Brad Pitt

sorry for being such an irregular blogger...on a side note: doesn't that sound like some medical disease? Some people have irregular bladders and I'm an irregular blogger. *cough* sorry, getting back to it now...


AHH HECTOR JUST DIED!


Sorry, I'm watching Troy just now and if you haven't seen it...then I may have potentially just ruined it for you. Whoops!

Anyway, I don't quite know why I'm blogging, considering that the few people who DO read my blog are currently swamped with finals and all, but oh well. I had a sudden urge to write something.

Watching Troy made me realise something: Brad Pitt is actually a very good actor. He's a prime example of how being TOO good looking can actually hurt you rather than help you. Seriously! Before, every time I watched one of his movies, I would never focus on the acting/plot because I was too busy looking at his face (which is odd, considering I'm usually not attracted to blond guys, but there's just something about Brad!)

Troy is probably the first time I actually focused on his acting; mainly because that hair of his looked disgusting and pretty much FORCED me to concentrate on the movie. And you know, I actually quite liked Troy. It's interesting, has a good looking cast and is just generally pretty good. I liked the dialogues too.

Aww, Hector's dad is so sadly sweet. I want to hug him. Then again, I want to hug everyone. Never mind.

Also, I thought I'd share: there's less than a month till I go back to Pakistan! YAY!

I'm pretty excited about the trip, and my excitement will exponentially increase if the threat of the Taliban taking over Pakistan lessens. Because really, those guys don't look like a lot of fun.

:]

Anyway, I'm going to cut this short right here. The movie's getting good. See you guys soooon! :)

My name is Myra...and I'm a shopaholic

Okay, so my spending habits are ridiculous. Seriously. I buy wayyy too much. In fact, I just bought the cutest little top yesterday (it makes me look like a waitress at a cowboy bar, since it's blue and white and checked, but it's oh so cute!) even though I'm pretty much broke and shouldn't be buying anything...

See? Cute!

but omg it is SO hard to resist! I mean, there is temptation EVERYWHERE here. It's so freaking irritating! I mean, here you are, in this tough economic time, trying to practice some self control and resist the urge to buy something when you pass by H&M and see that the top you've been lusting after for the past 3445984375 years has now been reduced to half price. How am I supposed to control myself then, HUH? God, self control is harder than it looks.

I think another contributing factor to my lack of self control is the fact that I walk through a mall EVERYDAY after school because that's where I get picked up from, but still! STUPID FREAKING NICE SHOPS AND SALES! GAH!!!





I need help. I really think that shopaholic movie was based on me, except in the end, she got all her debt cleared out AND got the hot British guy. I doubt the same will happen for me, considering I do not know of any British boys. Oh well.

Avoiding Wrathful Friends

I'm not going to lie, I don't think I would've posted this weekend had it not been for Aziza's wild threats that I would 'hear from her' if there was nothing new here.

So here's the real reason why I didn't post for SO long [besides the fact that I was busy trying fruitlessly to have a life], it was because I really had nothing to write about...well, nothing I'd want to write about HERE anyway. But then I heard something really, really, really stupid on the radio and I HAVE to share my thoughts on it.


the song Love Story by Taylor Swift [here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHxXaY7NR3w]

the first time I heard it, I was like, 'oh whatever, she's just another Disney girl'. Technically she isn't, but she DID date Joe Jonas, who dumped her in a 25 second phone call.

I know way too much celebrity gossip, but that's not the point


the second time I heard it, I actually listened to the lyrics...and I'm sorry, but this girl is an IDIOT! I don't think she's READ half the literature she's referencing to, and then she decided that she somehow got the authority to change the lyrics around to suit her.

Wait, let me put them up to prove my point:

Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter

^ technically, there's nothing wrong with the above sentence, but I just thought it was really funny that she was basically referring to herself as adulteress, because the scarlet letter was something they made women wear on their dresses so they could tell everyone they committed adultery and you know, decided to sleep with somebody else's husband

and this from a Disney girl. Tsk, tsk

this is the part though, that REALLY pisses me off:

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said,"Marry me, Juliet. you'll never have to be alone.
I love you and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress;
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'

look, I get it. She was trying to be cute and romantic, but uh, I don't know if anyone ever told this chick that in the end, ROMEO AND JULIET KILL THEMSELVES. Well, Romeo first because he's a bit of an idiot and never bothered poking Juliet or something to make sure she's really alive [I'd also like to point out another important lesson Shakespeare teaches us: ALWAYS POKE SOMEONE YOU THINK IS DEAD BEFORE YOU KILL YOURSELF OVER THEM. ALWAYS. Back to the story].

