Wow... I haven't bothered to write in this thing for quite awhile, eh? I think it's because - sadly enough - not much has been happening lately. Over the past few months I've slipped into a bit of a routine, and while it's not a bad one... I must confess that it's been less than thrilling.

Today I was thinking about movies, and how life sort of plays out like a film. While I rattled off the answers to obvious questions such as "How do I get to The Maid of the Mist?" and "What IS Niagara's Fury?" I was actually thinking about what genre the movie of my life might fall under. Hmmm... there are some comedic aspects to it, I suppose... there's the odd dash of drama, and lately there's been a good bit of romance... a teensy bit of suspense (read: stress-induced canker sores and uncertainty about the future), and I'd say that it's a smidgen lacking in adventure. Overall, it's not the most interesting flick out there, but it's passible and pleasant enough. The plot is rather annoying - it involves a girl who seems to feel alone no matter what. This girl frequently sabotages friendships and finds it extremely difficult to be close to other people for some [unknown] reason. Perhaps this stems from her tendency to "mull," "stew," and generally over-think things. ;-) Maybe the plot would improve if the girl could find a way to stop dwelling on the past (and present, for that matter!) and to quit thinking of herself as the protagonist?

Everyone is a movie. Every life has a plot... an ever-changing plot. I wonder if somehow everyone on Earth is unwittingly playing a role in an epic masterpiece called "Human Nature." I wonder if all of our stories could somehow link with others'? If you took all of the little films and strung them together, what would you get? What genre are you living?
