Chris's Fantasy
2005-06-22 @ 7:38 a.m.

He was so hesitant, so shy, so embarrassed about telling me. I don't quite understand. Finally, though, he let his demented mind open up. Chris's fantasy was to have me dress like a Catholic school girl. That was it! I laughed and he immediately blushed. I had to tell him that I wasn't laughing at the fantasy, only at how shy he was about telling me. After all, as fantasies go in the 21st Century, it's a pretty benign fantasy. No batteries, midgets, caribou or twins.

I was expecting the old "two girls at once" bit, so I was pleasantly surprised. I don't mind the "two girls at once" bit, but that takes a lot of planning, schedule meshing and at least five phone calls. The Catholic school girl thing...I don't even have to go shopping. Even if I did, no raised eyebrows for a plaid skirt, knee highs, etc. How refreshing.

I'm also glad he said Catholic school girl. I know what I'm doing there. Everyone does. God, if he had said Mormon school girl or Quaker school girl, I wouldn't know what to do. Plus, if me dressing as William Penn turned him on I'd worry.

So that's a done deal. I can easily handle that. So one of these nights Chris is walking in on Catholic school girl Piper. Say a prayer for him.

Steve and I got together with a few people on Sunday and we watched a few movies. Someone brought The Blair Witch Project. I saw it when it first came out and thought it was good. Good, not great. When I watched it Sunday, it really made me think. What an underrated movie on so many fronts. I still think it's only good, not great, but a classic in its own right.

First, the budget had to be a joke compared with what it grossed. So in a business sense, it was genius, lucky or both.

After it was over, someone said, "That sucked. You don't see anything." I didn't say anything but I thought that aspect of it was brilliant. I enjoy ambiguity and I don't need everything spoon-fed. Not "seeing" was scarier than seeing. Your mind can be more terrifying than anything someone else can conceive. It's okay not to have definite answers; everything doesn't have to add up. It's okay that it wasn't a typical slasher film. It was different.

It does have its flaws. Like I said, a good movie with streaks of brilliance. The video constantly bouncing around was necessary but soon grew tiresome. Also, it seemed very long. Its not, but when a movie seems long, you know the editing could have been better.

So, that was my weekend Catholic school girls and Blair Witch.
