of shoes, ships, and sealing wax
i'm still doing pretty well, thanks for asking.
went to see Sherlock Holmes on friday. that was made of win. i really love the portrayal of watson, and the banter between jude law and robert downey jr. could've dealt without whatserface Irene Adler. i don't much care for the actress, and she kept taking me *out* of the movie when she was onscreen. otherwise, A+. i really enjoyed it. more so than Avatar, i think. which was good, in that escapist way.
went to my old friend Monet's wedding today. that was... ok. the place was somewhere i've been toying with for a party and it was very very pretty. the Gillespie, if you were wondering. i'm sure i wouldn't be able to pay for anything to be held there, but it's pretty. at any rate, i met some very nice people from charlotte, nc (where monet and some other folks i know had moved) that i wouldn't mind visiting. and it was kinda fun. i danced. there was a little photo booth set up, so me and my brother did some pics (which i'll put up eventually because they were awesome and my hair was rockin' it for once). i had a really nice time. i'm trying very hard not to sound so surprised in my head, but i'm having an odd time coming to terms with how *happy* and *settled* i am right now. i'm like... actually content. which is a new feeling, for me.
just to put me back on an even keel, though, is bradley. because nothing makes you feel more weird than to get a hug and like... the *look* from a guy you ~kinda~ talk to, but who hasn't given you the time of day. i mean, ok. bradley is *technically* a kid-- if he's 20, i'll be surprised, though i'm no good judge of age. and i've known him for a while. we tend to be the type who smile, shake hands, go about our business. and today he's all... bypass the hand, pull me in for a comfortable hug, then let go with *the look*. and it FREAKS ME THE HECK OUT, OK?!?! i tell my brother that "that was weird..." and he shrugs and says something about bradley being a player and i'm just...
reading too much into a hug from a friend, i'm sure. but this tends to happen when i feel pretty. i liked how i looked today... mostly. my hair took 2 hours to curl, but it was actually behaving (mostly) and i know the combination outfit i had on may not look *gorgeous* but it does work alright together and the color works well (tan-ish sundress with red and blue paisely arty hem, khaki dress trousers, red silky bolero that matches the arty hem). plus, you know, rocking some awesome shoes again (Anne Michelle Survivor-36's in brown). so, take me feeling pretty good, add in me looking pretty, and then mix that with flattery of any sort. that generally equals me being all deer-in-headlights and hoping it means something it doesn't. so. yes.
besides, i'm very ambivalent about bradley. i think he's kinda cute... sometimes. but he likes the rival team!! and he's younger than me. and he was my cousin dave's friend, which is never something to recommend you. so. ugh. i just. yeah. I'M HAPPY BEING SINGLE. i think. mostly.
i did have a good time today, though.
