Ma tête et mon coeur.

Rules:

+ If you know me from a community or know me personally just tell me who you are and I'll add you back.

+ If you are someone who just stumbled upon my journal by looking at interests and wishes to be friends with me I'll more than likely add you back.

+ If you found this journal by my fanfiction.net information page, let me know who you are and I'll add you back.

+ If we have nothing in common and I have no idea who you are, try someone else, because more than likely I don't want you to read my journal anyway.

For real this is what happened today. I got up super early to drive around for behind the wheel. Then I came home and ate lunch... AT 10:30!!!! I felt so stupid, my mom was like "umm, what are you doing?" and I was like, "Ummm, eating lunch?" oh goodness....

Then I played Vectorman 2 and almost beat it and died at the very end. Read some from The Vampire Lestat its really weird because he read Interview With The Vampire and... it's just a little weird, but I'm going to go with it and see where it takes me... I trust her.

I just helped make a journal layout! I'm glad I could finally get it right because it was being evil.

Now I'm going to sit around... I UPDATED MY FANFIC FINALLY!! Oh goodness, it feels really good to get it all done with, the final chapter is installed now, and is awaiting reviews. I'm thinking of posting about it in the drac group too see what they think.

I rented Jerry Maguire and before ya'll go crazy let me say one thing: TOM CRUISE. Well it's two but y'know.. it's all the same. My brother rented Cold Mountain and I want to see that too but I think I can borrow it from a friend ::smiles:: right friends?? Heh heh.

Well, I think it's time for me to see what else is going on with my friends on here. Yes, I read everyone of my friend's posts, I don't comment as much as I'd like to, but I read them everyday.

Oh shoot I forgot!! I recorded Dracula with Frank Langella successfully!! I now don't have to worry about buying it at an insane price, because I got it for free! Well, there are some commercials in it but AMC was pretty good and showed a lot of the movie then commercials, so not many at all compared to the usual amount now. And plus, they didn't cut out a single scene! I have the entire thing complete! YAY!

A scary thunder storm came today. It didn't last very long but it cut off the power 3 times.

I didn't get to work on my story today because I was out for a long time, I got The Vampire Lestat though. It's considered my "beach" book so I'm taking that with me to read there at Myrtle Beach. I might start it now though, depending on how long it is, I believe it's about 550 pages.

I can't seem to find a Tom Cruise movie to rent, I'm either going for Legend or Jerry Maguire though that's R too so my mom might be mean again and say no, though she has seen it before. Let's hope I get to see one.

Going to go set my recorder to tape Dracula tonight. Also I just remembered I have to wake up super early to go to behind the wheel.... not good!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILLEM DAFOE!!!!

Today these things happened:

1)Finished Interview With The Vampire it was very very good.
2)Watched Great Chefs of the World
3)Got a really bad stomach ache/cramps which all equal evil
4)Got stung by a yellow jacket
5)Finished layout

But geez, that yellow jacket, it was about 2 hours ago and my leg still feels like it was just stung me, I've never been stung before by a bee or anything similar. I just want to go up to my room and curl up into a little ball and cry...it hurts!! Now I have a huge pink spot on my left leg.

I didn't get to work on my fanfic obviously, but I will hope to tomorrow.

Someone please explain why I can't see Interview With The Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles?!?!? I read the book, yes, but I want to see the movie now and my mom says no... Why? Because "it's rated R".... so I can see some R rated stuff but not all.. that makes a lot of sense. GRRRR! That makes me mad, but I told her if I can't see it by renting, I'm just going to buy it. I know it's going to be on tv this Saturday, but they clip out stuff and commercials, etc. I'm just going to get it cheap at Best Buy after the beach or something. I also have to get Hellboy and Hidalgo all in the same day probably, I hope I'll have enough!! Saving money stinks, but worth it in the end.

Feel free to look at my layout now, I'd like to hear how you like it, it's basically the same with the entries, but with a new picture and title, etc. I may make a new icon to fit more into the subject (Tom Cruise who is my new obsession)-though I still love Dracula/Frank Langella! I'm going to record the thingy still this friday night, don't forget if you want to see it too! On AMC at 1:15 am (O__O).

