Charlotte's Web

Tonight my partner and I went and saw Charlotte's Web. Yes, I know it's rated G, and many may consider this a kids movie. But I remember reading the book, all those years ago. I also remember seeing the play when I was a kid. It was one of my favorite books.

I am a huge Dakota Fanning fan, and when I heard she was going to be doing the movie, and heard all of the people doing voices in the movie, I knew I had to see it. I didn't have any expectations, but because I also knew some of the movie was filmed here in Victoria, I thought it'd be a nice free-spirited type of movie to watch.

I was looking online earlier, and it appears that the movie came out in June of this year in many places. I find it strange that some movies, come out around the same time as they do in the States, but other movies, it takes months for it to come out. Maybe people didn't think it'd do very well here, and that no one would be racing to see the movie. But as school holidays are coming up soon, I guess it was perfect timing for the movie to come out.

I'll admit, I cried in the movie. Even though I knew what was going to happen, I still cried. Of course I tried to pass it off as just wiping something out of my eye, but I cried. Lucky there were not a lot of people in the theater. There were a number of people, and it was bloody warm, but I kept my tears to myself. ::smirks::

How Much Have YOU Changed in 2 Years?

How old were you?
~~Then: 26
~~Now: 28

Where did you go to school?
~~Then: I wasn't in school
~~Now: I'm still not in school. I'd like to go back to get my master's degree. However, I am a bit decisive as to what exactly I'd like to study. I do hope to attend a photography class after the new year.

Where did you work?
~~Then: I was working in retail..just for the holiday season. I was on a 4 month working holiday visa at the time.
~~Now: Working for a trustee company. Been there 10 months.

Where did you hang out?
~~Then: I hung around at home a lot. Because I was on a 4 month working holiday visa, I had A LOT of time on my hands. I worked night shift, so I spent much of my day sleeping.
~~Now: I don't really "hang out." I know by the time the weekend arrives, if I'm not working weekends, I'm too buggered to do anything. I do hope we'll be able to go to the beach more often now.

What was your hair style?
~~Then: #2 in the back and sides, and the top was trimmed, to where I could spike my fringe. And bleach highlights of course.
~~Now: it's still the same, though I was hoping to get a haircut today, as I'm looking a bit shaggy ::smirks::

Did you wear glasses?
~~Then: Yes
~~Now: No, only when I'm too lazy to put in my contacts.

Who was your regular-person crush?
~~Then: I didn't have one.
~~Now: Hmm, I have a "crush" on a woman I see at the train station. We've never spoken, and probably never will. We don't see each other often, but she's my "healthy" crush. And yeh, my partner knows about her.

How many tattoos did you have?
~~Then: 3
~~Now: 4

How many piercings did you have?
~~Then: 7
~~Now: 8, I got my cartilage re-pierced. However, it should be noted, that I don't wear earrings anymore. So the 6 holes I have in my ears, well 4 of them probably have closed up. And I still have my belly button pierced.

What did you drive?
~~Then: Nissan Pintara
~~Now: Same, but now I have an automatic, not a manual.

What was your worst fear?
~~Then: Well, we had a major immigration scare 2 years ago (in Sept though)...and by far, my worst fear, was having to go back home, and having a 3 year exclusion period.
~~Now: Honestly, getting fired from my work. I know that won't happen, but I constantly worry about the pressures I am under, and afraid that I just can't keep up.

Had you smoked a cigarette?
~~Then: No..I haven't smoked one since back in 2001. I tried it, and it was gross...and that's the end of it ::smirks::
~~Now: Never again will I. It's a disgusting habit.

You been arrested?
~~Then: No, never
~~Now: Never will I...::crossing fingers::

Had your heart broken?
~~Then: No, wouldn't say heart broken, things were okay then.
~~Now: I wouldn't say I'm heart broken, but I am definitely not 100% content in my relationship.
