Superheros and Ice Queens

Today I am unsure of what to talk about.

I could tell you about Christmas shopping and what I am learning about myself. I could tell you about my changing relationships with friends.  I could tell you about my awesome date from Friday.  I could tell you about my pee habits like Katie Cooper. But I'm not Katie, so maybe I'll stick to less interesting subjects.

This morning my hair was wet when I went outside. It was like 22 degrees and some of my hair froze.  I thought that was super nifty. What if I were an ice queen with icicle hair and snow clothes? I'd probably be evil. Think about it, wouldn't you be evil if you sported frozen water all day?  I'll stick to looking like a hippie or whatever. Cause I get to stay warm and not be mean.

Lately Rich has acquired new Spider-man comics and I have taken up reading them. I've never really been into comics, but I like them and it's cool because I get to share in something that is part of who he is. His interest in the comic world doesn't define him, but it does help me know him better because it's a part of what shaped him when he was younger and it gives me insight into his brain.  The super-hero that a fellow prefers says a lot about him.  There are things about the hero's character that attracts him and about his super-powers.  This is funny when I look at my friends and which superheros they prefer. Most of them either prefer Spider-man or Batman.
Most dudes I have talked to don't really like Superman because he's a douche bag and he has no real problems and he has a savior complex and he can always fix catastrophic problems and he's an alien (which apparently turns other people off to most alien comic ideas because they should be human) and he's pretty much unstoppable. He's almost completely invincible and his only weakness is a rock, so why is there still crime?  His costume is gay. Apparently Green Lantern also has a lot of those qualities because he's only limited by his imagination.  Mutants are pretty cool though because they are still humans who are just different.  Well, now I know of one guy who likes Superman. But that's ok. The majority doesn't.

Those are some thoughts from Corey who likes Batman and Rich who likes Spider-man.

(When I was in middle-school I had a brief affair with Wonder Woman comics due to a friends influence, but my interest was negligible. So maybe I'll check her out again and figure out what comics I like and why.)

Those are my geeky thoughts and conversations at Muddy's today. ENJOY!

Tangled

So in the past 9 days or so I have seen the movie Tangled twice.  I absolutely love it. There is a great deal of adventure and excitement and of course looooove. And it is full of happiness and growth and such.

It makes me think about my own vivaciousness and personality and what type of person I would be if I had only my own company to keep. I hope I would be cool like Rapunzel, but sadly, I think I am not.  So maybe I can work on being adventurous and satisfied with myself and being creative etc.