This is so sad, but it took me about an hour to make this new layout picture thingy, don't look yet if you're reading this from the friend's page because it's not done, I still need to add the comment bar thingies and such. I will finish it tomorrow and you can all look if you want.

It's also sad that I'm starting to like this guy... ^__^"

Umm, today for the moment all I have to ask is that everyone reading this to please do this for me, answer the following questions with the choices, I'm doing this with 2 others here on lj to obtain our Gold Award in Girl Scouts. I'd like it very much if you'd help us.

Today was slow, had behind the wheel, and gs meeting right after it. Read a lot more today too, should be done with it before the weeked so I can see the movie before leaving. Went to DQ and got a blizzard tonight, watched some VH1 show about bad hair days... I want to nap really badly right now, I think I shall in a little bit.

I need to update my fanfic. I can't believe I forgot about it! Final chapter coming up shortly!!

Arrgh, I can't get that stupid Ashlee Simpson song pieces of me or whatever out of my head. It started playing in FYE today and-sorry to those who like her- she is terrible. That's just my opinion and I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings if they like her, that's fine. But to me she is just moaning words that she thinks is "singing"... I walked around there and Walden's mostly tonight with my brother just looking around, and found some interesting books I might want to read.

I ate at Captain D's (which for those who don't know, its basically a seafood restaurant...) and had some shrimps and cheese sticks! Yummy, though the shrimp made me feel weird when I was chewing it because I kept thinking "this was alive" and it was bothering me a whole lot... don't know why though because eating meat doesn't do that to me.

Behind the wheel was fun actually, I can't do backing into angular parking spots at all though, it's freakin' hard!! I can do driving straight into it and back out though. Tomorrow we're going to do some more parking and curvy roads, should be interesting... those cars are hard to push down the pedal, the brakes are more reluctant to move too. Parallel parking stinks! I am really glad that is not going to be on the test... I would fail for sure then. >.<"

Outback Jack was shocking, he cut off the woman I wanted him to be with!! And now that stupid Marisa is back, she is evil, she obviously hates everyone and Jack is like "I love her" OMG NO. How could someone love a person like that? It's incredible how insanely stupid and self-obsorbed she is.. AH! I have to stop ranting!! Kick off Marisa!! MAKE HER GO AWAY!!!! ::waves tiny Outback Jack sign::

I got a call today from Mrs. Hubble to start doing behind the wheel tomorrow, the only problem is, my mom can't do it everyday this week because we won't even have a car one day. So I'm going to do it tomorrow and wednesday only for this week, then I'm going to hopefully get a partner for all next week. Then I will be on my way to some sort of independence. I hope I pass though, I'd be crushed if I fail.

I read a ton today from Interview With The Vampire so I have just started Part 2 (deux) and its tres bien! I ate some freeze pops or "flav-or-ice" and cleaned my room, dusting off things with pledge (it smells nice) and moving a few things around to make my room seem a little bigger if that's even possible.

I drove some more to the mall, got a pita with my mom and got to drive into the drive-thru thingy and actually order! I know it sounds weird but I've always wanted to be able to yell at the person what you want... Well, I got a cheeseburger for my dog and 2 apple pies for mom, and a reese's mcflurry for moi. Then drove home and ate said mcflurry and watched a little spongebob squarepants and am now here typing what I did today. Oh well, I did watch Great Chefs of the World of course, that's just a given.

That's all though, pretty nice day overall.

I was driving to Roanoke this morning with my family to see my grandmother and this stupid truck was going seriously slow in a 55 mph zone so I passed him, then right after I passed him (many others did the same) he decided to speed up and try to pass me. So I got really mad and pressed down the pedal really hard and shot off. My mom didn't know what was going on and then after I left him, he came back and passed me anyway... do you know how much I screamed in the car?? My mom almost made me turn into a parking lot so she could drive instead. I was seriously mad, probably the madest I've ever been and all because of a truck. I finally passed him again and left him rolling alone slowly down a highway though, so I got him back, that stupid person.

