Hello there SG
Phew I've missed a few blog homeworks. So I figured I'd get caught up. I am writing this on my phone so I'll apologize now for horrid auto corrects and such heh.
Let's start with "what are your favorite lines from movies?". This is a hard one because there are oh so many....the title of this blog is a quote from Gone with the Wind. It seemed appropriate considering the topics I'm going to discuss haha.
I love the line "Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle." From Alice in Wonderland. I've always struggled with finding my place in the world and actually a lot of quotes from the movie (and book) fit me.
Another line would be one I used all the time growing up. "You half-witted, scruffy looking nerfherder!". Of course it comes from star wars haha.
"Life isn't fair, it's just fairer than death, that's all." Is another wonderful quote from The Princess Bride and it couldn't be more true.
And lastly "You are not special. You're not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We're all part of the same compost heap. We're all singing, all dancing crap of the world." From Fight Club. Actually I quote that movie and book all day long. It's brilliant.
Now let's move on to "Tell us about your first kiss "
Ha! This story is a little silly and pretty simple. I was 15 (yup I know...a little late in life for a simple kiss ) and I got picked up by my friend Seth. Now what you have to understand is that I was secretly in love with this boy. He was popular...I was not. He was a nerd but most people had no idea because he never shared that with anyone but me. He had asked me out before but I always said no out of fear. Our relationship. ... It seriously was straight out of the movies. He had green eyes, dark hair...perfect teeth....he couldn't be more perfect. Anyways...he came and picked me up so we could go browse the book store.
We are walking up and down the aisles...picking out books and guessing which the other would like. Then we get to the Sci Fi section. It's full of Star Wars books. I go crazy. He looks at me and says "Oh wow....you're so cute when you're getting all nerdy". I look up at him and he leans in. I turn bright red as our lips touch. I was blushing so hard. As we pull away he laughs..."wasn't expecting that eh?" And just shook my head no. I still to this day have the book I was holding when that happened.
Now let's move on before I bum you guys out. "What is the most amazing/hilarious/disastrous romantic gesture you have ever pulled off, witnessed, or been the subject of?"
So my dad and are driving...I honestly can't remember where we were going....this was years ago. We were listening to the radio and the Djs were doing this thing where people would call in, remain silent on the other end, while the Djs called the persons significant other offering free flowers to someone and to see who they send them to (significant other or mom etc). Not realizing their significant other is listening in. Basically testing them...if that makes sense.
So anyway...this sweet girl calls up. She explains to the DJS about her boyfriend who she's been dating for about a year. They live in neighboring towns and only see each other every other weekend when he's there for work...but they talk on the phone all the time. After getting the relationship background and his name etc they tell her to be quiet while they call him.
They call him and he answers. They give him the "news" about winning a dozen roses and ask who he would like to send them to. His response is this
"Oh wow...a dozen roses...how awesome! I'd love to send them to my wife Cindy".
There is a long pause..even from the DJs and then the girl listening in breaks the silence.
"Your wife Cindy?"...you can hear her tearing up.
"Donna?!" The guy asks. The DJs are speechless...all you hear from them is Oh man.
"Your wife Cindy ...Rick?" And now she's yelling and crying in the phone.
"I....i...i.." he responds.
"Youre a dick!!!" And then there is a click from her end.
Now we are left with the two DJs and dick rick. The DJs just say....well THAT went horribly wrong and scolded the guy for cheating and he hung up.
They then went to commercial.
Meanwhile me and my dad are laughing hysterically in the car. I felt bad for the girl...but so happy that guy got that karma coming to him .
The end lol
