You know what? Friday the 13th had the complete OPPOSITE effect on my life. Lots of good stuff happened. Don't really feel like going into it right now, but y'know, just had to make the point.

I ended up heading out into the city for Friday night with Nix. We talked about a whole array of things - my favourite being deciding where we'd like to be proposed to at. Not really, we were really talking about emergency places to dash off to if our boyfriend decides to pop the question somewhere meaningless. We named parks, rivers, memorable benches, sights, lakes - all sorts of romantic settings just so the surroundings are beautiful when it happens.

Now that I think about it though, I guess, ultimately, it doesn't matter WHERE I am when the moment comes. What really matters is WHO is on the asking side of the question. Hmm... but don't you think an ideal "WHERE" is much easier to discuss than the ideal "WHO"? I think so.

We met up with Minh, Will, Mindy, Eric and co at Bungalow 8, which was crawling with lots of after work drinkers and bar-goers. After eating, talking and wearing a bib (eep!) we trekked to the movies to watch (after the long decision making process) The Stepford Wives. Eh... it was okay. There were lots of times I cracked up laughing... but then there were times when... I needed the movie to be over. The night ended after that, after Nix and I played "What time will we get home?". That was fun.

ENDINGS
I decided to blog about this after watching I, Robot yesterday arvo with Al, Nix and Jay-E (look Nix, another nickname!). Mainly because, I didn't really understand the ending. I found myself asking ever so curiously "So what's gonna happen next?". Joe shut my mouth by saying the very words that were the conception of this part of my blog:

"Nel, the movie ended where it ended. You're not supposed to think about what happens next"

REALLY?

Then we thought about it. In Serendipity, Kate Beckinsale and John Cusack end up together because they were 'meant to be', and they celebrated their one year anniversary - but have we ever thought about what happens next? We're led to believe that they stay together, get married and live happily ever after.

Are the endings of movies only good when we're satisfied with the outcome? Satisfied enough that we can make up a 'happily ever after' sequence in our heads?

Here. I'll tell you something else. We were all sitting in my room last night looking up the meaning of the I, Robot ending when we started talking about the ending to The Buttefly Effect. I was horrified to discover that I watched a COMPLETELY different ending to Veed, Nix AND Alisa. While I was giving them my opinion of the ending I saw, they were all staring at me with the blankest faces - just before bursting out in laughter because they thought I was dillusional. We put the DVD on and found out that I had watched 'The Director's Cut' and that there were, in fact, two different endings to the movie. When I showed them the ending that I was so satisfied with, they all - in unison - declared that "Their ending was better". I refused to agree because I was already completely satisfied with my ending that I couldn't conceive any other ending to be as fitting for the movie.

But, my version never made it to the cinemas for a reason. I understand why. But I still like my ending better :).

To conclude, I, Robot was an excellent movie. But I hated that I was walking out of the cinema wondering what was gonna happen next because I didn't feel the story end properly. Anyone wanna close it up for me? Bye.

PS. I don't really like my last blog. It's too messy. I might delete it.
