MEAN GIRLS

OK so if you HAVEN'T seen this movie, I don't know WHO you are because the last 4 people on earth that hadn't seen it all watched it Saturday. That was great. It's wonderful when someone can totally get into a movie, so much that they blurt out things that are answered by Lindsay Lohan's voiceover.

Now let me explain, homecoming was Saturday night right? Before we watched Mean Girls, my group went to eat at PF Changs. I'll start from there. So PF Changs right? I have reservations for 12 at 9:30, we ended up having to add a couple of people to the list (which was fine) but we had to wait a little longer. It ends up that almost all of our table is ready, except we need ONE more small table that is being occupied by two women (North Dallas women I might add) that are doing absolutely NOTHING. Not eating, not drinking, not even talking, just sitting. If they WERE doing anything, it was staring at us. Now I don't really blame them cuz we were a bunch of kids walking around in suits and dresses talking about how HUNGRY WE WERE. And then we began to stare at them until they left. Then it ended up that the hostess found us another table instead... Whoops.

So dinner was delicious, I had Mongolian Beef, Sweet and Sour Chicken, and a Lettuce Wrap. Toward the end of the meal, we see this man staring at us through the glass partition by the door. Just, staring. Then, he proceeded to press his face against the glass like a 4 year old child (this caused some kids at the table to laugh, which unfortunately only encouraged him more). This man wouldn't stop, he then started to lick the window with his face was against it as we were waiving our silverware at him to scare him away. All of this is finally stopped as a woman walks up and goes, "ALFREDO! What are you doing?!" It reminded me of the Full House episode where DJ brings home an old guy from the nursing home without signing him out and then he ends up judging the neighborhoods dog competition where first prize wins a Pooper Scooper... WOW. Anyway, the window was left with some streaks or, "Alfredo Sauce" as I called the substance, and we quickly finished our dinner and got as far away as we could.

After all of the PF Chang madness is when we watched Mean Girls. Like I said, AMAZING. The whole point of the movie is to break down the barriers of girls in the world that hate each other for no reason. However, what the movie seems to be doing is building hatred between real girls and the actresses that play the girls in the movies. For instance, some people have a DEEP hatred for Lindsay Lohan (you can substitute Hilary Duff for Lindsay, or you can hate both depending on your personal preference). I though, can not understand how you could hate someone that you don't even know. All you know of them is that they're rich and have everything they want (at least everything tangible that they want). Now I'm not defending these celebrities by any means, you can NOT LIKE them all you want, but seriously, the horrible hatred for these people that you'll never meet in your life needs to stop because it's kinda scary (and really sad at the same time). WHEW. Glad I got that out. But back to Mean Girls, get the DVD, it has a great blooper reel, deleted scenes, and a Public Service Announcement that everyone must see.

BTW, if you haven't seen the Lindsay Lohan SNL with the Debbie Downer skit, you're TOTALLY missing out because it's the best ever.

*MINI BONUS*
"This is a battle that this administration WILL WIN."

I know what you're thinking, that must be the latest quote from the President about the war in Iraq... No, no, no, of course not! That is actually (and I'm not kidding) a direct quote from one of the assistant principals at school in reference to the shirt-tail-tucked-in policy. Wow...

most of our teachers have given up on that mess, occasionaly you'll have a teacher that will half heartedly say "you need to tuck your shirt in" but don't really say anything if you don't. the rule may have it's reason's, but i think it's stupid, and kinda unfair.
