somewhere in time

alexa play i know you are but what am i

alec just walked into the bedroom, a plate of cream puffs in one hand and taking a bite of a slice of pizza in the other hand. he's watching an anime called mashile: magic and muscles. it's a parody of harry potter. it's about a guy who attends a hogwarts-like castle with hogwarts-type characters. they even look similar to the harry potter characters. he can't really do magic, instead he just has like a muscle superpower where he's super strong.

a few days ago i watched this cool movie called every day. it's based off a book by david levithan. it's a young adult book and on goodreads, some people liked it and some people didn't.

"every day a different body. every day a different life. every day in love with the same girl. there’s never any warning about where it will be or who it will be. A has made peace with that, even established guidelines by which to live: never get too attached. avoid being noticed. do not interfere."

the story is is that there is one human being in the whole world with this ability, since the day they were born. they never met their parents because the next day the baby was transported to a different place, a different family, a different body (but they're always the same age.) every day at 11:59 this happens to them. i can't say he or she because they don't have a true body. like, i guess they were born into a body (it's just a story don't think about it too hard), but A will never know what that body looked like. it reminds me a lot of the time traveller's wife, a book i've been reading, because the guy in that book had no control over his life either, similarly to the person in every day. A (they named themself A because they wanted a name no one else has), wakes up one day in a boy named justin's body, who has a girlfriend named rhiannon. A quickly becomes drawn to rhiannon while they're justin, and tries to speak to her again as a different person. eventually A tells her what they're going through and at first she can't believe it, but she falls for A's personality and tries to make it work with them. they try to find ways to spend time together and rhiannon tries to find A no matter what body they're in. in the end of the movie A is in the body of a guy who is creative, kind, handsome, intelligent... and rhiannon's classmate at school. his name is xavier.

rhiannon and A convince themselves that A should stay in xavier's body for a couple of days because it's easier for them. they can hang out in school together and don't have to worry about the logistics of being together for a moment. but A realizes that they're messing up the kid's life, so A tells rhiannon that it is time to leave her life because there is no happy ending for them. like, what if when they're older, A is in the body of someone that is married, or has children, or is dying...? A tells her that she should be with xavier because he is her type, and he is a great guy. it's pretty sad. A will never be able to be permanently in someone's life, only passing through and they will never be able to say "see you tomorrow."

A said that the first time they realized they were different was when people would talk about tomorrow, like it was something they would do together.
