if they give you ruled paper, write the other way

here's proof that avatar's plot sucks. need i say any more?


you know how they say the tomato is a fruit, because it has seeds? well i thought about it and that means that the cucumber and pumpkin are also fruits too!! i was so discombobulated!!! BUT....when in doubt: wiki.

Category:Fruit vegetables
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vegetable-like fruits are vegetables formed from the fruits of the plants that bear them.

Yes, this group includes tomatoes, cucumbers and pumpkins.

wiki article:
Fruit or vegetable?
In everyday (non-technical) language, the words "fruit" and "vegetable" are mutually exclusive: plant products that are called fruits are hardly ever classified as vegetables, and vice versa. However, for scientists the word "fruit" also has a precise botanical meaning (a part that developed from the ovary of a flowering plant), which is considerably different from its common meaning. While peaches, plums, and oranges are "fruits" in both senses, many items commonly called "vegetables" — such as eggplants, bell peppers, and tomatoes — are technically fruits, as are also most cereals, as well as some spices like pepper and chillies. Some plant products, such as corn or peas, may be considered vegetables only while still unripe.

this is very confusing.

I think i'm going to leave this topic.


Oh, I started reading 'The Book Thief' by Markus Zusak and it is extremely good even though i am onli 74 pages in. It's very interesting and unconventional, and you know how much i love unconventional things. ;P


Also, it is in great pleasure that I inform you that I have completed two of my mini lifelong goals!

But what is a mini lifelong goal?
Very good question! A mini lifelong goal is a lifelong goal that I can die without accomplishing, or in other words, a lifelong goal i can live without. Of course, I prefer to have accomplished it, but it is not as necessary as my lifelong goals.

So what were your two mini lifelong goals?
1. Make icecream.
Yeh, you know the story. Made "French Chocolate" with Jessica and Justin's luverly birthday present of an icecream maker. =D
2. Bought my brother a pink shirt.
"PINK SHIRT?!?!?!" you say? Yes. You heard me. And it wasn't one of those random t-shirts that i bought only because of the sole fact that it was pink. No, it is infact one of those button-up, collared, long sleeve dress shirt that when you roll up the sleeves to your elbow, look very noice. And it's not full hardcore pink. Its actualli quite pale pink and it has thin pink stripes just so that my brother wouldn't have had a solid-block-of-pink heart attack when he saw it.

Personally I think all of the male population should have a collection of nice, button-up, collared, long sleeve dress shirts. Because...well it would make the world a better place.


The Lovely Bones (film)
There was one thing my murderer didn't understand; he didn't understand how much a father could love his child.
-------
My murderer was a man from our neighborhood. I took his photo once; he stepped out of nowhere and ruined the shot. He ruined a lot of things.
-------
I was slipping away, that's what it felt like. Life was leaving me, but I wasn't afraid.

Comparison with the novel by Alice Sebold
Once again Peter Jackson did what he always does: he drags a tiny thing on for SO LONG. This movie reminded me of the lord of the rings. Did i watch that movie just to see three hours of frodo having a mental battle with himself and the ring? NO. I DIDN'T. Did i see the lovely bones because i wanted to see lindsey turn the pages of a book so silently for about ten minutes? NO. Did i see it because i wanted to see mr. harvey roll the safe into the sink hole for ten minutes (i still think he could have just reversed further into the road)? NO. I DIDN'T.

And the directing, it was all over the place. I only understood it because i read the book. There were just random scenes that would just flash here and there and i'm like...that has NOTHING to do with the storyline watsoever? And don't you hate it when they concentrate on really tiny things but leave out important things? ARGH. And not to mention some of the acting was really bad!
So obviously the film SUCKED for me.

In my opinion,the novel dominated the film for over a mile. Once again, the novel trumps the film. The novel was just soooo detailed. Even though the second half had less quality, some parts were really good and they were really important. The film was extremely rushed in terms of the storyline. The whole movie was practically the first half of the novel. The second half was basically summed up in ten minutes, very close to the end. I loved the novel, i'm considering reading it again, but i'm afraid that when i read the novel, vision of the film would pop into my head, and i really. don't. want. that.


The Lovely Bones (novel)
Inside the snow globe on my father's desk, there was a penguin wearing a red-and-white-striped scarf. When I was little my father would pull me into his lap and reach for the snow globe. He would turn it over, letting all the snow collect on the top, then quickly invert it. The two of us watched the snow fall gently around the penguin. The penguin was alone in there, I thought, and I worried for him. When I told my father this, he said, 'Don't worry Susie; he has a nice life. He's trapped in a perfect world.'
-------
What I think was hardest for me to realize was that he had tried each time to stop himself. He had killed animals, taking lesser lives to keep from killing a child.
-------
I had rescued the moment by using my camera and in that way had found a way to stop time and hold it. No one could take that image away from me because I owned it.

In my junior high yearbook I had a quote from a Spanish poet my sister had turned me on to, Juan Ramon Jimenez. It went like this: “If they give you ruled paper, write the other way.”
