Now that I've seen at least 50 of AFI's Top 100 Movies of all Time, and because Sarah asked me about it, I thought I'd compile my own "Clarke's Top 100 Movies of all Time." These are just mine, so feel free to bash/disagree if you want. There's not a whole lot of "classics," because if I put some of 'em on there, it'd just be me being pretentious, so I'm going with what I really think. Also, if you're super bored, you can copy the list and put it in a reply and see which ones you've seen (this is a requirement for Sarah, so I can see how much work I have to do =) Anyway, here it is:

In other news, I made it into my Tolkien class (yes!) and every other one I wanted. Hopefully my last semester at college'll be a good one.

Finally, Georgia, you need to check out the soundtrack to the movie "I'm Not There" (the one about Bob Dylan). Actually, Sarah, since you're not a big fan of Dylan's voice, you may like it, too. I can get it to either of you right away, just let me know. Check out this tracklisting! http://music.barnesandnoble.com/search/product.asp?EAN=886971203820&delay=y&PV=y&z=y&cds2Pid=18835&linkid=1032356

Well, the school year has started, which means its back to the ol' newspaper, so here's my first story! Enjoy!

Vampires in love...all you need to know

So, the summer has come to end. Time for school to start out again. I'm nervous (but I always am before school starts - isn't everyone?) and I always get nostalgic right before school starts. The night before I start school I always think of this Charlie Brown where he's leaving town for a bit, and everyone's there to wish him well, and he says, "This whole thing makes me feel like I'm being drafted." 

But, I have hopes that this year'll be a good one. I'm taking some classes that should be fun  - I hope, anyway - and I'm writing for the newspaper, which'll probably keep me busy, but should be good busy. 

And it doesn't hurt that this year I am lucky enough to have some very good thoughts to keep me going through the rough patches. 

So wish me luck! Here's to the hope it's a good year...

Hey everyone!
So I'm in a journalism class at my college and for it we have to write a "trend" story, so I was going to write one about livejournal, because it's so popular. The thing is, I need at least three sources, so if anyone would be willing to answer a couple questions of mine via e-mail, I would forever grateful! Please reply to this post if you would be willing to help! I promise the questions won't be too difficult! Please help! Thank you so much!

Who'd of thought that registering for next semester's classes would get so bloody complicated so fast. Blood and bloody ashes! Anyway, it's really interferring in my ability to make the necessary changes to my first FF fanfic and get it posted. Bloody school.
