I'm pathetic.

[Sugar Smack]

This weekend, I'm devoting myself to watching sappy movies. I've been involved with civics, family, friends and work for the past 3 months, so now, I have the unique chance to be lazy.

I just saw "Here on Earth". I cried my silly eyes out. Who's the girl in that movie? My God, I think I'm gay for her. I have a boyfriend I'm serious about, but if she ever crossed paths with me, I'd give her a kiss she'd never forget.

Now I'm watching "Waiting to Exhale".

How are you, my lovely Loungers? Say "hello" if you want!

:hi: :loveya: :popcorn: :hug:

[GOPisEvil]

1. I just finished having lunch.

I'm being lazy too.

Well, I did go to the gym this morning, but now, LAZY TIME!

[Sugar Smack]

4. YEA!

:D

I think once in a while we really NEED to be lazy. Hey, guy. How are you doing?

[GOPisEvil]

6. I'm really good.

School starts tomorrow, so I'll start the reading tonight.

Today - football, food and the couch. :bounce:

[Sugar Smack]

10. Good for you, baby!

Hey...tell me something....

Has a movie ever made you cry?

You don't have to answer...

[GOPisEvil]

39. Yes.

Schindler's List. :cry:

[Lavender Brown]

2. Hi, Sugar

I'm being greedy. I'm browsing Amazon and updating my wish list for Christmas. :7

:hi:

[Sugar Smack]

5. Lavender Brown, favorite poster!

Where've you been, darling? You have the greatest sense of humor! Be greedy & lazy if it makes you happy today! What do you want for Xmas?

:bounce:

[Lavender Brown]

21. I've been pretty busy

I moved and am looking for a new job.

I put mostly books and movies on my Amazon list, but knowing my family, I'll get sweaters. :P

[Sugar Smack]

23. What, a new job where you're not going to tell

complete strangers, "I love you"?
Heh heh heh!!;-)

[Lavender Brown]

25. omg...

:blush: :rofl:

[DanCa]

3. I am having lean cuisine and diet coke and pretending Lita Ford is my GF

See theres always someone more pathetic (nt)

[Sugar Smack]

8. AW! LOL!!!

Nope, at this point I'm the patheticest! Not to pound my chest about it, but I believe I'm a sadder sack than you. I've decided that just for today, I'll believe all the sad movies I've seen "really happened". :hug:

[hippywife]

7. Leelee Sobieski?

http://imdb.com/name/nm0005447/

[Sugar Smack]

9. YES! Thank you!

She is wonderful! I love her, God, I love her! She has such a good range of emotions, such a great variety of expression. I first saw her in "Ya Ya Sisterhood", then again in "Eyes Wide Shut", which I thought sucked, but was made better by her appearance. This last movie, "Here on Earth"? She made me cry.

[LynneSin]

53. Leelee Sobieski's star has kinda fizzled

I think she had a run there because of how much she looks like Helen Hunt


Actually, I think both of them have pretty much dropped out of the top tier movies and are mostly regulated to crappy low-budget tear-jerkers

[southlandshari]

11. No you are NOT!

Or if you are, you are in good company. If you think I'm good company. Because I just folded a mountain of laundry and watched both of the movies you watched!

Why don't you come on over and we can be sappy together?

:loveya:

On edit:
What you said about LeeLee Sobeleski? I feel the same way. Um. If you do come over, I'm afraid you are going to have to sign a confidentialty agreement. I mean, all we'll do is watch goofy movies and eat popcorn. Still...

:P

[Sugar Smack]

13. Moonpie!

Thank you for being sweet, and chewy! :loveya:

Being pathetic together is so much fun...I can't believe we saw the same exact movies! I can pull out the extra comforter, we can have deviled eggs & red wine, and I have a peronal assistant who will be glad to do our nails FREE in glitter blue!

[southlandshari]

16. Ok - I am officially in love!

The comforter, the deviled eggs (OMG - you have NO idea how much I love those silly things!), the wine (red gives me a headache, but for you...), AND someone who will paint our toenails glitter blue?

