First, I want to appreciate how most of y’all’s parents seem to be approximately my age! I love being the oldest person in the room.
My dad loved Airplane, Murder by Death and Top Gun. And various car-related movies like Grand Prix, Le Mans, Ford vs Ferrari.
My loved Love Actually, When Harry Met Sally, Benny & Joon, Juno, various problematic feel-good movies about Black and white people learning lessons, and musicals.
I wish she could’ve seen Good Luck to You Leo Grande. She would’ve loved it.
She walked out of the movie Cleopatra crying because she hated it so much.

My mom became much more of a movie watcher later in life. We saw When Harry Met Sally in the theater together. She alsoloved Love Actually, Benny & June and Juno. And older classics I don’t remember.
My dad would crack up watching Airplane, Young Frankenstein and Murder by Death. Also was very into Top Gun!

My dad loves ferris bueller’s day off and oceans eleven. ive watched both upwards of a dozen times and can now quote them back and forth with him.
Meanwhile, my mom loves pride and prejudice (2006) and four weddings and a funeral.
I’m thankful for their interest in showing me movies when I was little and as Ive grown up.

The occupation persists, the oppression persists, the torture persists.
The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished.

I’m 50, I say because that makes me unusual in this context. I paid [redacted] for a ticket to the Eras Tour after listening to tswift for 3 weeks, and it was worth it. In second grade my teacher gave kids birthday spankings over her knee, and in sixth grade my teacher told my mom I hadn’t blossomed yet. I’m a good friend, mostly to people on the internet. I’m good at conversing with strangers. I’m usually the oldest person at the show but don’t feel like it. I’m good at being helpful. I’m sarcastic and funny and make myself laugh. I’m a good graphic designer and a conscientious driver. I’m a good photographer and I can successfully follow recipes. I don’t use my Peloton enough. I did a lot of caregiving for my mom for several years, and we enjoyed spending time together even if it was mostly in waiting rooms and my car. The fastest I ever ran a mile was eight minutes and six seconds. I drove the same car for 20 years and then replaced it with another one. I enjoy tipping, giving money to people on the street and Disneyland. I am a fan of baseball, Formula 1 racing and the Criterion Channel. I solve about 80% of New York Times crosswords. I take Prozac and Wellbutrin, and take Trazodone to sleep through the night. I wish I had a glassed in solarium so I could sleep in it on rainy nights. I would like to have a pet cat and a garage. I could happily live eating only cereal and fruit. I overshare on the internet and undershare elsewhere. ✌️💛
