Chickety China the Chinese Chicken
So i just read that it is now legal to import chicken from China. Which whatever you think about that it is what it is BUT here is the super weird part. The chickens have be born and raised in the US or Canada and then can be shipped to China for processing and then shipped back. HOW CAN IT BE CHEAPER TO SHIP CHICKEN ACROSS THE PACIFIC AND BACK instead of just processing it here. If the whole process took place in china I could maybe see how it oculd be cheaper but really raised here and then shipped there defeathered and cut up and shipped back? NO WAY! It seems so crazy!

Also, the party is in two days and i still have no ideas for a costume. This makes me fear it is going to be another Troll like year, that was a terrible costume year, even I can admit that.....

....maybe seeing this will give me inspiration to kick my butt in gear...

Carrie Depression
Well I just watched Carrie (the original version) with (e:libertad) tonight. Well let me tell you , it is the most depressing movie ever. It isn't really scary and like I can see why people say it is good but really it was just depressing. Everyone was so mean to her. AND THEN JUST AS things seem to be going so well for her and she and Tommy are so happy at the prom , why did they have to pour the pigs blood. If Tommy was in on it maybe it would have been a little less depressing somehow, just all around meannes. But he was actually being nice and so was the teacher and then they just die too! Poor Carrie, poor tommy, poor overly glamorized gym teacher! It was frankly just so depressing. I was hoping this time it would have a different ending and just end with her and tommy and sue being great finds and living happily ever after but it did NOT HAPPEN!

Also, I did find the end a little hilarious where the girl who survived's mom says to her friend on the phone "she will be ok, her doctor said she is young enough that she will forget" . UMMM she was a senior in highsschool and all her friends were killed in terrible ways in front of her? LIke there willl be noone left of her age in her town and then their neighbors house burned down into hell? Oh yeah she will prolly forget that in no time!

It's back to disney channel and hallmark for me , at least there is usually something uplifting at the end in those movies!

P.S. I have been meaning to write about my10 year estrip anniversary, it is comning soon

You've Filled Out
So this old lady who like loooves me at RiteAid who I have not seen since I started at IHA almost 3 yeARS AGO came in tonight. SHe totally freaked out when she saw me and was so excited and it was sooo cute. It was seriously cute and amazing, like she was soo excited! BUT at first she didn't belive it was me and she later said it was because I have "filled out". That is not what a boy who turned 30 wants to hear! Anywho it was still amaze seeing her, it is moments like that that make me realize I can never leave RiteAid. I love my seniors and they love me right back.

Side note I just realized this past September was my 10 year elmwoodstrip.com anniversary and I didn't even celebrate! Gotta do something to celebrate!

Halloween
For some reason I just can't get into Halloween this year. I don't know what to be but I haven't even really thought about it much. I only have 4 days and seriously have no idea but haven't even been looking. i don't know why this year I just can't get as excited about it for some reason. Hopefully my creativity and care kicks in soon!

Remember - the less you wear, the easier it is to make a costume.

Sad Movie Emotional Cutter
So I don't know why but every so often I really like to just pull up really sad movie clips or tv show clips on youtube and watch them and just cry and cry. Dave said that basically I am an emotional cutter but instead of cutting myself I watch sad clips and cry. I don't know. I just feel like every once in a wihle you need a good crying time cleanse. Speaking of which here are some sad clips. I guess if you haven't seen the movies before they might not seem sad on their own but they give me a good cry.

I have never watched Oprah all that much, but it you're American and own a tevelvision, you sort of have to know at least something about her. I think what you're doing is what she calls having an ugly cry. I think it's a good, healthy release. Keeps you in touch with your emotions and maybe trains you to control them. Just my opinion.

i love this fucking movie! WABACHA!
tinypliny - 10/17/13 02:58
Hmm... I feel cheated. I guess our definitions of sad differ - even though I pretty much cry in buckets at certain clips.
