Being tender and open is beautiful. As a woman, I feel continually shhh’ed. Too sensitive. Too mushy. Too wishy washy. Blah blah. Don’t let someone steal your tenderness. Don’t allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart. Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by things. Whether it’s a song, a stranger, a mountain, a rain drop, a tea kettle, an article, a sentence, a footstep, feel it all – look around you. All of this is for you. Take it and have gratitude. Give it and feel love.

Jess Day

I fall in love with things pretty easily. Books, music, tv, movies, people, artforms, history, science, poetry, everthing.

But oh man is this show brilliant. It is definitely my favorite.

And really, it’s easy to tell why, I mean, I love glee like crazy, and what it stands for and the type of characters and issues they’re showing on like, popular tv, it’s awesome. But I mean, I’m not in the show, there’s no one there who I can say, that’s how I feel and what I act like and what I could plausibly be like some day.

Maybe in some ways I am more clueless and less clueless than Jess, and I’ve been thinking more and more about teaching high school, rather than middle school, and hopefully I won’t ever fall for someone just because of their hair, but I mean pretty much other than that she’s the closest character to myself I’ve ever seen in tv or movie. I mean, I wish I could say it was Hermione Granger, but what smart girl doesn’t wish that, and I don’t think she embodies me quite as much. And with books there are many characters I relate too and see parts of myselves in, I would have to sift through a lot of memories to see if there’s a clearer vision of me in there somewhere.

But New Girl, wow, it just makes me so happy. My quirky, whimsical, hopeful inner workings are remarkably Jess-like. Maybe that’s why it makes me so happy to watch it. She influences lives the same way I try to.

I could blather on forever about this, so this is it.

movie viewing wish list

perpetualthoughts:

Whip it – because I’m an Ellen Page fan and I like girls who break societal rules

Adam – because it looks charming and nerdy

(500) Days of Summer – because I like stories where the guy is romantic and charming and  the girl is hard to catch (plus there’s something enchanting about Zooey Deschanel’s voice)

Post Grad – because I’ve been thinking about whether I want to go to graduate school and what kind of jobs I’ll be able to get after four years of university

Tonight I checked Fame of the list. Well the plot was a little thin, I really enjoyed it. The performances in it were beautiful, and the whole story was like snapshots of growth and discovery, setbacks and art. There is such talent in this world.

I wrote this in grade 12, and just came across it. The only movie I’ve actually watched is Whip It (fantastic) but I was considering watching (500) Days of Summer again, because I love New Girl.

Anyways, the funny part:

Adam – because it looks charming and nerdy

Adam – because it looks he is charming and nerdy
