  • If one more thing goes right, I think I might go crazy with the euphoria of it all. (I should not jinx myself, though, until 2 tomorrow at least)

    I just saw Spiderman 2. I have not been so emotional over a movie since . . . well maybe ever (excluding those seminary videos ) It was so goooooood. Two things at the end made me furious, but the rest was great. The themes behind it all overrode the painfully obvious fact that this directer was clearly and intentionally pulling heart strings and setting you up for a third movie. The themes are just amazing.

    "With great power comes responsibility."

    Maybe I'll stop dreaming that I'm peter pan and instead wish to be Spiderman. Except that I would never want that burden. Or do we all have that burden? . . . oooooo deep thoughts. They're dangerous I tell you; the friend I saw the movie with told me that I should never have taken film genres. I can't help it if I annalyze!

    The thrill of it is driving me nuts and I can't sleep. Except the real reason I can't sleep is because tomorrow I will have a new brother. It's going to keep me up all night. I suppose I will just have to blast Vindicated and go and cry or something cool like that.

    Edit:
    P.S. I'm not sure I like this being the top entry when the other entry, the one about Jonathan should be the most important, but I don't know how to fix it. Unless I don't post this until tomorrow. Hmmm. Oh dash it, just read the previous entry first.
