Victory in Love

I watched Big Fish today. i'm here at home all by my lonesome because Dad had a business trip, Mom went to the Beach House with the kids for the week, and I called out of work. Well, emailed-out, but it's the same idea. Rachel told me that I had to see it, and that I should stick it out to the end, even if I thought it was less-than-likable. Leslie seemed to have an opposed opinion. My verdict...? It was interesting. A bit odd. A bit fantastical. I liked the story about Sandra, and the fight, because I like a good love story. -smiles- Nothing at the end really struck me, though there were some thought-provoking one-liners. i expected that the ending would prove true the way it did; though something in the back of my head says Rachel didn't. She seems that sort, I suppose.

Speaking of Rachel, she had a really great love story for me when she called me back this morning. ( A True Story )

I know, I'm a sap. -shrugs-

I had my own little mini-adventure, myself, this weekend. ( Though no one but me will care much. )

Anyways, as I was leaving she lent me another of her CDs, one with the songs from Contra, all of which necessarily remind me of her. -smiles- I'll have to return that at some point, and we've both agreed that we'd like to talk again, and for longer, at some point.

I don't like being alone.

In my family, it doesn't happen often; there's always someone around, and when there's not it's never for very long. I grew up in a house with a lot of action and people and sounds. Even at College I've always had a room-mate or four, and my stretches of alone-time are a few hours at most.

Sometimes I need a little space, and quiet to get things together. But when I'm alone for long periods of time, I lose my focus. I lose track of time and things just blend one into the next... I don't like it overly much.

One of the reasons I want so bad to get married is so that I don't have to be alone when I move out. I'm not quite foolish enough to rush into anything so important just to keep from being lonely, but it's definitely one of my motivations.

Work tomorrow. Dad gets back on Wednesday, then Mom and Everyone gets back sometime on Thursday...
