"...living amongst the carnies"
Before I met Steven, my life was plain and mediocre. I was satisfied with what I had, and contented with what I didn't. But ever since he walked into my life, I haven't gone a day without thinking of him. To say I'm captivated is a strong understatement. Sure, we've had our fair share of arguments and I did break his heart several times in a row, but I haven't stopped loving him. Not for a single damn second.
There's a quality about him that I'm deeply attracted to. I can't quite put a finger on what, but it's still there. To be perfectly honest with.. well, myself... I wish we never fought. Arguing with him is heart-wrenching, and I know I speak for both of us when I say that. All I ask for is his happiness, and I am doing the best to come across as someone who can accommodate his needs - as he is with mine - because it's a two-way street. Love is.
Yes, I love him, and that's all there is to it.
A few hours ago, stud and I watched Horrible Bosses 2.
I enjoyed that movie, not only because Jennifer Aniston (Rachel from F.R.I.E.N.D.S. - like... my favorite sitcom ever) and Jason Bateman were in it, but because Chris Pine joined the cast as the big baddie. I've been a huge fan of Chris Pine for as long as I can remember, because aside from being a Hollywood heartthrob, he also voiced one of my favorite animated character, Jack Frost (from Rise of the Guardians). The movies he stars in are usually within my circle of interest.
The movie, in my opinion, was somewhat hilarious. I'm starting to take a liking to Jason Bateman's comedy style and approach. It's unlike any other comedians that I've grown to like over the years (Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, Jim Carrey, Katherine Heigl, Kristen Wiig, Tina Fey - to name a few).
When I admire an actor/actress, I tend to "wikipedia" them, then binge-watch the films they've had a prominent role in. Needless to say, Bridesmaid and The Ugly Truth are movies I especially like.
Now, this may come as a shock to most people, but I've always wanted to join the circus and be a carny. Stud and I were bantering about this awhile ago (before he dozed off) and somehow Jen got roped into it. There is something exhilarating that inundates an open carnival, something alluring that draws me to its very presence.
Someday, if given the opportunity, I would like to be part of the circus, not as a freak though - preferably an acrobatic performer. A tiger tamer is out of the question, considering how I lack the ferocity to pacify animals. Though being around one would help fuel my fascination, and ignite my growing curiosity of what its like to be living amongst the carnies.
This life that I have... I don't ask for a lot. I want to love, live in the simplest of circumstances and have a platform to perform. At a circus doing acrobats, on stage singing my heart out, or even provocatively pole-dancing at a strip club... it matters not. As long as I get to express myself, and not be condemned on an island where creativity is stifled, confined and corked.
