Gravity is working against me.
I went to see Saw IV last night with some Cedarview crew and my very satisfying boyfriend. It was alright but quite honestly, a little overrated. I mean, don't get me wrong: I love horror movies and guts and gore and people getting their legs chopped off because their vigilantes feel that it's necessary but after awhile, it gets old. And yet, it has to be said that they're making two more.
Anthony and I are headed to Busch Gardens tomorrow. Hopefully I won't be tired after watching Lindsey all night. I mean, she goes to bed early but what kind of baby sitter would I be if I fell asleep on the couch. lol.
I was watching Zodiac the other night and it only thickened my love for writing and journalism. I can't wait for the day when I can sit behind a flat screen computer, cup of overbearingly strong yet just sweet enough coffee in my hand, writing the city's news. Yes, it's true. We all have specific goals. Mine slightly different than yours but I'll get there... even if it takes me a little while.
When I read Laura-Jean's blog about wanting to write an autobiography, my brain started running in circles. I told her it's a great idea. She should most definitely jump at the chance to write her story in her own words. She wants to teach people and show them that there's light at the end of the tunnel. I find that extraordinarily admirable. At least she'll be writing truths instead of the over-stimulated fallacies that creep around in our computers on a daily basis. I say she goes for it.
... and then I got to thinking.
All I wanted when things went down was someone to understand. I wanted to spread my word to someone BESIDES LINDSEY and have them say, "Wow. I get that. I'll make sure to look out for that in my relationship and start running when I see similarities." I mean, everyday I talk to people and they're going through something slightly close to what I went through with Tom. I try telling them but honestly, you can only hear so much of, "My boyfriend did the same thing," before you get fed up and exhaustified of hearing how their so much better off. No one wants to hear that. They want to hear THE STORY.
If I had the energy I'd write a mildly comical version of my story... but honestly, I've lived some many things besides Tom. I could write a book on the things I experienced before I EVEN MET HIM and it'd be an amazing book.
I don't know. I'm down with Laura-Jean's idea though. I definitely be at her book signing.
