Birthday Memory
Cindy requested a birthday memory from our youth. Here was mine:
For my third birthday, my parents had a big party at our house filling our house with their work friends and their work friends' children, who I hated. I remember thinking, goddamnit! I don't know any of these people and this day is supposed to be about me! This is a stupid party that is all about and for my parents and the annoying people in their lives. So I hid out in the basement and no one looked for me until it was time to do the cake. The cake was had an oversized heart-shaped chocolate on top, and I remember thinking, "Chocolate!!" And of course I forgot all of my inflamed angst, because let's face it, I was three years old and incapable of sustaining an emotion for any length of time. *Bonus memory from same party:* One of my dad's friends gave me a mylar balloon with Mickey on it and it stayed inflated for years, basically until I threw it away. The wonders of plastic.
My cousin told me after the bloom of my adolescence that I was quite scary to talk to as a child. "You were like a mini-adult. It definitely threw you off." Haha. Precocious feelings of disenfranchisement.

Ugh. So there was a guy I was seeing from December to February this year. I started treating him like he was a pathogen and I was a white blood cell so he broke up with me in February. It was definitely a good move for both of our sakes, but I still cared about him a lot and wanted to hang out with him. We did one post-breakup ramen run and then he ignored my emails asking if we could hang out or watch a movie sometime. He was a screenwriter. A not-as-yet successful one that hated his job... He had a movie scheduled to be filmed, with Liam Neeson and the director of "Tale of Two Sisters" in his American debut directing, but you know how Hollywood works. And of course, Liam Neeson dropped out. And ARNIE expressed interest. Now it's billed for 2013 and went up 358% in popularity on imdb !! I think as the novelty freakshow of Arnie's return to the silver screen, it could gross maybe 80 domestically and at least 150 overseas. Andy definitely stands to make at least a million on it if Mr. Schwarzenegger follows through. My coworker was saying, "people are okay with him here, but people hate him everywhere else." Yeah right! They call him freaking "Shuwachan" in Japan they love him sa goddamn much. UGHUGH. I'm sending evil beams to this movie.
