Dang.
Whatever.
After a day at work and a car adventure with Sarah, I had a chance to watch the beauty that is Garden State with Rachel. If I could marry a movie, this one would be my life long partner. I love every single thing about this movie... except the hotel peep show... that was awkward and wrong.

This show is freaking hilarious. This is the kind of funny you have to think about and notice the small things. Ricky Gervais is a legend. He plays David Brent (the boss), and he does a such a good job of making the audience cringe with embarrassment. Mackenzie Crook (Gareth) leaves the office with awkward laughter. Poor Tim (Martin Freeman) and Dawn (Lucy Davis) don't have right timing. I love everything about this office and I love both seasons and the Christmas special. I love the Christmas special the most.
This US version is also knee-slappingly funny. It's more slap stick, but it's great. Dwight is amazing and Jim and Pam also do not have the right timing. I almost wrote this show off because the first season was almost verbatim to the first series of the UK version, but finally left the nest in season 2. The show still follows a blurred guidline from the UK version in all the major changes, but has a mind of its own.
I'm guessing the fourth season of The Office (US) is going to be the last because they can't drag out the Jam relationship for too long without the show going stale. I can't wait until Jan leaves the show. She was okay as Michael's boss, but when she became a psycho sex freak she weirded me out. Her character needs to leave. It's bitter sweet that Ryan left; I never really liked him much, but he was funny. I can't wait for the season premier... even though I won't be here... thank God for the internet.
The family is leaving tomorrow.... I'm looking forward to the silence.

Meg done got her self grajiatd yesterday.
I'm excited.
After graduation I didn't feel any different. I went swimming; then, I came home and had a gathering of friends and family for a few hours. It felt like a birthday party with a buffet in my dining room. Today, though, was when it all hit me. I was running across town to Brentwood's graduation to watch Sara and a few others graduate, and then, to CPA's graduation to watch Lizzy and a couple more graduate. That's when it hit me that this is real and I won't be going back to the halls of Centennial High School ever again.
It's odd. It' really refreshing. Grade school was beyond stale.
The crazy thing is that through 13 years of education, I still don't really know what I want to do with my life. I know I'm going to leave it up to God, but I don't have any special talent or nack for anything. I'm just kinda mediocre at everything. I like making friends, but that's not going to pay the bills unless I was to get some very generous rich friends. Hopefully if and when I get married my husband has a bit more direction in his life.
One more transition to go until I will mercilessly be thrown into the real world and am forced to settle with something, though I'm prolonging that transition by going to England-- which as of now I have a little under $3,000 out of the $5,000 I need to raise, so things are looking good.
Prayer is a requested support, and if you feel like donating a buck, I won't tell you no, but the prayers are most important to me.

SO so very good. A couple cheap laughs that were placed in there that I admittantly did laugh at, but it felt a little bit out of place. Very unexpected ending that I liked a lot. It left it open for a fourth movie, and I can't say that I'm excited. I just don't want it to end up crap. It did a good job of tying in the other two films very well. I was impressed.
If this is true... I honestly don't want to see the fourth one. Not because it's Orlando Bloom, but Will Turner is an essential character to the POTC plot. If it wasn't for Will, Elizabeth, and Jack there would be no POTC. Without one of those characters it would feel empty and incomplete.
I also have to say that I wasn't to impressed with Elizabeth's role in this one either.

I love this movie. Go watch it... unless you don't like violence or swearing.
Mark Wahlberg adds some hilarious comic relief, and Nicholson is a gangsta til the end.
Check out the trailor here.

With the rest of my life starting, I figured this was a good time to pick this blog back up.
Today was my official last day of school. Went to take my physics exam, and left 2 hours later. Boo Ya.
All the family is coming this weekend. I hate cleaning. Dang graduation.
I was rereading all my posts and was surprised at how much God has directed my life in the past year. Certain things I worried about took care of themselves; I find myself looking back and laughing.
Hopefully that's the same this time.
I have to raise $5,000 to be able to go to England this fall. I want $6-7,000 in case there's something random I have to pay for. You never know. I won't stress this time.
I'm always talking about how great this next year will be, but sometimes I think I am pulling the wool over my own eyes because it's not going to always be easy (if easy at all).
The things I'm going to miss the most next year:
Rachel
Sara
Charis
Traci
Nichole
Kara
My Church
My Family
My Dog
The Weather
Driving
My Room
American Food
Feeling At Home
Matthew 6.34
Jeremiah 29.11-13
