“OK, life’s a fact. People do fall in love, people do belong to each other – because that’s the only chance anybody’s got for real happiness.”
-Breakfast at Tiffany’s
I’d consider myself a pretty well read girl. I like reading books that make me think, solve mysteries, and that make me stop right on the last page and say “oh my god, thats dark”.
I have no special affinity for the colour pink. Sure its a nice hue, but I don’t need my entire wardrobe, room and dog to be covered in it! 
I’m not afraid of getting dirty. If there’s a tree people are a-climbing, you can bet I’ll be a-climbing it too.
I resent any sort of sexist remarks or behaviour. Support women’s charities and happily call myself a feminist.
I hate Chick Lit.
Then why am I so in love with chick flicks?!
Sure they have predictable plots, a very similar cast of characters and those ushy gushy moments that should make you say “gick!”. But there’s something about a romantic film that makes me swoon and instead of “gick!”, I utter “awww” instead. I even cry at the occasional movie! The first time I watched “The Notebook”, I was in bits. You know the part I’m talking about: It wasn’t over! IT STILL ISNT OVER! The “Notebook effect” has worn off – but if you put on “A Walk to Remember”, I guarantee I will ball every single time.
So here we have it: My favourites, in no particular order! I could watch these films over and over and they still make me swoon just a little bit!

I’m on a constant quest for new ones – so if you have any suggestions – please comment! I’ll leave you with one of the most memorable lines in chick-flick history:
“…And it’s not because I’m lonely, and it’s not because it’s New Year’s Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”
- When Harry Met Sally
