Paranormal Activity 2 Movie Review

(3 1/2 /5)
*Thump* *Thump* *THUMP* .... *BOOM!*

When we hear that sound we all know what that means. Somebody's playing leap frog upstairs again...

No, but really.  Everyone knows that those are the sounds of the demon's next target. 

Let me just say that I never saw the first one.  To be honest, I heard way to many bad things coming from people who had seen it that I was like "no way in hell." So I skipped out. However, this time around, due to special circumstances, I went with a group of friends.

Visual Effects: were pretty good.  I mean, for slamming doors and invisible forces go.  Let's just say it doesn't look too fake.

Plot: Uh, see this a problem for me since I really didn't see PA1.  Though, I did read the plot summary on Wikipedia so its helpful.  Without giving to much away here is an outline of PA2: "After experiencing what they think are a series of "break-ins", a family sets up security cameras around their home, only to realize that the events unfolding before them are more sinister than they seem. " ~IMDb  It's really slow in the beginning; they'd hype you up for something big and then nothing would happen.  So that got really annoying.  There's a few surprises and a lot more is explained like: where Katie is and why she became possessed.
Also, the trailers are kinda misleading.  Many of the scenes they show in the trailers are not in the actual movie.

Characters: I think they did fine.  They really didn't have any lines to follow anyways, since it's usually improvised.  They did a swell job.  Very realistic and believable.

Do I recommend this movie? Hm, not for those who are easily scared--and you know who you are.  I'd say sure, as long as your going with friends.  I found it a lot more fun when I had my buddies to joke around with; it made the mood a lot lighter.  (Though, some people couldn't shut up, so I missed some of the movie because of it.  *cough*Lauren*cough*)
It was a good scary movie.  I was shaking a bit afterwards, and every tiny noise would set off my nerves.  What made it so scary was that it felt like it could happen.  Unlike zombie and creepy creature movies, you know those aren't really and so it makes it less believable.  But the way the movie was like a home video type of thing and all the stuff where you could exactly see the demon was just freaky. 

So yeah, go enjoy yourself.  I'm thinking about drawing a parody and putting it up on DA. What do you think?

Anyways. If you're looking for spoilers, here's a link of me and Hannah talking about it on my journal page.  LINK

DeviantArt

I finally made the time to make an account. I named myself: HumbledByKindness! Perfect, right?

Anyways, I'm back in the groove now.  I'm going to start doing more art and writing.  This DeviantArt is really addicting.  Geez.  So much to learn...

I was going to post a picture of my leave design, but Blogger disabled image uploads so I'll try to post it tomorrow.

I want to make a special thanks to Heather, who is making me an avatar for my DA account. Thanks, pal. :)

-------------

Some things I want to add, is my first picture which I think I posted: the mountain tops.

What do you think?

To Lauren

One day, I was sitting at my computer writing a new post and I thought about how my day went.  I remember how I had so much fun with my friends that evening.  I also remembered how luckyl I was to have such a great BFF, Lauren, who always backs me up and understands my views and thoughts.  I may tease her way more than I do with others (besides Hannah, haha, I tease her a lot!) but to be honest Lauren is my bestest buddy and I don't think would have been the person I am today if we hadn't be such close friends. This post is dedicated for you, Lauren!

I think in this world,
I'd be a very lonely and reclusive person.
I'd walk in silence,
and never look someone directly in the eye just because I was intimidated.
I wouldn't have the confidence and somewhat outgoing personality if I didn't have someone to encourage me to break my shell.

I don't know where it started.
Was in an instant bond?
I like to think so.
March buddy, you're the best friend anyone could have!
I know that sounds cliche, but it's totally true.
I really can't imagine myself having such fun and so many great memories.

I want you to know that you are not "fat".
I can't understand why you keep thinking like that.
You're so pretty!
And don't you dare say your dumb either.
And talk about talented.
You have everything everyone envies...

So this is a thank you.
There are many words to describe
how grateful I am to have a funtastic person to call my best friend.
If I had one, I'd wear a button saying "hey guess what? My BFF is Lauren! So take that, punk!"
So,
Thank you!
Thank for being you!
For confiding in me and I to you.
Thanks for all the help you gave me.
Thanks for the snacks you bought us today!
I consider you a sister.
I love ya, March buddy!

Live strong...

Miley Cyrus: Who Owns My Heart Music Video Controversy


If you haven't seen the video yet, take a look on YouTube. LINK

*NOTE: I didn't have time to edit. So pardon any grammar/spelling errors!*
Lovely, isn't it?

I mean, let's compare her to Taylor Momsen.

Taylor Momsen (17)
-good girl gone bad
-formed her own band
-auditioned for the role Hannah Montana
-is a series regular on Gossip Girl
-is the face of Madonna's new fashion line "Material Girl"
Miley Cyrus (17)
-good girl who can't seem to get bad right
-best know for her role on Hannah Montana
-has a mild heart condition called tachycardia
-daughter of country singer/actor Billy Ray Cyrus
-step-sister of Trace Cyrus (Metro Station)
-dated celebrities: Nick Jonas & Justin Gaston
MC's Controversies
-December 2007: Sharing of licorice w/ friend on MySpace
-April 2008: Underwear and swimsuit pic. leaked after hacked
-April 2008: when @ 15, posed for topless photoshoot for Vanity Fair (wrapped in bedsheet)
-2009 TCA: "Party in the USA" pole dance w/ provocative clothing
-Dating Gaston: 5 years her senior
-Photo displaying her and friends making "slanted-eyes" (supposedly making fun of Asians)
-Youtube: Miley & Mandy show parody of Demi and Selina show

