Like Deidra said, all the snow is pretty much gone here. It's insane. And there isn't even any snow in the forecast. I can't remember it ever being this warm here at this time of year. It's kind of nice except it is not helping me at all in terms of motivation to get school work done.
I didn't really celebrate St. Patricks Day this year. The most I usually do for that day is wear some green or something, but I didn't even do that much because I didn't have any green clothes with me in Thunder Bay.
My school week has been really busy and stretched out. I spent a bunch of time working on some scholarships and stupid calculus. Thankfully though most of that is done for now, and I can relax a bit. Except not really because I have a ton of other stuff to do, including top secret birthday preparations for Deidra. And just to bug you Dee: It's going to be super awesome I can not even tell you how excited I am about what I got you. >: )
I totally agree with you about being able to take a joke, Adam. The Canadian stereotype isn't really offensive in the first place though so I guess that helps in my case. Like, oh no, people think that because I'm Canadian I'm really nice, live in an igloo, and drink maple syrup by the bottle, lol.
Kate, yeah they had four bottle dancers in The Fiddler on the Roof. It was really really cool, it totally looked like the bottles were glued to the dancers' heads, but then they tipped them off at the end and caught it in their hands. That's really cool that your brother did that part in the musical. I wonder if it was very difficult.
Kira, I've always gotten along really well with my sister. Whenever my friends talk about not getting with their siblings I think it's really weird, but then I remember that (at least from my personal experience) I'm the one that's in the minority in terms of sibling relationships.
So I guess I'll ask everyone: what's your relationship like with your siblings? (I think I recall everyone having siblings, but if someone doesn't then: do you wish that you had some?)
I have a beaver tail every time that I go to Ottawa, they are so delicious. My sister actually had a job in the beaver tail shacks that open along the Rideau Canal during the winter. I highly recommend them if anyone here hasn't had them before. They're just one more reason to come visit Canada, haha. : )
Yes, I was the one that hasn't read all the John Green books yet. I hopefully will soon, but I always seem so busy so I'm not sure when I'll get to them. I think I'll read Looking for Alaska next.
And for Deidra/Hunter's question: I can't really remember a lot of the book-to-film movies that I've seen because of my terrible memory. However Ella Enchanted sticks out in my mind as a pretty terrible one. I think a good film adaptation of a book is one that does take a bit of creative rights in terms of how they show what happens, but it still stays true to the story. I read the book after seeing the movie, but let me tell you, they were two completely different stories. I always really liked the movie, so I was excited to read the book when I found it. However after reading the book I was really disappointed at how the movie was. I felt the book was much better and they cut out basically all the good parts or switched them to something else entirely. Pretty much the only thing they kept the same was the fact that the main character has the curse to obey people.
As for a film adaptation that I really liked I would go with Harry Potter just because I can't really think of anything else at the moment. The whole series stuck with the story, but there were also a bunch of little things that were added or changed, most of which I enjoyed or just didn't mind.
