Breaking Dawn Part 2

I never put my hair up because my ears get cold. Well, just tie a scarf around your head and problem solved.

I never knew you could buy movie tickets early until my beloved J.P told me!


So, Friday I saw Breaking Dawn part 2 and it was definitely a night to remember! Definitely the best movie in the whole series. I was awed at how great of a job they did bringing everything together, the title sequences alone blew my mind at how artistically they were able to show the part of the book that movie starts of on, where Bella's just laying there turning into a vampire. It was amazing. I'm seeing it again this week, just by the way. They twist blew my mind and had Sammy screaming and me furiously chowing down on popcorn. For some reason it helped with the intense moment. Haha!

But first off. Not only was it an amazing movie, but it was an amazing date. Can I just say that I have the best boyfriend ever who will take me to go see Twilight? And he actually likes it? When Sammy came down to get me, I was not ready for our date. I was still in my fancy clothes from my honors classes and my stomach hurt from being in fancy clothes all day. I hurriedly got changed, and then realized, there was no way I was going to make it wearing real pants. So I changed into sweat pants. Sammy being the great man he is, thought I still looked cute. He also didn't get frustrated as I ran around my dorm like a crazy woman, trying to get everything done. I had to brush my teeth and pee and pack my purse and all those great things. Sammy was cute and packed my purse, bringing everything even down to two sticks of gum.

Oh. I also had to make my own shirt. I put duct tape over my worn I <3 NY shirt, and made it say I <3 My Edward with an arrow pointing to Sammy. I thought it was clever.

You totally want to hang out with us huh?


Then we were off, walking around the city. I've really come to appreciate just how beautiful it is at night with all the lights and people and such. Felt like we were in a movie. We somehow ended up at every cross walk right when they were at the last seconds and ran across the streets like maniacs. It was great fun.

When we reached the movie theater, we were told that we were too early and had to wait in line outside before we could go into the theater. Never had that happen before, and it honestly stressed me out a bit. But Sammy and I were the first ones in line for a Twilght movie, something I never thought would happen. We took a picture by the sign, but they were all blurry.

Once inside, I was feeling a little bit more of the stress. Sitting down in the theater, Sammy told me to find all the exits, because that's what you do when you're at the movies. I had a little flashback to the last time I was at the movies and that was at the Batman premiere, so I freaked out a little bit after that. But Sammy has my back, so by the time the credits started, we were all good. Me with my popcorn and him with his nachos.

Sammy talked through all the previews and even screamed when the Hobbit came on. A year ago, this would have annoyed me. But now I think it's cute. I may or may not have ruined the entire plot of Les Mis for him when that preview came on as well. . . So we're even ; )

The movie was great and exceeded all my expectations. This time, I really felt like the actors were who they were portraying, it wasn't Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson, it was Edward and Bella. They did a REALLY great job at acting. Have I said that enough? It was just, man. Phenomenal.

You know what's not fair? The lines to the bathrooms after movies. The girls line went all the way out the doors and down the hall, while there was absolutely no line for the guys.

It was a great date night with my best friend :) I loved everything about it. The movie, the music, the scenery, most especially who I was with, and just everything.

Funny story. When I got back to my room, one of my roommates was drunk and asked me how the movie was. So I told her everything that happened, including the huge twist and she was very upset and freaking out. The next morning, she asked me how the movie was again. I asked her if she remembered anything I'd said the night before, to which she said no. So I just said it was good.

Racism, stereotypes, and plain ole judging

Being in a class dedicated to the idea of migration has really kept the idea of racism on the brain. In elementary school, the idea of racism was so defined to me, thinking people are better than others based solely on the color of their skin. It wasn't until middle school after reading many books that I realized racism wasn't jut as issue of black versus white, rather it applies to all cultures. In high school I was actually shocked to here racist statements from people I loved. All the sudden this issue became personal somewhat. (My favorite statement was from a little girl who said, it should be illegal for Mexicans to have babies. I guess I can't have kids then.)  But it wasn't until last week when we did an activity in my public health class that I realized that I myself was being racist as well. Now, this is something I am not proud of. I'm very embarrassed actually and that activity was humbling. Why am I writing about this? Because, it's som...

Toxic Masculinity

It seems like forever ago that they released that Gilette ad about toxic masculinity. I watched as people I'd grown up with freaked out about it, saying that it said that men need to be like women, and that it condemned masculinity altogether, along with other things. I crafted post after post to write on my social media, but in the end didn't bother writing anything. I didn't feel like arguing with people. But I had to share my thoughts somewhere, so here they are.  To me, toxic masculinity is exactly what it says-- ideals of masculinity that are toxic. It's telling your son that he needs to suck it up and not cry. That he can get away with more than girls because 'boys will be boys.' The idea that he can't read or watch certain media because it's "for girls." At the same time, girls are asked to watch things that are "for boys" all of the time. It's the idea that men need to repress their feelings. That they can't be sc...

Little Bit o Writing Monday

The beginning of my short story for class.  When Dora's son tugged on her pants leg, the last thing she expected was to see him holding a tooth. A tooth that clearly did not belong to him. She was no dentist, but she was smart enough to know the colossal thing couldn't have come from Mark's mouth. “Mark, where did you find that?” Dora scolded. “In the backyard.” “Show me where,” Dora commanded. Excited, Mark ran out to the backyard, Dora following on his heels. He led her over to the back of the yard, to the particular corner that couldn't be seen from the kitchen window. There, her other two children were gathered around a hole in the ground. Hole was an understatement though, they'd obviously been working on this, pit, for quite sometime. If there had been no tooth, Dora would have sat the kids down and explained how digging holes this deep was dangerous because of all the water, electric, and who knows what else lines were under the ...
