And, Persephone...

Is not all sexualized and stuff.

But all the junk they threw in there, added to how it was a lot darker and almost totally lacking in humor.... Just turned me off of the movie.

I was BEYOND excited to see it when I found out it was being made.

I ADORE the Percy Jackson books.

I think Rick Riordan is a total genius.

And I waited and waited and waited....

And then I saw the movie.

And it was so disappointing.

They're making the second one, now.

I kind of want to see it.

Because it's a different director.

And I love the books so much, I'm really hoping maybe someone can do them justice in a film.

But I lost my fire on that subject now.

Something always comes up when I'm trying to make a point.

I'm 20 years old, and I recognize that there are things my mom knows best about.

But I also have my own experiences to draw from as well, some more relevant than anything my mom has to offer simply because I've been raised in a different world than she was.

And some just from the time I spent working and living on my own.

So, she lectures me about my all-nighter.

Which, ironically, is my attempt to be responsible.

Because I've messed up my sleep schedule so much in the past week.

And I have work on Wednesday morning at 6.

And there was no way that I was going to be able to go to sleep by 9 tonight if I kept to my current irregular schedule of sleeping.

Didn't want to spend 8 bucks for a bottle of Ny-Quil to knock me out.

And nothing else really works.
