One of he WORST movies EVER: Spiderman 3 !!!!!!

I was excited for it, cause I really enjoyed the first two. SO, I went with Nick and his sister to go see the midnight showing.............O.....M....G......................

Let me break it down for you:

Horrendous acting (It took a nosedive from the first two movies)
Kirstin Dunst sings... (and her voice was so digitally enhanced it was a joke)
Emo Spiderman (im not kidding, he does the hair flip and everything)
Extremely cheesy (and not the good cheesy either, but the "you''ve got to be kidding" cheesy)
Kirstin Dunst sings...again (oh god not again)
The writing was absurd and ridiculous (It must have been written by a ten year old)
From what I heard, weird things changed from the comic (that didn't make it better, but worse)
Soooooooo Looooooong (you know it's long when at the end the audience says, "Thank god!")

I could go on from there, but I'll stop cause I am just sad that I wasted a Thursday night seeing this crap.

The only cool part was the character of Venom, not Topher Grace's character, but the digitally enhanced one. It was scary as hell, and I wished the whole movie was about him instead of the last ten minutes.

Don't believe me?

If you are planning on seeing this movie, I wish you the best of luck. (You are gonna need it to sit through the whole thing)

The Sonnet Deliberate Gentle Love Dreamer (DGLDf) Romantic, hopeful, and composed. You are the Sonnet. Get it? Composed? Sonnets want Love and have high ideals about it. They're conscientious people, caring & careful. You yourself have deep convictions, and you devote a lot of thought to romance and what it should be. This will frighten away most potential mates, but that's okay, because you're very choosy with your affections anyway. You'd absolutely refuse to date someone dumber than you, for instance. Your exact opposite: Genghis Khunt Random Brutal Sex Master Lovers who share your idealized perspective, or who are at least willing to totally throw themselves into a relationship, will be very, very happy with you. And you with them. You're already selfless and compassionate, and with the right partner, there's no doubt you can be sensual, even adventurously so. You probably have lots of female friends, and they have a special soft spot for you. Babies do, too, at the tippy-top of their baby skulls.

I know, I know. I haven't written in a hell of a long time. But my schedule is gonna be so so busy with my classes and then play rehearsals from 6 pm to 11 pm Mon-Fri, and then 9 am to 1 pm on Saturdays. But I am very happy with my classes and the play I am in, so it's all good.

I'm so excited for Biology of Plants, my science credit. I wanted no math whatsoever, and so this was my best option. But I love plants anyways, and my teacher is really nice, so it should be pretty easy and fun! Dramatic Analysis is gonna be probably more of a tough class, but basically all of my theatre friends are in there, including my Nick, so those classes should be a blast. Intro to Psych is gonna just be a class that I have to get out of the way. I didn't really like it in high school, but my teacher seems a lot better so hopefully i'll find it more interesting. Computer Lit is gonna be a breeze, and then Acting II: Scene Study should be fun as well.

Today has been such a fantastic day!!! My first class was at 10:40, so I got to wake up at 9:00. AND I woke up early, so I got to lay in bed for a half hour w/o having to hear the annoying alarm, so I wasn't sleepy at all. I had time to finish a paper due Thursday. I didn't procrastinate!! So far my New Year's resolution is working!! lol. We'll see how it goes. Then In my Bio Plants class my teacher said that there were no labs this week, meaning I only had one other class from 4:40 to 5:55 today, and Friday's class was cancelled, meaning I have no classes on Friday and I can sleep!!! whoo hoo! So now today I have time to pick up some stuff from Walgreens and try to get some other homework done early.

On Jan 27th it'll have been four months that Nick and I have been together, my longest as well as only relationship ever, lol, and they have been the happiest four months of my life. We are so incredibly DIFFERENT in every way, but we complement eachother perfectly. I think I just never had a boyfriend because no one would have been good for me and so it would have been a waste of time. We are perfect for eachother and I am so thankful that I have him in my life. These dorm beds may be small, but it is so nice when neither of us have classes to be able to fall asleep and wake up next to him. I felt alone my entire life, and it's wonderful not having to feel that anymore.

I'm sitting in my English class right now, thinking about how I could punch my teacher in the face without ketting in trouble...

okay, so tonight was opening night of the play that I am in. It's a night of four one-act plays, and I am in the one called "Journalistic Integrity" and it went so well!!

Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday
Free candy on Halloween
7:00 PM
at the Prism Theatre
(If you are interested, just ask me for directions)

ALSO, guess what??? So I get this call the other day, and its the director from one of the other one-acts. He wrote and is performing in this other play. One of the actresses can't perform in it because she is pregnant. He was looking for someone to fill the role, and he said that my director and the writer of my play highly reccommended me!! He also said he saw me in auditions and at rehearsals and really wanted me to be in it! So now I am in a play with ALL ASU upper classman. it's kinda intimidating, you know, when they ask, "oh, you're a freshman?" and yet, I feel really awesome that I am the only freshman in this cast!!! and my role is a pretty big one too!!! I'm so excited!!! .................... I LOVE ACTING!!!!!!!!!!!!

