Superman

Wow. 3 posts in 1 day - is that a record ?

Watched more Superman tonight while eating supper. I realised, that I think one of the reasons why I liked/like "The New Adventures of Superman" so much, is because I identify with the characters so much. In a weird kind of way (ignoring the male/female thing - please no rude comments) I feel like I'm a mixture (character-wise) of Clark and Lois as they're portrayed in the series, and so I like seeing how they deal with situations, and how they change through the series.

Lois - at one point during the very first episode she says to Clark that sometimes she does things, like 'jumping in the pool without checking the water level', but that that's the only way she knows how. Like her, I often feel that that's how I try to deal with things (kinda following on from the previous post). I plunge straight in. I also, like her, make myself so busy. I can seem fine, like I'm sorted and really confident, on the outside, but on the inside, I'm really insecure and when it comes down to it, I'm learning that I have trouble trusting people, like Lois does, although for me I'm not sure where this has come from - for Lois, it is because she has been hurt in the past by people she trusted, but that's not true for me, that I know of. This 'trusting people' thing especially applies when it comes to trusting God (tho praps with other people too a bit), perhaps because with God the things are quite big which He asks me to trust Him with (especially an issue at the current moment, tho I won't go into details). Even though I've seen what He has done in the past - for me, and for other people, I still seem to struggle with this.

Clark - like him, I sometimes feel like I don't belong/don't fit in. Now I'd be ok with this if it was just that being a Christian meant that I was different from other people around me, because of what I was living for and Jesus being in me. But I often feel that this isn't the case, and my 'not fitting in' comes from something else. I've always felt like this. (Kinda silly really, when, as I've come to notice, I specifically but sub-consciously go out of my way to do things differently from other people, and then feel hurt when I'm not the same as them - I know, my mind is weird huh !) Also, the whole being naive thing. I do sometimes feel like Clark does in terms of being naive to what's actually going on in the world. And the, ' wanting to do good, but struggling with issues which arise'.

Other things too, and I'm not very good at explaining, but I've tried and I hope you understand what I've been trying to say. At this point of course, I will just get told that I overanalyse TV/films far too much. I do actually do it all the time. And I think that's possibly what defines a 'good film' for me - one which provokes me to think in this way. But I can't help it. It's who I am. At least I now have a blog I can share all these 'weird and wonderful' thoughts of mine on :-)
