Crap, crap, crap, crap, CRAP!!!!!!

Gah! I'm so stressed out right now, I can hardly believe it. I woke up this morning and my dad was gone, so when my mom called, we decided to go dress shopping for the wedding while Dad was wherever he was.

We went to David's Bridal, a beautiful, very elegant store. We bought a pink dress for me, and the same dress in yellow for Carrie. Mom is wearing an ice blue wedding dress, so it'll be like, a rainbow effect. We'd already ordered this gorgeous Australian crystal jewelery, and they just ordered the perfect wedding cake.

Well, we went back to my grandma Shoup's house for dinner, and while we were eating, Mike called and asked my mom, "Um... Wendy? How would you feel if someone were pretty late to the wedding?" Carrie is a cheerleader, and it turns out she has her first football game of the season scheduled for the night of the wedding! Carrie was sitting there crying because we didn't even think to ask her if she had plans for that day. We made sure Zach had the night of the wedding off of work, and we made sure Billy could come, but we forgot to check with Carrie!

We all feel really terrible about it. We've already sent out all of the wedding invitations, but we can't have the wedding without Carrie! She's Mike's *daughter* and we really want her there, and in the wedding! So we have to move the wedding to Friday, which means I'll have to call everyone on the guest list and ask them to come on Friday instead of Thursday.

Then Sarah called and was like, "Um, Holly? Can you do me a big favor? Can you ask someone to pick me up so I can spend the night with you tonight?" Her dad was drunk, so she didn't want to be there while he was. But my dad said she couldn't stay at his house, and my grandparents said they were scared to go to her house while her drunk father was there, especially at night time. And my mom had to get home to comfort Carrie and everything. I felt so terrible calling Sarah back and telling her no one could come and pick her up.

Oh man. What a day. I am stressed to the max just thinking about how stressed everyone else must be! Well... hopefully things will be better tomorrow. Later.

Mr. Bean Swore

While Zach was asleep this afternoon (poor dude, has to wrok 3rd shift), Dad and I went to see Rat Race. I must say that's the funniest movie I've ever seen! I have to give it the Hollarious stamp of approval.

The main reason I chose this movie was because Rowan Atkinson was in it. You know, Mr. Bean! Dude, before Daria existed, Mr. Bean was my favorite show! I love that man! Seth Green was in it, too, and I like him because, not only is he a vegan, but he's quite the hottie. And John Lovitz! I like him 'cause he did the voice of The Critic! My old favorite cartoon! Dude, this had all kinds of awesome people in it.

And dude, The Vinician is Las Vegas was in Rat Race! That's like, my fourth favorite casino! Rowan played some guy named Enriquo or something. He had narcolepsy (a sleeping disorder that Trent Lane has) so he kept falling asleep standing up and stuff. "What is he doing?! I bet on that guy!" Hehehe. That was funny. I'm going to see it again tomorrow with Zach and Sarah. See ya!

2) Jonathan Jackson because he may be hot as heck, but he's not stuck up about it, he's a vegetarian and he's got awesome morals.
3) 'N Sync. Dude, they've gotta work pretty dang hard at that dancing. I mean, wow. That's some good stuff. Plus, they're so totally sweethearts.
7. Name three works of art (books, songs, movies, etc.) that have changed your life.
1) "What About the Love?" by Amy Grant. I love this line-- "I looked into the mirror, proud as I could be... and I saw my pointing finger pointing back at me... sayin', 'Who named *you* accuser? Who gave *you* the scales?' I hung my head in sorrow. I could almost feel the nails."

Petfinder.com

Oh man, I've gotta cut this out. I've been sitting here going to sites like the one for the Humane Society, the Michigan Animal Rescue and just now, Pet Finder. Every time I go to those sites, I get all sad and start thinking about how much I want a pet at my dad's house, and how some of those animals aren't going to get adopted, and they'll be put to sleep, or they'll place them in bad homes. *Sniff*.

I already have three pets at my mom's house, and I always visit my grandparents' cat at their house. But I think a person can never have too many pets. And I don't know what the deal is, but ever since our cat, Tinsel died, my dad is like, "No, we can't get any more animals, ever!" Argh! Does he not realize that having a pet can prolong your life? Plus they're just nice to have around. And doesn't he understand that a bunch of animals at the Humane Society are being put to sleep because nobody wants to adopt them? Blargh! I want a pet at my dad's house! I won't even get three this time, I'll only get one!

But *sigh*, it's never going to happen. My dad is just too darned stubborn. You know what would be really great, though? If all the people without pets just went out and adopted at least one? That would make things a lot easier for me. I mean, think about it anyway!

Bye!

