I'll be your Lloyd Dobbler with a boombox out in the street

2007-08-05 - 10:36 p.m.

Reading: Romeo and Juliet - Shakespeare
Listening to: Lloyd Dobbler - Pencey Prep
Wishing: I wasn't addicted to these fucking cookies *gobbles*

This is so perfect. Just, overwhelmingly perfect. I struggle to find a way to describe everything in a coherent and eloquent way. So I'll do it in a disjointed rambling way instead.

Say Anything. You must watch this movie. It is utter perfection. John Cusack. Adorable, neurotic, quirky, rambly, romantic guy. Does the most beautiful and romantic things. In Your Eyes - Peter Gabriel + boombox in the street = me a overemotional mess.

What is the one thing that can make this even more perfect? To discover a connection between the movies I love and the men I worship. Frank, back when he was my age, wrote a song about this. To hear him crooning And I'll be your Lloyd Dobbler with a boombox out in the street and I'll be there if you need someone even if he isn't me to hear this, I swear, it gives me such hope.

It also adds to my conviction that i am in the wrong generation.

In less flaily news, I am starting to scare myself. I have had such motivation with uni this week that I fear I have been posessed by a particularly studious demon. Never before have I read all of my readings. I am even reading Romeo and Juliet for class. And I've been seriously planning my assignments. Uni thoughts have permeated my mind and have consumed most of my internal dialogue.

This will shed light on the severity of the situation. It has gotten to the point that once I finished my "homework" I was at a loss with what to do next. Suddenly, it seemed like I had all these empty hours in my life and nothing to fill them.

However, I have only been back a week and this sudden bout of academic energy may fizzle back to my usual procrastination soon.

Though I must admit it is a nice change to be thinking things other than my usual obsessions that I've indulged my entire life.
