Wonder Years, migraine and sexuality...
Apr. 16th, 2002 05:15 pmWhen I woke up today I had a little bit of headache. As I rode the train to work, it transformed into a big motherfucker of a headache, accompanied with nausea and occasional gagging. Very nice... At work, I popped three 'pirins and spent the next two hours in some sort of daze since I hadn't eaten anything. Then I dragged myself into class. I was planning to check out that lecture on King Lear even though I've never really read the play o.o. My plan was to just check it out and then never return again and claim credit for it anyhow. Well, it turns out that almost the complete gang was sitting right there, waving at me happily when I entered the room in my half-dazed state! Wow... we weren't even that complete at the Harry Potter lecture! And I really had expected to be all alone there and bored, reading, drawing... The lecture sounds very nice, too, so I guess I'll give it a shot.
Went buying groceries after that. Ended up spending around $20. Holy fuck, food is so expensive... But at least I have milk and coffee now. Hmmmmm...
Ooooh Wonder Years! I don't know why but I love this series so so much. I always watch it when it's on. Always. I just love it. I can't tell why. Maybe it's the era that I like... I also like stories about struggling with growing up. And stories that are narrated in first person. In retrospective. I like that... I like "Stand by me" too... And "Malcolm in the Middle". All very nice. I like that, yes. I think I like the melancholy and the wistfullness of it. The nostalgia...
Another thing I like about The Wonder Years is how Kevin just never is lucky. Stuff just never works out for him. In your average happy family show you see a teen struggling with a big problem and then in the end it all miraculously works out and he surpasses himself and all evil and manages to do the Big Task. Not here. In Wonder Years, Kevin goes through all that and in the end screws up big time. Just like in real life...
Ah... nostalgia... *takes off socks, makes coffee, switches on TV*
More musings, induced by Wonder Years. Sexuality. I'm trying to remember, but I honestly can't. Was it ever such a big mystery to me? I know I've been informed about the basics almost since day one. I remember clearly a conversation I have with a friend in elementary school and I was using all the proper vocabulary, like ovum, impregnation, reproduction etc. So, the formalities were clear from the start. Of course, having a doc as a dad and an older brother usually helps with that... When I was around 9 I was always messing around with the boys in the neighborhood. When I was 10 I was at summer camp and learnt about the fact that the period exists and I was terrified at the thought of it! o.o Around 12 or so, a girl told me all about her experiences with other girls and it was like WOAH for me.
*thinks more* Okay, not gonna spread out my complete sexual history here, but thinking about it now it kinda WAS a mystery to me. I remember all those pillow talks I had with my best friends then, about how it works out and how it might be. I know when I was in 3rd and 4th grade, I was determined that I'd never have kids and rather adopt. The concept of not having kids at all never occured to me. I kinda always thought I'd marry and have kids. But I didn't want to have sex because I was convinced it was uncomfortable and painful. Later then, when I was a teen, a friend who was very socially conscious said "I don't know if I can answer for putting children into this world and I answered completely non-understanding, "But, why don't you want kids?". I stopped and suddenly realied I don't want them either. That I hate children even. That I'll never ever be a mom...
Oh my... one of these days I really need to analyze my sexual past... o.o
hahahaha! "Wayne said, by the end of seventh grade most guys have reached the second base. This kinda put us under pressure since most girls we knew didn't even have a second base yet!"
"That was defintely going too far. I was a pervert, not a felon."
Ah, I love this show...
