Here’s the thing, when you’re 35 and single you start to get real creative with the activities you participate in, with the hopes of meeting available suitors. My friend and I decided to attend a French film this afternoon, to satisfy our ever-expanding fascination with all things French. When we arrived we weren’t able to get our tickets because we bought our advance tickets for the wrong day – epic fail 1. Our showing was at 2:25pm – epic fail 2 (there are no men under the age of 80 watching a foreign film at 2:25pm). Once we had the ticket situation figured out, we walked into the theater to find our seats – epic fail 3. The women sitting in a couple of seats behind us, began to strike up a conversation about law school. Prepare yourselves for a one way ticket to crazy town.
The conversation begun like this:
Random Chick: “Hey, didn’t I go to law school with you”.
My friend: “No. I wish I went to law school. LOL”
Random Chick: “Well. I went to law school, traveled aboard, I have several degrees, but I’m not a virgin and can’t get a job at a law firm because I’m not willing to sleep some old lawyer.”
Me: “Ok. Time to move.”
Random Chick: “Yep. If you’re not willing to sleep with old lawyers then you’re not getting hired. Or you need to have a rich Daddy.”
My friend: “Oh. really”
Random Chick: “America is messed up. You need a rich Daddy or sleep with old men to get anywhere in this country. You must have a rich Daddy, it can’t be a rich Mom. It has to be a rich Daddy.”
The random chick actually continued to talk to herself the entire film. She was laughing a ton and the film was a drama. I actually thought the whole situation was quite hilarious. Needless to say the French film (Thérèse) was excellent! Check back next weekend for Entry #2, when we tackle attending our first meeting up.
Silders, pomme frites, and glass of chardonnay! A delicious meal to end our cray cray french film experience.
A box of yummy French macarons! Love!
