juno.

i’m watching juno instead of doing other things. other things being wash the dishes, do some admin for work, have a good bath, make some dinner, clean the windows.

every time i watch juno mcguff do her little dance of dealing with life with wit and dry detail of not giving a shit,  i am inspired and i resonate.

Hells, even down to the scene of dropping her book and says things like “went live” and her mate says “honest to blog!” and the whole idea of being faced with finding out you’re pregnant and knowing, in an instant, the instant where you realise that ‘babies have fingernails’ that you’re ‘staying pregnant’.

and the moment where she tells her folks she’s mcguff up the duff. will says her stepmother’s reaction is exactly like my mother’s was that christmas eve.

and the soundtrack lives in my heart. it is the song that my friends sing to me when i have forgotten the words.

and here i am thinking and singing along

and happy beyond sunshine i chose this way. and that this way was chosen for me. juno chose her life and way, and i chose mine. but, right down to those stripey knee highs, she resonates with me.

if you want to know anything about me, ever, watch this movie.
