Hi –
In complete and utter amazingness Meridith and I have wasted the entirety of today. The fact that I didn’t wake up until 12:30 played a huge part in that. We spent some time watching ‘Date Night’. We spent some time making and eating delicious blueberry pancakes, which Tory joined us for. We watched ‘Nine’. I love when Marion Cotillard sings ‘My Husband Makes Movies’. We watched ‘I love you, Phillip Morris,’ which was interesting and a true story. The true story part makes it that much more interesting, otherwise it would just have been ridiculous. Now we are watching ‘The Town’, like I said we have outstandingly wasted this day. And more importantly I feel awesome about it.
Yesterday the crew of us went old school style dancing. It was for Meagan’s birthday, and it was actually a lot of fun. It was at this place called ‘Whirl and Twirl,’ where if you go an hour before the dance starts they teach you the dance for the evening. So we went, and we learned ‘The Charleston’. It was fun to sit back and watch the more experienced dancers dance. I would love to be able to do what they were doing. There was some talk about taking real classes; I hope that ends up happening.
I have to say though that for all my self proclaimed feminist ways, and for all my talk about how I don’t need a man to fix things for me, I still wanted to be asked to dance. There were women who were asking men, and everyone kept saying just go ask them, but I couldn’t. I just wanted to be asked. There’s something flattering about being asked to dance. It makes you feel pretty and interesting for that 3-minute song.
There were also these moments that I got to witness between Danny and Meagan, Loi and Marshall, and Carly and Richard; where they were off dancing in their own little married worlds. Talking and laughing, looking into each other’s eyes. It was really sweet to witness. You can see why they found each other. For those minutes in time they were alone, being themselves. Finding the same things funny, moving together as one. I was glad I got to see it.
OK ‘The Town’ is heating up now. I’m going to give Ben Affleck my full attention. It’s only right seeing as how he directed and acted in it. He worked hard for my enjoyment; it’s the least I can give him.
Love you forever, miss you always
Rachel
“Some people stay far away from the door
If there's a chance of it opening up
They hear a voice in the hall outside
And hope that it just passes by
Some people live with the fear of a touch
And the anger of having been a fool
They will not listen to anyone
So nobody tells them a lie
I know you're only protecting yourself
I know you're thinking of somebody else
Someone who hurt you
But I'm not above
Making up for the love
You've been denying you could ever feel
I'm not above doing anything
To restore your faith if I can
Some people see through the eyes of the old
Before they ever get a look at the young
I'm only willing to hear you cry
Because I am an innocent man
I am an innocent man
Oh yes I am
Some people say they will never believe
Another promise they hear in the dark
Because they only remember too well
They heard somebody tell them before
Some people sleep all alone every night
Instead of taking a lover to bed
Some people find that it's easier to hate
Than to wait anymore
I know you don't want to hear what I say
I know you're gonna keep turning away
But I've been there and if I can survive
I can keep you alive
I'm not above going through it again
I'm not above being cool for a while
If you're cruel to me I'll understand
Some people run from a possible fight
Some people figure they can never win
And although this is a fight I can lose
The accused is an innocent man
I am an innocent man
Oh yes I am
An innocent man
You know you only hurt yourself out of spite
I guess you'd rather be a martyr tonight
That's your decision
But I'm not below
Anybody I know
If there's a chance of resurrecting a love
I'm not above going back to the start
To find out where the heartache began
Some people hope for a miracle cure
Some people just accept the world as it is
But I'm not willing to lay down and die
Because I am an innocent man"
