What I Learned from the Movie "He's Just Not That Into You"

For some reason, I have watched "He's Just Not That Into You" several times. Maybe it's because of the hope that I don't remember the movie correctly. Maybe it's because it gives me fuel to not buy into the title's philosophy. So, here's what I've learned:

Everyone is the exception not the rule...wait, everyone's the rule and not the exception (at least until the last 10 minutes of the film where everyone will get everything they ever wanted).

Yoga teachers like skinny-dipping and are sluts.

Screwing a married man is fine as long as he doesn't also continue to screw his wife.

Gingers are clingers.

A man will marry you if you decide that you no longer want to get married.

Only anal-retentive, OCD crazy bitches have their husbands cheat on them.

Promotional pens are great gifts.

If you're an obsessive potential boyfriend stalker, Prince Charming will save you from yourself and also date you.

A Mac will like you, even if you're a PC.

Husbands are pigs.

Gay BFFs are incredibly unhelpful.

No one genuinely wants to help you with your career. They just want to do you.

Even if the girl doesn't like you, she will still screw you. You just have to wait until she's vulnerable.

Writing copy for nutmeg is the hardest job in the world.

Mary Stuart Masterson movies will teach you how to be the perfect woman.

It's unfortunate that men control most of the Hollywood studios.

La la LA la

So, I'm taking a break from my writing job to, er, write. Anywho...I just started a new gig as an SEO writer for 10 Best Solutions (for those of you not down with the lingo, SEO means "search engine optimized"). Here I was thinking I'd just be given a list of bullet points and asked to write about them. No sir. No ma'am. It's harcore analytics and they don't give you the bullet points, you have to find them. It's a little overwhelming but I think I'll get the hang of it soon. It's a nice job. I get to listen to my ipod and learn a new skill which, I love. I am a collector of obscure skills and certifications. Just one more for the ol' CV.

In other news, there is no other news. My life is pretty boring at the moment. All I do is work and read books. I did, however, finally send of my application to ad school. It's not up to the standard that I wanted it to be but I gave myself a deadline and I only missed it by two days. Haha. I just hope it's enough to get me in so I can finally start on the path to get to where I want to be. I have a feeling this SEO work is going to come in handy.

I forgot what it was like to have a 9-5 desk job. My legs hurt from sitting all day long. I'm going to have to do some sort of exercise from now on to keep myself from what I like to call "high school teacher ass". You know what I'm talking about. Narrow shoulders and then a flat backside. It's okay. We've all seen it and judged accordingly. I just don't want it. Maybe I'll just do squats during my lunch break.

Well, I need to get back to writing about this hotel in Texas. Woohoo.
