hehe...years ago I had a friend tell me that I reminded him of Melanie Griffith's character in "Crazy in Alabama". So I watched it. She takes off for Hollywood with her abusive husband's severed head in a hatbox. lol.
Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience. (Oscar Wilde)
I guess I identify with Kevin Spacey in American Beauty. Except I'm not a guy. And I don't dream about cheerleaders. And I didn't get my head blown off at the end. But I have an odd teenager. And a (formerly) cheating spouse And I used to drive an old muscle car. And the world is a very complicated place, but I'm always hoping to simplify it.

One year becomes two, two years becomes five, five becomes ten and before you know it, you've wasted your whole life on a problem you can't solve. That's one way to spend your life. -rwinger
I identified with Giselle in Enchanted, I like to play pretend, see things as I'd like them to be. That would be so cool to go through the park singing, and everyone else start singing and dancing too.

But Giselle did learn that Real Love is the best, and brought her own magic into the real world and made that a better place.
I love *Enchanted* too, though I have not been able to watch it for some time.
Me, BW WH cheated in corporate workplace for many years. He moved out and filed in summer 2008.
I have the dubious reputation of being a germ-aphobe:
yuck!!!

Many a good man has failed because he had a wishbone where his backbone should have been.
We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot. --------Eleanor Roosevelt
