Just saw Titanic again since it's back in theaters and I realized something.

I was only 9-ish when that movie first came out, the ripe age to be squealing about how hot Jack Dawson was and how I'd have Leo's babies and all that. Which, that's what I did. But it took me until now, seeing it for the first time in a decade, to realize it wasn't just Jack I watched for. It was Rose too. I realize now that between Rose from Titanic and Danielle from Ever After, my "type" of woman had been cast. I didn't want to /be/ a woman like them, I wanted to be with them. I mean obviously I came to my bisexual realization much earlier than now, but sometimes it's interesting to realize what honed my interest into what it is today.

As the scenes were playing I started to remember things I used to pay attention to as a kid. Like how her red, curly hair was the prettiest hair I'd ever seen, how perfect her lips were and how her breasts swelled while she cried when she was about to jump off the back of the boat in the beginning. I remember thinking about these things when I was young, but obviously not getting it.

Ha. Guess it's true. I was born this way ;)
