our life is not a movie or maybe

Some of things happening in my life recently don't feel very real. I feel as if I'm walking through a scripted scene, with occurrences popping up just like in Hollywood. I guess, in a sense I am and God is the director and the screenplay is my life mapped out ahead of me with surprises along the way. Maybe Shakespeare had it all completely correct!

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:

This is all mainly due to my kind of "long lost" sister. I'm not going to begin to explain my family structure because it is all very confusing, but I do have a sister that I only met a few times when I was 3 or 4.

Her name is Lisa and she is married with two girls. She lives in Chico, CA. I don't really remember her, but I have seen pictures of us together. She is my dad's daughter from his first wife, and that's all I'm going to say about that. Anyway, she contacted Annie and I a few months ago and we have been in contact through email. When Annie and I made our Christmas plans, she agreed to meet us in San Francisco. We are going to spend a couple days with her and then my dad, Nonnie, Annie, Lisa, and I are going to dinner together. This is a huge undertaking, mostly due to the turmoil in out past. What a fantastic experience. I can't wait!

Honestly, this all feels very weird. How odd is it to meet someone full grown who shares half of your DNA, or however sisters share DNA. I mean, it is all exciting but very strange!

creative souls

Catherine Hardwicke, director of Twilight, will not be returning to direct New Moon (which is coming up frighteningly fast.) This is a pretty severe disappointment due to her awesome, creative spirit that really comes to life in Twilight. She was the one behind all those creative shots of the mountains, tree line, waterfalls, deep dark forest, etc. Apparently I'm really into nature shots. That was what made that movie wonderful for me! The Pacific Northwest in all its glory! This is really unfortunate for the up coming films. I'm kind of afraid of how they are going to approach New Moon now. It has quickly become my favorite in the series (though I've only read two of them, I'm not letting myself read Eclipse yet because I am fearing an obsession to bad literature, bad as in terrible but additively awesome.) I'll say a little something about why it's my favorite after finals, but now I'm focusing on Adler, Rogers, and Perls.

Anyway, I wish it was Kristen Stewart who was announcing her leave. The woman can't act - she has two faces: perplexed coupled with in awe and frustrated coupled with distressed, both of which look strikingly similar save one small factor: she bites her lip when she's distressed.



Maybe she's cool in Into the Wild, which I haven't been able to see yet. I'm wanting to read that first along with Dharma Bums and On the Road again (both of which are set in the Pacific Northwest). Kerouac is freaking fantastic! I'm taking a turn for good literature.
