Birthday Eve Study Hours

Tonight has been an adventure.
I arrived approximately two minutes and fourteen seconds late to my first chapter formal meeting and ended up sitting awkwardly too close to the french doors that lead into the White Room for the duration of the meeting in which my foot fell asleep. After the meeting Vik and I promptly gave our apologies to the president for looking like typical new members (new actives? Yay for initiation!) in front of the Field Consultant who is in town for the weekend. We then darted to the nearest first floor bathroom, ripped off our dresses and stupid heels (which are NOT made for sprinting down Clinton street, let me tell ya) and exchanged them for frumpy shirts and yoga pants and skidaddled down to Currier to begin our study hours for the week.

Now, being the princess that I am, I dropped my calc class a week or so ago simply because I didn't have to take it, and didn't want to. I instead picked up a one semester hour bearing online course on how to manage money (it didn't help). As a result of my whining and course-dropping, I am now only enrolled in 3 actual classes...Needless to say I rarely have homework. So as my lovely sisters are slaving away over their laptops, I am whining about how my MacBook Pro only has 3 battery dots when I push the little side button and stole Vik's charger so my dear computer wouldn't die as I surf through Stumble Upon.

Stumble Upon. Mother Fucking Stumble Upon. I cannot stress enough how disappointed I am in you. Firstly, I log on to my first stumble being a painting of a pig with goggles parachuting (tha fuck?), should've known it would be rough right from that moment. But of course I'm BaF (bored as fuck) and kept on stumblin' like it was a Friday night at Summit. 

So eventually I come across a page that seems worth my time! It was a page from www.lifed.com entitled Top 100: Best Movies (of All-Time) (OF ALL TIME hashtagKanyeRefenceee! el oh el). I was like aright aright sounds legit. So I started checkin' it out. 
The first thing that was obviously wrong was that the Lion King was ranked like #97 or some shit. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! THE LION KING?! That EASILY should've cracked the top 10, dubya tee eff. Seriously, look me in the eye and tell me Hakuna Matata isn't the catchiest god damn song you've ever heard on a disney channel movie? Are you really going to challenge Hakuna Matata with like Mulan tunes or some shit? Fuck no you're not. But whatevs, i kept searching...

...And noticed a fucking lot of pixar movies.. like Ratatouille, Wall-E... Sorry but those movies have NOT been out long enough to get praised enough to beat the Lion King. Even if you like them like the same, maybe (which you SHOULDN'T because TLK kicks ASS) seniority rules and TLK wins. Still, kept on truckin'. 

#13: Citizen Kane. CITIZEN FUCKING KANE. I have hated this movie ever since the days of Grant Mastain and his laser pointer in my Jr. year Mass Media Class. And thank you to Alex Mastain for referring us all to a certain youtube clip from family guy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILSbYH9pvjQ). Alex (aka Val) has one purpose in this world, and that was getting me that extra credit for showing that clip. I don't care that everyone thinks that movie is a classic or whatever. I am NOT a fan. Sorry bout it.

At this point, I figured that I was almost done anyway so I might as well continue. The next twelve entries came and went as inaccurately ranked as the previous ones. And then I realized something... Titanic was not at all in the top 100. Ok, so you fucked over the best Disney movie ever made, are probably getting paid under the table by some pixar shareholder, and are on the bandwagon for thinking Citizen Kane is more than a waste of two hours of your life... BUT NOT RANKING THE TITANIC? Absolute blasphemy. I cannot believe it. Titanic! Ok sooo yeah, the icebergs and the ocean water are just as cold and fake looking as a certain WBHS senior cheerleader, but you CANNOT tell me that you're not crying by the end of that movie, whether it be from the story or Leo's pure beauty.

But ya know what? I'm not gonna let it get me down. Because tomorrow is my fuckin birthday! I don't have Chem Lab (ALWAYS a plus!), don't have to work, and am going out to dinner with some really fun people (and probably receiving some extremely mortifying gifts from said people). I'm gonna wake up feeling EVEN BETTER than P. Diddy, because not only is it my birthday, but I will be 18 years of age! Finally legal! I can go buy porn and cigarettes and go to the hookah bar and strip club! But ya know what, I think instead of all that, I'm gonna go rent Titanic from ROAR. Eff www.lifed.com.

Over and Out!
