I loved Latter Days. I don't want to ruin it for those who haven't seen it, but there's a point in the movie where I was so startled I jumped in my seat. I suppose it was predictable, but when I watch a movie, I kinda turn my predictions off and enjoy the story.

What's the big "2" all about? Also, your codes at the end of your post disappeared. Is that good or bad?

So, come to San Francisco for Pride where it is cool and you won't be lonely! :)

I loved that movie. Defintely a tear jerker but a happy one. We have it in our ever growing collection.

As for your thoughts on relationships, go read my posts from the past 2 or 3 days...I CAN relate!!!

BTW< I am back!

I didn't expect to like that movie, but I did.

I am beginning to wonder if my singledom is somehow subconsciously self-inflicted.

- a healthy thought, but I'll counter with this: 'tis better to be alone than to have settled for someone you didn't really love

I really liked that movie - very sweet.

Hope you're doing well : )

An update! YAY! *smooch*

I heard on NPR this morning that ancestry.com is allowing free searches of their military records online through D-Day ... here's the link: Ancestry.com (I hope that works)

Oh Latter Days....made me cry when I saw it in the theater, makes me cry even now every time I watch it! :)

Love ya man!

HUGS...

yes it is hard to meet people as one ages. Best to keep busy in hobbies and past times that suit you, so you will not waste time anyway
Invariably you stumble over people when you least expect them.

I ask myself the same thing, sometimes.

Latter Days is an excellent film. I have it at home, and have watched it several times.

excellent film, the ending is filled with so much promise that in life things eventually do work out for the good....

I LOVE that movie!

Re: Latter Days...quite like the movie but really disliked the performance of the guy who played Christian.

Re: the single issue. I do agree that people tend to look for perfection in their mates. But very correctly you point out that no one will ever perfectly fit that mold. So I guess it is about shaking up a lifetime of expectation and storybook promises.

While I do agree that you shouldn't "settle" for anyone just for the sake of someone, I also believe that it's important to see a bigger picture when meeting/dating someone. So they aren't your physical ideal or intellectual equal or what not...look at instead...what do we have in common, is there a base physical attraction, do we share similar goals and ambitions, etc., etc. It's not so much about lowering expectations as it is about allowing a relationship to evolve a little before ruling that it is not going to work.

Probably not making a lot of sense at the moment...very overworked and tired. But I hope it means something :-)

It should have been a tear jerker for me too. Unfortunately I saw it with Kalvin who spent the majority of the time right after telling me what things would or would not really happen as a former Mormon who did his mission.

On the relationship thing. Here is my two cents and they are already published and said and likely cliche, i know... You just gotta find someone who doesn't annoy you and has enough good things to make it worth the work and it is work, lots of constant work.

I thought I wanted a relationship for like a decade and dint. I dismissed some decent guys for tiny unimportant things and then cried I was alone. Like the cliche I gave up and felt OK about being alone and in came Kalvin. He didnt feel like needles and pins on my skin for a few months and that closed the deal. Now he even does feel like needles and pins and regularly, but I like him too much to give up. However to be fair we met at a bar and a sleazy one too and were both intending to be each other's one night stand...
