Yesterday after we helped move-in (good deed number one) I went back to the apartment, packed up and headed home. I was exhausted and as soon as I got home to Jacksonville I cracked open a beer and hung out with the family. Later on that evening I invited one my good friends from high school over and we went in the pool and hot tub. As I was getting out of the hot tub in my bikini (which I am slightly over weight) I trip on the stairs (because it is slippery- not because I had been drinking). I fell on my butt, hurt my arm, all in front of my entire family- family friends- and my friend (which happens to be a boy- so here I thought- great, I fell down stairs, jiggled the whole way and am now sitting here in my bikini- injured) My arm was hurt in this whole process by the way. When my friend(who is literally just a friend) and I decided we were tired and wanted to lay down we went inside and I pulled out the couch bed. I let him sleep on it (Good deed number 2)(Earlier I had been beer bitch for all my mom's friends and her-good deed number 3). I couldn't get comfortable- while I was watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory so I went and layed on the pull out couch to watch this movie. I passed out on the couch watching WIlly Wanka, and woke up at 8AM and did the dishes for my mother and cleaned up outside(good deed for today!)
I realized why I may or may not be so f-ed up. Did anyone else see these movies when they were children- Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz or better yet Fantasia? Fantasia must have been one of my favorite movies when I was a kid but watching it now makes me realize that I was soberly living out some kind drug induced trip. Even the movie that EVERYONE bought me for years and years on end for every christmas and birthday (the movie "Heidi") was exceptionally scary. I actually don't remember it very well because I am too afraid to watch it again- come on the original one with Shirley Temple- this is the first line of the plot at a website summarizing it "When little Heidi is stolen by her cruel aunt (who sells her) her grouchy grandfather searches for her." < Really? This movie is supposed to bring joy to me on my birthday and Christmas...I mean it has a good ending and theme all together but it's really scary and when you are that young- you really aren't that "deep". So then we have the Wizard of Oz- what are those monkey monster looking things that come with the Wicked Witch of the West? Those little shits are scary. I mean if I was Dorothy I would have said "F-this, sorry you don't have a heart or a brain, not so much my problem" Not trying to get eaten by the little goblin-monkey witch friends.
So notice- Heidi produced in 1937, Wizard of Oz 1939 but then 1971 for Willy to come out and scare children shitless all across the world.
I'm just sayin' there's something up with these movies...Classics- yet they leave scars on children for the rest of their lives (I know this.)
Anyways- first meeting tonight - Please go well ...
