Apple juice!!!!

"Cinderella Story" is no longer on my list of favorite movies.
And not just because Chad Michael Murray can't act.
But, after watching it once again last night, I realized that Austin is a JERK. He's shallow and stupid and CREEPY.
I mean, he doesn't recognize the girl he's seen at the diner on a regular basis, when she's wearing a dinky little mask. Not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed.
He believes Shelby when she says Sam concocted the whole plan to humiliate Austin. And then he believes SAM should apologize because his pride's been hurt. Let's see, your dad now knows you don't want to go to USC, and everyone hates Sam and is either shunning or ridiculing her. But your pride is more important, Austin.
When he runs over to kiss at the end of the movie, he leaves the game at a very pivotal point, letting down his dad, his school, his friends, and his team!! But at least he got the girl!
>:(
And Carter is SUCH A GOOD FRIEND. My estrogen levels must be REALLY high, because I started bawling when he came and gave Sam a hug after her confrontation with Austin in the locker room. And even if she and Carter are JUST FRIENDS (which they so obviously were), Sam deserves a guy who's nice to her like Carter was! Even Terry, who was "geeky" and therefore didn't deserve to be Sam's boyfriend (even though she wasn't exactly Miss Popularity), was polite and chivalrous, and better than that stupid, misogynistic, commitment-phobic self-obsessed LOSER Austin Ames.
The Prince or Princess quiz was very entertaining, though. Carter is, without a doubt, my perfect prince, but there was some debate over whether Sam or Astrid was my perfect princess. I would normally pick Astrid, but that would mean peace ralleys, indie music, a "totally rad scene", and vegetarianism.
Fun.
Princess Diaries Theories
I thought these all up last night and they sort of make sense.

1. Philippe gets someone pregnant AGAIN (though it was once believed that he was sterile) and marries them, thereby producing a new heir to the throne of Genovia, relieving Mia of her princess duties.
But there's that whole thing about Genovia not being a principality any more, so we'll have to work around that.

2. Rene wins the election (it's alluded to in book #4, so it could happen) and Mia relinquishes her princess duties.

3. Mia, instead of picking JP or Michael, picks neither and decides to wait for her perfect prince to come much later in the future.

4. Mia and Michael get back together (aaaaaargh).

5. Oh no. Oh no, oh no, oh no....this can't BE!!! Some people think Mia and Prince Rene are going to END UP TOGETHER!!
WHY?? That just underminded the ENTIRE series, and that ending would bring to mind "Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement", which was preachy and boring and SUCKED a lot, Garry Marshall. That is, in essence, having her end up with Nick, only Nick is Rene in this case. DANG IT! NO, MEG CABOT, NO!!
And he just knocked someone up, too. What a terrible father!

Aaaagh. That book is coming out SOON.
And FOB's new album came out three days ago.
What a hullabaloo.
