SEX AND THE SINGLE GIRL
First off, thanks to all the dear people who've left me wonderful comments in my previous post. You are all so kind. I really still am speechless with longing for my family and loving friends... but I promise to call them... much more often... Muah!

"...she is at the end of her emotional rope. Her brother’s engaged, her best friend’s pregnant, she hasn’t dated in a year, and she can’t sleep. "
Sounds like pretty much me, only, it's my best friend who's engaged, my sister who's pregnant, and the rest is pretty much right on the mark.. :) This is what lured me to watch this seemingly unknown movie (to me, anyways..).. And what a darling it was! Not so much because of the parallelisms I can draw with my own life, but because the movie is refreshing as it is romantic and funny. And it tackles an unconventional subject - a same-sex relationship. But this is not really a gay movie rather a story about one woman's dating hassles, work challenges, personal realizations, dreams and awakening.. her struggles to conform with society and yet want to break free of it to experience a love she might not find somewhere else... Your everyday single girl's life.
So now my mantra is: Do something out of the norm (yeah, like I haven't been.. :))... Break a few rules (like maybe, be the one to ask a guy out, for crying out loud!)... Who knows, maybe you can find friendship around the corner (or in the next-door cube), or love? :P
KISSING JESSICA STEIN. Oh really, please. Watch this movie. (I have to say - it really got me thinking..)
