I'm in Wilmington, not Raleigh. Changed my mind last minute. Though that's not the important part.
The important part is that ever since I could watch movies I have had three films that I know by heart (okay, one of them is from 2003, so it doesn't really count... wait, that's not the point either) and one of them is Empire Records. I love everything about it from Mark/c not knowing how is own name is spelled to A.J. not having to explain his art to Warren. I love that movie with a deep-rooted passion. So today I went on a so-called Hollywood walk and suddenly the guide stops us all in front of a building and he only gets to say that there is only one film made here in Wilmington that took place in (almost) one set. I just blurted out "EMPIRE RECORDS!" and held my hand to my chest. It was a beautiful moment. A true fangirl-moment.
Otherwise I've been taking a lot of pictures of Dawson's Creek locations. Yeah, I used to be really into that show. Don't judge me.
Wilmington is everything I thought North Carolina would be like. It's just like a Whiskeytown-song, a band that I made myself listen to on my bus ride here. Everyone is so nice here and make one feel right at home. And I've noticed that the students of the community college in town all seem to work, but never do. This means that they sit in cafes with papers and computers, etc., in front of them while they talk on their phones or suddenly get into conversations with co-students. I love it.
