in case you were worrying: injury update + random other stuff

i've cut myself
and i've been abraded
but i've never sliced off
before now

and
i realize
the super glue thing
could have freaked you out
but back in the nam
no, seriously
i get that kinda stuff from my dad

my only experience with abrasions led me to believe
i'd get a big hard scab that would hurt and itch
but i didn't

it's just growing skin
it's pretty much covered now
although not filled in
and it doesn't hurt unless i poke into it
and that's only four days
i'm kinda impressed
i've only had it bandaged one day
so maybe the air is helping stimulate it


i saw a movie today
before i tell you what movie i wanna tell you why

i think twilight is one of the most boring pieces of crap
with no redeemable value whatever
but at least one of my friends loves it
and it was presented to me:
you are just too old
you've reached the point where you just don't get it

that made me mad

so today i saw beastly

and ok i got no idea who alex pettyfer is
and i recognize vanessa hudgens name
but i don't know why
but
i haven't followed pop culture for a while sorta purposely
but i was never personally invested in the beauty and the beast mythos
i never watched the disney
i did watch the one with ron pearlman
and the classic black and white

but i was always more of an ugly duckling follower
ie: if you aren't beautiful
it's because you're using the wrong definition
than a beauty and the beast-er


it was not bad
visually it was quite good

except

that guy was so much better looking "ugly"
and he seemed way more body mod
than deformed
and
i think we're spoiler safe here
i mean, you aren't planning to see it, right
they so should have had him want not to be fixed by the end
or she shoulda wanted him not to change
or something
not gotten all prettified by the end


the thing i thought was interesting in my response
and maybe i shouldn't tell you this
maybe this reveals something wrong in me
but
a year to find someone who will say they love you
didn't sound that hard to me
ironically
it's finding someone i could love that has always seemed difficult
not someone to love me

so does that mean that i'm wrong-headed
or conceited
(cause people love me)
or maybe i'm defining love wrong
maybe i'm thinking she meant
they just had to love
and she meant soul mate kinda love

anyway
i don't think there was anything to get
in beastly
but i didn't read young adult fiction, really
even when i was one
so maybe i never got it
but it does sound
from the wiki article
like they ruined the book

but there was a cool poem in it that i hadn't read before:

in fact i don't remember reading o'hara
and i get such a clear picture
of the man
who inspired the poem
st. sebastian in the orange shirt
from art history

i'm glad i saw it just for finding o'hara
