Sneezes.

I watched a movie last night, which was not bad, but it was also not utterly fantastic: Two Days in Paris. I was struck by the movie though, in many ways...and I do really like Julie Delpy...So I included the closing lines of the movie, which really moved me.

“It always fascinated me how people go from loving you madly to nothing at all, nothing. It hurts so much. When I feel someone is going to leave me, I have a tendency to break up first before I get to hear the whole thing. Here it is. One more, one less. Another wasted love story. I really love this one...we'll slowly think of each other less and less until we forget each other completely. Almost. Always the same for me. Break up, break down. Drunk up, fool around. Meet one guy, then another, fuck around. Forget the one and only. Then after a few months of total emptiness start again to look for true love, desperately look everywhere and after two years of loneliness meet a new love and swear it is the one, until that one is gone as well.

There's a moment in life where you can't recover any more from another break-up. And even if this person bugs you sixty percent of the time, well you still can’t live without him. And even if he wakes you up every day by sneezing right in your face, well you love his sneezes more than anyone else's kisses.”

10 bucks says you mainly watched the movie because the "crazy roommate" from Friends is in it.

Eddie?

No dude. I watched it because I thought Julie Delpy's writing for Before Sunset was incredible...and because she's great.
