  • Slow day.

    I went to see The Iron Lady today.  I won't lie, I liked it.  A lot.  I still feel like Rooney Mara deserved the Oscar, but I'm done complaining. 

    There was a quote in the movie that I really liked.

    "Watch your thoughts for they become words.  Watch your words for they become actions.  Watch your actions for they become...habits.  Watch your habits, for they become your character.  And watch your character, for it becomes your destiny!  What we think we become."

    I went to see the movie by myself.  Everyone I know seems to think I don't get out enough, which is silly.  I get out plenty.  I just do a lot of things by myself.  I invited my best friend, but she was still in class.  And when I told her, she thought I was talking about that Daniel Radcliffe horror movie.  "What's The Iron Lady?" she asked me.  Holy Bojangles.  -_-

    Anywho, there's a party at an old friend of mine's house.  I haven't seen this guy since he graduated high school, and he was two years ahead of me.  I only interact with him every once in a while on Facebook, but he's been going to UNLV for the past few years.  My bestie stayed in-state for school as well, so she's gotten to know him better than I did.  She's out of class now...I don't know if I'll go.  I kind of want to just go to bed.

  • What happened on your birthday?

    I turn 21 on March 15th.  Julius Ceasar was murdered on March 15th, 44 BC, I believe.

    On March 15th, 2008, this kid at my high school named Nate killed himself.  He was two grades lower than me and I didn't know him at all.  I showed up to school with balloons and cupcakes for my birthday, not knowing this guy had killed himself, and everyone thought I was horrible.  A few people told me to show some respect and told me I was a selfish bitch.  I felt pretty terrible, but I still passed out cupcakes.  Sorry, Nate.  

    Woody Harrleson's father, Charles Harrelson, died on March 15th 2007.

    H.P. Lovecraft died on March 15th, 1937.

     

    It's not all death and tears on my birthday though.  Fabio was born on March 15th.  Thank God.

    Bobby Bonds, father of Barry Bonds.  Go Giants!

    will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas.

    Eva Longoria, actress.

    Ry Cooder, singer and guitarist.  My parents love him.

    Andrew Jackson, 7th president of the United States.

    Takeuchi Naoko, creator of Sailor Moon.

    Cesare Beccaria, philosopher.  I've been learning about him in my Criminal Justice class.

    Young Buck, rapper. 

    "I know you gon' let me shine n' get mine!
    I know you gon' let me in with this nine!
    I know you gon' let me smoke on my weed!
    I know you gon' let me drink with no I.D.!"

     

    I remember dancing to that when I was 13, not knowing what the hell he was talking about.  Still liked the song though.

     

    On March 15th, 1493, Columbus returned to Spain after his first visit to the Americas.  I don't know why he's given so much credit, he wasn't even the first one there.

    Maine became the 23rd state on March 15th, 1820.

    The Nazis invaded Czechoslovakia on March 15th, 1939.  Bye-bye, Czechoslovakia.

     Did anyone die on your birthday that you know?  Do you share your birthday with anyone famous?

  • Picking baby names when you don't have a baby...

    My friend doesn't have a husband.  She doesn't have a boyfriend.  She's not pregnant.  Yet she's already picking out baby names for when she has children...because obviously, she will.

    I've never understood that.  I had baby names picked out for my "future children," but that was when I was seven years old and playing with Barbie and Ken in my dreamhouse.  I've never been a fan of planning out your life in the sense that you know exactly what kind of person you want to marry, exactly what you want to name your kids, and all of that stuff that deals with relationships.  I've got myself on track for when I want to graduate and where I want some of my goals to head, but I'm not making a damn grocery list of the kind of family I want.  Life is random, and I think that people who plan their lives like that will be in for a rude shock...  Especially for people like my friend, who are in their early twenties...you've got your whole life ahead of you.  I don't know why people think they can control exactly where and how they're going to end up as far as their love life is concerned like they're following a manual.  Life isn't like that.  Besides, people change.  Five years from now, my friend may never want to have children. 

    And what if your husband or wife thinks the baby names you picked suck? @_@  If I ever have kids, I'd want my husband or boyfriend to be a part of the name-choosing process.
