Real Life vs. The Movies

Real Life:

*My facebook is littered with Alabama fans talking about how they are going to win the national championship tonight. I will probably hate life if that comes true. I will not be watching the game as I feel I am bad luck. I tuned in to watch Troy in overtime last night only to see them lose. So, if I were to watch hoping for Bama to lose, they would probably win. I hope this trick works...

*School starts on Monday and I am actually waiting for it to get here. I want it to be over with as this is my last semester of classes (internship in the summer). I'm in the excited/scared stage as it is beginning to set in that I have no idea where I will be a year from now.

Movies:

I've seen a few movies lately: Sherlock Holmes (liked it) Terminator Salvation (it was alright) and Seven Pounds (for the third time, but it gets me everytime). I think I am going to start a sideblog documenting all the movies I watch in 2010. Of course, I also said I was going to start a sideblog that was music related and we see how that turned out (it didn't).

Real Life vs. The Movies:

Being that I am single, I am curious as to how I am going to meet a girl. I was dating a girl from high school but that's done and over with so I am wondering how my next relationship is going to start. Is it going to be like in the movies -- we stumble into each other at the grocery store, go for the same cd at Best Buy, meet each other's gaze from across the room at a party? I have no idea, as I know those things rarely happen, but I'm curious and want to pose a question to you:

How did you meet your significant other that you are currently dating or did date for a while? Do you have any cool stories from freinds and family about how they met? I'm just curious if any of that stuff really happens and also curious if they are any cool stories out there.
