Must See Flick

HEHEHE okay so..............................have any of you seen milo and otis??
WELL it's a charming lil story about a "curious kitten and a pug-nosed pup", it's intended for like 5 (ish) year olds...but meh, its spectacular to say the least. i loooove it. I used to watch it lots when i was a youngin, and then it broke . * tear * So Santa gave me a new one! yay! mostly cause i've been such a nice girl, of course... i've watched it like 5 times in the last two days! It's fantastic. Liz, out.

odds and ends

For never was a story of more woe, than this of Juliet and her Romeo

ok, so i love this play, alot. The first time i read it i liked it, but not alot. This time i read it i LOVED it so much. I think the main difference is that i can relate to the way the characters are feeling now, more than i could the first time i read it. As i was reading Act V, Scene III, (the end of the play) the pages were like wet with tears....i couldn't stop crying! O Shakespeare you're a genius indeed. I find it so amazing that his plays are still read world wide, centuries after his death. People can still relate to the characters, i guess human nature hasn't changed, how could it? That's my favorite thing about Shakespeare - his remarkable ability to portray human nature.

Have you ever seen the fil, Romeo and Juliet? Not the lame Leonardo DiCapprio one, okay that one isn't lame...how could it be? after all, its directed by the fabulously talented Baz Luhrham (can't spell, hes the guy that did Moulin Rouge!). Anyways...the old one is better! It was directed by Franco Zeffirelli in 1968, its amazing!! Juliet is so pretty, and so is romeo's voice haha. Its definately in my top 3 movie list...ya, its that good! I cried when we watched it in class, it was a little embarrassing but what evs. It was a fantastic film, to say the least. O ya weird coincidence...when i got home (right after crying during the film in English class), i turned on the T.V. and the weekenders was on. You know - Tino, Carver, Lor, Tish, Pizza Place - on the Family Channel...well anyway Tino had just cried during Romeo and Juliet in his english class - he was really embarrassed about it! Weird huh? I thought so.

yay

Afterall there's only six more sleeps till Christmas! .. . .. .. . .. .

Change of subject

So i am really confused should i be a total ungrateful prat and follow my greatest dream, as one might say, or should i go into submission and enjoy a lesser dream?? My mommy has worked very hard over the last month to ensure that I can, without a doubt, spend next year in England, living with my Grandparents and cousin and attending Greenhead College. which is cool, it would be fun, lots of fun. But, i wouldn't be stepping out of my comfort zone, and i wouldnt be learning a new language. My original, well not quite original, dream was to spend next year with a host family in denmark through YFU Canada Exchange Program. It will cost more money, because i cant get a Danish citizenship, but i will be totally immersed in something strange to me, gain independence and learn a new language. I would need to spend more time working, applying for scholarships, and findraising...which is tedious. I would also be ignoring all the work my mommadoosa did...which is sad. But the opportunity to travel to england will arise again, denmark not so much. What should i do? seriously i need help, comment with your advice.

song of the week

This week's song may come as a surprise to you because it isn't a typical "Liz" tune. Rob Zombie is a fucked up fella, but this song shows us that he is also an amazing artist. It seems kinda emo, but i promise its good, listen to it! I love this song, sorry for the lack of christmasness in it though...
Dracula - Rob Zombie
Dead I am the one, exterminating son
Slipping through the trees, stranglin the breeze
Dead I am the sky, watchin angels cry
While they slowly turn, conquering the worrrrrrrm

Dig through the ditches and burn through the witches
and slam in the back of my Dragula x2

Dead I am the pool, draining from the fool
Weak and want you need, nowhere as you bleed
Dead I am the rat, feast upon the cat
Tender is the fur, dying as you purrrrrrrrr

Dig through the ditches and burn through the witches
and slam in the back of my Dragula x2

Do it Baby, Do it Baby
Do it Baby, Do it Baby
burn like an animal

Dead I am the dog, hound of hell you cry
Devil on your back, I can never die

Do it Baby, Do it Baby
Do it Baby, Do it Baby
burn like the animal

Dig through the ditches and burn through the witches
and slam in the back of my Dragula x2

Dig through the ditches and burn through the witches
and slam in the back of my Dragula x2

Ya its good...

blogworthy coincidence

Last week during leadership class Mr. Ofrim came in and asked if anyone would like to befriend a new student, Adrean (can't spell, sorry) that would be arriving next week (today). Vlatka and I, being the enthusiastic, friendly young ladies that we are, volunteered ourselves immediately. So we arrived at the school early this morning awaiting her arrival, and preparing our tour route around the school. She missed her bus this morning so it was well into first block (gym) when she arrived. Which was just dandy because today we were supposed to be dancing with the grade 11 boys (scary!) in gym class. Anyways, we spent over an hour touring the school, getting a locker and books, and just chatting it up. 2nd block happenned. Lunch time came and we were talking about where Adrian lived before...she moved to camrose from bawlf, but before that she lived in Nova Scotia, and before that Medicine Hat and there was another place in there too, and then she told me that she lived in Bittern Lake untill she was like 4 or 5 years old and she went to kindergarten at sifton school!! Not only was she in my kindergarten class, but we were best friends!! I have 3 pictures of us when we are just little playing at kindergarten. Isnt that crazy???

#1 Christmas Song

December's here, i've got christmas on the brain! I love jazz music like eliza doolittle loves taxi rides. (ALOT) So, naturally this song is the best. For those of you who are unfamiliar, its a jazz duet...the left is sung by a girl and the right is sung by a boy, and the green means they sing it together.

Baby It's Cold Outside

I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away - Baby it's cold outside
This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry
well Maybe just a half a drink more - Put some music on while I pour

The neighbors might think - Baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink - No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir - Mind if I move a little closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my pride
I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out
Ahh, but it's cold outside

C'mon baby

I simply must go - Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no - Ooh baby, it's cold outside
This welcome has been - I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm -- Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious - Man, your lips look so delicious
My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Gosh your lips look delicious
Well maybe just a half a drink more - Never such a blizzard before

I've got to go home - Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your comb - It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand - Your eyes are like starlight now
But don't you see - How can you do this thing to me
There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Making my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay - Get over that old out
Ahh, but it's cold outside

Baby it's cold outside
Brr its cold….
It's cold out there
Cant you stay awhile longer baby
Well…..I really shouldn't...alright
Make it worth your while baby

Its so good!! especially the ella fitsgerald version, or the one off elf! Liz out.

In other news...my social class today held a mock provincial election. Twenty voted (intelligently) Stelmach, 4 Dinning, and 2 Morton. Then we voted for who would actually win the election, and almost everyone voted Dinning, i found it funny that no one trusted their original vote. hehe, we'll see how it goes. Liz out.
