I need to stop watching chick flicks. Today was: 13 Going on 30, Romy and Michele's High School Reunion, Pretty Woman, Love Actually (again), and the worst/best P.S. I love you. I'm not even on my period. P.S. I Love you makes me cry like a big baby every damn time hormonal-rampage or not. I'm so jealous of the love in that movie. I wish I had someone to love so much that I'd die inside if I lost them.

If my life was a movie some rich handsome mysterious man would come along & things would be perfect. Maybe there would be some espionage and a car-chase. Why can't life be like the movies? Chick flick movies..with a little action. Happy up-beat music, romance, drama, a few explosions, growth, happily ever after.

I'm gonna go do some peep-jousting and pretend this wine is their blood being shed and that I'm a tyrannical king.

I have to admit, I have only seen Pretty Woman on that list. BUT I think that "How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days" was pretty good. Oh! And "Failure to Launch", cause they're both kind of funny. But there is one great one of all.

The King and Queen of Chick Flicks and Great Movies:

Ready for it?

"Dirty Dancing"! Girl, just the idea you did not include that in your list made me lose a little bit of my adoration of you. Just kidding, but still ... :D

There is no way that Dirty Dancing is the best 'chick flick' of all time, let alone the king or queen of great movies. I wouldn't even have that in my top ten. I mean, you're forgetting some of the best romantically infused films of all time.

Pretty In Pink, Sixteen Candles, The Princess Bride, Say Anything, When Harry Met Sally. All infinitely better than Dirty Dancing. And what about Casablanca and, possibly the greatest romantic film/greatest movie of all time, Gone With The Wind?

Rhett Butler would've put baby in the corner.

	I just have to disagree with ya just based off of how beautiful my man Patrick was! Such a shame it ain't in your top ten. :D I can say, I don't reckon I've seen any of those movies. Didn't get much a chance to with living on a farm growing up. But that's a whole lotta talking. Might be worth checking out, hmm? Oh um ... nobody puts Baby in the corner! ;) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Girl I know right? :D Which movie would you recommend gettin' started with first? Cause I ain't seen 90% of the stuff ya'll talking about. I miss Patrick too. :( (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Love Actually! It's super sweet and sad and cute and happy and sweet and sad and adorable. Love Actually ^^ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wow, you doubled up on saying that!? Eep, Derek done don't know it yet, but Friday night, we're watching "Love Actually" :D Thankya thankya! You totally got all adoration back and so in a position to score bonus points if Love Actually lives up the reputation you are givin'. ;) (Reply to this) (Parent)
