leoni is AMAZING.
i was woken up by my american charge's mom (mac - a kid i worked with for my community service). i guess the main point of the call was to wish me a happy passover.
really, really nice people. very messed up, though. i'm very glad that i made such a good impression on them - unfortunately i'm in a place right now where i really can't make real contact. and to be honest, as much as i enjoyed working with them, i don't see myself having enough time for them. every time they call i feel guilty about not staying in touch - and especially about knowing that i won't be staying in touch.
i'm amused to hear that mac's coming out of the closet - i had to try and explain to his mother that it's nobody's fault, and hopefully she'll understand one day that it's neither here nor there as far as success / failure as a parent / person goes. and i can't help wondering if i've somehow influenced him as far as self-acceptance and confidence is concerned. that would make me proud. but that's probably not the case. him turning out to be gay would explain a lot, though.
i've just finished watching bad boys for the first time in years. i friggin' love that movie, much like the fifth element. speaking of which, i'm about to watch the messenger - the story of joan of arc, and as i said, i've been wanting to do that for years.
leoni does indeed rock :)
