2:06 pm	Once again I have neglected you livejournal. So much has been going on!!! Let's see.... I got to meet and get my picture taken with Michael Madsen!!! That was waaaaaaay cool... he also signed and defaced my Reservoir Dogs DVD!! Colin and I got an adorable little pug puppy a few months ago. We named him Quincy... yes cheesy but deal. Bad news is we just found out he has Hip Dysplasia and needs surgery on both his hips.... probably gonna cost around $2,000 which is way more than we have right now!! I finally got a job though... right after Thanksgiving... at Borders! It's really hard not to spend my whole paycheck every time I work though!! I'm also looking in to transcribing interviews for fellow students and acting as a caretaker for a 91 year old woman. Why do I always end up so freaking busy??? I survived another semester of school... we're starting Spring semester now... which is cool cause I finally get to take the Criminal class!!! Last semester I managed to pull off 2 A's and a B+.... don't know how!! I'm applying for practicum for next year right now... that's always fun... Hopefully I'll find some good criminals to work with! And of course... everyone should already know about my biggest news.... THE BEARS ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!!!!!!! Thank you very much... who predicted the last three years of the Bears perfectly??? Yes, that would be me.... so here's our year to win the big one!!! Suddenly there are a lot of Bears fans out there... stupid band-wagoners. Yes that's a word. I'm sure I've forgotten stuff since it's been so long..... oh Jeanie's preggers again... my stupid sisters just keep popping 'em out! This is going to be the 4th between the 2 of them. Allright that's all I've got for now... maybe I'll actually update again soon! Current Mood: busy (Comment on this)

1:29 am	Ok so again... lots of ups and downs been happening. My grandpa died... yes at finals time. Now I have no grandparents which really sucks. I keep finding things that I want to tell them or something and then kind of have to realize all over again that I can't do that. Or I keep finding things that I've forgotten about that remind me of them. At least I got to be there with him this time.... although it was tough to just wait. The doctors were saying for like a week that it could be any minute.... talk about emotional rollercoaster. Anyways... I just keep trying to remind myself that they're all much happier now and not suffering anymore... but it still sucks. On a much higher note... Colin and I got married!! :) It was June 10th. If you weren't able to attend or we didn't invite you... you can still feel free to send presents. It was pretty stressful near the end... I never would've gotten everything done if it wasn't for my awesome MOH, Julie... I would recommend her to anyone out there thinking of getting married!! Everything ended up coming together and there were only a few small mishaps... nothing major. We had a blast the day of... although I would've liked to see everyone more... it was so hectic we didn't get a chance to talk to any one person too much. If anyone wants to see pics... let me know... we have them up online. I might put a few on here later. Colin had the weirdest bachelor party ever.... he and his groomsmen recited Shakespeare, sang to each other, arranged flowers, and dyed Colin's hair. No other comments on that. I've decided to start a movie review... since I think most critiques are idiots... I can see I have to do everything myself. Tonight's movie is Hostel. Colin and I just watched it... then I watched the making of while he went to bed. This movie is freaking AWESOME!!! The cinematography is captivating and there are a ton of really cool shots. There's more than enough gore and sex to satisfy any true horror movie fan. The premise is wonderfully creepy and actually based on true events.... which makes it even creepier. The only downside is I always have issues understanding people with thick accents, and there were a few in the movie. The foreshadowing is great... making for an excellent immediate re-watch... something you can't do with most movies. Extra special bonus points for the DVD.... the making of was the best I've ever seen. It gets a million stars out of ten. It actually takes you behind the scenes... instead of just recapping the plot of the movie (which you already know) and showing scenes from the movie (which you've already seen). It's also freaking hilarious!!! I would recommend this to any true horror fan or anyone with a pulse. This is the must see of the summer.... trust me!!! If anyone has any movies they'd like me to review... feel free to leave suggestions! (Just no chick flicks... I don't think I could sit through 'em!) And now to bed... for sweet blood filled dreams.

