Again with the movies or music making me think! I was sitting here tonight, feeling all content and shit with my little bachelor lifestyle, right? When in walks this movie. About a Boy with Hugh Grant. Silly little chick flick, right? Yup. But I sat as engrossed, if not more, than when I am idiotically watching The O.C. on Wednesdays. Another pathetic, yet almost unavoidable ritual I have created. But this movie actually had some redeeming parts. Actually, it seemed, a lot. But that is only how I am thinking tonight. I am sitting here letting all these trite little movie-incidents make me think about my own life. And I guess that means they have succeeded with their movie. Will I end up 38 and single and suddenly bump into the realisation that my life has such little importance that I laugh at it? No, I think not. Because I was already there recently.
So on a delightful note, I found out today that someone is paying attention to me. And that is a warm, fuzzy thing. And not "paying attention" as in stalking. Though that would be sure to bring me some twisted joy. But someone kind of on the outskirts of my life. What a sweet and important feeling it is to find that someone is actually listening and not just....oh wait, that's another movie quote....what the hell....waiting for their turn to speak. You know the feeling. Amidst all the clumsy fumblings and awkward first kisses and second dates, there has been someone sitting patiently watching and listening. Nice to find a friend hidden in the underbrush of my social "scene".
You know who you are. Thank you.
So I pick up the ex from the airport tomorrow at 7 something PM. She asked for a ride finally. My life takes a wild detour once again. Should be fodder for this journal, at least. I wonder if I will get Herpes out of this......hmmm.....at least she never fails to be interesting.
I must get some sleep. I like to think of sleep as a "reality fast". I can let all of the above crap go away, and let the sandman plug into my head and take me for a ride. Right on! Night to you all.
