Since When Did You Last Let Your Heart Decide?

I went shopping with my mom today and bought a dress. Ah, mundane details. Although, this is the second dress I’ve bought since I was six that was not for a violin recital.

Dresses are so freeing, and there is so much irony in that statement.

I’m working on Sushmita chapter nine. There’s a sentence that hasn’t been heard in a while. Is it sad that I actually have to consult the PotC 1 script to write this thing now, whereas only five months ago I could have written the script off the top of my head? Yes, but I have to get past PotC!!!

It doesn’t look good, for one thing, when you tell someone you want to be director, and you say, “Yes, my favorite movie is Pirates of the Caribbean,” because they immediately take you for a fangirl.

For one, I am not a fangirl…I just happen to know that Johnny Depp weighs 150 lbs and currently lives aboard his yacht, the Vajoliroja, which is a play off of “The Jolly Roger” and is composed of the first two letters of his family member’s names. Not impressed? He was also married to Lori-Anne Allison in the 80’s for three years, and she was older than him. I smell a cougar. Hopefully she was nothing like Joyce.  

“…Hiiii Miiiiyaaaaa….”

I’ll stop now because I feel like I’m exploiting him, and if he ever read this he’d bite my nose off. Or ignore me for the rest of my life, something that, while it will probably happen, I hope it will never occur. I apologize, Johnny Depp; you were wonderful in “Ed Wood”. That’s one of the few movies where I’ve had to remind myself that I was watching Johnny Depp.

What now, what now. “Numb3rs” was on last night :) but every time I see uglycooldude I remember the beach montage from “Private Resort”. Oh, Rob Morrow. You will never live down the one movie you did with Johnny Depp when you were both unknown, and also the fact that you named your daughter Tu. Say it. Out loud. “You’re impossibly fast.” No, it’s more like “If you seek Amy.”

Speaking of old Johnny Depp costars who somewhat disappeared, “Tetro” is Francis Ford Coppola’s newest film, and his most personal. And guess who it stars? “Breast, Axel. Big beautiful breasts”. Yes, Vincent Gallo, how did you guess? “Arizona Dream”, why dost thou inspire me so? Johnny Depp himself wasn’t that great in it. Scandalous statement, I know, but there were a lot of Johnny Depp habits in it. Like how when his character gets angry he does a lot of swooping hand gestures and head tilting.

Sorry if I ruined every film he’s ever done for you except “Ed Wood”, CatCF, and PotC. And “Corpse Bride”, but that wasn’t physically him.

Although, he once said that if there isn’t a part of you in a role then you’re lying, not acting. So maybe I’ll forgive him, because it’s not like many people are better.

Anyway, I’m looking forward to “Tetro”, because oh goodness it’s Vincent Gallo, and it’s also the first Francis Ford Coppola movie I will see. Scandalous, coming from a wannabe director. Please don’t shun me.

Also, when they analyze the bound-to-be hugemongous ticket sales for TIoDP, they’d better not think that we’re all there to see Heath Ledger, and forget Johnny Depp’s loyal slightly massive army of fangirls.



I Could Be Brown.
The “Public Enemies” marketing campaign has begun.
Does not he look AWEsome?

Does not he look AWEsome?

Empire Magazine has this feature on “Public Enemies” and I enlarged pictures people had taken of it and read it. Because that’s how I always read magazines features about Johnny Depp.

I want one of those tommy-guns. They’re freaking cool, especially when Dillinger’s gang is hanging onto the outside of a speeding car and they’re all shooting at people.

