The box

Tonight I watched the movie "The Box" with Cameron Diaz. It was one of those stupid movies that you want to stop watching but you can't. If you are unaware of this movie it is about a family that receives a box on their door step. They get to make a choice either kill somebody and receive a million dollars or they can decided not to push the button on the box. In the movie the Norma ,Cameron Diaz, and Aurthur Lewis, James Marsden, decide to push the button. This unravels many different events. The only things that made me keep watching that movie is that I wanted to see what happened to the main characters because of their actions. The main thing that I did not like about the movie is that it is about aliens. Another things that bothered me about this movie is that Cameron Diaz tries to have an accent in it and it is the WORST fake accent I have ever heard in my life. I also did not like is that it seemed as if everyone was under the control of the aliens and they all got bloody noses. I’m not sure about all of you but I would save myself the hours and twenty minutes of watching this horrible move.

More about my family

So as I told you previously about my family problems I now have more. This weekend I thought for sure my mom was going to leave my step dad. We found out that he refused a drug test because he was not clean. This was not the only job that he lost because he decided to use drugs. He lost one job because his pipe feel out of the car and his boss saw it. He seems to think that smoking pot is okay to do. Personally I think that it is only okay when you are in high school and do not have a family to support. I understand that most kids experiment with it. The only things that I do not understand is why he would be stupid enough to continue to do it when he knows that he could lose his job because of it. When we found this out it made us even anger. Before he lost his job he would usually ask my mom for about 150 bucks every week for “gas” and “food” we found out this weekend that he was using that for drugs. I just wish that someone could explain to me how someone could be so stupid to put his family through hell for a drug that is not even addictive. Along with finding out that he was not clean we also found that he would soon be going to jail because he is not paying his child support. I think that maybe him going to jail for six months will teach how stupid his decisions are.

god i hate snow....

Since Friday night I have been stuck in the house with my parents. I have the type of family that argues all the time so this whole weekend that is all that I heard. This weekend my parents argued about my stepfather losing his job and how ever since then we have been having major financial difficulties. My father lost his job because he refused to take a drug test. This has made my entire family very angry. I think that it is bull crap that I still live at home with my parents and I am already stressing about money. As I was growing up I was never one of those families that had a lot of extra money but we had enough to keep us happy. Now that he lost his job we don’t even have enough to keep us happy. My mother and I cannot even trust him anymore. We don’t think that he is trying hard enough to find another job. It also makes me angry that he thinks that he should be able to lay in bed all day. He always tells me well you don’t do anything and all I can say back is that I did not screw over my family and I’m trying to get an education. I am so tired of always arguing and stressing. I know everyone says that when you turn eighteen you are an adult but I’m more of an adult than many other kids my age. I’m still not out on my own and the bills that my parents asked me to pay I do. He does not even have any income coming in. I get fifty dollars to spend on myself a month and the rest goes to bills that I have to pay. I don’t understand what else he expects me to do I just want to be the teenager that I was never able to be growing up.

Jennifer's Body

Hello everybody
This weekend I watched a movie called Jennifer’s Body. I thought the movie look really creepy when I saw the previews but, it only has some creepy parts. It has Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried. In the movie Megan Fox plays Jennifer Check and Amanda Seyfried stars as Needy Lesnicki. In case you have not heard of the movie it was about a girl name Jennifer who gets possessed because she is given as a virgin sacrifice to the devil. She is given to the devil by a band called Low Shoulders. The lead singer of the band thought for sure that she was a virgin when in reality she was not. The night that she was possessed she appears in her best friend Needy’s kitchen with blood all over her. After she is possessed she starts to kill her male classmates. One night while Needy was one hear way home she hits Jennifer while she is all bloody. Then that night Jennifer shows up in Needy’s bedroom and tells her the whole story. I’m not going to tell you anymore about the movie because I do not want to ruin the rest for you. This was one of those movies that makes you yell at the television screen at points. While at other parts it makes you laugh even though it most likely is not meant to. I would definitely recommend this movie, but make you sure you watch it in the dark.

Hello

Hi everyone my name is Brittney. When my mother first found out that she was pregnant with me so was going to give me up for adoption. My adoptive parents were going to name me Hannah but when my mother had me she completely changed her mind. When my parents were trying to think of my name she started shouting out names and when she found one that sounded good she picked it. Another interesting fact is that I have an older sister who is named Ashley and a two younger brothers named Cohen and Cooper. Before my brother cooper was born our names were ABC.
