Text of the page (random words):
robably set by love story 1970 where oliver barrett iv s dedication to working class jennifer cavilleri results in the golden tap flowing from his harvard graduate father s estate being cut off after failing to conceive it becomes apparent that jennifer is terminally ill and after months of financial hardship and multiplying hospital bills oliver is reconciled with his family at jennifer s death bed with the immortal and perhaps misguided line love means never having to say you re sorry do our relationship archetypes have to involve either disney fairy tales bridget style flops or the death of either party why is it that the english patients of film win the oscars actually romantic cinema has been quite good at appealing to the modern zeitgeist and communicating the trials and tribulations of the everyday relationship films like when harry met sally 1989 and sliding doors 1998 offer visions of relationships that any one of us could recognise mirrored in our own experiences but what i find really inspiring in cinema is the recurring theme of second chances when you think about it this is the best message a film can ever convey to us after all life may be amazing for jake and rachel or whoever in the end but i don t live rachel s life and i don t have a jake it s great when a film says to us hey x or y may have happened to you but you know what if you keep going and move on through this there can be something up ahead that will make it all worth it in the notebook 2004 we listen as grey haired narrators yarn the tales of their life s love in a beautiful life affirming story of a couple only temporarily eclipsed by world war ii but second chances aren t always about pulling through hardships with your partner sometimes our partner is the hardship and our second chance is simply someone else one of my favorites in this category has to be lost in translation 2003 a story of an unlikely love blossoming between disillusioned actor bob and frustrated twenty something charlotte in the claustrophobic confines of a tokyo culture shock despite the age gap this is also a story about second chances bob s failing marriage charlotte s dissatisfaction with a partner who has changed too much and the solace that they find within each other s companionship in an alien megacity subtly mirrors the lives of many of us who find themselves surrounded by people but still managing to feel alone my absolute number one second chance story though is wong karwai s pretty neon candy english language debut my blueberry nights 2007 in the aftermath of a painful breakup elizabeth finds sanctuary eating blueberry pie every day in manchester émigré jeremy s café in manhattan the whispers of something between them are cut short by elizabeth s cross country drifting supported by a series of waitressing jobs as she chases a dream to mend a broken heart her intermittent postcards to jeremy however conceal her location and place of work and he tirelessly calls up restaurants in the area in an effort to find her later writing herculean amounts of postcards to any and every restaurant in desperation after working through her own emotional turmoil via encounters with various lost souls elizabeth returns to manhattan to a reserved seat in jeremy s café and the realisation of his reciprocated feelings so what have i learnt well an inspiring love story can definitely be made by overcoming adversity but it can also be made by submitting to it what really inspires me though are the films where love flowers from the mundane transforming all our frustrations and insecurities and assuring us that we are never too old for a second chance or a third what are your experiences of second chances have you and your partner ever faced something which seemed insurmountable only to come out shining the other side or did your experience with a flop somehow flip into the best days of your life what s your favourite movie about love copyright 2012

discovering that my ex was a lying cheating bastard i found an email on his laptop while searching for humane ways to kill a mouse a mouse had taken refuge in the house and had been outsmarting our traps for weeks it turned out that while i was in scotland that year completing an ma my then fiancé of two years we lived together for seven decided to shack up with his colleague in our house i have yet to figure out if she had anything to do with the mouse she d moved out just in time for me to move back in but they managed to keep their affair a secret for another two months while i was home

