The Venus in Furs

I just recently watched Velvet Goldmine, a film by Todd Haynes. I really wasn't expecting anything going into it, but damn was I surprised.

I have to admit, before I say anything else, that there was so much wrong with the movie. It just wasn't made very well. But, there was too much right with it for me no to love it.

In short, David Bowie and Iggy Pop references, Oscar Wilde, Glam!, glitter, HOT HOT GORGEOUS cast, phenomenal wardrobe, spectacular makeup, and to top it all off- one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard.

The film makes me want to wear sparkly dresses, feather boas, neon platforms, and makes me want to sprinkle glitter on everything.

I really wish Brian Slade was a real artist. The few original songs in the movie are nothing short of brilliant. Jonathan Rhys-Meyers' voice was surprisingly amazing and refreshing.

I'm basically obsessed with it now, and have watched it 3 times in the past 5 days. On top of that, I've ordered the physical soundtrack even though I'm able to just download it, which I have done.

Oh, and Brian Slade, although a fictional character, is my new husband- Check That Juliet!

Can't Stop, Won't Stop

So, I've decided that I want to meet these people:

1. William Beckett- I've already met him, but I'd like to have a longer conversation with him.

2. The Butcher- Same as Bill

3. The Siska Brothers- Adam=same as Bill. But, jason seems awesome, I don't know.

4. John O'Callaghan- I've heard nothing but nice things, and he's beautiful.

5. Alex Suarez- Again, I've heard nothing but nice things, and he seems super awesome.

6. Christofer Drew- He's so cute! End of story.

7. Nathaniel Motte- I've met him numerous times, but I'd like to meet him again. (I'll be seeing him atleast twice within the next 6 months, hopefully more)

8. Kevin Smith- The man is a genius.

9. David Blaise- I don't even listen to This Providence, but he's too cute for words.

Eh, that's all I can think of for now.

5. Do a 9 page packet for history


6. Do 70 problems for math.


7. Plan a party- check.
   
8. Do 6 pages of Spanish -check.
9. Practive Test for AP Lang
10. Practice Test for APES

No, I'm not kidding- I really have to do all this. I should probably get to it.

To Sisky, From Santa: Awesome!

I cannot wait until Winter break. It's almost here. 11 days of school left, 4 of which are minimum days.

Twitter is awesome, I can officially say that I love it.

Erm, I really love cream soda, and I love to wear scarfs.

I also love the new TAI... song, Winter Passing, and you should buy it from iTunes if you haven't already.

This post really has no point, I just haven;t posted in a while and wanted to.
