The Method To My Madness

Movie Life

Dear Reader,

Have you ever read a book or watched a movie and thought to yourself "wow this person that made this movie has a crazy imagination because this could never happen in real life"? I know I have. And then I snapped out of it and realized how crazy life really is.

I have a miniature dachshund that is a complete freak. Today for instance, I came home to a house without people because everyone was out except for Nelie. Poor little Nelie. All alone. Passed out in the middle of my brand new love seat, with cotton from a stuffed animal still hanging out of her mouth. Then I woke her up and made her get off the small couch so I could lay down. As I was laying there with my leg proped up on the arm she jumps up, ducks under my leg, climbs onto the arm (knocking my leg off the arm), army crawls up on to the back of the love seat, and lays down. Then she she starts licking her paw ans curling her tail much like a cat wood. She likes to perch on furniture and climb into the base of my crepe myrtles in my backyard. She made a nest in one of the trees. My dog is a freak but God I love her.

I was that cliche girl that fell for the neighbor boy. That didn't quite work out. I got stuck in the mud once with a guy I used to go to school with. He had homemade wine and a nice laugh. I learned dipping at night is fun but thank god a turtle bit him in the ass or else I would have made some bad decisions. I've had an ex-boyfriend come to my door and leave me flowers with a letter begging me to take him back. I've been hit on in a bar at a restaurant by a cute bartender.I've seen a couple make out in the rain before. I was there when my friend got pregnant and her boyfriend left her. I was there when she got in a car accident and lost her baby, my god-daughter. I've been in a car accident. I was almost kidnapped once. I had a guy harass me but before it got worse I had someone there to protect me. I've had a hangover and then took a major exam the next day. I have changed my clothes in the middle of a mall before. I've saved two lives. I've had a guy date me just to make a friend jealous.

I've laughed, cried, seen a child brought into the world, watched a loved one pass away. I've loved, I've hated, but mostly I have learned. I have been through a lot in my short life and I know that there is much more to go through. And honestly I may not be ready for what will come but I'm excited for it. I also know that if I get lost again at least I have friends and family to help me get back.

Basically what I'm saying is that movies and shows may seem far fetched but art mimics life. I've seen movies before and thought that it was completely unrealistic then turned around and went through the exact same thing. So pay attention to movies even the stupid ones because you never know.
