Rollercoaster
So after taking some NeoCitran and watching the shows I do a quick channel surf before shutting off the TV when I see part of Playland and a couple semi-familiar actors, a lure I can’t refuse. Eventually the plot draws me away from the game of figuring out where exactly they are and what year it is.
Two plot lines were of particular note. The first a girl who’s slept with most of her boyfriend’s friends. Generally because she was lonely but on occasion to prove she wasn’t fat - I guess Dawna wasn’t the first person to use those lines…perhaps it almost brings those motivations from the field of excuses and into the realm of reasons, thankfully it doesn’t matter as that messed up time is behind me.
The second plot line to get my attention involved the same characters. Upon discovery that she’s pregnant they enter into a suicide pact that involves jumping off the top of the roller coaster. In the end she reveals that she’s miscarried and doesn’t want them to go through with it. He jumps.
The moral as I see it is that sex can mess up your life if you lose sight of what’s important because in the end what you need most is someone to hold your hand during the scary parts…like when you’re sick and medicated late at night pondering the meaning of life.
