Friends

So, I pretty much have the best friends in the world. I know everyone says that, but it's actually true. Now that one of my best friends is working, it's pretty hard to get together. So, between my pretty hectic school schedule, her working schedule, and my other friend's rock climbing schedule, it sucks. But when we hang out, we have so much fun. We make videos of us goofing off and we make parodies of movies and shows. Anyway, that's what I wanted to talk about today. Kind of boring, but I'm in a boring mood....the only thing that takes the boredom away is watching my favorite show about other friends, which is correctly titled Friends. Chandler Bing = the funniest (and my favorite) character ever. Phoebe Buffay = crazy and awesome. Joey Tribbiani = the epitome of cool. Rachel Green = what character had more stylish clothes or better hairstyles? Ross Geller = kind of whiny but I loved his relationship with Rachel. Monica Geller = the character I relate to more than any other character...ever. Anyway, that show rocks. :)

Movie Review: Save the Last Dance

Save the Last Dance (2001)
Starring: Julia Stiles and Sean Patrick Thomas
Characters: Sara and Derek
Directed by: Thomas Carter
Tagline: The only person you need to be is yourself
Grade: B+

I love dance movies. I love dancing, so obviously I would love movies in which the characters dance. This was a pretty good dance movie, not one of the best, but still pretty good. I might be biased because my favorite dance movie is Step Up and Step Up 2 The Streets, which are both amazing. But this one was still pretty awesome. The movie is about a ballerina (Sara) who has to move in with her father, who lives in a pretty rough neighborhood, after her mother dies. There, she meets Derek, who is a very smart guy that wants to be a doctor. Sara decides that she wants to learn how to dance in a club, instead of just ballet. As he teaches her to dance, they start liking each other, which starts a lot of talk. One of the things I didn't like so much about this movie was all of the racial stuff, which I thought took away from the main point of the movie. Another thing I didn't like so much was the lack of dancing. There are a couple scenes, which are very short, where Derek is teaching her how to dance and a couple of club scenes. Other than those and the very long scene at the end, when Sara auditions for Julliard, there's not a whole lot of dancing. So, overall, a pretty good movie...it's a movie that involves dancing, I just wouldn't exactly call it a "dance" movie.

Dating...and other stuff

So, as I said in the last post, I recently dated I guy that I know now I shouldn't have. Because of that, I have decided not to date guys until college. Hopefully, they will at least be more mature than most my age are. (Although, they still won't be mature...I guess that's too much to ask.) Anyway, nothing happened today except my math tutor, Roy, came over today. Which translates into a pretty boring day, I guess. I listened to Sterling Knight's new song Starstruck, from his movie of the same name. It should be pretty good, Disney Channel movies have been getting better lately, but even if it isn't I'll probably still like it...cause Sterling Knight is pretty cool. Anyways, as I was watching a movie called The Thing Called Love I was reminded of a song that I knew of but didn't like until my personal favorite Idol besides Carrie Underwood, otherwise known as Allison Iraheta, sang it on American Idol. It's called "Blame it on Your Heart", which of course everyone knows of. Anyway, the beginning of the song goes:

"You've got a thing or two to learn about me baby
Cause I ain't taking it no more and I don't mean maybe
You don't know right from wrong and the love we had is gone
So blame it on your lyin cheatin cold dead beatin two timin double dealin mean mistreating loving heart.

Well all I wanted was to be your one and only
And all I ever got from you was bein lonely
That dream has laid to rest
Cause you have failed the test
Hey blame it on your lyin cheatin cold dead beatin two timin double dealin mean mistreating loving heart."

That's what I love about country songs so much: they dig into guys. lol but it's true. And a lot of times that's what guys need, cause they're only going to do it to the next girl they meet. And I'm the kind of girl that wants to help the next girl, because I know how hard it's going to be for her when she realizes he really isn't the boy of her dreams. But it always helps to know which breakup song to listen to. I believe Taylor Swift has all the answers. :) If you're mad, you can go for "Picture to Burn". Or, if you're in a softer mood, "White Horse" or "You're Not Sorry". If there's a boy that's cheated on you, you can listen to "Should've Said No" and if there's a boy that promised to always love you, but changed his mind, "Forever & Always". She even has you covered if you want to listen to a song about loving a great guy ("Hey Stephen"), Romeo and Juliet ("Love Story"), loving the guy that doesn't love you back ("You Belong With Me"...and the video has Lucas Till...you can't lose!), a guy that you adore ("Jump Then Fall"), or a song about being so in love with a guy, that it makes you brave and want to "dance in a storm in my best dress fearless" ("Fearless"), which is a personal favorite of mine. Funny enough, even though I've had all this trouble with this stupid, stupid boy my favorite Taylor Swift song is Love Story...I guess I'm just a hopeless romantic at heart...now I just need to find my Romeo....Romeo Romeo where for art thou Romeo?? Romeo?!?!?!...stupid boys. :)
