the jane austen book club
for those of you that don't know...
its a movie.
a kind of, obviously, girly movie. about a jane austen book club.
i know, right?! shocking. who'd have pulled that from the title...
but the thing is...
i kind of liked it.
ughhh.
ok i really liked it.
GAH!!!.
i hate that.
i hate being the kind of girl that likes a movie like that. like this. its all women and relationships and conversation and drama and romance and...
*sigh*
i like to be the - completely cynical-who needs relationships?-i'm totally fine on my own and couldn't be happier-girl.
i LIKE that girl.
er...
at least i try. i try to be that girl. i roll my eyes at friends getting married, i laugh at the stupidity of a hearts and roses holiday and i tell myself.. you know.
i'm busy. i have a lot going on. i'm moving soon. i'm not interested. its messy and i'm ya know...
totally fine on my own.
and then i see this. i see a movie like this and it hits me just the right way and i turn into this totally sappy chick, that does want the man. and the romance. and the drama and the relationship and the life that's a bit messy and not on my own.
and i hate being that girl.
i HATE it, but i am.
i just think sometimes...
i just really am.
#$%@!

right there with ya, chica. the thing is- sometimes you'll be happy by yourself and sometimes you won't...
and once you have the man-- sometimes you'll be happy with him and sometimes you will rather just be by yourself.
so, you know-- if you're never unhappy, then you don't know what happy is... or something like that...

I saw the movie two nights ago, and I had the same reaction.

It's completely ok to want to have someone special in your life. Take it from a guy, we love beautiful, smart, independent women like you, that roll their eyes at their friends getting married etc. But it's no fun if they aren't at least a little soft on the inside. This post further confirms my theory that you are indeed the perfect woman :)

right there with ya. it's the movie "an officer and a gentleman" that gets me every friggin' time. as much as i say i don't have time to be tied down cuz i'm doing this stupid ironman thing, truth is, i know that deep down inside, it's human nature to want and seek companionship. ironman is just my latest excuse..

Totally hear ya, sista! It's a bi-polar relationship we have with ourselves and relationships sometimes. Hang in there and take it day by day :)

It's okay to be that girl. You have to be yourself.
