I wrote something in a previous blog about how no one ever writes anything about how complicated we can make things regarding love and like and life- habits, predispositions, etCETRA. Obviously, Aqualung had never clicked with me on that level until now. What a beautiful human, with such a sad, hopeful soul.

So, after the awkwardness that is a theater-sized screening of Horrible Bosses with one's precious little mother, I decided something- I really, really like Kevin Spacey. I didn't really care for the movie. But one part in the movie that he acted, hit me as one of the funniest things I've ever seen. In that part, I was laughing so hard and was almost completely on top of my mom (which, oddly enough, didn't feel as obnoxious at the time as it sounds now)... until I noticed she was completely ignoring me and looking straight ahead at the screen and I was still laughing to myself... Just holding her. Haha Sweet victory!!! I embarrassed her!

I used to purposely trip and fall down, knock stuff over - just make a scene - in whatever public place she would take me while I was growing up to embarrass her (and who am I kidding- it's still somewhat of a goal whether I realize it or not). I would also talk extremely loud on awkward aisles- making up embarrassing lies about her, acting like they were something of a hot topic. I would wait until she was an aisle or two over from me and then say a little too loud things like, "Hey mom! Yeah, they DO have extra strength Depends. Hey, mom! No, they're over here." The look on her face was always worth it.

Awww. That does kinda make me feel bad.
