let me sign for you

Christmas at home. i was so happy to be home...yet i feel so sad. i think i am all over the place at the moment. feeling happy then feeling rubbish, it sucks. Christmas is nearly here!! lots of fun to look forward to! i cannot wait!! i will get to spend some time with my sister before she goes back to work. present giving. baking. friends and family coming to visit. Christmas movies. oh so much to look forward to!
i went to see twilight for the second time last night...oh how i love Robert. my friend gave me a twilight poster, which made me smile so much. i am hoping that i still get the twilight soundtrack for Christmas..i am in love with Robert's singing. i think he has a wonderful voice.
i really wanna see robert's movie; How to Be. it looks amazing, you must watch the trailer if you have not already seen it. it looks like my kind of movie, and Robert is in it, so that helps. the film is about a 20-something guy (Art) who gets dumped by his girlfriend and then moves back home with his parents. and then he hits a quarter-life crisis. Art uses inheritance money to indulge in retail and new age therapies only to end up enlisting the help of an eccentric self-help guru, Dr. Ellington. its about Art's painfully funny journey to define his existence. its at american film festivals at the moment, and i hope we will be able to see it over here very soon. :Dhttp://www.howtobemovie.com/presskit/
i also got tagged by everone need an anchor... and i will do that on the next post. :)
