Go Home.

Fourth day of trying to pretend my skin isn't there...

Today was pretty awesome. Went to work, worked out after work, went home, did some chores at home I've gotten behind on because I'm hardly home. (However, I neglected the chores I've REALLY been neglecting lately, haha.)

At work, I read half a chapter in my textbook. And while reading, my hands were at it again--- feeling up my skin. But today, it wasn't too bad actually. I had my hands play with pens, my water bottle, my coffee/tea mug, whenever I could to keep them 'busy'. I noticed a tiny decrease in my hand movement, which is awesome. But I still bit and picked my lips a little. Gotta work on that...

(Oh and last night's last-minute blog? Well... It got kind of worse after that. :/ Bleh! What can ya do? Just gotta stay positive despite the setbacks...)

Moving on... Tonight has been good! Didn't hang with my boyfriend like I usually do on Saturday nights, but before evening arrived, I watched Donnie Darko for the first time in my life with my brother and his girlfriend (his girlfriend is pretty much a DD novice). My brother bought it today for some unexplained reason. It's on my list of movies I've been meaning to see (I had only seen a 20 second clip of DD back in 2004). I just don't watch a lot of tv or movies like I did as a youngster and teenager... so I'm proud of myself for sitting down long enough to enjoy a movie. Woo!

Anyway, I'm now alone in the house with my 3 quirky Weimaraner dogs, so I'm watching DD for the second time. I meant to watch the DVD's extra features, but just ended up watching it all over again. Ha! I love movies that make you ponder for hours, days, or years... :) (I definitely still have a couple unanswered questions about this movie.)

Needless to say... Donnie Darko is easily near the top of my favorite movies list. I love his character altogether. It's easy to relate to, moping about through life, I know many people probably feel that way. I love all the literary devices used in it. And the reference to 'deus ex machina'... Theatre terms are great.

Can't wait for my boyfriend to watch this movie. He watches movies to no end, but he hasn't seen this one. I was astonished. Well, I guess he's more a fan of the comedy genre (which I am too), so he may not be too quick to pick out this one on his own. Oh, he's just gonna LOVE the attempted masturbation scene and the fact that Seth Rogen is in it. Seriously! ;)

Alrighty then. Goodnight. May I not mess up my skin before we meet again tomorrow. night.
