The only prom I've been to is the one I was conceived at.

Hey everybody! So I don't know what set it off, but last night, while I was lying in bed, I was suddenly overwhelmed by depression. As in, if I wasn't already in bed, I probably would've had another episode. And the thing is that it didn't go away over night. That's right! I'm back in epic depression!

(I think I have a strange way of making blog posts that no one can respond to....)
Anyway, tomorrow's graduation. Or today, depending on your time zone. But to be honest, I'm kind of indifferent - it's just a ceremony and doesn't really mean anything. I mean, we apparently get the diplomas AFTER the ceremony - doesn't that destroy the entire point?

Oh, why thank you. That's awfully considerate.

I have officially graduated.
....
It's really nothing it's cracked up to be. You just sit in the hot sun for two hours in a broiling hot gown with a half-pint of warm water listening to about twenty boring generic speeches and you don't even get your diploma til AFTER the ceremony. I feel everyone who went regretted it, lol.

Is it just me, or does life actually suck this much?

Well, whenever I get around to writing my autobiography/memoirs/whatever you want to call it, today will serve as the end of the first volume. Maybe I'm just becoming senile before the age of 18, but I've reached a nice storybook ending. Nothing special, really, just contemplative.... reflective.... remembering.... And yeah, there are still plenty of loose-ends, but life never claimed to be thorough - things mix together and become one. I think I'm finally ready for whatever lies ahead. In time, I'll probably even get over the girl I like (take a guess at who). But life moves on, and the present becomes the past, the future becomes the present, and the past becomes a distant memory, and whether it was good, bad, or something in-between hardly even matters. I may not have lived a perfect life, but it is my life, something I can call my own, and that is all I need. This will always be my home.

UPDATE!!!! Vacationing in Florida right now, coming home on Saturday. Why? Because I'm visiting my aunt, uncle, and two cousins who are apparently 7 and 9 (I STILL can't grasp that - I feel they should still be 5....). Having a good time so far - haven't seen these kids in 5 years!

Just watched the Coen brothers' A Serious Man. One of the weirdest films I ever saw.... When it ended, I was kind of like "What just happened?" Then I jumped online to try and find some answers to what it was about. Really creepy and bizarre movie. I'm still confused.

Just back from The Last Airbender.
Well.... It wasn't horrible. A lot of things ticked me off, and it was (as predicted) rushed for the most part. Many of the characters were left undeveloped, there was NO indication of Aang's feelings for Katara, and names were mispronounced. But, well.... the ending was good. The whole Seige of the North storyline essentially saved the movie.
Now for my long list of Diehard Fan Nitpicks (some spoilers - skip to the last paragraph if you must): -Aang is now Ong, Iroh is Eroh, and Sokka is Soka - WHY??? -Again, the whole "no Aang/Katara" really annoyed me - in the series, that was made clear from the first minute of the first episode. -Not enough time in the Southern Water Tribe. It leaves you wondering why these people are going out at all. -It took a while for them to decide to go to the Northern Water Tribe. -Aang found no trouble in relaying the story of how he fled home. -They messed up his reasons for running away - the avatar apparently cannot have a family. Three problems with this: 1. Messes up Aang/Katara even further. (Duh!) 2. I guess Zuko was never born. 3. Wait, Air Nomads don't live in nuclear families anyway.... -Zhao was a HUGE wimp. And no sideburns. -Ozai's face was seen. -Zuko's scar is barely noticeable. -Zhao "killed" Zuko via a gas leak, but how did he time it so perfectly? -No giant awesome Ocean Spirit monster! I guess they just figured it made it look like Aang was killing, but that thing was SO cool in the series! -Haru makes it, but Bumi, Suki, Jet, and the cabbage merchant are cut? -I don't think they mentioned Katara's name until the end.... -Okay, I THINK the dragon was supposed to be Roku's, but it was never really explained and kind of just random.... -Commander Zhao never became Admiral Zhao. If you gotta cut the promotion, at least make him an Admiral from the beginning.... -It was Ozai's idea to kill the moon, thus further wimpifying Zhao. -Zuko only met up with Aang three times: the first encounter, which lasted about a minute; the Blue Spirit, which didn't make much sense 'cause one would think that Aang wouldn't have recognized him; and the Seige of the North. -Sokka wasn't funny enough. -Katara had more narrating lines than character lines. -Sozin's Comet wasn't mentioned until the end, and the Aang Gang STILL doesn't know about. Plus, it comes in three years, not by summer's end. -Paku wasn't even named. And it seemed like he was the leader of the tribe as well, which obviously isn't right. -They mentioned Momo's name once. Not sure if they mentioned Appa's name, and he wasn't really introduced either.
Now let's take a breather and list some good things: -I DID like the trap at the Northern Air Temple. -Yue was done well. Course, she's not that big a character to begin with, but, yeah.... -I liked Iroh despite his mispronounced name. -When Yue gave her life, it was REALLY cool. Actually quite touching. -Aang hiding behind Zuko's back after he was captured was funny. -The Hama mention was cool. Also loved the joke where Katara tries to freeze the soldiers and goes backwards. Love those little tributes. -The Blue Spirit's mask looked cool. -Good special effects. -I liked the long, flowing camera shots - I thought it was cool.
Now back to the bad stuff: -The Northern Air Temple was deserted - shouldn't be that way. And then when Zhao captures Aang for The Blue Spirit, they STAYED at the Northern Air Temple! Huh?? -They rushed into the Sokka/Yue stuff, and her fiancee was cut altogether. -Iroh needs a fat suit. -I hated how Iroh told Yue to give her life. It makes him look like a coward. -Iroh told Yue to give her life. That kind of looks bad on him. -When Zuko captured Aang, they stayed in the village, it seemed, rather than getting lost in the wilderness. -Needed more tributes. A foaming mouth guy or a cabbage merchant would've been perfect. In movies like these, the tributes can make or break it. -The Blue Spirit doesn't work since Aang and Zuko barely knew each other! -3D.
I'm sure I forgot some things, but I think that's enough. It really wasn't horrible, but as a fan, I was disappointed, and I think that someone who hasn't seen the series would be lost.

Sounds like its a let down. I'm a pretty big fan of avatar, but if theres that much wrong with it, I don't know if I want to see it.

Well, I wasn't expecting much, so I still enjoyed it. And the special effects ARE cool.
