It's good that you reminded me to do this because, despite my exhaustion, I'm actually in the perfect mood.
Here's what's on my mind (one of the things):
Things are painted in a much better way in the movies. Picture this- A group of friends. They are having a great time. The music is some kind of alternative rock blasting but it is still background. There are low shots of them. We see bright lights, sequined clothes, somewhat attractive young boys and girls screaming because it feels good to be young and let yourself go for a night and not have to worry about responsibilities. You smile as you watch it and you feel a little jealous even because they are having such a great time.
Now imagine... You are in your room. Doing nothing special, not really that focused on anything. Chilling. Watching TV. Maybe you've just gotten into bed. And these dumbass obnoxious college students are freaking screaming outside and laughing their heads off like someone told the joke of the century or something. Your neighbors seem to have some kind of speaker system rigged outdoors. The walls of your bedroom are unbelievably thin. Even though you're on the second floor, it feels like they're in your bedroom.
Seriously, I do often picture my life as some kind of production. Truth is that in really life, that is not something I admire. Maybe that's not true. It takes a certain kind talent to be able to completely disregard the needs or wants of the world around you. Actually they aren't that loud to night but I was just thinking about how movies can sometimes be misleading that way.
