   C'mon, at least some of ya'll gotta remember Stick, the Nickelodeon popsicle stick with a squeaky voice that would tell himself to simmer down when he got excited.

N.E.waiz, I'll keep this post short cuz yeah *looks at previous posts* they're kinda long. We took our senior pictures today. We don't have to buy them until we see the proofs. I had to wear make-up. I hate it. I never felt comfortable in it but my mom is going through an, "Oh my last baby is going through her last year in high school" stage so she said I had to look extra nice so I just let her do what she wanted. I argued about the mascara tho....
N.E.waiz, we took 2 cap & gown poses. One serious one and one where we're smiling. It's weird though cuz when they told us to be serious, it was hard not to laugh. But when they told us to smile, it was hard to smile. Every one of my friends I asked said they had the same problem. I hope they come out good. If not, we'll just have to go take some better professional ones.

Oh yeah!! Before I go! I'm applying to the University of Texas at Austin, St. Edward's University, & University of Texas at San Antonio. Wish me luck that I get into one of them (preferrebly one of the first 2 otherwise I stay in San Anto and that's bad for me). I really wanna leave San Antonio. I'll also be applying for a number of scholarships including the ones UT Austin has. St. Edward's automatically considers you for a scholarship when you apply for acceptance. So just wish me tons of luck that I get into the colleges of my choice and that I get as many scholarships as average studently possible. ^.^

Lata daiz & lotsa luv,

   It may seem like my english teacher is a really kewl teacher right? Well, that's true.... sometimes. I hate it when he gives us homework cuz when he does it's a shload of werk. I know that I'll most likely have more when I go to college but still. He gave us the following assignments:
1) Read the Pardoner's Tale, the Knight's Tale, The Miller's Tale, The Reeve's Tale, A tale of our choice and a character's tale that we picked. (already finished the first 2)
2) write a summary on each of the tale (again, I already did the first 2)
3) write an essay about our favorite food using taste, smell and other such words.
4) pg 51 #s 1-10 in our workbook.
All due monday. I hate it when he does that. Dude, this dude owes my parents a pack of computer paper already cuz our Canterbury Tales book doesn't have The Miller's, Reeve's or Merchant's (my character's) Tale. Do ya'll know how many pages they come out to??

But he's a purty kewl teacher. He does let us eat and he jokes around with us and we have fun in there. But when he gives work, he's a college teacher. "Read pages 1- 1,000,000 and give me an essay on it by tomorrow" Okay, maybe that's an exageration but still.

Anyway!!!! He and another English teacher are gonna get permission from the principal to have a Renissance (spell check!!) Fair in April. That'd be kewl, as long as it doesn't land on my birthday. (pss, it's the 13th of april in case ya didn't know). I think that's a good idea. I've had both of those teachers that wanna get it started before so they know that I like the Renissance and all that jazz.

Okay! Enough about school!! Let's move on to manga!!! I just bought vol. 6 of Alice 19th. I luv it!! ^.^ Actually, I luv anything by Yuu Watase. Heheh.

Next subject, more 80's movies. So, what are ya'll's favorite ones?? Like I said, my all-time fav. 80's movie is Ferris Bueller. But close enough to first (maybe 1st and a half.) are 16 Candles, The Breakfast Club, Say Anything and Gremlins. I also like the Goonies but I don't really include it cuz I've never seen all of it. Yeah, sometimes I wonder what happened to most of them. Molly Ringwald, Anthony Micheal Hall, Ally Sheedy (spell check!), Judd Nelson (Bender, my mom says that he really messed up his life, but I dunno for sure), Baby (the girl in Dirty Dancing, can't remember her name). We know how John Cusack, Patrick Swayze, Sean Astin, & Cameron (from Ferris Bueller, he was in Cheaper by the Dozen) are doin. VH1 should make a Where Are They Now: 80's movie stars. Unless they already made one and I never saw it. I should go check it out.
As for lines from Breakfast Club sailor firestar, one of my favorites is when Bender answers Mr.Vernon's question, "...what if your dope, was on fire?" with: "Impossible sir, it's in Johnson's underwear."
I like the scene at the end before allison (ally sheedy) leaves when she just tears off Andrew's (Emilio Estevez's) lettermen patch.

Here's some interesting trivia from the Breakfast Club from fast-rewind.com:
*Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall were dating in real life at the time (thanks to Caitlin Foto)
*Although the Breakfast Club was supposed to have been set in Chicago, Brian Johnson's social security number, as told by Ally Sheedy, is a Connecticut number. It begins with the digits 049, which is from Connecticut. (thanks to Matto).
*Judd Nelson made up many of the terms used in the movie including “Neo-Maxi-Zoomdweebie” and the infamous Joke (to which there is no ending-or is there?)

The joke that Bender tells but never finishes (while crawling through the ceiling) actually has no punchline. According to Judd Nelson, he adlibbed the line. Originally, he was supposed to tell a joke that would end when he came back into the library and said, “Forgot my pencil”, but no one could come up with a joke for that punchline, (Thanks to Ashley)
*John Hughes played Brian’s (Anthony Michael Hall) dad at the end. You can see him waiting in the car. Also, Brian’s mother and sister at the beginning were played by his real mother and sister. (Thanks to Becky)

Now for some Ferris Bueller trivia!!
*In Ferris’s family, everyone was romantically involved! Matthew Broderick was in real life seeing Jennifer Grey at the time of filming, as were his ‘parents’ in real life –they were married shortly after the movie was completed.
*At the end of “twist and shout”, Matthew Broderick leans back and falls into the hands of the German girls. If you notice they weren’t exactly looking…he fell a little too early and they almost dropped him!
*The German day carnival seen in the movie was a genuine carnival that just happened to be on during the shooting schedule. The filmmakers added their own float to the parade and many onlookers were genuinely very bemused. People genuinely got into the spirit during Ferris’s ‘concert’ and many of the shots of people dancing were genuine reactions from the crowd.
*At the time of filming, Alan Ruck, who played Cameron, was about 30 years old. He was born in 1956 or 57, no one believes it though! (thanks to Kevin Allustiarti)

Let's see some Princess Bride trivia!! ^.^ luv that movie also.
*The countries in the story, Guilder and Florin, are not real countries but the name of two Dutch coins. (thanks to Chris Casino)
*The quote: “My name is Inigo Montoya; you killed my father; prepare to die!” was stated in a recent poll to be one of the most recognized quotes from a movie. In 1997[at one of his concerts, Mandy Patinkin] finished his main performance and…the audience stood and demanded and encore. The stage was dark for several minutes. Then a single spotlight came on, Mandy walked out to the microphone, and repeated that famous line. The audience went crazy and it was another several minutes before he could begin his actual encore song. (thanks to Elizabeth)
*When the Count whaps Westly over the head, the actor playing Westly (Cary Elwes) told the Count (Christopher Guest) to really go all out and hit him. Well, he did and production had to be shut down for a day while Elwes made and unscheduled trip to the hospital! (thanks to Dani Krejci)
*Andre the Giant (who played Fezzik) passed away in….I believe it was 1994. (My own piece of info.

Okay, that's enough for one night. Ya'll can go back to living your own lives already.... ifa ya'll haven't done so yet. (Obviously not, you're still reading this ^.^)

Lata daiz & lotsa luv,
