How I did it: I first heard about the movie from the site Listverse a few months ago. It was on the "Top 15 Horror Films of the 2000s" list. I thought it was really interesting but I didn't think I'd be able to watch it, so I forgot about it. Then a few weeks ago, I was watching Degrassi with my sister and one of the girls said her favorite movies was Let the Right One In, and I remembered the movie. Anyways, there was a sale at Blockbuster and Let the… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Ummm, well first I was thinking of what I was supposed to be for Halloween, and everyone in my class said they were going to be rockers, or at least, their versions of a rocker. Anyways, I knew that they're costumes would either be store-bought and totally not rocker-ish, or homemade and still not rocker-ish. Someone even said they're rocker costume looked kind of like one of Hannah Montana's outfit. GAG. So, I said, ummmm no I don't thin… Read how I did it…
I feel like I’m back t square one with this. My 11:11 wish made a difference for, like, a day. It still is making a difference…along with something else. Anyways, my class has changed seating and I sit very close to him. In front almost. Ew.
2 days ago on November 11 (11.11) I made an 11:11 wish. I know, I know. It’s juvenile, but who cares? I’m only thirteen! Well anyways, I was wondering ALL day what to wish for because it had to be something BIG and important, since it would be an 11:11 wish on 11.11….you can stop rolling your eyes now.
So then I finally thought of what I would wish for. Actually, I had two possibilities for what I would wish for (brace yourselves)-For him to like me, or for me to get over him. I decided to make my wish based on what song started playing on my iPod when it turned 11:11. If one of my gushy love songs started playing, I’d wish for him to like me, and if a “getting over you” song played, I’d wish for me to get over him.
Well there I was just counting down the minutes, anxious to see which song would play and then suddenly the alarm on my iPod went off and the familiar beginning of 1901 by Phoenix started playing. Which didn’t apply to “getting over you” or gushy love songs.
And that’s when my favorite part of the song started and I realized that I would have to decide what to wish for by myself. A
Then, without even thinking I wished to just get over him. I repeated my wish about 3 times before 11:11 was over, and I swear, the second I decided to make that wish, I felt so…amazing. 1901 was blaring loudly in my ears and I just felt like I could do anything. I was untouchable at that moment, and I really really thought that I could actually do it. That I could actually stop liking him.
And you know what? I honestly think this is a turning point for me. It’s been two days since I made that wish, and my eyes will still occasionally look over in his direction. I still think his eyes are the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. His hair still sits perfectly combed and clean on his head, and yet there’s something different that I can’t exactly explain, and I think that’s a good thing :)
