Heck yeah
I am super pumped about this week. I like all things.
I have a job!! I'm working at Lambuth Memorial for the summer program. Kids ages 5-12, y'all just get excited. Actually, I'm a little scared. I have to be with them for 8 hours, 5 days a week. Will they have fun with me? I hope so. It's no money, but I'm in it for the experience.
We are going to see Spiderman 3 this friday, and while I'm excited I can't help but be a touch concerned. We were watching the second one last night and I'm pissed that the chick still needs to be saved. Yes, she does do the whole-saving the man from himself and a sad existance alone, bringing him back to humanity- kind of crap, but how often is the woman physically able to stand alone? Hardly ever. Once again women is nurturer and man is savior. I also don't appreciate how almost all super heroes (at least those that are mainstreamed today) MUST equate their special "powers" with some sort of sexuality. They move, strategize, and blast men away with their unique back-bending, coquetish winking, long legged seducing bodies. The male super hero is wholly masculine, even dorky peter parker suddenly transforms into this picture perfect male specimen, falling on the side of macho. When I asked Chip why there wasn't an equal female to Spider Man, he said there was, "Spider-girl." How depressing, an adolescent (of course).
My mom is coming on monday and friday I'm going to the dentist to get fitted!
I can NOT wait for the summer. I love the newness of it. I'm determined not to let anything small and stupid ruin it. I am going to bask in the solitude and read and play and love and not give a shit about anything else. No people but the ones that LOVE ME around.
