the curious case of benjamin button








I just finished watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and I haven't stopped crying for the past hour and a half. It was the greatest but saddest movie I have ever seen in my life. Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett were brilliant, unbelievable, truly unbelievable. I have never seen a better movie than this. The Green Mile was always my favorite movie for being so well-done from the acting to the plot but Benjamin Button has now taken over. 'unbelievable' and 'amazing' aren't even strong enough words to describe this film, and those words are incredibly strong already! Incredibly brilliant. the acting, plot, film, scenery... I want to love like Benjamin and Daisy. I want to forever appreciate and be grateful for everything I have, everything I do, and everything I have done. this film teaches you more about love, life, and strength. It's the beauty of how two people can love each other no matter what. what an amazing film. but dig deeper into the quotes of Benjamin and Daisy, the picture of the film, the small roles of all the characters in the movie; they all mean something. It's much more than what their role is in the movie. dig deep. find out. It's so much more. the film makes me miss two certain people much more than I already do. but instead of missing them and hurting, I miss them and appreciate my time I spent with them. that's all I can do in this world and in my life. that's all I can do while time ticks by, while we grow old, as death approaches us.

♥ how many licks does it take to get to the center of the lollipop?



I wear: a blue velvet bow headband from Morning Glory for $6 (I was pissed for how much that was but it was too cute to resist), a blue plaid shirt/dress by BDG, a red metallic bustier strapless dress from forever 21 for $30, white knee high socks from h&m, and cute blue bow heels from etsy for $30.

last week I had wild, crazy nights... this week, I've been having boring, sleepless nights. I'm still taking my 10 hour naps throughout the day but now when it comes to going to bed at night, I can't sleep. I'm so restless. It's 4:30 now. I haven't been able to sleep for the past few hours. this is going to kill me tomorrow! why can't I have a normal sleep pattern?

I hope to go to new york city this weekend so I can go thrift shopping at Beacon's Closet in Brooklyn but it's supposed to rain, of course!!! I went into Princeton today and it was nice for about, a half hour until it looked like it was about to downpour but it didn't. It just started raining lightly. I bought some cute Hello Kitty & Cinnamonroll things at the sanrio shop, Morning Glory. I was happy. I have to make the trip to Princeton at least 3 times a week. that's annoying though.

I'm cutting back smoking!!! I'm not quitting though. I can't. I know I can't yet. But I've started smoking a lot more lately. I'm up to 3 and a half packs a week now instead of 2. My mom is PISSED because of all the $$ she's spending on my cigarettes so she's limiting my cigarettes to one pack a week (that's going to be impossible but I'll try the best I can) and I've been replacing my extra cigarette cravings for tootsie lollipops!!!! like Kojak :DDD. eventually I will try to quit altogether but with everything that's been going on, I can't right now. yikes.

love, dayna
