Confessions of A Working Girl

Whenever I read a really good book, or watch a really good movie, when its over, I always have to pause for a minute and just think. It usually makes me think about my own life. What have I been doing with my life? Look at what those characters had done! What could I do?

Last night, these thoughts occured after watching that new movie, Julie and Julia. That movie didn’t give me quite the same quiet reflection as others have–but perhaps it was because I was with friends.

I went with my girlscout troop–though since, at this point, all but one of us have graduated high school, we aren’t really an “official” troop any longer. We don’t care. Girlscouts is only what brought us together–its up to us to remain friends. Five of us went. Me, “Paige”, “Holly”. “Wynter” and “Ann”. “Mandy” didn’t come for some reason…Holly said it was because she was busy blowing up water balloons?!

Anyway, so there we were, at the theater.  Paige said that she wants me to get a boyfriend–primarily because she’s sworn off of boys but wants to keep hearing about that kind of stuff. Which reminds me, I need to find her screenname for skype…

And that’s the other thing that happened recently. I actually bought a webcam! A friend in California, “Riko” said that once school starts again, she can’t use msn messanger like we have been. She suggested skype, so I decided to try it. The verdict? Its neat! It’s like making a phone call with video (which, admittadly, will not always be fun) but for free! Or almost free–just the cost of the regular internet anyway.

And so, I get distracted once again. It’ll keep happening too…so on the subject of the movie, let me just say: it is worth seeing. The stories are interesting, and I thought it was interesting the way that the movie moved back and forth between the stories. At points they almost mingle, but not quite. As far as I can tell, these women never actually met in real life. (or in the movie for that matter)
