OverRated

I can't stand R movies. I grew up being taught I should avoid them. But my rebel self had to try them out. Worst. Things. Ever. All of them gave me nightmares or made me want to cry, including the comedies. I swore I'd stop watching them.

Then I came to college. For one class, all the required movies were rated R. I wasn't doing so good in the class so I decided to just suck it up and watch some. They made me feel sick and honestly it wasn't worth the grade. Those nasty things are stuck in my head. So, I swore that I'd never watch another R movie for school again.

Welp, in my social psych class we watched a movie that related to what we were learning. It was called One Flew Over the Cookoos Nest. Something like that. I'd never heard of it before, and didn't even think that it was R. I'm used to having permission slips for that, the real world is crazy. It was interesting at first I guess. But then again, it wasn't. The language was crazy. And the plot was messed up and disturbing in the second half. Right now, I feel sick to my stomach. I can't get the images out of my head. I can't do it. I can't keep having this filth get in my head. Its not ok.

I don't care why it's rated R. I don't care why. But there's something about R movies that I can't handle. This is the last straw. Next time I'm walking out. I can't do them, and I'm not getting swayed anymore. R movies are overrated.

    I find this post so interesting. I like it :) You gotta follow your heart, you know? I think it's particularly interesting that you wouldn't ever have realized how much you don't like R movies if you hadn't seen some.

    But definitely stick to your guns. Your teachers should be accommodating if you're not willing to watch R rated movies, especially since you can cite it as sincerely held religious beliefs.

    I, a devout Christian, watch R rated movies. Not the "comedies" that are super gross (exception: We're the Millers. It was legitimately hilarious and not too bad, except for 2 nude scenes in which I closed my eyes.) The only rated R movies I actually watch are war films, like The Patriot and We Were Soldiers.

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...

I'm not going to waste time talking about why I have a blog or how this is my first new blog post, because I like to have faith in the human race and the fact that they can read and can interpret these things on there own. I mean, there aren't any posts under this one so obviously this is my first new post. And having a blog is not a mandatory thing to live so one could hypothetically conclude that this is for fun. That is hypothetically speaking of course. I just used 89 words explaining why I didn't need to explain something. I hope I counted that right. Anyways.  Three years ago today on a rainy day I remember being in a basement with a bunch of little people and adults for a scout thing. And I remember them talking about how a certain friend of mine was going to be a senior and how that's so crazy. I was just going to be a freshman at the time and thought I was the coolest thing since duct tape. (Sorry sliced bread, duct tape is waay cooler.) Now that friend is get...
