Two Thoughts
Aug. 31st, 2005 06:31 pm1) I saw Ghostbusters the other day with Juggler. It was pretty cool. I need to re-watch 'The Last Unicorn'. Next time I'm really depressed, I need to continuously watch 'The Last Unicorn' and 'Kung Fu Hustle'.
1b) I read something to the effect of, 'relationships are about tolerating others' imperfections, and hoping they tolerate ours' the other day on the poly lj group. I think it's relatively accurate, even if I do revel in imperfections from time to time.
2) It's really weird/interesting to see how many people keep relationship-ending info, whether decisive or not, a secret. You may think this is written about you, and it isn't; there are a ton of weird things of this sort in my mental space lately, but the thing that triggered the realisation was remembering how a friend concealed it from me abotu two years back or so. Beginnings of relationships are announced with fanfare, but the endings? They feel too much like a failure, I guess. I've felt the desire to keep that sort of thing quiet, but never gone as far as deliberate concealment.
2b) This entry finished much later, cause I socialised with my new roommate for a bit.

I also think that maybe cop-out was the wrong word: Clearly I'd be lying if I said that I love everyone for all their flaws all the time - so I'm guilty of having to tolerate people at times. I'd prefer to love everyone all the time, though, I don't see how that would be less human. Maybe there isn't anything in-human about liking or disliking things - I'd just prefer to only love (or to love hating, which is also fun).
Hellboy is by my favorite director! Guillermo delToro! I just watched Cronos, one of his earlier and more Spanish movies.
Labyrinth! Jennifer Connelly is chamring in Labyrinth, and great in later stuff - David Bowie is always sexy and good!

Date: 2005-09-03 03:05 am (UTC)I think that if almost all humans do a thing, it isn't human to not to it! I think it's very human to be irritated and tolerant some of the time! So I think loving everything is therefore inhuman! I wouldn't prefer to only love, because I love being irritable and grumpy sometimes! When I feel too much love, I feel like I'm going to fall apart into a million pieces and ascend to heaven on the spot! This makes normal life difficult!
I don't care about directors! However, I still want to rewatch Labyrinth!
