I watched Lost in Translation and Garden State today and I can't decide which character I'm more in love with, Natalie Portman's or Scarlett Johansson's. I guess what I'm really saying is would I rather be cool like Zach Braff or cool like Bill Murray. But I'm not nearly as cool as either of them and I don't think I could get a cool girl like those two either.

My mom has been away for nearly 2 months now and today she called me and she was asking me questions about what I've been doing and things like that and I didn't have anything to tell her. Then she asked me if I was alright because it felt like there was a wall built up between the two of us but I don't know why she would say that because it seems to me that there has always been something between me and my parents. And I think that all goes back to my inability to connect with people. If I can't connect with my parents how can I connect with other people who haven't been nearly as prominent in my life?
