It has been quite a good movie night tonight. It started off with the hilariously stupid Team America: World Police, ended with the cute, touching Two Weeks Notice, but was highlighted by Saved!, a movie about hipocracy in catholic schools, and the true meaning of Christianity.
This movie is to Christian movies what Switchfoot is to Christian bands. It promotes a message without beating you over the head with it. Such a great movie. I plan on seeing if the GSA at Dana can host a movie night at some point this year with this movie.
I can't even describe how good this movie is. It's just so . . . GOOD! Hell, I even cried at it! Out of happiness! And I feel like a dork, because I've said that at least 2 other times in the recent past, but this NEVER happens! And all of a sudden, these wonderful experiences have happened to me lately that are just so touching and emotionally moving. So, no, I am not just a cry baby. It actually takes a LOT for me to cry. Hell, I've tried to commit suicide without even getting blurry eyed.
Then again . . . it's sadness and depression that I don't cry at easily. That usually just gets locked inside, rotting me from the inside out. Happiness and joy, on the other hand, bring tears to my eyes much more easily.
Funny how even though its much easier for me to cry from happiness, I've still cried from depression more. A lot more.
Anyeay, the movie just has a beautiful message that will touch most people.
Team America is just frigging hilarious and pokes fun at just about EVERYTHING. Plus, marionette sex is HOT.
And Two Weeks Notice is an interesting take on Sandra Bullock's usual ditzy-yet-lovable character. That and my mother and Steve swear up and down that I'm JUST like Hugh Grant. He's kinda cute, for a middle-aged guy. I think the only thing that actually makes me resent that comparison is that hooker/blowjob incident a few years ago. Silly Hugh doesn't have to PAY for one!
But yeah, its been quite eventful at Dana since my last entry. My roommate went to the hospital with intestinal bleeding, and thus Seussical was cancelled and postponed to next weekend. Joe may or may not be better now. Communication about the whole thing has been messy. For some reason, our dorm phone is dying or something b/c I swear I've never heard it ring, but people have been trying to call all weekend. But I hope Joe is ok. I think he will be. but apperantly Scott got hurt too, and I haven't heard anything about him, and I'm equally worried. All the news I have about that is from Joy's LJ entry saying he broke his neck, which scares me to death! So I dunno what's been going on at all. I've just retreated into my anti-social shell and immersed myself in FFXI because I don't know how the hell to deal with any of this.
And Seussical being postponed is a HUGE pain in the ass. I understand we can't do it this weekend, but now I have to miss my sister's first high school performance where she actually nabbed a lead. My one-act rehearsal schedule is fucked up royally and I lose one of my 3 weeks to put them together . . . NOT cool. So I'm really freaking out about time for that. Also, I now have another weekend where I'm unable to work, and money is really scaring me right now.
I get my parent's car on Monday. From then on, I need to make payments for this car which will exceed $200 a month. And that does not count gas money. I don't know how I'm going to make enough money to survive working weekends at BK. It's just not possible. And I don't trust my bank anymore, so now I have to carry around cash, and its flying out of my pocket so fast, I hardly know what's happening to it. My credit card is nearly re-maxed out, and to top it all off, I have to come up with money for grad school aplications soon! Its around $50 per application, and then I have to find travel expenses to GO to these places and audition. Its gonna be around $200 each time I fly somewhere, and I'm gonna have to make at least 3 plane trips. That's not even counting room and board and food!
I'm really, really freaking out about it all right now. I don't know what to do. I'm starting to think that maybe I should just forget all about auditioning for grad school, and just stay in Omaha for a year and work (Somewhere OTHER than BK) and save up money and do it all next year. It'll be nice to actually be somewhat financially stabe before I start this whole thing, not to mention I could get a lot of experience doing community theater and NOT being tied down to school productions.
But I can not STAND staying in Omaha! I just can't! I don't want to be in Nebraska. I don't want to be surrounded by closed-minded assholes, and the only potential dates are arrogant fucks who only care about themselves! I need to get out and be on my own and be away from all this shit! I rely too much on other people, and as long as they're there to rely on, I'm never going to actually GROW up! I feel so immature, I can't stand it!
