OMG, Rent was amazing. I loved it. I'm not exactly sure how it ranks compared to Pride and Prejudice because they were such different movies, and evoked such different emotions. It was well done, except for a couple of scenes which really didn't transition well, from normal dialogue, to song, but the story, the singing and the acting were great. I loved how it was all the original cast except for Mimi, and the girl who played her really held her own. I am so excited it came out as a movie. Its a whole lot cheaper than a flipping broadway ticket. Roger was absolutely gorgeous and Tom Collins was great. I can't believe Jesse L. Martin settled to be a tv actor, he's a flipping triple threat and he's on tv. He could really make it big on broadway (i mean i guess he did for a while on rent, but still). He needs to be doing something better, he is so talented.
Ok thats enough venting and being excited. I have more to say on the topic, but i can't keep my eyes open to look at what I'm typing. TTFN

Here are some i-guess-you-had-to-be-there, totally random comments heard by family members today:

"What are you talking about, do you even know anyone thats Jewish?"

"I am thankful for my boobs that sag."

Lynn:I am thankful for my family, and for my new face, and...
Everyone Else: Lynn, Lynn, you only get one thing, we want to eat
Lynn: and I'm thankful for...

L: Move this, your hair is in your coffee
N: no it isn't.. what are you talking about
L: look at that spot on the tablecloth, its from the coffee dripping off your hair

"Ant, where's Jess?" This is only funny because I think everyone asked him this question.

"Good thing your roommate didn't come down with you, this family is a bunch of wackos"

"I turned on my car and its going to be nice and toasty.." Nicole singing while dancing club style, and gyrating against the door.

i love my brother

Holy cow, a lot of things are going on in the life of Dannae. First of all I was supposed to work tonight at Bertucci's even though I requested to have off Tuesday through Sunday. On Monday, I basically called and said I am going home, I have called everyone and can't find coverage, deal with it. I went home on Monday and was terrified that I was going to be fired upon returning. This morning I was praying because I really need money and I feared that I should have stayed at school for an extra two days just to work those three hours (and make like 30 bucks). Well I called work and they found someone to cover for me tonight so I was still going to have a job: answer to prayer part 1. Then Anthony (my step-brother, but I still call him my bro) came home and asked if I wanted to work with him tonight and collect the cover charge at a bar. After some deliberation I decided to go. It was way past my bedtime, but I was actually not that tired. I sat in a chair collected money and gave change. At the end of the night I made 150 bucks which is 5X what I would have made at bertuccis: Answer to prayer part 2. It was actually kind of fun. I got to laugh at the people who were begging to pay less to get in even though there was a line around the block of people who were willing to pay full price. And I had like my own personal bodyguard. This huge guy stood right next to me and wouldn't let people come within like three feet of me, it was awesome. I felt so important. Plus, I got to spent some time with my bro amongst all the craziness. So yea, I'm a dirty stay out. I can't even remember the last time I was up this late, but I'm a dirty stay out who's 150 dollars richer.

Oh PS Yay for finally getting my picture in my profile. It only took like a week. lol.

Its the most wonderful time of the year?

The period of time between thanksgiving and christmas is my favorite time of the year. Its so festive and fun and I just want to dive in and celebrate. I want to make christmas cookies and pumpkin pie and decorate. I want to buy people gifts and watch christmas movies and read christmas books. I want to spend some time with my savior and celebrate his birthday. There is only one minor problem.. I have SO MUCH WORK TO DO! The end of the semester stinks, its either right before Christmas where I'm so excited about the holidays or it is right before summer when I just want to be outside. I am always so unmotivated. I work my butt of the whole semester and fizzle out at the end. It is very frustrating. I just want to go home for Christmas and be done with it all but first comes 3.5 weeks of classes, two take home finals, two actual finals, a 12 page research paper, like 1000 pages of reading and about 10 greek and hebrew quizes. This is utterly insane. But such is the life of a student and after three years of college (last spring being the epitome of a crazy stressful end of the semester) I should be used to it and I know I can get through it.

Where are you Christmas?
Why can't I find you?

All is not lost. I will make it to my blessed holiday even if I don't have anywhere to sleep while I am on Long Island (thats another story for another day).

We're not that far from Bethlehem.
Where all our hope and joy begins.

done with reading week 2

Sigh.. i can't believe our second reading week is over. This is utterly insane. As i sit here dumbfounded by the emmense amount of work I didn't get done this past week I can't help but think "Time, will ya just SLOW DOWN for like 2 hours so I can be productive!" I really don't understand how I let this happen. I really did try to work. Its one of the wonders of the universe. So I guess tomorrow is back to the drawing board. Back to 8am's every day well at least for another 4 weeks before the semester ends. That is really crazy ya know?! I was about to say 'well nothing really exciting happened today..' but that is totally not true. If you want to know what it was i'll tell you, if you ask, but I'm not about to post it on such a thing as this. I am sorry to say i have no other thoughts besides those of sheer exhaustion and wiped-out-ness. (yes, i have just turned into Lints and made up a word.) i will talk to y'all at a later time when i can think coherently.

on going home...

Oh how nice it was to go home! I still can't believe I was on Long Island for 4 days. It was a little strange not knowing anyone there but my family but it was still fun. I did try really hard to get work done but it didn't work. I think there is something wrong with me. I can't focus. Oh well such is life. Its a funny thing going home however. Its like when you walk in the door it feels like the past two months just haven't happened. I mean it felt as if I just came back from work over the summer, I had never been to gordon conwell, I never met my friends here, and I still lived in port jeff. The same feelings come flooding back. It was so great seeing everyone again, I can't even explain how much I missed them. But I really believed that I moved on from all the crap I felt over the summer, and this week just showed me how much moving on I have left to do. I guess I just got good at forgetting about stuff and this week just made me remember. I know this is kind of mellodramatic, but I just feel so strange right now. Like when I was at home I felt like the past two months didn't happen, and now that I'm back here I feel as if the past few days didn't happen. I know I'm leaving out a lot of information... I'll fill in the blanks as I go along.

look!