And last but not least......I never knew it was possible to feel this way about someone:

"Brighter than Sunshine" - Aqualung

I never understood before
I never knew what love was for
My heart was broke, my head was sore
What a feeling

Tied up in ancient history
I didnt believe in destiny
I look up you're standing next to me
What a feeling

What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
Brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, i don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine
And it's brighter than sunshine

I never saw it happening
I'd given up and given in
I just couldn't take the hurt again
What a feeling

I didn't have the strength to fight
Suddenly you seemed so right
Me and you
What a feeling

What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
It's brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, I don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine

It's brighter than the sun
It's brighter than the sun
It's brighter than the sun, sun, shine.

Love will remain a mystery
But give me your hand and you will see
Your heart is keeping time with me

What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
It's brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, I don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine

<3

Look what I have created!!!!




Is that awesome or what?!?!?! It matches my bed and everything! Once I finish my owl mask i'll put that up here as well. Intro to Costuming is the best class ever!!!

So I just finished the most amazing pudding cup ever!!!! I call it "Feel Good Pudding." (copyright Gilly B)

Now you might say, "Why is that? It's just an ordinary cup of pudding that you've had before." But NO! It's the situation that surrounds the pudding! Today was probably the most amazing monday I have had in a long long long time.

Well, as a precursor to today, on a combination of Saturday and Sunday I spent a total amount of about 27 hours straight with my wonderful b/f. He makes me so happy and apparently I make him happy as well, and I can actually be myself around him! we are COMPLETE opposites, (seriously, you have NO IDEA...)but like he says, we complement each other. We are two very oddly shaped puzzle pieces that fit together so well. It's only been 2 and a half weeks, but if feels like a month or something!!!

So that is just the prequal to today I guess! I slept straight through the night, haven't slept that well in a very long time, and wasn't tired at all this morning. (I fell asleep holding my pillow, and woke up holding my pillow. No sheets on the floor or anything. I also fell asleep in like 5 minutes. That has NEVER happened.) I finished getting ready early so I actually had time to eat breakfast and chill for a while. The weather today was my favorite and reminded me how much I LOVE Arizona. It was sunny out, but not disgustingly hot. There was a slight breeze every once and a while, and everything was so GREEN!!

In costuming I got my bunny and sewing samples back, and I got 100 percent on everything! At the moment I am making an owl mask out of water color paper, and it acctually looks like an owl!!!!

I had finished my homework for today the night before, so there was no rushing to finish my english paper in the 3 hour time-span before my next class.

Speakiing of my next class, remember that dreadful english teacher of mine that makes me feel like jumping off of a bridge and chucking my english book at her?!?! Well today our group was presenting our paper, and we were completely prepared to be torn apart by Dr. Hedin and the other english group that always has something shoved up all of their asses. They all had a few questions, but we fired back with support. And in the end, she said that she loved our scenario, it made sense, she understood our re-definition of our word, and we comletely proved our point to her........WHAT?!?!? She never agrees with us on anything!!!!! She always says we did something wrong. I felt like jumping up on our table and dancing!!! For the first time ever I was actually happy walking out of that classroom!! And now group projects are over and I finally get to start writing papers by myself!!!!!!! YAY!

Now I will do my homework and get it all over with. And then tonight at around 8:30 I'm gonna go over to Nick's dorm, <3 , and we're gonna watch our show, Studio 60, curled up on his bed. This day is amazing and I'm gonna hold on to it for as long as I can.

By the way, I am also in my first official ASU performance!!! I actually auditioned with other ASU students and made it into a show! (i got called back for all four!!!!) It's called Journalistic Integrity, and its about the struggle of a playwright to get the true stories from the soldiers in Iraq out to the rest of the world. (It's mostly dramatic but its got some funny lines) I have four different characters, but my fav is when I get to be the editor who is a real bitch an a pain in the ass. it's fun! It's playing at the Prism Theatre from October 28th through November 1st, i think at 8pm each night. There will be four one-act plays, ours is the last one, and Nick's is the second one! (Not sure when dane's is, but he's in one too) If you are interested in going any of those nights, let me know and I can get the official info and give you directions!!

Luv you all!!!

Guess what...........?

Erica is happy.

Erica has a boy.

He is wonderful.

so i was pretty sick this weekend, but i just got much better today, and guess what? You know when you trip on stairs but then catch yourself? Well I didn't catch myself, and I fell flat on my face. I think I might have sprained my ankle. damn it, why me???????

