I was reading Kati's blog just now, and I think I'm gonna go to Camp Campbell next year. I do love kids. and nature, especially the redwoods. and the people at school don't really know how... enthusiatic I can be... How easily I can put aside my self-conciousness, when it's for the kids. Anyway, it sounds like a lot of fun, I just want someone to come with me.
Anybody??
*silence*
I'm going to ask Sheila. She'd love it too, and it's for community service, so her mom ought to have no problem with it.

Scout
Yesterday, I realized something interesting about my little sister, Rachel. We were messing around, doing that's what she said-type jokes, and half of hers didn't make sense. I realized that she's like Scout. She uses these words, these jokes, but doesn't understand them. It was weird, because I wasn't quite like that. we both grew up VERY sheltered (private, Christian elementary school. Very overprotective parents. I've still only seen two or three R-rated movies.) but we dealt with the "real" world differently. I laughed when other people did, but I didn't know why, exactly, I was laughing. I sort of figured out my own definitons to stuff, and I'm still not sure if all of them are entirely correct, even now. Anyway, I don't know why I just said all this. I thought it was worth saying, at the time. Now I'm not so sure, but I need more blogs this week, so I think I'll post it anyway.
Bored.
I'm bored. And rather hyper.
Anyway, I don't know what to talk about so I'm just going to analyze Twilight (the movie). If you haven't read the book, then you'll have no idea what I'm talking about. Oh well.
Well, I FINALLY saw it on Sat. It was pretty good, but the book was SO much better. My main problem with the movie was how fast it all happened. In the movie, they fall in love so abruptly. It's like "We shouldn't be friends" [2 weeks go by, without any interaction] "I love you!" It makes Edward look really creepy, and Bella (plus all the fangirls) really naive. they are supposed to fall in love quickly, but they do talk to each other, for a week or so, before the meadow scene.
Ah, the meadow scene... That the movie completely screwed up! In the meadow, their conversation is supposed to go like this: "angst" "Bella's likely demise" "And so the lion fell in love with the lamb..." Instead, it goes like this: "angst" "And so the lion fell in love with the lamb..." And the "cheerful topic of [her] impending demise" was important! From that, it makes sense for Edward to say that he could never stand to see her dead, that he couldn't stand to be the one that killed her BECAUSE he loves her. which leads into the whole lion and lamb fun-ness. Which is just adorable. In the movie, they sort of skim over it, as if the only reason it's there is because the fangirls want it, not because it needs to, you know, make SENSE. And then the try to spilt the meadow in two parts, so the first half isn't even in the gorgeous meadow!
Also, they cut out one of my favorite scenes! It's not a very common favorite, not many people know it well, but I still looooove it. It is just before the baseball scene. Edward and Bella are at the end of the road, and they are going to have to run the rest of the way, and Bella is terrified of running, because last time, she got motion sick, and thought she was going to hit a tree. So she is outright refusing to go. What I love is what he does next. He "tampers with her memory". Which he does by just kissing her... and she totally loses her train of thought, and all her resistance. It's adorable.
Those were my main grievances with the movie version. I COULD go on for hours, but that's all I'm going to say for now.
