come feed the rain

So, today was basically an awesome day.

I saw The Dark Knight with shortperson5555, which was pretty amazing. Heath Ledger totally stole the show from anyone and everyone. The rest of the movie was okay... Two-Face was horribly creepy. Ugh.

Then we went to Panera (chicken salad sandwich, woot!) and Newbury Comics, where I got a Gossip Girl and Ocean's 13 poster... both of which I am very happy about. I also got some cheap CDs and a DVD of Perfect Body, a movie about an anorexic gymnast. All for the very reasonable price of not much more than $30!

Afterwards we went to Barnes & Noble, where I proceeded to buy the new editions of Sweet Valley High (stfu =P) and a swanky notebook. But that's not all...

I GOT 5'S ON ALL OF MY AP TESTS! INCLUDING EUROPEAN!

(A 5 is the highest score you can get... and I thought I did horribly on European History! I don't know what they were thinking when they gave me that score, but I'm not complained! =D sjkldfjsklgjklsdjgkldfjgkld so excited right now, you have no idea.)

So, to celebrate, I ate four peanut butter cookies (yum!) and am now rearranging my room! =DDDDDDD

Today I went shopping with my family at an outlet mall. =) Twas lots of fun. I actually bought something from Aeropostale--I'm turning to the dark side!

Plus, I also got some sexy boots.

( Pictures beneath the cut! Easy on dial-up. )

And on Monday, my dad and I are planning on going to Barnes & Noble, where I have a gift certificate. I'm thinking of getting Fight Club and The Boleyn Inheritance, but does anyone have any recommendations?

So, today I continued on my mission to single-handedly save the music industry, which led me to the purchase of:

Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill [Acoustic]
Delerium - Chimera
Bethany Dillon - Bethany Dillon

All of these albums are absolutely amazing, and I would highly recommend them to everyone.

Unfortunately, I saw about fifty other CDs I wanted in the music section, so that was not cool. -_-

Also unfortunately, I lost my wallet, which had about thirty dollars in it as well as a gift card to Border's. So not cool. I have no idea what happened to it after our trip to Hawaii, and I'm only 99% positive that I remember packing it. So not good.

Sometime this week I had a rather interesting conversation with my dad and my brother.

Dad: So, have you guys ever heard of Anye West?
Me and my brother: ...You mean, Kanye West?
Dad: Yeah, her too.
Me and my brother: *facepalm*
Me: Dad, Kanye West is a guy.
Dad: ...Oh.

*lols* Ah, Dad. Blind, deaf, and forgetful... *shakes head*

Ooh, one other thing:

New layout!
It's my first time customizing Bloggish; I think it came out relatively well. I still have to edit my userinfo and do a whole lot of other crap, but it's all good. :P

That's about it... lol.

Amazon.Com is my new best friend.

Seriously.

Let me ask you this: How much do you think that four DVDs and one CD would cost, normally (i.e. in stores)? $50? $60? $70? Even $80?

*shakes head*

I just ordered The Chronicles of Narnia score (which I've only seen in stores for $19.99, and therefore refrained from buying) and the four-disc extended edition of Kingdom of Heaven for a grand total of $37.29!

*dances in circles*

Plus, since the order is more than $20, it comes with free shipping and handling.

OMG SO EXCITED.

Teh Pretties




*g* I love it when I make bargains.

In other news, I just finished reading a Jodi Picoult book called The Pact. It's about a boy and a girl, Chris and Emily, who are best friends/lovers. The families of the two are really close, as well. One night, Emily gets shot, and as it turns out she made a suicide pact with Chris. Chris gets put on trial for first-degree murder, because he was one of the people holding the gun.

I would totally and completely recommend this book to anyone, though not because of the way it was written. The author seemed to fail with the adults, because all of their reactions seemed to be overdramatic, and I could never keep track of which ones were married to whom. However, the flashbacks to when Chris and Emily were younger were amazing, and the story itself was so compelling that I literally stayed up until one in the morning today because I couldn't put it down.

Just as a warning: There are some sex scenes, a few of which seem rather gratuitous. The book also delves into sexual abuse, which I could have seen coming a mile off, but was still affected by nonetheless.

Overall, a very good read, except for the fact that the author seemed to be trying too hard in some places, and never really did a good job with the adults.

And that would be my "I just saved money!"/"I just read a good book!" speech of the day.
