My sister Alina, I will be calling you Alina in this because I know it bugs you to hear me say Alina. I love you and your time away at college was Hell. I really missed you. It was partially because I missed our conversation insulting pop culture and politics. I think another reason was that I…

 Shit. Shit.  Iloveyou. iloveyou!!!!!!!!  I can be callous.  I am very callous.  I don’t like your taste in music or in movies and other stuff. I don’t know why I insult you for it because your tastes don’t make me think any less of you.  I know you are a genius.  A full-blown genius.  Of the kind you see in movies a la John Nash from a Beautiful Mind (except 10 times more attractive—and that is saying something, sir, because Russel Crowe is the most attractive Aussie on the planet), or Lucas played by Corey Haim (because he was a sweetheart and I couldn’t resist mentioning him, sorry =/), and a whole bunch of others, I am just drawing a blank.  Maybe I’m wrong.  Maybe I’m the one that just doesn’t get it.  Lol, nah.  We have different tastes.  I prefer a good story from pure imagination, you like something real, down-to-earth, and “relatable”.  I’m not sure how relatable books about drug addicts can be for you, but it’s not my place to judge.  I mean, how relatable is DBZ and Avatar?  Ladeda. 

I’m sorry I’m so controlling.  Why does it matter to me what you watch and listen to?  It always has.  I’ve always tried to manipulate who you are.  When you started school and your personality changed as much as it did and mom thought it was your teacher’s fault, I thought it was my fault.  I thought I had played with your emotions so much I’d broken you or something.  I still don’t know if your stutter or “social-awkwardness” was my fault.  And I hate myself for it.  And I try not to manipulate you now, and I promise I never do it out of malice, but I don’t know if I do a good job of controlling myself, even now.

Linet it my best friend.  She’s like a sister to me.  But she and I only see eye-to-eye to a certain extent.  Even when I don’t agree with you, I get you, and you get me.  I love college.  I love being away from home.  But I think about taking you up there with me all the time, because I want to share with you something I really love. 

I’d like to say I am the sort of person that says what she means and means what she says.  I’m not.  Not with you.  I should tell you how amazing you are.  I should tell you it’s scary talking to you sometimes because you have the body of a 17 year old and the mental capacity of someone or something infinitely older.  I should tell you I worry for you because I feel you will waste your potential.  Potential energy—you are teetering on the top of Mount Everest, don’t just sit there, convert that shit into kinetic energy!

Don’t listen to my insults.  They are not directed at you.  I fucking love you, too, little bro.

Bibi.  Ha!

i don’t understand why everyone’s complaining about the movie.
it was a kid’s show to begin with, the dialogue is supposed to be corny & whatnot (just like it was in the show!). it did lack a lot of story behind katara & sokka… hell, it lacked a bunch of parts. however, they had to fit 20…

 The dialogue in the show was kids show corny.  The movie’s was just fucking awful, poorly thought out, and just fucking insulting to the audience.  They rushed through the plot that should have called for a movie approaching three hours in length.  Yeah, it’s nice to look at.  The imagery in a lot of the movie is great.  But when have you ever just looked at a movie.  No one just looks at movies.  We watch movies and engage with them.  This movie gave us nothing to stimulate us. 

Cheers.
