Day Three

Paper Towns 

Thursday, March 19th, 2015

Essentially the only media that I have consumed today has been the official trailer for the movie inspired by the John Green novel Paper Towns. This movie, set to release on July 24th of this year, has been in the works for many years. For awhile it appeared that it would not become a reality, but finally my dreams are coming true. Paper Towns is real!

I woke up this morning with the intention of watching the Today show. I had been planning on doing this for a week, because that is how long I had known that John Green was going to be debuting the trailer for Paper Towns on the show. I waited patiently for the trailer to finally come, and I am so glad I did. The trailer provided me with a small glimpse into a movie based on one of my favorite novels, and I felt an immense sense of joy when I realized that a world I care so much about was finally real. So I watched it again. I essentially stalked John Green's twitter page for two hours while waiting for it to become available on YouTube. I shared in on Facebook and commanded my mother and sister to come see it with me this summer. At this point, anyone who cares enough to know knows that I am in love with Paper Towns. 

It excites me that I can help introduce others to the excellent experience that is Paper Towns simply by sharing the trailer on social media. The availability and ease of conversation about the things one cares about can be quite relieving when you have no one to physically speak to. Sharing your excitement with the world is good, because it allows people to see who you really are and imagine you complexly (the goal of Paper Towns). That being said, I LOVE PAPER TOWNS, AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE NOVEL. If anyone is interested in watching the movie with me this summer, let me know. I'll probably be viewing it one thousand times.
