inception days 10, 11, 12, 13, & 14; yes i was slacking.

Day 10 - If you could guarantee one Academy Award for Inception, what would it be (besides best movie)?: Is there a category for special effects without computers? If so, it'd win. Other than that, best original screenplay, best directing. And Marion Cotillard for best supporting actress. You played a crazy bitch well.

Day 11 - In your group of friends who would be the Extractor?: Lol, my friend Courtney. The reasoning behind this is because she's got a lot of attributes from each of the other jobs (which you need for Extracting), and she could probably handle the action.

Day 12 - The Point Man?: I feel like this would be my old roommate Martine. She loves research and loves history. Also, she remembers it all and is really good at putting it all together. And she'd want some badass job like Arthur (Joseph Gordon Levitt) has, with all the guns.

Day 13 - The Chemist?: This is a hard one, just because none of my friends are into chemistry. Collectively, I think we know how to drug ourselves…? LOL, seriously though. I'm not quite sure of this, and I never will be.

Day 14 - The Forger?: My friend named Amber. I've never met anyone who can just walk up to anyone and make that person feel completely comfortable enough to just talk about their lives except Amber. I feel like she'd make a good Forger.

inception day eight and nine & other junk.

oooh, here we go!! SPOILER ALERT.




Day 8 - Your reaction to the ending: I cried. Not like a baby, but because that ending makes the whole movie. I needed to know if the totem fell over, and then I realized I didn't want to know. Because even if it was all a dream, Cobb is where he'd like to be now. And isn't that what we wish for each other, to know that everything is alright for each other? It's like the reason why people go loopy for Harry Potter or Lady Gaga. The way the story makes you feel, the way the music makes you feel, is what matters. Does it matter if you can't touch it, if it's not real? No. Because you felt something, and you grew from it.

Day 9 - Do you think it fell over?: No, my official~ answer is no. I think he's in his head, lost. His lost grip on reality, the fact that the dreams could very well have been a reality, confirms it for me. [See the scene where they get the chemist & when he talks to Mal in the end.] However, I used to want it to fall over, just because my favorite characters would exist! But I think Cobb based them all on real people, so It's okay. I'VE GOT SO MANY THEORIES.

For the life of me, I can't clean my room. I just can't. I don't know what it is other than the sheer overwhelming-ness quality that cleaning my room has. Unless I absolutely MUST do it, I become overwhelmed easily, as evidenced by the fact that packing or unpacking all of my dorm things is so easy. I should go do the dishes. Then I'll go do some crap related to fixing my clothes.

If I didn't have the internet, I'd probably be a proactive, energetic, progressive person. Life fail?

my 30 day INCEPTION thing. & other things

Day 1 - Your favorite character: Eames, Arthur, or Ariadne.
Day 2 - Your favorite quote: "Don't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling." & "A single idea from the human mind can build cities. An idea can transform the world and rewrite all the rules."
Day 3 - Your favorite scene: The whole damn movie, dammit.
Day 4 - Your favorite score: Hm. Probably the one that was playing when Fischer got shot at the end. I thought the whole thing was beautiful, but this one really got my heart racing.
Day 5 - Your totem: In all honesty, probably a ring or an earring.
Day 6 - A song that makes you think of Inception: This song by Fall Out Boy that goes "You are the dreamer, and we are the dream. I could write it better than you ever felt it." (Hum Hallelujah)

Day 7 - Who would you be and why? (Forger, Architect, Point Man, Extractor, Chemist): I would be the Architect, simply because that's what I'm going to school for. LOL. Being the Point Man would be too boring for my taste, being the Extractor is too too intense for me, and being the Chemist requires too much SCIENCE. The Shade, The Mark, and The Tourist don't even really work in the whole thing. And if I couldn't be an Architect, I'd be a Forger. Because Eames was a badass. And I love badassery. And though he wasn't "smart" like the Point Man, he understood people's minds and how to get what he wanted from their mind.

And I know it's technically Saturday and should post day eight. I'm going to wait for the daytime for that.


This is my darling desktop wallpaper right now. [The quote is my favorite quote from the movie.] I got the pic from someone, but I photoshopped the quote in.

I've been told that I'm boring/conservative in my mode of dress. When I make up outfits for my characters and think about what to wear, I do semi-outrageous things. So, it made no sense to me why my mother turned to me and said "you know you're boring, right?" .... It kinda hurt for her to say this. I like odd clothes, shoes, bags, jackets. I own many jackets in odd colors (highlighter orange and lime green and other things...). So I've decided that this upcoming semester I'm not going to be "boring." ... The word boring pisses me right the hell off. So fuck that noise, I do what I want.

