Just seen the Simon Baker aftershave ad.

I saw a poster for some aftershave (i can't remember the name of it) about a week ago, and i thought it looked like Simon Baker, but wasn't sure.

I had a look on Google, and found out it was him.

And now i have seen the advert. It features a woman standing in the rain, and Mr. Baker gives her an umberella, and then walks off.

My friend Nicole has a huge crush on him (i can understand why) so i know she will enjoy the advert. I have been a fan of his since 'the guardian' (he was great in that) so i will enjoy the advert too.

Not liking 'the break up'.

My mum is watching this, and i decided to watch it with her, and it's actually one of the worst film's i've ever seen.

The entire story seem's to be Gary (who is an immature, selfish jerk) and his now ex Brooke (who comes across as an uptight bitch) arguing with each other. Nothing seem's to be happening and it's chick-flicks like this i don't like.
  
Maybe it's just me, and i'm sure some people love it, but it's not my thing. I won't be watching this again.

So i've had a bit of a disaster today.

Got a new bookcase today. All good, as i read the instruction's and realized that i could put it together easilly.

Or i thought i could. Turn's out it's not that easy. As i was putting a screw through the side, i forgot to move my hand, and the screw cut my hand. I know i said i liked blood, but not mine.

Maybes i should have bottled some of the blood, as the doctor can never get blood when i need a blood test. They poke and prod for ages, and then just give up. And then i get asked if i wan't to donate blood.

Anyway, i had some chocolate, and watched 'The big bang theory' and feel much better. And i managed to get the bookshelf together (with my mum's help) so it was all good at the end.

I really liked 'the switch'.

'The switch' is a quirky romantic comedy, starring Justin Bateman and Jennifer Aniston, and it's the story of girl tells boy she wants a sperm donor, girl meets sperm donor, boy gets drunk and loses donor's sperm so replaces sperm with his own, and girl get's pregnant.

It may not be the 'typical' rom-com stiry, but i like it because it is different. Another thing i like about it is that Wally (the main guy) isn't the 'typical' rom-com hero. He's uptight and annoying at times and he's just a regular guy (no six pack's involved). And i loved the film for letting is have a 'regular' hero.

Jeff Goldblum is also in this, and i do tend to love anything he does, so that helped too.

My mum loves rom-com's, and i watch them too. There's a few i like and most i hate, and while 'the switch' isn't the best movie in the world, it's not a bad way to spend a couple of hours.

I still love the Backstreet boys.

When i was growing up, BSB were my favourite boy band. Yeah, i liked Take That and Boyzone and Westlife, but i liked BSB's song's more, so they were my favourite.

I love 'As long as you love me' and 'Quit playing games (with my heart)' and i remember singing karoake to 'I want it that way' once.

I may not be 15 anymore, but i still like to listen to BSB once in a while, and i still love all of the songs (with the exception of 'show me the meaning of being lonely'. I dunno why, but i've never especially liked that song.) and know them word for word.

I think the music of the Backstreet boys is always gonna be something i love. It's always gonna be something that reminds me of growing up, and brings back happy memories, and i don't care if it's 'not cool' to listen to their music anymore, i will always find time to listen to some of their music.

What i wanted to be growing up.

I wanted to be a nurse when i was really little. I think everyone in my class at the time wanted to be a nurse, so it was a very popular ambition.

Then i wanted to be a vet. And then after watching one too many episodes of 'animal hospital' i realized that i don't like to see animals in any kind of danger or suffering, so that kinda put an end to that ambition. I couldn't burst into tears everytime i saw a patient.

And then i wanted to be a fashion designer. I don't know if i have grown out of that ambition yet, as i still do drawings and sketches. I think that is always gonna be my dream job, along with being a writer.

Life got in the way of me living out my dreams, but is that an excuse?. I don't think so, and i have idea's and one day i may have my own little boutique somewhere, or a best selling novel. Hey, there's nothing wrong with having a little bit of ambition.

So it turn's out that i love gore and blood.

For ages, i avoided any movies that had gore and excessive blood in them. I thought i'd get a little 'queasy' at the images, but i thought i'd be brave and watch a gory(ish) movie.

And i loved it. I have no idea why i thought i'd be squeamish, but i'm not. I remember when i was a kid, watching 'children's hospital', they'd show some kid having open heart surgery (or some kinda other operation) and i'd be sitting there fascinated by the blood and things.

I was a weird child.

I lost a lot of who i was when i had my anxiety and depression issues, and i kinda had to 're-discover' who i was, so i think me re-discovering that i'm not really squeamish (and whatever i have issue's with, i can get over) is just another sign that i'm getting back to the person that i used to be.
