Today I watched a Movie -a Drama- with Clare Danes (playing Mirabel), Steve Martin (playing Ray Porter) and Jason Schwartzman (playing Jeremy) called ShopGirl. There was just so many parallels between the what the characters were going through, and the things happening in my life. In terms of the pain of letting go that is, as we all know I have no love life to speak of lol, ah yes, the joke is on me folks.

 I found it to be quite a good movie. Ive always liked Clare Danes, ever since Romeo and Juliette and My So Called Life, a series which aired on foxtel for awhile. Shes just so genuine and real in her acting, if not slightly too awkward in this role but I guess that is how they wanted to portray her.

 It may have been on regular tv too I cant remember (My So Called Life, that is). It was really interesting to see Steve Martin do a serious role, but he did it so well, playing the experienced older man who seemed to know what he wanted, then wasnt sure, then made the wrong decision. He decided that she deserved to know that he had slept with someone else even though they werent committed, which basically destroyed their relationship, but then they rekindled it (me thinking, NO DONT TAKE HIM BACK, the other guy likes you!), only for him to tell her he didnt love her later on. Then realised when it was too late that he did infact love Mirabel (Clare Danes).

 Ironically the younger guy Jeremy, did know what he wanted, but didnt have the skills to get it until later in the film, it was like he caught up to Mirabel maturistically-is that a word? I think it might be. In the end poor old Ray was left alone and Mirabel and Jeremy had a really great relationship. It seemed to be a question of timing more than who was right for who. I think it would have been a great twist if the guys had gotten together...jokes. But of course as she is attractive so I think all the viewers, well, the younger viewers anyway, would probably want to see her with the guy her own age. So, not so much a case of figuring out who is the "soul mate", I think realistically we all have many people we are suited to, and particularly in this day and age its really not realistic to think youd be with one person your whole life, but it remains an ideal in our minds somehow. It is who is right at what time, more movies should say that. It is a slightly offbeat movie and a shame it wasnt really famous or infamous, as I think a lot of people would have enjoyed it.

 

So, in summary.

Girl gets guy, girl gets another guy, girl gets rid of the first guy, girl gets rid of the second guy, girl goes back to the second guy, first guy hooks up with her friend thinking it is Ray and Mirabel doesnt find out, then later girl goes back to the first guy. Or something to that effect. 

 

 

Goodbye msnspaces...et al. This is going to be my last blog on here due to fucked up technical problems which I am completely sick of, I am moving to myspace, if you want to continue reading my story, I invite you to check out this link on a regular basis:

If you check out that link you can see the type of superhero I am...but you all know that anyway :P

N also do it yourself.

This morning at about ten am I received a phone call which went something like this...

*mans voice* I dont answer the phone the answering machine gets it, as I am still in bed.

"Hi Elyse, this is Des from the police *my mind blanks out, blue ribbon foundation* and I freak out and answer the phone thinking it is the cops.

 

LOL I then realise who it is almost immediately, and my mistake in answering the call. When I worked in the pharmacy our manager sent us out to volunteer for an hour or two, which was quite a nice gesture and an enjoyable break from work. Anyhow, they record your details, and now a year or so later they have contacted me independently of my old manager, I dont know if this is because I dont work there anymore and he has spoken to her and knows that, its all a bit confusing really. Either way, I said I would do it because I have always wanted to volunteer, its not quite the type of volunteer work I want to do but its good to have some kind of contribution, I would rather contribute my time than my money, its more tangible and I think its more satisfying too.

 

Anyhow in my half asleep haze, I thought for some reason they would be doing it on Main Street, even though he said Kent Avenue a couple of times. I havent been back down to the pharmacy since I left, so I feel a bit wierd because it has been so long now. No doubt, I will run into people I used to work with, some of them would be nice to see...oh who am I kidding...if I had wanted to go down there I would have, even though my life is ridiculously busy. I just feel like its going to cause some kind of bitchy gossip if they ask me what I do these days. Theyre just like that. So yeah I am not too sure if I will end up doing it, Id like to do it at another location.

 

I dont know if it will happen at a different location since Des organises it for there, I have a feeling it travels around. Its actually my mum's birthday the day I have organised it for, but I have soccer on that night so we arent doing dinner that night, we are probably going to do it this saturday. It would just screw the plan over if she decided we had to do it on the day and make it lunch instead but I am pretty sure that wont happen since Jeremy will be at school most likely and Dad will be at work, and she probably thinks I am going to be at uni.

 

So dont answer the phone when you are half asleep, especially if you think it is cops! You may end up in a pickle!

 

Wow it seems I have my life back now that UNI IS OVER, well the classes are, I still have one assignment, two exams and two months of clinical placement to go, but I am sure that will all fly by and sooner than I know it, I'll be really nervous starting my graduate year in some hospital in the outer eastern or northern suburbs of melbourne somewhere. Man that was a long sentence.

 

Its just madness. I have like zero time, then I have a shitload of time, I will try to study this week. Ironically, even though I have a shitload of itme, I am busy every night, just not during the day so much, when everyone else is...so my social life will be much the same, not that I am complaining, I am quite happy with it for the most part, which is coool. Ah I have a good blog topics for today I believe. I hope you all agree.

 

I never meet interesting people out at clubs or pubs. Some people say I am picky but I dont think I am, I think its just random that theyve happened to like some people theyve met, whereas I havent, unfortunately. I think people are far too quick to label, you are either easy or picky it seems, have you ever met someone you thought was easy? or picky? Its just a stereotype that doesnt exist as far as I am concerned. I dont like labels at all. It just shows how much the person doesnt know you if they label you. So if you have labelled anyone, you dont know them. Or if someone you know labels someone and you agree, then you dont know them either, and you are most likely very wrong. Some labels are right though, just not the gossipy ones.

 

That statement couldnt be more accurate. I seriously believe it. Im not even joking. Some person I know blogged recently about chicks using vibrators, and some girl commented and said that her and all her friends have them, but no one admits to it, which got me to thinking, how does she know they all have them...no one I know has ever said they had one, but I never asked...

 

Its a bit ironic that some chicks would have a vibrator, because generally chicks are into like intimacy and that sort of thing, so youd think a chick would be more likely to use a prostitute, but then again, a prostitute would be a bit like, you are conquering territory, spreading the seed type of thing, so perhaps not...which on the flipside would make you think that guys would like a male version of a vibrator (use your imagination), because there is no intimacy. Also, therefore they wouldnt go to prostitutes. On second thoughts, I dont think either is particularly intimate. I dont understand the males that go to prostitutes, I will label them as needy in an effort to understand them.

 

Ah and here I was talking about labels and stereotyping.

 

 

Intellectual or spiritual concepts that you're trying to grasp may seem a little elusive, dear Taurus. Don't try to push yourself too hard to understand them today. You'll only confuse yourself that much more. You're not losing it; your mental biorhythms are simply low. Instead, look at something else for a while, and let the information churn around in your unconscious. It may hit you tomorrow, so you'll want to cry, "Eureka!" Be patient with yourself.

 

Lets go over this. You're not losing it- Ok that sounds good so far. Should probably stop here hey?...

                          Your mental biorhythms are simply low......hummmm okayyy *confused*

                              Let the information churn in your unconcious.......im down with that....

 

                             It may hit you tomorrow so you'll want to cry Eureka......cool.......

                             Be patient with yourself.........mmm I always am Dearest Horo.........til next time...when I write an actual blog hopefully.
