Thanks so much for your support to all who commented in my last entry; it means a lot to me, really. I've been feeling much better since, and I'm starting to better understand what's been bothering me and make positive changes.
Here is a meme...
Comment & I'll give you a letter; then you have to list ten things you LOVE that begin with that letter. Afterwards, post this in your journal & give out some letters of your own.

Today has been a very bad day. I feel like an emotional mess; I realize this could be PMS and so I should take it with a grain of salt and all, but something about how I feel lately... It doesn't feel like just a bad mood, like it usually does. It feels more real. It feels like some of the things I really wanted in life are slowly slipping away, and I feel so lost because it seems like this always happens to me; everything falling apart just as I was getting things together like I wanted, and nothing seems to help putting the pieces back so to speak. It's like there is this emotional block; it literally feels that way, like being pushed back down. I'm sorry I'd rather not go into details right now, but I might later. I'm not so good at being direct in speech often. I'm just such a perfectionist. I'm sorry I'm so avoidant also.
I'm sorry over the weekend I always wind up avoiding it here by the way; for some reason then in particular I get all consumed by pretty much everything else. lol No but...um. I did watch Batman and Batman Returns, and... I love Selina Kyle!!! ♥ I concur with the majority, I don't like the Penguin. But it's not that he's scary; he's just irritating, to me personally (though I do feel bad about his background)... I wish it had only been Catwoman against Max Shreck as the villains. Michael Keaton is a really great Batman as well. In the first when the burglars are hiding out on the roof and you see the silhouette of his cape in the background... He's just so good. He's so good at being this...feared shadowed figure, heh...and then turning right around and coming across as this harmless playboy. I feel bad saying this because I love Christian Bale, but, if in some parallel universe two eras could collide and the interrogation scene in TDK could be reenacted with Keaton and Ledger, that would be intense. ♥ Now I just need to rent the next two films and I'll have seen them all.
Yesterday I saw Hamlet 2 which I had really been looking forward to, and I loved it. I want to see it again. :p If you can imagine this it feels kind of like a cross between Rushmore and Monty Python, heh. Steve Coogan's character is adorable, and Amy Poehler kicked serious ass as usual, too. ;)
I also did buy more of Virginia Woolf's books, specifically To the Lighthouse and Mrs. Dalloway... Hm, I'm most excited about reading Mrs. Dalloway first. :) I had also kind of been wanting this book for a little while... I started reading it at B&N and thought it sounded rather interesting and helpful, so it should be nice to read. And the day before yesterday my dad had to buy a new laptop for my younger sister and he had coupons for music so in addition to the best of Cohen album I got I now have his first, because I'd particularly liked listening to his folk songs thus far, especially The Stranger Song. ♥ |

( A couple of quizzes )
I've finally seen the Wayne's World movies, heh...See last weekend my dad and I happened to turn on Comedy Central when the first was on, and it looked so off the wall and funny that I thought I would have to see it. Then we went to Target later and he found one of those DVDs that have two movies on one, this one having both the Wayne's World movies. He'd been on a business trip all week and it'd happened to be only me in the house, and the day before yesterday I watched both. My god, they are hilarious. I have to say I laughed even more at the second I think because the plot is just so off the wall, lol (all the parts with Jim Morrison, oh god...) and, Drew Barrymore is in it! (I love her.) I thought I'd heard she was in it but I wasn't sure. She played a Swede, lol, too cute... "Since you have sacrificed your health for knowledge of my country I find you very attractive and hope to make love to you." lmao I don't give the SNL lineup from the early 90s enough credit, they really are very funny. Speaking of which Chris Farley was in both, hee! I love early 90s "dude" movies, lol...
( More movie things... )
Last night after returning a movie I finally rented the first couple of films in the first Batman series, so I'll finally get started on those, heh! I have to admit I'm particularly excited about seeing Batman Returns, because from what I gather it's sick and creepy, lol...I wonder if the Penguin will give me nightmares for a week? XD
And, afterward I got this from Best Buy. I'd been wanting it for about a week and I was going to order it off the Internet because it'd have been so much cheaper, but for some reason I just much prefer to go out and buy things in person with cash and the whole lot. Anyway I wasn't ever really familiar with him, I'd wanted to be but I just wasn't sure where to start, lol, but honestly when I watched Secretary they played I'm Your Man during a montage scene and I thought, Oh, that's a Leonard Cohen song, right? and then I mostly sampled that album but I liked what I'd heard off others so I just bought this album first. He's really amazing, of course (just saying, he reminds me a lot of Nick Cave ♥); I think it's neat how his style has evolved so much over time, and he is one of the best lyricists, ever. When I get more familiar I might post some of my favorites here. ♥
I'm sorry I'm so long winded, lol, just all these things I think to post sometimes... |

Everything, really...I see it as the meaning of life itself, this creative force that harmonizes and makes life as moving as it can be. I think it's the noblest thing, just to love. I guess I've always felt basically the same way about it, but I'm always interested in hearing others' views on it and views that differ from mine have altered my perception in some important ways.
It's mostly just been me here this week and I'd said in my previous entry I was going to take full responsibility of the animals. It was fine at first but I'm not used to it and I'm starting to get a little cranky and tired at times. I was kind of worried this was going to be one of those days where, yesterday was perfect and today was the complete opposite side of the coin...insecurities and perfectionism and general me isms...but actually as with everything else basically when I withdraw from responsibilities for like a few hours and then go back to them it's all fine, lol.
I'm considering applying to ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) gothamrating...I've gotten leery about stamping comms now because I get worried I won't know enough to vote on apps confidently, but I've developed a pretty good understanding of the characters. I'm not sure yet, though, but I did fill out an app in case. |
