here again

things i've done for the past few days that i'm glad i did:

- i read [like, finally!] Girl, Interrupted. is it disturbing that i can like, totally relate to it? and is it like, disturbing that i like, sound like a bimbo? lol, im being stupid again.
i picked up the copy from my friend's desk - she had borrowed it from the library and didnt like it. [why??] things like that happen in my class, stuff like pagazines, cds get passed around so much in good nature that in the end you never know where it ends up. then you have to announce, for um, a thousand times that yes - i would like my stuff back now and most of the time, it mysteriously ends up on your desk again!
so, back to the book. it's truly fantastic. it's so..psychotic and logical at the same time. rational insanity. please tell me if you've read it that you ddnt find it *weird* cuz if you do as well, um, it means im the weird one. which is not so badd really, you should visit Weird Land. it's all psychedlic and silently noisy and full of people wearing vegetables.
times like these, i really wish i was the book-buying kinda person. sadly though, i have no moolah for this indulgence. and my library account is unuseble[?] because i owe them money. so i'm dependent on my friend's borrowed books which is rather disappointing since they like um, trash along the lines of...cheesy 'the girl who's a spy/psychic/cheerleader and is blonde, beautiful smart and oh dear! what a terrible life she leads!' kind of books. so.

-watching The Pianist again. i love that movie. and no, it is NOT because i like Adrien Brody. and yes, i know his nose is of epic proportions [it's kinda hard to miss, duh] but it's his charisma! his charisma! he's all broody [oooh, punny] and he has eyes tht are really nice.
and is that him really playing the piano in the movie? ..i never found out.
the point is, the movie is just so moving- like the part when he finally reunites with this piano but he cant play it so he just hovers his deft fingers over the keys and 'plays'.
...i have nothing to say other than the fact that it is a fantastic movie with great cinematography [is that wht they call it?] with good actors.

oh yes. there's this guy in my class who reminds everybody of Brody in the Pianist. he's tall, and has the similar look. and he CAN play the piano fantastically. i think he's a Grade 9-er. once, we bullied him into playing a bit for us on the piano and literally, all the girls SWOONED as the guys enviously looked on.

i've been wanting to rant about this for awhile.
there's this girl i know and her particular CCA requires her to watch her weight and her coach even insists on making them diet. the thing is, she's skinny. ok, not exactly sticks but DEFINITELY on the slim, sylph side.

it makes no sense.

this cca is actually PROMOTING eating disorders that's already so rampant. and it's not as if we're living in Ye Olden Days where stuff like anorexia and bulimia is reltively unknown. it's SHOVED in our faces day to day with it being featured in cheesy television teen dramas.
dammit, our FRIENDS suffer from it! that's how close it is and here they are promoting something that is althogether destructive physically AND mentally? it just makes no sense.

it's like..saying no, you shouldn't smoke, it's bad for you. oh but did you know it REALLY, REALLY FEELS GOOD? IT'S OUT OF THIS WORLD. AND IF YOU THINK SMOKING'S HEAVENLY [well it is fatal] GO ON KIDDIES, TRY DRUGS! oh, but dont. their really bad. trust us, b.a.d. dont do it, BUT IT FEELS GOOD THOUGH.

-sighs-

do the school authorities know of this?? surely they've noticed that nearly all girls in that cca are unusually thin.

..though i wouldnt be surprised if they hadnt.
