#silverlingings

This past weekend was full of unexpected complications. For a while on Friday night, it was hard to enjoy the coming freedom of the weekend because of it. I was so disappointed that things hadn’t turned out the way I had planned. Disappointment is often the result of the disparity between expectations and the reality of how the situation actually turns out. It is often a bummer that our magnificently orchestrated plans for our relationships, circumstances, and conversations rarely turn out the way we want them to. While we might be tempted to wallow in the defeat and set backs, there comes a time when we have to move on. 

For me, this usually comes after a ridiculous amount of time has passed or a sudden realization of a silver lining hits me. Looking back on previous moments of disillusionment, I can see that part of growing up is letting go of the little details of every plan. In other words, to be able to be flexible enough to plan for little moments of humanity which often include forgetfulness or fear or some other such thing. 

Things come up. That is a reality. It can be a happy one, truly. How strange would it be to have every day play out the way it was supposed to? What would we have to tell our roommate each night? Why would we need to debrief at the end of the night if there had been no deviation from the plan made in the morning?

Uhm yeah so, I should probably get into this blogging thing. It's theraputic right?

Anyway, I was tweeting about the Oscars earlier and I thought "I have so much to say and there just isn't enough room on twitter... I'll write a blog post!". So, here it is...

Firstly, I love Django Unchained. It really is a brilliant movie. Quentin is just a genuis! I am disapointed in myself that I've only seen three of his movies (though that will soon change).  I mean, who ever thought a scene full of kkk members could ever be hillariously funny? And who ever thought that anyone would be brave enough to try something like that? If I was in charge of the Oscars, Best Original Screenplay certainly wouldn't be it's only award! 

Well deserved Best Supporting Actor win for Christopher Waltz as well.  His character is fantastic and he portrays it brilliantly (in my opinion anyway).  I think I might even have a little bit of a strange crush on him too.  He's just so... cute?  Even when I is playing an evil bastard nazi.  I don't even know. 

Which brings me to the "girl crush" part of the post. Jennifer Lawrence. My god, you beautiful woman. Why am I not you? 

She is just amazing. I loved Silver Linings, it was a great look at mental health and the people that have to live with it without being too preachy or stereotypical  like a lot of things portraying mental health are.  To me it was more a look at the person beyond the illness rather than a look at the illness before the person. If that makes sense? Sorry, I'm babbling! Watch it! 

Long story short, I totally fancy Jennifer Lawrence and I'm super happy she won Best Actress at the Oscars. I mean, she's just beautiful right? God what I would do to be her... or Zoe Deschanal... or Emelia Clarke...

I honestly think I'd be more flustered meeting any of these three than I would be meeting any generic, famous, man hunk.

Anyway, I think I'm done babbling for today.  This probably doesn't even make much sense but I had to tell someone.  I think I will spend the rest of my day re-watching 500 days of summer, Silver Linings Playbook and Game of Thrones while drooling over these beautiful ladies and crying because I will never be them. Hahaha.
