| Today's quote from character Stan Smith at a SciFi convention |
Sometimes, I wonder what I would think if I ran across this blog as someone other than myself. Play along here, I know I may be hard to follow. Odds are, I would think 'why the heck does this girl think I care about what she has to say?'. Honestly, I don't expect anyone to care what I have to say. I don't expect most people who stumble across this blog to have done it on purpose. Mostly, this blog is for me, just to practice writing, because I believe it is important to make writing a habit. However, once in a while, I find myself hoping I can influence someone else's thoughts. Call it the rhetor in me. So, if you do actually find this blog interesting or entertaining, or just better than a poke in the eye, bless your heart. =)
I value other people's opinions. If by chance you are interested in my blog, first off, thank you, secondly, talk to me! Keep me busy! As I said before, I fully expect every view on this blog to be chance, but one day, I'd love for that to change.
Moving on!
School stuff: I am working on a project analyzing gender differences in disclosure on the Internet. I will be lurking, yes, lurking, on forums intended for teens and children, and looking to see which gender is more likely to say things like their names, ages, home countries, etc. I don't expect this to interest you. I love, and have always loved, forums. And my nerdiness about psychology and language make this the perfect project for me. So, if by chance, you are interested as well, I will share the results in the next couple of weeks. Assuming I don't get arrested as a suspect for pedophilia.
Entertainment: I am pretty excited about several movies coming out soon. The first one I'll talk about is The Raven. To me, it looks like it will kind of follow the recent Sherlock Holmes craze, so I'm betting if you liked that (plus a little more terror and a little less comedy), you will like The Raven. I have always loved Cusack, and I have loved Poe since, I don't even know... Forever, I guess. (I think it started with my Emo-ish phase in high school.) The combination of horror, mystery, and just plain macabre sounds perfect! Hopefully I'll be able to check it out when it is released and maybe even give a review. (I'll be a little short on cash, but for some reason that just makes me want to spend more than ever!)
If you want to see the preview, check it out below!
As much as I'd love to continue on and on about life, I'm afraid I should go. I have exams and projects this week and next. One more push until I get to my tiny two week break, then 6 tough weeks of class, then vacation! Wish me luck!!
Love,
Kayla and Lana (and hopefully soon a new foster, if my rescue friends will RESPOND TO MY FACEBOOK MESSAGES!!!)
