2 true Stories in 1 Night

5:30 P.M. Roommate told this story

A friend of a friend of a friend's ex-boyfriend (really) asked the guy whose bachelor party he was attending, why he was marrying his finance.

The man of the hour's reply? :

"She's hot, she's good in bed and I can't do any better."

 
I was surprised at such a simple, expressive, depressing, upsetting, disgusting, and eye opening statement.

I spend so many of my sleepless nights wondering if I'm going to settle, afraid that I'll truly never real love, the type that we read about in fairy tales and watch in movies. That I forget that there is a slim chance that I can be the type of girl that a man just settles for.

I've met the girl that he was talking about and have talked to her about their wedding and her own prince charming. The girl seemed delighted and swept off her feet; she seemed so happy about the new phase of her life. I never met the man in question but from her account he seemed to be so perfect for her.

So sad.

I wonder if there will ever be a real person I can trust out in the real world.

7:45pm: I accidentally made my friend cry. 

I have a friend who is homosexual, something that does not matter to me but I have learned from him about the inner beauty of people. This teaching does not stem from his sexual orientation but from his inner beauty.

My friend showed me and my roommate the acceptance speech made by the screenwriter of the movie "Milk" at some awards show [edit: The Oscars].

It is highly touching and can be found on youtube here.

I decided to show that friend something I watched in the past, a touching statement made by talk show host Ellen on her show about the killing of a young boy named Larry King. Larry King was a homosexual young man who asked a straight classmate to be his valentine; this classmate then killed Larry.

Ellen's statement can be found here.

Watching the video made my friend upset and come to tears, he kept repeating that he's just a young boy. I only wanted to show my friend that Ellen "hit the mark" in her statement made on that show.

I really did not mean to do that!

8:20pm: Irrelevant but I did get to go out with cousins I haven't seen in a long time. I LOVE THEM!
