So yepppp. kinda long post. all janice and denise’s fault. so byeee guys~~!

okokok

who to choose? hmm, i think it is a tie between dr. seuss and roald dahl

cos like, when i was a kid and hated reading, these two guys made me love it <3

and for that, i love them

:’( what i’d do to chat with those guys…

but alas, they are both dead

they both had a way of bringing crazy ideas and new strange words into their books and making kids feel better about words. cos seriously, if there are words like snozzlecumber (BFG) and if there are so many words that rhyme in the world, why wouldn’t i want to learn to read?

yepp. i <3 them

also, they both seemed to be talking to the reader in their stories. it is like a fun informative read.

have i mentioned that i <3 them?

i think i also like david adler, who wrote the cam jansen stories…but i’m not sure. i don’t really remember the stories…… i just know i really liked them

who’s style do i dislike? hmm, maybe j.r.r. tolkien. his plots are awesome and stuff but sometimes, it’s just so booooring…..

oh wait

hahaha

you’re here

OK.

So for Spring Break, I’m not going anywhere But my cousins from England are visiting! But they are like all x<8 years of age, soooo….It’ll be awesome!

Little kids rock. Yepp.

Kay, bye~~

haha, music man still stuck in my head o_o

okay. well i think the word “family” doesn’t just encompass blood relations.

and i don’t know why i’m not capitalizing things. it’s annoying me. There. That’s better. OK.

Well, like I was saying, foster kids who have found new parents that really care for them would consider thir foster parents to be family. Children who have abusive parents probably do not view their “parents” as part of their family. So there are a lot of different ways you can have a family.

Anyways. So yes. I was reading this sad story where parents were abusive to the kid… Made me sad abd want to rant D: Some people just have really bad lives and families. It makes me thankful for what I have (:

A tradition my family has…HAHAHAHA, okay. You wouldn’t get the inside joke I was about to say so I won’t even say it. But a tradition is that whenever a “family guest” comes over (which in Indian culture includes extended blood-relatives, like my second-cousin’s uncle’s grand-nephew, or a close friend of the family), we go to Stone Mountain for the laser show Yepp. Happens ALL OF THE TIME. I basically memorized the order of all the shows My family doesn’t go often now though….With the economy being so crappy, not many people come visit anymore. And now I’m in grown-up school (not college, the other one…and no, not university either) and actually have to work instead of goof-off so life is boring-er D: Sheesh, life is so demanding.

Hello Denise Hahahahahahahahahahaaa I know you’re there!!

(creeper… >_>)

JK!

I liked doing the projects except for the fact that they took SUCH A LONG TIME!!! There were so many unforeseen complications and I had to do other ork besides this and I went crazy there for a little while.

But iit was fun (:

I like group work because you can split it up. I dislike it because usually you have conflicting schedules that you have to work around, which is difficult. I like working in small groups for major assignments, but I do not mind working alone on large projects either.

So yes. Bye~~~

P.S. just wondering this weekedn. what is the purpose of the ~ button?????????????

Okay. So my favorite movie…

To tell you the truth, I didn’t really like that many movies this year. I thought Up was pretty awesome. I saw an Indian movie called 3 Idiots which I ranted about on and earlier blog post. That was a pretty awesome movie 17 Again was alright, but it was really weird… o_O

The Proposal was alright too–Sandra Bullock is hilarious :3 But I thought the end was cliche =_=

Yepp, that’s all of the movies I really liked from the past year

So yes.

Yep, forbidden romance is always a present in contemp literature, movies, and society. You can’t hide from Shakespeare. His plays always sneak up on you.

And if Romeo and Juliet didn’t relate to modern times, then all of these movies we have that have themes from R&J, wouldn’t be present. There are so many, I’m sure you can think of a few. For instance, the movie “Romeo and Juliet” with Leonardo DiCaprio.  High School Musical is even R&J-like, except instead of families hating each other, cliques hate each other.

Then again, we don’t have people marrying at age 13, but we do have little children having boyfriends and girlfriends at age 5. <_<;; (Is it just me, or is that way too young of an age?) The context is not that much different.

Of course we don’t have people killing each other left and right on the streets. But we do have opposing “cliques” or groups of friends that fight~sometimes physically or sometimes verbally. And there are always stories of people stalking others…err, I mean peaking through their windows? climbing up trellises? sneaking to their’s significant other’s room? And there are always stories of people mirroring the R&J balcony scene. And sometimes parents don’t let thier children marry people based on race and skin color or other ridiculous reasons.

So yes, R&J does relate to people nowadays. But people think that since it was soooo 42 decades ago and it is written in Elizabethan English, it can’t relate to us. But it does. Just face the facts, people