1:30 pm	Well there's been a lot going on! Grandma McCrea died at finals time last semester and Grandma Skorupa died at finals time this semester. Not fun doing finals around funerals, etc.!!!! I really hate that they can't come to the wedding... and I'm kinda worried that Grandpa won't be able to come either. I can't help but wonder how much longer he's going to last. This whole old age and death thing sucks. The wedding is only like a month away and we still have a ton to do. We'll be lucky to get it all done in time! We did manage to find somewhere to live at least. I've been packing all week and I'm moving into our house this weekend!! Colin will join me eventually. He's upset cause he says everyone is gonna live in his house before he does.... a bunch of people are spending the night at various times before the wedding. The house is a cute little two bedroom. My favorite part is the backyard though. There's this huge meadow behind it and then the forest starts. I can't wait to get a puppy to take out there for walks and stuff!! School starts again next week.... NOT looking forward to it!! I wish it didn't start until after the wedding. I can't wait until July though... wedding will be over... moving will be over... school will be over!!! I am taking hypnotherapy though... that should be interesting. Colin and I are totally broke... I don't know what we're going to do. Between the wedding and the house we're going to be lucky to get by. Especially since school costs so freaking much!!! Anyway... there's just been so many ups and downs lately that I'm ready to pull my hair out!! Too much!! Too much!! I'm seriously thinking of finding a therapist. They really drill it in at school that we should all be seeing a therapist anyway... with everything that's been going on it's looking really appealing right now. I just need to find one that will work around my barely there bank account. I know therapy generally has negative connotations in society... but I really think everyone should be in therapy!! Oh well... you can all think I'm crazy. Current Mood: indescribable (2 Comments |Comment on this)

12:55 pm	Ipodians Eyes Only I recently received an Ipod Mini with the purchase of my laptop. I've discovered that there is much more to this tiny machine than convenient music. I was suddenly part of an elite secret club. On the train, on the El, walking downtown, suddenly I found myself exchanging knowing glances and smiles to fellow Ipodians. We are like an alien race that is slowly taking over the world. We can recognize each other by pure instinct. We share secret handshakes and shun those who aren't "one of us". I tried to comfort myself by convincing myself that no one had my interesting mix of songs on their Ipod. I was sure I was the only one who had Mr. Randy’s Greatest Hits. The growing number of Ipodians, however, has planted a seed of doubt about this. There are certain things you have to get used to once you become an Ipodian. I find myself walking in time to whatever song is playing at the time. This causes me to slow down suddenly at times. Frequently the person behind me can't adjust as quickly and runs into me. At other times, I must increase my speed. Twice now, I have almost killed myself running up flights of stairs to the beat of a fast song. I reach the top heaving and gasping for breath. Strangers looked at me like I was crazy, but then I caught the eye of a fellow Ipodian. She nodded and smiled and gave the secret hand signal. I knew then that I was part of a unique new race. At other times I find myself in a modern day musical. I was getting strange looks from fellow pedestrians as I walked to school one day. Suddenly two Ipodians flanked me and started singing the same song that I had been listening too. I realized that I had been singing out loud. It took only moments before I was in the midst of an entire group of Ipodians, singing in perfect harmony and performing a synchronized dance on the sidewalk. Unfortunately all this fantastic dancing caused me to pull a hamstring. As you can see, an Ipod is much more than it appears. They should put all this on the warning label.

11:44 pm	I finally started winning some tournaments in my pyramids league!!! I know... I'm a geek... but it's ok. So we've actually gotten quite a bit done as far as wedding planning goes. We still need a photographer however, (evil looks at you know who you are) and a cake. But other than that, we're in pretty good shape. We registered for gifts this past weekend. That was interesting!! We went a little crazy and had to delete a bunch of stuff, but luckily you can do that online!! Colin's Aunt Kathleen (who I have never met) is throwing me a shower for that side. I have no idea what to expect... his family is so different from mine!!! I'm a little nervous... I'm not really the traditional type... so a traditional wedding shower... a little weird. But it is really nice of them to do this and it'll be nice to meet a lot of his family... I only really know a few of them so far. I've been so busy lately... I could really use a break!! No time of course. My practicum is pretty interesting... I can't actually talk about it though... confidentiality and all. I had to read this really awesome book for one of my classes. It's called Running With Scissors by Augusten Burroughs.... it's so funny... everyone has to read it!!!! Colin ran over a huge something in the road the other night... flattened both tires and the right side and ruined the rims... I had to go pick him up in the middle of the snowy night!! Then I had to drive him around forever cause the stupid garage kept saying that they needed another day. That was a fun surprise expense. I decided I want to take part in the Breast Cancer 3 Day here in Chicago... it's sometime in September. You can go to 3day.org to find out more or request information.... if anyone wants to join me!!! I can't think of anything else... I always wait too long to update and then I can't remember stuff!!!! I'm gonna do better..... riiiiiight....... Current Mood: busy (4 Comments |Comment on this)

