monkey madness

Oy. I'm a complete monkey. lol. As in "monkey see, monkey do". I've always been kinda like that. I'll be reading something, and then I'll absorb the writing style. This can be a very bad thing. I've had some strange essays that were written whilst reading fanfiction. And sometimes I'll be reading something that was written by people online who use really bad grammar and all, and I don't even try to write after that. But lately this has been even more pervasive. I've begun to talk like the commentary on the Goonies DVD.

Yes, that's right. :D I now own The Goonies!! XD I've been watching it, like, nonstop! (btw, I am now an absolutely enormous Sean Astin fan. I love him!!! Mikey is like, the best thing ever.) I started watching the commentary as soon as possible. I watched an hour last night, and then another 20 minutes this morning, and finished it this afternoon (I got the DVD on wednesday, but I had to watch the movie itself first ;) And I noticed sometimes today, a lot of the time, and this afternoon after I finished watching, and then ::ahem:: watched the whole thing again directly after finished, I was comopletely talking, and thinking, like I was doing the commentary. It's extremely bizarre. O.o

But it gets better! See, the reason I only watched an hour of the commentary on Thursday was because I spent the time from 7:30 to 9:30 watching A Walk on the Moon (don't worry, I'd finished my homework!). I got it because it has Viggo Mortensen in it ^_^ lol. And I'd heard it was good. I wouldn't sit through a movie that sucked even if it did have Viggo in it. At first my mom wasn't going to let me get it because it was rated R (damn 6 months. . . I'm 17 this July) which was kind of annoying because I've watched R rated movies before, even with her! And the only movie that's ever scarred me is Tommy ::shivers:: (not kidding, I really did) which is not rated R. Anyway, it was a fantastic movie :D Viggo was sexy beyond words. It was weird because I'd seen all 4 of the main actors in different things. Viggo in LotR (no, really?), Anna Paquin in X-Men (I liked her hair in this movie, btw), Liev Shreiber it was kinda creepy cos I'd just seen him the week before in Kate and Leopold (which was very cute, and Hugh Jackman was dead sexy in it), and Diane Lane. . . wow. . . I saw her as a little kid in A Little Romance, which is an adorable movie. But that's really creepy. . . my mom took A Walk on the Moon out of the library on Wednesday, but she doesn't get home til after 9, so I had to wait til Thursday to watch it. Well, on Wednesday in French, the teacher brought up Diane Lane and A Little Romance! O_O I remembered the movie, but I didn't know that the girl was Diane Lane, and whne she said the name, I was like, "wait. . . she's in the Viggo movie I just got". It was weird. Cos then I was able to recognize her, it was really cool. She's very pretty.

Oh, right! Back on topic. Yes. :D Anyway, the people in the movie, well, not Viggo, but certainly Diane Lane, were talking with this Brooklyn/Long Island accent thing. I really should know the difference, seeing how I live on Long Island and have family in Brooklyn who have Brooklyn accents (I don't really have a Long Island accent though. Not that I know of. I mean, I didn't think David had an accent and then he went off to college and people are telling him he does, so I don't know.) but I don't. They were speaking with one of them. . . and I managed to pick it up! Which is extremely bizarre because I really can't do accents well at all. . . but I think I was pulling it off. XD

So eventually I was speaking like I was doing commentary for the Goonies with a strange accent. O.o

Anyway. Midterms are next week. This is obviously why I'm starting a little personal film festival. XD I'm also going into the city (that's Manhattan, btw) tomorrow for this college thing that Barnard is holding. My mom went there so we got invited.

I got back some physics grades. lol. 100, 66, 100, 76, 108. Nice variety there, right? I was particularly proud of the 108 (no shit! lol.) because it was on a problem set, which is when we get about. . . 10-15 problems to do for homework over about a week, and this was the first one, and they're quite difficult, and I only got 2 points off for missing an equation! I was very impressed ^_^ (and I got 10 bonus points) And the 66 and 76 aren't actually as bad as they seem because I think the class average on those tests was around a 50. And of course, the 2 100s make me feel better ;) Plus, she is curving them, we just don't know what the curve is.

I have to get a 56 on my math midterm to get a 90 for the semester. I think I can handle it ;)
