My favorite quote from my favorite movie, Harold and Maude
“Maude: I like to watch things grow. They grow and bloom and fade and die and change into something else. Ah, life!
I should like to change into a sunflower most of all. They're so tall and simple. What flower do you like to be?
Harold: I dunno. One of these maybe.
Maude: Why do you say that?
Harold: Because they're all alike.
Maude: Oh but they're not! Look, see, some are smaller, some are fatter...some...some grow to the left, some to the right. Some even have lost some petals. All kinds of observable differences! You see, Harold, I feel that much of the world's sorrow comes from people who are this...yet...allow themselves to be treated as that.
”
And some context so that it makes more sense:
In other news:
+ Srsly, what DID happen to all the good black sitcoms?! Everything is whitewashed as fuck.
+ SKINS SEASON 4 VIDEO THING. MORE THOMAS, YAY!
+ My left wrist bone itches.
+ DUDE, I'M SICK OF ALL THESE VAMPIRE. A NEW VAMPIRE MOVIE IS COMING OUT THIS MONTH. JUST STOP.
+ I ALMOST FORGOT! MAD MEN!
Betty in Italy was HOOOOOOT. And the role playing! But lolz, Connie Hilton was the biggest cockblock EVAR.
SALLY! YOU REALLY WANT SOME LOVIN. Carla was not takin those white kids fighting either.
SO PEOPLE THINK PETE RAPED THE GERMAN WOMAN? I...thought the whole situation was really really sketch but I didn't think he actually raped her.
Either way:
Next week should be interesting too.
Mmmk my friend Courtney from NYU called me so I've gotta go chat with her. Bye bbs!
ETA: Oh yes, I forgot! I was in quite the fic conundrum but I figured it out. My AU is obvs set in the late 60s and of course black people are going to be referred to as Negros in the dialogue. So like, I was thinking, "Hm, what about in the narrative?" an I decided to use negro in the narrative too for consistency. Yeah.
