Comment and I'll pick three of your interests and three of your icons to 'splain in your journal.
Panic picked the following:
Interests
fucking republicans - it's an entry that I wrote in the wayback about how conservative men are always SO attracted to me. I like how it can either be read as fucking republicans! or fucking republicans.
nights of cabiria - One of my all time favorite movies ever. And the source of my intense love of Giulietta Masina. She has the most expressive face in the history of ever. Because of that love, chocobotkid and I have formed a bond of cement. All I can say is, rent it or buy it or best yet - see it at an arthouse theatre.
saint dymphna - Female Patron Saint of the Irish, of the mentally afflicted and of victims of rape and incest. In Gheel, where she is said to have been murdered by her father - a pagan king with incest on his mind - the inhabitants have a centuries-old practice of inviting institutionalized people into their families as a part of their cure.
Icons
rat -
Just a google image search on the word 'Zorah' I love it. It is a pic from a pet cemetery.
matilda -
Luc Besson! I overidentify with Mathilda, a girl who had to grow up too fast and who represses all emotions but rage. I think her coping mechanism - dogging a hitman until he trains her - is actually one of the more healthy responses to the chaos she has in her life. I love how she falls in love with Leon and he responds with caring for her as a child. She does the best she can with what she has and seeks out people who can help her. Which is the difference between surviving and not.
aren't you cle-vah -
(I always pronounce it "cle-vah"!) So do I! That's a school picture of Pauline Parker, played by Melanie Lynskey in Heavenly Creatures. During her trial for matricide, the media used this picture to show what a misfit, sullen, bad example of a girl Pauline was. It was code for her suspected lesbianism which was believed to explain just how a girl could murder her mother. I think the picture sums up her story, with the beaming girls on either side and her burying her chin in her chest. She felt like an outcast and like she was superior at the same time. In the movie, she is entranced by her friend Juliet's glamorous, intellectual parents and believes that if her mother is dispatched she will be adopted by them and travel the world as Juliet's sister. Juliet's mom says "Aren't you cle-vah!" in her lovely British accent and Pauline soaks it up like sunlight. She thinks someone finally understands her. Poor Pauline. I really do feel sorry for her.
