manly bonding

So I watched The Wedding Planner for the third or fourth time, and it was the first time that I noticed that the guy who plays the Italian dumb guy is actually Alex Karev from Grey's Anatomy!! Who'd have thought?

I want to start interning for a wedding planning place starting next summer. I think I fantasize more about walking around with a wireless walkie-talkie in my ear whisper-shouting at the caterers than I do about actually walking down the aisle. Maybe I haven't mellowed out quite as much as I've convinced myself.

Speaking of which, I'm still going to keep the promise I made to myself a few years ago: never do anything unless it's truly what I want. Now that I've significantly slowed my life down, I can clearly see what it is I want to do as opposed to what I think would be good for me.

So far, I've figured out three important things:
1. Poetry makes me fucking depressed, and I don't want to spend my life picking at my old wounds just to come up with something to publish. Even so, it's still something I like, so I'll continue taking classes for fun.
2. Law school is still an option as long as I keep my GPA exactly where it is right now. Plus, you get to wear really cute suits and briefcases (huge plus).
3. I'm a confident yet non-competitive person. In other words, I know I have the ability to do anything I put my mind to, but I never feel the need to compete to get what I want. I just work my hardest, and if that leads to somewhere good (whether I plan it or not), then I'm cool with it.

I've also figured out some "housewife" themes for the tea parties:
1. Trailer park housewife: short shorts, bad bleaches, and frito pie.
2. Gothic housewife: harajuku style dresses with blue lipstick and jugs of sangria.
3. Metrosexual "housewife": because there's nothing sexier than a man who can serve a good cucumber sandwich. I'm sure we can bribe a few guys to do this.
4. Golddigger housewife: bring your own Anna Nicole Smith costumes (and keep all speech at an exaggerated slurring).

i don't quite understand the concept of "metrosexual" housewife. if it's a wife, doesn't being more metrosexual mean the wife has to become more "manly"? if metrosexuality is a middle way of sorts, doesn't that mean the woman veers more towards being somewhat butch?