Fanservice? Oh, alright.
A pretty good picture but you can see fangirls behind. It was actually much better when I couldn’t see the fangirls and the cow-ish expression on his face because it was so small.
That was a pretty lame fanservice, but it’s late and there’s a lot of free food tomorrow if I wake up early enough.
I just realized the theme of my wordpress is “Benevolence”. Scandalous.
Also, my dad brought me a freaking rice cooker for lunch. It wasn’t one, technically or grammatically, but it had all these stealthy contraptions like twisting lids to open new compartments. It was so funny when I opened the huge container and found an egg and a fistful of rice when clearly the lunchbox was huge.
I’ve named my chocolate turkey Renaldo. He’s slightly deformed and has two bullet wounds…just like Jack Sparrow.
PS. I’m reading a book and one of the characters is named Samuel Winslow. Just like last year when I ordered a random book for extra credit and one of the characters was named Sweeney. That was when I didn’t know anything about Sweeney Todd.
PPS. I just watched “Ivanhoe” and Ivanhoe looked like my dentist. I need to get me a tommy-gun. For protection from my omnipresent dentist.
I’m really going now.


Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

As predicted, I spent my Veteran’s Day at the San Diego Zoo. I saw the hugest bear in the whole freaking world. It was like the size of the bears in the movies, and in comparison, the grizzly bear in the next exhibit was nothing. The Manchurian Brown Bear’s head was like, thrice the size of mine, but the stupid bear wouldn’t get out of the water so I only saw up to its shoulders. By the way, Manchuria is in China. I…don’t know why I mentioned this.

Anyways, I’ve got a new fanfiction idea. That’s not to say I’m abandoning Sushmita. This one has yet to be named, but it is a “Jack’s daughter” fic. And it is a modern day thing. God, it sounds bad, but I hope I’ll be able to rescue this stupid idea from the toilet of fail upon which Sean Connery shits. That was a pun…Sean Connery does not have anything to do with fail except the unfortunate fact that he should not say “sit”.

Also, I was just reminded of shows I used to watch. “Marvin the Tap-Dancing Horse” and “Adventures in the Book of Virtue”. Exciting.

Haha the show my sister’s watching just said “Why so cheerful”. It made me six degree.



No It’s Hairspray!

Chapter 5 of Sushmita is finally up. Miya, you can’t be mad at me anymore! Unless Chapter 6 takes over a week as well…

This week had the potential to be a hell week, but it wasn’t. There were moments of “I hate my life and I’m going to go deep again,” but I got through it. I hope stress over the position paper and my costume and Ernest’s costume and the SAT II don’t get to me.

I slept for like, 5 hours today. I just lay down to study Human and fell asleep to the tune of Hairspray.

The motivational speaker was the same guy from last year and that kind of sucked. I disliked his breathing and Bouillon-like habits of needing people to look him in the eyes. I hate when adults do that to us in assemblies, like the kayak guy who had to disguise his discipline as “picking you as a volunteer to sit up front”. Are they insecure or something?

Anyways, the speaker had good intentions so I’m not going to diss him anymore. Except for one quick fact that he didn’t reference Johnny Depp this year. There were actually less references in general. But I did gripe last year about him confusing Johnny Depp with Jack Sparrow, as if he were the SAME.

You’re all reading this and thinking I’m crazy. But…yeah. I guess if he had to dumb down references for the sake of the audience. Tee hee.

If one day Mr. Perry picks me to pick the extra credit question topic it will be PotC. Because I would ace that question. How come I get the feeling I just jinxed myself and now there are questions flooding into my mind that I cannot answer? And the feeling that I’ve lost my trivia knowledge because of my resistance!?

I’m glad this blog doesn’t have any of my deep posts. If you want deep and angsty, go to my old blog. I’d rather you didn’t though, it’s kind of embarassing. And there are lots of posts, and the time I had that blog was during the days of preteen stupidity, when one thinks it is cool to be weird and wants to flaunt one’s hyperness and randomnity to all.

Yes, those are not real words.



Freaking “I Kissed a Girl” Stuck in my Head.

School has been swamping me. I’m afraid that my fanfiction will become one of those that end up never finished, and you keep checking back but no progress has been made for around five years…

Don’t worry, Sushmita Ch. 5 will be up soon.

