Sari Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 I was just discussing with a workmate how when films are on tv the swear words are often cut or changed to something else, my case in point being ‘Carlito’s Way’, where they change the MF word to ‘Moneygrabber’ in one scene. Doesn’t sounds like much but it really made me chuckle. So I thought, I spend so much of my time feeling absolutely wretched at the moment, I’m kind of missing all the times that I do smile or laugh post-break-up completely involuntarily in a fug of despair. So I thought I would try to write them here so I can come back and remember them in my worst moments. They are few and far between but I’m sure they will increase in time! If anyone would like to join me, feel free! So far I have: Where’s my money moneygrabber! As cited above. My friend pretending to be Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs in THAT scene (he had his clothes on though!) Listening to Modest Mouse and laughing at weird non-sensical lyrics in their song ‘Dancehall’ Watching some guy nose-butt a glass door yesterday at work (nothing like a bit of schadenfreude) Finishing a 5K run in the boiling heat for Breast Cancer Buying a couple of albums I've wanted for ages, still love music! As I said, not much for 5 weeks of pretty much non-stop agony but even writing those made me smile!
Author Sari Posted June 16, 2010 Author Posted June 16, 2010 Just though of another one - my friend covering my eyes for me in the horrible gory bits of a film we were watching on Saturday, he's just as squeamish as me so was very sweet!
LoveTruthChaos Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 Spending a whole day with my best friend today - we laughed about stuff that is uniquely funny to us (no sensical to others), stuff we hadn't laughed about in a long time. Not to mention that I just love her to bits. She listened to me trash talk my ex for a while, I listened to her tell me about her similar past, we spent true quality time together that meant the world to me. And when I told her that I love her today, I understood what real love really is
davisc123 Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 Every word of encouragement my friends have given me, put such a smile on my face. Always know what to say to make me laugh even at my lowest moments. It's true what they say, girls come and go but your friends are there forever.
sally4sara Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 It was the night after my ex husband moved out. I was sad thinking about how many years we'd been together and it was all down the tubes as wasted time. I'd brought home the standard ingredients for the break up blues; a pint of B&J's and a heartbreak movie. I'd rented "The Way We Were". Contrived, I know. As the tears started rolling and the chocolate did its work, a thought popped into my head and started me belly laughing. I realized how peaceful the house seemed, that I'd now get to watch what I wanted regardless of what sport happened to be in season, and the awaiting bed would not be filled with beer fueled flatulence and sour sweat while I tried to fall asleep. He was gone and so were all the things that I'd had to deal with even when we were getting along. I knew I'd be just fine; better than fine without him. By the time he tried crawling back, these new perks kept my head clear and prevented me from entering back into the hell that had been my 8 year marriage.
