one pair of candy lips and your bubblegum tongue

"What the fuck is a bubblegum tongue anyways?" Ah, the genius words of my newly found friend. We can call him Dave Matthews. Do you like the song "Your Body is a Wonderland" by John Mayer. I bet you do. Because guess what?! 99% of the population like that song. I mean, it's not like I could listen to it nonstop for the rest of my days but every once and a while when I hear it late at night playing on Delilah's radio station, it puts a smile on my face. I think it's a good song, OKAY DAVE?! Okay. I happen to enjoy Mayer's cheesy lyrics about the girl he was currently lovin' on and I feel like a lot of people would agree with me.

I don't think I have ever watched so many movies in such a small period of time. Two nights ago, my brother and I went to see Inception. Then last night we saw Dinner for Shmucks (very funny). This afternoon, we went with my mother and aunt to see Toy Story 3 during which I almost cried my eyes out. And then we just returned from seeing Despicable Me! So much time spent at Cinemark :/ mildly upsetting. But since all the movies were super good, I don't really mind. Toy Story 3 was so so so so sooooo good. Definitely my favorite out of the four. Watching the end of a series or reading the last book in a collection is always depressing, but since Andy from Toy Story is so close to my own age it was even more depressing seeing him go off to college and leave all of his toys behind! And the part where they're in the garbage and are realizing there is no way out from falling into the flames and all grab onto each other's hands, I had tears in my eyes that were SO threatening to turn me into a bawling mess. It was the singular movie that I can actually say "I laughed, I cried" and mean it. haha I'd say that makes it a definite win.

Currently I'm having a conversation with Dave Matthews about relationships and all that jazz so I figure I might as well put it in my blog because once I get to talking about it, I seem to not be able to stop until I get it all out. Okay. So people. I know everybody says that relationships can be complicated and you just have to work at them and people are always going to fight. I don't think so. Relationships aren't complicated unless one of the people makes them that way. If it's too complicated and it leads to fighting, let it go. It obviously wasn't meant to work out. And as for the "we just have to work on it" thing...gag me. What does that even mean? It's just like being complicated. You shouldn't have to work at it. And no, I'm not naive, living in a dreamland where everything is about unicorns eating rainbows and pooping gum drops but if there's something there, it will work itself out. You shouldn't have to TRY to make it work. That's forcing things. And forcing things is obnoxious. And fighting! That's another thing. Kill me if I ever hear another chump sappily complaining about "this fight my boyfriend/girlfriend and I are having". What are you fighting about? Probably something stupid. One person is too clingy and wants the other to call every five minutes, one person isn't clingy enough and just wants too much space, yada yada yada. Forget it! If there's such a problem, just stop. It's not good for either person or for the friends or coworkers or whomever have to listen to the stories of how it's just so awful. Okay I think I got it all out and I'm done.

This paragraph is actually being written a day later than all the others. I was rudely interrupted last evening in the midst of babbling and was unable to post for the rest of the night! Upsetting, I know. I don't really think I have a lot else to carry on about. I think last night's babble was pretty sufficient enough to cover two days. So I think I'll go eat some Mini Wheats.

Thanks for reading :)
Love,

p.s. if you're looking for some good music, make a mix alternating DMB and Paramore. I know, I know. A bit of a strange mix. And I'll admit, I used to thoroughly despise Paramore but I am now a full time fan. And DMB...well...that speaks for itself.
