This holiday(and every single day of my life) I am thankful for both my blood and adopted families, who give me the strength and motivation to go on. I couldn't imagine a life without you all, and I am so happy for the home we've built together in London. Good times keep coming xoxo

Memento Mori

Memory can change the shape of a room; it can change the color of a car. And memories can be distorted. They're just an interpretation, they're not a record, and they're irrelevant if you have the facts.

Tonight we watched Memento projected on the wall of the living room. Everybody keeps telling me to watch it and I can totally see why now. Memento is really tight and well done as a movie, and also as a study of the philosophy of memory. Not to give the film too much credit but it's an interesting perspective that puts focus on memory and our dependency on our ability to remember. Which is something we really take for granted. Most of our knowledge at any moment is made up of memories yet it's so unreliable and easy to manipulate if we try hard enough.

VERONICA (V.O.)

Heather told me she teaches people Real Life.

INT. HIGH SCHOOL HALLWAY--DAY

Continuing her narration, VERONICA glides through a bustling high school hallway with a frozen smile.

VERONICA (V.O.)

She said Real Life sucks Losers dry.

If you want to fuck with the eagles,

you have to learn to fly.

INT. HALLWAY OUTSIDE CAFETERIA--DAY

With her back turned to the viewer, VERONICA stands at the outskirts of the cafeteria entrance. The viewer's viewpoint approaches and finally curls around VERONICA to reveal that she is writing in a diary, wearing a monocle

VERONICA (V.O.)

I said so you teach people how to spread their wings and fly. She said

Yes.

THE DIARY PAGE

VERONICA'S pen sways across the diary page forming the words echoed by her voice-over.

VERONICA (V.O.)

I said

You're Beautiful.
