Charlie!

Last weekend, my mother drove down to IU with ES for freshman orientation. So, instead of leaving me alone, she sent me to JM's house. JM has an extra bedroom. Our first night with me there, we watched "Charlie Bartlett." A seriously fantastic movie, kudos to everyone involved.
But that's not my point.
Here's the deal:
Susan, the theater-freak-singing-child-of-divorce-awesome-clothes-girl, is me. Everything about her screams "MEGANANNE!" As we sat quietly in her dark basement, JM whispers, "Holy crap, she's YOU." Oh, more than you can even comprehend.
Recently, it's been decided that I like to think I'm an adult even though I'm really only a kid. The basic theme of "Charlie Bartlett" is being yourself and most of the kids in the movie are playing at adulthood, making adult decisions, seriously, honestly think that they are adults. Now, I won't spoil it for any potential watchers, but they make it in the end. The ending is happy. Kat Dennings, good job on portraying me!

Although I'm pretty sure watching the film again will be like death (I was so uncomfortable the first time), I really want to see it again. I love Charlie. And even moreso, I love MURPHY.

<3, Susan

New song!!

So, I've officially finished a song. It is officially finished. I basically love it. And I'll love it for 5 more days.
It is called "Wish I May" and I wrote it with the help of KB and BP, and it's sort of... Idk. Lyrical pop, with a little blues towards the end? I hopefully will move forward with it soon, and you'll all get to hear it. Yay! Let me know if you want a lyrical copy. :)

MADness

Batman! (Duhnuhnuhnuhnuhnuh) BATMAN!!

Ok, so, I've found a new obsession. His name beith Bruce Wayne... Better known as Batman. Here is how it started...
I just absolutely could not wait for The Dark Knight. So, forcing my mother along for the insanity, I rented the 6 precursors to The Dark Knight (Or so I thought). We watched from 1989 on, including pathetically awful spinoff Catwoman. Ick. After some research, I did discover that the Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher Batmans (Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, Batman & Robin) were in fact their own franchise. Batman Begins acts as a franchise restart. So, I guess I wasted my time with the old Batman movies.
So, the obsession. Batman is the realest of all of the superheroes. His skills are from training, his weaponry from hard studying and lots of money. He himself is based on fear and determination. The villains he fights are not special, really... He fights corruption and "Evil", which typically takes the form of someone traumatized or just vengeful. And Batman Begins is one of the best films I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing. I love this movie more than I can even describe.
I wish that there was some way that I could become and injustice fighter, some way that I too, could become fear itself.
Of course, my sister ES has decided that loving Batman is shameful. Whatever, butterfly girl.
Count Down to The Dark Knight: 11 days :)

be your fear,
Batgirl
