Every piece of fiction should have a purpose, and I love feeling it sink into my bones.

Tonight I watched Avatar instead of studying. The movie was better than I thought it would be.

When my thirteen-year-old cousin watched it, I'm sure he thought it was wicked great because of the violence, etc. Comparatively, when I watched it, I got super emotional, cried, and wanted to preserve every culture, species, everything. No more violence. Everyone seeing each other as we really are: brothers and sisters.

As I dramatically displayed my feelings to my cousin, he laughed and shook his head. Oh, Allison.

Oh, me.
