Kate Winslet tells it how it is

There's been so much talk of relationships lately (from my ex telling me a new guy isn't nearly good enough for me, to me providing two friends advice with their women) that the last few days over Thanksgiving have been a welcome relief from analyzing and explaining. It's been comforting to be with all my family, even though the last time we were all together was just a few months ago. The recent Return has made me want to be home instead of living in California, thousands of miles away. But I'm trying to enjoy my new life out there and to not worry that I'm not home. And I thought I'd want to talk about it with my parents while I was home, but that's the last thing I wanted on my mind - I just wanted to enjoy my time here.

Anyways, I did think again about relationships tonight because of a movie I was watching with my parents and grandparents. I've changed this quote from "she" to "he", but this is a very good explanation of why people (me?) like bad boys, courtesy of the movie The Holiday.

"Because you're hoping you're wrong. And every time he does something that tells you he's no good, you ignore it. And every time he comes through and suprises you, he wins you over, and you lose that argument with yourself, that he's not for you." It's something I've been fighting for more time than I want to admit, and here I am falling into the same pattern. So I think I should change, but I'm not ready...
