getting over it

I've just watched 'p.s, i love you'. It's quite possibly the loveliest chick flick i've ever seen. It's also quite possibly the reason I now want to go to ireland. I told my sister this (who was sitting next to me), and she has now decided that she wants to go too. East timor seems to be off the books now. Ireland is this week's flavour. I hope to God it doesn't go off the menu.
I'm also now starting to see how other people see me. That sounds like a selfish thing to be curious about, but I think that by seeing how other people view me, i can use that to help said people. E.g - some silly people are under the misapprehension that i'm extremely smart. I've been told this. I know i'm smart to a certain extent - in a street wise kind of way, but certainly not in other respects. I think i just seem smart because i listen a lot. BUT as a consequence of their perception of me, they listen to my advice. So, i'm trying to use this to help them to smarter decisions. Don't date dickheads. Don't cry over spilled milk. Don't worry about it, it will happen naturally. All these seemingly obvious statements, from the person they percieve to be smart, are little gems of brilliance. Cliches work a wonder under the right circumstances.
Until later, hello world. I hope you're smiling.
