The Saddest Movie...Ever

Okay-last night I saw the saddest movie ever. I know I've said that before about: Castaway, Forest Gump, Titanic, and a bunch of other movies that make me cry-but honestly-if you have not seen "Boys Don't Cry"-you have not cried at a movie. This is the saddest movie ever. It's rated R-basically for nudity-lots of nudity-and cursing-lots of cursing-but still-saddest movie ever. On another note-I did not finish my breakwork last night-and therefore-did not attend school today-but I highly doubt that many people did. It's kind of ridiculous to have two weeks off school, then one day back, then another day off. We should've had today off, too, and I'm pretty sure that nothing important occurred. I stayed up till almost four watching "Boys Don't Cry". I didn't mean to. I was watching "The Da Vinci Code" on TNT while doing my breakwork-ART!-until like 11-then when that ended, I looked for another movie because I didn't feel like watching TV-and I looked at HBO-and saw this movie. It sounded vaguely familiar, like I'd read about it before, but I'd never seen it. In the description, it said something like, "A teenage girl masquerades as a male in a small Nebraska town." I looked it up on Wikipedia, and the description there went something like, "Boys Don't Cry is a 1999 independent drama film based on the real-life story of Brandon Teena, a trans man who was raped and murdered on December 31, 1993 by his male friends after they found out he had female genitalia. The film features Hilary Swank as Brandon Teena and Chloë Sevigny as Brandon's girlfriend Lana Tisdel." Yes, I copied that from Wikipedia, and I can't get rid of the links. Sorry. But anyway-how different are those two descriptions? Weird, right? Okay-so anyway-I ended up staying up to see that movie end...at 3:35a.m. So-I convinced my Mom to let me stay home-I went back to sleep when she left-and woke up at 2:15p.m. At first I thought my clock was wrong, but I checked my cell phone, and that said 2:25, too. So then I went back to sleep-and at 2:51-my Mom walks in. This was strange because usually she gets home around 5 or even later. She actually thought it was 5, too, which was odd. But anyway, that was life according to Grace-so-have a nice day!