That sounds like a perfect afternoon. Especially for two people who have worked their proverbial asses off to fight the good fight for their communities. I need a little silly girl time to recharge the batteries, you know?

:hug:

[Sugar Smack]

24. Let ME do your toes!

I'm really good with blue glitter, and our boyfriends won't mind at all! :D

[jus_the_facts]

12. Hey.....hope you enjoy the rest o'your day.....

[Sugar Smack]

14. Thank you- I'm having an Olympic cry-

one of those "fling yourself around the room" cries. It's ok, because it happens thrice a year.

[jus_the_facts]

18. You're welcome.....

....I can totally relate!

[cwydro]

15. being lazy

is good...I've spent most of MY day in bed...and I AM gay....I'll just leave it at that....we did have lunch in bed, which was nice...and not the way you might be thinking:P . Anyway, now she's on her way back home to her husband....so I need to find something else to do...

[Sugar Smack]

19. mmmmmmmmmmmm.....

:D

yummy! roll around in bed and SAVOR your satisfaction! (does her husband know about you??)

[cwydro]

20. well, he did once

but he thinks it ended. Which it did. Several times. But we can't atay away from each other...

[MissMillie]

17. I happen to think "sappy" has it's place in this world.

And a good cry has a way of clearing your sinuses. :shrug:

[Sugar Smack]

26. Yes it DOES, Miss Millie.

How're you, dear, and what did we have for lunch? :hi: :hug:

I had leftover pasta with fresh cheddar sprinkled over it.

[MissMillie]

51. I had canadian soup

I'm sure that's not what it's called, but it's the soup my canadian relatives make when we go for a visit. It's really chicken broth with diced tomatoes, onions and rice.

It's good for what ails ya, especially when what ails ya is a head cold.

[ScreamingMeemie]

22. I am soooo lazy, it has taken me 6 hours to finish a report that should

have taken 20 minutes max. Super bounce out is just too much fun. :hi:

[Sugar Smack]

62. It's really not fair that we have to work, sometimes.

Have you seen that link where you take a limp-puppet George Bush and fling him around with your mouse? That's too much fun. I did that at work today and time escaped me.

:hi:

[no name no slogan]

27. Hey Sug...

you still out there watching movies? :*

And BTW you're NOT pathetic.

[Sugar Smack]

31. hey bug...

yes I am! BOTH! :*

[no name no slogan]

35. Sorry to be disagreeable, BUT

you are NOT pathetic! You are WONDERFUL!!! :* :loveya: :*

[Rising Phoenix]

28. hello sugar

enjoy your well deserved laziness...mwah

[Sugar Smack]

29. MWAH to you too, darling!

:*

[JimmyJazz]

30. Hello, darling!

How are you? :hi:

How was "Waiting to Exhale?" It's been forever since I've seen a grown-up movie :( The last movie I saw was "Freaky Friday." Now THAT'S pathetic.

:loveya:

[Sugar Smack]

32. Well, I got up & danced.

It was Cleo's b-day, or some such. All the gals were crying into their wine one second, the next, you know, they're up & dancing, my fast friends! Geeze, I miss you!

:hug: I miss you so much!

[JimmyJazz]

33. I know, but you've been busy with the new man!

That's okay. I'll still be here. We do need to chat, though. It's been AGES :loveya:

[Sugar Smack]

36. We do! *MWAH!*

It has been ages!

[Sugar Smack]

34. How are your babies, pretty girl?

:hug:

[JimmyJazz]

37. Mine? They are marvelous. Of course, my 4 year old - as you

may have read, was in the ER on Friday because she shoved a bead up her nose. Yes - it's true. Then, she was there again yesterday because her sister shut her thumb in the door and I was convinced it was broken!

But otherwise, they are doing just fine. :hi:

[bridgit]

38. woohoo, sappy movies...

:popcorn: we actually just watched this one: http://www.elvira.com/ehh they almost don't get any sappy'r

[Sugar Smack]

40. OMG! Guess what? My brother KNOWS Elvira, mistress

of the dark! I'm going to scan in a picture of them tomorrow! He says she's "really sweet".

