house arrest

I won't leave the house because of the intense swelling in my face. It's quite funny actually. And weird. Because I'll look in the mirror, stare at this face, and know that that isn't me. That's not what I really look like. It's a strange feeling. Like how the daughter felt in Freaky Friday when she saw that she was her mom. But to a lesser extent. I like the original film.

Pretty much, I have been doing nothing productive. Mom and Dad don't want me to exert myself. So, I've been nerding out on the internet, watching dvds. Your basic couch potato stuff. Reading as well. Forgot to tell you about this...Some telemarketer called me asking when I'll be attending college, in the summer or the fall? I was so not in the mood, so I said, in a sad voice, "I won't be attending college." I hung up, told my brother what I did, and we were laughing so hard! I tried not to laugh so hard because it was hurting my face, but oh man, what a riot.

great soft foods:
1. soup (I've just discovered this love for soup. I mean, there are so many kinds! What a selection!)
2. ice cream (strawberry, of course)
3. smashed up bananas (haha, I'm such a baby)

dvds:
Gunslinger Girl (Episodes 1 through 5): This is awesome anime. Breathtaking. Cyborg girls trained to be assassins. Set in an unknown location in Italy, this story covers a number of girls and their relationships with their handlers (their trainer/boss) and each other. The soundtrack is incredible. The theme/introduction alone is what got me. Girls handling automatic rifles set to The Delgados's "The Light Before We Land". Cinematic beauty. Violins and other symphonic music set the mood for most of the episodes. Amazing. What a dream it would be to direct this into an actual film. I got dibs!