(cross your fingers!! I really dont need a sprained ankle at the moment. im hoping its just really super sore)

I HATE my english teacher Ms. Hendin!! She is the worst teacher i've ever had and she has ruined my love of english. She thinks all her students can read her mind and know exactly what she wants in a paper, and I have learned nothing in her class. She has us writing group papers about absolutely nothing with three other people, which should have ended in middle school. Im not sure I will be able to make it through the semester because I might strangle myself first.

on a happy note, rehearsals are going well for Tryouts and I get to see "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" tomorrow with jenny!

Hello fellow livejournal users!! I've decided that it is time for an update!

Classes are going really well. I've realized that I LOVE sewing and when I complete a stitch I feel so accomplished and happy inside. lol. Math is a waste of my time but easy, and English is just getting on my nerves. I am happy that those classes end with the semester and I never have to look back. My acting classes are just amazing and fun and all that jazz!!

This weekend I hung out with Diego and Dane a lot, my two lovers. We looked at kama sutra books in Urban Outfitters, took Diego into his first sex store (Fascinations), tried delicious watermelon sorbet from Coldstone, saw Accepted and laughed out asses off, and to end this perfect weekend Diego and I met the cast of Wicked and got them to sign our programs!! It was an amazing experience to see them up close and talk to them. So cool. (Fun Fact: When Diego and I walked out of my dorm room he decided to button up his shirt, and then he was afraid the boys on the first level would think we were gettin' busy. lol)

I didn't make the first two Mainstage plays, but all the freshman theatre majors can participate in "From Scratch", where 10 student directors describe their plays and we sign up for one of them, no auditioning required. I signed up for "Tryouts", a play about two nuns who are holding tryouts for girls who want to be nuns, but all of the girls who try out have shouldn't be there in the first place. There's a slutty one and one who's there for the free lunch. I play a young pregnant girl who believes her unborn child is the antichrist. lol. It's short, but its gonna be funny! Anybody going to ASU should come see it if you have nothing to do: September 19th and 20th at 8 PM in the Prism Theatre.

so, interesting update for today.

First, theatre news. I didn't get called back for the 2nd play, but im glad. I mostly did it for the college audition experience, and if I make Haroun, then two plays at the begininng of my freshman year would be insanely hard. I went to the Haroun and the Sea Of Stories callbacks today, and boy is college theatre different than highschool theatre. Everything from the warmup to the reading of the script was crazy, so weird, and outlandish. And everyone seemed to act like this was the norm, so i just tried to seem like I knew what I was doing and did my best! So I'll found out by monday if im in it or not. keep your fingers crossed! but if not, i wont be totally devastated. it IS my first week at ASU, so i've got lots and lots of time. Im just excited to be performing again!

Anyway, now to the scary part of my weekend. After my callback today I drove to Kierland Commons cause I wanted to buy some stuff from Victoria's Secret. While driving on Scottsdale, I was almost to Greenway, where I had to make a right. I switched lanes and literally a half a second later the car that was in front of me slammed its brakes swerved violently and drove into those dirt landscapes int the middle of the rode and crashed into a saguaro cactus. So I avoided what could have very well been my first accident. I just was so shaky afterwards. That car missed me by like an INCH. But luckily no other cars got hit and 15 minutes later driving back the only thing left was a cactus snapped in two. Im still totally freaked out. that was hella scary.

Today was my first audition EVER for a college play, Haroun and the Sea of Stories. AND I MADE THE CALLBACKS!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it. I totally doubted that I'd get even close to that. I figured this audition would be practice and help me get used to the ASU audition procees. But now i get to dive right in and start acting!!!!!! I am so excited! Tomorrow is another audition, which I will also be doing. Can't wait for that either. woot woot!

(Now all I need is to get me a man!) lol.

Yesterday was a day for the books:

Gill, Zach, and I went skydiving!!! AND WE SURVIVED!!! It was so much fun and was so so so so intense!!! I can't wait to do it again. http://img451.imageshack.us/slideshow/player.php?id=img451/258/1153930737jqb.smil

(I also beat Zelda after years and years and years of having to restart the damn game.)

Is this insanely cool or what? Me and Laurell K. Hamilton

Guess what I am doing tomorrow?!?!?!?  I AM MEETING LAURELL K. HAMILTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I am seriously shitting my pants i'm so damn excited!  I honestly thought this would be down the road, but its not!  My family is being a really good sport, trying to make a trip out of this, even though we are only going there in the first place for the book signing.  So we'll stop at a few amazing Las Vegas buffets (FOOD!) and we're also gonna go see O, the underwater Cirque De Soleil.   I am so stoked.  And since I can't take my other Anita Blake Superfan Gill with me,  cause she won't fit in my suitcase, I'm bringing her book to get signed instead!   Luckily it's a 2 book per person limit.  Hopefully I can get a picture with Laurell.   (And finally my Anita Blake shrine will be complete!)  ::laughs menacingly::  But it should be fun.  The 6 hour car ride will be worth it.  I'll try to take LOST and LOTS of pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!