Woo-hoo!:hi: :loveya:

[Redstone]

41. You're not pathetic.

Come up and see us some time. You'll get all the validation you need from me and Mrs R.

And hey, there's no shame in taking a lazy weekend when you get the chance. You deserve it.

Redstone

[Sugar Smack]

42. Guess what? I may be moving to MN

and be full-time with my guy! It'll be a mere skip to your house from there. How cool is that?

:woohoo:

[Redstone]

43. Uh, look at a map, cuz. It's a hell of a lot longer skip to here

from Minnesota than from where you are now.

But that's durn good news anyway. I sure hope it works out for you two, and that you'll keep me up to date with any news.

You have the phone number.

Redstone

[Sugar Smack]

45. DAMN.

My mind is a fossil. Thanks for clearing that up, Cuz. I thought that things "took" faster up north! :cry:

[Redstone]

46. Ah, your mind is just clouded by the sweet fog of romance.

Which is OK. Enjoy it.

Redstone

[Sugar Smack]

48. It IS!

no name no slogan loves the hell outta you. He thinks you're the greatest, BTW. He thinks you're the cat's Pajamas, and that you're one of the wisest voices on the whole DU board.

[Redstone]

50. Aw, shucks. But he might want to reconsider the "wise" part

of his opinion after reading about yesterday's hijinks: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x4162462

Redstone

[no name no slogan]

57. heh heh heh! Wise is knowing when to break the rules

And I can sympathize completely, my friend. Lead-footedness runs deep in my family! I have a dozen speeding tickets to my name, and I'm not yet 40. In fact, I lost my license for a month last year because I got too many tickets in a 12-month period.

Worse yet, my very own mother got a speeding ticket this past weekend-- 68 in a 55 on a two-lane blacktop country road. I guess I learned from the best?

[fudge stripe cookays]

44. Color me jealous!

Lucky you! That's pretty cool!

I loved it when I was up there. They actually have ARCHITECTURE there. Not the ugly pre-fab crap we have down here.

Make sure to buy lots of wool socks! You'll need them!

FSC

[Sugar Smack]

47. I LOVE IT!

I've never been there, but I'll be visiting on my birthday-Nov. 25th. Dan promises to show me a good time, heh heh!

:hug: He thinks you're the greatest, BTW!

[fudge stripe cookays]

49. Naw!

Not anymore! ;-)

I'm sure you'll have a blast! Happy early birthday in case I forget! I'll be busy job hunting about then!

FSC

[no name no slogan]

58. Will you settle for second greatest?

:evilgrin:

[fudge stripe cookays]

59. Yep!

I'm a diva with a heart of gold, after all.

:D

[no name no slogan]

55. I'm in a great neighborhood now, too

In fact, F. Scott Fitzgerald spent most of his childhood in a home one black east of where I currently live. He took dance lessons at a school that used to be housed in my apartment building.

And don't worry, I'll make sure Sugar stays nice and warm. :evilgrin:

[fudge stripe cookays]

60. NO FAIR!

That area over where W.A. Frost is blew my mind. Why can't I live somewhere COOL?

Yes, dear, I have a feeling you will! :D

FSC

[ThatsMyBarack]

52. You're not alone!

I like the inspirational-stories films on Lifetime and the Lifetime Movie Channel! :toast:

[Beer Snob-50]

54. Happy MOnday Morning!!

You are not pathetic! I spent Saturday AM and a good part of the PM watching the Godfather trilogy for like the 1000000th time. Wife couldn't believe that I would do this but there was not much else to do.

[In_The_Wind]

56. OMG Sugar ...

You did pick some emotional movies to keep you company.

[Sugar Smack]

61. I did! Sometimes a girl's got to wring a tissue to death and sob

woefully. Can I tell you about the first time nnns passed me a hankie? I was shocked! I didn't know they made hankies any more! I blew my nose, and like a gentleman, he accepted it when I handed it back to him.

You know, instead of saying, "EW. YOU keep it."
