Fictional Characters I'd Love to Hang Out With

1. Seth Cohen (The OC)
Kind of nerdy and awkward, but oh so funny.

2. Borat.
Also awkward, but can't wait to see what he'd do next.

3. Samantha Jones (Sex and the City)
She's always up for a good time.

4. Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)
Those kids annoyed me too. MUMBLER!

5. Ted (How I Met Your Mother)
Hot and incredibly sweet. Okay, so I'd only be hanging out with him to try to get in his pants.

6. Alan (The Hangover)
Do I even need to explain?

7. Frank Drebin (The Naked Gun)
He's just so much fun

8. Susan (Desperate Housewives)
All the housewives, really. You know I love gossip and drama, as long as the drama isn't about me.

9. House
I could not keep up with his sarcasm, but I would love to listen in.

10. Eric (Boy Meets World)
Probably my favorite character of all time.



Who are some of your favorites?

What I've Been Watching

Just Go With It

I love Jennifer Aniston. I would marry her. Again, predictable movie but still really enjoyable.

When In Rome
Predictable, fun, cute movie. Time flew when I was watching it. Definitely worth the couple of dollars I paid for it. Gotta love movie deals.

Just Friends
Ryan Reynolds is great to look at. This movie isn't terribly exciting, annoyed me at times, but passed the time nicely.

Little Miss Sunshine
Loved this movie the first time I saw it, but it's not as good the rest of the times I've seen it. Still, the ending cracks me up every time. It's a different movie. Some weird humor. Overall, a movie I'd recommend at least trying out. It's not for everyone but there are some really funny parts.

The Proposal
I loved Sandra Bullock in this movie. Her dance in the woods with the grandmother is my favorite part. Funny movie. Cute, predictable, but I love watching it.

Definitely, Maybe
Finally, a romantic movie that ISN'T predictable. It's Ryan Reynolds telling his daughter the story of his relationship with her mother, but not letting her know which girl her mother is in the story. Pretty interesting, and Isla Fisher is probably the most adorable person in the world.

Marley and Me
Seems like a good movie for the younger crowd, but it's really not. More for older children. It's funny, it's sad, it's a good family movie. Like I said, just maybe not for the younger ones.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid
This one is good for the younger ones. I slept through a bit of the middle of the movie, but it's interesting enough for a family-aged movie. What I mean is, it didn't bore me. I'd watch it again to understand the parts I missed.

Monster-in-Law
It's fun to see the torture Jennifer Aniston and her soon to be mother-in-law put each other through in this movie.

Road Trip
Dirty college movie, basically. Pretty funny and entertaining, but some stupid parts as well. I kind of hate Tom Green in this movie. Annoys me a lot.

Raise Your Voice
Hilary Duff was so cute back when this movie was made. This is a good music school movie. Makes me cry everytime. Especially now that I'm preggo.

Friends With Money
Nothing terribly exciting, but good enough to watch while half distracted with scrapbooking.

Sixteen Candles
First time I'd ever seen it. I was curious to see how it ended, but overall I wasn't that excited over it. I guess I expected more since it's one of those movies I've heard mentioned a lot. Seems like a classic but I don't know if I'll watch it again.

Multiplicity
I've liked this movie for as long as I can remember. It's so random and funny. It's a movie about a man who clones himself so he can have more time for his family and job - but then he ends up with more than one clone and the real fun starts.

Shutter
This movie Freaks.Me.Out. Even the second time that I watched it. If you're looking for a creepy movie, this one might do the trick. It's about ghosts showing up in people's pictures, basically.

The Family Man
I love this movie. A movie where a man wakes up one day and sees what his life would be like with his college (?) girlfriend, married with kids. He wants his old life back at first, but by the time he realizes he has to go back to his old life, he doesn't want it back.

All About Steve
Kinda dumb, but good enough to watch while busy with something else at the same time.

Have you seen any of these, and what are your thoughts?

Friday Fragments

A lot of my posts end up coming out on fragments. So since it's Friday and I've heard of something called 'Friday Fragments', I googled it to find the host blog, and I'm taking part.

 - I realized how much time I've wasted this week watching movies. I watched two movies with Abigail Breslin, and three with Ryan Reynolds. (Little Miss Sunshine, Definitely Maybe, The Proposal, and Just Friends). I won't even get started on the other movies I've watched lately. Basically, I'm running out of movies.

