Hello again.

I'm reporting from the fake.

I just saw the movie "Juno" and it was pretty awesome. Really sweet and cute; generally a feel-good movie. However, zoning in on something really unimportant, it made me feel lethargic. Well, mostly restless, in all actuality.

So, there Juno was driving along, pregnant and crying. She eventually reached home, her dad completely nonchalant about the fact that she was 16, and has just gone out with his car well into the night. They have a very enlightening father-daughter chat and then she's off into the darkness again. Like it's an everyday occurance. And it probably is.

I know this movie was fake, and it only helped the script along that she has the ability to do this, but still, it makes me want these freedoms. Above all, I want to go driving at night. I want to go to distant places just because I feel like I have to.

You know, I really want to go to a lake. I want it to be a warmish day (the temperatures realy don't matter, though) and I just want to sit down on the edge and be reflective like all those moments in movies. Nah, I'm joking, but I do want to go to a lake and just sit and take a deep breath and just think. I want to have a time to enjoy life. I don't want to think about anything troubling; all I want to do is think about that moment.

The shitty giant puddles they have in the middle of Central Park doesn't count. I don't give a shit what arguements anyone might give.

In conclusion, I want to get my drivers' licence, grab my boyfriend, and just drive to the closest picture-perfect lake. For once in my life, I'm dying to have something corny, if that counts for anything in the Higher Power's decision whether or not to give it to me.

(But I have been extra good in the past week, albeit a little bitchy.)
