So with all the crap on TV, I decided to watch Bridget Jones' Diary as I haven't watched it for years. When it came out I was 21 and while I found it funny, it didn't really resonate with me. However, watching it now I realise I am her!
She is single, I am single
She lives on her own, I live on my own
She is obsessessed with her weight, I am obsessessed with my weight
She smokes and is constantly thinking about giving up, me too
She is socially awkward, so am I
She is 30, I am 30
She is a dreamer, so am I
She resorts to eating out of jars when depressed, so do I (particularly Marmite ;-) )
Oh god, I really need to sort my life out or meet Mr Darcy, or both!
Ohhhh Mr Darcy - better get looking!!
ReplyDeleteI'm almost 4 out of those 8 - obsessed with my weight, socially awkward, two years away from 30, a dreamer ... If I hadn't found my Mr Darcy, I'd be 6 out of 8 :P I also have several self-help books, which is very her too. Bridget is meant to be an everywoman though, so there's no shame in being like her :D
