Playing by Heart



I saw the movie Playing by Heart tonight. I had pretty much hyped it out of this world in my mind, but i tried my best to walk into the theater without too high of expectations, although i had heard good things about it. I was afraid my date was getting bored, but I liked the movie. Admittedly I was hoping for "oh my god! I just saw the best movie...."

..and it wasn't exactly that.

But it was pretty good overall. It's fun how everything gets wrapped up at the end. I like when twists and turns finally straighten out. And Ryan Phillipe is just about darling, and goodlooking, so the boy factor can always boost a movie. ;) Sean Connery's character was so mean though! But it worked. I love how everyone has story. Because in reality we all have stories too. And it's so easy to forget that.



There are so many "extras" in the world. Just people out there, that you probably see everyday, or you see them a lot, but you don't talk to them. Maybe you've never said a word to them in your life. They have a story. You just don't care, or never listened or never tried. I love looking back at my life, at past relationships (not necessarily romantic, actually more in friends in general) and just think about your friends...before you were really friends. Just extras out there and we don't even know them. Your best friend, your soulmate, all could be extras in your theatre of life, and you just never looked. Unlikly candidates, or perhaps very likely, and they somehow keep slipping pass your view. It's so nice to talk to someone. To really talk with someone you never have before, because you walk away --hopefully thinking "that was so nice!"--and not "Oh my, i didn't need to know that." To acquire a new friend. Ahh, it is so nice!



Uh oh. Looks like i hit a ramble. My entry is wandering off so far from where i wanted it to go. I don't even know why i was talking about extras. But I'm sure there was a point in there somewhere! ;)

Tim and I have been kissing a lot.

But i suppose the real test will be the PDA. And while any PDA would be a good thing, most importantly in front of the youth group. Oh the gossip they love. They would eat that right up. But it would be an interesting rumble through everyone, and i wonder how they would react. But I've yet to have a "hello/goodbye" casual kiss relationship. ha ha ha, perhaps that's all the fun i've missed by having all these short term things. Could it be...that Tim may have the potential for Aglaia's first real long term relationship? Perhaps even..love?

Well i don't know about love. It's a crazy thing, and even i have wondered if i can love. But if love is truly a commitment and not a feeling, i've yet to seriously commit myself. I guess when that comes into play, i'll know.
