I heard about the Twilight craze a few months ago and read some chapters of the various books online. Though intrigued by the Cullen family and their various quirks, I honestly didn’t think the writing in the pieces I read was anything to write home about and the obsession between Bella and Edward for each other is downright disfunctional. Despite all of this, I decided to go see the movie.
It was absolutely terrible. Though the actors were pretty ((particularly Robert Pattinson…)), the acting was subpar, the script was contrived and the special effects were trite. The film is cheesy in the worst ways possible.
I loved every minute of it. I don’t even know why. I even laughed at parts that were supposed to be dead serious, and yet I still liked the characters, was still drawn into the story. I kinda want to go see it again.
Please note: this does not mean I’ll be touching the books, even with a thirty-nine-and-a-half-foot pole. But, the movie is something I like…in spite of it’s ridiculousness. Actually, maybe it’s because it’s so ridiculous. I don’t know. Regardless, I am a fan of the movie. Just don’t go around telling people that.

I strained my ankle doing stupid dancey things. Actually, I have two theories for how it happened:
1. I was waiting for my dad after school ((I sound like I’m in third grade…really, I’m in college…just, no car)) and was dancing randomly and decided that then would be a good time to test out my ankles and hop on the tips of my toes pointe-style…in sneakers. Probably not a good idea.
2. I did 240 eleves ((similar to calf raises, only in ballet positions…)).
I’m leaning toward the second thing. So, anyway, over the last week, my ankle had gotten better. Today, I hopped out of bed and was excited because it felt totally better, which means I can stop taking it easy and practice dance some more during the week. And…then…
I chased Marshie down the stairs. For some reason, the pounding down the stairs made my ankle hurt worse than before. So, on went the ACE bandage.
I have to say, I am highly appreciative of ACE bandages. They offer a suprising amount of support for an injured ankle. And, although mine is currently digging into my Achilles tendon, that’s because I put it on incorrectly, I think.
Anyway, hopefully this whole thing will clear up soon. Until then, I’m rocking the ACE bandage.
