I’d hate to be a sissy and quote a chick flick… but seriously, aren’t some chick flicks poignant in their own special way? Like the above title for example.. interesting humour (My first exposure to sex in the cinema -_-) and interesting characters with an somewhat cliched, predictable plot. Who are you kidding? If you wanted a heart and thought-provoking movie/show you would’ve instead opted for.. say Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind, Six Feet Under (Its Awesome. I Am Going To Rant About This One Day And NoOne Can Stop Me), The Virgin Suicides, American Beauty[zomg], Dead Poet’s Society etc etc you get me.

Chick Flicks are fun shows you watch with female(s). However, dont let that statement discourage you from watching it with your.. guy friends. They won’t make you bat for the other team. I think I can vouch for that. Never tried it though. You’ll never know…

Anyways i found the cd a few days ago and rewatched it. The endish part where she states the ten things she hates about the dude never really clicked with me before.. keep in mind that I watched it when i was young.. before high school. Anyway, having grown up a little. It kinda made sense. Every word seemed critical enough to make a point. Every single thing she said made perfect sense even though it used to sound like crap that rhymed.

I hate the way you talk to me
And the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car.
I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots
And the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick.
It even makes me rhyme.
I hate it...
I hate the way you're always right.
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh;
Even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it when you're not around
And the fact that you didn't call,
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you;
Not even close;
Not even a little bit;
Not even at all.

*tear* ZOMG OPRAH MOMENT!!

Its just that good. Like jigsaw puzzle pieces.. fitting together. Most of those lines minus the combat boots etc feel right at home to me. Feel the same? You must be growing up too. Have A Nice Weekend.