My Little Ponies

The theme says to talk about my favorite childhood toy. Well, I actually had 375 favorite childhood toys called My Little Ponies. When we were little and my brother did something good, his reward was a lousy Reeses. Mine was a My Little Pony. He totally got gyped!

I had tons of favorite dolls and stuffed animals, too, like my stuffed Strawberry Shortcake that Zach won out of a Big Choice for me. And I had this blue/green stuffed duck that sang in quacks that my grandparents got me when I was home sick from school. I used to talk and cry with that duck all the time.

The duck is now displayed in the corner of my room, the Strawberry Shortcake is down the basement with the rest of my stuffed animals, and the My Little Ponies are piled up in a storage doll house fashioned like a dance studio. Yup.

Oh, and I don't know if they count as toys, but when Zach and I were little, we used to draw these things we called "Paper People." I had like, a million of them, and he had like, 30. My paper people didn't have any arms or legs because I said they got blown off in a tornado, but the real reason was that I was too lazy to draw them.

Head Over Heels

I stayed at my mom's house last night, and we rented Head Over Heels. Holy guacamole, that was a good movie! Not only was Freddie Prinze, Jr. the main dude, but this chick who looked, acted and sounded just like (but wasn't) Julia Roberts. It was weird. Her name was Monica Potter.

The movie was about a girl named Amanda, who had a history of falling in love with pathological liars. For a living, she restored paintings that had something wrong with them. When a painting came in that she really loved, she'd get weak in the knees over it.

When Amanda found her boyfriend sleeping with a lingerie model in their bed, she realized she had to look for a new place to live. She decided to rent an apartment with these four models: Holly, Candi, Jade and Roxanna.

When a Hamlet, a huge dog, jumped on Amanda and tried to hump her, she met Jim, the guy who walked him. He was Freddie Prinze, Jr., so naturally, she fell for him. In fact, he was the first guy she'd ever gotten weak in the knees over.

When Amanda realized she could see into Jim's apartment from hers, she and the models began spying on him, along with her hilarious model friends. The night Jim kissed Amanda and asked her out, she spied on him from her apartment. She saw him with another woman! And what he was doing with the other woman *really* bothered her... He appeared to be killing her!

So, a lot of the movie consisted of Amanda, Jade, Holly, Roxanna and Candi doing a background check on Jim to make sure it was safe for Amanda to go out with him.

This was definitely one of the best movies I've ever seen (of course Shrek and Moulin Rouge come first). Awesome. Go rent it now, and tell me that girl doesn't remind you of Julia Roberts. It's weird.

Okay, see ya.

In a pickle with Daria fan fiction

You know what really sucks? I've been trying to write this Daria fan fic', "You Snooze, You Lose" for a little more than a year. But it seems I'm unable to write it! *Pouts* I need inspiration. Where in the heck do ya *find* inspiration? It's like inspiration took one look at me and ran off screaming into the night. Anyway, here's a movie-type preview to my tough-to-write story, "You Snooze, You Lose."

(Music: "Leave it All Behind" by Amy Grant."
Daria goes with Tom to The Cove to stay with him and his family for a weekend. It's obvious that Tom's family isn't taking too kindly to anything Daria does. Upset by this, Daria asks Tom to take her home, but he promises he'll make this humiliating weekend up to her later, and they stay.
The next day at breakfast, Daria offhandedly mentions her fear of the water. The next thing she knows, the Sloanes are excitedly talking about going sailing to get Daria over her fear. After a lot of begging, they talk her into it. Unfortunately, Tom's uncle doesn't have a TV at his boathouse, so they can't check the weather reports before they set sail. A huge storm hits while they're out on the water, and Tom falls out of the ship. Daria freaks, and jumps in to save her boyfriend, despite her fear of the water. When Elsie (Tom's sister) realizes Daria's not doing too good out there, she jumps in to rescue her. Elsie manages to drag Daria out of the water, but Tom's nowhere in sight...
After Tom's funeral, everyone at the Morgendorffer house acts awkward around Daria, so she spends most of her time at Jane's. Even though Jane's being a great friend, Daria seems even more depressed than usual. The only person she doesn't seem heartbroken around is Trent. Trent's always been happy to be around Daria, but now he almost seems smitten with her... awesome...
(Music: "Somebody Else's Song" by Lifehouse.")
...but is she cracking up or does Trent seem... different somehow? Nearly every time she's around him, it feels like deja vu. And since when does Trent read Poe? Trent used to sleep eighteen hours a day, not eighteen *minutes*! He hardly ever even plays his guitar anymore. All of this is strange behavior for Trent, but when he gets thrown in prison for attempted murder of the Sloanes, Daria and Jane know something's up.

