Ramblings...

Ramblings... Current mood: imaginative Category: Life So, I ended up doing the "one adult for..." thing again. I'm not sure why but sometimes I really like going to the movie alone. Is that weird? Anyway, I went and saw Ironman, been wanting to see it for quite some time. LOVED IT! I was a huge Robert Downey, JR. fan back in the day... before it was common knowledge that he struggled with addictions. He was a great actor... still is for that matter. Oh, and can I just say that he was "yummy" then and is quite "yummy" now. He's just such an attractive man... you know, the whole, "God did an amazing job putting him together," thing. He's just beautiful - for a man. Despite his hard living he has managed to age very well... Today I told Casey Lee that he is George Clooney hot - he's not quite a silver fox, because he's not totally silver, but he is definitely the male version of a cougar - and I don't mean the cat. Hello, and Gwyneth Paltrow? I am a fan of her acting for the most part, but she's sort of fallen off of my radar with the whole naming her baby, "Apple" and everything. Well, she knocked my socks off (not literally) because she was so GORGEOUS in this movie! I mean she's WAY too skinny to be "normal" but she really was quite lovely with her strawberry blond hair and sweet little freckled nose. Beyond that, the movie was GREAT! A few questionable moments - the family with the three little boys probably should have checked into that before showing up - but for an adult it wasn't nearly as bad as some of the shows on television these days. I'd say it's my favorite Comic Book/Superhero/Graphic Novel movie so far. Of course I haven't seen the new Hulk, and I haven't see Hancock... what else have I missed. Oh, I didn't see the last Spiderman, even... hmmm. I'm still thinking it's a good bet that this will remain my favorite. We shall see. On to other news... well, it's not really news... it's more a question/puzzle/wonderment. As it states on my profile, I am a whopping 37 years old. I know, I know, I don't act like it... and that can be considered both a compliment AND a put down. But being 37 from a cultural or societal standpoint really puts me in a bit of a bind for some things. One friend who is my age may say something is okay to do and another friend, also my age, may say it's totally not okay to do. (Why does Myspace underline the word "okay" saying it's not spelled right... for that matter, why does Myspace underline itself saying it's not spelled right?) Now, I'm not talking about committing a sin. I'm talking about things that might be considered taboo by some and fine by others. Let's see, what's an example??? What the heck, I won't be coy - I have some friends who are my age, who are Christian, who think it's okay to ask a man out on a date. I have other friends who are my age and Christian, who think it is HORRIBLE to ask a man out on a date. Here's where it gets really funny. I have older friends who say "Go for it," and I have younger friends who think it's totally brazen. But I think the real issue is beyond the asking out. I think the real issue is, why, after all this time, hasn't he asked ME out? AH HA! Yeah, I think that's it. Sure, there are always issues and things I don't fully grasp, but if he was interested, wouldn't he have at least hinted by now? I think he would have. Then again, what if he has hinted and I'm just CLUELESS? He's not a very OVERT kind of person, even though he is an honest person. Or, what if it's that he's a sloooooooooowwwww mover? (Now that was DEFINITELY underlined for misspelling.) Then again, what if, just like the book says, "He's just not that in to me?" What if it's not God's will? Now why in the world did you have to go and say that? Oi vey! I didn't want to hear that... didn't want to see it on the screen! Sometimes the Holy Spirit really needs to just back off and not take over my fingers like that and type things for me! LOL. Okay, okay... wait... this just came to me... what if he doesn't know I'm interested and THAT'S why nothing has happened? Sigh. But see, then we're right back where we were before... do I say something? Do I ask HIM out? I can take the rejection... been there; done that. I just don't know if I WANT to take it. In other news... camp is next week and I'm stoked but I'm thinking it's gonna be HOT! So I'm planning on bringing every stinkin' baseball cap I own, including the two that my family brought back for me from Alaska, and I'm going to not give a care in the world (okay maybe one or two cares, but no more than that) what I look like next week. I'll smell great (as usual) but look like... well... I guess I'll lool like I'm at CAMP! Yay! Finally, I've signed onto Facebook and found a whole new world with regard to old friends. I am LOVING IT! I found a bunch of friends from high school, my friends from church growing up, I found more friends from college (and some of the same) and I've found random people that I've known over the years. I'm not planning on switching over 100%, though, because Myspace feeds my creative/blogging side while Facebook feeds my truly keeping up with people side. It's like Myspace is for the kid in me and Facebook is for the VERY small part of me that acts like (and admits to being) an adult. I should just start my own website that has all the good from both sites and none of the bad... I could call it "FACESPACE"... Okay, I officially claim that name and no-one else can have it. I'm going to copywright it and patent it... or whatever you have to do so nobody will steal it. YOU READ IT HERE, FOLKS. FACESPACE IS MINE! God is good - whether I get a new favorite superhero movie, the man I want, look decent at camp, or get the website name. HE IS GOOD!