3:40 pm	Hope everyone had good holidays!!! You will never believe what I got for Christmas....... the Magic Bullet!!!! It's so freaking awesome!! I can't believe I survived another semester of graduate school.... only 7 more to go!! Geez.... It's getting pretty stressful with school, practicum, planning a wedding, and trying to make some money!! Welcome to adult life... it sucks!! I'm like stuck in this netherworld where I'm still a student, yet have all these other adult responsibilities.... sometimes I wish I could go back to high school.... Ok.. enough complaining.... Colin's parents are coming up this weekend to look at places for the rehearsal dinner... that should be interesting. I just can't get used to how different they are!! I mean, they're really nice.. don't get me wrong.... but they're extremely fancy and proper and everything... and as most of you know, I am most certainly NOT. We saw King Kong on Colin's birthday... it was loooong... but actually pretty good. There were these annoying women behind us though that kept talking and squealing... like when the bugs came and stuff... I almost threw my water bottle at them!! That's pretty much it... everyone who hasn't checked out my website... get to it!!! www.whatyouneed.unfranchise.com or email me with any questions or anything!!!!

8:36 pm	Go Bears!!! My Bears have won their 8th game in a row!!!! We're so going to the Superbowl. I know... I know... I've been saying that since the last time we did.... but it's really true this time!!! It's the 20th anniversary... the whole city is buzzing about it a little more after each win!! I can't wait to see how many Bears "fans" come crawling out of the woodwork the better we do. But I don't even care.... for once my team is doing awesome and I get to gloat about it!!!! My apartment is officially decorated for Christmas.... my electric bill is gonna be pretty big this month!! I can't wait until this semester is over!! I still have a ton to do before then though!! I also don't really get much of a break because I have a lot of hours to catch up on at my practicum site..... oh well... it'll be nice to only have that and work at least!! I now have about 5 random and sporadic jobs.... I have to have this many options with my schedule so I can still make some money!! I managed to sell my old desktop for $360... not bad!!! Colin and I stumbled across the GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME the other day!!!! I know I've said it before... so maybe it's not the greatest of all time... but who can really rank that??!?!? Anyway... this movie is awesome!!! It's called Dead and Breakfast and it's apparently a newly released independent film. There is nothing wrong with this movie... it has comedy, gore, and even singing and dancing!!!! I can't possibly describe it and do it justice... so please just trust me that it's really good!!! It even has an awesome soundtrack that I would love to track down... but haven't been able to yet. If you do take my advice to see this movie, please let me know what you think of it!!! 20 days 'till my birthday!!!!! Current Mood: busy (2 Comments |Comment on this)

5:20 pm	HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!! Halloween is the best holidiay ever!!! Colin and I had to do our Halloween day yesterday though... cause I had Practicum today and tomorrow. We went to a matinee of Wicked downtown... it was absolutely AWESOME!!!!! Everyone HAS to see this musical!! You have to see the Wizard of Oz first. Normally I would think that was the stupidest, most pointless statement ever..... however, I just learned that my own fiance has never seen it!!!!! He didn't even get half the jokes, because the referenced the movie!!! We also went to a haunted house in Lombard. It was actually pretty good... I was impressed!!! It took us at least 20 minutes for us to just walk through it... which is pretty good!! It was also very detailed... all the different rooms had different themes, and they really went all out... it was great!! They also had Michael Myers roaming the parking lot... he did a pretty good Mike too!!! He came up to our car and just stared at us and Colin freaked out.... in fact he freaked out throughout the whole haunted house... but he's good at that. We've been watching horror movies all month for Halloween and he's so glad it's almost over!!! I haven't told him that we're only half way through the Friday the 13th series, so we're going to have to finish that....... It's about to storm here... which is perfect for a nice fall Halloween night!!! Have I mentioned that I like Halloween??? We also listened to Halloween music all day yesterday as we drove all over Illinois!! Well... gotta go watch The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Current Mood: scared - tee hee (Comment on this)

