Have you ever mistaken a complete stranger for your own reflection? One day, years ago, when I was actually trying to do something with my life and attending college...the first time, I turned a corner and got goosebumps. I looked into the eyes of my double. Not my twin but my exact human replica. It was like I was looking at myself in a mirror. I don't think he saw it in return. It was if I was looking into a different dimension and his Universe was hovering through a one sided mirror. He was looking through me not at me and I could feel my temperature rising like I was never supposed to be in that spot at that particular time. The only day the worm hole gods fucked up and left their post unattended to shit was this day and our paths crossed. The anxiety of the moment was making the beads of sweat turn to streams on my forehead and I almost lost my muscle control to my stomach. It only lasted a moment; fraction of time, really, but it felt like I was looking into my future for decades and I could see what it was I was supposed to become. I blame all my failures on this moment. This moment that the gods screwed up, walked away from the window, dropped the cosmic balls.
I think it is this moment in my life that has made it so hard for me to just pick a team. Jacob or Edward...why is it so hard?! Curse you Demi-gods!

LOL jeez-- don't pick either, pick Lestat. Or Wolverine. But really? Edward looks like a dopey gargoyle. And Jacob looks like a hick with his stupid jeans and wifebeaters.
ReplyDeleteHave you read Ann Rice's Vampire Chronicles? Amazing! Read The Vampire Lestat. Won't regret it.
Its freaky, I have seen two people who come to the theater now that look EXACTLY like my friends when they were young. I swear to god if I ever have a picture of my one friend and that kid comes in I will show you, its really scary!!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Lestat! Especially in the movie when Stewart Townsend played him (Queen of teh Damned) though the book was much better than the movie; it's hard to get Stewart out of your head once you've seen it...Lestat you may haunt my dreams for all eternity!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to pick up the Vampire Chronicles. Hmmm...quite.
