Lots of things have occured of late- elegant 21st ceilidhs, strange film watching, gaining people, ups and downs, ending work. The last one of that list was strange, it was nice to leave but at the same time I feel I'll miss it. I enjoyed working next to Lynne, she was good fun- and having tea breaks and extended webcomic lunches. I was useful for two months, gained experience, did something worthwhile. It's a nice feeling.

For tonight however, my thoughts are firmly with the evening. End of the festival fireworks and films.
500 days of Summer. I'm not sure how to say, or what to say exactly, about this film. I felt affected afterwords, mostly. Unlike a lot of films it didn't feel or look unreal. The story seemed so plausible, easy to relate to and just...real. It left you feeling half and half brokenhearted with happy.
I suppose it was refreshing to finally see a film that didn't just say 'you will meet someone, they will be amazing to you, and you will live happily ever after'. It more said ' you will meet someone, they may or may not be perfect for you, and maybe you will live happily but then again maybe not'. It's not pessimism, it's honesty.
Early on it's mentioned how love is just a feeling, can't be described as anything specific. Thinking about it, it's quite true. Near the end she says ' i felt something with him that i was never quite sure about with you'.
It's a little crushing, but I know exactly what she meant.

I don't know what this has done for me really, other than give me a thinking point. I feel like I have a little more faith in something I was horribly pessimistic about before. I sounded like Summer's character did, but with a little more hope to be like Tom's.
It's safer to be like her, but more fun to be like his.

I don't know what I'm on about.

I just feel totally inspired.
