Dear Diary, My Teen Angst Bullshit Has A Body Count. How very!
Well, I found this picture and thought it'd make a good Halloween caption. I mean, we are only a few days away from one of my favorite holidays of the year. But, like the caption that I DID make for Halloween, it's mostly quotes from some of my all-time best movie picks.
In this case, the 80's classic (I realized that I said 90's in the caption, but perhaps the kids in the story wouldn't KNOW that!) HEATHERS. It's just so damn quotable, and probably couldn't be made today, in a post Columbine world. I remember working at a Blockbuster in the 90's, and every weekend, a group of teens would rent the movie .. and it made me wonder which clique they were in and how they would relate to the characters. I was in that weird realm of being in a bunch, but not identifying with any of them, as I was on sports teams, but not a jock. Played instruments, but wasn't a band person. Took computer science and calculus, but wasn't a geek. Wore a leather jacket and listened to punk and metal, but wasn't a "burn out". As far as Breakfast Club, I was everyone BUT the princess. Of course, now I'd LOVE to be the princess, but that wasn't me at the time. Which clique were YOU part of in High School?
SO yeah, this doesn't really GO any where, does it? Well, other than raising morals of things like, "is 'repurposing' a life better than taking a life?" I mean, she doesn't kill their souls, but she does kill their former identities. That was where I was going at the end of the caption. The whole Craft "I bind you to do no harm, to yourself or to others," comes into play with the ethics raised. I don't think this caption is that deep, but it can make you think of some of the outcomes of our TG creations.
Anyway, enjoy! There's still one 'almost body-swap' caption left for someone to claim as a starring role. Look at the last two posts to see more about it. Be back closed to Halloween. Maybe a post on Saturday night? I'll see you then!
