I just saw that movie on here! On Demand and I think it was quite possibly one of the best movies I’ve seen in the gay community. In English, it means “You’ll Get Over It, You’ll See.“
Tyler says that gay porn has better storyline than gay cinema and where I can agree with some movies, I think this one did an exceptional job.
It’s a french movie following a senior, Vincent, in high school. He’s already come to terms that he’s gay, that’s revealed when you see him having occasional sex with an older gent, Bruno. But he hasn’t admitted it to the world, why? He’s a role model for everyone in high school, from being academically fit to being the star player of Chasis, the school’s swim team. He has two best mates, Noemie and Stephane (accents on the first e of the names). Noemie is his friend that he goes to for support, who falls in love with him and after a little drunk escapade…well use common sense. Meanwhile Stephane is one of his team mates on the swim team.
Everything starts to turn around when a new kid, Benjamin, enrolls into the school and they encounter one another sporadically (or I seem to think the kid did some mini-stalking…). When Vincent decides to kiss Benjamin, Benjamin panics and walks away however some of Vincent’s team mates saw Benjamin go into Vincent’s apartment. They get into a mini-fight and Ben ends up saying something he didn’t really mean. Thus begins to turmoil of being forced to come out.
I really liked how they showed high school life, what can actually happen and how different people felt. The girl who he had sex with, his best friend not knowing, his coach, his teachers, his brother and his parents. I could relate to some parts of it, others I couldn’t (thank god I didn’t have sex with Lilith of Amber!).
I give it a 4 out of 5. There were some parts of the movie that were “eh…?” But I really recommend it.

Life has been really…hectic. I just lived through my midterm week, which was kind of irritating because it should have been this week and we should’ve had an extra week to review in class and learn exactly what would be on the midterm but for some reason it wasn’t. The plus side of this is that I now have all of next week off, minus Monday, but what sucks? I’m in the musical so I have rehearsal on all those days, however all of them are around 3p so I can sleep in.
I actually just finished the chem midterm, the second part of it. He made it a take-home so that makes it really easy and nice for us, granted the questions are a bit tricky and they’re directly from IB. I wouldn’t be so bitchy if I didn’t forget my notebook during saturday rehearsals, thank god my teacher started this IM thing. I got another copy and I redid whatever I started, the rest I focused on chemistry majors, textbooks and internet.
I’m scared that I failed Spanish, getting a 74 on the grammar section kind of scares me. I think I did well on the other parts, but 25% of 74 just isn’t a lot. I know I could’ve studied better, but truth is, I completely forgot that the midterm was last week and -sighs-
No English midterm, no History midterm, no Theater Arts midterm. Thank God.

I almost had a nervous break down because my Theater Arts teacher released the PPA or Oral Assessment information, and that now means I have…28 days to review one of three plays and script it the way I would if I was a director.
On top of memorizing all my lines for the play as well as choreography and notes.
On top of preparing for my Spanish Oral next month, which isn’t that far away.
On top of rereading Wuthering Heights, Macbeth, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and three packets of Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson and William Blake; all of this for my English Independent Oral Commentary.
On top of making yearbook deadlines.
A little stressed. No, that’s an understatement. INCREDIBLY STRESSED.
Because of all this I’ve come to realize that I won’t have that big of a social life and that I most likely won’t have the time to go boy hunting and perhaps find a nice fuck in the city. It’s rather unnerving because I’m not use to no social life let alone not HAVING time to boy hunt. Shrugs. The pains of growing up.

Little Jess’s birthday party was yesterday and it was at an ice skating rink, which is quite possibly one of the greatest party ideas. Major props to her for thinking of that, now if only it wasn’t at night time on a day where it was frigid with high winds. She had no powers over that so I don’t blame her…
…even though it was cold, it was incredibly fun. I found out I’m better at ice skating than I thought, but I can’t go backwards but I can spin and skate on one leg while turning. So hah!

Yay, and update! I sort-of want to see the movie, but French people make me laugh, always, so I might snicker a little at the wrong spots. Stress/midterms suck, boo, as does not having a decent fuck. But, on the bright side, last midterms of HS! Lucky Duck…
