found out the hype won't get you through.
"Well I was hoping he'd get more than five mintues - but..."
Jon looks at me.
"Who? - Oh - Scarecrow - yeah you like him huh."
Dad looks at me.
"You like him - like like him?"
I smile.
We went to the drive-in last night and it was fun. We spread blankets on the hood/windshield of the car and ate popcorn and sour patch kids. Jon and Heather bought my ticket to see 'The Dark Knight.' I really only remember Jokerman. I don't remember Christian Bale at all - that disappointed me slightly. But its all good. What a last performance for Ledger to be remembered by. Hah. Overall I enjoyed the experience of the drive-in much better than a theatre. I found the movie to be confusing in parts or maybe that was because it started raining and I had to scrunch myself in the backseat of the car with a highly obstructed view. There was huge flashes of lightening the whole time we were there - what seemed to be heat lightening. It added such a neat element to the movie since its darker anyways. As we got closer to home the whole sky was lit up with massive bolts of lightening and the rain began to pour. "Some town is getting hammered right now." I said, staring at bolt after bolt crashing down across the hill in a small valley. "Thats Mt. Vision, Esther." Says Jon.
"Was Robin in the movie?" Dad asks me later after I got home.
"No - no Robin."
"What? No Robin?"
"Nope."
"Why wasn't there a Robin?"
Not sure exactly Dad but for right now I think people are still trying to get used to the idea that Batman might actually be cool, dark, and mysterious and Robin kind of doesn't fit in the picture right now.
I'm sure everyone knows I'm not going back to Greenville this fall. I think its the right decision. I will be taking three 4 credit courses from SUNY Empire and working full time along with teaching. I will be very busy. It will be good and it will help prepare me for when I go back down next year.
Pray for finances as I've just put over $1,000 into my car and will need three times that for my courses. God provides and is faithful and I am thankful for how He teaches me to have faith. I still love Freddy (my car) even though he has put me through some heartache.
I will be posting some neat pics I got from my Dad's garden on Facebook in a few and I'll try to put a few on here too.
Oh, breifly before I go, I am planning on finishing a low-quality (as in 'This Little Rose' without the pedal thumping in the background) CD to sell so I can try and raise a little money for school. Its going to be a good CD. Whatever price I sell it for shipping will be included in that. I will keep you all updated on that and when it gets closer to the time that it is ready, I'll let you know and you can email me with your address if you want it. Also, if there is a song you'd like on it let me know. I have a pretty long list of songs for it already, but I'll try and work it out.
