Looks aren’t everything but I want to wake up everyday and still be attracted to someone. I don’t want to have to drink to be emotional and physical.
I want a man to lead me, not follow me. I want him to live his own life while respecting mine.
I want him to know the right time and place to say and do things socially.
I want to be impressed by who he is, rather than him trying to impress me.
I want him to be strong yet gentile. Caring yet rational.
I want to laugh and to be found funny.
I want to be challanged.

So the movie. Let me start by saying I HIGHLY recommend it! I laughed I cried. I thought it was great. Good story, well developed and portrayed characters, nicely shot.
So back right before my computer went down is when I saw the movie and while I saw some links to the movie and creativity class I didn’t really feel it was blog worthy until a friend of mine posted about it on myspace.
I originally read the post because I was excited someone else had seen the movie and liked it. However after reading her bulletin I think she missed the majority of the movie and was just a poser trying to like the movie because it is artsy and non mainstream. She was going on about how the mother character Deirdre played by Annette Bening is like very artsy and connected and all about releasing her inner artist and untapped subconscious muse.
I about vomited, the character is practical insane and drugged out for the most the movie. While she thinks she has this inner muse that people are miss interpreting she also has alot of mental issues.
This totally got me that this girl who was reviewing the movie was so wrapped up into and totally bought into the myths of creativity. Then I felt bad for judging so harshly and thought about which myths I bought into before taking the class, and while I haven’t really been able to come up with one I am sure they exists. I am also acutely aware that I am very glad to have had my eyes open and gained perspective on the whole issue.
That being said. See the movie.
