And it still makes me happy

Today, I decided to tackle my closet today. If you simply open my closet, you'd think it was fairly organized: Shoes in place, clothes neatly hung and four plastic containers used for the storage of random items. 

Those. Containers. Are. A. Disaster. 

Cleaning the closet usually involved opening those containers and shoving in whatever fit. Today, I finally decided to hold my breath and open each one to see what exactly I had forgotten all about. What did I find? Only one of my favorite movies of all time!

Of course, I forgot all about finishing up the closet. As fast as I possibly could, I grabbed a bag of grapes, popped the DVD in to my DVD player and curled up on the couch to watch it. Despite it having aired in 2002 (10 years ago. Oh my goodness, I feel old.) and me having seen tons of movies in that time period, I can still say that I love love love love this movie! 

Part of the charm is that there is nothing fake about this movie aside from it being...well, fake.This movie doesn't hit close to home for me. It hits home right on the roof! Take and I met under similar circumstances--a local giving a tourist with a problem a much needed hand. Much like the relationship between these two characters, our relationship began to blossom through emails and an entire year went by before we could finally be together. I watch Kyoko's character in this film and always find myself thinking: Girl, I get you. 

Every girl wants that like-in-the-movies romance and happy ending. This movie gave me that.

Of course, after watching the movie, I was forced to whip out my photo albums and take a walk down memory lane. Not gonna lie. I miss him.
