i'm no olivia wilde

And honestly, who could ever even come close to being anything like her? She made me realize something from Drinking Buddies. I was actually pretty confused during the entire movie.

I really wanted her and the guy from work, Jake M. Johnson (also Nick from New Girl), to get together! They had such chemistry--it was killing me to watch. But they both had their own separate relationships to tend to and I thought that was what was keeping them from being together. And I know that Johnson wanted her. It was so obvious. And she had the opportunity to have him and she said no. I was even a little upset at the whole situation. And I put my mouse over the time and there were only 5 minutes left to resolve all the awkward, give in to the urge to become intimate, and make what I thought would, of course, happen, to happen. But it didn't. It never happened. And I hate to say that I wish it had ended the way I had expected, however, I took some time to think about it and I really love the ending now. We always want movies to end different--we want to be surprised and for there to be an unexpected twist, so there I had one, and I felt upset. What's wrong with me? I think all I wanted was a happy, romantic ending.

And even though it wasn't necessarily a "romantic" ending, it was a happy ending.

Sometimes things are better left as is. Sometimes that is the best thing you can do and that doesn't mean there isn't a happy ending. It just means that there is an unexpected twist that we all thought we wanted but it turns out we like having any idea of what the future has in store. There's nothing wrong with wanting that cliche ending, and I don't see anything wrong with repeatedly wanting to know the future instead of it being a surprise for us. The unknown is scary, and it's confusing, and it's endless. There are no ends and no boundaries to the unknown, and that, my friend, is fucking scary. But you know what.

Why not.

Why not the unknown? Why not throw in a little curveball? Expect the unexpected, that's what I say. I'm no Olivia Wilde, and I never will be, however, I know that I want the twist at the end. I want the unexpected, no matter how unknown and scary it may seem. My life has more value to itself when it's a surprise, because I fucking love surprises, and life is a gift that should be cherished.

Take that as a grain of salt. We all have so much to live for and to live to be. Don't be discouraged if things aren't what you expected--it will all be more interesting that way.
