New Freebie 5

For those who aren't familiar with a particular Friends episode or haven't heard the term before- everyone should have a Freebie Five List.

Five Celebrities that you would be allowed to sleep even if you're in a relationship.

My Back in the Day List was:
Brad Pitt
George Clooney
Prince William
John Mayer
Ryan Reynolds

I've gotten older, wiser and a bit more refined in my list. I think it's my best one to date.

My New Better List:
Joseph Gordon-Levitt (I fell IN LOVE after 500 Days of Summer and this story is going to give me fantasies about him and there is something about him that so unconventionally HAWT)
James Franco
(brainy, cute, and smirkalicious. It was after MILK that he scored high up on my list)
Aaron Eckhart
Jeffery Dean Morgan
George Clooney

I use to go for blondies with blue eyes in my life but guys that are a little bit darker are REALLY doing it for me these days.

Best Lines of Lyrics from My June (Birthday Month) Playlist

'I led you on and leading's wrong'
Have I Been a Fool

'What I gave cannot be lended'
Have I Been a Fool

'Have I been too discreet/how long am I supposed to wait/I think about you nightly'
Can You Tell

'My bed is too big just for me'
Can You Tell

'When I look into your eyes/I tend to lose my thoughts'
Can You Tell


'Oh, baby I can't even explain/What I am supposed to do/It's hard to stay cool/Oh, when you smile at me/I get nervous every time you speak'
Can You Tell

June 2009 Playlist

After going to Sasquatch Festival and attending a movie at SIFF, 500 Days of Summer, I found a whole bunch of artists (that are new to me) and I wanted to share. So this is my playlist for June 2009 aka my birthday month.

Oh, La Ra Ra Riot
Have I Been a Fool Jack Penate
(best line: we've made amends but nothing is mended)
There Llama (iPhone SIFF trailer song)
Beautiful is Gone The Ruse
The Infinite Pet Spoon
Run My Mouth Ra Ra Riot
Heartless The Fray
Can You Tell Ra Ra Riot
Use Somebody Kings of Leon


The lyrics to Oh, La:
Say a word that's quiet, not half the way there
Somedays our future...it seems to hang on so tight
"Come quickly now the air hangs heavily today"
"Oh no, but what is that crimson in the shade?"

Oh la we've got a lot to learn from each other,
We've got to stick together.
Oh la we've got a lot to learn from each other,
We've got to stick together.

I wouldn't say the word now but this is not what I meant,
For a woman that's fallen over head and ears
And still so warm, but I'm lonely too,
Suddenly she is still and says, "I hope that things will be better here."

Oh la we've got a lot to learn from each other,
We've got to stick together.
Oh la we've got a lot to learn from each other,
We've got to stick together

The Fissures of Moving On

As I wrote before, the I Wrote This For You is a profound and beautiful blog and this entry reminded me of myself about two years ago.

My ex boyfriend, L, and I had been broken up for a couple of months and I found that although I was working on moving on, I had started a new job, I was dating (all things that are a recipe to heal a broken heart), small thoughts about him would creep into my head randomly all day long.

I would be getting tea for breakfast at work and I would remember that his favorite is chamomile.

I would cleaning out the dirt underneath my nails and remember that he'd comment on them.

It was as if I was rebuilding my foundation, a life without L, and yet these small insignificant thoughts caused fissures in the cracks of cement that was the material of my reconstruction. I realize now that it meant I hadn't fully moved on but it was haunting none the less.

Help Save Castle!

As I wrote before, I'm a huge fan of ABC's (aka the alphabet channel) murder mystery plus crime dramedy show, Castle.

From what I'm reading out there, so are a lot of other people. But will it be enough to save the show?

I really, really hope so. I personally plan on emailing ABC daily and I already pre-ordered the first season on DVD. Because this show has made my Monday nights so much better and even prevented from grabbing a drink with a date- it's THAT good.

There is a bit of a love story, GREAT sexual tension, some good, believable, healthy family dynamics (Castle is close with his daughter and mother which makes him a more dynamic, interesting, and likable character), and every murder mystery unfolds in an entertaining fashion. I already care about these characters. Plus this show has some of the best writing on television.

Which is a hard thing to find these days among the abundance of reality trashastic shows that are out there.

So please call, email, and write ABC to save the show!

Email ABC to request a show renewal

Here are other directions to make sure we keep Castle on the air.

New Favorite Blog: I Wrote This For You

I am one of the many, many people that belong to facebook and one day I was looking at a friend's page and she had a link on her profile page.

I clicked and fell in love with: I Wrote This For You/Please Find This.

It is a heartbreakingly beautiful and profound blog.

Some of my favorite posts that say it better than I wrote for the links:

When you love you care, when you hate you care, indifference means you don't care

When you don't want to move on because it does not seem to be possibility

For when you've broken up with an ex that you still love

What it's like when someone else can find you

If you have forgotten what it's like to feel deeply about someone, go there and you'll remember.

If you don't want to feel alone in your pain, go there.

If you want to be moved, go there.

If you want to remember how someone used to feel strongly about you, go there.

And if you are lucky enough to have someone who loves you and cares for you deeply, go there to live further in the moment.
