Dogfight, corpsefight

thejunipertreeIt's late, I'm watching "Dogfight" which has River Phoenix
and Lili Taylor in it. It's a good movie, but there are some
aspects of it that are annoying the hell out of me.
The basic premise is that River Phoenix is some sort of
military person and he takes Lili Taylor to an "Ugly Date"
contest with the rest of his military buddies.
Taylor isn't ugly, not by any far stretch of the imagination.
I always think of her as the girl in "Say Anything" (Joe
liiiies). And it's bizarre to me that she would be cast
as an ugly girl.
And how does she feel about such a casting call, really?
Does it injure her self esteem?
Who knows.
I'm just waxing retarded, quite frankly.
Projecting is more like it.
Because we all know, I don't think of myself as
a beautiful girl. Or even a pretty one.
Oh, sure...I can be "cute" on occasion. But, that
never really amounts to much. Anybody can be cute
under the right circumstances and in the correct
lighting.
I don't know. I'm feeling high schoolish right now.
A large part of this is events from this afternoon.
I'll not talk about them, as I don't want to.
I was feeling fairly low when I started writing this,
but Carrie has gone and changed that.
*warm and fuzzies*
CORPSEFIGHT!!!
heh

& it was not just bc of the roses in your hair.
I think there are very few of us that see ourselves clearly. perhaps you are too critical of yourself.
most people worth knowing are.

psyche scarring of grade school ghosts long past.
I wish there was some kind of pill to take to make
all of those memories and the damage they've caused
go completely away.
Thank you, though, for the compliments.
It makes me most happy to hear them. :)
hey baby, hey baby, HEY!
