Indy got me through the rough times
Just read Carolyn’s dream about her boyfriend, Joaquin (congrats on his recent Golden Globe win, Carolyn!) and I remembered that Before I met Christopher (BC) I had not only a slew of imaginary boyfriends (I was a big ol’ slut in the imaginary dating world) but also imaginary friends (which I can’t figure out because I had/have some wonderful, very real friends and was therefore not in need of imaginary ones, at least not with the same urgency that I needed my imaginary boyfriends). I don’t mean imaginary as in putting a real person into an imaginary situation (like how this girl I know, Emily, wants to marry Bon Jovi or the story I did at The Dollar Store about my date with Tone Loc), nor do I mean it in the little kid sense of imaginary, as in “This is my imaginary friend, Bobby, who’s really a raccoon and he lives in the creek by my house and no one can see him but me and Yes, he talks! to me! and don’t sit in that chair, that’s Bobby’s chair!” No, I mean imaginary like Fictional Characters imaginary.

Comments
(why thank you.)
You and Me and Trinity would be a total girl gang, in TOTALLY an "OR ELSE WHAT?" kind of way.
and helllo the Warrior. he was h-o-t HOT. you mean the movie w/ the same chick who was in run lola run, right? yeah, at one point i knew that dude's name and was searching him on the internet all the time but you know, if you don't do american movies, you're not all that easy to get information on over the internet. who knew? similarly to the dutch dude who's in that arthur/guinevere movie with clive owen and keira knightly. in the movie i think he's tristan. the one w/ the hawk. soooo hot. apparently he's like the biggest movie star ever in... in denmark? or the netherlands? (are those the same place?) or somewhere. but really can't find too much info about him. which is sad. because if he came along, well, joaquin would have to be a VERY GOOD boyfriend that week to make sure i didn't run away...
