In which a movie influences my week
OK. The Adjustment Bureau. My emotions.
That movie spoke to my heart. On one hand, it validated my definition of true love. Now as we all know, the definition of love is different for everyone. Love is multifaceted because people are. For me, true love happens quickly and immediately and passionately and in your face. For others, true love can happen slowly over time, building upon itself, layer after layer, in a very subtle way.
Yeah, that’s not me. (I think we all know that.)
That movie really did speak to me in that way, which makes me happy to know that my soul is not dead yet. However, on the other hand, my beautiful and skeptical miserable side was all like, "Yeah, when are you going to get that again? You barely got it once and it didn’t even work out. Love does not happen for you in that way... yadda yadda yadda... spinsterhood."
So last week, as you can see, I was in my head a lot, and it sucked. However, I was looking forward to the weekend because I got to see Steve - Steve Hofstetter! He is my favoritest (my word!) comedian, and I couldn’t wait to hang out with him and laugh.
Besides the fact that it rained all day Saturday, and all night, the place was packed, and I mean PACKED. At the end of his set, Steve said that they had to turn people away. With the exception of one of the comedians being totally unfunny, and a heckler being there, the night was awesome. My friend Josh, who I haven’t seen in almost a year, was able to come, and it was just so fucking good to see him. We weren’t able to talk much, except for a few minutes after the show, but I am so glad that we reconnected. I even realized how much I missed his laugh. It has been kind of gnawing at my stomach that I haven’t talked to him in so long. (The Adjustment Bureau played a part in that gnawing feeling. The plot is all about fighting for the fate that you want and making sure it happens no matter the obstacles. Just fucking GO FOR IT.) I think because of that, Fate kept slapping me in the face on Friday to just freakin’ call him. He's good people, and I believe that good people is a must in life. Always.
Also, I looked damned good in my new dress that I got last week. Should have taken a picture, but oh well, you'll just have to imagine my lusciousness. :)
Remember to love.
