Movie Dates

why is it that everyone feels the need to mother the people around them. ok, im exaggerating. not everyone does that, some people. not just girls either, guys do it to. there is a difference between motivating and bossing. people have a hard time drawing that line apparently. im not saying im perfect or anything, i have to work on it too. at least twice (both in work situations) people have told me that something i said came out as an order instead of a request. so i know i have tow work on this as well. but why is it that my apartment mates are telling me what to do? if they want tot ell me to wash the dishes, thats one thing, we all live there together so they have a right to ask that. but to tell me that i have to go to class or tell me off because i skipped a class, memorizing me schedule so they know when i have class so they make i go, thats a little excessive. and telling me that me wanting to skip a class is a sign of irresponsibility and it means that im not ready to get married? well hey de do. look who is so knowledgeable. she should become my therapist.

now that i've got that venting out of the way i can tell all about my interesting life experiences, namely how this post got its title.

i have officially been "in the parsha" (i hate that term) since july. i havent pushed anything yet and i have only told me friends or if people ask in passing. im 19, i want to date, i want to get married, but hey i have some time. so there i am never really been offered a shidduch before and then BAM. first o shabbos friends of mien decided to set me up with another mutual friend, someone i have wanted to go out with for a while. then the very next day, someone who i havent talked to in about a year and a half call me out of the blue and tells me she has a shidduch for me. uhhhhh.....cool?

the scary thing is that form what i know about him he seems a lot like me. hes 21, in school, working, and learning, child of baalei tshuva (i love my little cult), has a funny quirky sense of humor like me. sounds cool right? wish he lived closer to Chicago. Now if everything works out i have to go to new york to go out with him. bit of a drag but at least i have other people to see when im there.

oh yeah, the movie part of the title. i got the call about the shidduch right after i finished watching harry potter 4! it was AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its true they changed stuff from the book, and they cut stuff out, but on the whole, it was shortest two and a half hour movie i have ever sat though. i loved loved loved it. it was soo much fun. as a movie it was amazing. i want to see it again. dee, if youre reading this, hermoine is gonna drive you crazy and....well youll probably hate the whole movie since you arent capable of watching it as a movie and not as something that a bunch of bozos got together and ruined someones very good peice of literature. cant help you babe.

and now my dear friends i must return to class. yes im in class now. dont look at me like that!! i was dragged out her e by a stampede or raging monkeys! Now off with you! go on! bye!
