Brokeback Mountain


Since everyone else seems to be doing a piece on this new movie, I guess I will, too. Ahem...

This movie, as many of you may already know, is a love story between two men--a ranch hand and an aspiring rodeo cowboy. While shepherding together during one summer in the 1960s, they inconveniently fall in love. For much of the beginning, it is set on the breathtaking Brokeback Mountain. With hot love session in tents, and intense make-out scenes, it's enough to make a girl sweat in her seat.
To my surprise, this movie spans over the summer of their love. After they part ways, it goes on to show their lives without each other. There's marriage, bills, sex, wives, and children. Four years later, they meet again. From there, the movie travels through their entire life, milestoned by their brief meets together under the lie of 'fishing with an old friend'.
All in all, this was an amazing story of forbidden love. I cried like a baby through more than half the movie. If you haven't seen it yet, run to your nearest theater. This movie is worth the trouble of leaving the computer to a trip to the...gasp...outside world.

I've found my blog. Rejoice!

After losing my username for god knows how long, I've finally found my blog again. :)
I've been dodging school for two days now. I'll have to go back to it tomorrow, and I don't want to think about how much work I've missed. My teachers never really liked me because I always miss school. Now, I need to get a teacher recommendation from one of them for a summer course I want to take. I'm not sure which one I should ask. Plus, I've just missed two consecutive days of school. They can't be feeling all that warm to me.

On a happier note, it's going to be my birthday in three days. My friend is planning some secret thing for me on Friday. I can't imagine what it might be.

I've also got a story I have to finish for a competition by Friday. I can't imagine how I'm going to manage. I'll try to write a little this evening.