 - I also realized how much time I waste in Michael's. Today was the second time that I've gone in there and wandered around for probably about an hour. By the time I come out, the nice weather has changed into a storm. Twice! But I did find so many new things in there today that I'd love to play around with to decorate my baby's room. I like the idea of the baby's name spelled out in white letters. Except I'd probably decorate them with my nursery colors - which are probably going to be lime green and pink for a girl or lime green and blue for a boy. 

[ via ]

 - Lately, my first thought upon waking up in the morning is 'now what?' Usually it takes awhile for the energy to kick in so I don't feel up for much and I am so tired of watching tv and movies (see above). I've run out good things to watch. 

 - I really like this idea for a boy's room. Here's another different one. Stay tuned for more decorating ideas that I found and love. 

That's it for Friday Fragments. I had less to say than I thought. 

Something Borrowed.. as a movie?

I was creeping around IMDb today, starting with Ginnifer Goodwin. Maybe you're like me and had no idea who she was, and well, I still don't. But if you look at her 'Filmography' list, you will see 'Something Borrowed' at the top, set as post-production. I may have just skipped right over that fact, but I saw that name Rachel. And it clicked in my head that one of my favorite books....

...was soon being released as a movie!

I absolutely loved this book, and the one following it, 'Something Blue'. They are about best friends Rachel and Darcy. Long story short, Rachel falls for Darcy's fiance, Dex.

Now, Dex is played by Colin Egglesfield, who I don't know either but look at him...

[ via IMDb ]

I don't think I would mind watching him as the lead male role in the movie.

Some awesome people? John Krasinski (from The Office) plays Ethan (but I don't remember who Ethan was in the book :/ ), and Kate Hudson plays Darcy. 

There's Ashley Williams, who played in my favorite show How I Met Your Mother in 2006. Steve Howey who played in Reba. 

So overall, I am super excited to see one of my favorite books as a movie with a great looking an awesome cast. Have you read it? 

Don't even get me started on 'One for the Money' being released as a movie, too. I was obsessed with that Janet Evanovich series.

Road to El Dorado

One of the worst things a person can do is agree to be the 'call-in' person for work. Like yesterday when the boss asked me if I would come in today if (because of the storm we're supposed to get) I would come in if a co-worker of mine can't. And now it's all I keep thinking about. I do NOT want to go in.

I need the money, but I feel like I need the day off more. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

But while waiting for that dreaded phone call, I'm watching one of my favorite animated movies: The Road to El Dorado.


Miguel: Tulio! Tulio, we've done it!
Tulio: Is that the map?
Miguel: It's all right here!
Tulio: You *still* have the *map*?
Miguel: The whistling rock! The stream!
Tulio: You kept the map but you couldn't manage to grab a little more FOOD?
Miguel: Even those mountains! You said it youself, it could be possible, and it is! It really *is* the map to El Dorado!
[pause]
Tulio: You drank the sea water, didn't you?

Christmas = Happiness

I fail at NaNoWriMo. Under 15,000 words, and I haven't written in over a week. It started to become more of a chore to me anyway. I love writing, but not being forced to. But whatever. This is not the purpose my writing here today.

Christmas.

I splurged on a DVD at Wal-Mart today because for once I don't have the patience to wait for it to go down in price. I also didn't want to wait to shop around for a better price.



I vaguely remember wanting to see it last year. Actually, something I've been wanting to do forever is see a Christmas movie in theatres. But I missed this one, so I bought it. I'm in love with Reese Witherspoon anyway. I'd like to own all her movies.

I've had my tree up for quite some time now. I've had presents wrapped and ready for even longer. I managed to let the boyfriend convince me that each of us could open a present today. I also let my sister convince me to let my nephew open one of the presents I got him. He looked so cute and happy when he was opening it. I can't wait until real Christmas.

I feel that people in general just aren't excited enough for Christmas yet. Our lobby at work is finally decorated and they're playing Christmas music some days at our other job. But there's no snow. Right now, not so much all the time, I just want to surround myself with Christmas music and decorations and presents and baking. Christmas feels like happiness and I want more of it.
