So, I've just watched the movie that this blog is titled. I found it very funny, but also very insightful! Yes...Girls, I recommend this one. It really does say a lot about men. And men, don't be ashamed in going along to watch it, especially if it's just you and other guys, because it can be very good for you to learn what WE think.
It follows eight different people. It's kind of like 'Love Actually', in that it pieces things together for you, everyone is linked somehow. However, it deals with relationships, rather than on what is happening in a person's life.
Personally, I feel as though I'm Geegee, so I'm going to try NOT being her from now on, and get on with life. However, I do not stalk people. That would actually be scary!
Anyway, worth going to see, especially if you love comedy dramas. Enjoy!

My Birthday is coming up...
It is, yet again, a fairly long time since I last posted. Six months, or thereabouts. Enough to need a new post.
I have been overseas, and it was a fair amount of fun. Got to see lots of different things, and meet a lot of new people, and not understand a word of what some people were saying! The joys of travelling in Europe: a new language nearly every single day! Overall, I enjoyed it immensely and would recommend anyone doing it.
I went through Contiki for my trip, and chose one that went for 3 weeks. Trust me, that amount of time is enough for anyone travelling. You are pretty much on each other's nerves by the end of it, and are sick of living out of a suitcase with NO clean clothes left, unless you were lucky enough to wash some somewhere along the way. I achieved washing some in Vienna. I had the room to myself, and used the bathroom.
I got to see several amazing cities, many for the first time: Lucerne, Nice, Florence, Rome, Venice, Vienna, Prague, Amsterdam. I had been to Paris and Munich before, but in Munich I can now say that I've been to the Hofbrauhaus, and in Paris I can say that I've been to the Moulin Rouge. When travelling in Rome it is an absolute must to see the Vatican City (definitely a must!!) as well as the Colosseum and the Roman ruins. We unfortunately had rain the day we were in Rome, but that just added more fun to the adventure. I also got to see the Mouth of Truth, made famous in the movie 'Roman Holiday' with Audrey Hepburn (who won best actress Oscar for the role) and Gregory Peck. Both very fine actors.
To me, Venice and Amsterdam are very similar in one respect: there are canals everywhere. However, where Venice is sinking quickly into the mud, Amsterdam just has buildings that are tilting due to foundations. I'm not quite sure which is worse! Both cities, though, are extraordinary in their creation, and will be a highlight of my trip memories every time I think back on it. I also got to wander around both of them on my own, trying to make sure I didn't get lost in Venice (which is apparently very easy to do, but I didn't achieve it - YES!), and finding my way to the Rijks Museum to view the Dutch Masters. Venice is charming due to all the lovely canalways and gondolas, and walkways and bridges. However, be prepared for some smell if you go on a gondola. Yes, the waterways do smell. Only in certain back ones, though. Amsterdam is beautiful as well, and very easy to walk around due to all it's flatness.
Anyway, I have other things I must attend to. Write something new hopefully another time during the year.
Oh, and the title of the blog refers to my birthday on Tuesday. Not having a party of friends coming around - have lost touch of Sydney ones. Hopefully, though, it'll be a lot of fun anyway.
