"Sometimes someone says something really small and it just fits into this empty place in your heart."
Oh my god. ABC now has full episodes of My So-Called Life online. If you can't sit down and watch them right this second, enjoy these quotes. There are no words for how much I loved that show.
"My parents keep asking how school was. It's like saying, "How was that drive-by shooting?" You don't care how it *was*, you're lucky to get out alive."
"It had become the focus of everything. It was all I could feel, all I could think about. It blotted out the rest of my face, the rest of my life. Like the zit had become... the truth about me."
"Sometimes I think if my mother wasn't so good at pretending to be happy she might be better at actually being happy."
"It just seems like, you agree to have a certain personality or something. For no reason. Just to make things easier for everyone. But when you think about it, I mean, how do you know it's even you?"
*sigh*

WOW. Everyone lately has been talking about how they just bought this on DVD. ABC must have seen how popular it was and put it online. I am DYING to watch now!

Your mother says WTF! And this is no your mother joke...
Oh jesus christ, now my mother is commenting on my blog.
Mom, it's a quote from the tv show, a show that's all about the teenage experience. Every teenager perceives their mother as constantly feigning perfect happiness, that's the point. I promise it's not about you. Though I will admit that when I was 15, that line had some, uh, resonance :-D
hey mox are you familiar with the famous ee cummings statement that goes with one of your little thingies right now? Here is the statement: "To be nobody, but myself - - in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else - - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting."
It's ok Mox. My boyfriend's mom reads my blog.
