I Am Woman

I am a Sex and the City fanatic. I have loved watching the four girl friends going through the ups and downs of relationships and no matter what having each other. I have just seen Sex and the City 2 the movie with one of my girlfriends and loved it. The fact that the girls stayed close with each other despite everything and all their differences is amazing. The girls supported each other when one was having trouble and as Samantha says are "each other's soulmates." The idea that guys come and go but friends are forever is true. The guy you are dating today may be gone in a year but your friends will still be there to laugh with you about how you ever dated such a loser. Friends are important thing to have because they get you through the day.

Another thing I particularly enjoyed about this movie besides the strong friendship was the feminism in it. The ladies take a trip to the Middle East and discover how constricting life is for the women there. They learn that they are very lucky to have so many opportunities in the USA (such as not being persecuted for wearing shorts.) The women get together and sing a song "I Am Woman" which all the ladies in the scene begin to sing as well, yes it is a little cheesy, but I really enjoyed it. I Am Woman and I can be independent from men and have great girlfriends that will stick with me through everything. Overall, good movie to see and promote my strong single self with. :)

Date with Dad

I've been dying to see the new Iron Man 2 movie and my dad suggested we should go see it. It was just me and him going to the movies. It was really nice. I don't usually get to spend that much time one on one with my dad and I definitely enjoyed the time I was able to spend with him on this "date." This "date" went perfectly, we had already agreed on the movie and when it came to snacks my Dad knew exactly what I liked. My dad immediately ordered two diet cokes and popcorn with extra butter. I didn't have to explain that, yes I understand that having buttery popcorn and a diet drink is pointless, I just like the taste, my Dad already knew that and likes the same thing. We got into the movie, thankfully in enough time to get to see the previews, which I love to watch. We whispered during the previews which ones we liked and we would have to go see together, without it being awkward wondering if you will still be together when the movie comes out, because well its my dad, he has to stick around. Lol. On the way home I rambled on about my friends and everything else that was going on in my life, probably boring the poor man to tears but at the same time it was nice to get to share my life with my dad and I know he appreciated that I was sharing.

Overall, one of the best dates I went on, just a simple movie with my dad. Spending time with your family is a great way to make better relationships in your family. I usually spend a lot of time with my mom one on one so I am thinking a date with my little sister is next on my list of things to do.