After we got there we went to some place called Blue Mountain Cafe or something that was by the Grandin theatre. It was pretty good but there was a drunk guy talking about when he was drunk once throwing up and stuff outside a building... >.<"

After we got home I read a some in Interview With The Vampire and the little girl, Claudia,- I believe that was her name- has appeared and I'm falling more in love with the book than I expected. I am hoping to be able to see the movie version before we leave for the beach, anyone seen it and have an opinion: is it good or bad?

This morning was crazy. I'm not going into any details because it was all basically this: running after the kids keeping them together and getting annoyed at Ian. He really had some problems, like pushing other kids and crushing on Juliet when she has a boyfriend, that's not going to work!! I mean, he's 6, but he totally liked her. Then Cooper was crazy again, as was the other kids. I felt protective over the fires there because my brother made them and they were trying to rip them up, so that was not good. Also the signs too because he made them as well. I got a little fish necklace and a key chain for bringing a guest to the church.

I got a nice surprise because Pastor Tim came to see me! Specifically me too, because we were hanging out in the little grassy area in the middle of the church and he came out and touched my back and scared me but he said that he wanted to just say hi because he saw me last night. It was really sweet for him to do that and to pick me out of the crowd of yelling kids. I really like him, I hope he stays at our chuch for a long time. It also made me want to go to church a lot because I haven't recently... I told him my mom wanted to read the Da Vinci Code book because he is obsessed over it and he got excited but I told him she didn't want to buy it because it was in hard back and he went crazy. I shall try and convince her to get it anyway.

I am pooped. I felt nasty when I came home (thanks to Juliet and her nice car/ hot leather seats!) because those kids definately did not ever wash their hands all day.

::sighs:: Time to read some and then go to sleep.

Oh my gosh!! Someone reviewed my last chapter finally!! BIG NEWS!! That's amazing, and unexpected. Other than that, I ate at Sonic today and my mom fed the birds some bread because they basically were on us the entire time. Then I got a new book, woo hoo, it's Anne Rice's Interview With A Vampire and so far it's really good. Lestat is a big meany-head though, and really odd at times. I love the name though!

Other big news, I have a tape now ready to record Dracula with Frank Langella (no Molly, not old...YOUNG!) next Saturday so all is well, got it a Food Lion too for a $1.56 too! Then I got a b-day card for my grandmother, and got a slushie thingy from Burger King and it had Spider-man and Doc Ock on it. I was inspecting the pictures and Ocky look different, his hair is neat looking, and he is wearing something that he didn't wear in the movie. ::shrugs:: Or it could be me, because I forgot all that he was wearing... I thought it was just pants and that big green overcoat. This had a red zip-up shirt under the green overcoat. Though it's not really that important I suppose.

Vacation Bible School was really odd today, helping out as "Camp Counselors" with Juliet to little kids in kindergarten and 1st grade. They were insane, this one boy called Ian would not stop asking the same question. Basically everytime he could he would look at me and say something like "What's science?" and I had to descibe what it was... I tried explaining Chemistry to him and he ran away from me. Cooper looks like Anthony Perkins!! It was so freaky, because he was hiding in a tent and I called him and he looked at him and I laughed, and when he laughed I thought "woah, Psycho flashback!!" he has blondish hair though instead of brown. Hal and his sister would not stop talking about their mom, and some girl hit her head really hard against the back of a pew and starting screaming. Good times, I assure you.

>.<" I need a nap. Here is something interesting though that I saw from Juliet's lj. Changed it to be my sign though!

Molly is over here right now, watching Edward Scissorhands.. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to persuade her to watch Sphinx but maybe later.

Today was really boring, I watched Phantom of the Opera and it was silent, black and white, and I didn't like the ending. It was completely different than the book and it was based on it, so that didn't make any sense, but it still freaked me out in the middle of the day. His face when it is first revealed is the scariest thing I've ever seen...

