Holy Kleenex, Batman! It was right under our nose's and we blew it!

In the spirit of the greatest movie I think I have ever seen, I'm all crazy about Batman currently, and the old movie/TV shows are possibly the most hilarious things ever. Especially Robin, and among his many "HOLY ___ BATMAN!" quotes, I have to say this is one of my favorites.

And now I realize this is a twilight blog, and soon enough, possibly, Alisha and I will have another blog open to talk about other things, (like how freaking awesome The Dark Knight was! Am I right?! Of course I am.) so I'll try and refrain from getting too off-topic while writing here.

Now I haven't read Twilight in awhile, and by awhile I think it's been since about the beginning of the summer. So I'll be sure to re-read it before we really get going.

I guess I'm going to first talk about things I would like to bring up in future blogs; things I would like to argue with Alisha about. However, I actually have no ideas right now. You know, besides the whole, she hates Jacob, I'm a little bit in love with him. So that will come, as well as other ideas once I've read the books again (hopefully).

So all in all, it looks like this was a pretty pointless post. I just really wanted to write something with that title. I guess this way you readers (are there any? I don't think so.) could see a little more about who I am? What better way to do this than a long unimportant list of random things about myself?

The Giver just might be the greatest book ever; everyone should read it many many times. I'm petrified of Oompa Loompas (from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, not Tim Burton's version). Beethoven's piano sonatas are absolute genius. I think I might be as scared of velociraptors as the guy who writes xkcd. If you've ever read Jurassic Park, you must feel the same way. (The movie makes them scary but they are just absolutely terrifying in the book.) I just stumbled across this and I really liked it. Stumble probably ruined any chance I had of doing well away at college this year, but I love it all the same. I don't think I can count the number of times I have read Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow (as well as the rest of the Shadow series), The Giver, any Harry Potter book, or Twilight. I have a Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time kite hanging up in my room that I stole from my brother years ago. My Complete Tales and Poems of Winnie the Pooh book recently came off my shelf and I remembered how amazing those stories are. Frankenstein was probably the first book I read for school that I really got into and thoroughly enjoyed, but I didn't read a lot of the books I was supposed to (like The Picture of Dorian Gray, which I will read soon). I think Oscar Wilde is a wonderful genius, even knowing that he seduced straight men and slept with teenage boys (but you shouldn't hate him, so did the Romans! and no one hates them).

I feel like I'm talking too much about books. Beethoven's 6th symphony can put anyone in an awesome mood (thanks Disney for making Fantasia and seeing to it that I grew up listening to that song). I usually hate shopping and after many failed attempts of finding a prom dress, I played the 4th movement of Resphigi's Pines of Rome on the way to our last stop and found the greatest dress ever. The only thing I've ever enjoyed studying is poetry translations I did in Latin last year and my Senior year of high school (Cicero's Pro Archia and the beginning of The Aneid, and as much as Cicero's "sentences" sucked to translate he had some brilliant things to say). This paragraph makes me feel like a huge nerd, but I swear I'm normal.

Everyone should watch the movie Amelie (and listen to the soundtrack). I'm sort of in love with Michael J. Fox from his Back to the Future days. Also with Gene Kelly, from all of his days. Singing in the Rain is an amazing movie and as much as I love Gene Kelly, the real stars of that movie were Donald O'Connor (just watch this and you'll see what I mean) and Jean Hagen. Oh also, I'm taking French next year instead of Latin and the only reason is so that when I go to France I can somehow meet Gaspard Ulliel (and speak French because it' just makes more sense that way). My iPod died recently and the warranty ran out only a few months before. I guess it's okay though because all of my music wouldn't fit on the old 30 gig one.

I have to go clean my room now because it's always messy and my mom is having company over tonight. Of course they won't even see my room, but what can I do.

Okay the end finally!
