why oh why

i know, it's nuts.

i love balloonshop more than words can express. I THINK... I THINK THEY MAY HAVE CALLED IT QUITS. this is the worst. i mean i know good things can't last forever but i am going to sit on my butt and sulk/cry/barf about it anyway.

today i saw "how to train your dragon" for the third time in theaters and even the third time around i am ASTOUNDED by how good and beautiful and hilarious and cute it is GOSH i want to be a part of something that good so badly. to my imaginary audience... see this movie.

i am sad that it came out the same year as toy story 3 because of course ts3 is going to win best animation of the year. but it's not fair because ts3 began so long ago and has a following- but how to train your dragon was one of the most original things to happen in the past decade. the story/concept were soo charming and perfect. it's dreamworks- and lots of dreamworks movies are eh because they lack the family-oriented discretion that disney and pixar have. lots of times in movies like shrek there will be mature jokes that kind of make me cringe cos i know there are children in the audience. but in how to train your dragon i was so delighted to hear the little kids squeal in the audience at the pure humor and the beauty of the animation throughout the entire movie. this is a movie i would buy to own. i wish every movie director/animation director put that much heart and thought and love into their work.

speaking of which avatar:the last airbender the movie was a joke hahaha. 8 % on rotten tomatoes but i can't start talking about that or i will never stop. so i will just stick with saying i am absolutely speechless. this review says it perfectly, that it "would be blissfully forgettable if it weren't so blazingly incompetent."

the night before last night i had a very interesting dream and i haven't finished writing about it but i think i have come to think that it isn't very important to write it down because it has served its purpose. god acts in mysterious and awesome ways. MAKIN STRIDES YO

i read the first page of the first harry potter book today derp derp derp and i read the first page of "the master plan of evangelism" yesterday too AND IT'S SO DIFFICULT THAT I WANT TO READ LIKE 4 BOOKS AT ONCE and never know where to start urgh.

the master plan of evangelism

harry potter (hannah and i had a pact that i would read them this summer)

red scarf girl (my little brother really wants me to read this - about communism in china and how it sucks)

and of course the one year bible i am plowing through at about 3 pages per night? i want it all at once but i am very slow and i read it before bed and usually can't understand what i'm reading after about 7 minutes. i just want to be as honest as possible about this so that i can be real with myself and change it. of course i am also taking it very slow that i understand exactly what i am reading but at this rate i will finish it like 100000 years from now. i want to be more diligent about this. there's no reason why i can't be.

i wrote a letter today whilst sipping tea. i hope that makes me classy. next year i will have no choice but to be classy because our apartment is wicked cool. I AM SO STOKED.

i hope hannah is safe in mexicooo and i hope nicole is safe in our empty, empty apartment.

going white water rafting tomorrow or something probably going to die

ok bibi
