Manifesto Ultimatum: Day 11

A book and a movie you love.

East of Eden is perfect.
James Dean for one thing. If you're kind of a fiend like me, then watching this movie will make your jaw drop at brilliance of the man. He literally is flawless and the rest of the cast is actually perfect too. But honestly, I could watch this movie a million times. The story is so good and when Cal takes the money that he made to his father and he rejects it? Saddest thing. Please watch it with me. Easily in the top three.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape is perfect.
I saw the movie first, and I when I found out there was a book, I promptly got my hands on a copy. I'm one of those weird people that likes to read the book of the movie, even if I've already seen it. Also, this is really my favorite movie but why would I blog about the book and the movie? Ugh, I probably would. But not today. Anyhoo, I read this book in one day. Guys, that's a big deal for me. Heavens knows I'm a book lover, but my brain is usually incapable of such a long time with the written word. I am Gilbert Grape. Besides his awesome hair. That's really all there is to know. Unless you've read it, I really can't talk about how good it is or else you just won't understand. Take my word for it.And Addy, if you're reading this, I need my book back.

Both of these make me feel human.

  

Now they're celebrating broken things
I don't want a world of broken things
You can tell that something isn't right
When all your heroes are in black and white

What a drag to say
At least I still have yesterday

Show me something I can be
Play a song that I can sing
Make me feel as I am free
Someone come speak for me
Someone come speak for me

Manifesto Ultimatum: Day 1

Sheesh. Everyone calm down. Here I go.

My face.

Just woke up. Don't judge.

K it's actually really hard to take a self-profile.

I don’t look like anyone in my family. They’re all blonde. I’ve got the darkest hair (not that dark) and tannest skin (not that tan). I’ve got two symmetrical moles on my cheeks under my eyes that I definitely like. I have a dog mark on the right side of my face from when a dog bit me. I was scarred, literally . I secretIy like it. There’s also a horizontal scar on my upper left forehead from when I played tag with the corner of a coffee table. Definitely like that one too. My nose has got the “White bump” on it (a trait from my father’s side). I’m actually really comfortable with my face. I mean, what else can you do about it? Just remember, you may not be the most attractive, but you’re not the ugliest either. If you want to get specific, I like my eyes and teeth best. Sometimes I secretly want crooked teeth. Don’t ask, I’m not sure why. I’ve also got the unfortunate follicles to grow a unibrow. Maybe fortunate? We’ll see if those are in next season.

I’m very opinionated, too honest, and too aware. I love all things movies, musicals, and people. Mostly people. I’m slightly OCD, germaphobic, and one of those stereotypical, self-diagnosed ADD people. I love music, as cliché as that sounds. I have a toad named Skeeter, I’m still surprised he’s alive. I’m really not afraid to be myself, and don’t care much for people who don’t accept that. I’m optimistic, and really just pleased to be alive. Also, if you’re in, you’re in for life. Figure that one out. Resident James Dean fan. Also, if I’m not making you laugh, I’m doing something wrong.
