For the past couple of days, Kole and I have been spending an insane amount of time using the University computer labs. She's on spring break right now, and so we have a lot of free time to kill. Generally, we've been staying up way too late, leaving the labs after 11:30pm... but we've been having a great time using their high-speed/warp-speed computers. We've been checking out new movie trailers and one of the movies that we are both looking forward to seeing is 13 going on 30. It's kind of a girl's 'Big' movie: the girl who played Elecktra is in it.
The funny thing is, during some of the preview, I completely identified with the main character. I don't feel that I am all that more ahead of myself emotionally relating to people as the average 13 year old. I don't know if TRUE LOVE exists, I haven't a clue about where I stand spiritually or politically, and I'd suspect that there are a lot more 13 year olds out there with a better bank account than I have.
I think the only thing that I've got going for me is my optimism and dedication towards trying to do good and be a good person. It's not everything in the world, but at least its something to work with.