I finished the first Ernest comic, in which the microwave incident plays out horribly (for dramatic effect) and Ernest…well…he gets microwaved. Miya wants one of her wedding so I’m working on that one. Ernest is the ring boy!

Also, the song “Fat Girl Fail” has been created from my fat girl fail moment with Miya this morning in AP Human. We failed at picking up our notebooks from the floor.

Gosh, this is a boring post. But…it’s really really late and I haven’t finished hw. So a boring post will have to do.



rigor mortis: Why Won’t You Die.

I am so happy. I just got my fourth review for Sushmita. GAAH. Yes.

As I predicted, Tryphena said there weren’t enough vivid details in “Little Bobby”. I edited her essay, and I was kind of shocked at how good it was. This proves that we should only be asked to write fiction in school. See how much better our writing gets when we don’t talk about the Romantic Era?!?!

I seem to be typing Ernest-style. Also, these keys are stiff. Like dead people, specifically like that girl in the Dance Room poster about the hamstring stretch? That was a good example of rigor mortis.

Ugh. I’m thinking of making a new tuxedo for Ernest. I don’t like the shabby one. And I’m sad because I’ve gotten B’s on all my tests so far except for AP Human Geography.

It’s really weird when Ms. Flowers offers us incentives in Aerobics. It’s like, why would we need that? We’re like a bunch of fat caterpillars looking up at this weird lady who’s trying to make us be ballet leaders. Heck no. We don’t even run, what kind of rewards would we get? I do miss the outdoors though. I wish we’d go outside on Fridays. Whatever, the gym makes me crazy. Something about being stuck in the gym makes me walk in weird ways and prance (not ballet prancing) and walk through the middle where the freaky wildcat that Mrs. Bruesch and her sister painted (and like to remind us of that fact) is and pretend I’m walking through No Man’s Land. As I said, it’s the gym. Today as we did across the floor exercises I looked up past Ms. Flower’s excited eyes and saw the same freakish wildcat gazing down at us! Then I had an epiphany that the dance room was in the front of the gym. I keep having these re-epiphanies.

PS. My titles don’t mean anything, well, maybe relates a little, but it’s just what pops into my head right after I finish a post. It probably has nothing to do with what’s going on in my life.

I’m frustrated with Sushmita. So many options of how she’ll escape that jail cell. If she escapes. I need chocolate.

UPDATE: Yesterday I watched 21 Jump Street, specifically the one where Jackie and Tom break up. I admit, I laughed and was happy. Johnny Depp did that weird swing thing he does a lot in 21 Jump Street when Tom is mad. Kind of like Captain Jack Sparrow, but with less hair flying around the shoulders. More of the overly-gelled 80’s hair flopping about.

Miya finally watched Big Fish. Now we can idolize Norther Winslow again! And thus, my dentist. Thus, Brendan Urie. Thus, Ryan Ross. Okay, now I’m just name-dropping for tags. And thus, etc. etc. etc.

Grass so green,
Sky so blue,
Spectre is really great!

Is it that he is a player? Teehee.

Is it that he is a player? Teehee.

Every time I think of Mrs. Perry, I remember that Geoffrey Rush conversation we had in Bio last year where she told me that Geoffrey Rush would be a bad choice of mate evolution-wise. Gross. Anyways, during Fall Play auditions, she was there and as I got on stage she smiled at me. Omg. Geoffrey Rush conversation rushed into my head, and I was disturbed.



Where Oh Where Has Coffee Been?

Happy news! http://movies.yahoo.com/mv/news/va/20080925/122232659600.html

Attention Miya: “Alice in Wonderland” news – click link!

I really think Johnny Depp agreed to play Tonto because of the name. In the soundtrack for “Once Upon a Time in Mexico”, he wrote a song under the name “Tonto’s Giant Nuts”. Tee hee? So when my family wandered into the Grand Canyon, I giggled at “Tonto Ridge” And I giggled when I read in a Spanish dictionary (just because I wanted to) that Tonto was stupid. Huzzah.

