My new obsession...

So Christopher thank you so so very very much for those mix CDs that you gave me over the summer! They are currently all I listen to in the car and I'm in love with them! Come Thanksgiving I need you to tell me everyone that you put on my CDs & make me some more CDs :). But my current obsession is the one, the only, JONSI!!!

Seriously, I'm in love with this album <3

Welcome to movies with Brooke

I would like to give my professional critique on The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

First off I did not see any "perks" whatsoever in this movie. If the perk is getting stoned and occasionally getting laid in a make-out setting then all right, however, we will agree to disagree on these "perks". Now my professional critique is as follows:

Was the movie filmed well? Yes, I actually really enjoyed the cinematography, even if it did remind me of The Social Network. Both are kind of dark story lines and so are filmed in a darker setting than would be normal; all the shots had an old memory feel. Everything felt like it was damp, like how when you soak something in water and it's darker.

Was the acting good? Yes, it definitely wasn't bad acting. I just felt awkward. Let me be specific, I felt awkward watching them, they made ME feel awkward. 

How were the actors? The main three actors, Logan Lerman, Emma Watson, and Ezra Miller were good. Their characters were very interesting, rather complex. Individually I liked them, all together however and as we got further into the story I just found myself getting tired of them. I can only watch high school going a rye for so long. 

How did it make me feel? Honestly, it made me happy that I have values and a strong Mormon background and support in my life. As I watched it all I could think was "This isn't high school. This isn't high school. It's so much better than this!" My hands never left my face for the whole movie.

You want my advice? DON'T SEE THIS MOVIE, TRUST ME!!!

Without further gilding the lily....

What I get to hear in Film:

"Can't you all see Brooke waving at us from a yacht? She's going to leave us and live on a boat."

"I'm writing Brooke's name down on the ballot. I'd vote for Brooke, wouldn't you?"

"Brooke is the Grace Kelly of this class. She would make kissing classy."

"She is the James Dean of Mormons."

Thank you Film, you make me feel so good about myself!

Español?

So it seems that Spanish teachers and I have a little bit of a misunderstanding of some kind. I seriously must have some disease that affects Spanish teachers. In the staff room there's probably a picture of me saying: WARNING DISEASE CAUSING AGENT, REPEAT DISEASE CAUSING AGENT!!! You may wonder why I say this? I say this because last year my Spanish teacher decided to leave us for around 6 months, due to family issues and the like; so my substitute teacher felt more like my teacher and my teacher more like my substitute teacher. Kinda weird, but seriously what are the chances of it happening again?

Well this year I had my Spanish teacher, Sr. Moreno, for seriously, a week. ONE WEEK!! I have had a sub ever since, that's been what, over a month now?! And he's not coming back as far as I or anyone else can tell.

Basically I don't think that I was meant to learn Spanish, but at this point I don't think any of the French or German teachers would take me in considering my reputation.

Sincerely,

Sick in Spanish

Annoyed.....

Alright so I'm just slightly annoyed and I thought that I would voice my frustrations to you. I hope Christopher, Brendan, and David that you never did this! So homecoming is in a few weeks and my friends are starting to get asked. Well I've been informed by more than one source that there is someone who is going to ask me, well why hasn't he asked me yet? He's had, seriously, like a week, why don't I have a firm date yet?!
