Hurrah for eighteen, but it sure is taking some getting used to. It's hard to believe that the party was only a week ago, but at the same time, the week seemed to pass really fast. The party was lots of fun, though, (and there was no craziness this year *whew*) and I'm pretty sure Kyle convinced almost everyone to go out and buy Colbert's "I Am America (And So Can You)" . . . and we watched Moulin Rouge!

. . . I showed Moulin Rouge to my parents yesterday. Disappointingly, I don't think they were too thrilled. My dad thought it was okay (and he laughed at the funny parts), but my mom only got through the very first part before walking off out of disinterest. She said she could see where it was going and knew she would end up bawling her eyes out at the end.

This would be the third weekend in a row that I have watched Moulin Rouge.

I'm currently working on a short story for the writing contest. Who knew it would be so difficult to find ideas? I think I'm finally getting somewhere with it, though.

Oh, yeah, Stacy and I were in the newspaper recently, in an article about the college's student newspaper. The writer of the article said I liked mystery books (What the . . . ?), and it sounds like I insulted high schoolers, although I swear he took the quote out of context (and off the record . . . *scribbly cloud*).
