Watched two lovely movies today while recovering from my semi-busy weekend. Love and Other Drugs was sad and I cried, but at the same time I liked it. I adore Anne Hathaway, and want to be her when I grow up, pretty much, and Jake Gyllenhaal, in case you haven't noticed, is HOT. So there's all that, and their chemistry was wonderful, and yes, I'm glad they didn't cop-out with a happy ending, but at the same time, I love happy endings, so.
Easy A, meanwhile, was a perfect romantic teen comedy thing (I struggle with movie genres), and now I like Emma Stone, whereas before I was just "meh" and Woodchuck Todd is awesome and I would like him in my life. Also, the humor in that movie was awesome, and her parents are my favorite things ever. I want Stanley Tucci to be my dad. Not that I don't love my dad, but Stanley Tucci is awesome. Maybe he can just be my uncle or something.
Camp is this weekend, after a short stop at Mackinac Island for a gathering of my mother's sisters. I'm a little bit upset, as I'll only be there for a day before being driven down to camp; the beaches in Michigan are amazing. Oh well; I suppose technically my camp is in Michigan too, so the beach there should suffice. At the very least it'll be better than the beaches near where I live.
I can never remember how much I've talked about camp on this thing. A lot? A little? I know I talk about how excited I am for it semi-regularly, and also that I've mentioned that I get nervous for it, but I don't think I've fully explained why. To be honest, it mainly has to do with the other counselors: because they all essentially go or went to the same two high schools, they all know each other from outside of camp, while I only know them all from camp (/very rarely from before I moved). And so they're all semi to very comfortable with one another, and since I've been a fixture at camp for some years I don't have any of that "introduce the new person to people" thing going for me, and I always forget people's names, and in general it's all just sort of awkward, because as I've mentioned I have a very strict social hierarchy and difficulty talking to people above me which makes introductions and small talk awkward especially with guys and oh my lord this is such a bad run-on/long sentence. Whew.
SO yeah, there's all that, but I really do think that the fact that camp pushes me out of my comfort zone helps me in my day-to-day life at high school. I really do believe that as awkward as I am, I would be so much worse if I didn't go to camp. So that's a plus. Also, I really do enjoy it, as a whole. I always semi-dread it going in, thinking it's going to be super bad, but I come out really excited for the next year, so obviously something's going right.
Yup, that's about all for now.
