Ten for Tuesday – Ten Favorite Movie Characters

Ten Favorite Movie Characters (off the top of my head, I’m sure if I thought more these would change)

  • Marty, Beautiful Girls (Natalie Portman)
  • Igby, Igby Goes Down (Kieran Culkin)
  • Amélie, (Audrey Tautou)
  • Edward Scissorhands, Edward Scissorhands (Johnny Depp)
  • Lloyd Dobler, Say Anything (John Cusack)\
  • Randle Patrick McMurphy, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (Jack Nicholson)
  • Lisa Rowe, Girl Interrupted (Angelina Jolie)
  • Veronica Sawyer, Heathers (Winona Ryder)
  • Lestat de Lioncourt, Interview with a Vampire (Tom Cruise)
  • Princess Leia, Star Wars (Carrie Fisher)

How should we respond when people disappoint us? Ignore it? Get angry? Get upset? Ignore THEM? Sometimes this is such a confusing situation… And what about when people tend to say things and then at a certain point their actions stop meshing well with their words? Is this just human nature? What about when the ideals and expectations they place on you don’t match those they put on others and those they sometimes place on themselves?

I guess we all do this to an extent. But at what point does it begin to interfere with who we are and what we stand for and respect? At what point are we compromising our expectations and ideals for others? Is this just a part of life and a part of relating with other humans? Imagine other animals behaved in this confusing and exhausting way?

So…how do we distinguish if we are disappointed in someone because we feel threatened in some way or if it’s deserved? Random questions from me today.

The weather is finally getting gloomy… I guess we can’t keep those sunny days in the 60s for too long or it would just be weird. But it sure was nice while it lasted! Autumn does rock! Now if I could just get rid of this sinus infection and cold maybe I can go enjoy it in the form of a hike! Bear Mountain? I’m also craving a day at the beach.

On a good side note, they put up a windmill farm in Atlantic City, NJ! Pretty freaking cool, huh? I was so happy and excited to hear this. Here is some info: http://njwind.com/ For a set amount per month (from $5 to $20 I believe) you can partially supply your power from these windmills. How great is that?!