(12) Do you feel a little funny thinking about the questions in this section? No.
HUMOR

(32) What's your favorite kind of cheese? Soy.
(33) What do you think your answer to the previous question reveals about your personality? I prefer the stuff that's really hard to find in life.
(34) If you knew exactly what went into Chinese food, hamburger meat, etc., would you still eat it? I don't eat it now, why should I start?
(35) Do you ever feel guilty eating meat? Since I *don't* eat meat, no. But if I did, I'd probably feel so guilty, I'd throw myself in front of a train.
(36) Mac or PC? PC, I guess. That's what I have. But Mac looks prettier.
(37) How much do you actually care about the inner workings of your computer, as long as it works? I couldn't care less as long as it runs fast.
(38) Do you ever begin preferring IMs to other forms of conversation? No. I usually turn my IMs off so nobody bothers me while I'm reading Daria fan fiction.
(39) Do you find you're different talking through IMs than face-to-face or on the telephone? No. I talk exactly the same. Yes, that's right, I say "brb" in regular conversations.
(40) Have you ever ended bid on something on eBay and regretted it later? No, I don't use eBay.
(41) Have you ever wished you could experience being the other gender? When I was little, I thought it would suck to get pregnant, yet I knew I someday wanted kids, so I wished I were a guy. Now I'm *thrilled* I'm a girl.
(42) What do you love most about the other gender? I don't know. Sometimes they're hot and sweet, I guess.

(44) What do you understand least about the other gender? Why the heck *do* they turn into jerks around their friends?
(45) Do you sometimes see a movie or watch a show just because a good-looking celebrity is in it? Yeah. That's what happened with "The Legend of Bagger Vance" and "The Talented Mr. Ripley." And "The Beach." But I gave up about half-way through every one of those.
(46) What celebrity's autograph do you want most? "Weird Al" Yankovic's.
(47) Have people ever said you looked like a celebrity, and if so, who? No.
(48) If there was to be a movie about you, who do you think should play you (in personality, looks or both)? Rosie O'Donnel.
(49) Does it ever annoy you when you know someone is a celebrity but you can't remember why? Yes. Eminem and Howard Stern.
(50) If you could enter any celebrity's mind like in "Being John Malkovich", whose would you enter? Is that what happened in that movie? I'm going to have to rent that, it sounds cool. Oh yeah, does Glenn Eiclher (the creater of Daria) count? I'd be like, "Glenn, taking Daria off the air is a bad idea! Having Daria and Trent hook up is a good idea!"
(51) Do you want to be John Malkovich? No thank you.

Am I 17 or 71?

Uh... what's my age again? I checked my birth certificate... I was apparently born in '84. I checked with my parents... they said I'm 17. But I don't get it. I act like an old woman. Here are the following signs that I'm really a 71 year old in an overweight 17-year-old's body.

1. I don't like swearing. I simply can't understand why people swear. It sounds to me like they have quite the lack of vocabulary.

2. I watch football and say, "Those boys must have so many bruises. Oooh! Is he okay?!"

3. I'm very opposed to drugs (counting alcohol). They warn us in health class and D.A.R.E. about the dangers of drugs. But then kids do it anyway!

4. I'd much rather watch The Little Mermaid than Road Trip.

5. I hear stuff like Korn and Eminem and say, "You call this music?! It's just noise!"

6. I've often pulled so much hair out of my brush, I used to think I was going bald.

7. Madanna? She's not someone to idolize! What about that nice man, Fred Rogers? Now there's a role model!

8. I sometimes catch myself watching QVC and infomercials.

9. I think Barbara Walters is one of the coolest television personalities on the air.

10. I say things like "Yes, my dear!" and "Splendid!"


Isn't there something a bit peculiar about me? My eighteenth birthday will be this winter! I must be getting old!

Red Mill... or in French, Moulin Rouge!

Molin Rouge was *such* a good movie! Oh, man! It's like... the best movie I've ever seen in my life! And whoa! That main guy is such a hottie. Dang.

I must have cried about ten times during that movie. I went to see it today with my grandparents Shoup and my mom. Grandma kept having to pass my more and more Kleenexes because every time I stopped crying, I just started back up again. I felt really refreshed after all that crying, though, heheh.

I thought Nicole Kidman's character's name was cool... Satine. I really liked that. Her singing voice really surprised me... she's awesome. And every time that guy, Christian sang, I was like, "Whoa..." It wasn't just that he was hot and had an amazing singing voice, though. What got me was that he was so sweet.

Another thing that I thought was cool about Moulin Rouge was that it was a musical. There aren't very many musicals anymore, and they're my favorite type of movie.

I can't wait till Moulin Rouge comes out on video. I'm so totally going to buy it.

Okay, see ya.
