The Dark Knight (updated)

While on vacation, I decided to see it again. I didn't like it too well the first time, but it was also late at night, so I thought if I saw it during the day, and since it was the second time, maybe it would grow on me a bit. Nope. The joker was way too creepy both times. Surprisingly enough, two-face wasn't too bad, but man, the joker *shudders*. I did realize though that the ending really redeemed what I didn't like about the rest of the movie. They went pretty in depth about how sometimes what we deserve is not what we need. I like that. So, overall, no it's not a movie I wanna own, but I will say that I don't regret seeing it, or paying for full price for it for that matter. :) I have now seen it a third time(my friend Kayla was paying and that's what she wanted to see, so we did) and realized that my aversion to it the second time was largely due to the fact that I was alone.I t wasn't so bad this last time. So my conclusion is: don't go see it alone, and don't see it too late at night. You'll like it better that way. I think it's also starting to grow on me since I've seen it three times. :)

more choices

I've realized recently that the major I picked, English with an emphasis on secondary Education, may not be what I really want to major in. I though about it and I realized that although I like English, and wouldn't mind being a teacher, the real reason I chose it is because it would be an easy degree for me to get. I don't know for certain what I DO want to major in, but psychology has come up before, so I've decided to at least give it a thought. The more I've thought about it, the more it makes sense. I like studying people, and I like hearing their stories. The fact that all, or many of my friends, have serious problems and that I've been through some things that weren't particularly easy either(although, granted, no where near what they went through)how I'm finally dealing with it, and my desire to help people also seems to point me in that direction. The fact that these people seem to be drawn to me(well, me to them too, but still, we become friends, and then they tell me their problems)kinda makes me think. The fact that I've survived in tact, and not too depressed, or otherwise pulled down, by the fact that these people are some of my closest friends means, to me, that I have a certain strength in that area. I don't know, but it just seems like it might be worth looking into. For now, I'm gonna stick with the classes and major I have, just so I don't wind up with no major, and no classes(or too few, a problem either way). But prayer for me as I decide and check this out would be greatly appreciated. :)

update

Just to let all of you know, the blood results came back and I don't have hypoglycemia, and they tested me at the Dr.'s office, and I don't really have asthma either. so I guess we'll just wait and see if anything else pops up, and otherwise just try to make sure I eat right

why?

Why does it seem that when everything is finally going right, a bomb (or in my case a few) gets dropped in your lap? Why is it that the people you are closest to are the ones who are soonest to push you away when they start to make the wrong decisions? and WHY WHY WHY can't I stop caring? I know it's not helping me to continue to try to reason with her, and I know that no matter what I say it won't make a difference, but I don't wanna see her get hurt, and I just can't stop myself. I am praying for her, but I also wish she would just realize that I'm not out to get her, nor am I jealous of her happiness. Why can't I make the difference in people's lives that I thought I could? and why is this affecting me so much?

What a day!

I woke up this morning with less time to get everything done I wanted to because I got called into work. This of course added unneeded stress to my day. Which put me in sort of a bad mood, but at least I got all the important things done before I had to leave. Then, on the way to work, someone rear-ended me. Now, this is the amazing part, there was NO DAMAGE to the car!!! And it got hit by an explorer. Even more funny is that the Explorer did get hurt, the license plate got ripped out of the from bumper. :p Then, at work, this 30-40 year old guy( I don't exactly how old he is because I'd never seen him before) asked me out. I told him no, but still, creepy right? Then, on my way back, I stopped at Vons to deposit my paycheck and get some strawberries. As I was leaving, the traffic was soooo ridiculous it took me TEN MINUTES to get out of the parking lot. I'm glad the day is almost over, and I just relax. *whew*

On a Happier Note

I saw Moulin Rouge for the time on Sunday. I LOVED IT!!! My friend Kate has it, so she let me borrow it, and I've watched it a couple of times now. The music is amazing, and although the storyline is sad, the acting is wonderful. Kinda silly in parts, but it's not the kind of silly you're supposed to take seriously, it's the kind of silly, that knows it's dumb, and just does it anyway to make you laugh at how stupid it is. While I'm doing a sort of movie reviews post, I might as well talk about P.S. I Love You too. Sweet story line, complete surprise ending, at least in part, and the acting is pretty good. Some content, unfortunately, and not all of it is flash backs of her and her husband, but it's rated pg-13, so I guess that's why. Love it. One of my new favorite movies. Another good movie, Enchanted. Cute. No, more than cute, adorable. Charming, family friendly. Everything you'd expect a good old fashioned Disney movie to be. Except it's not old fashioned. :P Girly movie though. The guys are probably not gonna wanna watch this one. Course, then again, all of the movies I'm talking about right now are chick flicks, so that last comment doesn't really apply. Ummm, I guess that's all for now. :)

My Dad...

has appendicitis. I found out tonight a few hours after they took him in. They didn't know for sure for a while, but they are sure now, and are taking him in for surgery tonight. Depending on whether or not there is infection, he could be in the hospital for a couple of days to a week. Apparently, appendicitis is not usually a big deal as long as the appendix has not ruptured, so he should be fine, but just pray for him, and the doctors. The the surgery goes/went well, and that no complications have occurred.