10:52 am	OK... so like a million things have happened since I last updated, but of course I waited too long and I'm sure I've forgotten half of them by now. I do know that this is my first update on my new laptop!!!!! I absolutely love it!! I got a Mac to get Jason, Erik, and Jackie off my back..... joke.... but seriously it's really cool! I even have wireless internet now!! I finally started my first case at my practicum!! I was really nervous at first, but I really had fun with it!! I'm almost a psychologist!!!! If I can ever get out of school that is!! Julie is joining my grad school adventure though... she got into the grad school at ISU the other day!!! And she and Erik just bought a house!! This girl has everything.... I'm so jealous!!! Colin and I are actually making some progress on the wedding plans... only 240 days left!!! We still have a lot to do of course..... but I think I may have my dress, which is the thing I was worried about the most. Yes... I said dress.... once in a lifetime opportunity... tickets only $1595!!! We've been looking at townhomes and houses in the Western suburbs for when we get married. It'll be a little closer to school and much closer to work for Colin, but still the same distance to both of our parents' houses.... so it seems like a good compromise. I am so freaking busy!!! I have school, plus homework, plus practicum, plus report writing for practicum, plus working for my grandmother and/or Cliff!!!!! Pretty much every second is accounted for!!! Unfortunately I'm totally broke so I need to keep working. Being poor sucks!!! Only 18 more days until WICKED!!!!!!!! (5 Comments |Comment on this)

11:25 pm	I'm getting bad at updating again!! Ok... let's see what's been happening. 1)I have now officially finished my first year of graduate school!!!!! Only four more to go!!! I managed a pretty decent GPA as well, if I do say so myself.... and I do. 2)Colin and I have booked our hall for the reception, and are now trying to find a photographer. I tend to be pretty picky about this type of thing, however, so it could take a while. 3)I got arrested and spent a little time in jail. 4)I am currently applying for a practicum site that I really, really want: The Center for Applied Psychology and Forensic Studies... wish me luck!!! This is the site I originally wanted... so maybe it's a sign that this is where I should be.... really, really, REALLY, want it!!!! 5)I'm going to get a chinchilla. Any suggestions for names? I was thinking of Quentin..... 6)Colin and I are thinking of buying a house. We are also open to renting, but those are really hard to find. We'd really like to stay close to the area where we are now though... it seems to be a happy medium between all the places we have to be. 7)Lisa asked me to be Jaedyn's godmother (that's two now!!). I just hope all these people don't die at once or I'm going to suddenly end up with two kids!!!! 8)I finally saw Kinsey, and it was actually pretty good... I'm a big fan of his and I thought the movie was well done to reach out to the average person and let them truly grasp the huge impact that he had on our society and on psychology, even though he was a biologist!!! 9)I found out RENT is going to be a movie... not really sure how I feel about that yet... still kind of skeptical, but of course I'll go see it. 10)Julie and I had a fun little "wedding weekend" recently. It was fun for just the girls to hang out... we don't really get to do that anymore. 11)If anyone is interested in working from home, let me know. Colin and I are looking into starting something up in this area. It's with a company that my cousin has been working with for four years now, and he's doing REALLY well with it, so we thought we would give it a try. There's probably more in that big span of time since my last post, but unfortunately it's been such a big span of time, that I don't remember!!! I'll try to be more diligent!!!!

1:42 pm	I love how finals now last about three weeks instead of one..... the stress gets to continue for longer!!!! I still have like 7 things left on my to do list... and classes are over a week from today. I can't wait to get everything done and get a break before the summer semester starts. It's only two weeks... but I'll take anything at this point!!! I should be writing a paper right now, actually, but I just don't have much motivation left.... which kind of sucks. I still don't know what I'm going to do about a practicum site.... I tried creating my own... but didn't have much luck there. I can't wait until we move to the new location... I haven't even been there yet though... I should probably see how long it takes me to get there. If Colin gets this job with Comcast Sportsnet though... we'll be in the same building!!!! That would be extremely cool... plus... maybe we could actually afford this wedding that we're planning!!!! Current Mood: exhausted (2 Comments |Comment on this)

12:40 pm	So basically life sucks and there's nothing you can do about it. Ok... so I would say I'm fairly spiritual, although not religious... God is a big part of my life, etc. But I'm so freaking sick of people saying "It's God's plan" or "God must not have wanted you to do that" blah blah blah. These are the same people who are constantly preaching that God gave us free will... so why would he be vetoing everything we do with it!??! Allright... I think I'm getting a bit to philosophical... basically I'm just pissed. I found a practicum site that was absolutely perfect for me, but of course didn't get it.... apparently because God didn't want me to. Whatever... that's just a cop out.... a way for people to offer sympathy by taking the blame off my shoulders... when really it's just because I suck and no one wants to hire me........ yeah... life sucks.

