I finally saw 500 Days of Summer during one of my sick days. I love watching movies without having seen previews or knowing the storyline because I have no expectations. I remember hearing some say, “Don’t watch it. It’s so sad,” and others saying, “It’s refreshing to see a real depiction of relationships and not the romantic stuff that never happens in real life.” The plot is summarized as “an offbeat romantic comedy about a woman who doesn’t believe true love exists, and the young man who falls for her.”

My roommate didn’t think it was realistic, that not many girls would be as disinterested in finding love as Zooey Deschanel’s character. Aside from not believing that anyone would turn down someone who looks like Joseph Gordon-Levitt and dressed in cute vests and ties like his character, Tom Hansen, I thought the movie was a great depiction of love and heartbreak. I loved the scene where Tom was dancing in the streets after having sex with Summer for the first time. Who hasn’t unknowingly smiled the entire day and wished they could high five everyone who passed them after great sex with a crush? And after a bad day where he’s on the streets in his bathrobe after buying whiskey and ding dongs and he yells at the couple holding hands to get a room. Who hasn’t wished happy couples could disappear for your sake and only allowed to return when you’re having a better day?

And I loved the line where Tom’s little sister tells him, “I know you think she was the one but I don’t think she was. I think you’re only remembering the good stuff.” It is much easier to get over someone when you take off the pedestal glasses and admit that it wasn’t perfect. Ok, I won’t spoil any more of the movie for you. I’ll just say that I think it’s a great movie for anyone who has stopped believing in love. Relationships aren’t all kissing in the rain and riding off in the sunset. You’re bound to get your heartbroken at least once and chances are you’re only remembering the good stuff.

I finally went to see Despicable Me on Thursday and it was ADORABLE!

Miss Brit had told me before I saw the movie that one of the characters, Agnes, reminded her of me because she has black hair, is a ballerina, and loves unicorns. I could not stop laughing throughout the entire movie. I loved her so much. “IT’S SO FLUFFY!” Gah! (And now I can’t stop talking like her).

Before the movie, we stopped by Rio Grande for birthday crackaritas. Ah, almost just like old times. We got to the movie early so we stopped by Studio Square nearby for some sangria. I was definitely a bit drunk during the movie.

The birthday celebrations continued on Friday at the Volstead in midtown and then Ajna in Meatpacking.

Miss Brit was looking super hot slinging drinks. I miss the days when we ruined people’s lives nights together behind the bar.

My old roommate came out of nowhere. (Well I called him but then forgot). I got separated from the birthday party that moved on to Greenhouse. This is expected of me.

I was so hungover on Saturday and all I wanted to do was stay in and order sushi and paint my nails. I was finished with my nails and was just settling in to watch Jerry Maguire (I am aware of how lame this sounds) on the couch when I got invited out for drinks only 3 blocks away. Twist my arm!

It was so hot today that I just didn’t have the energy to leave the apartment. I decided to clean the apartment from top to bottom and organize. I was covered in dust by the end of the day but it feels great to see the apartment so clean. Let’s see how long it lasts…
