im in the middle of reading the book The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky and i kind of sound like Charlie typing this, although this isn't the way i talk. in fact, this book was kind of my final push to make this blog.
two other things that keep me going with this blog are Mitchell Davis's youtube channel: livelavalive, and indie rock music like the bands on the side of this page. and if your too lazy to look over the bands are Noah & the Whale, Aberfeldy (Riley Briggs), and then there are the indie rock bands that focus a little more on the rock like Say Anything.
anyways... as im reading this book, im becoming sadder and sadder, and it wasn't until i forced myself to stop reading at part 4 (ending at about 2:45 am) did i admit to myself why. all these girls in this book, Charlie's sister, his part time girlfriend, even the perfect girl in his eyes (Sam), are all self conscious in invisible ways. well, i wouldn't say invisible, but in ways that they hide very well. and they all depend on boys to make them happy, to fill their little voids of emptiness we feel. and finally when i think theirs a movie thats finally going to give me some answers as to why girls live like this, depressingly depending themselves on poor little horny souls (and i shouldn't say that so broadly cuz maybe 1 out of 1000 boys will be innocent.) ok.. maybe i was being a little generous... but no matter - the movie He's Just Not That Into You directed by Ken Kwapis finally looked like a wake up call for females all around the world. nope! now every girl gets their little exception. well i just think that thats the problem! we all think that a prince charming is what we need. well thanks Disney for teaching us well >.< why can't women just stand on their own? why can't we? we're just dependant variables in this big image of life. (or at least the most of us) i for one can't stand by and be like everyone else, but look at me sitting her on a laptop typing my life away. ^.^
oh, and about that slight stab at Disney, don't get me wrong. my favorite movies are The Lion King, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Anastasia (forget thats my name already? (^^) and i grew up around the rest of those movies. it's just that one my teachers started showing us the movie called The Micky Mouse and it introduced me to how hidden Disney keeps it, but their movies can get pretty prejudice! and i saw some weird video studied by random people that pick out every little thing and it sorta freaked me out. this is what i do when i stay home sick from school! watch youtube videos and learn about things that i randomly think about.
