Yesterday was one of my closest friends in Bloomington's birthdays. As soon as I hop out of my bed I will venture over to Wal-Mart and buy her a lot of crappy romance comedy movies, tie them in a bow, and present them to her at her birthday dinner tonight at some Thai restaurant in Indianapolis (the big city!). It didn't take me long to figure out what to get her for her birthday because I've been hanging out with her the past year and I've gotten to know what she likes and doesn't like. But being a graduate student on a relatively tight budget, I had to think of what she would like, on what I can afford. This is how I came to my decision:
We all have our quirks, likes, dislikes, and embarrassing fetishes. For instance, I LOVE Michael Jackson. I will sit and watch his videos all day long, listen to his music, and recite the lines to The Jacksons: an American Dream scene for scene. So for my birthday, knowing me and my quirks, she bought me a Michael Jackson calendar. I didn't necessarily want a MJ calendar, but I can't pass up some good MJ photos. Ayesha, on the other hand loves to watch crappy romance comedies. I love RomCom just as much as anyone else, but I only like the good ones: The Holiday, Pride and Prejudice, and Valentine's Day are some of my favorites. So over the past few months she's asked me and a some mutual friends to accompany her to the moveis to see Bounty Hunter, Marley and Me, and The Backup Plan. None of these movies struck my fancy, so I kindly (and at times not so kindly) declined Ayesha's invitations.
Because Wal-Mart has such a good deal on old movies that they still have in stock and a good amount of them seem to be RomComs that's the idea I got to give Ayesha for her birthday. The only thing that has procrastinated me from hopping right over to Wally World is that I have to ride the bus : (
