It's been a while since my last post, so I've got lots to tell. In no particular order:
I've had a job offer teaching English in one of the local private Universities, which is great because :
...according to me, I'll finally have some spending money, mind you, it's all probably going to go on baby toys...
...according to my dad, I can start a credit history, so I can have a gazillion credit cards like he does...
...according to my mom, well, she hopes I'll meet some rich businessman, teach him English, and conquer the market at his side. Sorry Mom, I'll be teaching 9 year olds...
I've also made a new friend at uni, his name is Antonio,who's quite the gothic knight, and he lives a couple of blocks from me, which is nice because most all my other friends live at least half an hour away. I'm going to dump all my lovely dark literature on him (Poppy Z. Brite anyone?) and he's going to teach me how to play chess...properly, not like I usually do, thinking about my next move for half an hour, chewing it over, and then deciding "What the hell, I'll do something reckless." We got chatting about why I wanted to be a psychologist and I got to the pretty disturbing conclusion that, despite whatever satisfaction I might derive from helping people, my main motivation is rummaging inside their brains. I'm a psychic voyeour if you will.
I've been feeling quite the pensive little girl today too, and figured out that relationships are like jackets. You get cold so you put one on, which then in turn makes you too hot so you take it off only to get cold again. Yes, I know, I won't quit my day job to become a poet.
It's been film and trailer week, so here are my reviews. Take into account the facts that I live in a fantasy bubble and I think Keanu Reeves is cute, although give me some credit, I know he can't act.
"Underworld", ahhh a wet dream for a Vampire the Masquerade rpger like myself (nevermind the legal battles,*cough cough*). Basically the Matrix but with vampires and werewolves. And Kate Beckingsdale is just gorgeous, she carries off the rubber goth look marvelously. I wouldn't recommend it for everyone, but if it sounds good so far you probably should go watch it. And, fortunately for me, because I can't get enough of these sort of films, there's a sequel coming up, Underworld: Evolution.
Ack my bed is calling, so I'm going to have to owe you the other reviews for next time. I know, I'm such a terrible tease...

keanu reeves? eeww! I have some keanu reeve sphobia..not one of his films do I actually like!
BG, Antonio, and I are both already wearing coats, but thanks for the well wishing. As for the job thing, not where I´m at, but there´s plenty of language schools that would probably love to have a native speaker in their ranks.
MP, that´s okay honey, I wasn´t going to lend him to you anyways. But you must like Bill and Ted´s "something somethin" Adventure!?
