I just saw the movie a few days ago. I'm going to be honest with you...I cried. I've read so many reviews that it's a horrible movie for children and it "sucks." I suppose I saw it in a different light. I don't think the audience was supposed to be for children, but about children. My parents have never been through a divorce, but I felt like a child that is going through it in 90 minutes. What I loved about this movie is the emotional aspect. Each monster represented an emotion Max was feeling: anger, fear, loneliness, etc. KW represented motherhood. Overall I felt all of that including danger. Like I stated before, I may not have gone through a divorce, but I remember being a kid. Everything is a lot bigger physically and emotionally than when we're all grown up. We've all been there. If you don't like the movie, I respect that. By the way, the soundtrack is AWESOME. Karen O and The Kids made the whole album. If you're wondering who was singing in the preview for the movie it was none other than Arcade Fire..."Wake Up (Where The Wild Things Are Trailer Version)."

In other news I'm finally going to be able to make shorts starting in december. I'm so excited!

I'm a strong believer of God and blessings. I'm not really sure if I believe in coincidences. After I had finished my last blog, I started talking with this friend of mine. I know I'm in a relationship, but I'm strongly attracted to this friend that I'm about to tell you about. Now, let me say first that I would NEVER do anything to hurt my boyfriend. I've been down that road and I dont ever wish that upon anyone. Things have been going wrong with my boyfriend and I. We can call him Axel. Axel is the complete opposite of what I had imagined I would end up with. Maybe God has a purpose for my being with him. I'm not saying I'm losing my feelings for him, but I'm starting to realize all the things I wouldnt want in a marriage. I've come a long way believe it or not.

So in spring break of this year I met my friend's brother. She was always talking about him and how he wanted to join the nursing program and move in with her. Everytime she spoke of him and how he's a charmer, I thought, I probably would never fall for a guy like him. We can call him Ethan. So spring break came and I met him in a theatre of all places. They turned on the lights and when I turn around I see my friend proudly standing next to her brother, Ethan. We've been friends ever since I told him I was born in a random place like Kansas when I've lived the majority of my life in Puerto Rico.

We laughed so much. Finally, someone who has my not-funny-to-others-humor.

So when I finished talking to him, I start walking to leave when I passed...can you guess? Yes! I had been talking to him in starbucks and neither of us knew it. Of course we had these bewildered expressions, but it made me think of so many things all at once.

"A girl could fall in love in this place"

?

Was I talking to myself in the future?

Haha. No. Although I have never really experienced anything romantic or magical in my life that deals with love and hope that would happen to me someday (wishful thinking much?)...it will never happen. As much as I like this guy...he will never know that I have an attraction for him. I do respect my boyfriend and he deserves so much more than what I give him.
