Lately I've been making my way through my roommate's DVD collection... Things at home are bad, dramariffic, so I spend most of my time hiding in my room. One of tonight's movies was American Beauty and I've found it a bit of an inspiration. Not in the way that you might expect, the creepy old man lusting after his daughter's slutty friend... But in the stalkerish boy next door with the crush on the daughter...
I was watching the scene where the boy writes her name in fire on the lawn and her friend teases about him being obsessed, dancing in front of the window just in case he's filming... and he zooms in on the mirror to see her smiling, obviously touched. Later they hook up and she obviously finds it sort of hot. So do I.
I'm thinking about writing a series of stories along similar lines. Should be interesting... Likely I'll post chapters as I go.