But yeah, my point is, if you're going to compare yourself to a great romantic couple or whatever, choose someone WHO DIDN'T KILL THEMSELVES. And please don't go around changing the ending of the story to suit your life. Seriously. Do us all a favor on that one.


EDIT: Aziza and I just discovered that she also wrote about Romeo and his stupidity EXACTLY A YEAR AGO. Apparently, it seems as if we're Shakespeare's Chosen Ones to propogate the stupidity of Romeo's plight. God, I hate weird creepy fictional characters.

EDIT 2: Did you know that apparently, April 26th is the actual, estimated death of Shakespeare? Aziza just shared this factoid with me, and now I am doubly creeped out by this weird coincedence :/

Standardized Testing...REALLY?!

I realize that I'm pretty erratic with my posting, but school actually started giving me homework this week. It's pretty annoying. In fact, I have to leave in a bit to film a project for English. Said project also required us (the group) to hop two fences last night since the place we were filming decided to close their gates and we needed to leave since it was so cold. It was very Prison Break-esque. I'm sure Michael Scofield would've been proud of us.

Anyway, so I have to register for my SAT soon. In fact, in 4 days. Can you FEEL the excitement?


If you said yes...are you sure you know me?


I just think it's a bit frustrating that everything lies on ONE test when it comes to proving your intelligence, because there are so many other ways to illustrate it (I'm trying to not use the word 'show' anymore, it's kind of hard). It just kind of sucks that this is the deciding factor for colleges on whether or not to accept me because I know I'll do fine in the English part, but the Math? Not so much.

I'm sorry this post is so emo, but I've been kind of stressed out over this for the past couple days.

LET'S TALK ABOUT NICER STUFF!

(no idea why that was in capitals, but you get the point)

I noticed something VERY strange about my clothes: they've gotten smaller, YET I HAVE NOT GROWN! It's very strange! Shirts that were LONG are somehow becoming short when I wear them. It's really quite annoying because I've had to get rid of a lot of my wardrobe and so now I have like, nothing to wear and I'm too broke/cheap to buy anything. This sucks.

I really quite miss Sunday Bazaar now.


(this post was truly useless)

ugh

Since you all know my addiction to celebrity gossip, I thought I'd share the news that made really mad over the past few days:


RIHANNA AND CHRIS BROWN GOT BACK TOGETHER!!!


The werewolf and the human reunited! WTF?! Why would you take back someone who BIT YOU and pretty much tried to ruin your face? I really don't understand this. What is this telling all the little girls over the world who look up to Rihanna? (I'm sure that number's decreased though since the arrival of Miley Cyrus, but whatever) I really wish Rihanna would come out and say something because I'm really quite curious to know why she took him back. Especially after seeing those stupid jet skiing pictures of him with his fugly tattoos (below):

(I got that from pinkisthenewblog.com. I thought the speech bubble was a cute touch)

(I'm blogging instead of watching America's Next Top Model reruns, you guys should feel so special right now)



I like Apple because well, they have pretty cool gadgets and you know...cool stuff. But I've been noticing something on my iPod for the last couple of days, and it's really started to bug me.


So I don't know about all of you guys, but I like playing the games on my iPod, because one of them is really quite addictive: Solitaire.

Side note: Apple renamed it to Klondike on their new iPods, which I really don't understand why because it sounds nothing like Solitaire. I thought it was some alien invasion game and got kind of disappointed when I realized what it really was. Anyway, not the point here.

Back to what I was saying...the Solitaire on my iPod is HARD dude! I've played like 70 games and only won TWENTY!!!!! And you know what I REALLY hate? Whenever I DO win (which is extremely rare) and all the cards go up to their slots, the kings shake hands or start making funny faces and I really don't understand why they shake hands because it's not like THEY did anything. I'm the one doing all the work so technically, they should be shaking MY hand (although if they did, I'm sure I'd be just as creeped out, if not more).


The fact that they're all supposed to be dead makes their funny-face-making even more creepy to me. They don't even look cute! Jeez.

So what have learnt today boys and girls (besides the fact that iPod's design team can't make a nice looking game for their life)? It's never ever okay for someone to go Chris Brown on you. and if someone does, DO NOT REUNITE WITH THEM!!! Seriously. It's just not worth it.

