See chameleon lying there in the sun...

So it has recently been brought to my attention that in some of the new Cinderella DVDs there is a limited edition glass slipper necklace. I would have gotten to this earlier, but I felt that the world needed to hear my rants on important trashy historical romance novel topics. A discussion of the overuse of certain names and horrendous titles needs to be addressed...and not just by C and I. Well back to the necklace. At first I was shocked to learn that I had been deprived of my necklace. Cinderella is my favorite of the older Disney movies. My best friend in elementary school had the film on beta and I used to make her watch it at least 3 times everytime I cam over. I mean who couldn't love a movie with mice named Jacque and Gus who wear clothes and cute little hats. The good news it that K (my friend who called me excitedly about the necklace only to find out that I did not have one) is willing to donate hers to my car Ophelia. So in the end...everyone wins, but most importantly me!!!
I'm beginning to think that I will never be a 'real-live' grown up. Everytime I think I might make it, something happens. Today, unfortunately, I realized that once again my parents will be bailing me out. I had thought that the money I had to borrow from them earlier would be enough, but I was wrong...oh so very wrong. It just feels so lousy. Don't get me wrong, I understand how lucky I am to have parents as supportive as mine, but I just want to be self-sufficient in financial matters. What makes it all worse is I seem to be in a holding pattern that I am not sure how to get out of. As Freddie Mercury used to sing "I want to break free", but I am just not sure from what. Oh well, at least I have the wisdom of Garden State to fall back on...

"You'll see when you move out it just sort of happens one day and gone. And you can never get it back. It's like you get homesick for a place that doesn't exist. I mean it's like this rite of passage, you know. You won't have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for you kids, for the family you start, it's like a cycle or something. I miss the idea of it. Maybe that's all family really is...a group of people who miss the same imaginary place."
