Azula

The finale of Avatar had major Azula character development (i.e. faults). Azula was always sort of the perfect villain, she was in the same league as Voldemort and the Volturi: seemingly unbeatable. But the final episode showed her stupidity and it really made me feel bad for her. Not quite as much as, say, Ari or Zuko since she didn't have that "I just wanted to be loved" thing going for her, but still. She grew up in such a dysfunctional family, what with her mother gone and her father evil incarnate. It's just sad that she, rightly, had no faith in those around her. Obviously this was because she had no reason to trust them, she developed absolutely no personal relationships whatsoever. It was the same with the The Beach, she was incredibly unpopular at the local party merely because she had no experience trying to be liked. She was constantly blocking out every sign of the necessity of love so that she would be able to gain the power she so desired. She found that being feared was much easier than being loved, which is really, really sad since that never works out well.

Also, I read Death Be Not Proud, and Johnny Gunther, to me, is exactly who Edward would have been as a human (if he had an incurable brain tumor (and no I didn't just ruin the story if you haven't read it, you know that from the beginning)) which is cool... exept for the dying part *tear*.

Stupid Dad...

I just want my dad to leave. Seriously. I want him to move out. I used to think of Brie's arrangement like "Poor Brie, she must be so upset that her dad moved out, I love having mine around!", now I'm JEALOUS! Her dad is nice, he takes her to football games, reads books she likes, isn't OBSESSED with her and her sisters doing well in school. I am so goddamn fucking jealous. Not that I hate my dad or anything, I just wish I could have her arrangement, see him every other weekend, something like that. Right now every time I see him it irritates me, just seeing him. If we're watching a movie I just pray that he doesn't join us. When we go places, same deal. I'm terrified that he's going to ruin our trip to Germany. I LOVE Germany, and I only get to go every other year! Now he's going to be like "Oh, let's go talk to the locals, let's do this and that... But wait! You guys made plans? I FUCKING HATE PLANS! Fine! Let's do what you want, I'll just get no input whatsoever and sit over here in this corner and DIE!" NOT THAT HE GIVES ANY INPUT VOLUNTARILY! We have to beat it out of him! He's always condescending or patronizing in some way, it's indefatigable! He perpetually complains about how we're watching too much tv, playing too much computer, WHAT THE FUCK ELSE ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO? Stephen isn't studying enough? WHAT THE HELL IS HE SUPPOSED TO BE STUDYING? And he doesn't even try to set limits, it's not like "I want you guys to limit your tv to 2 and a half hours per day" it's "I'M GONNA TAKE AWAY THE DAMN TV, THEN WHAT'LL YOU DO?". He's just a bastard. A bastard that I wish would move out. Unfortunately my mom's income alone wouldn't be enough to sustain us in this house, so... that's not going to happen. Damn. Sorry Brie, I know this post is a hypocritical mess... but still.

First Kiss?

I just had my first kiss playing spin the bottle at a birthday party. It was with a kid named Elijah who I've known (and been very platonic friends with) since fourth grade. It was surprisingly comfortable. I guess I'm just a born romancer >.< jk. It was interesting though, I got to see lots of straight guys kiss each other, that was pretty hilarious. Sooo... peace out y'all :D

Brie, I know this will sound kind of harsh but bear with me it's good. You need to stop being so unnecessarily cynical in your blog. You're really not a huge cynic, trust me, I know you. But I'm the same way, everyone is, stuff sucks more when you're alone, but you need to calm yourself. Of course your mom wants you to be the best you can be, she's your mother! She's trying to help you because she loves you! Writers' block is natural and you'll overcome it. And high school romance? Brie, stop lying to yourself; the moment a nice, smart, sarcastic guy who annoys the hell out of you and makes your insides melt comes along you'll forget you ever scorned "high school romance". Again, trust me, I know you. The message of this entry is: STOP BITCHING. I don't mean stop whining, whining is a necessary part of the human lifecycle, I just mean stop bitching, stop making things worse for yourself. Your life does not suck, nor does mine. We both have people who love us, we're smart, we're not starving prostitutes, and we've got each other (and we're better than Corinne *cough*). Brie, I love you no matter what comes... in the platonic sense of the word... you know what I mean >.< Seriously.

Peace out ^.^

P.S. wall-e was so cute, I saw it with Shira and a bunch of people I don't know.
