How I Live Now

I'm 37 and just discovering I'm #neurodivergent, awaiting assessment while working on unmasking

One of things I realised through this process is that I can't do any of the #7movies, #7books and similar trends, because who am I?
What do I really like?

When I think of all the "top X favourites" lists I've compiled throughout my life I realise I actually don't like some of them, and can't for the life of me pick true favourites.

Will I have to rewatch all the films I've ever seen?

I've seen #7books and #7movies. Is there a #7recordstoknowme. Dating myself but here goes
Let it Bleed. Stones
London Calling Clash
Girlfriend Mattthew Sweet
After the Gold Rush Neil Young
New York Dolls. Dolls
Reckoning REM
Slanted and Enchanted Pavement

Kinda weird like me

#GetToKnowMe

ah, #7Movies I guess? sure....

* Dark City
* Gross Pointe Blank
* The Conjuring
* Pan's Labyrinth
* Return to Oz
* Everything Everywhere All At Once
* Mallrats

Mostly a quick summary, hard to list everything but tried to spread it out a little. Of course there's many others that would be instant recommends. This is just the here and now list.

Also throwing together #7Movies to know me. It's hard to decide whether these are just 7 movies that I really like and want to recommend, or if there should be some deeper reason for choosing them. Decided to pick movies from throughout my life and not duplicate years. Heavy weighting to ~2000.

• The Neverending Story (1984)
• The Crow (1994)
• The Big Lebowski (1998)
• Fight Club (1999)
• Memento (2000)

#7Books to know me better may embody the best possible metric for like-mindedness (although #7movies would certainly rival).

I agonised over what to leave out. To wit: Margaret Atwood got bumped. Harsh.
