Remember the Real Winona?

After seeing Winona Ryder in Black Swan the OR Ladies and I contemplated her best performances. Beetlejuice, Mermaids, anything from the eighties - but I had a nagging suspicion that I had seen her in something good. Something watchable. . .

So when I was waiting in line at Whole Foods, after picking up my five dollar chicken in the hopes that it would last me a few meals, saying to myself, "I really thought I'd be more sucessful than this at twenty-eight," it dawned on me. I'd heard that line before.

Lelaina: I was really gonna be something by the age of twenty-three.

Troy: Honey, all you have to be by the age of twenty-three. . . is yourself.

Winona Ryder was great in something - Reality Bites



I miss my sweetheart.
