YAY!

God's the awesomest.

Jesus-mas

I feel home-sick for a Christmas I haven't had with my family for 12 years.

I was watching some Buffalo program channel, and they were showing how Christmas is celebrated in different countries. My favourite was definitely in.. I'm going to say Switzerland, but it may have been Belgium.. anyways, THERE, each house is assigned a day of Christmas and the house is responsible for decorating their window according to the day. For Example, if you were given 13, you would decorate your window with some type of scene, like the wise men following a star. Also, after a nice dinner and opening gifts, the family would gather around and listen to the grandfather read the family bible.
I wish we could do that at my house... but.. you know.

And then I go to the store and realize this country, or at least Toronto, is lucky if ANYONE does anything like that.
The "Christmas" we have here isn't even called that, it's labeled as XMAS and has a price tag .

I'm sorry, but if you want to take Christ out of "Christ's Mass".. you should take out the "mass" part too and just call it "this time we get off work and school that has no meaning except to make you feel obligated to buy things from stores that overcharge you"

No Fresh Air = Weird Nights..

Kay, so WIERDEST thing happened on Sunday morning.
I woke up thinking that my dream was real of how my parents asked me if i wanted to watch a movie called MADAME.
So in my dream i imdb'ed it that day and found out it was from 1993 and was this kind of twisted love story.

So when i woke up, i thought to myself, "hey i should write a story with a plot related to that of the movie" (cause it was a good movie).. "but too bad it's already taken."
When i started to wake up and realise my surroundings, I jumped out of bed (ignoring the bloodrush that obscured my vision) and ran to get my notebook to write down the story.
After I wrote the actual dream's story, i wrote my own, more appealing, version to use for future reference if I ever needed an idea for a story.
But i really don't know if i'll use my modified version because i feel as if i would be cheating the story of the movie from my dream...


Huh..
so i got up finally and told my mom what happened. She said it must have been really hot in my room and i had to no air... thanks mom...

So later that day i was bored so I imdb'ed MADAME(1993) and two movies came up. One from 2006 and another from 1993. Well that's wierd... So i clicked the 1993 one, only to find out that it was about a reporter who was doing a story on a brothel, so to speak, and was later fired from her job, and ends up working there.

-CREEEPY...



So that was my Sunday.

death is sad.

Anya Marina sings Whatever You Like better. I almost like it.

Can't put my finger on it.

I've been feeling really strange lately.. almost sad, and yet not. But yesterday i was in such a happy state that i didn't know what to do with myself. I guess i'm just strange that way. But i think the happiness was due to one of two reasons:
- a Jesus talk, or
- green tea happy pills



I've been so overloaded with homework lately that i just stopped doing it. It never ends anyways, so why bother right?

But i also realized that i am really content right now. I would not change where i am now for almost anything.

And im super excited to go watch a professional ballet on saturday: the Sleeping Beauty.
It's going to be magical.



so basically im in a soup of emotions....

T.Dot

So, i applied to this program that is meant to inform you on the different arts- well, stage arts... and i thought it would be a little sketchy cause, well, its free.. and why would a not-government funded organization do that?

But the first day (orientation) was pretty cool.. so my uneasyness is basically gone.. and i made ALOT of new friends- which was one of my goals in joining the program by myself, to start off with.



The first actual performance we will watch is a play called Antigone at SoulPepper Theatre (which i've never been) , and it has to do with Greek mythological Oedipus, whose story i know, more or less, but mostly about his daughter, who also commits suicide, like her father, and how the man who loves her commits suicide as well.
-lots of suicides, or is it just me?

Hm..

It's kinda funny



I find that whenever i expect so much from something or someone.. I'm always disappointed



but when i don't expet much.. alot of the time, God will do something amazing.

-p.s. if you're wondering, im reffering to the fall retreat at ebc, and church in a box at redeemer university - definetely somewhere to visit if you can!



Haha, speaking of which, we'll see how Bright Star goes tommorow!

(cause im expecting ALOT from that movie)



YAY! i'm so excited though, considering how i've been practically dying to watch it!

but thats more because it's EXACTLY my type of movie

But also for reasons that do not include the facts that it is a true story, clearly a chick flick and has mr. british dreamy boy

but also because it's directed by a woman (something very rare)

AND (my favourite detail would be) that the girl is not the ideal beauty.

it just adds so much to it all!

omy, this is going to be a hard year
especially with some other things bouncing around my head.

all 3 sciences, ADVANCED MATH (termed - aka twice a day) , eng, world relig., and gym

have mercy on me Lord.. i NEEEEEED your help.



on the upside, Regina Spektor concert rocked :)

arg!

And again, why are not I in England?
the movie Dorian Grey came out/ will come out everywhere but Canada

BUT.. to make up for that, it was playing at TIFF on Friday...

which makes me feel ever to peachy since I missed it



isn't Ben Barnes just adorable?

I LOVE Disney

These past few days i have been doing a disney marathon while i have been down with a cold.



Maybe it was the drugs, but i think i love and aprreciate the works of the Grimm Brothers and Mr. Walt Disney more than i have ever before.
Those men will always live on as geniuses/genii to me.






...and can i just say that the songs are MARVELOUS (and had me clapping by the end of some)













OKAY that being said, I wanted to share this website I found.
