Another Day

ROGER
Excuse me if I'm off track
But if you're so wise
Then tell me - why do you need smack?
Take your needle
Take your fancy prayer
And don't forget
Get the moonlight out of your hair
Long ago you might've lit up my heart
But now the fire's dead - ain't never gonna start
~*~"Another Day" RENT

Wow... Amazing movie. I have a few things I want to say though before I get to that. I got to thinking on the ride home, so now I just want to get that out into the world. I'm not going to explain right now. Ask questions - then I'll explain.

Sometimes it's good to just listen - it gets you thinking.

Don't be afraid to be who you are.

Be persistent, even if you think you will embaress yourself around a staff person or something. Chances are, you will never see them again.

Always be working toward what you want to do. You'll get there some day.

Find yourself, and then draw yourself a map so you don't get lost. If people turn into obstacles and get in your way, don't let them tell you what to do or where to go. You know where you are.

So anyway. That's just what I was thinking about. Now I'm going to watch Queer Eye, so I will continue my post in a moment.

Back. Okay um... What was I gonna say? I don't remember anymore... Oh yeah. So the movie.

The movie was fantastic. Absolutely amazing. I mean, Johnny was hot as always, but it was a good movie. That doesn't always happen. (Secret Window, for example) Yeah. Finding Neverland was just really great. I cried at the end! It was sad. Then the screenwriter answered a few questions, and that was pretty cool. There was an afterparty thingy that we went to, but didn't stay too long. It was a fun atmosphere. Very Hollywood-esque I think.

But now I'm going to discuss the main point of the movie. When we get to the next commercial. Ok. So as I was almost saying. So the whole movie focuses on imagination, and growing up. But not just kids NOT growing up, more about everyone growing up. And I kind of just got to thinking about it... Did I grow up too fast? I don't know. I mean, all the adults I meet always say I'm mature for my age. But what does that mean? Did I miss out on something that everyone else got? I enjoyed my childhood... And I got it all, right? I mean, how do I know? Am I trying to be too much, too soon?
And imagination... Creativity can be anyone's salvation. So I was thinking about J.M. Barrie's imagination, and how he spent so much time writing, and that it was just what he wanted to write. And on the car ride home I decided "That's it - I'm gonna do my own thing. Totally 100% me. Because why not?" So I'm gonna be done spending time with people I don't really like. And if that means I end up with 2 friends, fine. But I'm going to spend my time with drama, dance, and writing. I'm going to keep up my poetry, and write the new story I've had rattling around in my brain. And it will be mine... just mine. And no one will see it until I have a first draft finished. Perhaps I'll end up a teenage hermit. Tough luck. You don't like it? I don't care anymore. I never really did, but somehow I still ended up hanging out with people who didn't really know me. So now that's over.
Wow... I started this at like 11:45 and now it's 1:15. It took an hour and a half... cause I'm watching Queer Eye!
