Chillin' with Stickers!

I wrote this on Fri. Jan. 21st, 2011.

That's right, home on a friday night with my cat Stickers watching The Princess Bride. I haven't watched this movie in such a long time. This movie makes me wish for a masked man to sweep me off my feet.
How pathetic.

I still can't stop thinking about the idea of love. I'm obsessing over old fairy tale stories and romantic feel good movies.
I enjoy hearing stories of love.
Just sit me down and pour your guts out to me on how and when you fell in love. I will sit there and listen to every word, soaking up all the feel good vibes and of course, I will envy the love you have or have had. I can't help it, I'm a sucker for romance.

Let's take a look back in time:

1. Romeo and Juliet - Need I say more?

2. Desperately Seeking Susan - A young women succumbs to amnesia and unknowingly steals the identity of another women (Madonna) who lives a completely different lifestyle. She falls for a handsome man who only knows her by the other woman's name. Nearly a secret identity! Scandalous!

3. Dirty Dancing - Patrick Swayze was hot in that movie!

4. Pretty in Pink - Classic tale of geeky girl who hooks up with a rich posh good looking (not so good looking in my books) guy who has jerks for friends.

5. The Wedding Singer - I sorta fell for Adam Sandler in this movie...

6. The Little Mermaid - any guy would fall for a babe wearing seashells on her boobs. And when she loses the fins and chances being human at the risk of losing her voice.... sometimes, to get what you want a compromise is necessary.

7. Beauty and the Beast - We all wish our pots and pans and tea kettles and teacups and dusters and lamps and clocks and dressers and chairs etc. could come to life and take care of the cleaning and cooking. That's love. The Beast is just there for shock factor.

8. The Princess Bride - as you wish.......

9. Twilight series - The new Romeo and Juliet. Please don't hurt me for saying that....but it's true.

10. 500 days of Summer - fantastic movie with a much more realistic perspective on love.

These are just some of my favorites.

Anyway, these movies are what has molded my subconscious, and many others into wanting the perfect fairy tale love story.  Or any love story for that matter...yikes.

At least on my part it's all fairly innocent.
