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
(f.k.a. MEGANANNE)
