The Obsessive Diaries: Steamers, Big Heads & New Music, Oh My!

obsessive diaries

Is it already time for another edition? Time flys when you are obsessing! Last week I dished on  my undying love from everything to Pinterest to James Franco to shelving for my nail polish.

Which, by the way, that shelf that I joked about screwing up? It’s down now thanks to the decision to start leaning and sliding all my nail polishes to the edge of death.

This week, I am kicking off this installment with:

BABY PICS

Actually old pics in general. I’ve always been the creep with the camera pretty interested into photography so I love going through photos from back in the day and having a good laugh. Recently I was diving into an old box that had a lot of family pictures and I ran across one of my baby mugshots.

babyI’ve always been a player for the Big Head team but I didn’t realize I was literally born into it. GOD BLESS MY MOTHER.

When I was about 4 or 5 I would get teased for the size of my head and my parents would always tell me to come back by saying my head was so big because it was full of knowledge. That would have possibly been true until the day I fucked that theory up by getting my head stuck between the apartment gates due to me trying to squeeze through to get to my grandmother whom had just pulled up. The actual door to the gate was just around the corner.

5 Films That Make Me Want To Get My Tubes Tied

09WENEED-articleLarge

When I think about my future, I’m not completely sure whether or not I want to have children. I don’t dislike kids in general; it’s really the thought of my own that scare me. Is there a Return Policy that comes with this baby? No? Can I just make an even exchange? No?

As if those concerns weren’t high enough, the other day I decided to rent a few films and one of them was the 2011 Drama We Need To Talk About Kevin, based off of the 2003 novel by Lionel Shriver. It follows a mother named Eva (Tilda Swinton) who struggles to bond with her son Kevin. From birth, Kevin was a handful—constantly screaming and crying, so much to the point where Eva’s only real moment of peace is that at a construction site. As little Kevin gets older the signs become increasingly alarming to Eva–while Kevin is viewed by others as “normal”, there is something very much so wrong with him. That’s all I can say on this premise without giving everything else away but the entire film is haunting, shocking, and definitely putting me in no rush to have kids.  ‘Kevin’ also stars normally funny man John C. Reilly as the father and the beautiful (and new celebrity crush—sorry Josh Peck) Ezra Miller as the older Kevin.

This film got me thinking about other films I’ve seen in the past that have now re-sparked my fear in having children.