1:21 pm	I stole this from Phil's journal... but even I had to admit it's pretty fun!!!! It's a website where you can make pictures of your friends... or whatever... in South Park style.

4:35 pm	Now I have a nephew and a niece!! Lisa had her baby on tuesday.... Jaedyn Marie. Her hair is like an inch long!!! My mom thinks it will all fall out though... and grow in again... that's what Lisa's did. I've been doing pretty well in school this semester... not to toot my own horn (I never understood that phrase... who else is going to toot your horn?)... but I was the only one in my CBT class to get a "perfect" 100% on a recent paper. I've gotten A's on everything so far this semester in fact. Today we got back our Rorschach scoring exercises that the professor had been telling us all semester... no one will do good on these... expect to get a "C" or lower..... I got an "A"!!!! Maybe I can do this grad school thing after all!!!! Colin and I are going to see Wicked in May, here in Chicago. We're hoping to get a big group... so if anyone would be interested in getting a ticket... let me know and we can order them all together!!!! In case you don't know... Wicked is a broadway musical and is kind of the prequel to Wizard of Oz... It's the story of the witches when they were in school together as teenagers. I've had a couple of practicum interviews... the next is on thursday.... those three are really my top choices too, so I almost hope I don't have any more. If I don't GET any of those, however, that could be a problem!!! We hear back from sites on March 28th... so we'll see!!!! I hate waiting........ BE COOL (starring John Travolta) was absolutely fabulous!!!!!! And NOT just because John was in it. It's a very satirical comedy... with some more obvious comedy thrown in for the masses.... Elmore Leonard is absolutely brilliant!!!! I literally shed some tears at the end because it was soooooooooo good!!!! I know... I'm a geek... but I haven't seen a movie this good in a while.... Everyone should go see it... but SEE GET SHORTY FIRST!!!! Many of the jokes relate back to Get Shorty... so you're missing out if you don't see it first. Happy movie going!!!!

12:46 pm	Happy John Travolta's Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know why I don't update more often. It would be a good distraction from studying!!! I've been applying for practicum for next year the past couple of weeks. I got my first interview today!!!! Omni Youth Services would like to interview me next friday. They're not my first choice... but they are the only ones who have offered me an interview so far!!! Of course it's been less than a week since I mailed out all my application materials. Hopefully others sites will call too. School's going ok this semester. I really like my classes on thursday (projectives and CBT). Tuesday classes are a pain though. Especially since I'm there ALL DAY!!!! Julie's coming up tomorrow!!! We're going to a party at Keri's saturday night, then sunday we're going back to Bloomington to go to a bridal show. I've never been to one... and frankly, I'm a little scared. We'll see how it goes...... It's so nice to have Colin here!! We get to see each other every day now... even if it's only for an hour or two. He's not really enjoying Circuit City, so he's still looking for another job. He's needs some full time work anyway. I have a million things to do today... I suppose I better get started!!!!! Oh... by they way... I just found out last night that I'm 23!!! I've been telling people that I just turned 22. I don't know where 22 went!!!!! Current Mood: busy (5 Comments |Comment on this)

