I'm in love.

I think I've said it before, but I'll say it again--

JIM STURGESS IS THE SEXIEST MAN ALIVE.

My mom and I kind of have a bond over him... He looks so much like Paul McCartney (which, I theorize, is why he got the part of Jude in Across the Universe) and my mom absolutely LOVES Paul McCartney. So I want the younger version. >3

Just look at him! And with his hair all messy like that... he could make a pretty good James Potter PB, no? So cute.

Clean, clean, clean.

It's all I seem to do these days. Do the dishes. Do the laundry. Sweep the kitchen. Scrub the toilet. Wash the cabinets. And my sister never does her chores (Well... not NEVER. Just rarely!). I thought I'd be done with the super crazy cleaning after graduation, but NOOOO. Now we have friends from Baton Rouge staying with us for the College World Series, and where do they stay? MY ROOM. Why? "Because you have a full-size bed, Whitney. It's only fair."

So I get to clean my room, which is in a state of disarray due to the fact that I'm moving into my apartment in the beginning of August. I just got a bunch of boxes from my friend to start packing. So I have to get my packing in high gear so I can shove my boxes full of stuff into my closet so people can sleep in my room while I "sleep" on the floor of my sister's room.

I'm so excited. NOT.

No, really, I am kind of excited. These are family friends that I haven't ever met. Not that I remember at least. I think I met them when I was, like, two. But they're really sweet people, and I've always heard stories about them, so I guess I'm pretty stoked for that. It'll be fun. I think their 15-year-old son is coming... maybe he's cute... XD (I'm such a pedofile, I'm 18!!!)

In other news, OMG I WISH I COULD GO TO CHICAGO FOR THE BREAKING DAWN TOURRRRR. ;_; Too bad I'm gonna be moving into my apartment that week. Srsly. But I like Blue October, and I LOOOVVVVVEEEE Stephenie Meyer. Maybe she'll write another book and FINALLY come to Nebraska. There are a whole lotta Stephenie Meyer fans out here. Practically every girl I've ever met has read them. I even wrangled my sister into reading them! But that was kind of a mean thing... She claims to be a romantic, so I said "Really? If you're a romantic, you'll like these." I just wanted to prove to her that I'm more of a romantic than she is. She doesn't even kiss her boyfriend (at least she claims that...). Not a romantic. She's a PRUDE. But I love her. <333

Oh well. Guess I'll get back to shoving crap into boxes until my bed is finally uncovered so I can sleep... And then most likely be woken up by my sister, who has taken to flinging herself in my room in the morning every time she sees something slightly interesting on TV. This morning it was Cry Baby (the musical) performing for the Today Show... I think. Either way, I was angry and tired. But I know she does it because she thinks I want to see stuff like that. I just don't like having heart attacks. O_o;

Now playing: Blue October - Overweight
via FoxyTunes

Holy Downloading.

Still downloading every single song on Stephenie Meyer's playlists. I'm just starting on Eclipse. Man, I love this music. It's SOOO good! I listened to the New Moon playlist while reading Eclipse the other night... It makes it much more interesting, let me tell you. I'll have to listen to the music a little more, though. I don't know many of the songs, so I tend to listen to them more closely, which distracts me from the words on the page. I was surprised that I knew as many songs as I did. Liiiike... "I Miss You" by Blink-182. TOTALLY didn't know that song was called "I Miss You." Or "The Reason" by Hoobastank. Or "Hate Me" by Blue October. I was actually singing along with them before I figured out that I knew-- and liked-- the songs. I think "Fix You" by Coldplay was another one...

Anywho, my quest to fix my iTunes is nearly complete. Did I write about that? Through some extremely impressive acts of stupidity, I managed to delete every single song off my computer. My dad, being the wonderful genius that he is, recovered them for me, but I still feel really stupid. And I had to move all of my music to a different harddrive because we decided to put it on a shared drive. I'm the only one that manages any music through iTunes, so my sister would be helpless if I didn't load things for her. So I've been re-adding the 1000+ songs that I had on there, re-importing the CD files that were corrupted from being deleted, and so on and so forth. I'm also adding some really old CDs of mine... and my mom's. Gotta love the good stuff-- Wings, Edwin McCain, The Beatles, REO Speedwagon, Little River Band, ABBA... OH MAN. It's good.

