I feel like all my entries get posted from work lately. I guess it means I work too much, or spend too much time on the computer at work. Naw...I'd like to think it means I work too much, at least it feels that way. Three days a week...not my favourite thing to do.
Went with "Enhetsfront"-people (larpers) to see the movie version of Gymnaslærer Pedersen (High-school teacher Pedersen?) yesterday. I'm discouraged and kinda sad. I feel like the magic was missing, like they'd taken one of my favourite books and tried to make a movie of it, but failed. I guess it was an okay movie, but Pedersens love for AKP-ml (a Norwegian communist party from the '70ies) was missing or made fun of, and thus a wholly one-sided tale of AKP-ml ensued, leaving the most interesting aspect of the book, Pedersens "indre splittelse", his reservations and yet intense love for the party, untouched. The fact that after a decade of being in the party he paints on the one hand a rather negative picture of it, but on the other hand a picture of a decade filled with dreams, hopes and intense feeling that he still longs for and that he will always love. The fact that Gymnaslærer Pedersen really believes that that decade was the best of his life, is totally missing in the movie. And that is after all what makes the book so beautiful, so how could the movie be beautiful without it? I'm disapointed.
This weekend I'm going to a larp called "Limbo" where I'll be playing myself in a few months. I've had an argument with my fiancee, a big one, and I ended up in my car, driving away to get some air. I was speeding, since I was so angry. Suddely a boy walks out in front of the car. I swirvle to get away from him and end up in the other lane. The last thing I see is head lights. I wake up in limbo and have to decide whether or not I can live with both the responsibility of maybe having killed one or more people, and the fact that I could have become disfigured or handicapped from the crash. Will my fiancee really love me if I'm totally disfigured? And would I be able to live with myself if I was? Would I be able to face the fact that I'm responsible for all the other people involved in the crash, and could I live with their lives on my concience? I'm kinda scared to go, and yet exited. I hope it'll be fun.
