My Sister's Keeper

The book was absolutely amazing and brought on many tearful moments that were hidden so no one around could see, but in the theater last night I do not think that I have ever heard so many people crying at once. This movie was absolutely heart wrenching and was wonderful at the same time. I do not know how this is possible. The book was certainly much better than the movie, which was done the best as it could be done. I recommend it all of you out there, and if you go see this movie expect to come out of it questioning what is fair in life and needing oh I would say at least a box of Kleenex. It is an absolute tear jerker that even guys will enjoy, but still is able to posses those tender moments that bring smiles to everyone's faces... I'd say "let's go see it together", but I am not sure that I can handle another breakdown of how unfair things are after ;) Overall I would definitely give it a go

TODD.

so Todd is pretty much awesome. he is the only thing that keeps me going sometimes. YES, he wakes me sometimes in the wee early hours of the a.m. and has lots of hair that covers his whole entire body, but he loves me and I love him. yesterday i decided it was time for a haircut. and well now he looks like an overgrown hamster...EVEN THOUGH when you became my pup you were like half the size of your probably four pound self. he rocks and he is probably going to make the next stage of life a little more interesting and challenging but he's cute and who would want to get rid of that face! KEEP TERRORIZING THE WORLD LITTLE MAN :)

SUNDAY? please.

so sunday used to be my most favorite day of the week. oh how that has changed. I have decided that i almost hate it. i have no desire to do the uplifting things that i once participated in and find myself feeling even more gloomy. i know if i just went to church and pretended to be happy it all come into place, but really the fool that tells you to "fake it 'til you make it" has never had to fake it. faking it brings even more a sense of helplessness and hopelessness than was there when a person just accepts the fact that maybe this is the way that life is supposed to be. i don't know i could be wrong, but that is how i feel. i will never try to tell someone that it really isn't as bad as we all know it is again in hopes that it will fool the poor soul who wants out of their horrible situation. IT ALWAYS IS AS BAD AS WE THINK. and yes don't get me wrong i know that it could be a million times worse so i am thankful that its only as bad as it is and i don't live someone's life who is unlucky enough to less fortunate than i am at the moment. I know things will get better... but when. I am impatient and don't like the guessing game. so please don't keep me guessing.- A

WHAT NOW?

so i've found myself in a world of confusion and uncertainty lately. and i don't know what the heck is going on and i've decided it sucks. and people suck. that's right, it has taken me 21 almost 22 years to realize that people freakin SUCK. no one really cares about you, and if they do its because they profit off of you in some twisted way. you know what. i don't give care what YOU think anymore. take me or leave me the way that i am with all of my flaws and quirks and if that is not good enough you can freakin get out... i'm not playing peoples games anymore.

WEDDING.

so lets see i guess i should start by saying... 19 days ago i got married! AND let me tell you it has been craziness ever since. its a big adjustment and then throw in finals and work and its enough to make someone go crazy, but i haven't reached totally crazy yet. last night was commencement for ASU and brandon graduates this year so we got to go to see President Obama speak. let me just say that he is an amazing motivational speaker. i actually think I forgot that he is the president, and not just some random speaker they hired. AMAZING :D

frustration.

Okay so Obama was victorious on November 4, and I could not be happier... lets hope that Obama can provide us with the change we NEED. I believe he can give it to us! but lets talk about a little thing I like to call workplace politics. APPARENTLY someone in the office I work in was offended by a conversation a few of us were having, and went to management! They stated that our conversations are off color and on going... what the heck? The individual stated that we made the statement and I am quoting here "certain races don't deserve federal aid... along with gays" first off WHAT?? really? Lets face it: I am pretty conservative when it comes to things I normally talk about...I don't like risque conversation, it makes me uncomfortable. I normally just sit at my desk and mind my own business occasionally standing up to talk to a few people around me. I really think that people need to stop trying to listen in on what other people are talking about, misunderstanding what was said, and then getting on their high horse and going to management. quit sucking up you freakin babies.

HALLOWEEN...

was anything but ordinary. I spent some time with my long lost friends! Brad, the Nudist, came and picked me up and then we kidnapped Collin, the Mobster, went to some CRAZY asian themed Halloween spectacular show and headed to Tempe. Once we crossed city boundaries, we met up with Ariana and went and partied on the roof top. Not as exciting as it sounds. There were probably 6 Sarah Palin/ John McCain combos. By far the most popular costume. We mingled for a bit and then gathered the group, picked up Bridget and headed to Rockin R, which I normally would be against, seeing as how I am a HORRIBLE dancer, but I was in costume so it really did not matter. I put my shades on and danced. It was pretty awesome...oh except I wanted to CUT my feet off. but yeah, we danced into the night and made a little midnight stop at IHOP.
