breathe, stretch, shake


OK, I haven't been studying all day. Or at all, at any point today. I'm still trying to get my head around being back here, with all the new realizations and epiphanies I've had over my four days away. I mean, I might not even be coming back here, and that is starting to terrify me, because I am nothing if not a compulsive worrier. But me and Shaun? We don't have anything to worry about, because even when he's cussing me out he's too cute to break up with over the fact that we may be a long distance couple next year. And by that of course, I mean that I love the guy, not hopelessly, not madly, but surely.


Summer: I woke up one morning and I just knew.
Tom: Knew what?
Summer: What I was never sure of with you.

Yeah, I saw 500 Days of Summer two nights ago, and I am decidedly out of love with Zooey Deschanel; this is unfortunately because Joseph Gordon-Levitt acts her off the screen in every. goddamn. scene and her manic pixie dream girl act falls so completely short, and just grates. Granted, her lines were awful; her characterization was one of the worst things about this movie. And he's wringing his lines for every drop of emotion but so skillfully that it breaks your heart as you watch his face, he's falling back in love and oh, it hits just right. There are some truly beautiful bits in this movie, and the ones that fall short do so mainly because of my FORMER HOME GIRL'S abysmal acting, and terribs lines. Soundtrack is excellent, I've been cranking it for a couple of weeks now :) The girl who plays Tom's sister is fucking fantastic, I love her, she reminds me of Dru.
