I haven't updated this in FO'EVER, really just thinking out loud.
Wow. It's been so long since I've updated. I first created a live journal account because all my friends had live journals, including my boyfriend at the time. I thought this would be how we all communicate when we go our separate ways. I have a face book for that now. But this should be fun.
Hmm...where to start? Well, I'm nineteen. I am double majoring in English: Creative Writing and Psychology with a minor in Film studies. I have absolutely no clue what I am going to do with any of those. But some of the classes seem cool, and it gives me more time to think about what I want to do. I don't have a job, I'm looking but no place I apply to ever calls me back. Loser.
I'm single. And for the first time, I'm content with that. =D People say I haven't changed at all since high school. Maybe I am still a clown. I love cartoons and comics, that hasn't changed. Actually, I love both of those things more than ever before. But I think I am different in other ways.
I'd like to think I'm slowly becoming more mature. I think I am, in some ways. Hopefully...
I feel like I've lost friends since high school. But sometimes I wonder, did I really have more friends back then or was I just surrounded by familiar faces for so long, I didn't feel as isolated.
I almost never see the few friends I have left, I rarely hang out. School Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, then the rest of the week off. I mostly watch movies from the library.
Taking film classes have changed how I watch movies. I find myself thinking more about what is shown on the screen. Every little detail is important because every single thing you see and hear was put there by the director for a reason. There are theorists out there who believe that the director is the 'auteur'(french for author) of the movie. That directors are the true authors of the movies they create. But they don't write the movie, screenwriters do that. Screenwriters are the real writers or authors of the script, right? Directors are signed on by producers, so shouldn't the producer of a movie be the 'auteur'? Are the people who choose what sound to put in the movie the collective auteur of it's sound?
But the director chooses what is shown on screen, how it is shown and why it is shown. It's all so confusing to think about. There isn't really a right or wrong answer. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on the subject.
Strange rant. Well, at least it isn't about Superman.
