Frankly my Dear...

So I just finished watching "Gone With the Wind" last night. It was a two night ordeal. I am 24 and have never seen this movie. While to many this would be 'no big deal', to many other's it is a certain travesty. What are my thoughts on the movie you ask? Well, let me just tell you. First of all I am incredibly impressed with the effects and general 'vast-ness' of the film. I was particularly impressed with the 'wounded soldier scene' where Scarlet flees the hospital and goes out into the street where there are virtually thousands of wounded and dying soldiers. Wow! The special effects (superimposed images) can hardly be compared to today's technology, but I couldn't help but laugh at some of the carriage and horse riding scenes. I absolutely adore Scarlet's character. Vivian Leigh's eyes are so incredibly expressive, it was such a joy to watch. Rhett Butler was so incredibly charming without being overly cheesy. His dimples are lovely, *swoons* Don't even get me started on the pathetic-ness of Ashley *wrinkles nose* I loved the movie plain and simple. I didn't like the ending though, not at all. Someone could have WARNED me! Sheesh. "Oh Tara..Tara *rolls eyes*
Work is still......not so much fun. We are remodeling and that is ALWAYS a pain. There is crap everywhere which is making people 'snippy' and hateful. Hopefully everything will be finished by this weekend and people will perk up. Keep your fingers crossed for me. If it doesn't I will most certainly be put in jail for murder.

    Gone With The Wind was incredible! Honestly, I thought it was one of the best movies I've seen in a very long time. I like that it WASN'T the ending you expected. I think for those times that was rather good though I'm starting to think I misjudged old movies because I saw another one called THE INNOCENTS (based on Turn of the Screw) and the ending was anything but happy. All the same, Vivian Leigh was a genius. I Think that she fit the part perfectly and that it would be hard for me to imagine Katherine Hepburn in the role. (She insisted she should be the one to play it! Infact, she said the role was meant for her...to which the director bluntly replied that he could not imagine Rhett chasing her for 10 years. OUCH!) Speaking of Rhett...I'm with you there. He was most definitely charming and...well charming. I can't say that he's HANDSOME necessarily but there is definitely something about Clark Gable. His eyes are fairly impressive. His dimples ARE cute but mostly it's the way he carries himself in this movie. He was ten times better than droopy old Ashley. Ashley and Melanie were meant for each other though I Even warmed to Melanie after a while. Anyway....We'll haev to tackle another classic movie soon. That was so much fun!

Lost Girl

Lost girl protects what is precious to her Can you say the same for yourself sir Hidden pockets of misery and divine Islands of hope if only they could shine Lost girl pushes away heartfelt love Not deserved, bloodied and shoved Unexplainable expectations she's given A heart not beating, held broken, riven Lost girl bites back urges to cry A scream past parted lips, only a sigh Shaking inside, flying apart, unraveling Logic and reason, following, traveling Lost girl can't tread water any longer Deep breath, under, float, stronger Leave behind all that exists here Keep it safe, hidden from fear Lost girl wants to turn back, embrace Behind closed eyes, only her face Accept what's been said and done Move forwards, towards the rising sun

Losing Money

That's what my bosses are doing today. They make us work on Memorial Day and then question why we aren't busy. But hey, why should I care? I'm getting paid to sit here and read. It's just that sometimes I can't help feeling I'm stuck in a Saturday detention. Doesn't help that half of the employees called in 'sick' today. Maybe I'm just jealous and bitter. I did have a wonderful weekend though! We went to the lake on Saturday and couldn't have asked for better weather. Had a BBQ, soaked up some sun, went home and slept. I watched Trainspotting while I unpacked some more boxes. It was disturbing to say the least and the baby, TRAUMATIZING. Johnny Lee Miller is absolutely adorable though. On Sunday we went to the theater and saw Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End . I was a little 'iffy' about it because I had read it was over 2 1/2 hours long. The second one wasn't very good in my opinion, but I decided to give this one a ...

So this is INCREDIBLY rambly...just had to get some things out! Life is.... interesting I feel..... everything One moment I feel very adult-like. I have responsibilities, a career (even if it's one I don't like). I have bills to pay and I'm budgeting my money. I make wise choices and investments. I help people with their problems and I am a shoulder to cry on. I fix things and I'm in complete control. I know how the world works and I feel comfortable with that. In between this breath and the next I'm on my ass. Things aren't like that at all. Am I just fooling myself? Is it a coping mechanism for us because we are so programed to think that way? Do we really believe we have to be in control of everything? The world is constantly changing, like the ocean. We are constantly changing. I have a childlike desire to see and experience everything. Good or bad, it doesn't matter. I want to feel pain, extreme pain along with happiness and complete joy, e...
