Oh, fuck. I'm so sorry. About everything. And I know I asked you about how the internship was going and then I understood why you didn't want to talk about it, but now I believe I understand even better. It sounds like a bit of a mess ("consecrated", really?). For one, I'm incredibly wary around all men and if one of them was already freaking me out more than usual, I don't even know what I'd do. Probably just go with my gut instinct, although I realise that's not something you can do, if you want to get the job...

Also, that film. What the fuck. I actually really liked the trailer and was looking forward to seeing it (for obvious reasons), but now I think I'll pass. I don't mind it hitting way too close to home, but I draw line at it being passed off as "comedy", something to fucking laugh at and at the characters being cured by love. Bullshit. Bull-fucking-shit. That's not how it works. When I first heard of the film, I was hoping it'd be about how two mentally ill people fall in love and stay mentally ill together. But apparently ( ... )

Yeah... or I can not take the job, but then... I really don't know what to do.
Except for give a call to a psychologist. Except mine left for maternity leave a few weeks ago and I've been reluctant to call the new one, because... because... well. Talking to strangers on phone? No thanks. So I'm basically without a therapist now and even if I wasn't sure how she was helping, she was.

That movie. I know, right? When I first saw it through Tumblr radar I was like, I'm definitely going to see this. And Stephen Fry wrote it was good. I trusted you!!! And then came Julia's angry tweets and I knew I was wrong but... Just wow. After I went sleep yesternight though, I tried to think of it as the characters being... not supposed to be cured of their illnesses, only "moving on" from their old loves. Then again... still why the hell treat it like the illness just went away ( ... )
