cat is looking for the money you promised her for modeling for your camera.
Also, get on Skype cause I wanna see yo’ purdy face.
Love,
Me.
Dear Becca-Macd:
I couldn’t add your face on Twitter. Your screen name wouldn’t show up for me.
Bummer.
If you like, you may add me and I should see you and add you back.
Love,
Me.

I just found out that my good family friend Jackson passed away last night. He was kind of incredible. Always had a cool story to share (the man knew Al Capone for goodness sakes!). He remembered dates and names better than anyone I know and got around town like it was nobody’s business. He was a US Army Veteran. He’d been married 7 times and has 40 children.
Things I’ll miss about him: his charming laugh and sense of humor, his way with the ladies, stories of his young girlfriends (in their 70’s), fried chicken, and wet willies.
We share a birthday on the 24th of this month. I’ll be 25 and he would have been 106.
His clue to a long life was simple: “Love myself so I can love everybody else.”
Taking a trip on Wednesday for Thanksgiving.
No, my family isn’t in Alabama. They’re all in North Carolina with me but my second family happens to be in Alabama.
I happen to be going to visit them.
:-)
I cleaned all weekend long.
Every day, every hour was devoted to cleaning from Friday to today. And the apartment still looks like shit.
The more I clean, the more plates get dirty and toys are out from the animals and so on.
When is it going to end?!

I hate Twilight.
I don’t think it’s a good book series. And the movies are ridiculous. I can’t believe that there is this Twilight movement and it’s become some religion!! Tyler and I went to see A Christmas Carol last night. For those of you who don’t know, A Christmas Carol has Jim Carrey and Gary Oldman in it and was directed by Robert Zemeckis. Carrey, in my opinion, gave a typical, yet downright amazing Jim Carrey performance. I think he fit the Scrooge character as we all picture him in our minds. However, Carrey provided a nice comic relief to an otherwise scarier take on Dickens’s classic. Also, the film has Gary Oldman in it who was also in The Dark Knight, a movie that sadly was beaten by Twilight in theatrical opening profit, but hopefully won’t take the movie’s crown in overall profit. If it does, I’ll be more worried than I already am when I think about what society views are on good movies. Furthermore, A Christmas Carol was directed by Robert Zemeckis who also directed favorites such as Cast Away, Forrest Gump, and The Polar Express. All of which got phenomenal ratings. When a a movie is his, it’s in good hands. On the other side of the spectrum, the first Twilight was directed by Cathrine Hardwicke who had movies like Thirteen and ratings on her movies went down steadily through the years. For New Moon, they brought a new, better director in: Chris Weitz. He had movies like Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist which happens to be the only movie of his that was fairly successful. So far Twilight - 0. A Christmas Carol/any other movie - 1
When the first craptastic Twilight movie came out, I was not one of the girls who rushed to see it. I didn’t read the book when it caught on, and I don’t plan on reading them. Though, maybe I should so I can say the books are better than the movies. BUT I’d rather not sit through a tormenting reading about vampires that glitter. Once the movie was in theaters for about a month and the fleet of teenage girls left the theater, I went and saw it so I could see what all the hype was about. I literally laughed at every scene. Out of 10, I give it a 4.5. I could sit through it, but I wouldn’t watch it again. Twilight - 0. A Christmas Carol/any other movie - 2.
When we talk about film critics, we’ll strictly stick to the differences in New Moon and A Christmas Carols. New Moon didn’t get the ratings it hoped for and came out with a 4/10 and a D, low ratings. A Christmas Carol gets the thumbs up from Roger Ebert with 4 stars. And New Moon coming out with 1 star. Aw, the sparkly vampires lost again. Twilight - 0. A Christmas Carol - 3.
Personal opinion, Twilight is filled with sparkly vampires who are bluish in color and can’t fight the urge to eat his lady friend. Woo hoo. A Christmas Carol is a classic story that has been redone time after time and successfully redone once again with more talented actors and in 3D which is more awesome than a werewolf that looks old-school and not the digital masterpiece we know can be pulled off today. Fail. Twilight - 0. A Christmas Carol/ANY other movie - 4.
And there you have it. Twilight sucks, including the first one and New Moon. And I’m sure the next one will suck too.
I was on the radio the other day discussing Twilight. It hurts me to see someone who wrote a book based on an entity in which was designed to create a sense of fear in everyone by playing tricks on the human’s perceptions of what is real and what is fiction and somehow created an entity in which literally shimmers (in the book, I think Meyers refers to it as Edward looking like a crystal in which when the sun hit him, rainbows cascaded from his body). Honestly, Stoker is rolling in his grave, perhaps causing the influx of so many hurricanes in recent days.
I have read a portion of the book. It’s dainty and I suppose a read for a kid who may not be into reading but none-the-less, it should be aimed for children or preteens. It astounded me to find out that Stephanie Meyers, the one who created this vampire movement, had intentionally created this for people her age when she wrote it (for those counting, that would be for the people 25-30 years old). So, if it had been for the older crowd, why am I seeing women who are 40 or so years old, lusting after Taylor (Jacob in the film) who happens to be 17 (16 in the film). Excuse me but pedophilia isn’t restricted to just men and it makes me sick to my stomach to see these women saying things like, “Oh my God, he’s so hot,” and “Look at this picture in which he’s so wet and his muscles are… And God, that tattoo!” Am I the only one seeing the problem here?
It sucks to know that as a aspiring well-known writer, and knowing many wonderful writers personally, that such bullshit can produce a best seller when writers like Brad Listi and the like can’t even find their books on the East Coast!
I mean, Twilight is a good idea in the sense that it gets young girls to read but for what cost? To get them only to fantasize over kissing something that was intentionally only involved with someone to eat them? Did Stephanie Meyers even read Dracula? Or did she just watch the film?
Newsflash: Vampires don’t fall in love. They don’t kiss and they definitely don’t procreate (nor have sex). Sex is the bite. Sex is the penetration of the skin and sucking what is left of them. They don’t love. They simply take and move on when there isn’t anything left of you.
Now without further ado, let’s write a real piece of fiction in which Edward bites the hell out of Bella and then leaves her for Jacob until everyone has been sucked dry. At least then we can have action beyond, “No Jacob! Don’t hurt Edward! I love him!” Jesus Christ. Give me a break.
