Muppets Take Manhatten!

last book i've read: Sula by Toni Morrison, for gender studies 100
music currently caressing my ears: the Snatch OST, specifically Dreadlock Holiday by 10cc (it rocks)
general mood: peaceful, accomplished
quote i just thought of: "Sigue bailando, mi amor.... tu cuerpo...." --Latins, off the Spanish CD Roxana made to remember Mexico by.

I just bought two DVDs, The Red Violin and The Muppets Take Manhatten. I cannot wait to watch the muppets again. The last time I saw that movie, I was probably 10 years old or so. And it was a recording. Man, those were good times. Michael and I were mesmerized, we loved it. Recently, I've been attempting to reconstruct certain parts of my childhood that were not only memorable, but things that struck me and have made me who I am today. Such as the muppets. I've been nostalgic, but it helps me remember the good times as a kid.

If there was one thing I wish I could do, it would be to be young again. With the same innocence and naivety I was once all too familiar with. I am still gullible in lots of ways, but I am certainly more skeptical and cynical than I was even when I first started this blog. I guess it takes a couple of failures and some heavy burdens before one really learns what is important and worth fighting for in this life. I wish I had fought more for some of my friendships. Those have always been something I need, even if it's only a few good friends. I used to be so judgmental. I'm glad I got over that fast. I attempt not to judge, but if you hurt me, it's hard for me to forget. If you're close enough to me, I'll tell you when you're hurting me; otherwise I will probably internalize it and disregard it, until it sneaks up again and bites me in the ass. And that's another thing I've learned - not dealing with something is much more threatening and painful than ignoring it. But I've never been comfortable with confrontations.... never had a problem with honesty though.

Just looked at the time. I have been spending the night in unproductive ways.... it's time to curl up and read. I've got so much to read.... gotta love Lawrence.
