Another Addition of Pathos and Komos

So, today a couple things happened:

I went to church. That was pretty cool. I got to hang out with all the super awesome guys that are there (guys in the gender-neutral sense). One guy (in the masculine sense) is pretty funny. Unfortunately, his name starts with A too...so he's not the A-Man...um...y'know, I've just decided that coming up with random names for people is incredibly and annoyingly confusing. I'll just call them by their names...except the A-Man. So, Adam (the guy at church) cracks me up all the time. He's just so funny, serious and smart, too. But some people don't really like him because he's slightly (meaning...totally) ADHD. Honestly, I don't really mind. In my opinion, everyone is ADHD. In fact, it's inherent in all humans. We have a natural tendency to allow our minds to wander. Just in some people that tendency is more obvious than in others, lol. So...yeah.

Just to clarify, I'm not *interested* in Adam. He's just a really, really great guy.

So after church, Hannah (a friend of mine) was going to the movie theatre with Andy (who's not her boyfriend but they've gone out before...like, mutual dating without being bf/gf...sorta). But her mom wasn't keen on her going alone (I guess 'cause they're not bf/gf...?) so another guy named Tyler was going. However, I guess having two guys alone in a dark movie theatre didn't swing so well with Hannah's mom so I was pulled into it. And of course, then there was choosing the movie. They were all like "Let's see Hancock!" and I was like, "Um...idk..." So then they wanted to see "The Dark Knight" which I totally can't see without another Dark Knight, lol. Or by myself. But I was definitely not going to see it with non-DKs... That might seem really....selfish, I guess. But that's just the way I feel about it. So, I'll see it by myself...or with another DK...or something. :)

We saw "Hancock". I have one thing to say on that film: Don't See It. Unless, of course, you like films with no real plot, the lack of a steady-cam, and in which the most commonly used word is a**hole... Because if you like those movies, by all means, cart yourself off to your local theatre and suffer through the 1hr and 30 min film. Otherwise, don't waste your money. Because, it'd honestly be a waste. In fact, I wouldn't even recommend renting it. (Unless you got free rentals or something and absolutely could not think of a movie to see, in which case, call me and I'll give you suggestions so your eyeballs don't have to suffer the visions of "Hancock".) Oh - and one more thing: in one scene, they circled Hancock's head, to like show him off or something, but they circled it like 10 times... Seriously, Hannah and Andy were both like "I'm getting dizzy....".

Tyler and I laughed and made wise-cracks throughout the whole show to each other. Hannah and Andy were in their own little world thing...lol...with the occasional "shhh, Karen!" lol. Honestly, I'm never loud in theatres - unless it's a stupid show. :)

Tonight, my family and I went to see "Romeo and Juliet" at the local Shakespeare Festival. It was very cool. I've seen "R+J" in the Franco Zefferelli (sp?) film with the incredible Harry Mancini theme song (which I adore!), and the interesting bedroom scene...lol. (Sidenote: when my older sis and I saw that scene were kept sticking our hand on the tv and saying 'censored image!' and it made it an absolutely comical scene to watch...) Anyway, seeing it performed on stage was amazing. The Romeo and the Juliet had incredible chemistry with each other. At the very end, they were both literally sobbing over the funeral... I was like, "oh...wow...they're actually crying!" And because it was live, you could tell it wasn't edited in or anything! I'm sure seeing "R+J" would've been incredibly romantic if you were there as a couple (and there were quite a few couples there). As it was, my lovely 4 siblings (3 younger) kept it real...lol. And my youngest sibling kept moving... And everyone kept moving... Probably because we were sitting on a blanket on grass and the grass wasn't that comfortable after 1.5 hours...maybe...lol.

So...my year has been going well. I'll be starting school again soon...probably within the next couple weeks. And I leave for North Carolina on Saturday. That'll be interesting...lllllllooooonnnnnngggggggg trip... Happily, we are doing it in two runs: Saturday we go to Richmond. Sunday we finish the trip to southern North (almost South) Carolina. *sigh*

And...that's it.
