The Holiday

My holidays officially end on my birthday... which means the holidays end today. Tomorrow marks the start of studying season so I'll be somewhat of a hermit until April 21st.

In order to end the holidays with a bang I appropriately went and saw "The Holiday" today.
The Holiday = best movie ever!!! Love, love, loved it! There were too many parts to decide which part was my favorite but I was amazed with Iris' assessment of heartbreak and Miles' appropriate reaction:



IRIS
Listen, I know it's hard to believe people when they say, "I know how you feel." But, I actually know how you feel.
You see, I was, uhm, seeing someone back in London. We worked for the same newspaper. And then I found out that he was also seeing this other girl, Sarah, from the circulation department on the 19th floor. Turned out that he wasn't in love with me like I thought.
What I'm trying to say is I understand feeling as small and as insignificant as humanly possible. And how it can actually ache in places that you didn't know you had inside you. And it doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you join, or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends. You still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong, or how you could have misunderstood. And how in the hell, for that brief moment, you could think that you were that happy. And sometimes you can even convince yourself that he will see the light and show up at your door.
And after all that, however long all that may be, you'll go somewhere new and you'll meet people who make you feel worthwhile again. And little pieces of your soul will finally come back. And all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life that you wasted, they'll eventually begin to fade.

MILES
Whew. Well f***, you need this more than I do.

Thanks everyone who offered well wishes today. Love to you all! You made it a great day. If any of y'all are in town on saturday we'll be partying it up at Gilley's for my official birthday celebration!!
