of chick lit, flicks and music

i find it rather embarrassing that at a grand ol' age of 30, i still thoroughly enjoy chick lit, flicks and music.. somehow, the idea of fairy-tale endings appeal to me.. and lighthearted humour, coupled with all that cringe-worthy cheesy-ness and less than real plots/storylines/lyrics come together to give me a general happy and warm fuzzy feeling inside..

some of my friends have first hand knowledge of my liking and have been put through the "torture" of chick-ness.. K & S could not stop laughing and cringing while being dragged through "he's just not that into you" at the movies, or HM with "priceless" on dvd, or J, who's been put through this for many many years or even my poor ears, with the following song on loop ALL day on an especially bad work day! (i especially like the change of outfit midway through the song! i know i know.. i'm a sucker! :)



when i was younger, i wondered if i would outgrow them soon enough, but clearly, it hasn't happened.. and contrasts are starker in light of HM's selection of books, if likened to university coursebooks, make my reading look like kindergarten colouring books.. :)

ah well.. i am who i am.. at least it contributes to my emotional (albeit unrealistic fairy-tale like) education :) and woe betide the person i fall in love with..
