Late-Night Prattle
The past two nights I’ve talked to Dolly on the phone, the first time for abou three hours! It was nice, though the subject matter wasn;t always necessarily. But in a way it was, because we’re being honest with one another, and that’s something I wouldn’t trade. I think we need that honest ommunication right now, more than anything. Old habits die hard, though, I’ll say that much. It’s still my instinct not say things to her. But I’m fighting it.
On the upside, my eyes are doing a lot better. Hopefully, I’ll be okay tomorrow. I was cleaning my room today, and actually didn’t draw any InuYasha pictures. I’ve gotta get the scanner up and rnning so I can scan them in and post them here. I just can’t wait to color them. On the upside, I found my colored pencils. And my huge thing of crayons. And stickers . . . One set that I was going to give to Jason.
I wonder what he does with the things I give him? Here’s another crack on his cross, he claimed to have gotten me a Christmas card. I haven’t seen it yet.
I don’t know. I can’t pretend I’m not hurt over it. I am. Yet, I can’t help thinking that if he has read these things, he asn’t contacted me for a reason. And I think, by accident, discovered what that reason is. Heh. I always discover these things by accident.
But can’t help wondering why I can’t just have a normal best friend. I still consider Jason to be such to me, but this whole thing rides on top of it, like oil over water. And unless it’s taken care of, once and for all, it’s going to constantly ride over us. And don’t want that. Frankly, I don’t like the thought of that.
I go to work tomorrow. I hope my eyes’ll be okay for it. I’m bringing the Visine, just in case. But they’re usually okay in the mornings. It’s later on that they go splut.
Hey, Angela, out of curiosity, have you ever seen any Vincent Price movies? Specifically, House of Wax? I just watched that one recently, and it doesn’t strike me as so much of a horror movie as it does an incredibly sad story.
Just to give a description, for those who haven’t seen it, it starts out late one night in a small wax museum in, I believe, London. Jared, a sculptor, is working on his latest project when his partner comes in. His partner says that the world wants nothing to do with the beauty that Jared creates, they want horror, want to be scared. But Jared is happy with his people, especially his Marie Antoinette (sp?). And he tells his partner that he knows the guy wants out of the partnership, and someone, and very famous art critic is coming to see Jared tonight. Well, when the man comes, he tells Jared that they’ll talk in three months, when he’s back from a vacation in Egypt. He leaves, and the other guy tells Jared that’s too long for him to wait, he needs his money now, to get into another business. Then he says that the wax sculptures are insured for a lot of money, and they could collect on it, and start all over again. Jared is horrified, though, at the thought of all his people burning, and threatens to kll the other man if he tries. A fight ensues, where the other guy does manage to set the building ablaze, with Jared trapped inside. The last we se of Jared, he runs into a room just as the staircase above it collapses, and then the building explodes.
Next we see is his partner at a dance with a woman, tlking about how, ‘if he had been there, perhaps he could have saved poor Jared.’ But tells her that he did collect the insurance money. Later, when he’s back at his ofice, he’s greedily counting the insurance money, and is killed by a crouched, limping, disfigured man. The man drags his body to the elevator shaft, ties a rope around his neck, and sends him down it, making it look like a suicide.
Argh. Okay, I’m tired. I’ll finsih describing the rest later on. But it is a good movie. I recommend it to anyone who likes a good film.
–Notes–
Im a huge Price fan. I’ll have 2 check this movie out! Old horror movies are scarier then todays. now it’s all blood and dumb show, which doesn’t do nething but disgust me. Back then all they needed was a few shadows and a mask and it was enough 2 scare the bejeebers outta me. lol. In ne event, no matter what happens, I’m praying that it’ll b the best situation for both u and ur friend. [Malloren]
