Post the Fifth: Canada Day

My blog is likely going to take a bit of a personal edge for awhile, at least 'til school starts up again.

Today was Canada Day. I left the house at 9:15 AM and got home at around 11:30 PM. Good day.

I went to go see The Last Airbender movie in the morning. I'm still not sure what to think of it. I was expecting it to be terrible. It wasn't terrible but it was by no means good. I watched a bit of Avatar later and it struck me exactly HOW terrible the movie was in comparison.

Then I went to a BBQ at my friend's house. It was really REALLY fun. It was with a bunch of somewhat new friends and I'm really enjoying spending time with them and getting to know them. They're pretty rowdy but in a good way. They're mostly Asian guys weirdly enough, I noticed today. It was kind of funny, we got there about an hour late and when we came in all the Asian guys were sitting in the living room playing video games -- on their DSes or on the TV. Me, the white girl, goes, "Ooh, video games," and plops down with them and starts playing. And nothing is amiss.

So, yeah, we hung around in the living room playing video games, then migrated upstairs and played more video games, then came down for supper, a delicious supper of burgers. There were 9 of us that somehow crowded around a table originally set up for 4 people. Then I passed out upstairs. I was tired. Later we went outside and lied in the grass. As always the gymnastics instructor did handstands and tricks and somehow ALWAYS FELL ON TOP OF ME. Jackass. He does it on purpose just to annoy me I swear. Then came back inside and went upstairs and watched Youtube videos. Specifically the There She Is mini-series. I was listening to my iPod and one of the songs from the series came on, and I said to my Korean friend, "Hey I have Korean music on here." I showed him and he went, "OH this song!!" And then we started talking excitedly about the series and decided to watch it on Youtube. After that, the host of the party wanted to sleep -- it was about 11, he had to work the next day, and he's a big baby -- so we went downstairs and I left pretty much immediately afterwards. There was a ride shipping out and I jumped at the opportunity to not have to call my mother and beg. Incidentally all the people who left with that ride happened to be all the white people at the party -- 4 in all including myself. It was totally coincidental but also hilarious.

So, yeah, that's all the news that's new here. Today was a pretty hectic day.

On an actual SCHOOL-RELATED note, AP scores are officially open to be reported today. At the BBQ we realized this and all pulled out our numbers excitedly. However, as we found out when the first of us called in, you need to pay to get your score early. We're cheap, so none of us did. They send out the paper transcript of your marks in mid-July, so we should get them by August.

On a personal note I'm feeling sort of emotionally confused right now. It's becoming more and more apparant that they guy I'm interested in isn't interested back and will probably never be interested back. So I have to wonder where things stand as far as my feelings go, and what I should do about it. Some days I'm verging on being in love with him, and then days like today I'm ready to give up on him.

To make it worse I'm noticing that I'm seemingly really compatible personality-wise with another guy. I don't really see him in a romantic light but it still makes me confused with the guy I DO like -- like, if I can talk more easily with another guy, does that mean the guy I like isn't totally compatible with me? Y'know? I kind of held the guy I like on a pedestal, I actually thought/still sort of think he's perfect for me, but there's all these things... But then like there's lots of people who have close friends of the opposite gender that get along with them in a totally different way than they do their significant other. Y'know?

I honestly think, at this point, that the only thing that's wrong with him FOR ME is that he doesn't like me back. If he could somehow like me back romantically... Yeah. I think things would be good.

ANYWAYS.

Seeing as how today is now technically July 2nd (it's 1:36 AM as I write this), it's time for the task of Day 2 -- My Favourite Movie!!

This is a difficult topic for me as I don't like a lot of movies, and the movies I do like I watch over and over and over again until the things I love about them become boring.

However, if I had to choose a favourite movie, I would probably choose Serenity, the movie made from the cult classic show Firefly.

Not a surprise, I know. But Serenity is essentially an extension of Firefly, more or less like a 2 hour-long episode. The characters are well-developed and absolutely lovable, the plot is solid, the script is fan-fucking-tabulous, and, for Firefly fans like myself, there is a lovely amount of exposition.

The only reasons I dislike this film is because of certain events towards the end of the movie that make it basically impossible to create a continuation of Firefly. And also because with these events, certain questions about the plot are left unsolved. Fans will know what I'm talking about. I'm trying not to spoil it.

Anyways, I'm getting sleepy. Understandable, I only slept 6 hours last night and spent the entire day with extremely energetic people trekking around the city. I'll write tomorrow!
