Almost Famous

"I always tell the girls never take it seriously. If you never take it seriously then you never get hurt. If you never get hurt then you always have fun, and if you ever get lonely you can just go to the record store and visit your friends." Penny Lane in ALMOST FAMOUS

My problem is I have way to much fun being a combination of people. I'm this perfect combination of all the things I want to be and all the things I am. None of the real life people I know can even affect me because they don't have what it takes to know me. I've tested them with these little amounts of info and they can't handle it very well. And I get hurt. But that's the beauty of movies. Of music. The beauty of music gets to me! How inspiring is Saturday Night by the Bay City Rollers?! Shit, I could dance to that all day long every day! Don't even get me started on My Sharona! See these people don't get me because I'm this combination of a 70's child from this experience that's not so different, but it sets me off. And I've tried not to let it, but it does. And I know the past matters now more than I thought because the only people who can understand me have been there. They've experienced it. Not that I don't love my other friends. I do. But they don't get me on the whole level of who I am. And it's too hard to take the rejection and the judgement. Fuck quantity...I've got this amazing quality and it's so true. It really is better than most things in life. Being able to share all of yourself without feeling vulnerable is fantastic.