4:01 pm	Have I mentioned that I love grad school?? I know I complain about it a lot... but I really do like it. I only have one bad class this semester... the rest are all interesting and the professors seem cool. The bad one is the Jon Lovitz class... he is sooooo boring!!!! After two hours of class the other day I only had a half a page of notes... that's pretty bad.... although I did have a nice picture of a bunny and a flower. I have a lot of reading to do this weekend... that's the boring part... well I guess not all of it... but it's definitely time consuming. Dr. Edgerly asked me if he could give my e-mail to some current QU students interested in grad school... that's kind of cool. He must think I'm at least half way competent!!! Colin's moving in just over a week!!!! I'm so excited!!! I'm going to clean up his apartment a little bit this weekend... I wonder what his parents really think about all of this................ Julie and Erik got engaged!!!! Isn't that exciting??? It's kind of weird... Julie and I are so much alike and our paths in life always seem to be parallel... I guess that's how we've maintained being best friends even though we don't get to see each other much. It'll be fun to kind of plan our weddings together.... plus we want a lot of the same things... same colors for sure... so we're hoping maybe we can share some stuff and save a little money!!! That's always a plus!! I've discovered that it is impossible for me to use only one exclamation point... what's up with that?? I've been on a campaign lately to get all of my friends to move up here... I hate that everyone has to live somewhere else... I guess that's how it goes.... but I've actually made some progress with a couple of people. Last I heard Zac was still considering the art institute up here.... I told Marc he could go to school up here too... hopefully he's seriously considering it.... I told Jenny and Tim to move up here... but I don't think Tim will ever leave Quincy... same goes for Matt & Clare... If anyone else wants to move to Chicagoland let me know!!! We could take over my whole apartment complex!!!! Allright... I guess that's the cue to go back to work....... Current Mood: busy (1 Comment |Comment on this)

5:20 pm	Well I definately haven't written in a while. I managed to survive my first semester of grad school... although at times it seemed kind of iffy. The break was pretty good.... spent time in Metamora, Bloomington, and around here. I got to see Julie, Erik, and Jason a few times... always good. Colin's finally moving up here!!! The last weekend of the month is his official move date. It'll be so nice to see each other all the time... and be able to start planning the wedding!!!! Classes seem pretty interesting so far this semester. My projectives prof is a hottie too!! That always makes it easier to pay attention. My health prof, however, looks like John Lovitz... interesting..... We're starting to apply for practicum for next year already. Our final list of our top 10 sites is due tomorrow... so I need to narrow mine down a little further still. This is going to be a nerve wracking experience... I can already tell. I think once I get placed at a site though... it'll be fun. Most of the sites I'm looking at are correctional faciliites... including the Cook County Jail, which my dad forbid me to work at! It might be the only place that'll take me though!! That's really about all that's been going on... I'm glad to be back at school... I enjoy my classes... but I'm not sure if I'm ready to dive back into all the homework and studying again.... I guess we'll find out!!! Current Mood: hopeful (5 Comments |Comment on this)

1:25 pm	Warning: Excessive Whining Ok... so I am so stressed out lately!!! I only have a week and a half left of this semester, but I still have SO much to do. I've already been working pretty much nonstop for... well... the entire semester. And now they've been piling it on for the last few weeks of school. I just don't know if I can get it all done. Plus... I've been having to spend a lot of time with my grandparents lately. They're both going downhill pretty fast. I do want to be able to help them as much as possible, but it's making me fall behind in my school work!! They are to the point where they really need to be in a nursing home. I just can't be there constantly to take care of them to the extent that they need it! Luckily I told my parents everything that's been going on and they came up to talk to them. They agreed to hire a nurse to come during the day... every day... she just started yesterday, so I feel much better about that. I always felt guilty when I couldn't be there. So I've been doing homework since like 8am and needed a little break. I still have tons of stuff to cross of my list. Needless to say normal chores have definitely been neglected. I'm starting to run out of clothes and dishes, and haven't gone grocery shopping in a loooong time. Allright... last complaint. I really wish Colin would move up here already!!! We hardly ever get to see each other, which sucks. Plus I don't even know if I'll get to see him for my birthday and Christmas. He's the one that keeps me sane when I get stressed out... and he's not here to do it!!! I had a nervous breakdown the other day and just started like sobbing... just cause I couldn't find my notes. If he was actually HERE it would make school so much easier to handle. Ok... I'm done.... for now. Current Mood: stressed (2 Comments |Comment on this)

4:34 pm	So Colin came for Halloween weekend. Friday night we watched Dawn of the Dead... it was pretty good, but the original is still a hilarious classic. Saturday we went downtown and did various things.... including fireworks at Navy Pier. Then Sunday we ended up in the car for most of the day... tell you why later... Then we saw The Grudge. It was pretty good... but not worth all the "scary" hype. I didn't think it was scary at all... I also found it very predictable... but then all scary movies are. I love 'em anyways!! It was definitely a good weekend... and now for the news that some people may actually care about.... Colin and I are engaged!!!!!!!!!! "So he proposed on Halloween...." Pigs are a-flying today!!!!!
