Check it out! This is the #4 Best Way To Feel Awesome About Yourself! (Giving it a random number and capital letters makes it sound like it's part of an official list or something).
So, way #4 is to make a list of everything you're awesome at.
Here's mine! (No, this isn't an excuse to brag about myself. What are you, trying to make me seem self-obsessed?)
1. I can do a running commentary of any movie. Seriously. If you need someone to talk you through literally every scene of a movie, no matter how long it is, I can do that.
2. I'm a super awesome interior designer. If you didn't see my freshman dorm decor, it had great posters. Hockey, Star Trek (Original series, duh), the new James Bond, and plus, I just ordered two new Big Bang Theory posters.
3. I tan really, really well. I take credit for that, regardless of the fact that I don't really have much to do with that happening.
4. I'm great at naming things. Like Alex and Sid, my laptop and netbook. The xbox will be named soon, as will the controller. I'm thinking Sheldon and Leonard.
5. I can take Tylenol/Advil like a champ. I don't make faces or anything! That takes some serious skill, because while Tylenol has a candyish coating, Advil doesn't.
6. I think of awesome stuff like this list.
Yeah, I'm avoiding doing homework.

Movie review time!
The title makes it seem like I've done this before. Except I haven't, so.
Movie Review #475 (Everyone's favourite weekly update!):
(Yeah, that was a lie).
I just watched Flicka 2! Jamie made me do it. And here are all the reasons I hated it!
1. The chick. Oh, man, I hated the chick. She kept sassing everyone! She sassed her dad, even!
2. The fact that they keep on saying "Flicka means 'beautiful girl'. IT DOESN'T. It means GIRL. Just girl. No "beautiful". JUST. GIRL. It's Swedish. I know that word in Swedish. THIS MOVIE IS BUILT ON A LIE.
3. Also, why didn't they name the baby horse Pojke? That means boy. We could lie some more and say it means "handsome boy" BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THIS MOVIE DOES. IT LIES.
4. The chick! Again! She drives me crazy! She was SO MEAN to that poor guy! He kissed her, and then she goes "You're a hick!" ooooh, country burn.
5. The guy! He's like TWENTY FOUR and the chick is like FIFTEEN. No. No. No.
6. The guy takes her back! She insults him to his face, and he ignores her for about twenty minutes, then he wants to be besties again! HAVE YOU NO SELF RESPECT?
7. The chick breaking the rules! Breaking the law! Someone ought to send her to military school so she'll learn rule following.
8. The fact that she learns to horseback ride in like, two days.
9. And hello, she called him a hick to his face! (This did, however, inspire The Hick Rule. If I ever date someone from the midwest, my sister is not allowed to refer to him as a hick. That's the rule).
Anyways. Here's all the things I liked about Flicka 2!
I couldn't think of anything. Well, the dude was pretty cool. So there's that.

The perfect roommate ad
weird comments by people that read
I think it's weird when people say "I wish I wrote that" when they like something they've read.
Because, really. I wrote it. It's mine. And they can't have it.
Weird.

Retracting a statement on poetry
It has come to my attention that I have to retract a statement I made before. Actually, more accurately, a statement I have said at least eight thousand, four hundred, and sixty-seven times in the past nine years.
Many, many times, (8, 467), I have said that I hate poetry. While I still hate writing it- passionately!- I have to admit that I do not hate analyzing it. Analyzing poetry can actually be really interesting.
So, I take back my hatred of reading and analyzing poetry, and offer my super awesome poetry project as a public apology.

(I'm also offering it to my professor in exchange for a good grade, but that's beside the point).

Educational Goals!
That title sounds like I really know what I'm doing! I like that. Because I don't plan what I write, and sounding like I have a plan in mind sounds very professional.
Anyways, the point of that title was to say that I think I'd like to get a doctorate. Not exactly sure what subject yet, but it'll be something useful. But yeah. That was the decision this week.
I was watching Big Bang Theory all this week! (Also, I'm using crutches. Irrelevant, yet still interesting. I hurt my foot slightly). And there was this really, really geeky part. One of the guys was playing one of those text-based games. If you've never seen those, it's like a video game. But it's only text on a black screen. And you input your movements. So it's like this:
You are in a forest. There is forest to the west. There is a path to the east.
Input:
Go east
There is a forest to the west. There is a field to the east. In the field, there is a tree.
Input:
Go to the tree.
And it goes on just like that, for quite a while. It's kind of boring, and very geeky. Anyways, I thought it was sad that I've actually played stuff like that. It's like, ultimate geekness when you identify with stuff like that show. (Equally geeky is when relationships don't work "because we're not the same kind of geek". It's actually very funny).
Also, I think I've officially decided. I'm a dog person, not a cat person. It's because I don't think I'd like having to wonder whether my pet likes me or not.
