Stupid movies.

[eurydicebound]

So the final project in my short story class was the story "Brokeback Mountain." We didn't just read it, though, we had to watch it too. I did not want to watch this movie--not because I thought it would be bad or that I wouldn't like it, but because I knew it'd probably make me cry. So we watched it, and sure enough, it made me cry--and it didn't just make me cry, it made me cry in the middle of class. There I sit, in the front row (bad planning) with tears running down my face and my nose looking like a giant strawberry parked on my face. And then we had to write! For a grade! As our final writing assignment!

God, that sucked. Please tell me good things that don't involve poor rural areas, distant lovers, or death.

Uuuuuuhhhh...

You've lost a quarter-inch on your waist! Based on your peek-a-boo picture, you've slimmed off quite a bit before that.

Oh man, Brokeback Mountain was a total cryfest for me too. It also made me really angry.

Happy things? See, out in Carnation there is this farm. This farm has two HUGE horses, both a dapple grey color. These horses (percherons) will come up to you and snuffle your hands and your face and bump into you with their huge powerful bodies. They are soft and even though I've never been horse crazy, in that moment I wanted to ride those horses.
So the happy thing here is horses. Horses and little girls all wide eyed and braiding their manes. My Little Pony, but for adult women. Yeah. Horsies.
