Looking at the world

Curt: We set out to change the world and ending up… just changing ourselves.
Arthur: What's wrong with that?
Curt: Nothing! … If you don't look at the world.
(Todd Haynes, Velvet Goldmine)So, when your father whom you've left under the sea for all eternity comes back after three months, really pissed off, and tells you the reason why you did that ( Read more... )

I don't think any parent has ever looked at the world their child lived in and felt it was perfect as is.

abetterlie June 25 2007, 07:18:15 UTC

I guess. And I don't want perfect, you know, just better.

osborn_heir June 25 2007, 07:20:43 UTC

Better is always good, but I appreciate what we have now.

abetterlie June 25 2007, 07:46:14 UTC

What we have now is great, Harry. Emphasis on "we", though. It should be better for other people, too.

... I know I sound totally preachy, sorry. It's what I believe, though.

That, and that everyone should be allowed to download songs and tv episodes without legal prosecution. Permission to strangle people who talk during movies wouldn't be bad, either, except when they have curly hair you can pull, obviously.

So. You're liking being Uncle Connor, then?

abetterlie June 25 2007, 12:25:16 UTC

Yeah, I do.

kara_marie June 25 2007, 12:27:10 UTC

You kinda got it all, didn't you?

abetterlie June 25 2007, 12:39:02 UTC

Kara, what is it you want from me? Seriously? If I say yes, you'll think I'm a gloating bastard, if I say no, you'll think I'm an ungrateful slob, so I don't think you want an answer to that at all.

*locked*

Would you feel better if I told you early on I wondered whether Harry wouldn't better of marrying Natalie and doing the normal family thing? Or that I still sometimes think I'm going to screw it up, demon wise or just me-wise? Would you?
