To Good Friends, Good Food and a Jolly Good Time

Greg is gone today; in fact, he was gone yesterday, and Friday just didn't feel like a Friday. But for the first time in too long, I got to spend an evening with friends. Much to Greg's jealousy I'm sure, I spent an evening with friends eating crepes, delicious crepes, mind you. Praise to Eileen and Winnie for a job well done.

I bought my first lottery ticket yesterday too. After a week of Gary's nagging, how could I not? I think I feel lucky enough to win...$2 for a one-in-billion chance to win $17 million...is that worth it? The last time I had a lottery ticket, I won $2 and a free ticket. How cool would it be if I actually won large amounts of cash this time? Good things have been happening to me lately...keep your fingers crossed.

We went out to Blockbuster after stuffing ourselves with the yummy French desert and rented 40 Days and 40 Nights. Is it wrong of me to like that movie? Because I did. I do! It was funny enough to make me laugh out loud (most likely to Eileen's parents' annoyance), included lots of sexual humour (which I'm finding myself to enjoy muchly), and had just a tinge of romance, just enough to make me swoon, not gag. That thing with the orchid was the most sensual thing I've ever seen.
But for some reason, I feel like I've grown up too fast yet again. Why did I enjoy that movie while it made others cringe and make someone say it tainted her innocence? I'm not saying I want all my friends to be dirty and have their minds in the gutter all the time...I don't know what I'm saying. I enjoy innocence, I enjoy purity, I acknowledge and embrace those qualities, but maybe it's getting a little tiring....naivete is getting annoying.
When are we going to lose this stigma surrounding sex?

I'm feeling melancholy.
Our Lady Peace always does that to me.
