IN THE MOVIES

Dear like my diary,

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

I hope that everyone had a great time with their friends and family like I did. But do you guys ever get mixed up between your own fabulous lives and something that’s happened in a movie?Well I do…and it happened three times during my new year celebrations.

1) One of my friends, Lisa had to go leave the party and pick up her mom at 2.30am because she had the car and her mom needed to get home. So it was like okay, me and my other friend Jenna went with her. We had had a bit by then and the two of us got a bit drowsy in the car especially because it was mainly on a lot of highways. Anyway, we were driving for an hour and half-ish and on the way back Michelle Branch was playing on the cd player. I totally LOVE her ‘Everywhere’ and so I asked for Lisa to put in on again, which is when I must have started to really fall asleep because I started to dream about me sitting in the car and singing along to that song. So it was a terribly rude shock when I actually awoke to find that I had been out for 45 minutes and I was just humming and making noises in my sleep.
Also, to my surprise, we were gliding along this deserted road ‘lost highway’ style. However, having recently seen ‘Wolf Creek’ I momentarily convinced myself that I was in that movie when they were being ‘helped’ and their car was being towed by Mick. I’m telling you the scene was brilliant – the side of the car front window framed the shot perfectly so that the white broken likes sped down the exact middle and the headlights provided an orangy glow that spread in a symetrical manner across the road. Then came the most wonderful line from Lisa
"I can’t believe that you guys trust me enough to just fall asleep like that."
Im just upset that I couldn’t keep my eyes open to see it for longer…

2) The second was later in the afternoon of new years day when we were driving home from the cinema and we decided to pull into Mcdonalds for something healthy. That’s when I realised that on all four corners of the cross road that we were on there was a fast food joint. We were at Mcdonalds, to our left was KFC, Krispy Crème and a Chilli house, in front of us was a takeway chicken place and next to it was Burger King.
Okay, so I can’t quite place what movie I thought I was in at that exact moment but if I were to ever want to be in something that was about fat people – I would make it there!

3) And the last happened when we were in her inside heated pool that was nice and clean. However, Jenna and her mother were discussing the state of her neighbour’s outdoor one which had turned green.
MOTHER: maybe its tiled green.
JENNA: no mom, its filthy.
MOTHER: isn’t it always like that though?
JENNA (sarcastically): yeah they have real healthy kids.
I felt like whipping out my pen, paper and boobs ready to sue someone Erin Brokovich style.
