I am currently watching The Matrix for the first time. I feel like it's constantly on TV, but the Fates always conspired to keep me from watching it - something else more interesting is on, Mom is home and won't change the channel, I turn it on too late to understand anything. Like I always like to say, I'm also not usually the top to just sit myself in front of the television and turn on a movie. I always feel like there's something more important I could be doing.
I also think the bellybutton bug freaked me out the first time I tried to watch this. Because my dad, knowing how soul twin-ish we usually are with all this kickass sci-fi/fantasy action/adventure/sentient computers, was all, "You're gonna love this!" And then I was all, "I'm eight and WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED."
Anyway, we just saw the part in the movie when Neo (Keanu - whoa! - for those of you who aren't pop culture savvy) goes to see the Oracle, the awesome old black woman who tells him not to feel bad about breaking the vase. To avoid spoilers and give some focus to this little vignette, I'll just focus on the line that made me go all warm and fuzzy inside: "No one needs to tell you you're in love. You just know it, through and through."
