Hoping to take SOME of the sting out of the previous post re: "the dream", I had some more info come to me on the bus ride into work.
You know how when you see something or someone and you wonder, "why does that/he/she seem familiar?" Sometimes is deja vu, sometimes, it could be something else, like say, a dream.
For me, when my eyes accidentally landed and fixed on someone's Metro paper and I saw the review for All the King's Men which included a movie still of Sean Penn & Mark Ruffalo, that was that moment for me.
Now whether or not I'm about to admit to a FOURsome by copping to the following is really besides the point (or at least give me a pass on it, because really, people, have I not already admitted the worst to you?) but for some reason, Mr. Mark Ruffalo seems reaaaaaally, uh, "familiar" from yesterday morning.
And this.....THIS...actually makes sense to me as I HAVE in fact gotten swoony on him.
See?
Cute, down to earth, charming, and most key here kids: definitely, definitely doable.
How DV (won't even spell out his name now) got there, or how my sweet baby Mark morphed into DV (thus leaving me scarred for life), I'll never know. I'm sure it's all a sign that I'm severely messed in the head (or maybe that my taste in men "has range" which apparently is not limited to quirky, height challenged ones) but someone the fact that Mark was there makes me feel a LITTLE better.
good to know you're not a TOTAL lost cause. I'll call off the men with white coats. Although maybe I should hold them on retainer while we see how tonight's dreams go....

As a person who has featured some unlikely fellows in my own nocturnal mental meanderings, I think I've figured this one out. Since our dreams are not to be taken literally, but rather symbolically. I believe that when such men as these appear, it is to "round out" or balance the strictly "pretty boy" types our libido would have us feature. Sure they're fun for awhile, but who could survive a life without humor for very long? (Plus they make for an hilarious post!)

Is it just me or is he totally getting hotter? I never thought he was that cute in Eternal Sunshine or You Can Count On Me.

TB, 13 going on 30 sealed the deal for me.
Amy, I'm not justifying. Just saying I get around?

No Amy, that'd be me justifying... It WOULD be a pretty funny survey, to see the list of unlikely romantic encounters that individuals had, when their unconscious took over, though. Don't you think?

Mmmmm. Those lips. He's a keeper...regardless.

Have you seen "We Don't Live Here Anymore" with Naomi Watts?
Mark was hot. Sizzlin'

Most of the time I feel- well, I think George Carlin described it best when he said, "Ever have Vu Ja Da? That is when you swear you have never experienced this before." And let me tell you, there are times that can be quite good.
