After my dad signed up to Facebook, I decided it was about time I did as well. Here I am, add me if your on there: [link]

9 is the new animated movie by Tim Burton. And it's good. Really good. Just got back from seeing it; I'll confess, the only reason at all me and my friends wanted to see it was because of Coheed and Cambria's Welcome Home being used for the trailer. That being said, it was a great movie, so go and see it. It's not a kid's movie if your thinking it, although I'm sure kid's would find it entertaining since the (very good) action almost never stops throughout the whole movie.
Maybe I'll write more about this later.

Well, I mentioned in my previous journal how I was back from Colorado (which I never actually mentioned I was going to in the first place) and how I would write all about it when I was less tired. That was five days ago. What to say... It was fun? The problem with me is, I really like the idea of blogging and writing out long rants on subjects that interest me, and when I'm driving or at work or doing something banal I often write out long such rants in my head. I have enough of them to fill a blog (if i had one) with dozens and dozens of posts, but when time comes to actually sit down and write one... meh. I don't want to. So I'm not really going to say much about Colorado. Maybe I'll say some more when I get the pictures back from my dad, I can post some of those and let you see for yourselves. So, here's the cliff notes version:
* Mountains. Being from Texas, I'd never really seen mountains before. They were amazing, and I found them to be quite awesome. Also, nice and cool compared to Texas summer 100 degree weather. I actually brought a hoodie and even had some chances to wear it.
*Pike's Peak. [link]fficial&hl=en&source=hp&qike%27s%20Peak&gbv=2&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=il&start=0 This place. Took about an hour to reach the summit by train (my dad wasn't crazy enough to drive up there- at least not with my mom in the car). View from the top was flat out amazing, and well worth the trip to Colorado by itself. You can actually see Kansas from the peak.
*Royal Gorge Bridge. [link]fficial&hl=en&source=hp&qike%27s%20Peak&gbv=2&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=il&start=0 Another really cool place. I was too wimpy to ride the gondola over the five thousand foot drop but I did walk across the bridge. Which was made of wood. And had about two hundred motorcycles driving across it.
*Eight Mile Road- Haha, eight mile, right. What we thought was a scenic shortcut through the mountains turned out to be anything but. On the last day in Colorado, we decided to drive out to Canon City to see the Royal Gorge mentioned above. All in all, getting there and back should have taken two and a half or three hours at the most. As it happened, we spent nearly two hours just getting through those eight miles in the mountains. During which we saw about ten other cars. Often driving straight at us from around a hairpin turn on our one lane road. With a hundred foot drop a few feet to our right. Still, it was pretty fun once my mom stopped freaking out, probably one of the best parts of the trip.

Well, that was fun, maybe I'll get around to writing a little cliff notes version of the other twenty or so topics I've been meaning to write about in the past month or so...

Finally back from 15 hour drive from Colorado Springs. I was gone for 5 days, 2 of those spent driving. I'll edit this and post details when I'm not so exhausted...

So last night I was reading this book... It's a teen romance novel about a secret love between a 17 year old girl and a 100 year old man who has an overwhelming desire to eat her. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
