This week...and last

I'm not sure if this is good or bad or both or nobody could care less, but hey, what the heck.

Recently I've been having crazy dreams, like slasher ghost creeper adventure type dreams, and yea, it's weird, it's disturbing to know that, but I don't mind. I mean I've had these "horror movie" dreams before, but never like 3 a week or anything. I love these dreams cuz, you know, I get to live and do stuff as opposed to dreams where I just mull over info or it's an alternate reality of what will or has happened. it's like if you wanted to live in a movie, would you want to be in an adventure/action/horror-ish movie, or would you want to be in those drama/mid-life-crisis/curiously-weird-situation-ish movies? Well, I for one, would love to test myself to see what I would do in those horror film situations, whereas drama stuff, you have time to think it over and you can always "live" it by hearing stories and giving advice...sort of. Disturbing that I'm having frequent horror dreams?
(some call it a nightmare, but I don't because it's thrilling and i welcome them with open arms.) Yea. Makes you wonder what I might do.

Going along with that, I also did do one semester of researching suicide for English 101, and I'm currently researching suicide for a policy speech in winter term, and I'm intrigued by how easy it is to hurt people, but I don't because I'm more worried about how my social life will go down afterwards... Yep, totally still in that teenagery stage and falling into that "self-centered" stereotype, but you can't deny that isn't true for most of you, right?

And on an off note, I found out my comm teacher used to smoke and we're talking about legalizing marijuana and there's more cursing in this course than in the other 5 I've been in, but then again, this is a TA rather than a professor, but yet again, 3 of my other courses were taught by grad students....whatever.

Half way through Harry potter and LOVING IT! Haven't seen this movie (the 5th one) but I REALLLLY hope it doesn't cut out good scenes. Ugh, I really want to reread the whole series, mark down each event each fact and each creature I want the remake of this series to include so there can be a film of Harry Potter that's EVERY BIT as appealing and magical and amazingly out-of-this-world as the book, but I guess If they make the movie suck, then JK Rowling can have a better book sale or more audiences/fans, right? I've been going OCD about this and obsessing about logging everything from not just this book, but from Across the universe by Beth Revis and So you want to be a Wizard series, so when those become movies the first version will be perfect, but hey, I'm not in film, directing, or know anyone serious about such a big project.

I just wish that when people make a movie out of a book, they are actually fans of the book, they READ the book and they met with the author to get a general idea of what people look like, what should be included, and is a visual book basically. I mean, what other purpose is there to make a movie based on a book? If you're going to make your own idea and that's inspired by a book, say "inspired by" and not "based on"

And another thing, I've been giving blood frequently EXPRESSLY for the rewards program...now that it's going BYE BYE, what have I got to donate for? I need to eat special to get my iron up, I need to eat heathy and drink water and watch my diet basically before and after I donate, and I found out The O+ blood type is common, so how much am I REALLLY helping? I mean, yea, I do feel good about donating, I do like that it forces me to be healthy, but no one I know donates regularly and my parents are harping on it and I have to go out of my way, and if it were high school and not college, yes, it'd be perfectly fine but now....it's not really worth it. I'd donated 4...3...ish times, I think I've done my part, right?

So here's an update...yea, not much happening. Just realized how RUSHED winter term is... I underestimated the workload, but if it exists, it should be possible. Plus this TAs been teaching for a few years, so it can't be THAT bad and impossible, right?
