NANA

I've just watched what I'd like to call one of the best movies I have ever seen! A lot of you may not like it because it is a foreign film but there's something about foreign films I love. NANA is based off of a manga by Ai Yazawa that I read in my subscriptions of Shojo Beat.
Here's a plot summary from Wikipedia since I suck at summaries >x<:

Nana Osaki is a punk singer who wants to debut as soon as possible to leave her ex-boyfriend, Ren Honjo, behind. Nana was the lead vocalist in their old band with Ren, and they lived together as lovers. When Ren was offered a chance to debut in Tokyo as a replacement member of the popular band TRAPNEST (TRANES for short), Nana chooses to cultivate her own band, BLACK STONES (BLAST for short) instead.

Nana Komatsu, the other Nana, is called Hachi as she has strong mental characteristics that resemble a little puppy. ("Hachikō" is the name of a famous dog in Japan, while, appropriately, "hachi" is the word for "eight" in Japanese, while "nana" is the word for "seven".) With a habit of falling in love at first sight, Hachi has always depended on other people to help her. When her friends and then boyfriend leave for Tokyo, she decide to join them a year later after she saved enough money.

Nana and Hachi meet in a train by chance, both on their way to Tokyo, and after a string of coincidences, they come to live together in an apartment numbered 707. Despite having contrasting characters and ideals, the Nanas like and respect each other.

While the BLACK STONES begin to gain popularity at live gigs, other issues need resolving, especially in the areas of romance. The story of Nana revolves heavily on the romance and relationships of the two characters as one seeks fame and recognition while the other seeks love and happiness.

I really love this movie and seriously recommend it to everyone (although its not for every one...) I pulled some clips off of youtube from the movie. The first one is the very beginning of NANA. The second one is Nana O.'s band, the Black Stones performing. The third one is probably my favorite part in the whole movie and I cried during it but I recommend watching the whole movie in order to get the full effect of the clip.
So...I just wanted to share a new obsession of mine :)
Lotsa Love,

And here's my result:
....


Your Existing Situation
Imaginative and sensitive; seeking an outlet for these qualities--especially in the company of someone equally sensitive. Interest and enthusiasm are readily aroused by the unusual or the adventurous.


Your Stress Sources
The tenacity and strength of will necessary to contend with existing difficulties has become weakened. Feels overtaxed, worn out, and getting nowhere, but continues to stand her ground. She feels this adverse situation as an actual tangible pressure which is intolerable to her and from which she wants to escape, but she feels unable to make the necessary decision


Your Restrained Characteristics
Emotionally inhibited. Feels forced to compromise, making it difficult for her to form a stable emotional attachment.
Feels cut off and unhappy because of the difficulty in achieving the essential degree of cooperation and harmony which she desires.


Your Desired Objective
Desires protection against anything which might exhaust or tire her. Seeks a life of security and physical ease, free from any problem or disturbance.
Feels cut off and unhappy because of the difficulty in achieving the essential degree of cooperation and harmony which she desires.


Your Actual Problem
Failure to establish herself in a manner consonant with her own high opinion of her worth, combined with the continued effort to prove herself with inadequate resources, have resulted in considerable stress. Tries to escape from these excessive demands on her meager reserves by adopting a defensive attitude in which she refuses to be committed, or to be involved in further unpleasantness.

That's all...
I dunno if that's really me though....
It might be...i guess...

Tell me if it is please!
