~Here we go guys! These are quotes from 15 of my favorite movies, not really in any specific order other than the way they popped into my head. The first to guess them all (or the most) will win my undying affection! The game is done once they've all been guessed!

-----------------------------------------------------

1~ "Helena. Helen. Helen-nun-nuh... it's a bit drab, isn't it? You know, you should think about changing that. Go for something with a bit of dignity and style, mixed with a bit of romance. Something like... 'Valentine'." / "Why? What's your name?" / "Valentine."

2~ "Yeah, I mean what are you? Just sitting back here, hating everyone? Who are you to judge anyone? God, I really loved you a lot. I couldn't stand it. I had to get with people. I couldn't have a life with you anymore."

3~ "Read it, control it, unhinge it. In the past it was often the Dark Lord's pleasure to invade the minds of his victims, creating visions designed to torture them into madness. Only after extracting the last exquisite ounce of agony, only when he had them literally begging for death would he finally... kill them. Used properly, the power of Occlumency will help shield you from access or influence. In these lessons I will attempt to penetrate your mind. You will attempt to resist. Prepare yourself! Legillimens!" 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' - Gene.

4~ "Your Majesty, I broke my promise. I opened the forbidden door. I'm very sorry." / "Hm. Your courage destroyed the Nightmare King and his evil kingdom is gone forever."

5~ "Twas a long time ago, longer now than it seems in a place perhaps you've seen in your dreams. For the story you're about to be told began with the holiday worlds of old. Now you've probably wondered where holidays come from. If you haven't I'd say it's time you begun." 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' - Austen.

6~ "Oh, believe me, that's enough! But the worst thing is, if you so much as set a foot in the Bog of Stench, you'll smell bad for the rest of your life. It'll never wash off."

7~ "But captain, to obey - just like that - for obedience's sake... without questioning... That's something only people like you do." 'Pan's Labyrinth' - graffiti.

8~ "Is there any reason you shouldn't be in this man's Army?" / "I'm a cross-dressing homosexual pacifist with a spot on my lung." / "As long as you don't have flat feet." 'Across the Universe' - Gene.

9~ "A tree. There was a white tree in a courtyard of stone. It was dead. The city was burning." 'LOTR: Return of the King' - Richard.

10~ "His chops are too righteous. The helmets can't handle this level of rock 'n' roll. Karen, do something!"

11~ "You just couldn't let me go could you? This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You truly are incorruptible aren't you? You won't kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness, and I won't kill you, because you're just too much fun. I think you and I are destined to do this forever." / "You'll be in a padded cell forever." / "Maybe we can share one. They'll be doubling up, the rate this city's inhabitants are losing their minds." 'The Dark Knight' - Gene.

12~ "That's it, Doom. Give me another excuse to pump you full of lead. So you thought you could get away with it, didn't you? Ha! We toons may act idiotic, but we're not stupid. We demand justice. Why, the real meaning of the word probably hits you like a ton of bricks." 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?' - Gene.

13~ "That? What just happened to you there? That's nothing, you just been playing around with a ghost, wait til somebody lets out the darkness in this place, that's a whole... that's a whole new bunch of crazy shit, that's - you'll hate that shit."

14~ "I just want to lay with her so badly." / "I don't see it. I mean she's cute, but I don't think I'd lay with her." / "She's your sister. I mean, it would be like laying with your mother." / "Which was a BIG mistake, I see that now." 'Year One' - Amanda.

15~ "I can't believe I'm running from a cat!" / "I won't tell if you won't." / Of course, this isn't your ordinary house cat. This is like Arnold Schwarzen-kitty!" 'Homeward Bound' - Gene.

Dust In The Wind

I close my eyes
Only for a moment
And the moment's gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

Same old song
Just a drop of water
In the endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground
Though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

Now, don't hang on
Nothing last forever
But the earth and sky
It slips away

And all your money
Won't another minute buy

Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind.




I don't know why, but I feel empty. Hollow... and I just want to break down and cry. And scream. But I can't. I just can't. I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't know what to do anymore.

I don't know how much longer I can keep doing this to myself. To the people around me...

21 Candles.

Hey, its been a while.

So I turned 21 on April 27th, but didn't really celebrate. Weird, I know.

Anyway, here's a video of Zach (guitar) and Sam and their cool little jam session they did in my apartment.

Yes, that's me in the background, being anti-social and playing WoW, or something. Colby and Kaleb are playing League of Legends, you can hear Kaleb get angry and shout at the game. Colby took the video.



Soooo, that's that.

What's happened recently, hmm. Colby left for Texas this morning, he'll be back on the 16th. I'm home alone. No car, no money, no friends. Hurray!

Pierced my eyebrow again on St. Patrick's Day, since the two places I went to for my tattoo were booked.

Still working at Target, got a nifty 7 cent raise and a really bad review. Still pissed about that.

Colby got fired, so that sucks.

Turned 21, but I already said that...

Things are... stable. Kind of. THINGS are stable, but I'm losing my fucking mind.

Anyway, thanks for reading, I'll write some other time when my head doesn't feel like its about to explode.