from off my best friend s kitchen floor eventually she hauled me up then my hopes my dreams my heart through the disbelief the grief and anger all i have wanted for him was sweet sweet revenge i used to day dream all the time that he would come back to me shriveled and soaking wet because he would be caught in a freak thunderstorm obviously cold shivering and miserable on a bitterly cold winter s day it would crush his heart when i opened the door to my apartment looking gorgeous and slim and barely dressed because it would be warm in my apartment with a hunka hunka sweet and topless man doing something very manly in the background and then at some unknown point with me barely even noticing the revenge dreams stopped i started to realise that my pain and grief were my own and that actually while i was grieving for my lost life i was also grieving for my lost self the person i d thought i always wanted to be the person i could have been i began to realise that i had a lot of my own stuff that i needed to deal with how did i make such a bad judgment call with him who was i without him what do i work towards now what did i want for my career did i want a career what was the meaning of life wading through that stuff has been exhausting it still reduces me to a helpless freak ball of tears without fail once a month you will find me lying naked in my bed with crazy hair howling like an orphaned child because seriously discovering the purpose of life is hard and while i haven t figured it out just yet i have made awesome discoveries about me the habits i don t like the aspects i want to keep and the person i want to become i ve learnt that i m ok to be alone as long as i m happy i ve realised that i want to live a full life to be the best person that i can be to travel the world to enjoy exciting new experiences to meet incredible people to cherish every moment and learn what i can from these i want a lot of things for myself and i m finally discovering how to get them all on my own i m starting to see my power my strength my courage my perfect imperfection i can see that the one thing i have absolute control over is me i see that i will be happy because it s my choice i am not a victim to life i am responsible for it and i am responsible for me it s starting to give me great pride to think that i have faced my worst fear and to realise that i came out of it just fine it s not peaches and roses but i ve come a very long way from off that cold cement floor nine months ago from all this i have grown i have changed i have become a wiser smarter stronger more caring and compassionate i have stronger bonds with the people in my life and suddenly the world is a space of infinite possibilities and then last night it hit me the sweetest revenge would be for my ex to never face a life changing experience the sweetest revenge would be for him to never be forced to look at himself to confront his demons and have the opportunity to overcome them the sweetest of sweet revenge would be for him to stay just the same copyright 2012 simply solo blog by catherine gryp all rights reserved 37 comments from uncategorized how to bag the perfect guy for you october 10

with possibilities as you remove layer after layer of shiny paper from the package steady on ladies you get all excited about the glorious future that s about to unfold with this thrilling new something in your life and then oh it s a two year subscription to industrial engineering weekly magazine the point is that meeting someone new is a lucky dip and you can never be sure what you re going to get or can you while we can t claim that clairvoyance falls under the otherwise fulsome list of our skills at twoo com and therefore we can t guarantee that the man you re chatting with is mr marriage and babies we do have access to information about what guys are looking for and what kind of characteristics in a woman attract what kind of guy we ve been doing some research quite a lot really so much so we ve written an entire whitepaper about our findings in this post we are looking specifically at what the data around age showed us which bracket to go for to bag the man of your dreams we looked at data asking guys to list their perfect partner s best body part and guys you did pretty well smile and eyes were top trumps for all age groups which suggests that those guys who appear to be talking to your chest might actually be shy as opposed to pervy but from here on out things vary quite wildly if you re looking for a man who will love you for your fierce intelligence rather than your booty then you should look to the upper end of the age bracket 14 of men aged 20 24 listed ass as their perfect partner s best body part and 8 said brains compared with guys from the 50 59 age bracket 1 of whom wanted you for your behind and 15 for your brains interestingly chest scored quite low consistently apart from the 40 44 year old age bracket where it shot up to 10 which perhaps can be identified as prime mid life crisis territory one thing you ladies might want to consider is that guys couldn t give a monkey s butt about your hair this characteristic never struggled above 2 in any age group so put down that curling iron and do something useful if your focus is marriage then you should be looking for a man around about the age of 30 37 of 20 24 year olds said they were too young to think about it but they change their tune when they hit the 30 34 age bracket with 43 of them saying it s an important commitment if you re dating an older guy then you may find that that ship has sailed 36 of men aged 50 59 don t think marriage is relevant for them any longer you may have thought that younger guys would be less interested in marriage than their more traditional elder counterparts but the opposite is true so you might want to pick a younger model if you re after more than just a quick roll in the hay well girls one thing s good to know at least we can all stop worrying about our hair huh i don t think so perhaps the most important stat was that on marriage if you want him to put a ring on it you better get in there before he hits 50 the good news is
