give it that ole college try
i love hugh grant. dont misunderstand me, i am not IN love with the man. i just love him. like i love vanilla ice cream or jane austen.
i dont actually know the man. i just know his movies. maybe i love his accent. maybe i love that he always plays an underachiever in movies. i really connect to that. i mean, in my real life experience, men who are cowards are... well i am a like a fly to a flame.... but that doesnt mean they are any less destructive.
but in his movies, love makes him strong, makes him brave, makes him bold. having my own history of underachieving, i question if i connect to him b/c i do the same things his characters do OR is it that i am attracted to men who do those things...
its probably both.
i am a coward. its true. now you know it. i have been crushed before. my heart went from the statue of david to a print of it. three-d -->two -D. i am still recovering.
but then i see a hugh grant movie and i imagine myself being so transformed by love that i am not only healed but i am free to be loved... again. it is moving.
i know it is only a movie. i know i used to watch movies to forget my pain and then listen to music to remember. but there is hope for something different. you dont have to have a vision for what that difference is... you just have to believe.
and i do.

I like Hugh Grant movies. I really like Love Actually. Has anyone seen that?
The only real beef I have with Hugh Grant is that he cheated on his long-time girlfriend, Sienna Miller. I subscribe to the idea that celebrities are really just ordinary people with lots of advertising dollars behind them.
Hugh Grant or not, you don't cheat on your girlfriend.
i really loved that movie. i do have this thing about k. knightly though... she kind of annoys me. not sure what it is.. but she still annoys me on screen. i dont know her personally.
yeah, dont cheat on your girlfriend. bad idea.
I have seen many movies that have inspired me, but I've never seen A Hugh Grant movie!!Can you believe that?!Terrible, I know. Maybe it's because I'm 45 yrs old? I don't know. But it is so refreshing when you can connect with a character in a movie. I will, from now on, concentrate on renting a Hugh Grant film due to your good review of his films. Thanks!
I actually like Hugh Grant movies too, I dont know why because I usually don't like actors who have poor choices in real life activities. He seemed to lose a lot of clout when he was caught with a hooker, but I still watch his movies. Too bad about your love life, hope all goes well for you.
