JENNIFER ANNISTON'S MOVIES
My back is whacked so rather than driving somewhere far, I thought it would make better sense to stay local. I picked Stephanie up after figuring out what movie we would watch. She loves romance movies and there were really only two available. Since I just watched Along Came Polly, I figured it might be a good idea to see Rumor Has It.
I don't recommend seeing Along Came Polly, but it's kind of interesting to compare it to Rumor Has It. Basically, Anniston's characters are totally different in each of the movies. In Along Came Polly, she plays a free-spirited, non-commital neo-hippie while in Rumor Has It, she is much more analytical, very much like Ben Stiller's character in the former. Both movies essentially ask, what kind of person do you want to be with? Along Came Polly says you should try something different if you feel it. Rumor Has It says you should select the one you can build a life with (when you are ready to marry).
After the movie, we had ice cream at Handel's Homemade. I can't believe there's a great ice cream parlor right in Upland and I never took Vanessa there. Anyway, I ended up telling Stephanie a little about my live-at-home situation and my mom's relation history. I'm not sure why I told her, but it just felt right.
The problem is that I'm beginning to feel that she really, really likes me and I am worried that I might break her heart. It'd odd because even though she has a lot of things going for her (she's pretty, smart, educated, ambitious, spiritual), I still have a thing for Brenda (who's not as smart, not educated, not ambitious and not spiritual at all, yet has the looks that kill me). What is going on with my hardwiring that would make me attracted to such a woman? Is it simply wanting what I can't/don't have? Or is there something about that face of hers that gets me? Or maybe it's my desire to take care of those less fortunate than me? Whatever the case may be, I began to feel guilty.
We hit the jacuzzi after the movie to relax. It was great because my back sure needed it. Afterwards, Stephanie wanted to hang out at her house, but I had to pass. I told her I was tired, but really, I am kind of embarrassed about hanging out at her parents' house. She explained that her parents would likely go upstairs to leave us alone, but I still don't feel comfortable. Now I know what high school girls feel like when their boyfriends ask them to hang out after a date. It wasn't as if I was playing hard to get, I honestly did not feel comfortable chilling at her house when her parents are upstairs. Still, I felt bad because I knew Stephanie really wanted me to stay. Furthermore, I began to realize that this may be how Brenda felt about me - I was there, it was fun, but let's not get that serious.
