You know, if a sage old wizard came to me and said I was the chosen one, meant to save their world, I'd be like, "AWESOME!"<br /><br />Kristen-Oh gosh, I hear you on the loser getting the hot chick fantasy. PLEASE. I knew this kid in college just like that. He liked all the prettiest girls in the building, even though none of them liked him. But he wouldn't give my average looks roommate (who secretly pined for him) the time of day. And the worst part is he would always whine about how "Nice guys finish last." UGH.<br /><br />Candice-Your pesky brother story? CRACKED me up. I could picture it so clearly. It makes me laugh because I'm 100% positive that my son will be that for my older daughter.

He just said in a very serious (and annoyed) voice, "Mommy, there is nothing funny on the computer."<br /><br />Ahh, bu there is. You two crack me up. I would just like to say that I had the quintessential pesky younger brother. Picture this: I'm Jr. High Age. We're at church with the whole family. Boys of my dreams walks by my row.

I had the same response to Tony Stark but I totally love Robert Downey Jr -- ever since "Tropic Thunder" he can do no wrong for me. <br /><br />I gotta say, I'm kind of sick of the "schlumpy/loser guy wins heart of super hot girl" thing. Speaking as a super hot girl myself, I can tell you that I would never go for a Seth Rogen or Paul Giamatti or Woody Allen or any of those guys.

You don't feel sorry for them if they have no friends/lose their friends, because honestly, you wouldn't be friends with them either. Plus, nobody's that clever all the time. There has to be some duds among those one-liners if we're in their head 24-7. Realism! It's all I ask! =)<br /><br />And I have to agree with the nothing-special girl with all those perfect men fighting over her.

What was there about Bella that made Edward( and every other guy in Forks) so crazy in love? Was it her charming clumsiness? Or maybe her "adrenaline addiction"? Oh I forgot- it was her lavender scent.<br /><br />Leigh- I do the exact same thing with the show “The Bachelor.” The minute I am done with an episode I complain to my husband for like an hour about how lame and staged it all is, but somehow the next week there I am watching it again! Why????<br /><br />R.S.J- Amen.

I got about half-way through it and put it down, not because I didn't like the story but because the character made me made. <br /><br />Seriously. It was pages and pages of "I hate my job" without her ONCE seriously considering whether or not she should do something else. I was like "Hey, suck it up and make it work, or get out of the situation."<br /><br />And there wasn't a good reason for her to stay either, except that it would get her a leg up in her career. To me, that's not a good enough reason to stay in a job when you hate it so much that you can't STOP WHINGING ABOUT IT. :)Miriam Forsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08773194271144793485noreply@blogger.com
