So I had an insanely INTERESTING night last night. I wish I hadn't missed ANOTHER RP post, because I totally have new icons I want to use but. Yeah. My night? Interesting.

I went to a dance show at the PAC- Hubbard Street II. A lot of really random things come to campus and it's kinda become a tradition that Steph and I will go almost without fail. Hey, they have student tickets to all of them for only $10 provided you buy the tickets right before. So if it sells out, oh well. But things usually don't cause it's a pretty big theatre in a pretty small town. But the dance company was QUITE good. Even if we were some of the only students in the audience. XD Amusing bit: One of the dancers in the program's name was Nefereti. I was disappointed she didn't have a huge blue ponytail. XD

We ran some errands, picked up some stuff to drink [and after so long I've finally decided I like beer and enjoy picking up random things. Hoegarden is really tasty], came back here and I was roped into watching some Avatar and then JD got a phone call from his friends asking him to come pick them up from the bar. Turns out a guy was harassing them and following them around and followed them into the parking lot. JD asked him to leave them alone so he can take him home and the guy threw a punch at him. Yeah. So JD ends up breaking his nose, he comes home where Steph and Bailey promptly fuss all over him and I sit there laughing. I think that says something for my mental sanity or something. He's a big boy, he can take care of himself and I sorta LIKE the fact that he's going to look out for whoever messes with those who care about him. And hey, the other guy hit first. It's not his fault that he finished it and did it better.

So then the plan became "get him as drunk as possible so that he at least doesn't feel the black eye." And oh how it succeeded. We ended up watching Elizabethtown, which is a truly FANTASTIC movie and I can't encourage people to watch enough. Seriously, it's great with AMAZING music and a good, inspiring story. But nine times out of ten I have to MAKE people give it a chance. But they always like it when they do. I don't see why people don't just TRUST ME. XD

So now I'm sitting in bed, mildly hungover myself after going to sleep at FOUR. Thank god it's Sunday.

I really like Elizabethtown. It's a lot better than people assume it'll be.

And I just love when Orlando says, "Whimsical. The word is whimsical" with the head tilt and everything.

EXACTLY. They're like. Orlando Bloom? Weird picture poster that doesn't look like it has much plot? PASS. But no. It's really quite good.

Oh yes. And he SMILES. Such a good time!

And Cameron Crowe's characters are both really vivid, but really real, like you could see someone totally acting like that. They don't do things just because it would be beneficial to the plot for them to do that. And Drew is so normal and unsure of himself and sdfshdfihsdihf. It's probably my favorite Orlando role. (And that's battling Balian, who I love.)

And I know it takes place in Kentucky, but it's really Southern. And I love when filmmakers accurately sum up Southerners.

The whole shoe thing is a bit outlandish, but how else is a filmmaker going to say he failed at filmmaking? XD

Haha! I won't call myself particularly knowledgeable about film, and I haven't even seen that many movies of Orlando Bloom, but of what I've seen, it really is my favorite for all the reasons you just mentioned. REALISTIC. It's downright fantastic.

I love the southernness of it because despite how utterly bizzare it is, it's really not that far from the truth. Massive parties for a funeral? Check. Home cooking on an old fashioned stove? Check. Obsession with generations worth of pictures? Check. It just goes on. JD was giving the years of when things that happened in the movie had happened in his house.

And hey. It being SHOES makes it funny!

omg, JD got his face punched in? Like, totally not cool.

In other news, I NEED TO SEE YOU GUYS THIS WEEK WTF.

My opinion... is different. About Elizabethtown. I would argue that it has no decent plot and never ends. But that's just me ;).

Glad you had a fun - interesting - weekend :D
