Easy A

We're watching Easy A. So just prepare yourself for lots of random quotes from the movie and many disjointed thoughts.

The "Pocketful of Sunshine" montage is so good.

"Do you know Glade candles? Those kind, but they were sexy Glade candles...

While I was working today I saw a girl that I went to college with. It was kind of weird, seeing someone from a specific part of my life. Like, what's the protocol? I asked her if she had my number and she did. That's gotta mean something? Probably some purging of her phone happened over the past three years. And I made the cut? Somehow? How? I don't know. But I hope that we can hang out someday. I've really been pushing myself to hang out with people I wouldn't normally. Like, I asked a girl from Bible study if she would want to hang out.

I read this book where the author meets a new friend a week, or at least tries to. It's really interesting! She talks a lot about the value of friendship for people both emotionally, mentally, and physically. You should totally read it. You know, when I know the title of it I'll let you know.

Right now I'm too distracted by, "here's the sitch, Melanie Bostick."

"I always thought that pretending to lose my virginity would be more... I don't know... special? Judy Blume should have prepared me for that."

"I knew he wasn't Latino, but for some reason all these shady backdoor deals had me talking like Carlito. Beat it, esse!"

DIS MOVIE DOE. I can't. Okay, I'm going now.

That Awkward Moment (when you miss the 90's)

I miss romantic comedies! Apparently the decade I most belong in is the 90's? I grew up then, but I wasn't able to appreciate the steady flow of adorable, heartwarming rom-coms before I hit the double digits. And now I'm in my twenties and all I get is too many guy movies filled with vulgar humor with a slight romantic storyline to gain the female audience that's happy to have a movie they and their boyfriends can watch together.

What happened? Why do I have to settle for movies like "No Strings Attatched" that are mainly about a guy and the banter between him and his friends?!

Jami and I saw "That Awkward Moment" tonight. It had the same kind of fake penis humor you'd expect from a movie starring Zac Efron and two of his bros. However, and this is a SPOILER ALERT: at the end Zac Efron cries while making sweeping proclamations of love to the girl he likes. Which got me thinking...

Why did he do it? Is he really that emotional? In one scene of the movie he's staring at her Facebook pictures and starts Facebook stalking some guy in one of them. Do guys really do that? Or does Zac Efron and the studio executives that paid for the movie want to make some money on the girls that came to see Zac Efron shirtless and also see him pining for a girl (who they can pretend is maybe themselves)?

I don't know, but if you're a guy reading this feel free to speak up. I mean, I understand that not every guy goes out, parties and tells everyone with an issue that they "just need to get laid." And that happens in the movie a plenty. I guess I'm just wondering how many guys would tear up when trying to get back together with the girl they like?
