Guilty Pleasure
I am a total dork. I admit it freely. There is much evidence for said dorkiness, but the latest comes in the form of my most recent guilty pleasure: Crossroads. I love it. It's cheesy, predictable, and totally sappy and goofy, but I really just love that movie. Today I watched it again at Aarti's. Her roommate Amy came home when we were just starting it, and then Shefali and Brandon came in about 15 minutes later. The five of us sat glued to the television, making the occasional snide comment or little snort, but basically we were into the movie, man! Then, the best part. At the end of the DVD, there's this singalong, see. "I'm Not A Girl" and "Overprotected," kind of like karaoke. Well, we sang along. All of us. Even Brandon. We had our remote control/cordless phone/pen microphones out and we just sang our little hearts out. It was so much fun! And pretty hysterical, I'm sure. Amy and Shif want us to practice and take our act to Karaoke at White Horse. Lol. We'll see.
I bought a Britney notebook at Meijer today, too. I'm not sure why. Maybe I was feeling the Brit-Brit love after Crossroads. Maybe it was just pretty. <.shrug> Not her, so much, because her hair is kind of icky and she's wearing weird leather shorts, but the flowers behind her are very nice. <.g>
Other than that, my day was pretty ho-hum. I participated in a psych experiment, which was a lot of fun. I was in a group of three and we had to solve two puzzles. They gave us the letters A-J, and they each corresponded with a number 0-9. We had to make up equations (minimum of three letters, for example AG+D= or C+F+J=), and then the researcher would tell us the answer in a letter form, like AG+D=I or something. From that, we had to figure out what number each letter was, in ten trials or less. Talk about working out the brain! WHEW! We did well, though, I think. We figured out both codes, and had ten minutes to spare. She told us we had the hardest condition (some people only needed to use a minimum of 2 letters, some had no restrictions, and some were given what one letter was straight away), but we made it. Thanks, mostly, to a girl who had taken a number of logic classes. <.g> But we all pitched in. And we each get 5 points of extra credit, so woohoo!
