My name is Marie. I like to think about stuff and occasionally write it down somewhere.

I have no idea why this happens, but flying always makes me really emotional. One day, I may well end up proposing to someone directly after hopping off a flight if I’m not careful, particularly if something heartstring tugging like Once is a scheduled flick. (Note to self: do not accept invitations to meet you at the airport: Danger Will Robinson! Danger!)
So anyway, I watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind again and much to the amusement of my fellow travellers, as well as secreting an unusual degree of lacrimal fluid from my eyes, I audibly gasped a few times at some of the lines which hit home pretty hard. Here are a few of the little treasures where Kaufman hit the spot:
Clementine: Too many guys think I’m a concept, or I complete them, or I’m gonna make them alive. But I’m just a fucked-up girl who’s lookin’ for my own peace of mind; don’t assign me yours.
and
Clementine: Look man, I’m telling you right off the bat, I’m high maintenance. So I’m not gonna tip-toe around your marriage or whatever it is ya got goin’ on there. If you wanna be with me, you’re with me.
and
Clementine: You don’t tell me things, Joel. I’m an open book. I tell you everything, every damn, embarrassing thing.
Brilliant.
