Last night, I watched Legally Blonde. I love that movie and I love Elle Woods. I'm sure plenty of people think it's a stupid movie. So what? I have my reasons for loving it. I find myself to be like Elle. Ok, so I'm not as pretty as her. But, I think of myself as a nice and sweet person like Elle. I love it how in the movie she's determined to succeed at Harvard Law, yet she still keeps her personality. In the end, she wins the fight of her life at the moment. She learns to believe in herself and people that honestly care for her and believe in her. She does change, but she stayed true to herself.

Believe it or not, this movie inspired me to go back to school. I don't want to be a lawyer, but it did make an impact on me.

I strive to be a positive person. I try to give people second chances and third and eleventh chances. I guess you can just call it an attempt to be liked. I don't know. I don't like to think of people as liars, dishonest, and snakes. And it hurts when I find out they are, even a perfect stranger. Yeah, I'm naïve. I know it. But really, I don't like hating people, except for a few people that have made my life a living hell. I think there's only 4 people I can say I honestly say I hate because they did nothing but hurt me. But hate? That's mainly a word in my vocabulary that concerns items and ideas, not people.

I'll end this post with a Thursday Threesome and some Amy Grant lyrics.

Onesome: Where's-- the main event for you and yours next Thursday? Are you staying in? ...or are you doing the "Over the river and through the woods" thing? We're staying home this year. My father is flying home for the holiday. With his job and being on the road, coming home is his vacation.

Twosome: the-- main course? If you had your way, what would be on your plate as you sat down for a Thanksgiving meal? I've never thought about it, really.

Threesome: Server?-- Who is the main server at your get together? Does one person run the show? ...or do several people work together? Students: do you even get to go somewhere? It's a family thing. My mother cooks and my father carves the turkey. We pray and then pass the food around the table.

"The Feeling I Had" - Amy Grant

I cannot take the heat
This girl's going home
Standing on my own two feet
Standing alone
I'm just a little weary of
All the talk and all the buzz
And all I ever wanted was
The feeling I had with us

I cannot take the heat
I guess I'm letting go
I'm tired of stitching up my dreams with
This thread of hope
I'm still a believer of
Twin hearts and timeless love
And all I ever wanted was
The feeling I had with us

All I ever wanted was
The feeling I had with us

The road of life is rugged
Any road you choose
And when I find the other side
I'll look for you

I cannot take the heat
And so I'll say goodbye
A million things I never said
Didn't even try
'Cause words are cheap and sometimes cruel
And stuff you hear is seldom true
And all I ever wanted was
The feeling I had with you
Yeah, all I ever wanted was
The feeling I had with you

[♪ Listening to: "Ziggy" - Céline Dion]
