I feel a sappy movie night coming on

I'm a girl.

(That really shouldn't surprise you.)

I might like swords and knives (and guns!  practical clothing!  I hate pink!) and can avidly discuss the many different ways of using them on people's bodies but I have my softer sides too.  :)

I sew things.  I like to cook.  When I do decide to clean I do a good job.  In fact, my domestic skills are pretty top for this day and age and I'm really proud of them.  (thank you Mom.  You're wonderful).

And on occasion I not only am a girl--but I allow myself to act girly.

Cue my planned marathon of some of the most girly rom-com movies ever.  Some good.  Some mildly horrifying to the male gender.  Some that even other girls would consider going too far.

Guess what?  I don't care!  It's wonderful being me and I love all the differing facets of my personality.  Sometimes all I want to do is watch things blow up.  Other times I'm in the mood for heart-wrenching drama (although less often, to be honest).  I like fantasy, sci-fi, even a touch of horror, comedies, dramas, rom-coms, westerns--

The list goes and goes.  I was once told by a friend that I have one of the most eclectic movie collections they'd ever seen.  Whee!!  I love it.

Long ago I gave myself the freedom to not be ashamed of what I liked and let me tell you, life's a whole lot more fun when you enjoy doing what you like to do.

Movie list!!

Dear Frankie: this one tops my list of movies that I want to watch on my Sappy Movie Extravaganza.  It's wonderful.  You should see it if you haven't already.  Unlike the rest of the movies on this list it's actually good and members of the male gender might be able to tolerate it.

The Lake House: irredeemable horrible rom-com fun.  Well, sort of fun.  They mess up the time travel logistics!! ARRGHGGGH!!!  But for some reason I still really enjoy it every time.  Not recommended for casual viewers.

Aeon Flux: horrible.  Terrible.  Everyone hates this movie.  Technically it's a sci-fi action-y flick.  But that parts kinda rubbish (pretty though--that set design!  Those production values!  The costuming!).  In point of fact, my favorite part of that movie is the love story which is very well acted out.  Do not see this movie unless you have a very high tolerance for bad.

Perhaps I'll also pull out my Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan collection.  Because you see, I'm in need of some sappy ridiculousness.

:)

I'm going to have so much fun!
