Awhile back the boys at News Askew and I put this bad boy together. Go into the "My First Time" section for a look at how Chasing Amy affected some of the folks who frequent the board.

: Thank you. I touched upon this in my last post,but now, it is relevant. Hmm...where to start? How about the beginning? Um, so I'm doing a play right now, and I fell hard for a girl. I fell so hard that I was reduced to writing poetry to keep my sanity. So for about a month I've liked her, but I only started writing poems on tuesday (7/4). Today I have written my last poem, for she is now going out with a complete asshole. Sounds almost like Brodie-Rene-Shannon triangle, except that I never had my "Rene." Anyways, I see her with the asshole, and he was kissing her and whatnot, I basically fell apart. Worst of all, I had to be in the car as he drove her home/kissed her goodnight. I wanted to puke. Once I got home, the only thing I wanted to do was watch Chasing Amy (of course, its the one I haven't gotten the dvd for yet, so I had to pull out the old vhs copy). Some people use punching something, beating a drum, primal screaming as a release. I use Chasing Amy. The movie speaks so much to me when I'm feeling down. The car scene, one of the most powerful. The parking lot...god. I was so fuckin depressed and when I get like that, chasing amy takes my mind off of my worries. I was momentarily happy. Then I thought of her this morning, and I felt worse. Then the asshole showed up at my house and I wanted to punch him. But I didn't. So thank you Kevin, thank you for Chasing amy, for it is the only way that I could get through this heart break. Thank you for this time, and for all the numerous other times I've needed it. (which has been every time I've asked a girl out) Thank you.
