side character energy

when you're living in someone else's movie

you’d never call Joan Cusack, Carrie Fisher or Frances McDormand wallflowers, but sometimes even the best women are just there to serve the plot

Let’s just cut to the chase: I got a bad tattoo on Sunday. I got a tattoo so bad that after I texted a photo of it to a friend, she immediately wrote back: “I can’t lie, that’s the worst tattoo I’ve ever seen." Said tattoo was supposed to be a lemon but came out looking like a fish and it all happened because I inadvisedly, unexpectedly spent an afternoon as the middle-aged sidekick in the plot of someone else’s life.
