I'm contemplating a layout change around here. I made this image over break, with the full intent of reviving my old site with lotsa fun stuffs, but then I realized,

1) Why not put the image here?
2) What kinds of "stuffs" would I put on that site, anyway? I'm not creative, not dedicated enough to blog on there frequently, and I'm not sure I have the desire to go into designing/icon-making/whateverstufflikethat again.

So, yeah. I love the image, but . . . Oh, sigh. I really just need to get my Warren G. Harding presentation over with. (It's been hanging over my head for a few days now.)

But, I went and saw Jersey Girl on Saturday. It was so much better than I had anticipated, I cannot even describe it! I want to see it again, because . . . it was just that good.

And I also want to take back anything/everything mean I've ever said about Liv Tyler, just because she/Arwen was added into the Lord of the Rings movies in a major way. I said those things on dland forever ago because I was being all purist-y and whatnot. I've come to respect her as an actress more, plus she's not one of those anorexic women that people (myself included, to a certain extent) are always aspiring to look like; she's realistically proportioned, and at the same time very beautiful.

I think I'm kind of starting to come into an acceptance of myself and my body. Or at least I hope I am.

ETA - GO CUBBIES!

I really want to see Jersey Girl (I accidentally wrote "grill!")

From the previews and comments and everything I've heard of Liv Tyler, I'm taking all of those mean thoughts about her that I once had back, too. :)

Teehee. I saw a commercial about the Chicago Cubs, and the first thing I thought of was Amy!

And see, that happens to me a lot (relating things I see with people on lj or wherever.)

You should see it! :)

And I'm glad to know my name is associated with the Cubs!! ::hugs::

Yes, Jersey Girl was such a cute and good movie. It is such a big change from Kevin Smith's other movies. Clerks was SO obscene and riddled with curse words and sexual references. It got overwhelming. But Jersey Girl was one of those feel-good movies. I will most likely buy it once it comes out.

And I've found that lately I've been retracting all of the bad thoughts I'd had about Liv Tyler. The fact that she refuses to lose weight to conform to the Hollywood standard gives her major points. And then she was so good in Jersey Girl and it's not her fault that Movie!Arwen was not Book!Arwen. She was just playing her part and she did a good job of it.

I've been very much feeling the Liv Love lately. And Ben Affleck love, especially now that Bennifer is dead.

I went full out on the Liv Love with that image I made over break. Who'd have known a year ago? :)

I'd tend to agree, except during LOTR, when she was apparently down to a medically unsafe weight (and given that she was my weight when I was 13 and I'm at least six inches shorter, my mind boggles).

I'm still not too fond of her as Arwen, but I've liked her in other movies.

I think I'm kind of starting to come into an acceptance of myself and my body. Or at least I hope I am.

I hope so, too. I hadn't said anything before, but I honestly cannot see why you feel you need to lose weight, and it kind of worries me a little. Please be healthy about whatever you do, anyway.

I didn't know that . . . That is kinda scary. :/

I will. I guess it's less about weight for me now than about how I actually feel.
