Comebacks

I should not have complained about camp, because just as quickly as it had begun, summer soon ended and I was only left with tattered ballet shoes and horrible regrets.
To make things worse, my sister has now made a new best friend who she devotes most of her free time to. I must say that under the obvious facts that A: I will have no one to play video games with or B: I won't have anyone that understand all of of my inside jokes, which are mostly inside with myself (even she doesn't understand them all), I really do miss her a lot. But, I am happy that she's finally found a great friend. It was bound to happen to one of us.
Sigh. I don't have any friends.
I've just got one...
No I don't.
I can't blame people. It's probably due to the fact that I am SO shy around new people. I can sometimes pull it out of my ass for people of the same gender, but with the opposite sex, I am like a living and breathing awkward turtle. And people seem to take advantage of the fact that my face turns red A LOT. I do have a few comebacks for when someone tells me my face is red, such as:
"Don't come too close, you might catch it."
"Yeah, and yours is blue: it's a party!"
or the highly sophisticated:
"Come on! Have pity on someone with Erythrophobia!"
But these don't always work and most of the time I can't even think of them soon enough.
Like someone will come up to me, maybe, and say, "You don't talk."
I'm freaking dumbfounded, and I'll probably just shake my head and smile.
Then five minutes later during gym I'll think of something good, like, "Neither does your mum, but I don't complain."
And by then it's far too late.
Even I do go up to the person and say something like, "Hey, do you mind saying that thing you said five minutes ago again? I have a really good comeback for it," they just look at me funny and walk away.
Comedic timing: another thing I lack.
Last night my family (except for my dad) had a movie marathon, where we watched four movies in one night. They were:
Never Let Me Go (My sister's choice)--
A desperately beautiful and sad movie with a really cruel idea. I guess I won't give it away if you want to see it but be warned: it may cause you to sob uncontrollably (I did).
Then, we needed a comedy, so we chose Amelie (My mum's choice)--
A really funny and weird movie that has a lot of, um, nudity in it but is also a fun idea. I liked it a lot, and it was the perfect medicine for the rollercoaster of a last movie.
To spice things up, I chose Woman In Black--
It was very annoying because my mum and my sister kept giggling the first half of the movie and how cheesy and cliched it was, ruining any effect I might have gotten. And of course, the endless Harry Potter jokes. "Where's Dumbledore? Maybe he can help." "She must be using the cloak of invisibility." "He can't die, he's the master of death!" "Look, Harry, it's the chamber of secrets", etc.
I did flinch at a few moments, but all in all, it was not as scary as I had [hoped?]. Everything about the weird faces, the spooky house, and the dolls was to be expected. The creepiest part was all of the children killing themselves.. THAT was creepy. And it had a bad ending. Whatever. You can't have everything.
But hey, if you want a little preview:

To finish it off, we all chose Salmon Fishing In The Yemen, which we had all already seen, but it is a funny and cute movie and I am totally OBSESSED with Ewan's accent. You should see it, it's really nice.
So, that was yesterday.
Do you want to hear my favorite songs at the moment?
I know you don't. =)
See you on the flip side.