Second on my list of incredibleness:  Gill , Zach, and I are going skydiving on the 21st of July!  I know i've been talking about it all the time, but its finally here!  We're doing it just outside of Sedona at sunset, so it should be really really beautiful.  And they said that each jumper gets to choose the kind of jump they want.  Either a calm freefall or a crazy tumbling one.  Guess which one I'm picking?  >:-D

Remember when I completely freaked out when I almost beat Zelda and then it erased itself on me?  Well, the past couple days I've been working up to the part the was so rudely taken away from me.  And i'm past it.  BUt i was so afraid to turn it off today!!  So hopefully its not gone when I get back.  EVERYONE, CROSS YOUR FINGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Thanks!

So you know that huge shelf of books in my room that I was supposed to make a dent on this summer??  NOt so much.  YOu know why?  Cause I keep buying new books to read!!!!  ahh!!! I'm an addict!   They are gonna be there forever.  It seems like i'll never finish.  lol.  The girl who died cause she had no more living space due to books she could never finish reading.  oh boy.  Maybe I'll have to have a reading marathon before college starts??

COLLEGE!!!!!!!!!!!!  YAY!!!!!!!!  HERE I COME ASU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So my pretty calm summer is gonna end with a BANG before college starts.  Whoo hoo! 

It's been a while since I got one of these from a random guy on Myspace:

"hey sexy lets chat sumtime if u got msn messenger add me at david_nelson55@hotmail.com"

They provide much amusement. lol.  I mean, saying that to me just sweeps me off my feet!  Of course I'll chat with you!!   How could I think of anything else?!?!?!? 

:-P

Again, its been a long time since i've written, but nothin too exciting has happened. but I got my AP scores in the mail today! ::drum roll:: ....... I didn't get any negative numbers!! YAY!! I was so ready for my scores to say something like, "N/A". lol Well, here:

Econ-Mac: 1
Calc AB: 1
Eng Lit/Comp: 3

The only one I'm kinda sorry about is the english. I thought I did really well and got at least a four, but no. ah well, my ACT score helped me skip some english classes. Calc and Econ are absolutely no suprise for me. I mean, I drew a picture on one of my calc answers and Econ was just a test of laughs. What the hell is stagflation anyway? lol.

I am so ready for ASU. I had the house to myself for 8 days, so I got a taste of independence and it was oh so sweet. the only thing i hated was that my dogs decided to start shitting in the house when only i am home, so for a week karli and gidget left me morning, afternoon, and night suprises on the floor. One night I was so frustrated with it all, I cut up a bunch of paper bags and taped them to the regular spots they were going to the bathroom. so what happens, they start crapping and peeing AROUND the paper bags. ugh... but the rents are back and we can find out what's happing. Besides that, I loved the freedom. I am stoked to room with Gill and transform our dorm into a laurell k hamilton/rubber ducky paradise. lol. Oh, and of course, the plethora of boys at ASU. ::wink::

I went to lunch with a choir friend the other day, and bought some awesome stuff. I went to Claire's and got a pretty headband and a white flower clip that looks great beside my hair when I put it all up in a bun. I went into American Eagle for the first time EVER, and suprisingly they have some really cute stuff for great prices. I got two amazingly comfortable tanks and a gorgeous blue shirt that makes my chest look fabulous! lol. ::wink:: again. And finally, Andrew you will flip, but I got a stearing wheel cover with moons and fairies on it for FIVE BUCKS at hot topic!! It's amazing and no longer is my stearing wheel hot! yes!

So i have pretty much decided that I am eventually gonna get a tattoo. I've been watching Inked a lot, seeing other people with tattoos, and seeing the commercial for Club Tattoo, which happens to be right next to ASU actually. I'm not sure when, but I will. And your probably wondering, "but you have a phobia of needles!" I know, but my phobia is completely psycological, and the thing they use to tattoo down't look like a needle, but like a pen. I can't even look at a needle or someone getting a shot on tv, but when I saw the tattoo thing up close I didn't even flinch or start to sweat! SO I should be fine. and most of the time I can deal with pain pretty well as long as there is no blood. I will, of course, start out with a butterfly. It symbolizes my transformation of coming out of my cocoon senior year and it would be a reminder of how much progress I made and how that change meant so much to me. If I got another, it would prolly be a rose on my ankle like on the cover of cerulean sins by laurell K. hamilton.



I might get a cartilage peircing too, something my mom wouldn't let me get. oh, the beauty of being 18.

hey hey hey! Gill will appreciate this the most, but looky what I got in the mail today...



It goes on my car today! whoo hoo! my first sticker to put on my back window!! Yay, my car is personalized!! lol, im such an anita blake dork. :-P
