christ, I hate this guy James because he's 1) selfish and 2) really obvious when he's jealous. So the other day, a girl he fancies (Claire) said she was going on a date and he was like "I can't BELIEVE you're going out with a bloke you met in a CLUB" and I was all "er, what - everybody does it.

I managed to watch 22 minutes of MONSTER before the DVD packed up. But in that 22 minutes I realised that Christina Ricci is perfect. I love her. I always have, ever since she was ankle-high to a grasshopper. Now that she's knee-high to it, I love her more ( Read more... )
