Chick Flicks

Well, it was a relaxing day today.  I got up and lounged around for part of the morning, and did my laundry...since it's laundry day.  While I was waiting for my laundry to finish, I ended up watching Degrassi.  I just wanted to lay in my bed and watch TV last night, so I knew I had to watch today since I told Patty I was going to watch so I could be out with her and some other friends last night.  I sat around and bummed (knitted a little and did some crosswords) to wait for my cousins to visit.  They were in town for a conference, and they wanted to come and see me.  That was cool with me since they're the only extended family I actually consider family.  They're on the wedding list...which only has like 9 family members not including my immediate family.  Anyhoos...we had a good time.  We chilled at my apartment for an hour or so, and then I took them to see my school.  I also took them to the grocery store to see the slots in there.  We headed out to dinner, which was good.  We went to a place right near my place that I had heard about, but had never went into.  It was a really good steak place.  The waitress had to ask me for an ID when I got my drink...she said I looked almost too young to have a drink.  Com'on, I'm not that young looking.  Good lord, I barely get carded in Madison, yet I'm in Vegas and getting carded.  Dinner was fun.  I got to talk to them without mom and dad around, and it was just good to see people from home. 

Ok, so here's where we get into random thoughts:

I decided after my cousins left to watch a movie.  I couldn't decide, so I left Annie on for a bit.  I then realized I was in the mood for a good chick flick (which is pretty much every DVD I own).  I laid down on the floor next to my DVDs to look at what I want.  I decided on Win a Date with Tad Hamilton.  It's a great chick flick.  I also wanted to color some too.  I hadn't done that in awhile, and I wanted to do something semi fun.  I started the movie, and then I started coloring.  A few minutes into the movie, I decided I needed to turn the movie off so I could finish coloring.  I sat and colored while watching Annie.  It was good times.  I finished coloring, lit my candles, and put the movie back down. 

There was something about watching the movie in the candle light.  It was nice, but it would've been nicer if I had someone to watch it with, but I made it all good with some chocolate.  Laying down, curled up on my futon alone watching a chick flick in candle light.  Whatever.  I did have to rewind my favoritest part of the movie.  It's when both Topher Grace and Josh Duhamel were in their apartments, and Barry White's "Can't Get Enough of Your Love Babe" came on.  Topher was dancing and mouthing the words to the song.  It was too adorable.  There's just something about goofy guys with me.  I love the image of them dancing around and stuff.  Whatever, that could just be because I dance around my apartment and such.  I really got into the movie.  I called Erin during it.  We went to the movie together, I think someone else may have been with us, but I'm not sure.  There's another part where Topher yells out to his friend "Guard your carnal treasure".  Erin told me that she's going to be yelling that to me on my wedding day.  Good times.  Near the end I actually said "F--- you Tad!" when he was stealing lines from Topher to get the girl.  Not cool.  I also started blubbering like a baby near the end.  Not cool again.  I totally forgot about some of my favorite quotes from the movie:

• "Is it love love, big love, or great love?"  "What's the difference?" "Love love you get over within 2 weeks.  Big love takes 2 years, and great love you never get over."


• "I very unsubtly implied how I feel about her."


• "Do you think it is possible to love someone your entire life and never realize it?"


• "Sometimes Goliath kicks the shit out of David."


• "Two people set out to be friends, but nature would have none of it. Nature wanted them to be more and nature's going to want that tomorrow."

I'm kinda not wanting my flowers from mom and dad to eventually die.  I love looking over there and seeing the flowers.  That make my living room look girly.  Although, now that I have a vase, I can get the cheap flowers every once in awhile.  I know I used to say that I would get a bunch every week while I was in school, but I really like the flowers in here.  And, I was talking to mom, she was asking if I could get cheap flowers near me.  I told her I could, and she was very relieved.  I think in some way she wanted me to get flowers from them so I could have a vase to put the flowers in.  I had told her how I wanted to get some flowers or something to put in the apartment when I first moved in, but I had left all of my vases at home in storage.  It's a nice purple vase, I can see myself using it. 

Alright, I think this is officially one of the latest nights I've ever been up here in Vegas.  That's kinda sad, but oh well.  I'm thinking that tomorrow I'm going to lounge for a bit, and then I'm going to call my godfather and ask if he's going to be watching the "Puppy Bowl" on Animal Planet.  I need a good laugh, so I think I can get that out of him.  I'm still working on getting my road trip pics uploaded.  I can only do so many at a time since I'm still working with dial-up.  But, I'm hoping to have a bunch uploaded within a few days.  :)