I'm wired from seeing Iron Man. I FINALLY got out of the house. I've been trapped here with my dad for the past two weeks. I graduate and suddenly it seems I fall off the face of the earth-- socially at least. The only person that invites me to do anything is my soon-to-be roommate, and I'm trying to lessen our time together since I'll be living with her soon. I love her to death, but sometimes too much of a good thing can become a bad thing, and I don't want that to happen with us. ANYWAY. Iron Man was great, but there was this REALLY annoying girl that sat next to my dad... She wouldn't shut up. I was about to say something to her, but then my dad said something instead, which was probably a good thing because he was much more polite than I would have been. And then she was screaming at everyone to stay because there was something at the end of the credits, but a bunch of people left anyway. But I was like, "Uh, lady, no one is listening to you because they're tired of your voice. They didn't want to hear you in the middle of the movie, and they don't want to hear you now. SHUT UP."

Well, now I must let the dog out, so I'll end this silly rant about nothingness.

Done.

It's official-- I've graduated from high school. Scary, I know.

So I've been at home by myself for the past, oh, week I'd say. My sister's been at school. Yesterday was her last day-- she got to test out of all of her semester tests (except for Precalc... She's chosen to take that test because she's an over-achiever). And what does she do today? She goes to a movie with her junior friends and leaves me by myself. AGAIN.

So I'm cleaning my room, and sort of packing along the way. I've been doing that for a few days now. My room was really that bad. I can now walk in it, but it's got a long way to go. It gets better, then it gets worse again... And then I decide to take really long breaks where I decide to download music or talk to people on Windows Live Messenger. My downloading is getting out of hand, but I've got a BUNCH of really cool songs. I'm downloading every song on Stephenie Meyer's book playlists. I'm a nerd, I know. But she has AWESOME taste in music. And I'm sick of listening to Broadway showtunes. Shh! don't tell Jordan; he'll have a heart attack.

WELLLLLLL, I better get back to my room. Maybe I'll try downloading a few more songs. Limewire crapped out on me last night, so I ended up reading for about... four hours and then going to bed. My life is so BORING. At least I'll (hopefully) get a job soon. I applied at a Christian book store called Parables. It's practically a step away from soon-to-be MY apartment. I could walk to work from my apartment if I didn't have to walk on major roads. Wait, I think I could walk anyway. I think the walking trail goes right past it. Hm.

Anywho, so I have connections in the store, and I think I can get a job there. WOO! But enough about that. I'm going to CLEAN.

<3

I couldn't think of a title.

Anyway, I just wanted to mention that I love the movie Bicentennial Man. Really, I do. Robin Williams is amazing. And I think it's Robin Williams week because I don't think we've changed the channel since yesterday, and yesterday I watched part of Jack and part of Patch Adams.

So yeah.

Hold on, spider monkey.

Oh my good lord.

Just watched another Twilight clip. I'M IN LOVE. I'm literally SWOONING. I'm about ready to cry because it just is so... so... BEAUTIFUL. And Stephenie was in this clip. <3 She's my ultimate hero.


They don't really say much in the clip... I think it was the first time I'd heard Carlisle or Esme talk (well, the actors... whatever). And I'm in love with Alice. AND THE NOMADS. *swoons again* I want to steal Laurent. <333 I think it's cool the way they make it look like they're walking at normal speed, but they're actually walking ultra fast... You've just gotta watch the clip to see it.

There's also something that Edward says and I was kind of like WTF?! He calls Bella a SPIDER MONKEY. Maybe I don't remember that part. It doesn't seem like a very Edward thing to say. But perhaps I don't "get" Edward. Stephenie said that she's surprised by the heaps of fanfiction that she reads where Edward is just... wrong. That's kind of why I'm so scared to write Twilight fanfiction (even though I'm working on one right now XD). ANYWAY, it's not like it's terrible that he calls her a spider monkey or anything, it's just a little... weird to me. But I'm open for anything. If Stephenie likes it, then I like it. And that is that.

The Beatles.

I love The Beatles. <333

I just thought I'd put that out there for people to know.

And I'm not one of those 'jump on the band wagon,' 'I saw Across The Universe and now I like The Beatles' sort of people. I've always loved them. My mom loves them. They were pretty much the first music I was introduced to, and it's going to be the same way with my children. There's no better music than The Beatles.

Soooo I'm updating my iTunes with a bunch of my mom's Beatles CDs. They're the old CDs, the ones that came out in like 1987, so the sound quality is poor. ;_; But it's better than nothing, you know?
