Maybe my movie isn't over, I say, because sometimes moviemakers trick the audience with a false bad ending, and just when you think the movie is going to end badly, something dramatic happens, which leads to the happy ending. This seems like a good spot for something dramatic to happen, especially since it's my birthday.

My other friends are in music relaxation class, which I do not attend, because smooth jazz makes me angry sometimes.

The world will break your heart ten times till Sunday,that's guaranteed
