SCARY MOVIES

I've always been kind of an easily frightened, squeamish sort of person. I never liked scary movies and to be honest I still don't. Or rather, I don't like things that will make me jump - sudden movements or loud noises, etc... So I thought I'd put together a list of "horror" movies that I don't mind watching - for those more faint of heart like me. Some people have told me that these don't count as "scary movies" - but others I know disagree. So here we go.

1. The Mummy
2. Sleepy Hollow
3. Sweeney Todd

SPRING BREAK

One more day of school before Spring Break officially begins. I have no idea if I can actually make it through another ENTIRE day of school, this is going to drive me mad. I'm quite sure that once I've hit fifth period, I'm going to be ready to go home. I wish I could at least skimp out on Algebra, or something like that. It's the last class of the day, AND my least favorite, AND spring break is so close I could touch it - I would go through all six classes to start with, without complaint, if I could just miss Algebra and go HOME!

It's 7:35 AM and I'm starving, so I'm going to hop off now and head for McDonalds with my mom.

THE TITANIC SUNK TODAY

April 14th, 1912. That would be the date that the Titanic hit the iceburg that sunk it. Lives were lost that day, and I'm posting this in remembrance of those lives.

I've had a bit of a fascination with the Titanic since I was little; I've never seen the movie (gasp! I know, what kind of person am I?), but when I was younger my godfather took my brother and I to a traveling exhibit that was set up in our city that was all about the Titanic. They gave you a ticket with the information of a person who was REALLY on the Titanic, and they even had a giant ice block that was supposedly the same temperature as the water would have been when the Titanic crashed. It was by far one of the coolest experiences of my life - I'm just sad that one of my best experiences had to be fueled by the misfortune of others.
