I've just finished watching 'Three to Tango' on the telly. I'm a total sucker for these kinds of films. I've seen them all ('all' meaning those shown on channels one through four): I'll always make time for 'The Wedding Singer'; if I'm channel hopping and I happen to find 'Notting Hill' or 'Four Weddings and A Funeral' I probably won't be hopping any longer. I do tend to avoid some as they are absolutely dreadful, but they say remain nameless *cough* 40 Days and 40 Nights *cough*.
It's my observation that all romantic comedies follow the same basic structure with only names, settings and dialogue in flux between them:
Why do people watch these? Because they are utter fantasy, due mainly to point seven.
Can I make this about me now?
Being an introvert I mainly spend my time (free or otherwise) daydreaming about how great a guy I could be under the right circumstances, being more of a sci-fi geek than a fantasy geek only twenty five percent of these delusions feature me with wings. And due to my disposition day dreams mainly nod towards the points mentioned above, I'm like the Hugh Grant of Yetiland (not to be confused with Yetiville). Even though I'm a sci-fi geek, no aliens are present in Yetiland.
However, this being, as you would say, the real world none of this is going to happen. Ignoring points one and two, I think the furthest I've ever got is point five, however, being a rather mediocre person swap 'incredible' for 'maeh'. Oh! how I would like to deliver Han Solo's "I know" in response to Leia's "I love you", if I've spoilt that for anyone where the hell have you been? But the fact is I'll never be in carbonite chamber and surrounded by storm troopers. Also I'm quite terrible at reading people, I could easily give a long and (what I would feel to be) heartfelt speech to a person I thought that loved me and they would turn around and say "Oh, that's sweet. Have you met Paolo?".
Damn film makers messing with impressionable teenage minds.
This is Duke Captain Yeti of the First Fleet Flagship Super Battle Cruiser Indestructible en route to fight an unstoppable alien invasion of my sweetheart's home planet, signing off.
I've been feeling rather socially inept lately which leads to a sense of isolation and the blues. So I programmed it.
It is, regrettably, a very repetitious cycle. But drawing this satisfied the 'do something about it' command beautifully.
| Your Blogging Type Is the Private Performer |
 At least, that's how you write with your witty one liners. And while you like attention, you value your privacy. You're likely to have an anonymous blog - or turn off comments. |
| You are an Atheist |
 When it comes to religion, you're a non-believer (simple as that). You prefer to think about what's known and proven. You don't need religion to solve life's problems. Instead, you tend to work things out with logic and philosophy. |
Your Dominant Thinking Style: |
| Modifying Super logical and rational, you consider every fact available to you. You don't make rash decisions and are rarely moved by emotion. You prefer what's known and proven - to the new and untested. You tend to ground those around you and add stability. |
Your Secondary Thinking Style: |
| Visioning You are very insightful and tend to make decisions based on your insights. You focus on how things should be - even if you haven't worked out the details. An idealist, thinking of the future helps you guide your path. You tend to give others long-term direction and momentum. |
Your Element Is Water |
 A bit of a contradiction, you can seem both lighthearted and serious. That's because you're good at going with the flow - but you also are deep. Highly intuitive, you tune in to people's emotions and moods easily. You are able to tap into deep emotional connections and connect with others. You prefer a smooth, harmonious life - but you can navigate your way around waves. You have a knack for getting people to get along and making life a little more peaceful. |
