I knocked out two birds with one stone tonight...
Overcoming my fear at last, I went to go watch a movie at the theatres all by myself. Sigh. It was actually very awesome.
And I watched The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
Can I be serious for one moment while I say that the cast was absolutely perfect and without a doubt the best movie I have seen in a long time. I was putting off watching this for as long as possible, because I was terrified that the movie would end up ruining everything that this book has done for me. Even knowing that Stephen Chbosky wrote the screenplay and directed it still didn't make me jump up screaming like a fan girl to go watch it.
This book is practically a part of my soul, having it for over 10 years. When I go through my bouts of depression, this book helps me more than Harry Potter did/does. When my best friend attempted suicide/died over seven years ago, this book kept me from going down the same path. This book means the world to me.
The movie has definitely surpassed my expectations. There was not a single moment in the movie that I questioned and I cried in the exact same spots that I do in the book.
It was perfect.
