Okay. Sorry. I promise that I have written at least two full blog entries in my head, but I guess they don't count for anything unless they are published. My turn over time these days is really behind. My motivation is gone. I am hoping to find it again, maybe next week.
So last Saturday, Jenny and I went to see "He's Just Not That Into You". The book of the same name has been a staple of my night table since I purchased it 4+ years ago. Every time a guy forgets to call, disappears or doesn't ever ask me out, despite my constant flirting, I pull out the book and get a healthy dose of reality. This nonfiction work is a brutally honest break down of exactly when a guy is into you, and just not that into you.
The "He's Just Not That Into You" movie poster hung in our local Cineplex 'Coming Soon' section for at least a year. My friends and I curiously speculated about the movie every time we walked by, wondering how a small self help book could be turned into a full length feature film. After finally getting a glimpse at the vague trailer, Jenny and I went into the movie with no real expectations.
What I found the movie to be was a true representation of the book. Examples of times when guys are just not into girls. The movie made me laugh, gasp and even shake my head in sympathy. It seemed as if ever girl in the theatre could recognize their own life in one or more of the stories.
Should you go see this movie? I will give you this tidbit of information,and then you can judge for yourself. The male movie reviewer on CTV gave this movie one star, out of five. The female reviewer on CBC gave this movie four stars, out of five.
Three good things about this movie:
1. I loved the clothes! That sounds lame, but they really were cute!
2. It was good to see that I am not alone in my love problems.
3. The trailer of the new Zac Efron movie. I'll admit that he is my not so secret, secret crush.
Three not so good things about this movie:
1. Scarlet Johansen
2. Scarlet Johansen
3. SCARLET JOHANSEN!Oh boo! I hate her!
Okay, so maybe it wasn't the greatest movie ever made. It wasn't even one of the best 'chic flicks' I have seen, but it seemed to do it's job as a Saturday afternoon, girl's day film.
Let's switch gears just a little bit and talk about real life boy problems for a minute.
Remember the guy way back in September that stood me up because he was reading? If not, check him out here. He disappeared shortly after our literacy conversation, and despite the fact that we run into each other from time to time, we have never tried to rekindle what never really started.
So to my shock and surprise, Mr Literacy sort of asked me to the big 'Sweethearts' Valentines Dance. Well, he said if he wasn't working he would love to take me and if he was working that night, he would love to take me out another night. I flippantly agreed and he said he would let me know what his schedule was like.
That was a week and a half ago and surprise, surprise I haven't heard anything from him. With the dance tomorrow night, I have planned out my outfit, but am not wasting my time waiting by the phone to hear if I am privileged enough to go with him.
Oh well, I figured out a long time ago he's just not that into me.
Don't worry, I'll keep you updated as to what happens, but don't hold your breath for him to call me.
Good luck to all of us.
Keep doing what you're doing.
As Always,
