I just wanted to let you know that Midnight in Paris is a SPECTACULAR, AMAZING, SUPER COOL MOVIE. It’s even better if you don’t look up the plot (my sister said she wanted to watch it with me without telling me what it was really about, and it made it so much more awesome)! It was directed by Woody Allen and stars Rachel McAdams and Owen Wilson, so if you’re into Allen films (or...

The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows: degrassé →
dictionaryofobscuresorrows:
adj. entranced and unsettled by the vastness of the universe, experienced in a jolt of recognition that the night sky is not just a wallpaper but a deeply foreign ocean whose currents are steadily carrying off all other castaways, who share our predicament but are already well out of…
ambedo
dictionaryofobscuresorrows:
n. a kind of melacholic trance in which you become completely absorbed in vivid sensory details—raindrops skittering down a window, tall trees leaning in the wind, clouds of cream swirling in your coffee—which leads to a dawning awareness of the haunting fragility of life, a mood whose only known cure is the vuvuzela.

I hope every stalker out there agrees. I posted some ugly stuff in the past… :|
PREACH. But I know I still will.
Chris: I haven’t seen The Proposal, but I mean they ARE in love with each other, and I guess it WOULD be suspicious that they’re marrying right as her visa expires, but I just think that would be hard to prove.
Joelle: *sigh* I agree. I just dislike it when the plot holes are THAT obvious.
Like Crazy
So I’m watching this movie called “Like Crazy” about this British girl in love with this American boy who can’t stay in America because her student visa is expiring and they’re all sad about how she has to go, and they go ON and ON about their love, and I’m just like “How about you get married, get her citizenship or a green card or whatever happens when...
Alhamdulillah (thank God) for parents who I have no doubt would wake up at any hour if I simply asked (mind you, if the reason was stupid, I’d probably get lectured, but this is still a pretty amazing feat).
I'm usually really giddy,
because I refuse to discredit even the least likely possibilities. That weird feeling in the chest is perpetual to me, and it makes it hard to relax. My legs are tense, and my arms are urging my head to let them move, but when they move they aren’t satisfied. I have this problem where I know what I want, but I don’t know how to get it in the way that I want to get it (for there are...

Annie’s part in Community’s Glee episode was just cringe-worthy.