Also, in other Six Degrees news, Frank asked Michael if he was a mexi-can or a mexi-can’t. I giggled, once again. “Once upon a Time in Mexico” reference! I screamed inside. Then that guy’s face popped into my head and he was like, “I’m a mexi-CAN.” And I laughed.

Anyways, the news even says there’s going to be PotC FOUR. Oh dear god. It was confirmed that they were developing it. Oh Disney, I love it when you give press conferences that have actual information.

In my haste this morning, I forgot to bring Ernest to school. Sigh, he’ll be there tomorrow. I’m really scared to write the new chapter of Sushmita. Writing Jack Sparrow intimidates me. Grr. I can’t even conjure his personality in my head anymore, or any of those oocbutstealthilyseemingincharacther jack sparrows in some fanfictions. I’d watch the movie for research, but I don’t feel like it. Besides, my dad might get mad and scream “Johnny Depp is going to die!!!!” again. Last time he did that, I felt like laughing but I had to show respect. Sigh. I used sigh twice just now.

Aerobics is so frustrating. And boring, and sweatful, and B.O.full. Only Sushi looks happy doing the whatever we learned today. We did so much of the same step that I rotated to every single platform. Not ALL, but all the way to the end. Oh yeah, today’s step was the lunge, I remember now. Whatever, it sucked. I slid off my platform. Everytime I do platform aerobics, I feel like Shannon, the one who left, because my arms jiggle like monkeys. Not the fat, the whole arm jiggles off my shoulder. It’s really gross.

Also, today I yawned during stretching and my vision cleared up for a second. But one second was all it took for me to see my reflection in the huge ballet mirror. Maybe I damaged my cornea.

Yesterday one of the English vocabulary words was “earnestly”. Yes, I giggled. Then I realized that Ernest was named well. “Earnest” means sincere intent, etc. I giggled again. Also, “Ugly Betty” premiers today. I’ll probably watch tomorrow…after Chinese school…darn.

Which reminds me: tomorrow is the one week anniversary of our blogs. Maybe we’ll celebrate. Well, I am bringing Ernest to school. I miss La Poo Poo. His new job takes him away from home so much. When he is home, he likes to go to resorts to unwind. Now I know why James Bond goes through girls so quickly. How can you live like that? With underwear modeling, at least he was home almost all the time because with La Poo Poo’s skill, it’s just picture taking and he’s done. No makeup required, just a snap of him in underwear. He was that good. Unfortunately the photographer grew jealous, and also really really really loved dogs…

Grr. Auditions for “David and Lisa” are Monday. So is orchestra. DIE. It’s like the question of my life. Music vs. drama.

Ernest wants to blog, so I’ll let him. I’m also going to update Sushmita. Don’t kill me if Jack is out of character. Well, no one cares as much as former Grapes did. Omg…even Grapes is a figment of my PotC obsession…I’ll never escape.

Also, the other day we did ballet to vaudeville music. I wanted to do the roll dance from “Benny and Joon”. Just saying.

And, “The Show” by Lenka reminds me of “Finding Neverland”. Again, I don’t know why.

Gosh I am so happy.



Do the Charleston

I’ve got an idea for the Sushmita fanfiction series. And Sushi thought her nightmare was over. Not until she fulfills her lifelong goal of being an aerobics teacher. By the way, Sushi is not the same as Sushmita…

In the same way, they often put “based on a true story” in movies.

So I’m going to begin writing and put that account to use. Besides having an unlimited profile. Of course, that was before I started resisting PotC, thereby ridding myself of over 75% of my profile content.

I think I’m still sweating from aerobics. Not actually sweating, but I feel like I am. Gross.

I’m posting a Sushmita story up. It’s called Live a Little: Hoist Your Colors. Yes, the title is stupid. Just read it. And review! All the Sushmita stories are going to be “Live a Little” stories.

http://www.fanfiction.net/~grapesandcabbage it’s there.
