2 more days...or i guess one, but still....going insane
saturday better hurry up and get over here im so excited to watch the shining, ive been itching all week for it 🙏 if anything gets in the way of my plans im gonna be really sad
ive been quoting the shining allll day to myself, i got to use a quote like twice with my friend so i was happy, it was unleashing my true self
also i read like ten chapters of the shining, so heh..yk... not to brag or anything....😼seriously tho i was so glad i read that much, i got to the bit where jack's backstory w/ his abusive father is revealed and he has his nightmare and all that, and i stopped reading just after he went to room 217 to check if the old woman in the tub was still there. I LOVE THE SHINING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i was so exhausted today and my uncle asked 'so have u been watching anything recently?' and oh... my god.... i cant tell you how long ive been waiting for someone, ANYONE to ask me that. SOOOOOOO long, and ik i could just talk about it but idk i just dont so i wait around, and everything i practiced in my head, everything i wanted to say ages ago if anyone ever asked me smth like that, just went away, bc i was so exhausted today so i had not a single thought, but i was insanely happy, and was glad i could finally talk abt it to someone. it wasnt enough tho, i still want to talk </3 PLEASE GOD!!!!!!!!! PLEAAAASEEEE 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 SEND ME SOMEONE, ANYONE I CAN TALK TO ABT THE SHINING!!!!!!!!!!!
also i got embarrassed bc my uncle asked 'why do u like the shining so much' or smth like that and i didnt have an answer. like the question didnt embarrass me but the fact that i didnt know what to say, and i told him that, i said 'idk! i just like it' thats the thing with me liking things, i feel like if i like something, i know the reasons why, but as soon as someone asks me my mind just goes blank and i embarrass myself bc i dont have an answer for them. that reminds me of the time when i first read the catcher in the rye, absolutely loved it, and related to holden soooo much, like im not kidding ive never related to a character that much before, i almost cried reading that book, then i went and told my friend abt all that and suggested she read it. she did, and she said it was good, but asked why i related to holden, and ofc i know why, i could go on and on, but in that moment when she asked me, i just didnt know! it was stupid, it always is when i blank out like that
also did u know lana del rey's 'doin' time' is like inspired by or whatever by sublime's 'doin' time'? i'm not a fan of lana del rey and i kind of like sublime but as soon as i heard sublime's 'doin' time' it took me a bit but i recognised it, and its basically pretty similar to lana del rey's 'doin' time' but anyway!
also i watched superbad again last night. michael cera is me, just trust me please, also i have a big crush on him so idk if that's weird or like egotistical or me or smth but i love him

If the media landscape is going to be just remakes and reboots from now til the end of humanity, can we at least start doing what Scott Pilgrim Takes Off did, which was recontextualize its previous iterations rather than overwrite them? It never said "the books and the live action film are in the trash now, this is the new canon." What it actually said was "the books and live action film are my predecessors, I will build on what they made and have conversations with what they said." And I think that fucking rules

I want to know what happens to the Barbies that aren't played with anymore. The ones who get thrown away or sit at the bottom of a box. Or the ones who people get a little more creative with, like cake toppers or... otherwise.
It seems to me like everyone in Barbieland is someone actively being played with, alive because they have a connection with a human. That's why they all got brainwashed; their counterparts are still active in the human world.
And we saw a few discontinued dolls in Weird Barbie's house, but I'm talking about Barbies and Kens who are still sold but end up never played with.
You think they stay in Barbieland? What if they have to go to the human world once they know they're not played with anymore? Or do they take a flight out if BAX somewhere else? Is there a Barbie retirement village they go to? Do they just live out their days away from Barbieland and can't go back since they're not played with?
Or do they die? Is there a Barbie graveyard somewhere with all the discarded dolls? Or do they just fade away? What if, rather than physically dying, they lose their spirit, doomed to wander the world around Barbieland an empty shell, never to be played with again?
