Alright, I seriously tried to keep this entry devoid of any Christian Bale-ness, but it didn't look right, so I dug up this picture from Little Women, where he played Laurie, and since I'm about to rant on that subject, it is most appropriate.

I feel kind of like ranting today, so I will subject everyone to something that I've been thinking about because I actually had a dream concerning it. Weird, huh? So anyways, the topic of discussion is the Louisa May Alcott's classic novel Little Women. I first read the novel when I was 8 or 9 years old in third grade. While other kids would pull out a Bearstein Bears book during silent time, I would lug Little Women out of my backpack. It was really crazy, and I think everyone was afraid of me. But anyways, here's what my rant is really about. Jo and Laurie did not get together in the end!!! What the heck? I consider this one of the biggest missteps in a novel ever, and it sometimes makes me hate the book/movies. They were best friends for crying out loud, and she flat out refused him. Stupid idiot! And then to top it off, Laurie marries Amy, the most annoying character in the whole book! I'm still fuming about the direction that the story took. Damn you, Louisa May Alcott!!!!

Alright, on some happier notes, we should be leaving for San Antonio soon. I have to say that I'm excited about the prospects of what we will do there. Water park, beach, and other stuff. However, I'm not that big into Texan boys. So, that might be slightly dissapointing. Alright, stract slightly, and make it hugely dissapointing. And in other news, I should be getting my new old car tomorrow. It's a Silver 2001 Pontiac Sunfire, which is the car that I've been wanting since I was thirteen. So, hopefully I'll be crusing for a brusing soon. Anyways, talk to everyone  later!

I read that book around the same time too.  I was very disappointed when Jo married that old guy.  But that book is one of my favorites.  I never liked Amy though, she was conceited.  Oh and you like my comments huh? lol.  I'm going to Missouri for the weekend so if Monique comes back I won't get to see her again.  Congratulations on the car too!  talk to you later,

I read Little Women when I was young as well. I did enjoy a majority of the novel, but yes, the end does piss me off. I can't even think about it without getting angry. For some stupid girl to blow her chance with love... ugh. I refuse to watch the movies because I know it'll just get me angry. There were a few parts I found while reading Pride and Prejudice that did the same thing to me, but even that novel ended appropriately. Idiots, just idiots!

Texas... ugh. I have some bad memories in Texas. I still usually enjoy myself when we go on our trips to Dallas. The shopping makes me happy and we stay at my rich uncle's house and swim in the pool with the purple lights, haha. Random, I know. Okay, this is long. So... toodles kid.

I, too have never read Little Women. Though it does seem like I said that I did read it at one point in my life. Why, I don't know. I have watched the movie but I don't recall the ending. Oh, and more updates on San Antonio, I have directions to The Guenther House, which is an awesome place to eat at. I think that I remember how to get there but I got directions just in case. So, uh, I hope you havn't forgot about our movie plans tomorrow! Oh, and if you have your new car, I hope we take it to the movies!
