What the Dormouse Said

I have been meaning to post for days. Literally DAYS! But I’ve just been too overwhelmed.

#1 Thing I want to get across to you is my new historical figure/literary  obsession: Federico García Lorca.

He’s so magical. I was in a play written by him two summers ago called “The House of Bernada Alba” and found it so well done. Really beautiful. Lately I’ve been reading about him, and reading his poetry. I watched the movie “Little Ashes” that talks about the young love between Federico Garcia Lorca and Salvador Dali (played by Robert Pattinson aka Edward Cullen. WEIRD, I know.) The whole move was actually weird, but I ended up really liking it because the subject matter was just so rich. The Dali character was ridiculously up and down and strange (which I assume it was supposed to be so I give some props to Pattinson for the execution,) but the Federico character was developed so so so so well. The actor, Javier Beltran, who actually looks like Lorca, did a great job. So watch the movie if you’re in the mood for some “WHAT!?”s and “That’s beautiful”s and “OH JESUS”s and “that’s interesting”s and maybe a little teariness to top off the WTF tone of things. I’m really glad I watched it and am going to re-watch it this weekend with my friend, Megan, who never got to finish it with me on Sunday. My favorite thing about Lorca, though, is how he was homosexual and fought for freedom and rights in a time where you could be killed for being gay - and indeed he was. SO INSPIRATIONAL! If you didn’t already know, I am a straight ally for the gay rights cause and am so passionate about the fight for equality. I am currently the head of the G.S.A of my school and hope I can make G.S.A as awesome as possible this year. I really want to be productive and get people involved and make them think. If anyone who is reading this has any ideas for G.S.A, I would love to hear them!! So enough rambling with horrendous sentence structure…. okay I’m not actually sure that’s going to end. I feel pretty “rambley” right now haha

Let’s see… anything else I feel like saying? Hmm.. I’m having difficulty clarifying my days as good or bad. But is identifying my day important? Should I be able to say if I’ve had a bay or good day? If I say its a bad day does it give less importance to the good and vice a versa. I wonder….

Random Wish:

This may sound selfish, but I really want someone to just go out of their way and do something really nice for me. It would just make me so happy. Because, recently I feel like I’ve been giving just SO MUCH. And it’s not like I don’t enjoy it because I do want to give. But a part of me just thinks I’ve gotten into such a habit of it that I’m not realizing any affect it has on me. This goes back to my “Friends” post. But its going through my mind right now so.. yeah.

However, right now I’m really happy about some friends who have been really there for me lately, like my friend Becky who I didn’t mention in my other post. She’s really wonderful and I really can’t wait for the day that SHE realizes how wonderful she is.

Right now I’m listening to Britney Spears. Because despite my complete obsession with and immense knowledge of Classic Rock, I listen to almost everything. And the reality is, Britney hits such a soft spot in me :)

I think that’s it. I’m going to look at Netflix instant play with Katharine right now. She’s a saint and sometimes keeps me logged in on my computer so that I can abuse her unlimited instant play access AKA HOW I WATCHED LITTLE ASHES! I wish it would last forever and ever and ever and I wish the computer would stop LOGGING ME OUT SOMETIMES! 

Anyway here’s a funny photo:

get it!? its funny… because I put it on MY blog… no? really? okay.

later gator!
