Well for you information, my back went off. I mean, it is titanium so it makes sense. Whatever.
Anyway. I have really nothing else to talk about so I'm just going to do a movie review. First up:
THE DARK KNIGHT. This movie was, how you say, Amazing with a capital a. Christian Bale pulled in another spectacular performance and I really like Michael Caine. I'm a sucker for the Brits, what can I say? Heath Ledger's performance was one of the best I have ever seen in his ever convincing role of the Joker. The cinematography was practically perfect, the lightning just great! However I will say Maggie Gyllenhall's performance wasn't all that memorable-probably equal to that of Katie Holmes'. Other than the cinema side of it, the movie was all around good. Some people complain because it's too long, almost three hours I'll never get back of my life. One comeback: Never base a movie off of its length for it makes no sense. Besides it got a 94% on Rotten Tomatoes which is enough said in itself.
MAMMA MIA. So this movie was rated PG-13 for 'some innuendo.' Yeah, ok, they went a little overboard with the innuendo. Enough is enough. The music was great-I personally thought it did ABBA justice. I was actually surprised at how good the music/choreography was considering no one knew Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, or Amanda Seyfried could sing. The overall disappointment in this was the ending-come on! (warning Spoilers!) Sophie never got married after all of her wedding plans but Donna did. The cast included some pretty big names and the acting was overall good. Meryl Streep's performance was exceptional, I thought. The movie was all in all, OK but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it.
So that's all for my movie review... That's probably three minutes you'll never get back of your life so for that I apologize.

This Really Cool Person Named Amy and a Late Tribute to my Father from Father's Day
There is this person in my church. Her name is Amy. Oh my bob, she is soooo annoying. I can't stand her. HAHA JUST KIDDING. (I got several of you guys there, didn't I?) No. Seriously. Amy is amazing. I don't think I've ever told her what I truly think about her so let me do so now. All alliterations aside, Amy is absolutely amazing. She's my other half, she completes me. She is the AWE to my Awesome. She's so nice (everyone knows that, including Amy) and whenever I'm with her, she just makes me happy. It's impossible to be sad around Amy, she's bubbly like soap! I love her for all that she is, even though I don't deserve someone like her, she loves musicals (which I detest), is a major band geek, and is very clumsy. :P What can I say, she's perfect for me.
Now about my dad. My dad is...well-rounded. I think that's a good way to describe him. He's really intelligent. He knows everything. Well maybe not 'everything' but he's pretty close to it. And if he doesn't know something, he's always willing to learn to broaden his already extensive knowledge. He's very handy (like around the house concerning mechanics, construction, and all that good stuff) and if I ever get married, my husband better be as handy as my father or else we will have some MAJOR issues. He's also very strong, physically and spiritually. When he lets me help him on projects, I'll tighten a screw with my faced all distorted and think it's the tightest it could ever be. Then my dad comes along and says, "Oh good job, yeah that's pretty tight," then proceeds to turn it four more times. My dad also has this great sense of humor. I think that's where I get it from...like the heavy sarcasm...the dry humor...the cheesy humor. Yeah, all from my dad. I also get my extremely good looks from my dad. (Haha) My dad is just great, he is the paradigm of what a father should be. I love that guy. Now many of you may be wondering what I gave my father for Father's Day...well I think it was a pretty darn good gift. I gave him.........a kiss on the cheek! Yeah! Saved myself like twenty bucks. All right!

I Really Have Nothing to Blog About but I felt I had to Post Something...
So yeah. I'm MAD at a certain person right now. COUGHSAMANTHACOUGH. WHAT in this world is she doing reading like 5 other books when she's supposed to be reading AMND????? That is just inconceivable to me. I don't get it. SAMANTHA THIS WAS YOUR CRAZY IDEA SO YOU BETTER FOLLOW THROUGH WITH ANDREA AND I OR ELSE YOU WILL BE LAME. So there! Finish AMND so we can start on the next play. STAT!
Today is Friday. I like Fridays. They're really good days. Andrea (and for Samantha when she finishes AMND), we're reading a history next. We're reading Henry VI, part 1. OK? Sounds like fun. Shakespeare reading party, tomorrow maybe? I might call you if I remember. Tchuess.

Not So Exciting but Nonetheless, Something to Blog About
Only 13 more days left of school. (not that anyone is counting...) This summer is going to be awesome/killer. Like as in the killer killer, not the slang meaning of cool. For one, I am no longer attending Quiz Bowl Camp. It is being replaced with something so incredibly dorky that I can't even bring myself to put it on my blog. However I will say that it involves a lot of reading classic literature such as Hamlet (which I finished in like, 9 hours) and A Midsummer's Night Dream and 35 others. So yes. Now I will blog about Hamlet. I have read Romeo and Juliet and must say that I did not care for it. I mean, both title characters were so nonsensical and impulsive. (And true love at first sight is basically non-existent.) But I do confess that I kind of liked Hamlet. For one, I liked the plot better than Romeo and Juliet. Another thing I liked was the ending. Endings don't get much better than killing like four people in one scene. Ophelia, however, was just plain Weird with a capital w. I mean, she drowned because she fell into this water and was singing these loud, bawdy songs and didn't bother to realize the fact her clothes were getting saturated and she was DRoWNinG. Hamlet was a cool protagonist and I loved the fact that everyone thought he was crazy/mad. Anyway. Tomorrow is Memorial Day and I'm not doing much of anything except reading A Midsummer's Night Dream. Well, I have to go do homework. 'Til the next post, ciao.

My Life...
I didn't know what to blog about. So I asked my brother. He told me to blog about stupid girls or something. I decided not to. Instead, I'll just give you a brief overview of my life right now.
I just took three quizzes on The Odyssey and two vocabulary quizzes. Totally aced the vocab quizzes considering I already knew half the words. The Odyssey quiz is a different story... I think I pretty much failed it. Well, I didn't really answer two questions so it's at least a B. I have to take a quiz in math tomorrow. I still have 2 more to make up in math then I have a mid-term to make up in science. Being out of school for 4 weeks is not as fun as it may sound. I just recently finished Pride and Prejudice... *sigh*. One can never read that book too many times. Today was my first full day back at school. I'm pretty tired. Only 16 more days left of school. I have a 4 day week this week and I'm pretty excited. This summer I am attending two camps and two family reunions. I have a church camp I'm attending then another camp that is extremely geeky. It's so geeky I'm not allowed to mention it on my blog in order to keep my reputation. *coughsamcough* I am reading a biography on Jane Austen as of this moment. I like Jane Austen, just not this biographer. She isn't very good. So that's my exciting life... ?
