Amelie

[fluffymark]

I am in a happy dreamy romantic mood. Just watched Amelie and decided that film is *so* me. Like totally me .I was practically in tears in places and its been a long time since anything has emotionally affected me in this way. Everything is happy and friendly and I want to hug the world. I'm a romantic dreamer at heart always looking for the happy ending in everything. Call me a fool if you like but I live for dreams.

I'm going to Paris in June! To meet Val for her birthday! Go me! *excited*

That's a coincidence, I saw Amelie recently as well and reacted much the same... and yes it *is* very you, I hadn't thought of that. In fact you may just be the reason why it's me as well. I dunno.

*confused*
Why would I be the reason why it's you?

Hmm... I was a lot like that anyway, but meeting someone else who was even more like that kind of inspired me.

*stunned*
I thought it was you that inspired *me*.

Even so, I've always been the one to try and help everyone. I think I do that too much to the extent that they feel that i'm getting involved in things that are 'none of my business' or I intefere and things go wrong or I neglect myself (just like amelie).
Plus I've always had a mischievous nature to be adventurous and playful to the extent of laying trails for people or leaving random objects anonymously where they are like to find them.

The me/amelie comparison only falls down becasue the film has a happy ending. In fact I was almost hoping it *wouldn't* be a happy ending - i knew any happy ending would make me cry. Just because.

Argh *hugs*... well, you haven't had any ending yet, y'know, you're very much in the messy middle of the film I think... maybe in real life everyone is... but happy endings *are* the most tear-jerking anyway, I know what you mean.

I am grinning my head off because I apparently inspired you. That is so funny and wonderful. Obviously we were both great to start off with but we each thought the other was better and so inspired each other to greater heights...

BTW, I am going to be in London on the weekend of the 11th/12th and quite possibly the 13th and 14th as well, so I can do my penance and come and see you :) also I just found 'Games People Play' in my wardrobe, do you want it?

[fluffymark]

But you *are* better than me. You always will me.

ooooh! Visit me!! *lotsofbounces* That weekend would be fab. We could do picnic or museum or BBQ or theatre or cinema or just chase the pigeons and hug the trees and make it a weekend of silliness. *dancesaround*

And I'd love a copy of 'Games People Play'. Good book. good book!! :)

You think I'm better than you? Jeez, thank you... I think I'll frame that next to Catriona saying I'm a better writer than JK Rowling :) It's a really good job we started talking to each other again, as I'd have been left with very different ideas of what you thought of me otherwise...

As for the weekend, I'd prefer something that didn't cost money *or* involve food, but I'm trying to achieve a semblance of normality in these matters so a picnic or something would be OK... anyway, what time, ish?

Oh yeah, um... I think you're better than me as well. If you hadn't guessed from my reaction. All this probably means a) we're both really good in not-easily-comparable ways, and b) we both have a spot of self-image trouble :)

I agree with Catriona of course. Although I would *never* have told you that without knowing her opinion first - I don't consider myself a good judge of literature, so was keeping my mouth shut. I like your stuff *lots* but I thought that was mainly becasue I'm impressed by you. If Catriona has the same opinion though, and I'll trust her to be an excellent judge of literature, then I'll poke my nose out here and say 'Everyone read Eve's stories- they're *amazing*'

Ok, I'll stop making your ego inflate to galactic proportions now, but it just *had* to be done.

As for your weekend in london - well anytime is good fro me, but lets provisionally say sunday afternoon. Usually not much else happening then. Picnic sounds an eminent plan of sorts, although if you'd just prefer somehting simple and just want to pop in for a chat, thats ok, but i'd rather go out and *do* something. Bat is almost certainly in london too that weekend, maybe we can co-ordinate things with her.

Maybe easier to arrange this on email.
