am i ugly?



clementine: joely?
joel: yeah tangerine?
clementine: am i ugly?
joel: uh-uh.
clementine: when i was a kid, i thought i was. i can't believe i'm crying already. sometimes i think people don't understand how lonely it is to be a kid, like you don't matter. so, i'm eight, and i have these toys, these dolls. my favourite is this ugly girl doll who i call clementine, and i keep yelling at her, "you can't be ugly! be pretty!" it's weird, like if i can transform her, i would magically change, too.
joel: [kisses clementine] you're pretty.
clementine: joely, don't ever leave me.
joel: you're pretty... you're pretty... pretty...

i can't explain how much i love this film.
certain scenes seemed as though they were taken from my life.
so strange.
yet, reassuring.
in ways i can't even begin to think about.
even though i'm a bit of a hard arse when it comes to romance this film just makes me ache. more so now i'm single. i love the love joel and clementine have and at times i want somebody to hug, kiss and tell me i'm pretty.

follow if you lead

first off, i'm not a fan of capital letters. i know how to type 'properly' but i prefer to use lower case.

just saying...

so today i dragged my sorry arse to the royal quays outlet to look at pretty things with my fabulous mam. i ended up spending money, which i shouldn't but... i did. i could've spent more so in a way i was good. yes?



i bought some lovely smelling raspberry shower gels and body butter from the body shop outlet. i swear i'm addicted to buying smellies/perfumes/face care stuff. however, these were cheap!



i also discovered a new cd/dvd/game shop where virgin used to be. ahh i could've spent a fortune, as i have a crazy big dvd collection. but i didn't. i bought hellboy directors cut which is ACE because i'm a teenage boy at heart. i also bought some cds - garbage (99p!), jewel, madonna and van morrison (3 for £5).

not a huge haul but i'm quite chuffed. i do love a good bargain.

my mam bought some hiking boots for walking the dogs. considering she hates walking/hiking/exercise i found this to be quite hilarious. bless her.