Speaking of which, I've come to the point where I honestly don't care [what people think of me]. And if I do, I'm not going to let you see it. LOL. *random thought process where I come to a conclusion that no one's going to understand* I think that, for me, "not caring what others think of me" comes from self-importance. Maybe too much of it. And self-importance might not even be what I'm talking about. Oh well.

I think I accidentally led my cousin who I previously talked about to this page. How do I lock this thing? *frustrations*

I'm cutting up old magazines to decorate a gift bag for gifts that I'm giving to my old roommate. I love making things out of paper things. I've got an attachment to all things paper. I think it's because of writing. But seriously, once something is in text, in print, you can't take it back... It's weird for me, like a no-return policy.

INCEPTION. INCEPTION.

I GOT THIS FROM TUMBLR. ... I'm going to go from the first time I saw Inception, which was 6 days ago. So I'm filling in the first six. and I might have multiple answers.

Day 1 - Your favorite character: Eames, Arthur, or Ariadne.

Day 2 - Your favorite quote: "Don't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling." & "A single idea from the human mind can build cities. An idea can transform the world and rewrite all the rules."

Day 3 - Your favorite scene: The whole damn movie, dammit.

Day 4 - Your favorite score: Hm. Probably the one that was playing when Fischer got shot at the end. I thought the whole thing was beautiful, but this one really got my heart racing.

Day 5 - Your totem: In all honesty, probably a ring or an earring.

Day 6 - A song that makes you think of Inception: This song by Fall Out Boy that goes "You are the dreamer, and we are the dream. I could write it better than you ever felt it." (Hum Hallelujah)

That's all for now. Day 7 is tomorrow. =D

[i'm the] queen of apology

Before I begin, I would just like to apologize if I'm a depressing person. I feel like blogs are a place to put things I wouldn't normally say aloud. *shrug* Unfortunately, I say good things but keep bad things inside. So, for me blogs may be slightly depressing because I just don't say it. But I don't think this one is depressing, just chatty.

Blog Post 7/14/2010

Things I Have Learned This Week (… and it's only Wednesday)

1. My cousin from the Bahamas (who is in elementary school) is not doing well in school due to the fact that no one can take her. Therefore, she's coming to live with us here in Georgia (she was born here, so it's more or less okay) and go to school here where there's structure. Please note that my 24 year old cousin is already living with us (to find a job), but is going back to college in late August. {more on that later} This means that my 24 year old cousin will move into my room while my Bahamian cousin lives in the room that my 24 year old cousin occupies now (for a little while). Which means that for a week or two, I (or my cousin) will be without a room. [Her not having a room is worse than me not having a room in my opinion because she'll take it internally and complain and be sad about it.]

2. My 24 year old cousin who I previously mentioned cries to herself when she thinks no one notices. This is because she's been here for a year going to job fairs and tutoring and substitute teaching and she hasn't gotten a job. She is trying to become an actuary as well. She actually wants to be a writer, but I think she's doing the whole "starving artist" thing. She makes things hard for herself, and because she's so absorbed in herself, she fails to notice the failing structure of our home. She thinks that because she technically doesn't live here, that it's not her problem. Note that this is the same cousin who, on April Fool's Day of this year, threw our entire family into tumult because of her carelessness. She's going back to college to get a degree in "geography planning," which is something she doesn't even want to do, but she's doing it because they'll pay her for it.

3. Money is scarce. Because my parents did not want me to drive in high school, I do not know how to drive. Because I do not know how to drive, I have no car. Because I have no car, I can't go to places where I need to be. Because I can't get anywhere, I cannot get a job. Because I cannot get a job, I cannot get the things I need to "succeed in my endeavors." I have no money, and it's really annoying.

4. I can't live harmoniously with my parents anymore. I just can't. They don't listen, they don't notice anything.

5. I really miss school. I miss architecture so much. I miss doing things with my hands and taking all the things that I'm good at and putting them together to make something. I don't miss my college, just the state of mind that I'm in while I'm there. I'm in constant creative, taking care of myself mode, and that's really good for me. Whereas when I'm home, I'm idle, and if I don't do anything, I feel like I'm letting myself down. Going back to school should be really good for me.


Why is it that most of the world's problems (including ALL of my problems) can be solved by just paying attention to other people and communicating? HEY OLDER COUSIN, maybe if you paid attention, you'd know that my sister hurts herself. HEY MOTHER, maybe if you paid attention, you'd know the older cousin is in a deep depressive state.

Everyone has their own problems, but does that mean we should forget everyone else's issues as well?
