movies and rambling

am watching titanic. this montage of people as the ship sinks and the string quartet plays makes me teary every time. and now i think i'm going to shut up and watch it instead of ramble on about all the little bits. oh, king theoden. or the captain, whichever. lol i was also marveling a bit at leo dicaprio because i just got through watching blood diamond, and he's obviously much younger in this movie. i just thought it was surprising how much younger he looked, because he doesn't look at all old in blood diamond. also, speaking of him, i watched the aviator the other night and it sparked a bit of a fic that's turning out completely stupid, but i just have to get it out, y'know? so i'm writing it, even though i doubt i'll ever be satisfied with it enough to post. because it really isn't good at all. unfortunately, that's kind of how i'm feeling about runaway, but i'm determined to finish that one, and soon. it WILL have an ending, i swear.

on an unrelated note, i hate my period with a fiery passion, and my back aches something awful. but y'know, i think i read somewhere that women are at their most creative when they're on their period. doesn't make it a whole lot better, does it? *curls up in bed with a book*
