Over the long Good Friday weekend, we went to watch some movies - Spiderwick and the Water Horse. Spiderwick was DAMN NICE ok? If u wanna watch a movie go watch Spiderwick. I duno how to explain. The brownie was like so cute, and gullible haha. Sorry Charis, but I really preferred Spiderwick to the Water Horse. We watched the Water Horse DVD yesterday and I really don't like that stupid Angus Macmorrow. I think he ruined the whole show. He is very selfish, did he not know that? He keeps saying the Water Horse is his, the best place for the Water Horse is for him to be with Angus. Like real. He's just plain selfish. When you let a friend go you cannot make him/her feel guilty about leaving. It'd be self-centred. Really. We should put on a smile and let them have no regrets, even though you're hurting inside. For another, friends are not for eternity and they'll leave you someday. Or you'll leave them. So one of the secrets to not getting disappointed is to never get your hopes high, remind yourself nothing is forever, tell yourself not to get too close (or your heart will definitely be broken in the end). For that matter, I feel I'm getting to close to my family and I'm not sure about my friends. Anyway back to the topic of degrading Angus. What in the world made him think that a legendary creature, THE Water Horse, would actually need him? "I don't care, it needs me! It's mine!" It's not his. It didn't need him. It would've been perfectly happy surviving in the wild, unrestrained by snivelling little humans and restrictions of being domestic.
Anyway. I suppose my prejudice against this kind of people ruined my outlook on the show, but I daresay yes, it is the kind of show Charis would like to watch. Thank you Charis for telling me about the show - it opened my eyes to myself and how I can prevent myself from becoming like Angus and deceive myself with an ultimate lie that anyone would need me at all, and also it helped me to remember that we cannot hold down people's dreams and ambitions because of our own dreams and that we should not ever assume we are the only people in the world who do not fit in. Everyone will fit in one way or the other and thinking otherwise will mean that we think we're special and above all the other measly weak people. That's also what I don't like about those Barbie doll shows (Fairytopia and all those things my sister likes to watch). It's ALWAYS this egotistical person who thinks he/she is very special and set apart from the others and then in the end they do something great like save the world, which really pisses me off, because a cygnet is not really ugly at first and therefore it can become a swan, but a crow baby will always be a crow, even if it thinks it can become a swan, it will always be black. But I am getting to hyped up over these mere things. They are simply fairytales, shows, figments of imagination. I used to be quite detached, if I am allowed to say it of myself, but I feel i am getting too emotional. All my foundations are being eroded by the waves of time. Sigh. That's stupid. Anyway my parents have commanded me to do my sister's homework for her so that's what I shall. Bye(even though obviously nobody's gonna read this stupid post).