I can't think of anything!

Okay, so first of, let me apologize for not updating in like, ever but you know, seeing JOHN KERRY kind of takes things out of you...


You know what's sad? I was so excited about seeing him, but NO ONE knows who he is, which kind of diminishes the coolness of seeing him. So for all of you who don't know, he's the senator who lost against Bush in the last election.

so you know, now that I'm writing this, I realized that I actually have a lot of stuff that I wanted to write about so let's start:


1) Chris Brown Beating Up Rihanna

WHAT THE HELL?!!?!?!!? I'm still in shock over this news. You know, he always looked like such a NICE boy, all shareef and whatnot. I think I would've been less surprised if it had been Rihanna beating HIM up.

Although, I do have a theory on this: apparently she had 'bite marks' which makes me think that maybe Chris Brown is secretly a werewolf and it was the full moon. Rihanna just happened to be sitting next to him when he morphed.

Or maybe he's just stupid and hits girls.

I really like the werewolf theory more though.

2) My Addiction to YouTube

Okay, so you know how I'm always either really behind on things or really ahead? Well, I just discovered YouTube officially. Now all I do is search up funny YouTube videos to watch so if you guys have any recommendations, please let me know.

3) The Snuggie.

In case you don't know what the Snuggie is, here, first watch this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xZp-GLMMJ0

is that not the most stupid, pointless thing you've ever seen? Yeah, I thought so. And the weird part is, PEOPLE ACTUALLY BUY THIS.

get a bigger blanket people. It's better than looking like you just joined some weird cult.

watch this as well and laugh: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h05ZQ7WHw8Y&feature=related

4) The Books I've Been Reading:

I know a lot of you probably don't care about this portion, but that's all good. I finished Shantaram a while ago and it was AMAZING. This guy was arrested for armed robbery in Australia (while HIGH) and then escaped jail and ran to India, where he lived in the slums and established a free clinic. Oh, and in between all that, acted in Bollywood movies and joined the mafia.

In some parts of the book, I was really tempted to say that some of it just HAD to be fabricated but apparently, it's all real. If you can brave almost a 1000 pages, this book is a must read.

also, I read this other book and it's like Gossip Girl in the 19th century! It was best! :D there were a lot more ball gowns and a lot less technology of course.



so I think that's pretty much it for today. I'll post more later if I feel like it.

we're all closet lesbians

Lol, so I think I'm going to dedicate this post to Aziza, just because of her devotion to my blog...and also, I hope you get well soon!

ANYWAY, so I've had a bit of an epiphany in the last few days, in no small part thanks to all those bumper stickers Selena keeps sending me...and on that note, THEY ARE SO ADDICTIVE! All I do is just bumper sticker search all the day...

I'm sorry but these days my attention span is worse than a goldfish so you're going to deal with my erratic topic jumping throughout the post. Ahem, anyway

so like I said, I've noticed quite a few bumper stickers relating to Twilight...actually, scratch that, EVERY other sticker is related in some to Twilight, but some of them particularly catch my attention, like, "every time I see a shiny silver Volvo, I hope it's Edward in there" or 'Every time I hear the name Edward, I turn and say "WHERE?!"'

okay people, SERIOUSLY? Let me remind you guys of something...Edward is FICTIONAL. I know he's pretty and lovely and all that, BUT HE DOESN'T FREAKING EXIST. If you're imagining FICTIONAL CHARACTERS everywhere you go, I think that's a sign you need mental help

actually you know, I was like you guys at one point. Edward is the best character in the novel, and if not for him, the book would totally suck. And I used to think that Edward would have totally gone for me if not were that man *cough* I mean Bella...

but then that stupid epiphany kicked in, and totally ruined all my nice fantasies. You know how Edward has all those sweet dialogues and you kinda just want to hug him? (what is my obsession with hugging people? My God, I really do need therapy), well, just remember:

A WOMAN WROTE IT.

and so if you really stop and think about it, we're all in love with a woman. Stephenie Meyer to be exact, because you know all those nice things that make you wish Edward totally existed? Yeah, she came up with them.

so if you think about it, more than half of the female teenage population right now are lesbians.


I thought you guys would appreciate that little factoid


oh, and Hashim is awesome. Kthnxbye.

[I'm sorry, he asked me to plug that in]

and Edward is not a "son of a werewolf". Hmmph.