I think that's all... at least for tonight! Now I shall go back to Johnny Depp goodness.

Ok everyone go here: http://www.greatchefs.com/ because it's the best website, plus I'm going to try and make the crepe cake, which is 7 layers of giant crepe goodness. I will probably blow up my kitchen when I try but I'll still give it a go!

I finished The Phantom of the Opera so I might as well see the creepy Lon Chaney version tonight but I seriously think its going to freak me out.

Heeeyyyy... Molly, I don't know if you will get this before tomorrow, but I called you and I'm going to try and call you tomorrow becaue I have something to ask you; I can just say it now and so I won't bother you a lot tomorrow. All I want to know is if you can get your mom or dad to bring you here instead because my mom has to go to our chuch to put up these sign thingys at 6:30 (she didn't tell me until today...) but my mom can still bring you if your parents can't but it'll just be a little later. Don't post a reply here because I probably won't get it until after you're here, I'll just call you. Also, I have a gift for you! Bwahahahaha!!

Umm, I think that's all? ::shrugs:: I can always update again if something makes me get the urge to. ::Waves:: bye everyone! Heehee.

At the moment, I'm watching Outback Jack, and its probably the only "reality" if you call it that, show that I like... basically because it has to do in the Australian Outback with an Australian guy. Most entertaining...

I read about 100 pages in The Phantom of the Opera today, and have about 2 chapters left in the book. I am hoping to read all of it by tonight because I am wondering greatly what is going to happen next. This is probably the best book I have ever read, seriously.

I'm looking forward to haning out with Molly Thurs. night! And still no call from my hopeful job...

Also I have decided that since I haven't gotten comments on the icon journal, no welcome still, and no comments on fanfic. I'm not going to let it get me into a self-pitying mode, because its stupid and I hate being like that. I absolutely hate feeling sorry for myself, I feel really vulnerable, and plus, its really shallow to feel sorry for yourself when you have a good life. I have nothing to complain about and when I get sad because these people don't comment like I want them to- I'm only going to let it last a little bit because it is sad, but its not going to bring me down... There!! I am in control of my happy little self!!

And now... to find that Bridget Jones trailer... ::starts to search online::

Yet again the day was uneventful mostly. I watched Seabiscuit last night and it was pretty good, but the whole race horse thing isn't for me. It got me really nervous whenever they were racing because I didn't want to see any of them get killed or something like that.

I keep wondering when the storms are going to end here, because it was so nice outside last week and now it's been raining a lot today, last night too around midnight it started raining I believe and it continued until at least 2:00. I like rain and the cool weather but I like to be able to go out places as well. I feel so lonely right now its crazy, I guess I'm feeling some what rejected by no one commenting on my fanfic though I'm sure they will sooner or later because it usually takes a while for fanfiction.net to completely load up. But then there's the phantom_icons I joined yesterday, I posted my 1 icon and no one commented, not even to welcome me to the community, and then there were other posts right after me with new people and they commented on them. It bothers me why they can't even say "Hi"... maybe I'm just over-reacting or maybe I'm just being really selfish at the moment, throwing myself into my vast pit of self-pity that I do sometimes....

::sighs:: Well, to throw myself out of that, I did accomplish one thing: I finished The Strange Case of Dr. Jeykll and Mr. Hyde and Other Stories and it was a lot better than Kafka. My favorite of the "other stories" is probably either The Body Snatcher or The Suicide Club. But after finishing that book, I began straight away on reading The Phantom of the Opera and I'm currently on chapter 9 now. It's really good and I can hardly put it down without wanting immediately to pick it back up again. Right now I'm curious as to see what happens next.

Bwaha! I updated my fanfic again so yay for that, one chapter to go I think until I finished it. Good reviews over all and I thoroughly enjoyed writing it.

Nothing new today so I guess I can just end it there, though I did see Anna Karenina last night and that was really really sad. Sean Bean was wonderful though in it, and Alfred Molina shocking me again and just appearing in it- he's ending up like ones of those guys that just shows up in every movie I see, he was pretty good too I like his character more than Sean's though.

