"You didn't look free to me."

I am, at last, done with my third semester of school.  It took a lot of effort to get through the last week and not have a nervous breakdown, but I did it.  And I even aced my finals!  Holy hallelujah.  I would've been pissed off had I not done more than okay since I studied my ass off for that shit.

But since I've been home, I've been running to appointments all over the place.  New internist, blood work, heart tests, therapy, psychiatrist.  It's very discombobulating.  All my tests are coming back negative, though, so there's at least that.  My obsessive thoughts, in turn, are dipping.  I feel like I'm getting better, I want to be getting better...

The weather has been shit the past few days.  It's really pretty and if I were my younger self, there would be no amount of hesitation in pulling on my snowpants and boots and going outside to run around in it.  The fact of the matter is I love how the snow looks, and I love that it has been snowing so much around this festive time of year.  It's just such an inconvenience!  I'm starting to develop cabin fever, I swear.  I was going to brave the roads last night but my car was skidding and I didn't want to take any chances, so I just went out to dinner with my parents instead.  We got really delicious filet mignon.  That, I cannot complain about.

The other night I saw Milk and it was fucking incredible.  I can't wait to write a review about it, but I am also terrified I won't do it enough justice.  It's just captivating and heartbreaking and makes you so proud that there were individuals like him who cared enough about change to fight for it and see it through.  It also brings about a sense of disappointment because it sheds a light on the ignorance that existed in our country and still does.  Prop 8 much?  I know why people have been speculating as to whether or not this movie coming out sooner would have had an impact on the passing of Prop 8 in California now.  Though the answer to that is uncertain, I know had Harvey Milk been alive in this day and age, he would have fought his best to make a difference.  Hell, maybe Prop 8 wouldn't even be a problem if he were alive.  Sean Penn's portrayal was flawless, and the rest of the cast was amazing as well.

And yes, there is a naked backside shot of James Franco.  As if you needed any other initiative to see the movie.

Music that I am really into lately:  The Boy Least Likely To, Bishop Allen, Voxtrot, Tokyo Police Club, and of course Radiohead.  I've been trying to expand my boundaries, if you will.  Taking a lot of suggestions off of Last.fm and being unafraid to travel to the land of MySpace to sample songs.

My wisdom tooth on my bottom left side is hurting again.  Boo.
