This video is kind of crap, but it’s all the footage I had and I’m too lazy to do any other video now.

[Day 5] I was a creepy middle-schooler
Dear Liam Aiken,
I am a senior in high school in a town of no consequence in Colorado. On August 19th of this year, I started a year-long blog project entitled “365 Days of Bri” to rediscover myself. I’ll add the details at the end of this letter, but for now I’ll just explain your part. Every day of the week I have a different task to do, at once I’ve completed it I have to write about the experience in the blog. On Sundays like today, my task is to write a thank you letter to someone I’ve never met. For reasons I will explain shortly, you made the most sense to start off with.

Should I do it??
WTF
Mirrors and Hotels
Mirrors are very useful contraptions. When you walk by one, it’s hard not to check your hair or that grossly disproportionate thing on your face that is your nose. (Maybe that’s just me) But mirrors can be awkward too. So here, now, are the three most awkward placements of mirrors. Continue reading “Mirrors and Hotels”
This is the story of a girl
Who didn’t eat for 30 hours.
Although my Twitter updates may seem contrary, the 30 hour fast wasn’t actually that bad. I mean, I ate a regular size dinner (that is to say, large), and my body was like “Meh. Thanks for feeding me.” And then we were good. I woke up this morning, packed my [vegetarian] lunch, ate breakfast, and left for school. Easy peasy.
Except for lunch. That was terrible. I avoided the cafeteria by staying in my debate coach’s room, where Bart and Tessa and Mia were. Mia was also on the fast, but Tessa and Bart were not. Bart’s soggy peanut butter and jelly sandwich never smelt better, and Tessa’s popcorn filled the room with a salty, buttery scent for an hour. It. Was. Torture.
But once I stopped thinking about food, I was good. If I ignored any mention of food, I was just fine. I could have gone another thirty hours.
Survivor, here I come!
It’s been a while
For NHS (National Honors Society), I’m participating in a charity called the “30 hour famine”. That means that I can’t eat for thirty hours, starting at noon on Sunday and ending at six on Monday. I’m two hours in, and I can smell my dad’s lunch. This does not bode well.
I have other announcements:
1. Bart and I, despite our dysfunctions, made it to State in debate!! The season continues! I’m very proud of this. Two of the people we debated (on separate teams, no less) told me that I’m a really great speaker and it seems like I do all the work. Well, yes, I do all the work. So thanks!
2. I can touch my tongue to my nose. Bart and I were waiting outside a room for our debate to start, and he told me to try it. I don’t remember why exactly. So I tried… and I could! Definitely the highlight of my day.
3. I have a date! I think. His name is Dylan and it took the combined powers of his debate team and my debate team (he goes to school across the valley) to get him to ask me on a date. I gave him my number, and since I can’t eat today he’s supposed to call me with what time his choice of movie is playing so I know when he’s picking me up. It’s almost two o’clock, and he has not called. Hm. Updates on that later. If there is a later.
4. I’m hungry.
5. 1984 is an awesome book and anyone who doesn’t like it is silly.
6. I am out of interesting things to say.
Top 5 Weirdest (and Greatest) Movies
No doubt about it, the movies on this list are weird. They either don’t seem to have a point, or just don’t play out the way most movies you see do. For most mainstream audiences, they are stupid and pointless, but to film lovers, they are masterpieces.
5. Dr. Stranglove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
To be fair, pretty much any Stanley Kubrick film could have made this list, but this ones my favorite out of his. About nuclear war, this is the definition of a dark comedy. It features an ex-Nazi in a wheelchair, some crazy generals, and some of the best lines in any movie “We can’t fight here, this is the war room!”. Like I said, these movies aren’t for everyone, but I just can’t imagine someone not liking this movie.
4. American Beauty
I don’t even know where to begin on this movie. It reminds me of a hybrid of the comedy “Office Space” and “Fight Club”. After seeing this one last night, I just knew I had to make a list including it. So this one is about an “average” family in the suburbs, who have been tamed by urban life. Each character in it has an entirely different role and weirdness to them. Just watch it to see what I mean.
3. Donnie Darko
A psycho student, time travel, a perverted motivational speaker, and a person in a bunny costume named Frank all are part of this cast. If that isn’t weird enough, put in an ending that will confuse you until your brain hurts from trying to put things together. Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention the conversation that some of the high schoolers had about Smurfs.
2. Pulp Fiction
I’ve lost track of how many of my lists this movie has been on. But it seems like every topic I decide to do, Pulp Fiction always comes up. The characters aren’t the stragest part of this movie like the other movies, but it’s the way this one is told and the dialogue that just doesn’t fit at all but still fits perfectly with it. The message is what messes up most people when they see this one, they think it’s just a bunch of mindless brutal violence, but just watch and research it later, the whole thing will make sense.
1. Fight Club
There is no genre that this film can’t fit into in some way or another. It has comedy, romance, drama, thriller, action, and even sports. The dialogue and characters seem to make no sense, and you have no clue what the point is until the end, where there is a vague idea. It’s my #1 favorite movie of all time, and there is a reason for that. But like Pulp Fiction, a lot of people see it as stupid, mindless violence.
