So yesterday I hung out with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
renenet, and we watched the first Varg Veum movie (<3 <3 <3) followed by Scooby Road, which I had never seen before, and topped off with a gay surfing movie called Shelter, which I had never heard of before (although I see it's got four Yuletide stories from last year.)
So, okay: it's a gay surfer movie about two guys who surf together falling in love. But much more than that, it's a movie about how terrifying it is to fall in love with a guy - a guy who's older, out, financially independent from his family and able to do what he wants, who casually mentions he was going to go to Barcelona but wasn't feeling like it - when you're a barely blue-collar kid scrambling to keep your family together, working two jobs and sharing a room with your nephew. Halfway through the movie I turned to R and exclaimed "It's an age difference thing AND a class thing! My buttons! Pushed!" and she pointed out to me that it was also a KID thing and if only someone were telepathic it would be perfect for me.
SO THEN
( Spoilers! )
And now I'm going back to bed because it's barely light out and I have many fic bunnies to contemplate.
