Miss Piggy the Hero

My best friend's sister is full of wisdom.  Her truths are so acute, and so simple, that they seem almost child-like.  But the simplicity only makes her truths more potent.

Miss Piggy should be every girl's hero.  She bold, she's powerful, she knows what she wants and actively pursues her desires, she is beautiful, confident, glamorous, and perfectly happy with her weight and her danishes.

An' she don't take trash off-a nobody.

She tells you when you're wrong, demands your respect and still calls her loverboy "Kermie, darling."

Miss Piggy is feminine and strong. And despite being a little selfish, she still always aims for the greater good.

I found this excellent quote (overlaid upon an excellent 1980-something photo) on the internet:

Film Review: Beasts of the Southern Wild

"In a forgotten but defiant bayou community cut off from the rest of the world by a sprawling levee, a six-year-old girl exists on the brink of orphanhood. Buoyed by her childish optimism and extraordinary imagination, she believes that the natural order is in balance with the universe until a fierce storm changes her reality." -Amazon.com

I give this movie **** out of ***** (four stars out of five.)

I had no idea what this movie was about.  At first I thought is was going to be like "Where the Wild Things Are."

But pretty quickly, one realizes that it's very avant garde.

So basically, it is a little kid who is inches away from homelessness and orphanhood.  She's trying to explain to herself how the world works.

So basically, a child tries to tell her story.

It's cute and I cried.

It's weird at first, and there's still some things that my brain hasn't quite worked out.  I lived in the South for a while, so some of the things in there will make less sense to you, than they did to me.

Overall, I liked it.

But I'm still not sure why . . .

It is on my list of movies to watch when I want an excuse to cry.

THE END.

So, I received an email from a website that I joined last year.  The website is http://www.elfwood.com/.  I admit that I joined it at an age of nerdiness, but I confess that I still love it.

It is a fantasy/sci-fi art/writing website.  People come and post their art or writing and use it to open discussions on art or for suggestions.

Well, the message said "We haven't seen you in a while."  And I thought Oh, yeah.  I should visit. Previously, I had always done this in an art-oriented way.  I only wanted to see the pwitty pictas.  (Maybe it's a sign of maturity, that I'm not just looking at picutre-books anymore. :P Right.)

But I started reading some of the writing on there.  It was AWESOME!  In all caps: AWESOME!

There are so many talented writers that I can't even stand it!

I am inspired!  I must write!  I MUST!!!

Once again, in all caps: AWESOME!
