lol one of the first things i complained about on here was how much letterboxd hated the Ghost World movie... i watched it again last night and remembered one of the main complaints was that Enid managed to do everything wrong and screw up her life. and I just Do Not think she did. She's 18, and the only thing she did wrong was get fired from her job on day 1. She rejected her computer job because she didn't want it. Her found art piece was too controversial, and someone who had never even met her forced a failing grade upon her. She grew apart from her friend after highschool like people tend to do, which to be fair, was more obvious in the book than the movie. Fucking an old man was in bad taste but eh, whatever. If anything it's Seymour's fault.
"Enid ruined her whole life" is an ironically teenage take. I mean, it's a coming of age film geared toward teenagers, so I'm not surprised. but she just seems like a moody teenager who runs into bad things happening to her. the point is that she couldn't have known. she doesn't have the tools to deal with these events because she's fucking 18. the movie is about how she's 18. you were even dumber when you were 18.
Enid is going to be fine. There's nothing wrong with her. They should've included the last line of the book in the movie, I think.
Didn't have a "forever searching" dream last night even though I went to bed watching videos abut archeology. Should I get into headshot photography as a side gig? I hate mah job. I want to go to the mall. Omg also seeing the old guy tonight after work. π§π»ββοΈ it's important to remember you still have a life on a weekday.

dollhouse stats so far:
dollhouse kit itself: $15 at estate sale.
glue, filler, sandpaper: $15-ish from harbor freight.
saws and clamps: stolen from my father.
outer paint: used, $2 at a junk store.
all the trinkets: found on the ground, given as gifts, repurposed bits of things from around the house.
A total of $32 but now I have to buy WOOD for the missing pieces. And maybe some wallpaper for the inside.
