GUESS WHO WENT TO GO SEE MARCH OF THE PENGUINS TODAY??????

Well, if you guessed me, you'd be right. *makes a "shing" noise* Wow, it was so amazing. Like, wow. There were so many people there too! The theater was packed!!! That alone made me happy. Then, the movie started. True, 'tis a documentary, but what a documentary it was!!! I laughed at some parts, (they caught those penguins doing some funny stuff) and I cryed when they showed dead penguins. It moved me. It made me rather mad that the entire film was only about the emporer penguins, but *shrugs* what can you do? It was amazing what they go through during the winter (our summer) It takes only a second of the cold to kill an egg or a newborn. What I thought was amazing were the people who went through this too. I mean, they had to, to film it. At least the penguins are built for the cold, but us humans aren't. You know that last part of the preview, when it's all touching and the penguin saunters next to it's mother/father? (I can't remember who had the babies then) Well, it's on the right on the screen in the theaters, and goes buy so fast you have to take a couple of seconds to realize what it was. It was sort of disapointing, cause I hope it would be more of a touching moment. But, believe me, there are WAY cute moments. It starts off saying the story is about love, which, through out the movie you half agree with. But by the end, you know it's true. (I loved it, if you haven't noticed) The only thing hampering was my dad sitting next to me, teasing me about Penguin Burgers. *rolls eyes*

Eek! School starts in 4 days!!!! I mean, I want to go to school to meet people, cause right now I feel like I'm in this state of non-exsistance or something. But, I'm scared. I would so much rather go up to someone new and make them feel at home than sit around and wait for someone to do that to me, because, I know alot of people don't/can't. I feel so weak without friends here, you know? Like, I've spent the last 3 years building this great "friendship suit" or something that shelters me and makes me feel comfortable and completely at home, and in an instant, I no longer have this protection from the unknown. No one to go through all of these things with me. And without them, I feel as if I'm just sitting still or even growing back, while everyone else around me is moving onto these bigger and better things while I'm just left in the dust, watching them. Watching them do the things I Would be doing, if I were home. (No, this place is far from home. Home is where the heart is, mine is with Lynn and Amy and the jazz choir and Tessa and the youth group.)

I just read this book that so reminded me of Woodbury, I almost cried. The girl is in this select singing group (like the JC) which have become her bestest friends, which her whole life is centered around, and then in her 3rd year of it is kicked out because a new girl comes that is better than she is. (Only I didn't get kicked out, of course) And she goes through this entire book, watching as they move on without her, watching her best friends go on and try to bring her along, but know it's not working. I know the Jazz Choir wouldn't be there even if I was, but, it spoke some truth to me.

OK, I sounding way more lonely than I feel.

Onto other news.... I bought Casper! I've been having craving/obsessions for it/over it since like, January, but then, I never have the movie! I was lucky one time it was on TV and taped it, but during my non-obsession time taped over it with The Man In the Iron Mask (a littler ob) and so therefor lost it again. But Haha! I now own it on DVD and can never tape over it again! I love the music to it, it's so beautiful and mysterious. I listened to it the entire day yesterday (or as much as I could until my sister kicked me off the computer) and wanted to hug it every time it started over. I haven't gotten a chance to watch it, but after church tomorow, mwahahaha!!! Casper shall take over this pig-shaped house!!!! *clap of thunder*

"Can I keep you?" ~Casper (*gasps* I'm sorry I didn't use a BandB quote, but it didn't seem right when ranting about another movie. (What it doesn't know won't hurt it.))

PS. WE'RE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD IN OCTOBER!!!!! I GET TO HUG THE BEAST!!!!!! (more about that later)
