I read this the other day, and I thought WOW, what a great way to combine three great loves into one awesome little post. Wall-E, Eva, and The Office. Without further adieu, a movie review of Wall-e and my lil pal Eva Diva, by Michael Scott:
You all need to see Wall-E. It's the greatest love story on the planet and the people in it aren't even really people. It's about this robot that looks a lot like Johnny-5 Alive in "Short Circuit," except this guy is smaller and makes trash cubes in his belly. His name is Wally. He falls in love with a girl robot named Eva. Wally gives Eva a plant and it looks like she's dead, but it turns out she's just resting. I've had this experience with girls myself, so I can vouch that women actually do this.
The movie starts off really slow, but mostly because Wally doesn't have anyone to talk to on Earth. Then Eva comes. She tries to kill him, but Wally's good at hiding behind things so he stays alive. Then a big ship comes and takes Eva away. Wally loves her so much that he hangs on to the ship and flies away to a bigger ship with her. I don't want to spoil anything that happens after this, but I was crying like a baby for most of the rest of the movie. Partly because it was kind of sad (but in a good way), but mostly because it was really dry in the theatre and I have very sensitive eyes.
When Wall-E comes out on DVD, I'm going to buy a copy for the office because everyone needs to see it. My only complaint is that they should have called the movie "Wally." I don't know why they tried to spell it differently. I guess they thought they were being creative.
My life is absolutely wonderful, in other news. I have the most amazing friends in the world, and even though at this time last week those relationships seemed to be drama-filled, today they are drama-free and that is wonderful. I truly feel like my friends have become a sort of family for me, and I'm just so excited to have found people I genuinely love and care about, regardless of flaws and failures, and people who genuinely love and care about me too. Of my three besties, I can pretty much guarantee that all three will still be there in twenty years, and probably longer, helping me get through whatever struggles the 40 year old me has. And that's really cool.
I love my job. All of them, really. I'm OF COURSE having a blast babysitting my kiddos. There aren't as many now, but I've been lucky to get my weekly meetings with four of the six that have the strongest hold on me. The other three come and go, but at least they're still there for me to see whenever I want to. I've been really lucky that way with the parents I've babysat for. Most parents are very okay with me coming and visiting their kids, and I'm so glad because sometimes being separated from them is just too hard. And I am LOVING holy cross. I just planned out the Fall Wednesday night schedule today and I am SO PUMPED. Dr. Seuss, you are awesome.
And other than that, there's not too much going on. I'm moving into my new apartment in less than a month, and I'm super excited about it. And I'm really excited about my classes next semester--Biology, Sci of Nutrition, Child Development, Ecological Contexts in Human Dev., and Psychology of Women. And I'm excited about getting my own pet fish. And that's about that. Right now I'm just taking each day as it comes. Soaking up the longer days with friends and kids and learning to love each one of them, regardless of the challenges.
