"He's Just Not That Into You I liked it at the start. I thought that finally people were being realistic about what dating is actually like and then at the end they completely lost the plot and turned it into some big Hollywood romance. Ugh, when I think about it, it actually makes me mad. At the beginning one of the girls who's finally got the right idea says "All girls think they're the exception but we're not, we're the rule" and it's the truth. Then at the end they turn every single girl in that movie into the exception and it's just stupid. I didn't realise how much I disliked this movie until I wrote this. Beginning: A- End: F" <-- thank you

Ah I know, I feel like they negated the whole point of the movie with the end, grrrr.
You understand! I just have no faith in the male species as a whole. I've just seen my friends burn so many girls and think nothing of it and despite what I want to believe, I truly think that is what most guys a like. So every guy I meet I just have an inherent distrust of. Self-fulfilling prophecy? Maybe. I think I'm just going to try and stay out of my own way with this one. See what happens.
Happy belated birthday by the way. Did you have a good one?
yeah exactly. I really tend to get in my own way with men, too, in that when I start to even think about having a relationship with them I freak myself out and then it ends up not happening because I'm not myself with them. but this guy genuinely seems to like you, from what you've said, so definitely try to give it a chance :) I really distrust men in general too but this one guy I was seeing in B.C. still texts me and stuff and he even offered to come visit... which is a whole new kettle of fish, but you see where I'm going. they aren't all bad, you just need to find the sweet, nerdy ones (though, unfortunately, uni isn't the best place to look for them).
and as for HJNTIY, I understood the whole Justin Long plotline, and I was cheering for that romance, but why couldn't they just have Ben Affleck and Jennifer Aniston living happily unmarried? that whole thing just reinforced the stereotype that co-habitational bliss is impossible, and women HAVE to get married to be happy. the only plot line I even kind of liked was the one with

Aw, he sounds lovely! Are you going to take him up on his offer to visit?
Yeah uni is definitely not the best place to find guys, it's like neverland; I swear all the guys I know have maintained the maturity of their 18 year old selves the whole time we've been here!
Ah, I completely forgot about the Jennifer Conley story line. I agree, way to much bullshit.
I'm glad you had a good birthday. I had multiple birthday dinners, one for my parents and two to accommodate friends in different cities. It worked out well, there are some stories parents should never have to hear.
