Watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind again last night (actually, I bought it, so if any of you wish to be enlightened by wonderful cinematography and a crazy amazing plot you may borrow it - and brendo you need not spend time burning and mailing it to me now, thanks though). I think it's one of the only movies that has ever reduced me to the point where I could cry; I did not cry, I don't cry at movies, my dad cries at the first hint of contrived hollywood emotion, but it's more the comment that this movie has on relationships in general that hits me.. You'd really just have to watch it but it's true that unless you've had something like that happen, unless you've been there and taken the leap and fallen and then found yourself smashing into reality again, you wouldn't know what the movie's about. .. it's about why it's worth it to feel like you've put your heart and soul into a meat slicer when things eventually go wrong at the end of a relationship.. it's about the moments you wouldn't trade for a million dollars and the time taken to gaze into another person's eyes.
lol and the planets of the world allign themselves again. maybe? At least finals are over, and the biggest survival act of the last four months is over. Now all I have to survive is wandering through many different airports on saturday and eventually ending up at U Laval in Quebec City.. then I have to survive learning how to talk entirely in french for five weeks.. then I have to survive getting a real job in leth.. lol or perhaps "enjoy" is a better word than survive. I really actually am enjoying life and other people and even living with myself right now has been alright, however the continual lack of time and running to beat the countdown to all these deadlines has been exhaustive but that's what life is all about - we're trained to jump through hoops, without this circus nothing would be exciting.