Seabiscuit is sitting by me right now and I'm thinking about whether or not seeing it tonight... what to do?!?!?

Everyone be proud of me, I applied for a job today!! WOO HOO!! I hope I actually get this job though, I really really want and need it.

Today I've felt bored, I don't really know why but whatever I'm doing whether it be reading, playing Sega, or whatever I just seem to get tired of it quicker and stronger. I hope this goes away, I don't like feeling this way.

Eeeeee!!! My mom let me rent another movie again! Anna Karenina is what I got with Sean Bean ::drools:: mmmmm.... Should be very very very very good!! Oh my goodness, this coming Saturday on AMC they are showing Dracula with Frank Langella!! I totally freaked when my brother told me, so I am recording that completely!! I AM SO EXCITED!!

_blackster_!!!!! Oh my goodness I freaked out when I saw you are at Myrtle Beach! I looked for your email some where on your info but couldn't find it so I hope you get to read this! I just wanted to say it's super awesome you're there because my family goes there every year!! I'm actually going the first week of August this year too, and I got really excited to read that on your lj! If its not too much/weird to ask, where did you stay? I'm curious to see how close it is to where we're staying (I think where we're going to be is called Ocean Reef though don't hold me to it because I'm not sure of the first word actually, something Reef!!) I wish I could live there actually, it's so beautiful, espically if you walk on the beach at night when all the people are gone and just look at the stars (espically when there is a full moon)! So peaceful! But I hope you don't think I'm extremely weird for saying that! Well, I hope you have a great time there and get to see this because otherwise I'm going to feel really bad for not being able to find an email or something to actually tell you this properly instead of shouting it out to everyone who can read my lj!

I made one icon today from Phantom of the Opera if anyone is interested. I'm not sure if they are going to call The Phantom, Erik, or not but that's what they call him in the book and 1929 version that my dad has that I've never seen because it looks extremely frightening. He's trying to make me though before I see the new one because he thinks I should to get a good feel for it or something like that. Anyway here it is;

Phantom of the Opera

Sooooooooo, I went around driving today with my brother and mom to the mall. I had a pita once again from Hickory Farm because I love them so much. I then proceeded to look at CDs and contemplated getting the Little Women tape because it was five dollars, and it came with some special stuff but I decided against it.

I then proceeded to Walden's where I spent a long time looking for the author Gaston Leroux (who shares my birthday!!) in the fiction section and being this dumb person that I am, didn't look in the literature section which is basically for classics/good stuff. My brother actually found it and I found the King Arthur book based on the movie. So he got that, and I got Phantom of the Opera which I am looking forward to reading very much.

After that we went to the library and I checked out a book on Vienna Opera and the woman checked out my information on the card and didn't believe I was who I was. That was stupid because she asked me for my address, phone, age, birth date, all this stuff they had already because she didn't trust me.

I really want to see Phantom of the Opera now! I'd love to see the broadway production of it, but I'm looking forward to the movie more now.

"Illusionist Roy Horn has come face to face with the white tiger who almost ended his life last year - for the first time. The German magician was mauled by tiger Montecore onstage during a live show in Las Vegas and has spent the past nine months fighting for life. The tearful 59-year-old patted and chatted to the big cat as part of a TV documentary on his recovery, which will be aired on the first anniversary of the tiger attack, which left Horn clinically dead for a minute. The reunion took place at Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden, housed at the Mirage hotel and casino in Las Vegas, where Montecore has been housed since the mauling. Meanwhile, Horn has amazed medics, who feared he wouldn't be able to survive his terrifying injuries - he has regained the ability to speak and write."

I'm so happy for Roy!! Weeeeee!!!!

Other bad news, David Bowie had heart surgery last month because he had an acutely blocked artery in his heart. He now has some mesh wire in there to keep it open and is doing fine thankfully.. best wishes to David Bowie!!
