Clowns and Faces

Tonight Eric and I saw The Dark Knight with some friends. Well, I only saw about 75% of it, the rest of the time my hand was in front of my face. I think that I heard about it being so intense and violent that I was really freaked out going into it. However, I'm clearly desensitized because it wasn't nearly as violent (or as gory) as I expected.

Any slight fear of clowns I had before has been solidified by this film though. I didn't like the idea of someone having a fake smile painted on their face, but it's worse now. Not only do I not know what is going on behind the painted smile I will imagine that the person is demented and evil. I especially hate masks because you really have no clue what is going on behind the mask and that just freaks me out. I have no way to read the person and know how to behave appropriately. I don't know if they're evil and I should run away or if they're a victim in need of help. It's truly a vulnerable situation to be face to face with someone in a mask. Clearly, this movie did nothing to relieve my fears of these things. This movie will be with me forever, just as Little Monsters has made me afraid of getting out of bed.

Last, but not least, is the issue of my last post. Aaron Eckhart is still incredibly attractive, but by the end of this film half his face was missing. (I hope I didn't spoil anything for anyone.) He doesn't look good with only half his real face and half a creepy skeleton like face. That was what kept me from the last 25% of the film. I was trying to avoid his creepy side. It's too bad we had to see such a good looking man like that. On the issue of Christian Bale I still stand by what I said. Sure, he's attractive, but his face is too round. I need more structure and strength in the face. I don't like it when the face narrows at the chin. I need a strong jaw. So, essentially I will choose the man with half a face to the man who has half his face covered. Hmm...

Christian Bale and Square Jaws

So, it has been made clear to me this week that I am horribly abnormal. I discovered this as I realized that I don't find Christian Bale to be ridiculously sexy like every other woman in the world does. Sure, he's attractive, but he doesn't really do much more than that for me.

When it comes to men in the Batman movie, "The Dark Knight" I think that Aaron Eckhart is much sexier. Sure, I have some issues with things in his life, but he is still sexy. I just love his square jaw! It's just so strong and defined.

If we're comparing super heroes in sexiness I think that Robert Downey Jr. in "Iron Man" is way sexier too. He also has a nice jaw, especially with some facial hair. (Maybe I have a jaw thing? Hmm...)

My husband also has somewhat of a square jaw. It only makes sense since he is the sexiest man in my life. So, maybe I'm not horribly abnormal, I just like a different man that doesn't have a round jaw. Oh well, they can have him!

Life is Hard

I'm currently helping (a great deal) to plan a party with Eric that he might not even be able to participate in. The party is actually for the premiere of his and the four other short films that he and his peers have been working on for nearly a year. It's going to be a really cool event... if things work out. We're not quite sure if his film is going to be done. They have found so many problems that other people have left them. It's been really frustrating, but it can be done. I firmly believe that if they work hard enough the film will come out the way they want in time.

I don't really know what else to say, but it's frustrating. Please, if you feel so inclined pray for this to work out. We need miracles right now!

Married Life vs. Singlehood

I've been talking to several of my single friends about the ups and downs of being single. I do miss the excitement of first dates, first kisses, first everything really. There are times being married that you just want to scream because nothing seems to be working quite right between the two of you. Yesterday, my friend was telling me that she had a date that night with a guy she was really into. I could tell she was excited and had that butterfly feeling. I was a little jealous to be honest.

So, in my jealousy I told my husband that we should just go on a nice date like we used to when we were single. It's weird though. We don't really need to plan to date because we're with each other most of the day and we go on "dates" regularly. Anyway, he saw one of the emails between my friend and I and realized that was the reason for me wanting to go on a date. He knew I was just being silly and jealous of that time in my life. He hugged me and said that we're at different places in our lives than they are.

After some events yesterday evening and then a horrible dream last night I knew that I wouldn't want to be single again. There is a comfort and security that you find only in marriage. I have the perfect man for me and I couldn't be happier. If I'm ever unhappy in my marriage it is because of my own selfishness and not because of some flaw in our relationship.

Writer's Blog

I have been having difficulty knowing what new things to write about. I was going to write something last night but it was kind of controversial of a topic and it wasn't going where I thought it would go. I'm just not sure what to do.

I suppose I could write about my life, but right now it's not too interesting or anything. I almost don't want to write about it because then I would have to relive it in all of its frustrations. Maybe soon enough I will have the patience with my life to tell you all the frustrations, difficulties and excitements that are going on. For now, you'll just have to wait and see. Ask if you want to know something specific. That could motivate me to write!

Internet

So, I haven't posted in awhile and that's because we don't have internet at our new residence. However, it should be up and running by the time I get home from work tomorrow. At that time I will update people on what is going on with our lives. Also, I will respond to the many emails I have received lately. Thanks for continuing to read this!
