The Way We Were

Today wasn't terrible. I wasn't feeling myself or very sociable, so I guess I've taken a step backwards on my road to self improvement. But then again, I could take my usual optimistic viewpoint and say that it's good to let this stuff out every now and then. Anyways, instead of doing the typical Friday-night-out-partying-thing (typical for whom exactly?) I was at home watching "The Way We Were". It was a pretty good cheesy kind of romance. It didn't make me cry, so that's always a plus. My favorite quote from the movie is below. I guess I can relate to how the character was feeling. And yes, the male lead's name was really Hubbell.

Katie: Anyway the peculiar thing is-- It's really a request... a favor. You see, I can't sleep, Hubbell. And it would help me so much if you could, well, if i had someone to talk to. You, know, if I had a best friend or something to talk about it with. Only, you're my best friend. Isn't that dumb? So dumb.You're the best friend I ever had. And...it would help me so much if you could come over and see me through tonight. Listen...Hubbell, I promise I won't touch you, or...beg you...or embarass you. But I have to talk to my best friend about someone we both know. So, Hubbell, could you please come over right away? Please?

The word for next week is "birthuation" which if you dont' know what it implies, then shame on you! So wish me a happy birthuation. Yeah, I know, nothing will ever beat Christmakuh.

Mem’ries,
Like the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures,
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? could we?
Mem’ries, may be beautiful and yet
What’s too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it’s the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember...
The way we were...
The way we were...
