happy friday!

i'm so happy. my boyfriend was superlovey today and there was early dismissal and the juniors got a cookout because we had the highest attendance rate over the past two weeks (how that happened, i have no idea, considering the people in my grade. we have a skipping issue. we got senioritis in eighth grade.)

plus i just felt pretty today. you know those days where you could just throw on any outfit and pull your hair back and still feel pretty? i had one of those days. only i didn't just throw an outfit on (i'm working on being able to do that and becoming less obsessive in my omgmustlookperfect way).

oh, and i have all a's this quarter. hopefully it'll stay like that all year :D

without further adieu, here's your weekly fill-in-the-blank friday from lauren at the little things we do.

1. the most selfless thing i've ever done is ummm. um. umm.... i'm not sure i've actually done anything that i myself would qualify as "selfless." unselfish, maybe, but not SELFLESS. wait, no. most selfless thing i've ever done was take care of le ex('s mental health) when he was going through all of his stomach issues earlier this year and was completely emotionally toxic.

2. when it comes to working out.... um, what's this working out that you speak of? i play wii fit at least once a week, if that's what you mean :P

3. a woman should always dress in a way that makes her feel like the best version of herself...even if it's just in jeans and an old t-shirt. Always dress in a way that makes you feel pretty and confident! (i agree with lauren wholly and completely, so i just copied her answer :P )


4. i wish i could gain the skill and willpower to actually finish one of my novels and then i'd work on getting published.


5. a best friend is someone who is still the person closest to you after two years of absolutely no talking, coming after months of fighting. i have one of those :)


6. i can't get enough of honey lemon ginseng green tea.


7. this weekend i am relaxing and writing some chemistry notes and brainstorming for a certain november event (fondly referred to as nano)


happy friday! =)

why i love My Girlfriend's Boyfriend

when people ask me what my favorite movie is, i can reply instantly (and get a few odd looks from eavesdroppers):

My Girlfriend's Boyfriend.

it has alyssa milano and christopher gorham. it has a witty, beautiful, quirky female lead, and a sensitive but strong male lead - WHO IS A WRITER.


i can't say much without spoiling the ending of the movie (uh... yeah. at some point it's confusing and then you're like OH! how did i not catch that?!) but it's a wonderful movie. with an amazing plot. i'm betting many would qualify it as a chick flick (i might have cried my eyes out the first time i watched it. i mean, i downright sobbed) but it really isn't. there's more to it, and actually fairly realistic (to me).


so here's a list for why My Girlfriend's Boyfriend is my favorite movie of all time (and why you should watch it):

1. christopher gorham and michael landes play the male leads, ethan and troy. who are both brilliant, sweet writers (but ethan is a down on his luck novel writer and troy is a very lucky ad writer).
2. jesse (played by alyssa milano) is a totally lovely and so relatable girl who is a tad bit unlucky in love. she's vulnerable and strong.
3. the movie isn't a typical romantic comedy. it's not laced with racy sex (it's actually rated PG) and is simply really sweet. not unbearably so, but heartwarming.

 

 4. the date scene at the baseball field. enough said.

5. downright AMAZING soundtrack. lovelovelove.
6. the twist at the end (which i refuse to give away).

so you should watch it. so amazing.
