As in...I am 38 and realized, only recently, that Clueless was an adaptation of Emma. When I told my sister that I just realized it she replied with, "Where have you been?"
AT HOME BY MYSELF, Katie, and finally spending some time doing some stuff that doesn't require an agenda. It's weird but I don't hate it.
Anyway, tonight I held a come and go Zoom for kids to check in and say hi. The idea was they would come, say hi, and leave again. It didn't work very well. There were some who stayed the whole time and at one point I said, "If you guys don't talk I'm going to kick you out!" so they started talking. Somehow we wound up on the topic of movies and I was telling them all about the AMAZING teenage-inspired movies of the 90s and how glorious they are which is why I am currently watching "10 Things I Hate About You" and remembering why I absolutely adore this movie.
I am Kat. I'm the Shrew. I mean...think about it. If you know me at all you'll know that I am super soft on the inside (an utter sap, actually) but that hard, prickly exterior is something that lets approximately ZERO people in. Lonely? Sometimes...but also significantly easier to stay busy and focused on 8.13 million other things.
Plus...HEATH LEDGER, am I right?
Looking at Snapchat filters to determine what day it is has become my norm. I'm not proud of it but I think it could be exponentially worse so I'm going to count that as a victory, too.
I made an entire list of movies for a few of my girls to watch and I've decided to watch them, too, because reliving my high school experience (through film only, mind you) seems like a great way to connect right now. Also I've been watching Killing Eve, which I wasn't super sure about at first because I couldn't imagine Cristina Yang as British. Then I learned that she was an American who uses British lingo (which cracks me up) and her nemesis is totally obsessive and twisted.
So, naturally, I love it.
