It's like I'm on some stupid show like Melrose Place or some shit and I'm the AIDS character. And I tell everyone, "It's okay to be near me, it's okay to talk to me." And then I die. And everybody's at my funeral wearing halter tops and chokers and shit.
Heckle me if you will, but I stand loyal next to my statement that Reality Bites is a good movie. I love it. Sometimes I feel like Lelaina, sometimes I feel like Vicky, I have the same love/hate sentiments toward Troy...I smoke pot and watch the same old sitcoms, I hit up my local gas station within walking distance for snacks, I was forced to work in retail hell, my old apartment I shared with my best friend closely resembled "The Maxi Pad", and on those mornings that it's almost unbearable to get up out of bed, I drag my ass to 7-11 and get a giant Diet Coke Big Gulp to jumpstart my day. No, I didn't model my life after a fucking movie. But those are some of the reasons why putting that movie in the VCR is as comforting as a blanket & a cup of hot cocoa. I've no idea why I was bombarded with memories of Reality Bites today.
Tangent thought: How does Winona score all the awesome boyfriends? For chrissakes, she's got some pretty stellar people on her resume of love...back in the day when she was seriously dating JOHNNY DEPP. Johnny alone is just too much to fathom. Not to mention she also had the priveledge and luck to spend quality time with BECK. Beck, goddammit. Enough said. I know there's been some others in the meantime who have left my memory (with the exception of Matt Damon, who I remember she dated but doesn't really keep with the theme of awesome boyfriends) and isn't she with that Bright Eyes dude? Why does this matter...?
So school starts this week. I'm not quite sure how I feel about that. Usually I'm so excited, but I don't know...the thought of all that work is looming over me and it's bringing a close to my party-like-a-rockstar-with-reckless-abandon summer. It sure has been fun. The last hurrah is this weekend...and I am ready to go! But school will be fine...I'll get back in there and kick some ass like I always do. I just gotta get focused now.
