not to play into any stereotypes or anything but why did the woman behind me at Ford v. Ferrari complain that the engine sounds were too loud? i mean, what did she expect when she sat down to watch a movie about racing cars?

my posts have turned into 33% formula one, maybe i should just create a side blog for next season lmao
well, that's a compliment if I've ever heard one. 🔥🥚
I've started watching Good Omens with my grandma and she really enjoyed the first episode, which is fascinating, because she's by far the most religious person I know and usually frowns whenever God or Angels are mentioned in an even slightly different way than she always imagined them/saw them portrayed in church.
She also really likes Crowley which is weird in the same way, but very understandable.
So, after I found out my best friend just casually thought I had Aspergers for a few years, I has a conversation with him and a very good friend of mine yesterday. We talked about dating (for some reason), and my good friend told me she often watches a TV Show with her mum which is all about coupling up people with physical and mental disabilities.
"So, they have people with Down Syndrome, people with Dwarfism, people with autism...", casually points at me, "...people in a wheelchair..."
I, focusing in small things more than I should as usual, of course notice that gesture and look at her quizzically. "Why'd you point at me?"
"Well, I thought you'd see yourself there, you know, because they also try to find dates for people with autism."
That's the second one in two weeks. I get that I'm socially awkward, but I'm pretty sure that's just me being me.
Two Weird Things:
The music that plays during the menu on the Hannibal DVD is so somber, but in a genuinely sad way, and not a fucked up way (if that makes sense)
Said music also reminds me of the House MD opening for the second season, which tells me my obsession is getting weird again.
Okay, short story time: when I was around six or seven years old we owned a PlayStation 2 and on said PS2, we had various editions of the SingStar games. On one of them, my favourite song used to be "Don't Stop Me Now". Now, the thing is, English is not my native language, so it was all just a lot of gibberish to me, but I really enjoyed the video - in which you can see Freddie Mercurys front teeth very well. And that made me really happy at the time - because I had a huge overbite (like, I could stick my thumb between my upper and my lower teeth) and because of this early influence never felt weird or bad about it. And although other kids called me names, as children do, I didn't really mind, because whenever I tried to sing that song in the afternoon with my mum and my brother, I saw this famous guy with big teeth and subconsciously felt better. I think that really set the base for my "self-confidence is all I have and you can't take that away from me"-attitude.
I went to see a part modern/part traditional play-version of Shakespeare in Love yesterday, and I have thoughts.
Shakespeare has kissed one woman (his love interest) throughout the whole play. He also kissed three men (without it being played for laughs more than the whole play was.)
He didn't get his love interest. He was more-or-less chill about it, after a while. The play ended with him and his (dead) friend talking about the future.
He dressed up as a woman, and the funny thing wasn't him dressing up as a woman, but the way he talked - still in a deep masculine voice, but with extreme dialect.
A secondary character had a slight redemption arc from asshole to dork, and he was supported by everyone. Made me feel good.
Said character saw Shakespeare and love-interest-who-dressed-as-a-man kiss. He threw himself to the floor, started screaming and eventually yelled: "I can't believe I just saw that! Maybe in a better, more tolerant world and time, this would be considered completely normal, but this is the 16TH CENTURY!". I really liked him.
There was another woman-dressed-as-a-man in the cast, apart from the love interest, and it was fully ignored. ("And Mr. Man is definitely not a woman, that would be ridiculous!")
The Queen of England was very chill. She basically just liked dogs and represented strong women in mens positions.
When anyone forgot their text (it was premier night), the prompter didn't even try to be subtle. She just yelled the lines as loud as she could and the actors were like "Mhm, yeah, that." and continued.
They had an after party, so when they shoved one of the villains under the stage, one of them yelled: "Bye-bye! See you at the party in the foyer in an hour!"
Basically, I really enjoyed it, and I'm just writing this now because the critics were not as amused as I was.
