Last night I watched the movie Abandon (2002) starring Katie Holmes and Benjamin Bratt. It was the 2nd time I saw it. The first time was in the movie theatre when it came out, and then last night.
I forgot how much I liked the movie. What drew me to it in the first place was Katie Holmes. I've always liked her, as I was an avid fan of Dawson's Creek.
I don't know if it was obvious and I am just a little bit slow, but I didn't know what was going on until the last 10 minutes! I remember the first time I saw it being like, "Oh my gosh!!!!" and filled with surprise.
But, another reason I loved watching it last night was because of Charlie Hunnam who plays Embry Larkin. He's Katie's boyfriend that "disappeared" 2 years ago. They have him shown in flashbacks, etc. and wow, was I in love. Plus, with a name like Embry Larkin, who wouldn't?
Mmmmm, Embry Larkin. It's like a fairytale name, or something. PLUS, he was born in England, and I am English descent! Anyways, I found some pictures of him, and surprisingly in a lot of them, he wasn't very hot...at all. BUT, I did see some good ones, and I will just stick to looking at them so he's always very good looking and charming in my fantasy. I shall think of him only as Embry Larkin.

Marissa Cooper
So, I know that "The O.C." is just a drama and all, but I am really sad about Marissa's death.
I also know that there was mucho talk going on about her wanting to leave the show for a couple reasons. One, that she didn't want to be typecast playing roles of a spoiled brat, and another being that she has a movie, "Guilty Pleasures" coming out next year.
The season finale broke my heart! Just thinking of Ryan holding her in his arms and showing the flashbacks of the two of them makes me so sad! Good thing no one saw my face while watching it, my mouth was gaped open for probably 5 minutes in between me yelling, "Noooo!"
But, what am I going to do? I feel like a lost puppy. The reason I love the show so much is because of her and Ryan!
I am looking forward to the first episode of the 4th season to see everyone's reaction, but after that, who can say?
After watching the finale, I did what any normal 20-something obsessed- with-the-show person would do... I went to the bar.

Tanning + Heroin
Last night I was watching the news when I hear, "Stay tuned to see how teens are becoming addicted to tanning like it's heroin." Okay, so maybe that wasn't the exact quote, BUT there was definitely some correlation being made between tanning beds and being high on heroin.
Apparently, tanning is as addictive as heroin. Teenagers (girls especially) feel the need to tan atleast 5 times a week, or else they get anxious. They get a "high" after tanning, and the same way that anorexics never feel skinny enough, compulsive tanners never feel tan enough, hence their new name, tanorexics.
"Tanorexia is a real addiction, to be taken seriously," I've heard. But, last night while watching the news, I couldn't help but laugh. I also couldn't help but think that people are now just making things up because we've run out of relevant news.
*Note: I did infact open my dishwasher today to find one of those ugly centipede-y things running rapidly into hiding. I shrieked a little upon seeing it, though I'm sure it wasn't a disease infested monster capable of mutating itself into a big blob...errr...something like that.*
Ohhhh yeah, so about the correlation with the heroin. Who thinks of that? So now, kids can expect to see this on their SAT test:
Riiiiiiight.
And what timing, because yesterday I found out about an old friend who has succumbed to the devils of heroin. He'd been shooting up for 2 months and noooooo one knew. Now he's in rehab.
Maybe I should suggest to him getting the special $29.99 tanning package?

"Let's talk about something different tonight on
our 6:00 segment," they probably say.
"Hmmm, okay, how about diseased thousand
legger insects hiding in your dishwasher? That oughtta freak 'em out."

Pick the set of words that correspond with
eachother best:
(eg. bark:tree)
a) dog:cat
b) lions:tigers:bears (oh my!)
c) couch:tv
d) TANNING:HEROIN
Riiiiiiight.

The latest
Well, I don't really know where to begin. I've been in the weirdest mood the past 2 weeks. I'm slowly becoming back to normal, but - not just yet. I went to Morgantown 2 weekends ago, of course I had a blast. Friday night I was already drunk by the time we got to the bar, and once there, I saw a bunch of my friends from here at home. Fun times. Later, apparently I was laying on the kitchen floor back at Joni's with my legs in the air just yelling out, "YEEEEEAAAAAAAHHH!" Don't remember too much.
Saturday, Joni and I went over her friend Jenni's house to play some beer pong before hittin the bars again. Good thing I kept my mouth shut, because I was about to introduce myself to Jenni's boyfriend when they both said, "Man, you were so funny last night." "What? Okaaaaaay, apparently I've met you before" is what I thought to myself. Damn.
So then, we stopped to see a friend's band play for a bit, then I had to meet up with some friends at a certain bar. Joni doesn't like it there, so her and her posse went elsewhere while I waited in line by myself. Two girls behind me were like, "Oh my god, you're going in by yourself?" I was like, "Uhhh, yeah.....but I'm meeting people inside." They looked at me amazed, "Yeah, but still..." I sort of laughed and turned around. Wow. The day I'm too scared to walk into a bar by myself to meet up with friends will be a very, very odd day. Wierd.
So, anyhow, I met up with my friends and we had a grand old time. I was really excited to see my friend, "Witty." We'd been real good friends while I went to school there, we met through my other guy friends from here at home. We sort of liked eachother but after I left, there was nothing we could do. And I do miss him. He makes me laugh, a lot, and I like his humor, it's like mine. He just broke up with his psycho girlfriend that slept with his friend. In fact, Friday night she found him and was starting a scene at the bar in front of everyone. I was so drunk, I just remember looking at our friends and being like, "Whoa man," and then just thinking, "Eww, I can't be around this buzzkill." Nonetheless, it was great hanging out with him over the weekend. It made me a little bit sad, but that's how I am, and it sucks.
I didn't see "Neon" (if you've read earlier posts) at all over the weekend, which kind of sucks, but I really wasn't very upset about it.
I was upset that we didn't hang out much with our friend Brady, though. He was sick all weekend. He lives in the apartment below Joni and he is a lot of fun. Poor Joni, she had a crush on him up until a few days ago. He graduated last weekend and got a job in Colorado, so off he went. And that makes me a little bit sad, because I will most likely never see him again, whereas even though Joni's graduating and we won't be down there gettin crazy so much anymore, I'm sure I'll still see some of my other awesome friends, sometimes, someway.
Hmmm, I also have a very funny story to tell, but not now because it's lunch time and I'm hungry!
