Love Actually

I saw this movie for the first time in theaters with a friend.

It was, actually, the first R-Rated movie I went to legally after my seventeenth birthday.

I loved the movie right away, endearing as it is.

That year I watched it nearly every weekend, with various friends and flings.

The movie fell off my radar for several years until one day it was in the sale bin at my grocery store.

I picked it up and brought it home, explaining to my roommate that she shouldn't judge me for my sappy taste in movies, it was simply a guilty pleasure.

My roommate turned to me and said, "Are you kidding?? I LOVE that movie."

The next day we both played hooky from our obligations and stayed home and watched the movie, as we would any time we felt we needed a break from the real world.
