you're every line, you're every word

i hope everyone had a wonderful christmas, and that your break is awesome. my break is okay, and christmas is just like any other day, really. i'm not being a grinch or anything, but thats just how its always been. i'm grateful for the break, though and enjoying it thoroughly. my dad's friend and his family from maryland is spending their christmas with us. they have a daughter that i'm trying to keep company but i'm pretty horrible at entertaining or even talking to people, especially someone i just met. i'm trying, though.

so i watched 27 dresses and what happens in vegas. 27 dresses is just okay, and what happens in vegas i actually enjoyed. i'm done with chick flicks for a while, so i rented some "manly" movies, at least manlier. i have the dark knight and die hard on blu-ray. i also rented gladiator, alexander, troy, and eurotrip, because it was only like .50 to rent and i never seen it before.

so i watched gladiator, and as i expected, it was a great movie. i've seen like 10 min of it online before, but i'm glad to be able to watch the whole thing on DVD. the movie is inspiring. i watched alexander the great, the one with the colin guy, i think. it was kind of disappointing. the vibe i received from the movie was that alexander wasn't that great. all of the gay stuff that the movie put alexander made me want to turn it off. this "manly" movie turned out not too manly at all.

on christmas night, i watched the curious case of Benjamin button with some friends. i wanted to watch it from reading the plot and with the brad pitt hype, so i was pretty satisfied being able to go. it was a wonderful movie, despite it lasting 3 hours. i found a couple parts of the film to be quite moving and almost teared up. not really. its a great movie! brad pitt was pretty good looking, thats a plus for the ladies. there was a quote i remember from the movie: "you are meant to lose the people you love. that's how you know how much they meant to you" or something along those lines.

today i went to the mall with my friend from maryland and my brother. the mall was really crowded because of the sales or whatever. my friend wanted to rent a scary movie so we went and rented the happening. hmm.. i didn't like the movie much. i found it.. weird. later i watched hancock with my brother. it wasn't as bad as i've heard from people.

i'm also reading twilight. its pretty interesting so far, i just wished it wasnt first person narrative of a teenage girl. oh well, i guess thats what makes it good.

please don't feel bad. its really not you. its me
