the lake house?

has anyone seen the lake house? i just watched it (my first redbox rental). I'm not sure if it's one of those movies i should watch again because i'll get more out of it, or if i should just leave it as a very odd, confusing, unrealistic movie. course i cried, but still. odd.

also watched the wedding date tonight. talked to a friend yesterday about it. made me wonder about boys/guys/men in general (in no way is this a reflection/commentary on my friend) - but are they all really that callous on the inside and some just hide it better than others? "you may wonder why your relationship isn't like the one in the movie, but we wonder why you can't look like debra messing."

In the past i've loved being "one of the guys". I lay out the fact that i'm not interested in dating anyone, i just want to be friends, that i like that guys aren't catty like girls - and for some reason they just open up. Or, the friends of a boyfriend - they assume that since you're with their friend they can be completely honest with you: they wouldn't ever date a girl with big hair, or a girl that has weird parents, or that they're not really into their current relationship but she's good for messing around, or etc. Are some just taught better than others what's okay to say and what's not? But even then, are they all like that inside but some are able to ignore it? Does it matter either way? Can one make broad generalizations for a gender? I guess i would resent that if someone did it to the female gender. There have just been several jaw-dropping comments as of late, and it's making me wonder. That's all. Not cynical, just wondering. thanks.

So anyway. If you read this and are of the praying type, can you please keep me in yours tomorrow (today i guess: wednesday) at 8pm cst. thanks.