TM's Controversies
-provocative attair
-"bad girl" attitude
-smoking
-heavy eyeliner
-language

That's really all I could come up with. I used Wiki., but there wasn't any "controversies" list for TM. Soo I made up my own for hear say and observation.
Also, Miley as apologized for most of these accusations.
I want to point something out here. MC signed with Disney. And anyone who knows Disney, they are very strict with what their signed actors/singers do, go, and say, because of their young viewer audience. It's pretty well known that if you're part of Disney then you have to keep a pretty good rap sheet, even if the contract is up or not. TM was never signed up with Disney giving her the 'freedom' to be a 'teenager'. She isn't as harshly criticized as say Selina Golmez if she like would strip in public (SG has never done that btw! Don't start a rumor! I'm only making a point.) Even if TM's actions and words aren't a very good influence, there really aren't 6 year olds watching her ever step.
Okay to the point. Miley really is taking a plung. I mean, I'm pretty sure her show is done now and basically her contract with Disney is up, but that leaves millions of fans still idolizing her and follow her on Youtube and the Facebook. I just think that she should think about those little fans who have looked up to her since the beginning and are now seeing her in this Gaga/ke$ha get-up and wonder if that's how they should be like when they're a teenager.
Oh, and also, the lyrics suck. So unoriginal. :P

2010 Homecoming 101: The Look

Well, as promised I'm going to give you a 101 of do and don't for looking great at this year's homecoming. 
*NOTE: This mostly for girls, but I'll throw in some guy stuff too.  ;)*

For the girls!

DO's
  • think formal.  Just don't go with something that looks casual, like a sun dress.  I suggest dresses with embellishment or lace are good.  Long or short, doesn't matter too much.  Though, keep in mind: we want to look beautiful not *ahem* "cheap".
  • wear primer with your makeup and finishing powder.  It'll last longer.
  • bring oil sheets or matte powder.  You're going to sweaty!
  • keep make up simple! No bright blue eyeshadow! Keep it natural. :)
  • make sure the dress fits snuggly but not skin tight.  Girls, I can't say it enough. It's painful to see you buy a dress that is a size small just to look "skinny".  I'm telling you right now, if a guy saw you in a skin tight dress he'd more than likely to say "ew, that looks terrible" than "Wow, she looks stunning."
    • Sorry, the truth hurts, and you should know better. Remember to love your body! Don't resist it.
  • change up your hairstyle.  I think the wavy half up do is a lovely look for this year.  If you're looking for a change here is a look: LINK 
    • If you have curly hair change it to straight. Straight hair? Change it to curly.  This is the time to look amazing and show what wonderful qualities you can show.
  • pick comfortable shoes. Don't torture yourself all night, keep the heel at a comfortable height. Make sure you practice walking in them!
DON'T
  • Don't go overboard. With anything.  Some girls can pull off the prints.  Others can't.  Some can do the strapless like they just walked off the runway, others ... can't.  REMEMBER: if you have bold shoulders that look like this:
(straight, even shoulders that are broad) then you can totally pull of this look. However, those who slouch or have tiny shoulders CAN NOT make this look work.  Also the jewelry.  Again, keep it simple.  Limit the amount of jewelry you where (1 bracelet, 1 ring, 1 necklace).  This gives you a more elegant look.

For the guys!

DO's
  • match your date's clothes.
  • wear a tye. ( I know you hate it, but suck it up. It's only for a couple of hours.)
    • Well I guess you can do this: (*sigh* just remember to wear a blazer and you'll be good. :/ )
    • Also, I suggest black, not gray like this guy.
DON'Ts
  • wear a bunch of cologne.  Please? Just take a shower okay? And if you do where cologne, keep in minimal.

Well, that's all I got. I hope that was helpful. Formspring me if you have questions!

Protesting

I don't understand humans anymore. Where are our manners? Do we just do whatever the hell we want and think "Well, I won't get called on for that so it all gooood!"? Who gave you special authority to go protest at a soldier's funeral and say things like "God hates you" and "Thank God for dead soldiers" all to make a point that the deaths of U.S. soldiers is God's punishment for "the sin of homosexuality" and abortion? (By the way, the soldier wasn't even gay.)

You know, I don't give an f-ing crap about "Oh, but I was on the sidewalk which is public ground, so it was okay for me to protest there." HEY, that doesn't justify you singing at the top of your lungs "God Hates America" while a mourning family is trying to have a funeral for their son who died for his country!

SHAME! Shame on all you.  You make me ashamed to be a human being.  You can never justify your actions.  I don't give a rat's ass if you say its freedom of speech.  You are abusing your right as an American citizen to act out at an inappropriate time to make a damn statement.  You're sick. Just sick.  And do you think you're getting any respect for doing this? Wake up call! To everyone sane and morally-just in the world look at you and say "Wow, how sad.  Look at how insane and rude these people are."  I don't hear any respect coming out of that statement...

Well, that's it.  I saw it on the news today and It really made me made.  I'm all up for speaking out for what you believe in, but thre is a time and place and that was not it.

I don't understand what has become of us...

I soo sick of it's misbehavior.  I can't send messages without getting aggravated that its not: (a) sending the message, (b) type my message out right w/o having periods between eac. word, (c) not tell me it didn't send the message making my friend on the other end think I'm mad at them. It's infuriating! q(-.-)p (Thumbs down)

Admittedly, this was suppose to be posted yesterday however, due to overly drowsiness I didn't feel like going the extra mile.  These have to be my favorite chips on the planet.  They taste so yummy!
