Day 4

Wow, I suck...now I'm 4 days behind. I rock. I guess I'll do it in individual posts...so.

day 04 → your favorite book

I don't have just one favorite book, like most people. I love books so much, I read all the time lol.

Flowers in the attic by V.C. Andrews used to be my favorite book of all time, before I discovered other amazing books. It's this totally effed up book about a mother who takes her kids back home to her parent's huge house in Virginia and locks them in a room in the upstairs wing so that she can win her father back and get his inheritance. She was written out of his will when he ran away with her husband who was also her half uncle, and he said that he would never give her money if she had any kids with him...so she just locked them in this attic room and left them there. And the grandma was this bitch who was like YOU'RE ABOMINATIONS IN THE EYES OF THE LORD! and yeah. It was nuts! Go read it haha.

The Shining by Stephen King is also one of my fave books, the book that the movie was based on. It's totally different, but it rocks.

She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb. Excellent book, very well written and sad. I felt so bad for Dolores :[

Perfect Match by Jodi Picoult[basically any Jodi Picoult book]. Jodi's an amazing author, and she has a new book out...if I hadn't spent lots of my paycheck already I'd buy it lol.

I just finished the Shutter Island book by Dennis Lehane. Also amazing. :]

Day 3

Day 3...

day 03 → your favorite television program

To be totally honest, I don't really have a favorite TV show anymore, lol. I don't really watch that much TV. I watch a lot of movies.

I used to be obsessed with House and Grey's Anatomy...but I haven't really followed House at all this season, I have about 8 episodes to catch up on on my DVR. And Grey's...well I didn't watch last season so I haven't watched this season. lol.

I also enjoy Community, The Simpsons, Family Guy, and 16& Pregnant...lol.

Day 2

Ahh, welcome to day 2. Let's see...

day 02 → your favorite movie

I have several million favorite movies. I love movies, they're probably one of my favorite things ever. There's nothing like having the shittiest day ever, popping in a movie and just forgetting about everything. And sometimes you find out that your life really doesn't suck quite so much.
So, let's go with my top favorites, along with maybe a little insight.

The Shining: I have loved this immensely since the day I saw it when I was like, 11. It's a classic. The book is phenom, too.

The Royal Tenenbaums: This is a new favorite of mine. It's got a perfect combo of dry, sarcastic humor, heart, and screwed up family. It's excellent.

The Squid and The Whale/Margot at the wedding: These 2 go together for some reason because they're by the same director, Noah Baumbach, see previous posting on here.

Shutter Island: again, a recent fave but it was SO GOOD. Go to the movies and see it now. One of the best movies I've seen in a very long time.

Coraline: For some reason I'm obsessed with this movie. It's a dark animated movie, and those are awesome. Not that I don't love me some silly animated movies, my gosh, but dark ones are good too.

Also, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Changeling, and Ordinary People. Mmmmm movies <3

Okay, so, day one. My favorite song. I don't really have a favorite song, nor do I think that I know anyone who really does. However, one of the songs that has really stuck with me for a while is the song brave new world by Hedley.

The lyrics are really deep and meaningful for me. Another song that means a lot is You're not sorry by Taylor Swift. Lyrics in general are really meaningful as they are for most people. But yeah, those are two of my favorite songs.
