Jim Carrey overacts a lot. He looks like someone trying to prove he can really, really act when he takes on roles like Joel in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. You can never quite believe that he lacks the confidence of his main character, who I am sad to say, is me. He is so me that I had a hard time watching that movie. Not only is he me, his girlfriend is my ex-girlfriend. No BS. So it's a pattern maybe, of lonely introverted guys finding fucked up extroverted girls. I only know that it has been the best relationship of my life. I also wish I could wipe it from my mind. If there were the possibility of me doing it I would sign up as fast as I could.

Here's something you don't know: You're not very good-looking. Oh yes, you'll claim to have known that already. The thing is, you didn't really believe it. What stuck in your head was the last compliment you got from some guy who wanted to have sex with you. You need to believe that you are at least ok, maybe a 6, even a 5. You need that so that you can feel someone out there one day might want you. But you're not, you are an incredibly ordninary woman. You are definitely no Angelina Jolie. You don't have looks that make your talent seem greater than it really is. You don't have people forgiving your mistakes, your bad script choices because they want to look at you.
