Resolutions
So here I have my very first entry! And as you can see, I am going to list my resolutions. My probability of keeping them, I am sorry to say, is already very low- but I shall plug right along as if I was sure in my discipline to follow my own rules. So without further adue- my masterpiece:1) To write everyday, be it in here, my little black spiral, or Word where my novel awaits2) To excercise more often (half hour three times a week at least)3) To do my homework the day I get it, instead of waiting until the last possible moment4) To quit worrying so much about everything! Lighten up already, self!I wrote all of those down on a new post- it note and stuck it to the map above my desk, in hopes that seeing it everyday will guilt me into actually doing the things listed above. So far, so.... *cough* ... never mind.
Revenge
So I was watching Gladiator the other day and I was regretfully thinking, 'They just don't do revenge like they used to...' And they, whoever my mind thought "they" were, so don't. Gladiator, The Last of the Mohicans, Braveheart- I give you my full love. These characters just can't rest until their revenge and goals are accomplished. Some succeed, like Hawkeye from the Mochicans, some are bittersweet like Maximus' defeat of Commodus but loss of his friends, and some try valiently but fail, like Hawkeye's "brother".But seriously, I love the revenge scenes- my mother leaves the room with her fingers splayed over her eyes, my father remains silent, but if you watch closely, his eyebrows go up at particularly bloody parts, and my brother chooses not to see the movie at all. But I revel in the scenes- I sit up straighter, bounce up and down, cheer on the hero or heroine, curse the antagonist, gasp loudly when things go wrong, punch the air, and otherwise draw attention to myself. I can't help it- they're AWESOMELY powerful moments. The music score is always at its best at the tense fight scenes, the suspense tripled, the special effect gore and blood come in the bucketfulls- and I love it.*Sigh* I need to go watch Gladiator again when I'm done here...
The Hope
This hope that I speak of is the lingering, tiny, helplessly taunting, and life shattering chance that tonight it will ice. That's right, you read it right- ice. Yup- and that means a dely or -dare I say it?- a snow day. I hope typing it down didn't curse it or something- oh, please, snow goddess, pardon my ignorance! And this is the last day of Christmas break (Winter Break, if I want to be politically correct). That is the reason I cling and hold on by my fingernails to this- I will do so to anything that seems to offer me any more time to kick back and laze about for another one hour, two hours, or a DAY is too good to let fly by.So please, please, snow goddess- grant us school-bound minors another day. We are forever in your debt.
