Birthday Party in Rochdale

This evening I went out with my sister and her girlfriend to a birthday party.
I had a great time as usual because we make so many really good jokes.
Her girlfriend and I get along because we are so much alike.
We both inspire positive changes in each other and keep each other grounded and smiling whenever we speak. It's a beautiful thing that she can be accepted as part of the family and we don't have dull moments.

Rejecting and Accepting Stereotypes


It's interesting.
When it comes to listening to my male friends talk about women, I don't necessarily avoid doing what the woman in their stories are accused of doing but I do consider the male point of view. For example, I have some friends who dislike women taking them for granted. In my own personal relationships I try to be a little more understanding of situations in which I might act stereotypically like other women of my age group. I would watch out for times that I might be inconsiderate of the man's feelings and focused on mine all the time.

The way that I succumb to more feminine characteristics would be my burgeoning addiction to high heels, make up and fashion.

V For Vendetta


Every time I hear the saying 'V-day' I think of the movie V For Vendetta. That was a cool moment because I remember an old friend who completely enjoys movies. We shared this passion for dissecting plots and appreciation for the action and theatrics that went into the movies. We indulged in the spectacular shows we sat down to watch, and I promise you, when you do something pretty decent with someone who fully enjoys it, you have a much much better time than if that person did not care.V For Vendetta seemed to be a pretty grand production, what with the cape and all.

But really, I meant to write about my weekend and my Valentine's day. It was spent at my boyfriend's family's house. There was good food and good company. This was simple but held value to me anyway.
