hopeless romantic films (well sorta :-P)

so recently i've seen a couple of movies that are now hopefully at least in the mail as i thought they were so good that i bought them (thanks ashley :-P). could be that i'm a bit of a hopeless romantic, but i felt the movies were just rather touching. altho, i also have to warn you that i am by no means a film critic in any way shape or form. to me, if the movie entertains me for however long it is, then i think it was a good movie. if somehow i connect with a character(s) and the movie leaves a lasting impression, then i say the movie is amazing.

The first movie is Latter Days. I had heard some good reviews before i had watched it, and it looked like it had a pretty good story line (i'm not going to type it here, but i'm sure you could find it somewhere like imdb or youtube). the movie just kept my attention the whole time and had a very emotional ending, as in there were slight waterworks (yup i admit it :-P).

the other movie was Shelter. once again i had heard some pretty good reviews about this one, which made me curious about it. i think i may have liked this one because (to me) it more or less deals with the choices a person makes in regard to those he cares about.

basically, both movies just somehow touched me. like i said could be that i'm a hopeless romantic or that i'm just trying to figure out what i really want. either way, these 2 movies have now made their way into my collection and are in the favorite section.

back home and growing up, well kinda :-P

well i made it back and all. actually i've been back for about a week, but didn't really feel like blogging. eventually i'll get something down about the trip, ie something dealing with the high school girls who said something along the lines of 'when we need to lose weight, we don't exercise, we just don't eat'. let me tell ya, they were an interesting group (to put it nicely).

now that i am back home, i need to really start looking for a job and join the real world :-( which i have mixed feelings about. i really want to have the feeling that i can survive on my own, but at the same time i also don't wanna grow up. i think it's possible for both.

i really haven't started to seriously look for a job yet, altho i do have an interview tomorrow at my brothers work for a contract position, which i think would be good for several reasons. One is that i'll be able to get a taste of statistics in the real world, and then if i find i don't like it i won't have to feel bad about quiting as it's just a summer position. if i do like it then i have my foot in the door and may be able to get a full-time position in the company. also it will allow me to be putting money in the bank while i try to figure out what exactly i want to do (ie where i want to live).

anyways, i should try to be productive and prepare for the interview tomorrow. this is one time i know i'm really going to hate being modest, as how can you sell yourself if you don't think you're 'all that'. oh well, guess i'll have to try and make myself not appear as modest.

with that i'm off to start preparing, laters
