fall in love like: anne and gilbert

So, why Anne and Gilbert? You see... the thing about Gilbert is that he lets Anne find her own way. Lets her make mistakes, and get herself in some awful spots, but is always there when she needs a shoulder to cry on. He knows what she needs and what she wants before she does. I think what makes me love him so much, is that he is patient with her. No matter how hard, or how often she pushes him away, even when he was firmly planted on the "friend shelf" he never gave up on the love he felt for her. He trusted that she would find her own way to him. After all, this is Anne we are talking about, she can never take the easy way.






How do I relate? Well, every Anne needs her Gilbert. I believe that Gilbert Blyth was my first movie crush. As a little girl I made a solemn vow to myself that someday, I would find my own Gilbert and marry him. Basically, I am Anne. I'm not scared to say what I mean and I mean what I say. I'm hot headed and not always the most graceful when it comes to social events. I tend to attract attention, and in general, people tend to like me. Well, guys tend to like me, girls never really know what to do with me. Luckily, I have had a few bosom friends along the way to keep me on my feet.

The moral of the relationship is... Anne and Gilbert are, kindred spirits. They would have to be for Gilbert to put up with Anne's hair brained ideas. Which is exactly why, I need Gilbert Blyth.

girls night - b-day addition

 Yeah to having a great friend.

 On Monday, Sara and I had a girls night. Yes, it was a typical girls night that consisted of talking about boys, books, movies, a bit of fashion and everything in between (not necessarily in that order). It was a much needed day on my end. But it was also a very special girls night, it was our own little celebration of my birthday! I even got presents!

Brennan as always was very excited to see me. He's so cute, and he's got so much energy for such a little puppy. 

Sara made home made pancakes, which were delicious! So very nice and fluffy. YUM. 

I did help flip a few pancakes, but Sara was the real master behind this lovely meal. And of course, the conversations about boys, books, movies, and a bit of fashion and everything in between (not necessarily in that order), continued. 

While we ate we watched a little Christy and debated (and didn't agree) on which man was better, Dr. McNeil or David. 

Personally, I like Dr. McNeil, the kind of man that'll protect you and be there no matter what. He will also not always agree with you and will bicker with you a bit, knowing that it's all in good fun, even if you end up getting a little riled up and mad at him, he knows it's all fleeting and in two seconds you'll be in his arms again. Yet very suave and handsome (and in his case the accent doesn't hurt).

Sara, on the other hand, is more into David. Tall, dark and handsome, yes, but he's also steady and wants nothing more then for you to be happy and will do anything to protect you. But he likes peace and not big on the riled up side, and any bickering he takes personally and holds on to it. 

Eh, They both have their merits, but Sara can have David. I'll keep Dr. McNeil.

movies gave me false hope

Don't you hate it when you watch a movie and the girl wakes up and her hair is just perfectly messy. Then the next morning you wake up and look in the mirror and expect to see that perfectly cute and fun morning hair and what you actually get is, well, a mess. Really, it's not fair. I want movie morning hair.
