When I got home from the office this evening I watched Chasing Amy. Kevin Smith may be the one director who rocks my world, particularly from ages 17-25. I absolutely love everything he has made. I've seen them all a zillion times and can quote tons of nonsense. Tonight's favorite is from Jay "look at this morose mother fucker." It's in regards to Holden's mood after finding out some unsettling facts about his girlfriend.
As I sprawled out on the couch watching I was somehow transported back in time to my sophomore year watching this with my roommates. It still resonates with me about how love isn't as easy as we want it to be. It's not easily defined and we all make mistakes that we need to leave in the past. Every time I watch it I'm reminded of how fleeting love is and how much of a bitch jealousy is. Now I'm feeling all nostalgic and wish I had a flannel to wear. Maybe I'll watch Clerks next, or Reality Bites. Unrequited love at it's finest.
